KATAPULT RELEASE VIDEO FOR "NIHILISM FOR THE GODS"

PRESS RELEASE:

Melodeath-charged thrashers Katapult has dropped the video for the “Nihilism for the Gods” single. The track serves as the first preview of the Basel/Umeå outfit’s debut album, Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes, which arrives on 25 November 2022 digitally and on digipak CD via Discouraged Records [Pre-Orders Available AT THIS LOCATION].

Comments Florian Moritz (Guitars) on the track:

“‘Nihilism for the Gods’ started as a song about total exhaustion from fighting your everyday battles and being vulnerable. Then it turned into something bigger about the human duality and sheer disgust of people’s behavior and how the big picture is connected to our very own and personal battles we have each day.”

“Nihilism for the Gods” is available on DSPs RIGHT HERE.

Watch the Music Video:

Born in a backstage area in Sweden in the summer of 2017, Katapult is the brainchild of Florian Moritz and Johan Norström. As everyone and their grandmother know, not many bands born in backstage areas survive their infancy, but despite being raised in both Switzerland and Sweden, Katapult endured. As time went by, Joel Purificacion was invited to shred some solos on their debut EP, A Fistful of Truth, and being such a good fit, he ended up joining the ranks. Similarly, Felix Bacher and David Stutzer ended up sticking with Katapult while being invited to track bass and drums, respectively, during the production of the second EP, Shut the Fuck Up and Press Play.

The upcoming album Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes is a merry-go-round of dark emotions, filled with 13 tracks ranging from blistering rage to immense sorrow, all sprinkled with a layer of “go fuck yourself” attitude. Where tracks like “Comfortably Dumb” deal with the hypocrisy of accepting the meat industry, “21th Century Gladiator Boy” points and laughs at all influencers trying to out-stupid one another, “Litany of Spirals” was written during a sleepless night caused by burnout borderline depression, and “Bränn bilder och minnen” is a giant “Fuck you” to that guy from school who is a proud fucking nazi nowadays. To fuel this record with unusual elans, Katapult has utilized the services of a special batch of musicians and their artistry, including vocals, percussion, pedal steel, Hammond, violin, cello, and orchestral arrangement.

For Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes, no less than six videos are in production as Katapult continues to have a strong visual presence. This is not just a bold statement as band members Johan and Florian both work professionally as filmmakers. Johan is an experienced editor, colorist, and animator, and Florian is an exceptional director of photography. Keeping in mind that the video for their track “Du brinner ihjäl” received awards for its storytelling and cinematography, Katapult has all the intentions to surpass that video with what comes next.

In the meantime, Katapult eagerly awaits their first live performance. The pandemic outbreak and the geographical distance between Switzerland and Sweden have not even allowed all the band members to congregate under one roof.

SOUL REBORN RELEASE "BLACK TEAR IN A RIVER OF BLOOD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: 04 June 2022

FFO: Aborted, Gojira, Behemoth

Location: Milan, Italy

Stefano Pelosi (aka Stige76 on Youtube) and Soul Reborn is a one-man band solo project. Stefano takes care of writing the songs, the lyrics, production and mixing. He plays all the instruments except the drum, which he composed with superior drummer 3, and he has an external singer to sing the songs. Mastering is entrusted to Imperial Mastering. Stefano was born in Milan, Italy, and started playing guitar at the age of 8 thanks to the Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd records that his father made him listen to. Later he was introduced to Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth and death metal! After playing clubs in Milan as a cover band he decided to completely leave the instrument because he was bored with what he was playing. A few years ago, he took up the guitar again with the aim of producing music without filters and without the influences of other musicians. Thus, was born the Soul Reborn project in which you can find all of his ideals, dreams, nightmares and above all his passion for the music that accompanied him through life.

CADAVERIA RELEASE VIDEO FOR "SILVER RAIN"

PRESS RELEASE:

Italian horror metal veterans CADAVERIA unveil their latest video for "Silver Rain". The dark and atmospheric new hymn is taken from the band's sixth full-length record "Emptiness", out now via Time To Kill Records.

Watch the video HERE.  

Frontwoman Cadaveria comments: "We want to thank you all for the great feedback you are giving us on the 'Emptiness' album! This video is dedicated to those who, finding themselves in adversity, have learned to dance in the rain, without waiting for the storm to end. Surely someone will see in some scenes an explicit homage to David Lynch, who has always been our mentor in the language of cinema, and to the recently deceased Julee Cruise".

Whether you call them horror, gothic or dark metal, one thing is certain: in their 20+ years career CADAVERIA have become one of the most iconic bands of the Italian metal scene.

"Emptiness" tracklist:

01 - The Great Journey (04.55)

02 - Shamanic Path (05.10)

03 - Emptiness (05.00)

04 - The Woman Who Fell to Earth (05.52)

05 - Divination (03.07)

06 - Matryoshcada (05.09)

07 - Silver Rain (04.24)

08 - The Cure (04.52)

09 - Life After (04.35)

10 - La Casa dell'Anima (04.55)

11 - The Sky That Screams Above Us (05.33)

12 - * Return (04.04) - Deine Lakaien cover

*bonus track, on the vinyl version only

CADAVERIA is the creative alter-ego of Italian-based metal singer Raffaella Rivarolo, better known by her stage name Cadaveria, one of the first women to hit the extreme metal scene in the early Nineties.

CADAVERIA band was founded in 2001 by Cadaveria herself and drummer Marçelo Santos, to freely express themselves as musicians and extreme artists.

Since CADAVERIA’s debut album The Shadows' Madame (2002) the band’s style is labeled Horror Metal. Their personal sound is imbued with gloomy and sinister atmospheres and it mixes Black Metal with classical Heavy Metal, Death Metal and Gothic influences. The lyrics, scheming, hermetic and introspective, mirror the dark soul and the vexed personality of the singer Cadaveria.

2021 is a meaningful one for CADAVERIA band, as the band celebrate its 20 years of activity. A career that boasts five full length albums, some reissues, an EP (with Necrodeath), a retrospective double DVD and a huge support from fans of Central America, where CADAVERIA have made a series of headlining tours, between 2007 and 2015.

From 2012 on, with the release of the most recent albums Horror Metal and Silence, CADAVERIA have been engaged in many live dates that have seen them protagonists of different stages in Russia, Germany, France, Belgium, Romania, as well as numerous Italian shows as headliner and in support of Cradle of Filth, Arch Enemy and many more.

CADAVERIA have recently released a series of new singles, that mark the band's return to the scene after a long pause, during which the singer had to be treated for cancer.

CARCERI RELEASE "FROM SOURCE TO END"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

From the beginning an ending was decreed; our time was always finite and we were always destined to tumble into the flames at the end of the road. There will be no gentle descent into eternal sleep; we shall be impaled upon the spikes of folly, torn upon the racks of shame as our aeons of weakness and sin are weighed against our blackened, cowardly hearts. Save your beseeching tears and prepare for pain, for the termination in terror promised at our first breath...

Dutch death metal masters Carceri have seen the future and know that it is both bleak and black. With nihilistic new album From Source To End, their first release in more than a decade, they hammer the nails of destruction home with merciless, relentless power. Seething, monstrous tracks like ‘Eminent Demise’ leave no stone unturned, no sanctuary inviolate as they preach their gospel of devastation. Now fronted by renowned extreme metal vocalist Robbe Kok (Disavowed, Arsebreed etc) Carceri have delivered a veritable beast of classic death metal with From Source To End. Enticing, melodic guitar solos spiral upwards from the ironclad riffs and the panzer engine roar of the rhythm section, while barbed hooks sink deep allowing no escape from the magnificent war-torn tumult. By capturing the essence of death metal’s glory days and imbuing those sounds with a fresh ferocity Carceri have carved out a charismatic beast of an album whose claws will plunge into the rotten hearts of fans everywhere. The superb artwork created by Jon Zig (Defeated Sanity, Deeds Of Flesh etc) is like a banner, a call to arms, promising that might and mystery, death and desolation lie within.

​With production duties being handled by vocalist Robbe Kok (Officium Triste, Houwitser etc) and drums being recorded by Dave Schinkel (Ayreon, Epica etc) From Source To End sounds both vibrant and venomous. This is one incredible return to action from Carceri and with Brutal Mind disseminating their darkness throughout the world this will undoubtedly prove to be their most successful campaign to date. Watch the horizon, because the death metal war machine is coming!

ONE MIND MINISTRY RELEASE "GATES OF TIME"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

From the heart of the deepest darkness. Out of the black void, achieved by masterful usage of black magick the 

ONE MIND MINISTRY

Has been conjured. Born again nothing but dead, bedded on the rotten tombs of the dark coal mining fields below the Ruhr Area that brought iconic bands like Sodom and Kreator to this world. Originally founded in 2009 in Bochum as some kind of nu skool Death Metal band the shape began to change in the following years. With the departure of every founding member except KAOS (WRACK), but thanks to the summoning of HAVOC (ERZ, WRACK, ex-Thyrgrim,ex-Magoth,  ex-Abstinenz, Zwielicht [Session]) and SACUL, the sound changed and grew into some  monster that could be named as Blackened Death Metal.

With the leaving of Aeleth Kaven back in 2015,  the whitchery was over and the One Mind Ministry was taken to grave- for years...

With the unforseen appearance of SKULLSPLITTER (ex-Excecrate, ex-Sabiendas, ex-Debt Of Nature, ex-Nocturnal Blasphemies), the time has come to crush the world of the living once again - but painfuller than ever before!

Since late 2020´s the Line up is finally complete with the joining of Al Sahmut (Permadeth, Orphalis [Session]) at the Bass which is a longtime friend of the band. 

One Mind Ministry has played shows with  Bands like:

Kraanium, Stillbirth, Sagrotanon, Orphalis, Kadavrik, Deus Inversus, Obscure Infinity and many more… 

With sounds supporting your occult rites featuring fast and unforgiving guitars supported by mid and high tempo blasts, cut by bright and painful screams as well as dark and deep growls accompanied by a massive bass foundation this has everything to let this fucking world go down!!
