AN AXIS OF PERDITION RELEASE VIDEO FOR "I AM ODIUM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Industrial extreme metal pioneers An Axis of Perdition are proud to unveil the highly anticipated music video for their latest track, "I Am Odium", from their critically acclaimed album Apertures, out now on Apocalyptic Witchcraft.

The dark and haunting video was directed by award-winning filmmaker Randal Plunkett, whose vision brings the track’s themes of self-destruction and creation to life. "Having been asked to come up with a storyline for a narrative video for the song, I wanted to create something that resonated with some of the themes off the album," Plunkett explains. "One of the central themes was self-destruction. Self-destruction was a catalyst that led to the idea of creation, and being poisoned by the jealousy of others. This is the inciting incident that propels the creation's journey."

The video follows a toymaker whose creation ultimately saves him, symbolizing the redemption that art can bring to the creator. Plunkett continues, "The irony of the story is that the toymaker’s creation saves him and ultimately leads to him being recreated. Ultimately, being saved by your art is often what can be the defining difference that keeps creators and artists going. I hope that this notion resonates through the video, and I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with An Axis of Perdition and Apocalyptic Witchcraft, a collective of voices who should be heard."

The band, known for their experimental blend of industrial and extreme metal, has been on a transformative journey since their formation in the early 2000s. Drawing inspiration from mental illness and the eerie atmosphere of their hometown, Middlesbrough, An Axis of Perdition has crafted a sound that blends dissonant industrial elements with visceral metal intensity. Their 2024 album Apertures is a culmination of their years of evolution, with its surrealism and atmospheric depth marking a new phase in the band's sonic landscape.

"I Am Odium" is the latest offering from Apertures, an album that pushes the boundaries of their signature style, delivering a haunting experience for listeners. The partnership with Apocalyptic Witchcraft marks a significant chapter in the band's ongoing evolution, solidifying An Axis of Perdition as one of the most distinct and immersive voices in the extreme music scene.

 

The music video for "I Am Odium" is now available to stream on You Tube.

GRAVE CIRCLES RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "YIELDING TO THE EMBRACE OF THE GROUND"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Ukrainian black metal band GRAVE CIRCLES have just released a new single that will be part of their new album. The track is "Yielding to the embrace of the ground"

Grave Circles was originally a duo formed in 2016 in Vinnytsia (Ukraine) by members of Bestial black death band  - Goatflesh. The band released its first EP on the Swedish label Shadow Records one year later. Brutal and melodic, “Tome I” sets the scene and paves the way for its successor and band’s first full-length album, soberly entitled “Tome II”. After its digital release in December 2019, the combo signed with Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions for the physical issue of this second opus in May.

The band remains aloof from the Ukrainian black metal scene, delivering cold and experimental black metal, reminding us a bit of Deathspell Omega, Mgla or Misþyrming. Reflecting upon human decay, questions of faith, worship, blasts and dissonant chords… all the ingredients for a journey as sick as introspective across Grave Circles’ world. 

In 2022, Grave Circles released the EP "Pestilence and Death", which was supposed to be released several times as limited edition on vinyl, but that never happened due to the manufacture and label problems. 4 tracks that were created in 2015-2016 during the band's early years represent delving into the territory of experimental 90s metal, while maintaining the firm grip of a black metal.

The second full length album entitled “World Within the World” is scheduled for release via Schattenkult Produktionen in April 2025.

AS THE PALACES BURN RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "ZODIAC"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Criciúma, Santa Catarina, Brazil – December 13, 2024 – Brazilian modern metal trailblazers As The Palaces Burn have unleashed their newest single, “Zodiac,” now available on all major streaming platforms. This blistering track combines the raw energy of traditional heavy metal with the precision of modern metal, creating a seamless connection between the band’s origins and their continued evolution.

“Zodiac” draws inspiration from the chilling story of the Zodiac Killer, the infamous and unidentified criminal who terrorized the United States in the 1960s. The track revisits and expands upon themes from “Arcanum,” a standout from the band’s 2019 debut album, End’evour.

Drummer and lyricist Gilson Naspolini explains:

“Zodiac offers a glimpse into the killer’s dark, introspective psyche while weaving a lyrical thread back to ‘Arcanum.’ Diego Bittencourt’s original composition didn’t initially focus on this theme, but I reimagined it to create a seamless connection—both melodically and narratively. This track captures the essence of ‘Arcanum’s’ enigmatic aura while introducing a harrowing, sinister storyline.”

The single, accompanied by a captivating lyric video (watch here), reflects the band’s growth and artistic ambition. With stellar production from Adair Daufembach and eye-catching artwork by Carlos Fides, “Zodiac” highlights As The Palaces Burn’s ability to fuse diverse influences into a distinctive and powerful sound.

“Zodiac” Credits:

Production: Adair Daufembach

Mixing & Mastering: Adair Daufembach (Daufembach Studios)

Artwork: Carlos Fides

Photography: Eduardo Köenig

All bass, keyboards, and additional virtual instruments: Adair Daufembach

Band Lineup:

Alyson Garcia: Vocals

Thiago Tigre: Bass

Diego Bittencourt: Guitar & Vocals

A Band Forged in Brazil’s Metal Scene

Since their formation in 2018, As The Palaces Burn has cemented their place in Brazil’s thriving metal community. Their discography includes the 2019 debut album End’evour, the 2020 EP All The Evil (featuring a cover of Savatage’s “Hall of the Mountain King”), and the 2022 EP Offer to the Gods, which paid homage to Brazilian metal legends Angra, Dr. Sin, and Sepultura. Their 2023 single “Into Emotions” served as a prelude to the critically acclaimed full-length album Drowning Into Shadows.

“Zodiac” stands as a testament to the band’s ability to honor their roots while embracing new creative directions. Fans of Nevermore, Judas Priest, and Pantera will find much to enjoy in this latest release.

DOSGAMOS RELEASE "ON DAY SEVEN HE REGRETTED"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

‘On Day Seven He Regretted’ marks a bold evolution for Dosgamos, building on their 2022 release, ‘Wrapped Renaissance.’ The album sees Vinnie (guitars) and Elia (drums) take the creative lead, delivering a more cohesive, rhythmically intense, and harmonically rich sound. Influenced by Decapitated, Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, and Destrage, alongside jazz-rock elements inspired by Miles Davis, the Elektric Band, and Snarky Puppy, the result is a distinctive sonic identity.

Michele’s (vocals) dynamic vocal lines and lyrics, inspired by Corey Taylor and Phil Anselmo, delve into the complexities of human existence, while Milarevan’s striking artwork visualizes the album's themes of disillusionment and hidden truths. Alessandro (second guitar) collaborated closely with Elia, drawing from Gojira and Black Dahlia Murder to inject energy and movement into the tracks.

Recorded at Audiocore Studio and expertly mixed and mastered by Ronnie Björnström, ‘On Day Seven He Regretted’ showcases Dosgamos' artistic growth. Slated for release in 2025 via WormHoleDeath Records, it promises to leave a lasting impact on the metal scene.

The album's release date is 14 March 2025.

LACABRA RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "ENEMY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Seattle metal outfit LACABRA – whose unique blend of blackened death metal and groove metal – release their third video for the new single “Enemy” taken from the group’s forthcoming debut album, out May 9.

Says vocalist Lance Neatherlin of the song, “’Enemy’ is basically a fuck you to cancel culture, but the concept is a Seraphim angel being cast out of heaven and being attacked by other angels for his beliefs. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and we should focus on what we have in common instead of what we disagree on.” The video was directed by Zechariah Valette (M.O.B. Studios) and edited by Andrew Notsch (Hollowdusk) and can be seen HERE https://youtu.be/_vvFCE7JcCI

“Enemy” follows LACABRA’s two previous singles/videos - “Fractured” https://youtu.be/rpGQ7NX4tXg?si=oZy2AAkcSkVEFusc and “Human Quilt” https://youtu.be/V57g5a7LU98?si=0vzmbiXwV4nLqFuc which all feature on the band’s upcoming self-titled album. The debut was produced by LACABRA and Gwen Kerjan (Loudblast, Anthares, Chaoseum) and mastered by King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque. The cover art was created by Nestor Avalos (Bloodbath, Rotting Christ, Hecate Enthroned) with band logo by Christian Spzajdel (Emperor, Borknagar, Moonspell). ‘Lacabra’ is set for release May 9, 2025, and pre-orders are now available at https://lnk.to/lacabra including the Crystal-Clear Vinyl (limited to 300 copies) and CD.

The Seattle based metal outfit LACABRA, which rose from a previous band LOCISTELLER and out of the ashes of the Covid-19 pandemic, brings together the talents of Lance Neatherlin (Lead Vocals), Eric Snyder (Guitar/Vocals), Eric Weber (Bass), Michael Anthony (Guitar), and Richie Sather (Drums). The LOCISTELLER lineup transformed into LACABRA minus founding member Didier Almounzi (Dragonforce, Destroyer 666). Neatherlin and Snyder (also key members) knew this band was something special and couldn’t be wasted, thus went on to forge a more straightforward and punishing approach with the music. All of them have been tried and tested in other bands, but it’s fair to say that in LACABRA they’ve caught lightning in a bottle. The band’s eclectic influences range from traditional heavy metal, dark wave, black metal as well as 1990’s melodic death metal, which they interweave seamlessly throughout their songs in a unique and purely original way. Their live shows are crushingly heavy and intense with dueling lead guitars and stage presence that rival any band out there today. Their performances and unique sound have garnered them a reputation as a must-see band in the Pacific Northwest (US) and beyond, having shared the stage with bands such as GOATWHORE, CRYPTA, DESTRUCTION, SWALLOW THE SUN, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, NERVOSA, and more.

After a very successful French tour with legendary French thrashers ANTHARES last year, LACABRA is setting up another French tour with them in October. On top of that, the band will be doing mini runs around the Pacific Northwest. Many more touring plans are in the works so stayed tuned!

Tour Dates:

3/1 – Kraken Bar – Seattle, WA w/ Vanishment

3/14 – El Corazon – Seattle, WA w/ Year of the Cobra
