CANDLEMASS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM "SWEET EVIL SUN"
PRESS RELEASE:
Grammy-Nominated Epic Doom Legends CANDLEMASS Announce New Album, Sweet Evil Sun, out November 18, 2022 via Napalm Records
Pre-Order Starts Now!
First Single “Scandinavian Gods” + Official Music Video Out Now | Watch Here!
CANDLEMASS return to their roots with the supreme Sweet Evil Sun!
Swedish godfathers of epic doom metal, CANDLEMASS, have returned to continue their unmatched legacy. With their new album, Sweet Evil Sun, out November 18, 2022 via Napalm Records, they are ready to prove once again that they reign as one of the heaviest metal bands on earth, bringing epic doom to the world of metal.
Alongside the new album’s pre-order kickoff, CANDLEMASS - purveyors of legendary albums like Epicus Doomicus Metallicus and Nightfall - have released a monumental new single and video, “Scandinavian Gods”, kicking things off with a hammer blow. The single and video stomp in with a dark, Nordic metal chant driven by slow and heavy drums, droning guitars and majestic vocals that convey mysterious tales of Scandinavian mythology to the next generation!
CANDLEMASS' driving force Leif Edling on “Scandinavian Gods”:
“'Scandinavian Gods' is Slayer meets Queen and Judas Priest! It's about heritage and future and the fact that It is sometimes absolutely necessary to leave or at least doubt your old gods. It's about the hardship in this, and the irony in the fact that you see yourself being drawn back to them over and over again, into these black circles and the forgetfulness of the past.
Where do we wanna be? What shall we believe in? Do we need them to build a better future?”
Watch the official music video for “Scandinavian Gods” HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIdEdZ9i-x8
After working on this massive piece of art for 18 months in total, with Sweet Evil Sun, CANDLEMASS brings back all the grandness of their early years, exploring themes of ambition and strife, hope and failure. It comes as no surprise that, alongside the band, renowned producer Marcus Jidell captured the band’s massive, smoky guitar tones, powerful drums and larger-than-life vocals, offering a truly unique, high quality sonic experience.
Recorded at NOX studio in Stockholm, Sweden, Sweet Evil Sun impressively showcases that, after almost 40 years in the game, the creativity of these Swedish doom masters sees no bounds. Through the power of wall-shaking riffs, incredible vocal performances and the blood and spirit of classic heavy metal, Sweet Evil Sun shines as a masterpiece of impending legend that truly honors the epic doom metal cult of CANDLEMASS.
The artwork for Sweet Evil Sun was illustrated by the skilled hand of Erik Rovanperä, the architect behind CANDLEMASS’ visual style since Psalms for the Dead (2012)
Leif Edling on the new album:
“Sweet Evil Sun is about hope, striving, adoration and failure. It's about all the personal battles that you have, but also the never-ending decay of humanity.
The record took over a year to make and there's not a bad track on it! We had a fantastic time recording it and are really looking forward to the release. It's Doom, It's Metal! It is the essence of CANDLEMASS put into one album!”
Pre-Order your copy of Sweet Evil Sun NOW!
Opening track “Wizard Of The Vortex” instantly casts a spell with a riff so powerful, the listener is immediately ensnared. Title track “Sweet Evil Sun” kicks in with warning guitar feedback before sludging a heavy-as-hell riff as Johan Langquist deftly warbles through melancholic, beckoning passages and a hooky chorus. His imposing vocals fit each riff and tone perfectly, emerging as an instrument in itself. Jennie-Ann Smith (Avatarium) lends her beautiful voice to the theatrical, grim "When Death Sighs”, creating a shimmering, intermingled chorus duet eventually backed by rising organs and a marching rhythm. The haunting atmosphere is highlighted by an amazing guitar solo that reads like a story as it bends and descends, marking the sign of death on the listener’s door.

Diabolical Raw entered the Turkish Exteme Metal scene in Izmir in 1998 with the name "Diabolical". During the late 90's and early 2000's, many unforgettable stage performances in Izmir and other cities made the band heard throughout the all country. In 2005, their first EP record “Daimonion” was released. The problems experienced due to the frequent change of band members continued throughout the recordings of “Daimonion” and in the period after the release of the record. As a result of this situation, which often slowed down the album work and could not be overcome, the band stopped its work in 2007.
In 2019, the band started working again with Ozan Tunç (Drums) and Ozan Erkmen (Vocals) from the last line-up. Having used the name Diabolical since 1998, the band chose to change it to Diabolical Raw. With this small change, it was aimed to keep the legacy of everyone who has worked for the band from past to present, and to make a strong new beginning and to herald the band's fans.
The creation process of the album "Estrangement", which started in March 2019, was completed in May. The album, consisting of nine songs, one of which is instrumental, Intro and Outro, was recorded in Izmir. All Instrument and Orchestration recordings, Mixaj and Mastering were made by Ozan Tunç. As the concept theme in the story of the album; It describes a schizophrenic character, who is alienated from society and whose hatred towards him intensifies over time, isolates himself from people, turns into a serial killer in the ongoing process, and is caught between his own character and the struggle of many evil characters he has created in his mind, with intense metaphors and a poetic way.
After the completion of the recordings, the Cover Art work started with Ozan Erkmen's new logo design, and the Booklet design was completed with the joint cooperation of Umut Sergin, Kurtuluş Fenercioğlu, Ozan Erkmen and Mukadder Karaoğlan. After completing all the materials necessary for the album, the band signed with the Japanese label Hidden Marly Production. The album was released on September 25, 2019.
Diabolical Raw started working on the second album after a year passed; but unfortunately, they slowed down their work due to the pandemic that put the whole world music market into a deep crisis. However the work on second album continued slowly but surely. In the fall of 2021, the recording of the second album "Elegy Of Fire Dusk" was completed. As the first album, all instruments and orchestration were recorded by Ozan Tunc. And again in the second album, Mixing and Mastering were done by Ozan Tunc.
After the front cover work of Elegy Of Fire Dusk was completed with Mukadder Karaoğlan's magnificent creation, the band signed with Spanish label Base Record Production. Elegy Of Fire Dusk have 13 songs in total, two of which are instrumental. Diabolical Raw wrote the lyrics for the second album, again based on a theme. Vocalist Ozan Erkmen wrote a short story using ancient Central Asian Turkish mythology. The story that develops around Kaygun, the daughter of a small Clan Leader, Aykora has many epic details such as Gods, bad and good spirits, the underworld, heroic stories, which are known in Ancient Central Asian Turkish Mythology.
On April 16, 2022, the album's first single "Face the Judgment" met the audience on youtube and Bandcamp online platforms and was met with intense interest from the fans. Many Symphonic Extreme Metal fans, especially the fans of the band, are waiting excitedly for "Elegy Of Fire Dusk" to be released on September 25, 2022.

METEORA RELEASE "... OF SHADES AND COLOURS"
PRESS RELEASE:
Band: Meteora
Album: …of Shades and Colours
Country: Hungary
Genre: Symphonic Metal
Label: H-Music
Release date: September 6, 2022
Hungarian symphonic metal band Meteora announce their third full-length album ’…of Shades and Colours’.
Band comments:
We proudly announce our third studio album ’…of Shades and Colours’, being released early September this year! Featuring 13 tracks in total, including three orchestral intro songs, this album is our most ambitious record so far. Showcasing all the colours of the band we invite our listeners to a journey through power, gothic and death metal all wrapped in heavy orchestration. We expanded on the three vocal setup that we started on ’Tragedy of Delusion’, with Noémi being the heart and soul of the music, accompanied by the beastly growls of Máté, and powerful vocals of Atilla. As always the music incorporates grand choirs, delivered this time by KVVKamarakórus, led by the phenomenal Viktor Magyaróvári, and with whom you may be familiar from our re-released version of ’Our Paradise’. We had the pleasure to have Chris Harms from Lord of the Lost as a guest vocalist for the song ’Danse Macabre’, and our old friend Ádám Kurucz playing the guitar solos on the album. As always the artwork of the album was made by our long time graphic designer, István Lajcsák.

Bio:
The band started in 2010 playing covers of symphonic and gothic metal songs in the clubs of Budapest. The current line-up has been together since the debut album ’Our Paradise’ in 2017. In 2019 the band signed to Hungarian record label Nail Records (later renamed H-Music), and had their second CD released in March 2020 with that month’s issue of Hammerworld magazine. As the global pandemic of COVID-19 made it impossible to play live music, they spent the time composing songs for their third record ’…of Shades and Colours’ set to release early September in 2022.
Notable collaborations include the re-recording of the song ’Our Paradise’ in 2021 with the growls of Jonathan Pellet (Rage of Light, ex-Dysrider), and ’Danse Macabre’ in 2022 which featured Chris Harms (Lord of the Lost).

Listen: https://mosaradoom.bandcamp.com/album/only-the-dead-know-our-secrets
The band comments:
" 'Only The Dead Know Our Secrets' is being pressed on 180 gram vinyl. We've already received the test pressings and the sound is huge and bone rattling. Because of the current vinyl backlog, we are expecting to receive our vinyl around the end of October. However, until then, anyone can receive a 20% discount on a pre-order by simply entering the word wax at checkout on our Bandcamp site. This initial pressing is only limited to 200 copies and there is a hidden track "Bunny of Doom," that you can only hear via the vinyl version."
Pre-Order: https://mosaradoom.bandcamp.com/album/only-the-dead-know-our-secrets
MOSARA is a Phoenix, Arizona based doom band that was originally formed and active during the early 2000’s. In late 2018, founding vocalist/guitarist, Tony Gallegos (ENIRVA/TWINGIANT) reformed the band. The new members included guitarist Nikos Mixas (TWINGIANT), bassist Kristoffer Reynolds (BEIRA) and drummer John Quin (AUTHORITY ZERO/SECRETS OF LOST EMPIRES). MOSARA’s sound is a doom foundation that melds several different genres of heavy music to include stoner metal, classic/prog metal and atmospheric sludge.
In the fall of 2020, MOSARA started recording their first full-length, self-titled album. Mosara was recorded and mixed sans any recording software. The release was raw, authentic, and heartfelt. Mosara was released in May of 2021 via Transylvanian Recordings and was well received among several heavy music blogs and websites. The band’s brand of “atavistic doom” was what set MOSARA apart from all the other bands in its subgenre.
Only The Dead Know Our Secrets Track List:

2. Zion’s Eyes

KALMO RELEASE VIDEO FOR "TSEPVSL"
PRESS RELEASE:
TSEPVSL Is The New Official Music Video From KALMO
Taken from the album: Gehinnom | Sliptrick Records | 2021
“The last soul trapped in human flesh, his time depleting. Despair is complete, as complete as the inescapable end itself. The distorted image, reflected in the darkness at the last moment, invites the last of the lasts to step into the void. This is not an ending, but the end.”
Kalmo (‘cadaver’ in English) is a one-man metal band from Finland. The music is raw and dark doom metal, spiced with a fistful of black metal. Lyrics written in Finnish tell tales and visions about the inevitable end of this all. Kalmo feasts on influences from old school metal bands like Celtic Frost, Slayer, Death Breath, Black Sabbath and Master.
Kalmo – Gehinnom
The new album Gehinnom contains six psalms that prophecy the end of this all. Each canticle is its own piece of a story, but they all share the same sinister dark tone. With these cursed hymns, Kalmo brings you a step closer to the end. The creature has gained its power. Ready to spread it’s wings and rise to the skies. To darken the light, to darken the stars. The end is near. Nearer than ever.
