MASSACRE TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM: "RESURGENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Florida's masters of death metal, MASSACRE, will return this fall with their highly anticipated 4th full-length album, "Resurgence," that's set for release on October 22nd from Nuclear Blast. Their first record in 7 years is well worth the wait, as one can attest from the cutthroat first new single, "The Innsmouth Strain," revealed today. Fans can get a taste of what's to come with the visualizer below and are invited to pre-order the album now!

Commenting on the upcoming album and new single, vocalist Kam Lee states:

"It’s all about Lovecraft isn’t it. Honesty though, aesthetically MASSACRE needed two main things to return to be proper. A) The return to the core roots of O.S.D.M. (Old School Death Metal) style death metal that late 80’s, early 90’s sound. Musically the record has to retain that nostalgic retro style. B) To return to the lyrical aesthetics laden with influences heavily drawn from the stories and fictional mythos that is all Lovecraftian.

'The Innsmouth Strain' is heavily influenced by the H.P. Lovecraft story “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” yet has my own twisted take on transmutation body horror aspects thrown in. I sort of lyrically give it a David Cronenberg /Junji Ito type spin on a Lovecraft fiction. So lyrically it is basically it’s about body horror of aquatic transmutation. Any deeper meaning then that is just speculative, but could simply be metaphor for our world’s current situation with the pandemic and other threats of the spreading of viral infection. Musically it’s just proper O.S.D.M. the way it’s meant to be played and properly represented by MASSACRE."

MASSACRE rose from the swamps of Southern Florida in the early 80's during a heatwave of groundbreaking death metal that produced some of the genre's most revered forefathers, DEATH, OBITUARY and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy was founded with a string of classic demos, "Aggressive Tyrant" (1986), "Chamber of Ages" (1986) and "The Second Coming" (1990), before unleashing their critically praised classic debut album "From Beyond" (1991). Now decades later, the band makes their long-awaited return, invigorated with the same youthful rage that brought them together at inception. For "Resurgence," long-time members, vocalist Kam Lee (MANTAS, BONE GNAWER, THE GROTESQUERY) and bassist Mike Borders, were joined in the studio by some of death's most prolific and malignant songwriters, guitarist Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, MEGASCAVENGER, RIB SPREADER), guitarist Jonny Pettersson (WOMBBATH, NATTRAVNEN, HENRY KANE), guitarist Scott Fairfax (MEMORIAM, AS THE WORLD DIES) and drummer Brynjar Helgetun (CRYPTICUS, THE GROTESQUERY) with additional guest performances by Marc Grewe (INSIDIOUS DISEASE), Dave Ingram (BENEDICTION), Anders Odden (CADAVER), and Pete Slate (DRUID LORD) The record was recorded with producer and death metal icon Dan Swanö (ex-Edge of Sanity, ex-Bloodbath) and Pettersson as engineer/mixer.

about

Burning Coffin Records is proud to present an arcane and pestilent gem from the early days of Chilean Death Metal: DEATH YELL. An iconic band from this soil that became one of the main influences for many metal bands, even when their career wasn't too long, but very intense. 30 years has passed since the release of their symbolic first demo “Vengeance from Darkness”, and to this day, it is still one of the most obscure and extreme records from the early years in Southamerican metal ever.

It has been a long wait for many fans, but after 4 years since its official release by the great label Hells Headbangers, “Descent Into Hell”, their debut album, is now released for the very first time on cassette format by Burning Coffin Recs, including the bonus track “Back from the Depths”, taken from the 7” split with the almighty Atomic Aggressor.

“Descent Into Hell” is an album that keep the flame of bestiality that define DEATH YELL from their beginning. It brings sounds of thicker atmospheres from which arise an obscure and violent Death/Black Metal...true to their roots.

Limited to 200 tapes, this edition includes as bonus track “Back from the Depths”.

DEATH YELL:

Sergio "Galleta" - Vocals

Andres "Pollo" - Guitar

Andres "Pulga" - Guitar

Alejandro "Guatiu" - Bass

Marco "Demon" - Drums

VARNOK RELEASE "ANTHROPOGENIC" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Set to be released on October 1st, 2021, Anthropogenic is Varnok's new offering; the culmination of the work done throughout the lockdown, which was spent writing and recording new material. Going for the old-school thrash metal sound they had committed to, this time Varnok are also pushing towards a bit of a more technical sound, a positive consequence caused by the departure of their bassist, something that forced the band to act as a two-piece in the interim period and be more productive than ever.

The concept of Anthropogenic presents the idea of human extinction being self-inflicted, as a lot of what is on this EP reflects self-destructive tendencies.

«We tried to make the most of the lockdowns by writing and recording as much as possible», the band comments. «Now that we are out of the dark in that regard, we want to get out there and tour as much as we have the opportunity for, especially places we haven't been.»

Tracklisting as follows:

Anthropogenic_4

Who Goes There

Tickling the Dragon's Tail

Revenant

HUNTED RELEASE "DELIVER US"

PRESS RELEASE:

Pitch Black Records is thrilled to announce that Welsh-borne Progressive Heavy Metal act HUNTED has joined the label’s roster!

After a lengthy break from release activity, HUNTED returns stronger than ever with the band’s sophomore full-length effort “Deliver Us”, scheduled for release on September 10th.

Now operating as a quartet consisting of arch-wailer Chris G, axeman Steve Barberini along with the habile rhythm section of bassist Jon Letson and drummer Matt “Animal” Thomas, the band has spent their time wisely; improving upon their compositional and instrumental skills to offer us this mercurial blend of Heavy Metal’s past, present and future. Painstakingly refined into maximum alchemical combustion by the expert hand of Sonic One Studios’ producer Tim Hamill, the new material sees the four-piece up the ante in regard to the successful formula established on their praised debut album “Welcome the Dead” (2010, Massacre Records), arriving at an updated mode of expression that can only be described as a highly distinctive amalgamation of North American and European Progressive Heavy/Power Metal.

As was pointed out by reviewers in the past, HUNTED takes no issue in transgressing neither genre- nor songwriting rules when necessary, delivering songs that effortlessly navigate through vertiginous tempo shifts, serene sonorities and all-out aggression. The result is a breathtaking musical journey that will surely leave no listener untouched, making for a particularly satisfying listening experience for fans of NEVERMORE or Chuck Schuldiner’s daring work with CONTROL DENIED during the same era.

However, considering the nature of the eleven incredibly versatile tracks that constitute “Deliver Us”, HUNTED does not paint themselves into “this” or “that” stylistic corner and will surely appeal to a wider listener base as well. As a sign of their broad musical ground, HUNTED has chosen to include a lush and ample cover of Spanish cult act ANGELES DEL INFIERNO’s “Maldito Sea Tu Nombre”, sung entirely in Spanish, of course. The cover song will be a bonus track on the CD edition of the album.

Now, if you dare to venture beyond the safe confines of conventional Heavy Metal… take heed and let “Deliver Us” give you one hell of a ride!

“Deliver Us” is out on September 10th, on CD and Digital with a song taken off the album now available for streaming and free download at www.pitchblackrecords.com where pre-order information is also available.

Today, Norwegian blackened Viking metal band HJELVIK unleashes a brand-new single called 'Synkverving', that features a guest appearance by Lars Nedland from WHITE VOID and BORKNAGAR. The single follows the release of HJELVIK's debut album "Welcome To Hel" in late 2020 and is also strongly based on Norse mythology and Viking themes, paired with the raw and sinister tone that is typical for the band.

Frontman Erlend Hjelvik comments: "This doomy little ditty was recorded during the “Welcome to Hel” sessions and is now released in all its glory with a brand new mix and master courtesy of fellow countryman Endre Kirkesola (ABBATH & GREEN CARNATION). Making things sound extra Norwegian, 'Synkverving' features the debut of HJELVIK rhythm guitarist Remi André Nygård and awesome guest vocals and organ by Lars Are Nedland (WHITE VOID, BORKNAGAR & SOLEFALD). The cherry on top of this pagan pie is an animated video created by Zak Kirwin (GHOUL & SPIRIT ADRIFT) who brings the "mound people" to life! Listen loud!"
