GOMORRAN RELEASE "EXCERPTS FROM THE DARK AGE" EP


PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish Helsinki-based blackened death metal band Gomorran released their debut record Excerpts From the Dark Age on December 3rd 2021 via Inverse Records. To celebrate the release, band also released their third music video Esaiah and it's available here: https://youtu.be/0QKMJdi-A2Y 

Guitarist Joonatan Wiitasalo & drummer Olli Lappalainen comments:

“It is an incredible feeling to behold the final product. When we first started this project in 2019 with Joonatan and thought about all the things we could do, the making and publishing of our own record was barely a dream. We talked about “what would be cool to do”. In the end that alone motivated a lot and it sparked a deep will to create something real. In a way it was evident, that nothing happens by itself and no one is gonna make anything come to fruition for you. Then we formed a band and now after two years of hard work we have a complete record and big hopes and medium sized plans for the future.

We have poured countless hours of time and energy into this record, but lo and behold this chapter came to an end. This record is our magnum opus at least so far, a project that let’s us show the work we have done during this quarantine year. This record encapsulates four musicians’ lifelong love of metal music - the song ideas that have finally come into reality.”

BIOGRAPHY:

Gomorran was formed in Helsinki in the Fall of 2019 when Olli Lappalainen’s hiatus from playing drums came to an end. There was a burning desire to form a new band and get back to producing metal music. Guitarist Joonatan Wiitasalo ended his own hiatus and joined to release his heavy music creativity. In the following months many new song ideas came to light.

Even though the composing was proceeding strong, the band desperately lacked members. By the end of summer 2020 the band was joined by an ambassador of evil soundwaves, singer guitarist Perttu Laamanen. Perttu gave a huge boost to the composing of new material. Song structures and ideas formed into complete songs and Gomorran started to plan on producing its debut record. In the beginning of 2021, right before the recordings of Excerpts from the Dark Age, bassist Panu Nykänen joined to amplify the lower frequencies.

When Olli and Joonatan wanted to compose merciless ass-kicking music, inspired by Ajattara and Cannibal Corpse, Gomorran’s first song Black Plague was born in the spring of 2020. The song was held as a beacon to the direction the band should musically strive forward to. Gomorran perceives their music as death metal that draws influence from the murkiness of black metal. The impact of other music genres cannot be downplayed, since the members of the band own a wide range of musical influences. Lyrics on the Excerpts from the Dark Age record include harrowing stories about the Roman empire, Middle Ages and from pagan literature.

The band ended up recording their debut record Excerpts from the Dark Age independently in the band’s rehearsal room in Vallila, Helsinki. Mixing and recording was done by Gomorran’s drummer Olli Lappalainen. Choir, keyboard and strings were arranged and produced by Markus Lappalainen. The recording and mixing of the album was finished in July of 2021, following mastering done by Sound Spiral Studios’ Juho Räihä. Excerpts from the Dark Age was published in the fall of 2021 by Inverse Records, a record label and a release agency.

MOONLIGHT HAZE RELEASE "ANIMUS"


PRESS RELEASE:

Italian melodic symphonic power metallers MOONLIGHT HAZE will release their third studio album "Animus" on March 18th 2022 on Scarlet Records.

“‘Animus’ represents a huge step up for Moonlight Haze’s songwriting and sound. This album got each of us excited since the very first melodies and lines that had been written. It’s an introspective work, but at the same time it also looks at the world outside – willing to bring a bright message of vitality and rebirth. Hence the title, ‘Animus’, a Latin word that has different meanings: vital force, conscience, soul, mind and courage as well.”

Chiara Tricarico, frontwoman & lyricist

Recorded by MOONLIGHT HAZE and mixed & mastered by Simone Mularoni at the renowned Domination Studio, "Animus" boasts the stunning performance of vocalist Chiara Tricarico and is graced by the amazing artwork and pictures of Beatrice Demori.

URFERD RELEASE "RESAN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: April 15 2022

FFO: Eluveitie, Moonsorrow , Equilibrium

Location: Falun, Sweden


URFERD signifies the beginning of a new and additional musical chapter for its founder and sole member, Daniel Beckman (TWILIGHT FORCE, AGES), and brings a refreshing new perspective to the genre, challenging the boundaries of dark atmospheric folk music. The first album “RESAN” is a musical odyssey in both a literal and figurative sense. The album takes the listener on a journey through dark and olden nordic forests; where strife and hardships follows in our steps, yet where the beauty and vastness of the solemn nordic landscape persists and permeates. From the album opening’s depiction of a serene morning’s dawn, to the closing track’s respite of a hearth at nightfall, RESAN traverses a multitude of captivating musical landscapes and themes throughout its eight songs.

OSHIEGO RELEASE "JALJALUT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: Oshiego

Album: Jaljalut

Country: Singapore

Genre: Death Metal

Label: Seven Kings Productions

Release date: January 14, 2022


Tracks for radio:

- Provenance

- Litany Of The Sea


- Clerics Of Corruption


Download promo

Singapore-based Death metal band Oshiego set January 14, 2022 as the international release date for their 5th full-length album Jaljalut. Album will be released by Seven Kings Productions.

Oshiego has been perfecting Death Metal since 2004. The current line-up of Oshiego consists of Umar (vocals), Zul (guitars and bass) and Krzysztof Klingbein (session drums). Oshiego takes heavy musical influences from notable bands such as Kreator, Melechesh and Grave, as well as incorporating Middle Eastern touches into their songs. Lyrically-driven by subjects involving injustice, war, Islamic mysticism and the inevitable struggles of life. Oshiego is determined to Thrash and Destroy!

Oshiego released an MCD titled Unending Carnage in 2009. Favourable reviews were garnered by this release from reviewers of Sea of Tranquility, Metal Team UK and Castle of Vampiria (Spanish). This release consisted of two new songs (also recorded by Leonard Soosay at Snakeweed studios) and the four songs from the “Now Suffer” demo, all mastered by Michael Kalember (Absence Of The Sacred).

In late 2009, work commenced on Oshiego’s debut full-length album, ‘Woe to the Conquered’. Again, it was recorded by Nathanial Chew and Leonard Soosay at Snakeweed studios. The completed work was sent to Hertz Studios in Poland to be mastered, who morphed the already brutal recording into a relentless assault, poised to strike at the hearts of the unbelievers.

Oshiego went on a hiatus from live shows from May 2009, but returned with a vengeance to bring the crushing tones of their music to the masses from the live stage yet again in 2010, with a gig which was aptly named, Now Suffer. The resounding response to the gig is reflected in a gig review, which described the closing act as follows: “The set for the night finally ended with local pharaohs Oshiego bringing down the house with the wall of death poised to portray their adulation.” Clearly Oshiego’s capacity to entertain an audience live has not been undermined by the months of silence.

Oshiego released ‘Woe to the Conquered’ in 2011 independently. It was during this era that Oshiego shared the stage with notable bands such as Marduk and Misery Index in Indonesia

In 2013, Oshiego released their sophomore album, The Great Architect of Nothing’, under the label, Horror Pain Gore Death Productions (HPGD). Eight soul shattering original tracks of groovy, neck-breaking riffs, bonecrushing subsonic bass and primal, warlike exteme percussion plus a cover of Vomitory’s ‘The Voyage’. This is where Oshiego truly found their sound.

Oshiego released their third album in 2015, ‘Crossing the Bridge of Siraat’. Considered to be their masterpiece Oshiego were more devastating than ever before. Merciless riffs, Middle-Eastern stylings, groove and melody combine with an uncompromising old school approach resulting in total sonic torment!

In 2019 Oshiego release their 4th album, ‘The Book of Wonders’ with multi-talented musician, Jared Moran, who has many projects under his belt (Uzumaki, Ange De La Mort, Boiled Tongue, Filrth Eater, etc).

Oshiego released their Single, “Clerics Of Corruption”, Friday 3rd September 2021. A soul shattering track of pure malice and hate. A song that emerged from the inner recesses of rage, anger & an uncompromising hate of the unjust! This track will feature the Blistering Guitars of Oshiego’s newest member Zul & the drumming of the young and talented Krzysztof Klingbein who was on tour with Vader for the De Profundis XXV – Album Reedition Tour 2021.

Oshiego released their Single, “Litany Of The Sea”, Friday 1st October 2021. A song inspired by the renowned litany of the great 13th century Sufi & Mystic of Morocco, Abū al-Hasan al-Shādhilī. A Powerful and Majestic expression of both slavehood and poverty toward absolution. This track feature the Blistering Guitars of Oshiego’s newest member Zul & the drumming of the young and talented Krzysztof Klingbein.
