EVOKING WINDS RELEASE REMASTERED VERSION OF "SILENT DAWN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Atmospheric metal meets folklore fantasy in music by Evoking Winds. It’s a mixture of stormy blast beats with an epic ambiance and a healthy dose of Eastern Europe’s dark tales.

The band was originally founded by Artyom Prishchepov together with Ivan Sereda in Belarus in 2008 as the way close friends created music together. They composed music for years just for fun and inspiration, and the band has eventually grown over a decade: adding Yaroslav Korotkin on vocals and bass, Sergey Shulzhenko (keys and orchestration), Dmitry Sarychau on guitars, and Alexander Cherepanov doing vocals. Today the musicians live around the world: Belarus, USA, China, Russia - and collaborate online. Recently they decided to re-mix and issue all of their music digitally available for everyone for free, featuring James Knoerl on drums and programming. Starting with the very first works they walk the journey again opening new chapters together. This sense of friendship is something everyone really started to value during pandemics and isolation.

Press release: Back to our folklore roots, the album tells the dark and authentic tales we listened to as kids here in Eastern Europe. Its culture code reflects the way nature behaves here, where the land is covered with endless swamps and pre-historic woods. The lyrics (available at the Bandcamp along with free lossless downloads) are grounded by the philosophy of nature, life, and death, and leaning towards the atmospheric black metal sound comparing to the band's debut album.

NORTHTALE RELEASE NEW TRACK: "ONLY HUMAN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In August 2019, power metal newcomers NORTHTALE released their successful first album"Welcome To Paradise". After their debut show at SABATON OPEN AIR in Sweden followed by shows in Japan, the band underwent a lineup change and after months of auditions, the new vocalist, Guilherme Hirose from Sao Paolo, Brazil was chosen.

Now, after releasing several re-recorded songs from "Welcome To Paradise" with Guilherme on vocals, the band finally announces their new album, “Eternal Flame”, which is set to be released on November 12th via Nuclear Blast. Produced by Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69, UNISONIC), the album features 12 brand new tracks and a whole range of new influences, from thrash metal, classical citations and Brazilian traditional music, all fused into NORTHTALE's own brand of melodic power metal. 

Today, the band unveil the first single 'Only Human' - a fast-paced, anthemic tune that comes with a lyric video.

Guitarist Bill Hudson comments: "The time has come! After almost two years of hard work, a lineup change and a global pandemic, we’re very happy to tell you we’re releasing our new album, “Eternal Flame”.

Our friends at Nuclear Blast have picked 'Only Human' as the first single. A short, straight to the point Power Metal track packed with every element that makes up our music. Sonically, it’ll sound very familiar to the fans. Lyrically, it talks about the moment we’re living in, where power structures are starting to crumble and people are rising up to what they believe in, in search of evolution. But we also make mistakes, and that’s exactly what makes us human. We learn by trial and error and become wiser that way. 

I know it sounds cliché, but this album is very superior to our debut. Also, I got some of my amazing friends to guest on it! I simply cannot wait to hear everyone’s reaction.

For now, enjoy 'Only Human' and we're looking forward to meeting everyone this winter in Europe with UNLEASH THE ARCHERS and STRIKER."

“Eternal Flame” features guest appearances from legendary icon Kai Hansen(HELLOWEEN/GAMMA RAY), his son Tim Kanoa Hansen (INDUCTION), Jonas Heidgert (DRAGONLAND) and Mary Zimmer (HELION PRIME). 

The album artwork was created by Gustavo Sazes (MACHINE HEAD, AMARANTHE, KAMELOT)

NORTHTALE is an international five piece Power Metal band which was formed in 2017 by guitarist Bill Hudson (DORO, TSO, ex-U.D.O), who was initially writing songs for a solo album. Drummer Patrick Johansson (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen/W.A.S.P), keyboardist Jimmy Pitts, bassist Mikael Planefeldt and former singer Christian Eriksson (ex-TWILIGHT FORCE) joined during the demo stages, when a decision was made to turn the project into a full time band. The groups’s debut album, “Welcome To Paradise” was released in August 2019 via Nuclear Blast to very high international acclaim and great reviews on the specialized media worldwide.

In the Summer of 2020 the band chose its new vocalist, Guilherme Hirose, after a worldwide search which included 40 candidates from 11 different countries.

HOLY DEATH RELEASE "SEPARATE MIND FROM FLESH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

After a near death experience (previous to the pandemic), guitarist/vocalist Torie John formed Holy Death. In the years prior to this event, death was not an uncommon occurrence in his life having lost several family members in a very short period of time. It is from this loss that Holy Death finds its morbid inspiration. Since the band formed, they've put out four releases that explored the sonic realms of Death and Doom. Their last EP which we released as a 12" Vinyl (w/ a silk screened B Side), Deus Mortis, was a meditation on the balance between these genres, whereas Separate Mind From Flesh is much more influenced by 90's Sludge/Doom acts like Grief, Warhorse, and even Crowbar. Lyrically the songs continue to be held together by a common thread of the pursuit of spiritual and metaphysical freedom.

".. Holy Death’s brand of monolithic, heavy-hitting death-doom gets more potent with each new release...'Deus Mortis' hits like a giant’s skull used for a wrecking ball—five times over.."

- Decibel Magazine

"the band should be considered “ones to watch” "

- No Clean Singing

"Each release built upon this idea of mixing heavy as nails death metal guitar work with psychedelic doom metal motions."

- Grizzly Butts

AKIAVEL RELEASE VIDEO FOR "LADY OF DEATH"

PRESS RELEASE:

French death metal masters AKIAVEL have unleashed a video for their song "Lady of Death". The track is taken from their critically acclaimed album Væ Victis which was released in April.

Frontwoman Aure comments: “Lady of Death” is a song about Aileen Wuornos. I absolutely wanted to put her on our album because I find her fascinating. I have studied her story a lot, I have a lot of compassion for her despite the fact that she has murdered people. That’s why the text isn’t very violent or bloody, it’s more based on how she feels. She had a lot of suffering in her.

For the video clip we got closer to her psychological state. That’s why we chose the actress who clearly embodied her conscience and the struggle within her."

The video has premiered simultaneously at several outlets worldwide.

DEATH ON FIRE RELEASE TYPE O NEGATIVE COVER: "WORLD COMING DOWN"

PRESS RELEASE:

Releasing on the 15th of October 2021, Midwest death metal outfit DEATH ON FIRE will present a dynamic tribute to TYPE O NEGATIVE with their cover of “World Coming Down”.

The band comments:

“Tim has always been a huge fan of TYPE O NEGATIVE. We have wanted to do a cover of one of their songs for a long time. “World Coming Down” is one that has everything they do well, and the bridge is a heart-breaking rationalization for self-destruction. It is very moving.”

DEATH ON FIRE deliver dark, harsh vocals and heavy instrumentation bringing their own identity to the track, while maintaining the intimate, personal mood of the original. The new single follows the quartet’s 2021 EP Six Foot Box.
