LOS MALES DEL MUNDO RELEASE "DESCENT TOWARDS DEATH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Los Males Del Mundo

Descent Towards Death

Release date: Friday, February 26th 2021

Label: Northern Silence Productions

Format: CD | DIGITAL

Country: Argentina

Los Males Del Mundo combines today's modern Black Metal sound and late 90's melodic Black Metal with lyrics deeply influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, Emil Cioran and A. Schopenhauer.

The band was first created in 2016 as a project between Dany Tee (Acathexis, Downfall of Nur) and Cristian Yans. Nikita Kamprad (Der Weg Einer Freiheit) later joined as a producer and guest musician.

In October 2020 a promotional self-titled EP with two tracks was released through Bandcamp.

Their first full length album, “Descent Towards Death,” containing 5 tracks of 40 minutes length, is an invitation to a conceptual journey, dragging the listener into the darkest and remotest places of the human soul. It reflects an internal battle, expressed as changes between aggressive and furious passages on the one hand, and dense and introspective landscapes full of melancholic melodies on the other.

Tracklist:

1. Falling Into Nothing (12:12)

2. The Silent Agony (8:28)

3. Eternal Circle Of Vain Efforts (5:16)

4. Nothing But A Lie (4:56)

5. The Heavy Burden (10:00)

Line-up:

Guitars : Cristian Yans

Vocals, Lyrics, Drums : Dany Tee (Downfall of Nur, Acathexis)

Bass (Guest musician) : Nikita Kamprad (Der Weg Einer Freiheit)

Credits:

Produced, mixed, and mastered in Würzburg, Germany by Nikita Kamprad.

DAYGLO MOURNING RELEASE "DEAD STAR"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

DayGlo Mourning

Dead Star

Black Doomba Records

12 February 2021

Sometimes a band just lands with such impact that their momentum carries them into instant recognition. DayGlo Mourning out of Atlanta are just that band - it wasn’t long after their self-titled début that they signed on the dotted line with established connoisseurs Black Doomba Records, which has been their home label ever since. Now, the time has come for a new record to showcase the best of what they have to offer. Dead Star embodies the band’s name: DayGlo vibrant colors adorn the packaging which envelops the Mourning-laden riffs.

The trio are not ones to waste a listener’s time, and go straight to what they do best - an homage to the fuzziest, most classic doom metal they can muster. The drums are on fire; Ray Miner may not be breaking any speed barriers, but he crashes and pounds out a fierce rhythm such as on opener “Dead Star”. Bassist Jerimy McNeil, meanwhile, gets a welcome centerstage slot on more than one occasion, leading the charge on “The Offering” and “Faithful Demise”. Naturally, the guitars are in the constant search for That Tone, and the one here is just the right level of amp-worshipping distortion, counterbalancing the beer-soaked yet melodic vocals of Joe Mills.

DayGlo Mourning didn’t get to this position by resting on their laurels, though, and Dead Star has a few tricks up its sleeve. One of these is the delightful blues-driven solos that litter the record, including a talk box solo on “The Offering”, while “Witch’s Ladder” shows just how low and heavy they go, while featuring intonations of curses to drag the listener into the depths of the occult. On a similar vibe, “Faithful Demise” feels strangely playful given its dark topics of death and religion, while the church-like choirs on “Ashwhore” are suitably sacrilegious.

In short, while the début was a strong opening statement, Dead Star is a necessary next step for DayGlo Mourning. Bound to delight fans of doom metal of all stripes, it’s a must-have record that stands proud among the growing accolades of a band who rep their city’s metal scene so strongly.

DayGlo Mourning are:

Ray Miner – Drums

Jerimy McNeil – Bass, Vocals

Joseph Mills – Guitar, Vocals

Tracklist

1. Dead Star

2. The Offering

3. Bloodghast

4. Faithful Demise

5. Ashwhore

Shadow Warrior is the classic heavy metal attack in the vein of early Accept, Iron Maiden, Saxon and Warlock. The band was formed in 2019 and made their recording debut with 5-song EP “Return of the Shadow Warrior”, which lyrics were based directly on history and culture of Japan. The album, initially self-released by the band in limited 100 copies, turned out to be a hit and in 2 weeks span it was totally sold out. Soon afterwards the band started to gain attention of classic heavy metal record labels from all over the world – this yielded in reissue of their EP for Asian, South American and European markets, released by Spiritual Beast, Burning Leather and Heathen Tribes respectively on CD, vinyl and MC.

By early 2020 Shadow Warrior made contact with Japanese heavy metal legend, Metalucifer, which resulted in 7” vinyl single “Heavy Metal Typhoon”, which featured Metalucifer/Sabbat lead singer Gezolucifer on vocals and iconic metal collector, Neal Tanaka, on the album cover.

By mid-2020 the band finished recording of their full-length debut album, “Cyberblade”. The album, featuring 35 minutes of premiere material encapsuled in 8 songs, was recorded and mixed in HiGain Studio (Białystok, Poland) by Janusz Grabowski and Marcin Grygoruk. The album was released on the 18th of November 2020 by Spiritual Beast (CD) for Japanese market and by Ossuary Records (CD/MC/digital) for everywhere else. The album was preceded by the 7” vinyl single “I Am the Thunder”.

“Shadow Warrior is pure and brutally honest heavy metal, which might soon stir the scene quite a bit!” - Burnn! Magazine

INFILTRATION RELEASE VIDEO FOR "MISSING IN BODYCOUNT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Russian death metallers INFILTRATION premiere the official video for the new single "Missing in Bodycount" at Slam Worldwide. Watch it at THIS LOCATION!

The song is taken from the band's debut album "Point Blank Termination", now available via Time To Kill Records.

Devotees of influential death metal merchants like Obituary, Napalm Death, Bolt Thrower and Kataklysm have a new band to champion.

"Point Blank Termination" represents the logical next step in the music development of the Russian death metallers. Their brand of groovy death metal does not lend itself to one particular era or sonic reference point. Battle hardened and steeled for the next campaign, INFILTRATION are ready to deliver this bellowing war-cry.

Pre-orders:

https://infiltration-ttk.bandcamp.com/album/point-blank-termination

https://timetokillrecords.bigcartel.com/product/infiltration-point-blank-termination

The members of INFILTRATION first came together in 2017 with one goal in mind: to pay homage to some of their favorite death metal, give it their own heavy twist, and to have a blast doing it.

The band's line-up features experienced musicians who used to be involved with such bands as Free At Last, Hellbomb, Chamber Of Torture, Katalepsy, Abnormal, and who shared the stage with iconic acts such as Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Suffocation and Broken Hope.

In 2017 the band recorded the debut EP "Nuclear Strike Warning", which was very well received by both critics and fans, and made quite a stir in the local music scene. The band also released a single and a lyric video for the song “The Art of War”, supporting the release.

During 2018-2019 the band continued to give live performances, both locally and abroad, all the while, writing and recording the material for the debut full-length album. The autumn of 2019 proved to be a very prosperous time: the band opened for legendary Napalm Death, in front of fully packed venue. Also in September INFILTRATION released the "Missing in Bodycount" single, off the upcoming album. Shortly after the gig the band decided to release another lyric video, for the song "Radiation Storm", this time via the Slam Worldwide Youtube channel. The clip rapidly gained popularity and positive feedback.

INFILTRATION are now ready to release their debut album. "Point Blank Termination" will be unleashed upon mankind on October 9th 2020 via Time To Kill Records.

Willowtip: http://bit.ly/sahrartu-willowtip

Bandcamp: http://bit.ly/sahrartu-bandcamp

EXIMPERITUS (shortened from Eximperituserqethhzebibšiptugakkathšulweliarzaxułum) invoke the magic of ancient gods for six rituals of complex, forward-thinking brutality. Šahrartu not only brings EXIMPERITUS to a new level, but pushes boundaries of death metal beyond imagination.

"Eximperitus have not abandoned the kind of occult thinking that inspires them, and as you’ll discover, they haven’t retreated from their brutalizing modes of musical expression either, though they’ve gotten even better at formulating their brand of esoteric death metal."

- No Clean Singing

Track List:

1) Šahrartu

2) Utpāda

3) Tahâdu

4) Anhûtu

5) Inqirad

6) Riqûtu

Hailing from Minsk, Belarus, EXIMPERITUS takes its name from dead languages of the Ancient East. The band was formed in 2009 and released its first demo - Triumpho Tenebrarum In Profundis Mors – in 2011. Two years later the band released another demo, Promo 2013.

In 2016, EXIMPERITUS released its debut full-length, Projecting the Singular Emission of the Doctrine of Absolute and All-Absorbing Evil…, on Japanese label Amputated Vein Records. Despite its provocative and perplexing lyrical concepts, the album was highly-acclaimed by listeners and critics, receiving rave reviews in numerous webzines and music issues around the world. The album proved EXIMPERITUS to be a band capable of creating a detailed, conceptual universe consisting of sophisticatedly composed music with inexpressible majestic atmosphere. The debut was followed in 2017 by W2246-0525, an EP that showcased the next step in EXIMPERITUS’ evolution.

BETRAYED RE-RELEASE "THE UNBELIEVER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Betrayed

The Unbeliever

Release date: Friday, January 22nd 2021

Label: ThrashBack Records

Format: DIGITAL | CD

Genre: Thrash Metal

BETRAYED was formed in late 1987 in Valparaiso, Chile (the Countries second largest city, and once called "the little San Francisco" in the mid - 19th Century) by drummer Claudio Tapia.

In 1989, BETRAYED would record their first demo, titled "Our Option", which quickly garnered attention in zines around the globe and became a favorite among demo collectors and tape traders.

In 1990 the band would re-enter the studio and record their debut album, "1879: Tales Of War", for Oso Records which was produced by Anton Reisenegger (Pentagram, Fallout, Criminal, United Forces). Though BETRAYED garnered strong reviews and played many prominent shows, they would eventually disband in 1994.

In 2004 Claudio Tapia would begin to reform BETRAYED, but it wasn't until 2015-2016 that all the pieces fell fully into place and the present line-up was fully formed.

With the line-up of drummer Claudio Tapia, vocalist Erik Flores (Pyroclastic), guitarists JL Olmos (Soulrot) and Mauricio Castro (Sadistic Murder), and bassist Jacob Wilschrey (Soulrot), the band would unleash their first new music in over two decades with the single "Looters Will Be Shot".

In 2017 BETRAYED would begin recording more new material which would be realized as "The Unbeliever". These recordings would catch the attention of the Chile based label Arataria Records who would release the recordings in that region.

The sound of BETRAYED is Thrash Metal played the way it was meant to be, catchy & razor sharp. Stylistically, we would describe them as Bay Area Thrash (Testament, Exodus, Heathen, Forbidden) cross pollinated with a pinch of East Coast snarl.

"The Unbeliever" features 12 crushing tracks in two parts: "THE UNBELIEVER" and "BACK TO TALES OF WAR", with the latter being "live in the studio" re-recordings of songs from their past: 1989 "Our Option" demo, and the 1990 album release "1879: Tales Of War", all performed with their present line-up.

Tracklist:

The Unbeliever

Panic Attack

Looters Will Be Shot

Constitution (Of The Oppressors)

Our Option

Fight For Your Land

The First Desillusion

The Message

Human Madness

1879

The Real Me

Betrayed

Line-up:

Erik Flores - Vocals

J.L. Olmos - Guitars

MAESTITIUM TO RELEASE "TALE OF THE ENDLESS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Maestitium

Tale of the Endless

Black Lion Records

5 February 2021

Genre: Melodic/Symphonic Death Metal

Location: Sundsvall, Sweden

Sundsvall-based Maestitium announces the debut EP, Tale of the Endless, set for worldwide CD & Digital release on February 05th,2021, via Black Lion Records.

From the dark north of Sweden comes the melodic/symphonic death metal act Maestitium — a studio project started by guitarist, vocalist, and composer Elias Westrin (Tomb Dweller, ex Voices of Vengeance) in the fall of 2019. While attending a music production course at Hola Folkhögskola outside of Kramfors, Sweden, Elias was assigned a project of creating an EP, and thus Maestitium was born.

Being doubtful about instrumental recordings, he searched for months for a drummer and bassist to do session work for the EP, but no one was very interested or able to play what was in mind. Luckily, after playing with the local Judas Priest cover band Metal Gods - Delivering the goods, he came in contact with Nils “Dominator” Fjellström (Nordjevel, Ex Dark Funeral) and Anton Flodin (Deathbreed). Both of them eventually became interested in recording as the session musicians for the EP.

Tale of the Endless is the debut EP telling the story of three people with troubled and dark minds, full of anger, despair, and sorrow. With inspiration from bands like Insomnium, Hinayana, and Wolfheart, Tale of the Endless brings epic melodies, blasting drums, and unworldly atmospheres.

SEPULCHRE OF MAN RELEASE "CURTAIN CALL" SINGLE

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Sepulchre of Man

Curtain Call

MMD

14 January 2021

South African symphonic death metal supergroup Sepulchre of Man will release the single "Curtain Call" on January 14, 2021, off their upcoming debut album The Reckoning.  With the support of MMD Records behind them, the track is a promising taste of what's to come from this new outfit.

The band explains, 

"'Curtain Call' is the opening track of The Reckoning, which is a concept album. It's about the apocalypse brought forth by a horde of “The Flayed Ones” -- former humans that were taken from Earth millennia ago and tortured, resulting in their hatred for mankind. 'Curtain Call' sets the tone by describing the destruction and also alludes to the fact that the destruction was part of a master plan put into place by the album’s primary antagonist. Sonically dark and vocally powerful, it makes sense that this track is the album’s single."

Preorder "Curtain Call" here: https://orcd.co/curtain_call_presave

About Sepulchre of Man

Sepulchre Of Man is a supergroup of the South African metal scene, consisting of band members that have all earned their stripes performing in multiple live and studio projects. The band was formed with the ethos of providing high quality death metal with eerie and epic orchestration, matched with a theatrical live show.  While COVID has slowed down the possibility of epic live shows at the moment, it has not dampened the band's ability to pull off amazing compositions -- and that is the aim of their upcoming debut release, The Reckoning.  Sepulchre Of Man writes concept albums, with the idea of future albums being about other apocalypses in parallel dimensions. 

Now back to that supergroup lineup: Dave Dippenaar is the drummer of long running groove metal band Psordid.  He also plays in Nerve Zero and Omentum. Simon Werner plays bass for symphonic death metal band Surdus, bass for comedic death metal bass band Omentum, and guitar for symphonic black metal band Lesuth. Alec Larsen plays guitar for Surdus, bass and vocals for Omentum, and bass for melodic death metal band Forsaking Fate.  

Together, these three seasoned musicians create a sound that is greater than the sum of its parts.  Says Larsen, "Symphonic extreme metal is something that is a fundamental part of my very being. It is an honour to be able to share something so expressive and visceral with people."

ABERRATION RELEASE "ABERRATION" EP + VIDEO

 

PRESS RELEASE:

With influences coming from extreme metal beasts like Antediluvian, Altarage, and Impetuous Ritual, Minneapolis MN dark death metal obscurators Aberration debut via Sentient Ruin with their self-titled 2021 debut 10" EP, an aural pact with total darkness that establishes them as one of the most imaginative and intimidating new entities in American underground extreme metal. 

Today Toilet Ov Hell unveils “III”, the first track taken from the release stating that “reminiscent of the impending claustrophobic dread of Impetuous Ritual or even the soul-consuming self-abrogation of Ifrinn, these three tracks have left me adrift in a hallucinatory haze of annihilation, and I can think of no other appropriate way to end 2020“ - you can check out their feature HERE.

No newcomers to game, Aberration formed in late 2019 with JH of Void Rot on guitar and vocals, DH of Suffering Hour on bass and vocals, AW of Nothingness on guitar, and EC of Tvaer on drums and threw the sum of their talents and influences into an obfuscating aural glorification of total darkness and oblivion, combining death, doom, black metal and tenebrous ambient/drone to create an imposing aural hellscape of complete light-devouring terror.

An impenetrable and abysmal sonic colossus, the fifteen-minute self-titled MLP is a churning maelstrom of oppressive and abhorrent death metal chaos that will see an official release January 15 2021 on limited edition 10” vinyl and digital formats via Sentient Ruin.

BLESSED BLACK RELEASE "LA BREA" SINGLE

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Blessed Black

La Brea

Self released

12 February 2021

Cincinnati, Ohio doom quartet Blessed Black are excited to announce the upcoming release of "La Brea," the single is being released prior to the band entering the studio to record their upcoming  full-length.  This six-minute genre-blender serves as a preview of the music Blessed Black has crafted and honed throughout 2020.

Vocalist and guitarist Joshua Murphy says, 

"We spent the majority of 2020 like most bands: lamenting the loss of live music, and writing a ton of new music. Over the course of the last year or so we have stockpiled a ton of new material, and we found a lot of new growth in our sound that we really feel represents us finally finding our sound as a band. 

With plans to record a new full length album in early spring of 2021. We wanted to record La Brea as a single so we could release something in the interim that would show what we believe represents us finally finding that sound as band. It was recorded at Threshold Studios with engineer Brian 'Bone' Thorburn, who also recorded our first EP, and we are extremely excited for our fans and friends to hear the growth we have undergone in the last year."

"La Brea" will be available on Feb 12th.

About Blessed Black

Does the world really need another doom band? Probably not, but that might be why Blessed Black should be the next band on your radar. Transcending genre barriers and infusing influences from the worlds of traditional heavy metal, post punk, grunge, while incorporating the best elements of the doom genre, Blessed Black is primed and ready to be the new name in the crowded stoner / doom landscape.

 Formed in October of 2017, what started as a few riffs and a casual hangout in a dirty Cincinnati band space quickly became a project of passion and determination amongst four friends. Frontman and guitarist Joshua Murphy brings a plethora of experience to the table as a member of the accomplished thrash metal band War Curse, complimented by the creativity of fellow guitarist and long time friend Chris Emerson, the seasoned chops of drummer Ray Bates, and powerhouse bassist Brad Bellamy.

 Blessed Black unleashed their debut album titled Beyond the Crimson Throne in January 2020. The band said of this seven-song offering, " Beyond the Crimson Throne is a representation of the journey we took together as musicians, finding our sound and learning to become a band. The result is better than we could have imagined and we hope you all enjoy it."

RAGE IN MY EYES RELEASE VIDEO FOR "WINTER DREAM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Rage In My Eyes is a technically sound heavy metal act hailing from Porto Alegre, Brazil who have a new video out for the track “Winter Dream” off the 2019 album “Ice Cell”. The video was part of the band’s participation in the Roadie Crew Online Festival - 9º Edição. 

“Ice Cell” is the first album by the band under their current name; the group also released three albums under Scelerata. They originally formed in 2002 and with the recent name change has altered their sound to incorporate traditional music from South America with prog and heavy metal. Along with the cultural infusion, Rage In My Eyes brings in accordion for a truly one of a kind listening experience. Vocalist Jonathas Pozo explains the conception of “Winter Dream”:

“We had already chosen Winter Dream as the opening track, which led us to address the lyric theme in order to present a little of the icy scenery of Ice Cell, imagining the aspect of our biological and chemical origin under the influence of the morphic field theory of Rupert Sheldrake, that is, considering the presence of the past as an important constituent of our subsequent choices, as humanity. At the same time bringing in this scenario landscapes that are common in southern Brazil, such as fog, frost, and sometimes even snow. It was also chosen because it is a more cadenced and heavy song (although also extremely technical and quite proggy), thus contrasting with the usual melodic and fast opening tracks in power metal albums, representing more accurately the “musical humor” of the band.”

Overall, the album can be summed up as ‘tight’. It has great guitar riffs, fast drum parts, intricate instrumental parts, and powerful yet melodic vocals. Sometimes it leans towards prog metal, sometimes to power metal, sometimes to folk metal, sometimes to traditional metal, sometimes to thrash metal. And it still sounds like a cohesive whole, due to how well blended it all is.

Recommended for fans of Dream Theater, Helloween, and Symphony X, Rage In My Eyes brings an icy new edge to traditional power metal. 

The video for “Winter Dream” can be watched on YouTube: https://youtu.be/OfB3faJoP54  

With something for everyone, “Ice Cell” was released on August 14, 2019 and available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon.

MOONSCAPE TO RELEASE "ENTITY, CHAPTER II: ECHOES FROM A COGNITIVE DYSTOPIA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

MOONSCAPE is a melodic death/progressive/power metal oriented project which was formed back in 2015 by Håvard Lunde, based in Gjøvik, Norway. Musical inspirations and influences include bands like EDGE OF SANITY, OPETH, ENTOMBED, AYREON, HELLOWEEN, YES, JETHRO TULL and many more. After many years of trying to find a proper musical direction in which he felt comfortable, he formed MOONSCAPE after rediscovering EDGE OF SANITY’s 1996 classic «Crimson» album, an album that stood out as the ultimate inspiration already in his adolescent years when he first became musically active. The idea of creating music that had low-tuned guitars with good melodies on top was an appealing one, and with added atmospheric and symphonic elements and variations in terms of texture and arrangement, he was better able to reach his goal; to create a large scale composition that his listeners would later on refer to as «a musical journey».

The debut album «Entity» was released on October 2nd 2017, and received great reviews from the underground press, including a very rare 100/100 score from the Italian webzine Insane Voices Labirynth. The album is a concept album that told the story of a protagonist who isolates himself deeper and deeper into his own mind, in an attempt to escape from the real world. He finds shelter in the dark shadows of his own mind, but as a result of his isolation soon he finds himself forced to battle a demon he thought was long forgotten…

«Entity» was released as a digital album as well on a limited jewel case CD edition, pressed in only 330 copies. The vinyl edition was released in July 2018, and was limited to 100 hand numbered copies.

Ever since the release of «Entity», Lunde kept writing a follow-up album, which was released on November 23rd 2020. «Entity, Chapter II: Echoes from a Cognitive Dystopia» continued the concept where the debut left off, and marks the conclusion of the story. Whereas «Entity» was fairly atmospheric and melodic death/prog oriented, «Chapter II» has a slightly more direct expression. Still it retains the progressive orientation, with more symphonic elements and higher in tempo and intensity, qualities that are often typical to the power metal genre.

The album was released digitally and on a limited 6 panel digipack CD, pressed in 200 copies only. A vinyl edition is scheduled for release in March 2020, also limited to 100 handnumbered copies only.

In addition to the two physical albums, Moonscape’s discography also counts two singles, an anniversary reissue (Name Your Price on BandCamp) and an EP, all released during 2020.

MOONSCAPE’s discography includes the following releases:

Entity

– full length album (October 2017)

The Throes of Desperation

– digital single (January 2020)

Entity

– digital reissue to commemorate the 5 year anniversary of MOONSCAPE’s formation (February 2020)

Here With You – acoustic single (May 2020)

Resurgence E.P.

– digital E.P. released as a teaser to the new album, including two cover songs (September 2020)

Entity, Chapter II: Echoes from a Cognitive Dystopia

– full length album (November 2020)

All of MOONSCAPE’s releases are available on all major streaming services, and physical products can be purchased at moonscape.bandcamp.com.
