IN ASYMMETRY TO RELEASE "ASHES OF DEAD WORLDS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Bringing together breathtaking ability and shocking savagery, In Asymmetry take technical brutal death metal to the limits. Uniting current and ex-members of Deeds Of Flesh, The Faceless, Goratory and Inanimate Existence this band is a formidable unit. Following up their acclaimed 2019 demo, Edge Of Divergence, In Asymmetry are now ready to unleash their staggering debut album – Ashes Of Dead Worlds.

The initial impact of Ashes Of Dead Worlds is utterly overwhelming; a bewildering maelstrom of intricately interwoven notes delivered at terrifying velocity and with murderous intent. The gut ripping roar of Taylor Wientjes explodes from the vortex of riffs and blast beats, tearing at your flesh as your sanity collapses in ruins. Yet within this bestial cacophony a clinical intelligence is at work – each instrument working with incredible precision, weaving around each other, locking smoothly together, separating, rearranging, detonating...perfect order within perfect chaos. Songs like ‘Whom Prey On The Weak’, ‘Hatred Towards The Holy Creature’ and ‘In My Own Image And Likeness’ are works of relentless, infernal art. Ashes Of Dead Worlds is rampant and ruthless from start to finish.

With the dedicated support of the world’s premiere extreme music label, Comatose Music, behind them, In Asymmetry are ready to take on all comers. This band are true heavyweights of the technical brutal death metal sub genre and few will even come close to matching their unholy marriage of dexterity and devastation. May 7th is the date decreed for this labyrinthine monstrosity to be uncaged - and for the pretenders to the throne to start running.

LABORED BREATH TO RELEASE "DYSPNEA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

We’re proud to announce the release of emerging USBM entity Labored Breath’s towering debut album "Dyspnea", to be released in early April on LP, MC, and digital formats.

Thirty six minutes of soul-destroying evolved black metal, "Dyspnea" is the towering debut offering from this new Oakland CA-based one-man black metal entity, a project conceived as unapologetic devotion to the moment of reckoning of one's ultimate finality, and as a conceptual aural evisceration of mankind's minuscule and pathetic existence within the blink of an eye of an infinite, eternal void. The literal medical definition of gasping for air as the final breath appears at the horizon, and of finite stubborn existence attempting to subvert the infinity and inevitability of death, "Dyspnea" is a harrowing trip deep inside humanity's biggest fears and its all-encompassing insignificance. It is the moment of realization and the crippling instance within one’s existence in which the immensity and omnipotence of death pierces the final and most armored under layers of consciousness and denial and stares at the human being straight in the eye to make it kneel in the shadow of total unavoidability. Bridging the spellbinding atmospherics and evocative power of Icelandic black metal (Sinmara, Carpe Noctem, Misþyrming, Svartidauði) with the crushing violence and brute antagonism of French black metal (Aosoth, Drastus, Antaeus), Labored Breath has created an intimidating and majestic black metal crucible that shape-shifts and morphs in perpetual motion, stirring an immense sinister aural maelstrom of tenebrous surrealism and masterful sonic destruction as ultimate and supreme homage to the omnipotence and splendor of our endless Destroyer.

Leading up the album’s release, the track “Belie” has been unveiled exclusively by Invisible Oranges, with the notorious metal blog asserting that “Dyspnea forges out on a different axis to create a belligerent and intense trail to lesser-tread territory in black metal“ - you can read the full feature and check out the track HERE.

The brainchild of SF Bay Area-based solo musician JK, Labored Breath is the artist's sonic interpretation of the slow and inexorable claiming of death. The idea and concept for the project came to into JK’s mind during the time of self-seclusion imposed by the COVID pandemic, and the times of uncertainty, pessimism, fear, and death which ensued from it worldwide. As a skilled and highly proficient multi instrumentalist, the obligate isolation and lack of opportunities to make music with other people pushed JK to finally pursue a long planned and fully self-exectued solo project with no other instrumentalists involved. It is not purely coincidental that the album is titled “Dyspnea", like the condition which plagues people with difficulty breathing, as the COVID pandemic primarily resulted in widespread respiratory symptoms worldwide, as such the project is a true snapshot of the artist’s reality and of its most harrowing and demoralizing possible outcomes and developments. It is a reflection on death in a time in which death entered everyone’s consciousness and every day reality. It is the onset of reckoning, the moment in which the end comes into sight for the first time in a person's life. It is the total and unmistakeable first manifestation of death to the living, and Labored Breath explores this concept sonically via the implacable and merciless life-devourment of black metal. Aside from the aforementioned French black metal and Icelandic black metal, Labored Breath remains a purely USBM-bred entity with an almost encyclopedic yet defiant approach to the craft, and a strong penchant for unpredictability and unorthodoxy. Bands like Nightbringer, Ruins if Beverast, Blut Aus Nord, as well as certain strains of European funeral doom and death metal are also skillfully referenced or hinted at in the songwriting without ever becoming overly obvious structural identifiers, leaving the project perpetually shrouded in a profound sense of shapeshifting ambiguity.

"Dyspnea"  is officially scheduled for an April 2 2021 release date on LP, MC, and digital, and can now be pre-ordered in all formats from our shop or Bandcamp.

Decibel comments on today's premiere

"Melodic death metal unit Aversed are taking the next step in their sonic journey with the release of new album Impermanent, which sees the band begin to move away from their melodic death metal roots to embrace elements of progressive and orchestral metal. Anchored by strong musicianship, Impermanent, streaming below, is an exciting direction for the band."

About The Release

Boston, Massachusetts-based progressive melodic death metallers Aversed are back after its members spent the last few years focusing primarily on their other projects and high-profile live opportunities.

The band's debut album, Impermanent, is due out on March 19, 2021.

With the release of Impermanent, Aversed presents a hard-to-categorize metal experience cultivated of unprecedented beauty and torment. The third release following 2011’s self-titled EP and 2016’s Renewal EP, Impermanent marks a turning point for the New England scene veterans as they pivot from melodic death metal towards a nuanced balance of blackened and orchestral melodic metal. Impermanent illustrates Aversed’s unique approach to songwriting with nine diverse compositions full of catchy hooks and vast melodies.

Aversed - Impermanent will appeal to fans of bands that have influenced the release which includes Arch Enemy, Soilwork, Nightwish, Allegaeon, Ne Obliviscaris, The Gathering, In Flames, and many more!

MURKOCET: a substance directly attributed to the aggressive and often times violent actions of its user; metaphorically symbolizing their music.

MURKOCET is an American heavy metal band based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Formed in 2013, the band's debut album Digging Mercy's Grave was released on January 14, 2017. The album consists of eleven tracks, two of which have been aired on Phoenix's 98KUPD "Into The Pit" and another that was chosen by indie horror film director, Bob Clark of Reel Bloody Films to be the title track of his movie, 'Strip Club Massacre.' Since their debut, the band has ventured out on multiple North American tours rocking stages in New Mexico, Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, throughout Southern California and The Viper Room in LA. They have shared the stage with headlining acts such as Attila, Exodus, Crowbar, The Browning and more. With a rapidly growing fanbase, the metal quartet landed themselves a spot in Phoenix New Times' article for "13 Best Metal Bands In Metro Phoenix" on August 29, 2017.

Heavily influenced by Lamb of God, Slipknot, and Hatebreed, just to name a few, MURKOCET combines their own musical talents to deliver a highly aggressive and unrelenting sound with a catchy melodic groove. The band's main objective has always been to write material that would not only be exciting musically, but have a strong emphasis on crowd involvement. Their captivating live performance and high energy stage presence prescribes every audience a heavy dose.
