FOREVER AUTUMN RELEASE "HAIL THE FOREST DARK"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Forever Autumn

Hail the Forest Dark

3 September 2021

Avant-Garde entity Forever Autumn will be releasing their 4th masterpiece Hail the Forest Dark on September 3rd 2021. The album features a guest appearance from Aaron Stainthorpe of the legendary doom band My Dying Bride.

Mastermind Autumn Ni Dubhghail comments on the album: “This work is intended as a temporary departure from traditional Forever Autumn. It is a way to highlight the Black and Doom so underlyingly present in all Forever Autumn work. This is not a new direction, but an artistic expression. Forever Autumn remains dedicated to the vehicles of Acoustic Doom, Blackened Death Folk, et alia.  Thank you for your continued support.” 

Forever Autumn’s humble genius Autumn Ni Dubhghail abandons any and all prenotions of tradition. Intertwining elements from a vast swath of genres, this acoustic doom outfit is inspired by ancient Celtic, Slavic, and other European folk music, Forever Autumn masterfully crafts a raw sound that breaks down any generic barriers or borders.

Like seedlings scattered throughout the forest by the mere forces of nature, Forever Autumn’s imaginative sound grows with an organic sense of whimsy, cultivated within the vast influences of our megacosm. 

Ni Dubhghaill began composing Forever Autumn's haunting music in 2000 and unleashed the band's self-titled debut in 2001. Since then, Forever Autumn released seven more studio offerings and has appeared on numerous compilations. Ni Dubhghaill plays guitar, balalaika, bodhran, doom drum, rattle, and cello across Forever Autumn's recordings, in addition to contributing a wide breadth of vocal expression that ranges from melodic singing to screams, howls, and chants. Cellist Jon McGrath joined Forever Autumn in 2008 and has been a stalwart complement ever since; together, he and Ni Dubhghaill create music that is, as Doom-Metal.com put it, "elegant in its simplicity, fragile in its beauty."

Forever Autumn's new recording "Hail the Forest Dark"  continues the band's enchanted musical tradition. The EP puts forth an elegance that cannot be matched or rivaled by any musical contemporary, taking fans on an adventure that is rife with excitement, drama, and unbridled craftsmanship.

ECLIPSER RELEASE "PAGES" EP + NEW TRACK "TO NEVER WAKE AGAIN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Eclipser’s “Pages” is a dark and brooding sojourn through dissonant soundscapes that write with negativity and melody. The EP primarily resides in the black metal realm however, Eclipser also writes using techniques that are found in death metal, and even a bit of grindcore and maintain a formulaic style. According to guitarist/vocalist Ryan Menard, he personally strives to master what he does rather than trying to do it all. 

Today, the band presents their first single from “Pages”. Entitled “To Never Wake Again”, the track is two and half minutes into the depths of uncertainty while enjoying both a pristine and bludgeoning experience of extreme metal.

"To Never Wake Again depicts the life-denying voice of reason that manifests internally when one’s existence is reduced to meaningless suffering. A depressive mentality that justifies taking the ultimate easy way out, offering the afflicted the suggestion of a painless solution. This song is the lowest point of the record, with punishing riffs and an overall negative atmosphere that builds towards a soulful and cathartic guitar solo. In short, we’re bringing the bad vibes." adds Menard.

“To Never Wake Again” can be heard via its premiere on TheCirclePit YouTube channel HERE.

“Pages” is harsh and succinct, the five tracks make up for a total runtime of under 15 minutes, it was produced by Eclipser; mixed by Mike Raymond of Reverence Audio, and mastered by Topon Das (Fuck The Facts) at Apartment 2 Recording. The EP artwork was done by Misanthropic-Art. It is the fourth release from the band following Pathos (2019), Promo (2018), and the 2017 Demo.

Eclipser was founded in 2017 by Ryan Menard (guitars/vocals) and Christopher Joyal (drums), they are recommended for fans of Ulcerate, and Deathspell Omega.

The entire EP releases on May 28, 2021.

HAISSEM RELEASE "PHILOSOFIEND"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Co-release Satanath Records with Exhumed Records: new album "Philosofiend" of Ukrainian melodic black/death metal band Haissem is out on March 27th, 2021!

HAISSEM was formed in 2014, the debut album was released in 2016. Haissem is a one-man band of Andrey V. Tollock, sometimes session musicians help during the recording. The team currently has 6 releases. A year has passed since the release of Haissem's latest album to date, "Kuhaghan Tyyn", and now the mastermind of the project, Andrey Tollock, is ready to please us with another portion of melodic black, richly flavored with melodic death and even a little thrash metal. Andrey says that when he'd created new material, he focused on the aggressiveness and sharpness of the tracks, to prevent the possibility of repeating the sound of the predecessor of "Philosofiend", where a very significant emphasis was placed on the atmosphere in the sound through a large number of synthesizer parts and the involvement of session musicians. As a result, "Philosofiend" turned out to be sharp and aggressive, but this did not affect the quality of the material and performance in any way. On this release, Haissem will stand before the audience in a new, but at the same time characteristic and recognizable appearance. It is strongly recommended for fans of early In Flames, Old Man's Child and fans of aggressive and melodic music in general. Recorded, mixed & mastered at Vetkin Records Studio. Session backing vocals by Adam Seven. Artwork by Mary Kankava (Hellcatfairyart). Layout by Aleksey Satanath.

Line-up:

Andrey V. Tollock - everything
