EREBOROS TO RELEASE FIRST TRACK OF "EREBOROS" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In Greek mythology, Erebos represents the deep darkness conceived as a primordial deity, the personification of darkness—one that was born of chaos.

Their first self-titled EP (EREBOROS), has five songs that will be released in the second half of 2022 on all streaming platforms in singles format.

The song's main subject is the questioning of the negationist "modus operandi" and the moralistic ties of today's society. Always seeking poetic depth and critical themes such as philosophy and occultism, the lyric of EREBOROS is used as a tool of enlightenment and freedom.

The songs were produced independently by the band members, recorded at Tellus Studio, Rio de Janeiro, between January and April 2022, and mixed and mastered by producer Caio Mendonça (also Guitarist). The cover arts were made by Iuri Corvalan, a great artist located in the northeast of Brazil.

Currently, the musicians are focused on excelling in launching their debut and giving their best in this new endeavor.

The new path is not just a metaphysical question of death and rebirth in the eternal cycle of renewal of Hermetic philosophy. It is traveled through the surrender of flesh and soul.

Hailing from Groningen, The Netherlands, the epic black metal duo Ravenwiek tells tales of faded glory, hidden realms and majestic nature.

Inspired by genre pioneers Bathory and Summoning as well as more recent bands such as Caladan Brood and Grima, Ravenwiek’s debut record "Barren Grounds" combines folk instruments, raw black metal guitars and orchestral soundscapes in order to create a spiraling pathway to worlds beyond...

The album is about the journey of one soul who loses it all. His birthground due to battle, his kin by trickery in the forest, his mind in the harshness of nature and thus ends it all in the end as the wish to bare more has been deminished.

"With this album Indren aims to describe the emotional transition from autumnal nature into winter times. This concept came from lonely walks into the autumnal woods: the contrast between colorful leaves and the cold embrace of winter's mist and winds; the rising of the night in the blood red twilight skies.

Indren takes its name from a glacier on the Monte Rosa (mountain of ice in an ancient dialect) and its a tribute to the valley in which I was born (Valsesia) whose nature continues to inspire me".

KRANKHEIT SIGNS WITH WORMHOLEDEATH RECS.

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Wormholedeath is honored to announce that Austrian Dark Metal outfit KRANKHEIT have signed a licensing deal with Wormholedeath for their album "Gargantua", which will be released on September 30th, 2022.

After four years, two of them dominated by a pandemic and a challenging anniversary, with internal band restructuring, KRANKHEIT are back with a new album. "Gargantua", the successor to the third work "Zerberus", sings about the dark sides and abysses in a typical KRANKHEIT manner and forms a mirror of the current events of our contemporary history.

It is named after the character Gargantua from the novels by François Rabelais. An insatiable giant who vomits in greed and gluttony on the people and depicts a pastiche of them. KRANKHEIT manage to stay true to their trademarks and at the same time venture into new musical realms. Martially driving guitar riffs as in "Kommunikation" reflect the usual catchy level of hardness of the band. Lyrically, the most important and most burning topic of all at the moment is put to the test here in the programmatically titled piece. Songs like "Gargantua" and "Müll" show that it's becoming even more aggressive in general, which are interspersed with blast beats and shredding guitars. With "Bett des Prokrustes" and "Ave Maria" KRANKHEIT show again that they are masters of their craft and plant themselves excellently in well-known classical compositions. The symbiosis between classic and dark metal is extensively celebrated and driven to extremes by "Neid" with its brutal ending. There are bluesy touches in “Exorzist”, to which Andres Vargas, singer of the black metal band “Thy Antichrist”, lends his haunting voice. The limits of the interpersonal relationship demons get a new face here. "Gargantua" takes the creation of KRANKHEIT to the next level and prepares the ground for an eventful and complex future.

To fans who pre-order the whole album, the single for “Kommunikation” become available!!

Founded in 2011, the Austrian dark metal band KRANKHEIT are gradually working their way into the metal/goth scene. It is characteristic of the band's style to resurrect old pieces and melodies from bygone eras (e.g. Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, etc.) and to combine them with the very own KRANKHEIT sound.

Earlier press comment on the band's sound:

"...this results in completely independent songs that break all categorization boundaries and give birth to something unique..." Orkus Magazin (GER)

After the first three albums "Sanatorium" (2013), "Saat des Bösen" (2016), and "Zerberus" (2018), they take the next hit into the abyss of humanity with "Gargantua" (2022).

The grotesque and highly acclaimed live performances with bands such as Nachtblut, Ost+Front, and Megaherz, as well as numerous festivals such as "Nova Rock", "Hexentanz Festival", "Die Elbe brennt" and many more also give them a solid reputation brought in as a band that not only delivers show after show, but also a band whose stage performance resonates long after a concert is over.

Earlier press comment on the band's live performances:

"The abstract, zombie-like performance and the scary, menacing appearance of the musicians immediately create a very unique atmosphere." Musikmag.de (GER)
