CULTIST RELEASE "MANIC DESPAIR"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: February 5th, 2022

FFO: The Chasm, early Death, Immolation

Location: Calgary, Canada

Formed in the summer of 2015, by Jim Petigo, BS, and MG. Vanessa Grossberndt joined on vocals later. We released a demo in 2016, available digitally upon request. In the winter of 2017, MG and BS left, and we went into hibernation. In the summer of 2017, Brodie Wylie joined on guitar, and we released an EP, Cosmic Tomb in 2018, a split with Euthanized, entitled A Pact From the Grave in 2019, and we kept the momentum going. At the beginning of 2020, Brodie left, but was gracious enough to record the songs he helped to write for our full length, Manic Despair. The guitar parts for the rest were written and recorded by session guitarist Depresor. In September of 2020, we found a new guitarist in Joe Pacentrilli, with whom we’ve been practicing and performing material from Manic Despair, and the two previous releases, as well as writing new material for our next release.

MINNERIKET RELEASE "GJENNOM MEG GÅR INGEN TIL HVILE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist: Minneriket

Release title: Gjennom meg går ingen til hvile

Label: Self-Released

Release Date: 21-01-2022

Format: CD, Digital

Genre: Black Metal

Country: Norway

For fans of Myrkur, Jinjer, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy, Evanescence

The music available on "Gjennom meg går ingen til hvile" is in the style of the band's previous two singles. The album features a pretty big roster of session musicians, even more than on the first two singles. Some are amateurs, some are more known people.

Stein Akslen has done extensive field-recordings out in nature to supplement the compositions on the album. He comments: «That had me sleeping outside in the forests for a few nights to record an owl, and all other sounds - including wolves - are real. There are no samples at all on the album.»

He adds: «In total I have been working on this album for about 6 years now. There's a lot of memories tied up on it, and it will be dedicated in loving memory to those we have lost. Some of the lyrics on the album actually dates back about 17 years, so I've used this album to really go full circle.»

Produced and mixed by Stein Akslen at Hagall studios.

Recorded on various locations throughout the world.

All field-recordings done on location in Norway.

Mastering by Niklas Kveldulfsson.

Tracklist:

Så kald en jord

Hjemlengsel

Begravelsens hjerteslag

Regnbuer i gråtoner

PROGNOSTICATION RELEASE "COLLAPSE" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: July 23, 2021

FFO: Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, The Contortionist

Location: Missouri 

Prognostication is a one-man progressive metal project based in Mid Missouri, the sole member being guitarist and vocalist Allen Gingerich. Originally formed as an instrumental project while he was in high school with some friends Allen wanted to push the boundaries of the music that he was writing and wanted to step outside of conventional metal form and thus continued on by himself writing to his true musical vision. Heavily influenced by progressive bands such as Between the Buried and Me, Opeth, The Contortionist, and lots of tech death bands, Prognostication has music that utilizes odd time signatures, very technical riffs, long song structures, jazz breaks, shreddy guitar solos, and many other elements taken from the influences mentioned. Collapse was written, recorded, and performed all by Allen Gingerich with the sole exception of a vocal feature by a good friend Mark Sullivan in the title track. In the future Allen hopes to find members to bring the music he's written to play live and collaborate on future material as well. A follow up to Collapse is already being written and will have much more tech death influence taking notes from bands such as Necrophagist, and The Faceless and will be a concept album.
