WITNESSES TO RELEASE "THE COLLAPSE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The ever-prolific WITNESSES are proud to announce the October 31 release of expansive Doom-rock gem The Collapse. The title track is available now at witnesses-nyc.bandcamp.com/track/the-collapse

The follow up to Doom II, The Collapse sees WITNESSES extending its doom rock styles into even darker territory on this outing. Drawing influence on the melancholy down-tuned guitar harmonies of 90s British doom, but adding more traditional rock elements, soaring vocals layer on dirges to tell a story of great distress and questions unanswered.

Pre-order: witnesses-nyc.bandcamp.com/album/the-collapse

Formed in 2016 by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Greg Schwan, the goal of WITNESSES has always been and continues to be the creation of evocative music in multiple genres. All principle writing and arrangement on The Collapse was handled by Schwan, with vital contributions provided by session musicians, accompanied by art and design that complements the lyrical concepts. As of 2021, WITNESSES has explored cinematic ambient, doom metal, pop, and dark folk via six albums, an EP and four singles.

“But, obviously, a narrator cannot take account of these differences of outlook. His business is only to say: ‘This is what happened,’ when he knows that it actually did happen…”

--Albert Camus, The Plague

They’re going missing. A search party went out in the night...but only some came back. What happened to the missing?

PUTREVORE RELEASE "MIASMAL MONSTROSITY"

PRESS RELEASE:

PUTREVORE started back in May 2004 as a project band from Dave Rotten (AVULSED/ HOLYCIDE/ CHRIST DENIED) and Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER/ RIBSPREADER/ GRISLY) with the intention of creating a very heavy, dark, putrid and primitive Death Metal band totally inspired in some of the most brutal acts from the late '80s and early '90s. Nothing new, nothing original, just keeping the spirit alive!

The chosen name was DEADBREATH and it was going to be Riky, drummer in AVULSED, who was going to take care of the drumming duties. However, in late summer 2007, the band's name was changed into PUTREVORE after seeing that another Swedish band emerged later with a similar moniker, so to avoid possible mistakes, a more brutal name was chosen which suits much better the band's style.

From 2004 to 2007, Rogga was slowly writing a total of 8 songs that would embody the band's debut album, but due to the lack of time, Riky was not able to work on the drum parts and it was David Ekevarn (Davve), a friend from Rogga who accepted to record the drums as a session member. This was in November 2007 and in December, Dave Rotten added vocals in Madrid. The debut album "Morphed From Deadbreath" was finally mixed and mastered during April 2008 and released in September 2008 through Xtreem Music.

Four years passed until in early 2012 a second album was started to be recorded, this time with Brynjar Helgetun on session drums. The "Macabre Kingdom" album was initially released on 12"LP vinyl in July of the same year, followed by a CD version in late October, both on Xtreem Music. An extra song was recorded on the same sessions which would be used later on for a split 7" EP with Mexicans PUTREFACT, out in January 2014 through german label Unholy Prophecies Records.

In early 2015, a new album was started to be recorded, again with Brynjar Helgetun on drums and this time it was entirely mixed and mastered by Dave Rotten at his own Sanctuary Studios for a release in October of the same year, again by Xtreem Music. The title of this album was “Tentacles of Horror”, and again an extra song was recorded which was later used on another split 7” EP with dutch GRIM FATE out in March 2019 through Dawnbreed Records.

A new album was written and recorded during 2020, once again with Brynjar Helgetun on drums and this time the album was mixed at his own Brainjar Studios, being finished in April 2021. “Miasmal Monstrosity”, which is arguably the heaviest and most brutal album by PUTREVORE so far, will be released in October 2021 again through Xtreem Music on CD, 12” LP, Cassette & digital formats.

ASHES OF REDEMPTION RELEASE "WASHED IN BLOOD (W.I.B.)" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

ASHES OF REDEMPTION has released their new EP Washed in Blood (W.I.B)

Re-energizing the groove metal genre, ASHES OF REDEMPTION is a one-man band spearheaded by Justin Buell and based out of Detroit, MI. 

Recorded with multiple different session artists from all around the world, located in countries such as Italy, India, and Indonesia, W.I.B was written and produced by Justin Buell who also undertook guitar and bass tracking. The theme of the music is forcing yourself to persevere through some of life's darkest moments. Channelling his own experiences from his time in the Marine Corps Infantry which included two deployments to Iraq during the war, Buell pours this inspiration into his music. In particular, “By Design” was written from a war veterans’ perspective.

“Rotten” is about losing the ability to communicate with people. It deals with grief and wanting to confide in someone but being unable to, resulting in a body and mind that feel foreign. The song highlights the fact that we continue on without help despite the destruction is causes.

“By Design” deals with the physical and metal pain of war. It starts with a physical injury, which leads to questioning if it was worth it. When the physical pain heals the mental pain still remains. The song speaks of the struggles that brings and the ultimate demise in this particular case.

“W.I.B.” is about losing innocence. Once lost it refers to the grind of opening wounds and repairing them ultimately creating an offensive on others. A sort of defence mechanism. Destroy in blood or feel defeat.

“Unscathed” is a song about having to pull the plug on a loved one. It deals with the struggles a person in that position goes through and how everyone involved is touched in some way. No one leave unscathed.

NUNSLAUGHTER RELEASE "RED IS THE COLOR OF RIPPING DEATH"

PRESS RELEASE:

NUNSLAUGHTER requires no introduction!

Since 1987, these Ohio natives have prolifically perfected their own brand of Devil Metal: an evil blend of classic death metal and hardcore punk. And by "prolifically," NUNSLAUGHTER are likewise serious; their catalog of records released rivals that of Japan's Sabbat and Agathocles, both of whom the band has done splits with. Through it all, HELLS HEADBANGERS have been diehard fans, and have released countless NUNSLAUGHTER records going all the way back to the label's earliest days in 2003.

And while NUNSLAUGHTER are largely renowned for being an EP band, any chance to welcome a new full-length from them is cause for (devil metallish) celebration: at long last, Red is the Color of Ripping Death, the band's first album in seven years. Many are still mourning the loss of legendary drummer Jim Sadist (RIP), and while Red is the Color of Ripping Death is their first full-length without him playing on it, some of the 14 songs contained herein are unfinished/unrealized music that Jim and founding frontman Don of the Dead wrote years ago. Just as importantly, this album comprises material newly written with NUNSLAUGHTER's current lineup, which is arguably the band's best to date. And hearing is believing: over the course of the album's 35 minutes, it becomes immediately apparent that NUNSLAUGHTER are a really good - and really ripping - DEATH METAL band above all. Largely gone (or least sublimated) is the hardcore punk influence, and in its place is an absolutely furious onslaught of catchiness and causticness. Armed with the best-sounding production on a NUNSLAUGHTER record ever, not to mention Don of the Dead reaching new heights/depths of maniacal perversity, Red is the Color Ripping Death truly brings the band to a different level of Devil Metal.

"As Sadist says, RED IS THE COLOR OF RIPPING DEATH!!" Long live Jim Sadist, and long live NUNSLAUGHTER!

Line-up:

Don of the Dead - We

Tormentor - Spit

Wrath - At

Detonate - Christ

FFO Venom, Hellhammer, slaughter and Sarcofago

Available from August 27th (CD/DIGITAL/TAPE/VINYL) | Hells Headbangers

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist: Thomas Carlsen's Transmission

Album (EP): Redemption

Country: Norway

Genre: Traditional Heavy Metal

Release: August 20th, 2021

 

Thomas Carlsen's Transmission is a heavy metal project by Norwegian multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Thomas Carlsen.

The music is rooted in 80s-style rock and metal, inspired by bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Queensrÿche. It is a solo project, where Carlsen is the sole songwriter and instrumentalist.

On August 20, 2021, his debut EP "Redemption" was released on all streaming platforms, and in limited physical formats.

It contains four original tracks, and a cover version of Iron Maiden's 1983 classic, "Still Life". The music was recorded at Carlsen's home studio, and some of the compositions date back almost ten years.

For the EP, Carlsen recruited fellow Norwegian Marius Danielsen, from the power metal band Legend of Valley Doom, to record vocals, as well as mixing and mastering duties. The result is a collection of hard-hitting, head-banging heavy metal tunes which hearken back to the glory of the Mid-80s scene.

2. Redemption

3. Fallen from Grace

4. Still Life

After releasing critically acclaimed debut album "A Shadow of All Things Broken" in February this year, the Bergen old school thrashers will release a new single and video today! The song is called "American Carnage" and is a fast thrasher with lyrics about the chaos in the US in the last years, leading up to the storming of the Capitol.

In 2018 two of the original band members, Yngve and Finn, restarted the band, recorded three of the old songs together with seven new ones and released their debut album in 2021.

THE MALEDICT RELEASE "REMEMBRANCE"

PRESS RELEASE:

After one EP, one single and almost six years of agonizing quiet, The Maledict will unleash its second full-length studio album: REMEMBRANCE.

Across seven brand new cuts and one reworked classic, Remembrance is a heartfelt exploration into the experience of nostalgia, and the two elements that comprise the word: nóstos and álgos, the agony and longing to return home.

Through its twists and turns from the melodic and epic opener, to the chaotic two-part suite of THE MALEDICT and the reworked version of POROUS, giving an old live staple a well-deserved new home on a full-length, the album deals with the realizations that come with maturity – that the blissful innocence of childhood is brought only by the hecatomb suffered voluntarily by every parent, to shield their young from staring down the same abyss they face every day.

Where our debut LP, DREAD, held its pain inside and lashed out in flashes of anger and fear, REMEMBRANCE is about the acceptance of pain and letting it out in croons and wails. The music is more melodic and more nakedly emotional – but no less heavy for it.

Written across the five years, recorded and mixed in 2019 through 2020, REMEMBRANCE continues our tradition of the almost-total DIY approach to album production, with thanks to Chris Rogers for drum engineering and all other components of the album being 100% self-produced.

This effort also marks the first recorded contributions from our new member Cameron Tilley, who officially joins as a keyboardist but contributed lead guitar parts to the album in lieu of Stuart Henry, who still remains a member of the band.

REMEMBRANCE releases on 29 August 2021 in digital and streaming formats, as well as an extremely limited run of physical copies on CD (50 copies). Both physical and digital releases of the album, available only from our Bandcamp page, will contain original full-color illustrations and liner notes.

To finally be able to share this long-overdue opus after so many years of waiting, is an elating sensation, and we are beyond thrilled to see what you think of it.

------

The Maledict is a death/doom band that formed in rural Victoria, Australia, in 2012. Originally conceived as a small-scale death metal project between guitarist/vocalist and principal songwriter Ian McLean and bassist Stuart McCarthy, over time the initial straight death metal approach continued to mutate, inheriting an increasing number of gothic, orchestral and doom metal influences.

The Maledict's musical identity was fully realized with the release of their self-produced debut studio album 'Dread' in 2015, which was met with critical acclaim in the independent metal blogosphere.

The band released the single 'Imperilled' in 2017 and followed in 2019 with 'Return to Gehenna', a re-recording of most of the songs from its inaugural demo 'Salvation in Yielding' from 2013 and a tribute to its death metal roots.

In 2020, Cameron Tilley joined the band as a keyboardist, but also temporarily filled in for lead guitarist Stuart Henry for some live shows.

With the release of its second full-length, 'Remembrance', the band continues its musical evolution, introducing more experimental, progressive and melodic elements to its morose blend of death and doom.

Tracklist:

1. Remembrance [08:50]

2. Dolor Nil Finis [09:58]

3. Forever Adrift [07:13]

4. The Maledict I [09:31]

5. The Maledict II [04:57]

6. Porous [09:11]

7. Skies of Static [06:37]

8. The River Ophidian [12:29]

ALPHA BOÖTIS RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "SERPENS NEBULA"

PRESS RELEASE.

Science fiction fueled band  ALPHA BOÖTIS have released their single "Serpens Nebula" over at Next Mosh. The song is from the band's upcoming release Jump to Alpha Bootis which is out on September 24th.

The band commented “Originally written for a horror-themed composition contest around Halloween 2017, Serpens Nebula is our spookiest and darkest song to date. To achieve this dark sound, we channeled DOOM, John Carpenter and Pokemon Red/Green’s Lavender Town theme in our sound design and composition. I took the opportunity to include baritone guitar, tuned to G, to make the riffs extra gnarly. Of course, it’s still an Alpha Boötis song, so there are still disco beats and optimistic melodies sprinkled here and there.”

I HELVETE RELEASE COVER OF BATHORY´S "TWILIGHT OF THE GODS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish extreme metal band i Helvete has released a cover song of legendary Bathory’s "Twilight of the Gods".

Listen to "Twilight of the Gods" (Bathory Cover) at this location https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZlxqyv9rqU

"Twilight of the Gods" is the title track from the 1991 album that turned 30 years in June. Bathory was known mostly for being a one-man band, formed by Thomas “Quorthon” Forsberg. Their career ended in 2004 for Quorthon’s death by a heart attack.

i Helvete filmed a music video of the cover from their studio sessions. i Helvete’s frontman Aleksi Mäkelä comments:

“Bathory has been one of the big influences for me in my youth. Especially these band's epic Viking albums have an atmosphere that unfortunately few bands manage to achieve. The 11-minute Twilight of the Gods was a pretty ambitious song to start recording, but as I wrote the song by ear, I found myself wondering many times how it didn’t start to get boring even after a hundred listens. It was not our intention to embark on any major changes or artist liberties. We mainly wanted to update the sound of this masterpiece for this millennium. I think we managed it very well.”

i Helvete was founded in Seinäjoki in 2018. The band has previously released a double single Pimeyden Ytimessä / Umpikuja. The debut release received praise from the music media for being an original, well-produced and interesting release.

More material is coming soon. They will release their debut album SINISTEN PUIDEN NIITTY at the end of the year.

ANOMALY RELEASE NEW SINGLE "THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE"

PRESS RELEASE:

U.S. Death Metal quintet ANOMALY have released new single "The Observable Universe," a track from forthcoming full-length debut album Planet Storm. The song is available on YouTube (courtesy of The Circle Pit) and Bandcamp.

ANOMALY will self-release Planet Storm on September 17. The album combines re-recorded, remastered versions of three songs (and intro) from 2019's Planet Storm EP with five new tracks. The result is a cosmic. crushing, and cohesive Death Metal tour de force!

Pre-order Planet Storm:

anomalymke.bandcamp.com/album/planet-storm

The title track and the re-recorded "Lurking in the Bootes Void" are streaming now on Bandcamp!

Floating through the vastness of the universe, but localized in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ANOMALY represent the cold, yet rugged battle of mankind and meaning. Each song a microcosm of the vast complexities of the cosmos, blistering sounds present an all too human mosaic of musical material giving interpretation to the mystery and terror of everything unknown. Like traversing the corridors of a space-bound craft, each instrument is crucial in holding together songs that stand the test of aeons.

The drums and bass provide a foundation as firm and dependable as the hull of a ship carrying precious cargo across lightyears. The captivating keyboards represent a bio-mechanical blend of natural sensibility and speculation in a future mode - the decorum of the craft. While the guitars, the passenger on board, are filled with textures that turn the ear toward a human disenfranchised from the unruly present - a hard, aggressive shell that reveals brilliant, flawed, and yearning character when necessary. Not unlike space and time, ANOMALY suggests a picture of complexity beyond our understanding and the frustration that comes with knowing everything and nothing all at once

Track Listing:

1 Zero Gravity

2 A Gift from Theia

3 Lurking in the Bootes Void

4 Caught in the Ergosphere

5 Antares

OSYRON RELEASE VIDEO FOR "RAZOR´S WIND"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

It's been a very busy summer for Canadian metal band Osyron. They performed at Western Canada's decibel-breaking metal fest Loud As Hell, were nominated for a Calgary YYC Music Award for Metal Recording of the Year for their 2020 album "Foundations" and they have peaked the Canadian College Radio Loud Charts at #2 during July 2021 for their latest record and reissue of "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition".

Continuing to support the promotion of "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition" that was released earlier this spring on May 14th, Osyron is sharing their latest music video for the song "Razor's Wind", which is one of three rewritten and rearranged bonus tracks on the reissue.

The new music video for "Razor's Wind" was directed and edited by Osyron guitarist Krzysztof Stalmach.

The band explains the track in their own words:

"This song was originally a folk metal opus, telling the tale of how the reluctant hero of the Kingsbane story was finally answering the call to adventure; to leave his safe shores and journey into the unknown. The song muses about all his coming struggles; from within and without.

Being that the setting the original painted was this seafaring epic, it translated so well (along with the beautiful Celtic inspired melodies) into this sea shanty-esque retelling of the original song."

Watch and listen to "Razor's Wind" at https://youtu.be/9_hnsepBW9Q 

In addition to Osyron revealing the new music video today, they will also be interacting with fans later tonight on a Twitch stream playing Band Room Blitz together with the game designer Andrew Baldock. 

Fans can watch and interact with the band members via chat as they talk about the game, Loud as Hell Festival and Kingsbane.

Here are the details:

Stream is 8pm/20:00 MT on August 24th.

The channel is Brian's Republic - mostly gaming and some music

Osyron's latest release "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition" features all original recordings plus bonus tracks remixed by bassist Tyler Corbett and remastered by drummer Cody Anstey. The decision to re-release the record along with three rewritten and rearranged bonus tracks for Viper Queen, Griefmaker and Razor's Wind (Acoustic) with current drummer Cody Anstey (original recordings were with former drummer Trevor Cobb) was an easy one after the great reception the band received from new fans for their 2020 album "Foundations".

“Doing a re-release was never on our radar before, and definitely not something we previously considered for such a long and fleshed out album. However,  we felt that this album could do with a proper release in our target markets, and we had lots of time over the pandemic to try and breathe some new life into it. As such, we set out to remix and re-master the whole album, along with re-recording 3 songs in re-arranged states as singles. These three songs were picked based on their reception live, our personal connection to them, or for the amount of potential we saw in re-arranging them. We’re super excited to get all these songs out for you in a higher quality mix, but we’re easily most excited to get you to hear these new takes on some of our “classics”. "

The storyline for "Kingsbane" is about a hero who must reluctantly take up arms against a tyrant king in a neighbouring land. Along the way, he faces many inward, and outward challenges he must overcome to achieve his goal. Through it all, the hero learns a valuable lesson that even though they are duty-bound to stop this great evil, this great evil is also in the eye of the beholder. They discover that the weight of absolute power has the potential to corrupt absolutely - maybe not all villains are as one-dimensional as they seem from the outset.

Osyron's "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition" is recommended for fans of Nightwish, Dream Theater, and Wintersun.

RAVEN BLACK NIGHT RELEASE "RUN WITH THE RAVEN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

If you like sounds that are raw and harsh but still don't overshadow the melodic and catchy wing, then the heavy/doom metal of the Australians Raven Black Night is for you!

At a pace that divides between mind-blowing heavy metal and damaging doom metal, the twelve tracks of "Run with the Raven" breathe underground through every pore with gritty production, reminiscent of Saint Vitus, that becomes irrevocably intoxicating - it's the sincerity that dominates. In addition, you can count on many reminiscences of all-time idols such as guitarist Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), some thicker distortions that once gave rise to stoner rock, and a surprising mix between traditional hard rock and punk rock energy. Between peaks and valleys, Raven Black Night creates dark journeys with a certain romanticized and always doomed sense, an environment in which we will walk side-by-side with ancient world warriors, battles, queens and princesses, and there is also room for metaphors related to real life.

"Run with the Raven" began in 2013 after the release of "Barbarian Winter" by Metal Blade», the band reveals. «We started improvising riffs and song ideas. We wanted to make a release that was sonorously direct and not too compressed, with songs that you can sing and hum along to, like older hard rock and metal bands that exhibit versatility within the style. We also wanted to increase our presence in Europe after our appearances in Greece (Up the Hammers Festival) and Germany, and let people know that we are still here. You can expect an album full of honesty and hard rock that comes from the heart with a good dose of heavy metal in an old-school approach and with attention paid to songwriting.»

«With rock, metal and doom, expect catchy hooks with rawness and beauty mixed in», the group adds. «In the end, as the great Lemmy says, it's all rock and roll!»

For fans of Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Manilla Road, and Saint Vitus.

MARTORN RELEASE "MARTORN" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

MARTORN

Martorn EP

[July 2nd 2021]

[Melodic Black Metal]

[Entelodon Records]

Tracklist:

1. Overcome

2. Martorn Rising

3. Vattenfallets Brus

4. Hell of Fire

5. Awaken

As a melodic black/epic death metal band with international members, Martorn stands for admiration, loyalty, and healing. The lyrics follow suit with symbolic imagery of strenuous growth, ephemeral beauty, and inevitable decay.

Lead singer/keyboardist/lyricist Emma Michaelsen (The Rhythm Coffin) and guitarist/bassist Art Bertik (Despite Loyalty, Strangled By Strangulation, Groamville) are a dynamic duo. Together, they create melodic death metal with cryptic lyrics and haunting melodies. Guest musicians featured on tracks include drummer Ben Durfee (Dysphotic, Coma Recovery, Cassovita) and Grammy Award-winning violinist, Alyson Montez.

As Michaelsen hails from Stockholm, Sweden, and Bertik hails from Los Angeles, U.S.A., they literally had to cross oceans to make their music happen. With help from Entelodon Records, The Decibel Foundry recording studio and Rogue Planet Mastering, Martorn already has 3 singles and an EP. Each song explores the duality of resilience and despair. The music is bittersweet, like Pandora’s box, full of darkness, yet redeemed by hope. But even the hopefulness is tempered by morbidity, because it’s only the potential for progress, not a guarantee of it. The growls and gutterals are a dead giveaway for deep-rooted anger and frustration.

Michaelsen and Bertik met in 2015 after her live performance with The Rhythm Coffin in Hollywood, California. They have been collaborating on creating music together in between all their other projects, ever since. Their songs embody the epic atmosphere of black metal, the raw rage of death metal, and the emotional sorrow of melodic metal. Their music exemplifies the paradox of resilience and adversity. Martorn is deep, heavy, melancholy music, of delicate introspection and ironclad willpower.
