MADROST RE-RELEASE "MALEFICENT" ALBUM

 

PRESS RELEASE:

NoLifeTilMetal Records is proud to announce the CD and vinyl re-issue of 2012 debut album Maleficent from Southern California progressive thrashers Madrost. The remastered album will be released on May 28. Check out track "Zombie Grinder" at the following location: youtu.be/FlvowjQdEbM

Both the vinyl and CD re-issues were remastered by Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound). The CD will feature an expanded booklet and an exclusive bonus track ("Perceptual Constancy"). This vinyl will be limited to only 100 copies on 180g black vinyl. The CD is a jewel case edition with 8-page booklet, limited to a 300-piece pressing.

Pre-orders are available now at this location. The first 50 pre-orders will receive a limited edition reflective Madrost sticker.

Founded in the summer of 2007, Madrost is a progressive death thrash act focused on precision songwriting and an energetic diverse approach to their sound. Influenced by the likes of Metal Church, Death, ELP, Believer, Coroner, Mekong Delta and Iron Maiden, the band has transformed from a straight-forward thrash/death style to incorporating a wide range of other instruments and time signatures into their own unique sound and style. Madrost signed with NoLifeTilMetal Records in 2020 and released their fourth album, the progressive thrash masterpiece Charring The Rotting Earth.

Maleficent was initially released in 2012 as an independent CD-R release and has been out of print and out of circulation for years. Unlike the band's more recent releases, Maleficent is a more straight-forward thrash/death metal album. The album featured furious riffs, blistering speed, shredding guitar solos and vicious, biting vocals.

THE BEAST OF NOD RELEASE "MULTIVERSAL" + PLAYTHROUGH VIDEO

PRESS RELEASE:

After releasing their sophomore album, Multiversal on March 29th Intergalactic Death Metal faction The Beast of Nod is eager to keep the momentum going with the launch of a guitar playthrough video for "Guardians of the Multiverse."

*You can check out the playthrough video HERE

About The Release/About The Band

The universe’s favorite “intergalactic death metal” entity The Beast of Nod is back with another sci-fi odyssey steeped in tongue-in-cheek absurdity entitled Multiversal. Multiversal is set for release on Earth and other worlds on March 29th. 

Active since 2015, the (now relocated to) San Francisco Bay Area, California-based technical/progressive death metal project has released two EP’s, a full-length, one compilation release, and a collaborative chiptunes release prior to the upcoming release of Multiversal. The Beast of Nod came out of nowhere and blew the whole world away upon the release of Vampira: Disciple of Chaos in May of 2018. Achieving a level of newfound praise, a massively growing fanbase, and amazing coverage and reviews worldwide on a scale that doesn’t happen all that often for a purely independent group based just on the merits of the music alone.

Now in 2021, The Beast of Nod takes a galactic leap forward for humankind and non-humankind alike with the impending launch of Multiversal. Never one to be lacking in ambition, the album furthers the intense storytelling lore behind the band’s fictional “The Land of Nod” sci-fi universe while expanding the full scope of what Multiversal has to offer with ambitious release plan ideas that will extend far beyond its initial release date. As usual, the group offers up an intense take on progressive/technical death metal with a strong emphasis on massive grooves and catchy melodies.

Jaw-dropping guest spots from musicians such as Joe Satriani, Michael Angelo Batio, Abiotic guitarist John Matos, Wormhole guitarist Sanjay Kumar, Equipoise guitarist Nick Padovani, and Bleak Flesh guitarist Matias Quiroz are simply icing on the cake of an album overloaded in talent as is by the group’s core members.

The Beast of Nod - Multiversal is strongly recommended for fans of Dethklok, Gojira, Slugdge, Inferi, Rings of Saturn, Abiotic, The Faceless, Marvel Comics & DC Comics, Physics, Astronomy, and Natural History.

MARK DATTER RELEASE "DEATHSWING"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist: Mark Datter

Album: Deathswing

Country: Slovenia

Genre: Country, grunge, metal, rock and folk

Release: June 16th

Mark Datter is a solo cover project of Matej Voglar (Snøgg, Carnifliate, The Stroj, s0n667, Mr. Van Punk, De Viant DJ (Sikk.ru), ex-Krvava Rosa, ex-Entheogen). Matej started using this alias long time ago on different singer/songwriter open mic nights, jams and solo performances playing covers of different genres ranging from country, grunge, metal, rock and folk. As Mark Datter he is also playing guitar and sings in a punk cover band Mr. Van Punk. Their specialty is that they travel around in a van and are instantly ready for a performance. The set up takes about two minutes, they play for about 15 minutes and in two minutes they are ready to move on. They have been quite an attraction in their hometown of Velenje. 

But let's get back to Mark's solo work. During the first covid-19 quarantine in march-may 2020 Mark rearranged a couple of songs by his death metal/grindcore band Carnifliate in a swing fashion. The melos of what became reminds heavily of the band Morphine, which Mark adores and have performed their stuff many times. The original were written in the era when Matej was not yet in Carnifliate, what helped in that manner that he did not cover his own songs, yet songs of his friends that he was very familiar with and sure that he will get a confirmation for releasing the album, where many authors might not be pleased if someone would take their songs and lyrics out of a context. The album "Deathswing" includes five songs from Carnifliate's first album "Slaughtelust" and one from their sophomore album "Disgusting Festivities". It was recorded in Kunigunda studio Velenje by Rok Kugonič who also worked on Carnifliate's and Snøgg's albums in the second half of 2020.
