THE ALPHA STRUCTURE is a 4-piece deathcore/djent inspired band hailing from Roseburg, OR, USA.
Bring eerie ambiance, crushing breakdowns, and emotional rhythms. The band first started back in 2016, with members Ryan Christian (guitars), and Terrence Dean (vocals).
Soon after, bassist Colin Dean and guitarist Nathan Gifford joined the band and began finding their sound.
In 2017, the band had released a 4-track demo of their first work, and then began writing and engineering an album.
After 2 years of playing shows, reworking their setlist, and putting together the album "7 Deadly Sins", The Alpha Structure signed with Music-Records in 2019, and began finalizing the album for release in 2020.
Today, Dutch black metal unit DYSTOPIA releases the new track "Razernij: III" through an exclusive premiere hosted by No Clean Singing.
The new album “Geen Weg Uit” is set to be unleashed through Wolves of Hades on 25th September 2020.
Three years succeeding the epic opus “Chaos Philosophorum”, Dutch unit DYSTOPIA reappears and amazes yet again with a new utmost experience on profundity and emotion, an imposing ordeal entitled “Geen Weg Uit”.
In the course of three passages, the quintet dwells deep and beyond the eclecticism and singularity it purveyed more and more on recent endeavors.
Holding Black Metal as the core of its musical essence, DYSTOPIA bifurcates into further grounds with imposing yet wonderful brass instrumentation crafted side by side with belligerent Death/Black incursions, ranging from storming blast-beating assaults filled with aggression to slower, heavier, more circumspect sections where the Dutch collective exhibits its atmospheric, most empyreal facet.
Such misty ambient traits reach its paramount character during the clean, utterly ethereal, celestial parts in which Dystopia successfully reach new heights in magnitude and passion without ever losing the intensity and urgency that permeates the more abrasive side of the band’s music.
Progressive, psychedelic chords gain momentum from a dynamic, sheerly organic production. The various faces of DYSTOPIA’s art breathe alongside in harmony, a task which – with such long compositions – could be arduous to achieve but in here work fortuitously by matter of such a vibrant sound and carefully crafted arrangements. More than anything, these compositions function as entire narratives, grandiose tomes that makes the listener forget the sense of time and place and to elevate into new zeniths.
Just as musically “Geen Weg Uit” carries a hopelessness and hectic fervor, such is a vehicle to and from the lyrical and graphic content which it conveys. It is a journey into humanity’s feeble ways, the madness and hastiness of our personal weakness. In a world devoid of individuality, of existential purpose, DYSTOPIA forges a cry for control of mind, spirit and body, a burning flame which for all its bleakness it is (still) a very human one.
Out on Wolves of Hades on limited vinyl LP, enter a 40-minute pathway into an impending doom, a visceral sonic voyage to the dark night of the soul in the form of musical art, a way out that shall endure beyond human existence, into the everlasting time.
The album's first single, "Razernij: I", is now streaming .
The album was originally recorded in 2017 but the band have decided to remix/remaster it and to re-record the bass-guitars.
MYNSKH is
An entity,
A dream,
A dead ocean reeking of rotten perfection.
MYNSKH is a music project created in 2014 by guitarist and creative mind S.A.. Now, the project rises from its European shores to unleash upon mankind the first album, Chapter 01: Obliterating Perfection.
Rooted in dark, heavy, and aggressive music, MYNSKH incorporates influential styles from classical music to ambient sounds and beyond. Walls of guitars melting with distorted cellos. Pounding drums and percussions collide with disturbing samples. Hymnic vocals pierce through venomous screams.
Interwoven with the music is a story set in a bizarre universe that has its own laws and nature, in which we follow a civilization achieving the state of absolute perfection trailed by its downfall into the darkest forms of madness and insanity. As the story imagines such an alternate reality, it synonymously reflects upon our human existence, the development of consciousness, soul and life itself.
MYNSKH was conceived as a trilogy, where every album represents a chapter of the story. Each chapter explores new sounds and elements to create a dynamic, versatile yet highly conceptual music experience.
To be able to realize this vision, MYNSKH is working with a lot of guest musicians/artists, like Florian Magnus Maier, Matthias Bartolomey, Safa Heraghi, Tania Saedi, to name a few.
Join us on our journey and welcome to the world of MYNSKH!

"AS THE WORM TURNS is a new Swedish metal act. They are a bunch of guys who are spread all over Sweden and Ukraine with different backgrounds in our music making including, jazz, punk and thrash metal. But our common denominator is that we all love metal and metal in all its forms. So we decided to do something fun together. It all started crassly enough with a couple of parties where we played each other's demos for each other and finally we came to the conclusion that we should do something about it. All or nothing. So in the end we took the devil by the horns and started to check out our secret projects.
We released a single last year that we are damn proud of, as well as a lyrics video that is available on Youtube.
