APOTHEUS RELEASE VIDEO FOR "STARING THE ABYSS"

PRESS RELEASE:

Portuguese melodic death metal titans Apotheus just released a new video for the track “Staring the Abyss”, taken from their latest full-length "The Far Star".

“Staring the Abyss” is about despair and loss, but it also paves the way for a fallback plan in which everyone puts their hopes.

After such a dark terrible loss for everyone, the band has decided to bring you a glimpse of light. This video captures very well the joy and excitement of what happened at our first post-pandemic live show. It’s hard to put into words the feeling of rediscovering what truly drives them.

In essence, this is what “The Far Star” is about: a journey, with terrible losses and majestic wins, but above all, it’s about never giving up.

MAJESTICA RELEASE 2 TRACK LIVE SINGLE "ABOVE THE SKY IN TOKYO"

PRESS RELEASE:

In 2019, the Swedish power metal heroes MAJESTICA released their debut album "Above The Sky" and quickly followed it up with their Christmas musical album, “A Christmas Carol”, in late 2020. Both albums were a huge success in the metal community, but since touring became impossible during the COVID-19 pandemic, the band have found another way to give their fans an impression of their live power.

Today, MAJESTICA release their digital live single "Above The Sky In Tokyo", which was recorded at their last show in Tokyo before the pandemic hit. Featured are two very special songs: the sparkling title track of their first album, 'Above The Sky' and ’Welcome To The Theater’ from the REINXEED album of the same name.

Watch the video for "Above The Sky (Live in Tokyo)" here: https://youtu.be/lDlCFRa0DHI

The band comments on the release: ”We’re very happy to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of ’Above The Sky’, with our first MAJESTICA live release! It is also very exciting that this material is from our 2020 shows in Japan. We’ve always had a special relationship with Japan since our first release with REINXEED back in 2008, which is also one of the reasons that we have the REINXEED song ’Welcome To The Theater’ included as well.

’Above the Sky’ was written as a live song and we’re glad to now be able to show this to the whole world, when we can’t play it live.”

SEPULTURA RELEASE NEW SINGLE "MASK" FROM "SEPULQUARTA"

PRESS RELEASE:

While the pandemic paralyzed the entire world and prevented bands from touring, Latin America's biggest metal export SEPULTURA refused to sit back and act like an animal trapped in a cage. Like the flowers growing out of the deceased bird’s body depicted on the stunning colourful cover artwork by Eduardo Recife, the thrash metal pioneers from Belo Horizonte made good use of their unexpected free time to start a project that kept them busy throughout the entirety of 2020: Their new live album "SepulQuarta" will see the light of day on August 13th and the pre-order for this one-of-a-kind release featuring renowned guest musicians from all over the world is starting today.

„'SepulQuarta' was born at the very beginning of the pandemic when everything was halted”, guitarist Andreas Kisser remembers. “We had a new album out, but we couldn’t tour for it. Therefore, we created this recurring event where we could talk with our fans around the world, play our music and exchange ideas, it was a blast! »SepulQuarta« kept us alive and strong throughout one of the most difficult times in human history.”

Obviously, the Brazilian pioneers were not the only musicians feeling this way, so they started to connect with friends and colleagues worldwide and asked them to not only be part of their weekly podcast, but also join them in playing one of SEPULTURA’s classics tracks. From the safety of their homes, international stars like Devin Townsend, Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Danko Jones, Matt Heafy (TRIVIUM), and many more recorded a SEPULTURA track together with the band, which have now been mixed and mastered by Conrado Ruther for release on jewelcase CD, recycled 2LP vinyl in black and marbled (Nuclear Blast + bandshop exclusive) and all streaming platforms.

Today, the band unveils a spectacular performance of 'Mask' that they recorded together with prog master Devin Townsend. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/1gRHQ2nLKQ0
