CRADLE OF FILTH RELEASE VIDEO FOR "CRAWLING KING CHAOS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Belched from Hell’s depths into the rustic charms of the Witch County, Suffolk, thirty long and disturbing years ago, CRADLE OF FILTH are undisputed giants of the Heavy Metal realm. Imperious purveyors of a perennially unique strain of dark, dastardly and wilfully extreme metal, with deep roots in the worlds of gothic horror and occult curiosity, the band led by Dani Filth has weathered three decades of tumult and trial, earning a formidable reputation as both a singular creative force and one of the most riotously entertaining live bands the metal world has ever produced.

Now the gates of hell have finally opened up again, to reveal the band's 13th manifesto, recorded during the lockdown periods of 2020 and entitled »Existence Is Futile«. Pieced together in isolation, at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk with studio guru Scott Atkins (Devilment/Benediction/Vader), the band's latest chef-d'oeuvre is a pitch-black, perverse and at times absurdly brutal and extreme masterpiece following a truly nihilistic concept:

"The album is about existentialism, existential dread and fear of the unknown," frontman Dani Filth explains. "The concept wasn’t created by the pandemic. We’d written it long before that began, but the pandemic is the tip of the cotton-bud as far as the way the world is headed, you know? I guess the title, »Existence Is Futile«, does sound a little morbid. But again, it’s more about recognising that truth and saying that everything is permitted because nothing really matters, which mimics the occultist Aleister Crowley’s maxim. We all know we’re going to die, so we might as well indulge life while we possess it. The final track on the album – 'Us, Dark, Invincible' – really drives that point home. Also, the artwork for this record was created by the Latvian visionary Arthur Berzinsh, who also dressed the last two albums, and that reeks of the exceedingly beautiful yet apocalyptic too."

Diehard fans will be thrilled to learn that horror icon Doug 'Pinhead' Bradley makes a welcome return to the CRADLE fold, lending his dulcet tones to the band's most polictically astute song to date, the epic 'Suffer Our Dominion' as well as the album bonus track 'Sisters Of The Mist', which is the conclusion to the 'Her Ghost In The Fog' trilogy that started over 20 years ago on the infamous and classic "Midian".

Yet today, the hellhounds from Suffolk will reveal one of their most brutal tracks on the new album, accompanied by an infernal music video directed by Vicente Cordero.

VEIL OF CONSPIRACY RELEASE "ECHOES OF WINTER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: Veil Of Conspiracy

Album: Echoes Of Winter

Country: Italy

Genre: Melancholic Metal

Label: BadMoodMan Music

Release date: August 27, 2021

The new album by the Italian band featuring musicians previously participated in other bands and already released their first full-length album. "Echoes Of Winter", unlike the debut album, demonstrates balance, refinement of the material and musicians’ skills, together with its integrity. Perfect recording quality underlines all shades of the music and the mood of the album. The atmosphere of despair and emptiness is emphasized not only by harmonious musicians' performance with sublime riffs and deep guitar solos, but also by pure melancholic vocals with tragic screaming inclusions. This journey into coldness and darkness will be especially pleasant for fans of the classic Katatonia, as well as Opeth and The Morningside.

Tracklist:

1 Echoes Of Winter

2 Grim Light

3 The Darkest Fall

4 Ocean's Tide

5 At The Edge Of Dark

6 Cold

7 Shore Of Discord

8 Forsaken

9 Svart

10 Where Sun Turns To Grey

ALL WASTED

ALL WASTED – A metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. Created by members with the attitude that it’s time to “just have a damn good time”. After a couple of years of jamming and tuning in the “right style” the band decided to go public in 2020. Not only with a raw, energetic, punch in the face kind of music. But also with a full length album ready to go.

So what genre is it?

- Call it Rock ‘n roll – death or death ‘n roll or anything else that sounds cool!(?) But it’s energetic, heavy, punchy and easy listened at the same time. Just the right amount of trickiness, and party as hell. Just hard enough for the death metal heads, but still enough simple melodies for straight up rockers. There’s some “old school” in there for you as well as hardcore-punk”(?). Take a listen and you’ll know what we mean.

Background?

ALL WASTED´s members come from bands like: We Are The Catalyst, Arise, Reenact, Agaze, Last Kingdom, Debbie Ray… e.tc.  Join us on our journey…

All Wasted are:

Patrik – vocals

Erik – guitar

Emil – guitar/backing vocals

Hcan – drums

Jimmy – bass

EXCRUCIATION RELEASE "REPENT, SINNERS!" SINGLE AND VIDEO

PRESS RELEASE:

Get on your knees bastards... Get on your knees and pray! For the end is to come... Repent, Sinners!

New single and video by Swiss extreme Metal veterans Excruciation! A taste of things to come!

To be unleashed on July 30, 2021 on all digital platforms and as a limited 3" mini-CDr including two additional versions of the song.

"Repent, Sinners!" is the first original track of the re-activated lineup from 1990/2007. Tentatively taken from the forthcoming album [p]ain. To be released in early 2022.

The world has gotten darker and so is Excruciation.

Excruciation says:

"We're extremely happy to be back on the track after some throwbacks during the last year and we are not just talking about the Covid pandemic but also of private and health issues. Time was dark and this is the result!

Finally, a new track was released with the new lineup featuring George on guitars who was already a member in 1990 and 2007/2008.

This song may or may not be part of the new album presumably called "[p]ain", so it is a glimpse of things to come.

12 songs have been written, so Repent, Sinners! We're back."

CASSIUS KING RELEASE VIDEO FOR "CLEOPATRA´S NEEDLE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Fresh off of releasing their debut album Field Trip on California's Nomad Eel Records, Cassius King have just released their first full length video for the song Cleopatra's Needle. The video was produced by Jason C. Stewart who also produced the Last Ride and Torture King videos off the last Vessel Of Light album. 

"Jason has become my go-to-guy the last year and a half." said guitarist Dan Lorenzo. "His enthusiasm is off the charts and at this point I let him to whatever he wanted for Cleopatra's Needle and I think it's just as much fun to watch as it is to listen to".

Overkill's Bobby Blitz commented

It's really great, I even commented, which I never do .. . "epic" got such an old school doom vibe, but never bores ...love the journey!

Previous Cassius King press release below:

Former HADES founding member Dan Lorenzo has been using the CASSIUS KING moniker for years. From his debut 

solo album to his endless cover song CDs with various lead vocalists. But it wasn't until 2021 when Lorenzo decided to 

make an all original album with vocalist Jason McMaster (WATCHTOWER/DANGEROUS TOYS/BROKEN TEETH/HOWLING SYCAMORE/IGNITOR). Lorenzo released four albums in three years with his doom band VESSEL OF LIGHT when Coronavirus prevented any more live shows. "I had music to probably eight or nine more songs after VOL released Last Ride", Lorenzo said. "I didn't think the world was ready for a fifth Vessel Of Light album when we couldn't even play shows to support Last Ride. Jason sang multiple Cassius King cover songs with me and I had some music that was maybe a bit more like Hades plus a bluesy song I sent off to Jason. I was shocked how quickly Jason wrote and sang the first few songs so I recorded a few more brand new tunes. I asked Jason if he needed any help with melodies and he told me he did not. Jason said he could use some lyrical ideas though. I told that to Jimmy Schulman (Hades/Vessel Of Light) and he and Jason ended up collaborating lyrically on three songs."

Schulman commented, "When Dan mentioned Jason needed some lyrical ideas, I was excited to be part of that process.

Jason and I came at it a few different ways. Sometimes it was just texting back-and-forth with a line or two at a time until it took on shape. Another time, a long poem was crafted into a song. However it went though, it proved to be a cool and interesting collaboration."

So what kind of music is the debut CASSIUS KING album Field Trip? Traditional heavy metal? Doom? 

McMaster stated, "It was the kind of material I had been wanting to do for a long time. It feels a bit like Ozzy and Dio playing poker over some left over Sabbath material. The melodies came to me quickly, as well as some of the lyrics. Things I already had fit the visions I had upon first listen and it all flowed immediately. I would not call it a full "doom" application of terms, but, its heavy, it reminds me of what I love about Sabbath and Dio songs".

Drummer Ron Lipnicki ( former Overkill current Vessel Of Light) said, "I think this new album's got something for everyone it's like the fruits all line up on the slot machine." That includes fans of Hades seminal release Resisting Success as Scott LePage plays leads on the songs I Move With The Moon and King of Lies.

Cassius King Field Trip features cover art by Claudio Bergamin ( Judas Priest Firepower) . Nomad Eel Records have already released a vinyl single by Cassius King. Field Trip is out now
