A new era, the third if you'd like, is here.

Ten years ago, Djevel burst into the Black Metal scene with the debut "Dødssanger". With a fierce, raw energy and a breathtaking, ominous melodic touch, the trademark sound of the band had been placed.

Now ten years into the story, the band have kept the sound and spirit, but evolved through three stages of new musicians being added to the signature riffs of main composer Ciekals, developing the music to new heights, while still maintaining the sonic outlet that identifies Djevel.

So here we enter the third era, where Ciekals and Faust (ex-Emperor, Blood Tsunami) have been joined by new vocalist/bassist Kvitrim (Vemod). This new constellation of the band have built the bands 7th album "Tanker Som Rir Natten", an album surpassing all what they've done before, and opening some new ideas within  both production and composition. The raw feeling is still intact, and the acoustic elements have returned. But the eerie, haunting atmosphere have grown stronger, making it the most varied output from the band thus far.

"Tanker Som Rir Natten" will be unleashed for the public in spring 2021.

VALLENDUSK RELEASE "HERALDS OF STRIFE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Vallendusk is a melodic/ Epic Black Metal band hailing from Jakarta, Indonesia. The band was formed in 2011 and consists of vocalist & lyricist Rizky (ex-Valefor), lead guitarist/main songwriter Valendino Mithos (ex- Bloody Gore, ex- Funeral Inception), rhythm guitarist/songwriter Danang Sugianto (ex-Valefor) and drummer Derrick Prawira (FromHell, Proceus).

The band cites the mid-90s wave of Black Metal, Melodic Death Metal and doom as their main source of inspiration, both musically and aesthetically. They also draw influences from classical, ambient, martial hymns and folk music of all kinds.

Since Indonesia is still considered by many to be the most low-key country and geographically disadvantaged on the global Black Metal map, as anyone can imagine, there aren't many (maybe any?) independent metal record labels in their home country that market/distribute their releases overseas. Therefore, shortly after completing their self-titled debut EP in late 2011, the band realized how important it was to sign with a well-known label in the genre, as it would help them so much in making people aware of who they are and what they do. The band was actively self-promoting their music during this time, which led to a deal with the Chinese label Pest Productions.

In 2012, the EP was released and received good responses from listeners and critics alike. A year later, the critically acclaimed debut album "Black Clouds Gathering" was released, leading to huge feedback and interest from all over the world. Two years after the highly acclaimed "Black Clouds Gathering" the band signed a contract with Northern Silence Productions. The band's second album "Homeward Path" was then released in June 2015, delivering a more complex and dynamic album that still retains soul and character like its predecessors. It's about daring to push things a little further than people expect without losing yourself.

It has always seen the nature of the band to take things a step further with each album. They want to see every album as an individual point of musical evolution, a link in a chain that hopefully leads to new ideas later on. Thus, the third album “Fortress of Primal Grace” turned out as the band’s strongest output so far. Listening to this 60 minutes-album felt like running ten kilometers but with the excitement of pure joy. There are many remarkable passages on the album which lift the songs to a completely different level. All the riffs and melodies are flowing, extrapolated from each other, building and releasing their energy, moving through ups and downs with smooth joints & breaks in between, and climaxing several times.

With the latest, their 4th album, entitled "Heralds Of Strife", Vallendusk once again created a triumphant and uplifting album that is more optimistic in approach and delivery than your average Black Metal release. The songs are classic-styled Melodic Black Metal, but with a modern, somewhat brighter sheen than normal, allowing the band to bring in their own personality and individuality, distinct from so many others.

The first press of the CD comes as Collector’s Edition in digipack with 8-page booklet, limited to 1000 copies. The cassette tape is limited to 100 copies.

Rizky – Vocals, Lyrics

DEATH ON FIRE RELEASE "SIX FOOT BOX"

PRESS RELEASE:

Hailing from Indiana, Death On Fire push the boundaries of the death metal genre by taking inspiration from a wide variety of sounds and compositional styles. Originally formed in 2016 by frontman Tim Kenefic, the project soon diverged from its initial intentions and began thriving in the underground metal scene with live performances. To date, Death On Fire have opened for the likes of Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals and Obituary.

Following the release of their 2019 single ‘Killing Time’, and the 2020 LP release ‘Ghost Songs’, Summer 2021 sees the next chapter in their discography with the upcoming release of ‘Six Foot Box’. The three track EP delivers an overall dark, heavy mood with each song embodying a unique aspect of their progressive sound. The title track cultivates a haunting atmosphere with a slow tempo, alluring dissonant lead guitar melody and raw emotional vocals. There is a distinctive Gothic twist as the chorus soars with a mixture of contrapuntal melodies exploring light and dark tones. By contrasting major elements with the minor tonality, the sound gains an uncanny edge. It’s a compositional technique that throws the listener by challenging what feels natural in the context of the sound. ‘A Hell of Our Own Design’ deviates in style to deliver explosive energy, intricate leads and heavy distortion. Before ‘Begging for Air’ dramatically unfolds with droning guitars and intricate riffs. This track is intense, distorted and a little disorientating; it experiments with progressive techniques in their composition to produce an apt sound for the disturbing theme.

Death On Fire venture into unconventional soundscapes to create something that is raw and haunting. The dark deathly themes that run through their music are elevated and the dynamics of their sound deliver a theatrical, aural experience.
