SPECTRAL DARKWAVE RELEASE "AT OUTER DARK"


PRESS RELEASE:

Six years on from their dramatic debut album, Last First Contact, which announced them to the world in such magnificent fashion, the Cthulu worshipping space pirates of Spectral Darkwave have returned – back from years of dark adventure, nefarious deeds and untold wickedness. To match their ever more extravagant exploits and their ever blacker hearts, their music has attained new heights of grandeur and plumbed new depths of horror. They bring you ten new tales of torment and terror, ten new arias of impossible encounters in the night beyond the stars. It is time to discover the monsters that lurk...At Outer Dark.

Last First Contact was notable for its blending of extreme influences and its rampant imagination, but it also suggested that Spectral Darkwave were a band on the brink of connecting with something truly special, something utterly beyond the norm. They have crossed that threshold. At Outer Dark is an explosion of glorious contrasts and contradictions; vibrantly colourful yet black as pitch, toweringly majestic yet insidious and shadow-dwelling, bombastic and brutal, exhilarating and portentous, cruel and thrilling. This is cataclysmic open warfare between doom, death, black and industrial metal – rebellious riffing and militaristic marches, brute force and magic. Tales of ancient battle, old gods and travels beyond the borders of both the universe and reality itself are unfurled.

Having proclaimed their return to the fray from the stage of Bloodstock Open Air, Spectral Darkwave are now ready to unveil their greatest achievement to date, an album like no other. On October 8th At Outer Dark will be unveiled in all its obscene, arcane, mystical might and the boundaries of possibility will be redefined forever.

FOUL BODY AUTOPSY TO RELEASE "SHADOWS WITHOUT LIGHT - PART ONE" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

With his 2020 Foul Body Autopsy EP, Consumed By Black Thoughts, Tom Reynolds showed not only an expansion of his musical vision and ambition, but also a new honesty and openness in his lyrics. The increasingly deft and dextrous, melodic death metal, rife with irresistible hooks and memorable guitar lines, was accompanied by an exploration of Tom’s own struggles with depression. Both the musical sense of adventure and deeply personal approach to lyric writing have been developed even further on new release, Shadows Without Light: Part One - the first in an exciting trilogy of EPs.

Shadows Without Light: Part One features three different mixes of the single, eponymous track. The first take on ‘Shadows...’ is a straight ahead melodic death metal masterpiece, full of winding guitar lines and a sense of dark overwhelming majesty. The second, the ‘Synth Remix’, is a lighter, brighter version of the song, instrumental, with a gothic/industrial feel. Finally there is the ‘Hybrid Mix’ which nestles between the two previous interpretations, drawing elements from them both to create something new, different again. The subject matter of ‘Shadows Without Light’ sees Tom working through the death of a loved one. It’s a very public way of dealing with a very personal pain, but by sharing his grief Tom hopes to be able to “help someone else along the way.” For its honesty, for its spirit and most of all for its musical endeavour, Shadows Without Light: Part One is another superb addition to the ever more impressive canon of Foul Body Autopsy.

Once again Tom has worked with producer Russ Russell (Amorphis, At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir etc) whose magic touch gave Consumed By Black Thoughts such a powerful sound and the results are just as spectacular. Indeed Russ was even more involved this time around, helping to create the ‘Synth Remix’ track. Shadows Without Light: Part One will be released on October 1st on all black memory sticks, which will include superb artwork created by Arif Rot of Wormrot, exclusively from the Foul Body Autopsy bandcamp page.


Track Listing:

1 – Shadows Without Light

2 – Shadows Without Light (Synth Remix)

3 – Shadows Without Light (Hybrid Mix)

NECROTICGOREBEAST RELEASE "HUMAN DEVIANCE GALORE"


PRESS RELEASE:

On October 1st the Quebecois war machine, NecroticGoreBeast will unleash their new album, Human Deviance Galore - a massive detonation of supreme brutality and breathtaking technical skill. Somehow NecroticGoreBeast have found another level of power, a new dimension of ferocity that leaves even their fearsome debut scattered like dust in the wind.  

Beneath the dull and fading radiance of a dying sun the festering mess of a rotting populace writhe and swarm in oblivious, angry ignorance. The world may have become a decaying abattoir, drowning in excrement and depravity but their obsessions remain the same; one more kill, one more high, one more rush of twisted, ecstatic release...one more act of dominance, one more forced submission and one more handful of worthless wealth. There is no quest for survival or striving for rebirth, no dreams for future generations, only an endless brutal fight to be crowned the king of death. To be the one to stand atop the sky scraping mountain of corpses and scream out “I will be the last to die!”

Tearing their way through the brutal death metal pack, reducing them all to a gaggle of squabbling children whose trivial rivalries are an irrelevance, NecroticGoreBeast have returned. The Quebecois war machine that laid siege to the underground extreme metal scene with their skull crushing, self titled debut album (-featured in the Metal Hammer writers Albums of 2019) are about to unveil their latest monument to absolute malicious force, their latest claim to the throne of heaviest band in the goddamn world! With stunning musical dexterity, the most inhuman vocal delivery imaginable, lyrical concepts from beyond the borders of insanity and riffs that can break bones, Human Deviance Galore is a staggering, obscene creation. Somehow NecroticGoreBeast have found another level of power, a new dimension of ferocity that leaves even their fearsome debut scattered like dust in the wind. Combining wicked intricacy with the earth-scorching might of an artillery barrage, warped masterpieces like ‘Leaking Stoma Intercourse’ and ‘Feeding On Abscess’ are ripping at the boundaries of extremity, while the slithering sickness of ‘Abnormal Postmortem Impregnation’ will leave the most hardened fan of brutal death metal breathless and broken. All the NecroticGoreBeast trademarks are here on Human Deviance Galore – the imperious indifference, the relentless savagery, the warped, black humour and the breathtaking skill – and all turned up to the max.

Marching once more under the Comatose Music banner, NecroticGoreBeast are armed to the teeth and ready to destroy. On October 1st Human Deviance Galore will be unleashed, setting new standards for brutal death metal as it executes a scorched earth policy of musical devastation. Nothing will withstand the onslaught!

IGNEA RELEASE SPLIT WITH ERSEDU

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In June 2021, IGNEA signed a deal with Napalm Records and started working on the third album that is planned for 2022.

Before bringing the new full-length record to the world, the band treats its fans with the split EP BESTIA recorded together with their friends ERSEDU.

BESTIA is a concept EP about the human nature of Ukrainian mythological creatures and the world’s duality. In Ukrainian, BESTIA (Ukr. «бестія») means both a savage beast and a mischievous person. This is a split record that consists of songs by two Ukrainian bands — IGNEA and ERSEDU — and is a result of their 10-year friendship.

BESTIA will be out on all streaming platforms on October 21, 2021, as well as on digipak CD and vinyl. The physical formats will also contain The symphony of BESTIA — a mix of orchestral arrangements used in the five songs from the EP. The pre-order for merch and CDs starts on September 10 on IGNEA’s website. The pre-order for vinyl starts on September 15 at RockMark.

The new single Mermaids is available on all platforms - https://ffm.to/mermaids


The EP starts with two songs by IGNEA. Bosorkun is an intense fast-paced track that sounds like the Carpathian wind: fierce and chill, rapid and still, unpredictable and changing, unstoppable, powerful, yet lighter than feathers. According to Ukrainian mythology, Bosorkun is an evil mountain spirit who kills with the power of the wind and sends drought and illnesses to people and animals. In IGNEAs’ song though, he’s a ‘spirit with a kind but destructive nature’ who wants to make friends with humans and trade his immortality for their world.

The second track is sung on behalf of the Slavic valkyrie, the winged, warlike, cloud maiden, the daughter of the Thunderer Perun — Magura. With her wings, she overshadows the brave soldiers fallen on the battlefield, touches their lips, and gives them the living water to drink from a golden cup. This is how these soldiers end up in Vyriy, the heavenly palace for eternal life. In Magura’s Last Kiss, Magura is fed up with wars and says that ‘peace can be bold and knightly’. To end all fightings, she kisses herself, goes to Vyriy herself.

Mermaids is a song about Ukrainian mavkas (sirens) who cannot find their place anywhere: neither on the shore nor in the waters. Just like humans, they are bored when their life is in balance, and they’re trapped in the problems that they create on their own. This song features both bands and is also accompanied by a cinematic music video that will premiere on September 15.

The second part of the EP consists of ERSEDU’s two songs about the dual nature of the world. Black Garden tells the story of Zmiy, the Ukrainian dragon who could destroy and poison the gardens and lands but also take away disasters from humans. Seduction of the girl by Zmiy is a popular folklore plot, and this is what actually happens in the song: Zmiy seduces the girl with his black love and she accepts him, dissolving in his nature.

The Eaters of the Sun is a cosmogonic myth about the ambivalence of kindness and evil, light and darkness, the neverending cycle of day and night. The Sun — the embodiment of the supreme god and goodness, blind obedience to dogmas — can burn and destroy lives. Darkness — the personification of evil and independence — can save from the deadly blinding light, become a savior and ensure critical thinking. The Eaters of the Sun is the hymn of balance and rational human who accepts light and darkness as his parts, and himself as the part of Cosmos and bestial creatures.


Tracklist:

1. Bosorkun

2. Magura’s Last Kiss

3. Mermaids

4. Black Garden

5. The Eaters of the Sun
