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

Mauricio Castro - Guitars

Jacob Wilschrey - Bass

Claudio Tapia - Drums

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.
