In Darkness Alone is the third full length release from SCARS OF THE FLESH, featuring five brand new original tracks plus four cover songs. Seething with dark melodic atmosphere, this new album dives deeper into the elements that SOTF outlined with their first two releases, all the while expanding upon 2017's Harvest of Souls and 2020's Reaching into the Void.

Bringing epic song structures, mixed with brutality, melody and sheer emotion, In Darkness Alone sets to make a definitive mark in a genre already defined by many great bands, yet without sounding like mere mimicry.

BIO:

Scars of the Flesh is a Melodic Blackened Death Metal Band from San Antonio, TX, created in 2014 by Guitarists Bryan Eckermann (Solo Artist, ex-Wings of Abaddon), Derek Russell and Vocalist Kobey Lange (Cerebral Desecration, ex-Wings of Abaddon). Their debut album Harvest of Souls was released in 2017 to a wide positive online reaction, 20,000+ views on the Youtube stream and many album sales encouraged the members to push the band forward. 2020 saw the release of the second album Reaching into the Void, still crafted by only the three members alone, but a first live show was booked with fill-in members on drums and bass to celebrate the release and finally bring the band to the stage. Immediately after, Covid became a reality, and had prevented much progress throughout the next year and a half. But the work continued, and a new full lineup was soon in place with adding Collyn Rios (Cerebral Desecration, Black Jackal) on drums, and Robert O'Briant (The Hanged Man's Curse, ex-Wings of Abaddon) on bass. Kicking off their return to the stage, was a battle for the Wacken festival in Texas as well as several other local shows. Now in November 2022 they return with their third album In Darkness Alone, featuring five new original tracks as well as four cover songs. Mixing a perfect blend of dark atmosphere, melody and brutality. This new release looks to carve the name Scars of the Flesh into the minds of all...

BLOODRIDE RELEASE VIDEO FOR "HATE OF HATRED"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish Thrashers BLOODRIDE Unleash Rough Video for 'Hate of Hatred'!

Finnish BLOODRIDE have unleashed a rough video for 'Hate of Hatred', taken from the band's 4th album "Idiocracy", released via Great Dane Records in 2021.

BLOODRIDE on 'Hate of Hatred':

"The video for Bloodride's song Hate Of Hatred is about hating hate. A topic that has been relatively difficult to describe in a video. Of course, it's a somewhat difficult topic anyway. The material was filmed during the covid period, i.e. when we didn't see each other with the band for more than a year. So because of this, only photos of the band were used in filming. In this way, a band video could be made without the presence of the band - of course, it allowed for a bit rougher material as well."

Watch the video at https://youtu.be/YlXESNQyOh0

- Video editing by Film Doc 

- Videomaterial by the Thrashing Madness

- Video editing supported by the culture of the city of Lapua.

Furthermore, the band is currently working on new material for their upcoming album. More information TBA.

ESTRANGEMENT RELEASE "DISFIGUREMENTALITY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Australian funeral doom metal meets classical music act ESTRANGEMENT are now proudly releasing their brand new single "Detritivore", which is taken from the band's upcoming album "Disfigurementality", due out November 25th 2022 via Aesthetic Death.

"Detritivore" is now streaming at Toilet Ov Hell. Check it out HERE.

The first single "The Light Unshown" is still available at THIS LOCATION.

Funereal-Flamenca-Nuclear-Jazz-Fusion-End-of-World Music - an eclectic doom metal masterpiece.

Aesthetic Death label manager Stu Gregg states:

"JS is not only a man of infinite wisdom and creativity – but a man of his word. Following the split (with Begrabnis, Weird Truth, 2016) he said he had an album brewing inside, with some great ideas. Following the excellent work on display in ESTRANGEMENT’s demo (2014) and split, it was certainly something that grabbed my interest.

We agreed to work on this together, spat on our palms and shook hands – an oath not to be broken. Years later that agreement comes to fruition.

'Disfigurementality' has been a highly anticipated release within the extreme doom scene – with many fans of the genre recognising the potential of this unique band.

The album brings together and melds various styles, with authentic traces of classical music, black metal, jazz fusion and even flamenco – however, at its core, 'Disfigurementality' remains a piece of extreme doom excellence.

ESTRANGEMENT have managed to solidify and expand upon the creativity of previous works, both through composition but also musically through the use of of flute, violin and double bass through the album. The string arrangements range from the soaring and sublime, to the excruciatingly harsh.

Another notable feature of the album is the wide range of vocals – from the extreme doom growls that JS has as a trademark – yet notably the use of howling violent screams, to throat singing, to liturgical chant, all forging different emotions throughout the album.

'Disfigurementality' has the melancholic beauty of My Dying Bride, it has the obscure darkness of Unholy – but it has much more to explore. It is an album of beauty, beguilement and darkness. It will lead you on a journey filled with abrupt changes, seductive tangents and crushing heaviness. It demands the attention that should be given to any great album – go with its unique flow and be richly rewarded.

Not only have ESTRANGEMENT created a fantastic full length debut album – they have created an album that will establish them as leaders in the extreme doom genre, and beyond".

For fans of: Esoteric, My Dying Bride, Dissection, Skepticism, (early) Samael

Tracklist:

01. Destitution Stench

02. Detritivore

03. Belong Beneath

04. The Light Unshown

DANICIDE RELEASE NEW TRACK "WAR ZONE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: November 1st - 2022

FFO: Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom

Location: Paraguay

Danicide is an artist and multi-instrumentalist based in Paraguay. His sound sets the bar higher by combining influences from different genres into a really innovative, yet heavy and raw formula. His instrumental songs are actually a fantastic example of what it means to keep an open mind without compromising; straddling the line between metal, alternative music, and industrial in a very seamless way. Not only is Danicide’s music so direct and unapologetic-ally fast, but it is also very accomplished in terms of production. Each instrument is purposefully arranged within the mix, meaning that Danicide isn’t only trying to “fill in the empty spaces,” but rather uses sounds and different tonal qualities to create a dark gothic texture.

METHANE RELEASE "KILL IT WITH FIRE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: January 27, 2023

FFO: Onslaught, Pantera, Slayer, Kreator

Location: Stockholm, Sweden

Presave now! https://smarturl.it/methanepresave

The album reverberates unapologetic thrash metal guitar riffing courtesy of guitarists Jimi Masterbo and Markus Grundstrom paired with the intense drumming of newly inducted drummer Jonathan Fundin . The album also features a colaboration with CJ Scioscia from New York City area thrash legends Blood Feast , who shreds a solo on track 5 ' A Blood Red Sky '.

Tim commented in a press release "The lyrics for the album have a darkened tone of irony about our contemporary societal woes and some deeply personal songs as well, of life and all its miseries. The music on the album sounds brutal, we really got a sick mix of old school thrash and heavy pit provoking groove riffs."

METHANE - THIN THE HERD OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

The music video depicts today's society, social media junkies hopped up Facebook likes. The idea for the song came from a day Tim was going through his friends list, deleting people that had no reason to be there. " I was culling them, deleting someone from your page is worse than death for some people. I think we are all going fuckin' crazy. Its a virus and we're all infected"

Formed in 2018 by Nick Sagias on bass and vocals (Tribe of Pazuzu, Soulstorm, Overthrow, ex-Pestilence) and his brother John Sagias on drums (Soulstorm, Abyss) along with guitarists Ethan Bolduc (Jaww, Abyss), and Rick Kowalski (Soulstorm, Bound By Defiance), Toronto's Nihilist Death Cult will be unleashing their debut album entitled "Death To All Tyrants" this coming December.

The album features nine quick strikes to the jugular of hardcore death punk recorded and mixed by Scott Middleton (ex-Cancer Bats). It's short and sweet with a running time of just under 15 minutes, but it delivers a full dose of whiplash and speedy licks.

Earlier this summer, the band unveiled the album's title track, a song about the underdog stepping up to the tyrant and winning.

"Scott was excellent to work with and helped us a lot with hearing things we didn’t hear before, that’s what a good producer does and it was a great experience working with him. After we heard the final mixes, there was the daunting task of picking the first track we would use for the lyric video and be the first thing anyone heard of us as a "new" band. We eventually settled on 'Death To All Tyrants' because it felt like it set the tone for both the sound and lyrical message we were trying to get across with NDC. We are not trying to be political or force our opinions, but we still feel we are responsible for some substance in our lyrics and I feel the messages in the lyrics are universal ideas that affect all of us in many types of situations and cultures." adds Nick Sagias.

Nihilist Death Cult was born after the ending of Toronto underground legends Soulstorm, of which Nick Sagias was a founding member.

"I felt it in my heart that I needed to get back to the roots, the fast styles I grew up on, punk, thrash, death metal after I ended Soulstorm in 2016, so I started writing in the style of death metal for what I was going to eventually call my other band Tribe of Pazuzu. During the writing phase in 2017/2018, I came up with the name Nihilist Death Cult first for this other new death metal project, after letting that sit for a month or two I realized it was a more punk-sounding name and I already had a handful of riffs in the hardcore punk style that I ended up arranging and being the first 5 songs for NDC. I sent them to my brother John and he liked it right away and was down to make it happen, which was awesome because I always loved his dbeat style and feel of drumming."

Relentless savage hardcore death punk grind, Nihilist Death Cult should appeal to most fans of band members' previous and current endeavours, whether it be Jaww, Abyss, Overthrow, Soulstorm, Tribe of Pazuzu (ft. Flo Mounier (drums -Cryptopsy), John McEntee - guitar, Incantation - first two EPs). "Death To All Tyrants" is meant to bring back the anger, the fire, and the brooding fast music meant to be in punk and metal.

"This album is about how the corporate sponsored news media feeds you the stories and ideas they are paid to push… it’s about the victims standing up to the tyrants… it’s about choosing your own path and not blindly following norms if they don’t suit you." says Nick Sagias.

Live, fans can expect seasoned veterans to go up on stage and put on a show to match the energy of their extreme music that's ferocious and devastating.

Recommended for fans of Poison Idea, early DRI, early Bad Brains, Nails, Terrorizer and CroMags, Nihilist Death Cult's album "Death To All Tyrants" is due out on December 2, 2022.
