After four years of silence, The Howling Void finally returns with his 8th full length album of glacial, orchestral funeral doom. “Into Darkness Ever More Profound” will be released in January 2023 by the Armenian doom metal label Funere.

After several years of experimenting with the synthesis of funeral doom and dark folk, The Howling Void returned to its roots in 2019 with “Bleak and Everlasting”, an album that discarded the folk elements and clean singing and returned to the crawling orchestral funeral doom style that the band is known for.

“Into Darkness Ever More Profound” continues down this dark path, placing an even greater emphasis than before on layers of lead guitar harmonies that meander slowly against a backdrop of The Howling Void’s signature majestic synths. Thematically, The Howling Void continues to explore a deep fascination with death and all of the mysteries associated with it. The new album will take listeners on a slow walk down extremely dark paths, meditating all the while on the peace and beauty associated with the cessation of life and all of its noise and absurdity.

The album cover and design of booklet consists of works by American artist Ralph Albert Blakelock. Which perfectly complement the songs and create a single whole.

BASTARD SWORD RELEASE "DEMO 2022"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Demo 2022

by Bastard Sword

Tracklist:

1.The Outtakes - Aeturnis 04:05

2.The Outtakes - Scumbag 04:49

3.Pangratic Life Complete - Il Gigante 05:43

4.Pangratic Life Complete - Tenbones 03:32

5.Pangratic Life Complete - Ghost in the Beehive 05:30

This is the inaugural demo of Bastard Sword, a doom band from Athens, Greece. It consists of two chapters.

Chapter one (THE OUTTAKES), includes two early demos for tracks intended for our upcoming album. For various reasons, they did not end up in the album, but the demos are in pretty good shape. We still love both of them, so here they are, for your (dubious) ear pleasure.

Chapter two, is a set of raw live recordings of three tracks from our upcoming debut album (coming out in April 2023 via Sound Effect Records). On December 23, 2022, right before the holiday season went full swing, the band met in Feedback Studios in Pangrati, Athens to live for the very first time.

At that point, we had not even played a gig together, so this was kind of a big deal to us.

Dime St helped us set up and let us play as loud as we wanted (which is very). The result is the three noisy, rowdy and vibrant tracks in this demo. They were rudimentary mixed, with no edits, comps or overdubs, in the hope that the real experience we felt in that studio is still there for you. We dubbed this session PANGRATIC LIFE COMPLETE, as it was the first real milestone we achieved as a band (and we just can't resist a Sleep reference)

released December 23, 2022

"The Outtakes" recorded, mixed and produced by Bastard Sword.

"Pangratic Life Complete" recorded live and mixed by Dime St (Dimitris Tsakmakis) at Feedback Studio, Athens.

HELLCRASH RELEASE "DEMONIC ASSASSINATIÖN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Demonic Assassinati​ö​n

by Hellcrash

Tracklist:

01. Intro

02. Volcanic Outburst

03. Okkvlthammer 03:24

04. Satan's Crypt

05. Usurper of Hell

06. Abyss of Lucifer

10. Demonic Assassinatiön

11. Outro

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HELLCRASH’s highly anticipated second album, Demonic Assassination, on CD, music cassette and vinyl LP formats. 

Despite forming in 2013 and a couple demos and a split over those first few years, it wasn’t until HELLCRASH’s debut album, Krvcifix Invertör, where the band started to make a dark name for itself. Released on vinyl by DYING VICTIMS in 2021, Krvcifix Invertör proved HELLCRASH were a power-trio in the grand tradition of domestic legends Bulldozer, brewing a similarly sleazy (and EVIL) style of speed metal. Simple but sublime it was, and diehards definitely took notice. 

Now, two years later, arrives HELLCRASH’s second album, Demonic Assassination. On first glance (and especially THAT COVER), it would seem that HELLCRASH are sticking to their guns, sowing the same seeds as earliest Slayer, Venom, and of course Bulldozer. Peer deeper and this latest expurse of sodomy shows that there’s more – much more – to HELLCRASH’s cauldron. Immediately, their attack’s more refined here: some would call it “cleaning up,” but the fine-tuning of songcraft and polishing of production have paid off in spades across Demonic Assassination. As such, there’s far more variation in that songcraft – sometimes more speed metal, other times more thrash, or even metalpunk before it was such a thing, often all in the same song – and HELLCRASH ably finesse this transition with tighter execution that, thankfully, doesn’t sacrifice an ounce of energy. In fact, if there’s on guiding aspect here, it’s energy: while HELLCRASH sometimes seem on the verge of self-combustion, so juiced-up is their rollercoaster sound, it all spills over into the listener as a celebration of filth, fury, and FUN. Could this be their The Final Separation? Perhaps… 

Still sick, still sleazy, and definitely still crude & rude, HELLCRASH are firing on ALL cylinders here, and not just the old ones. So, while the aforementioned references still apply, Demonic Assassination is equally recommended for maniacs of later GBH, Carnivore, Warfare, Crumbsuckers, and contemporaries Children of Technology.

14.Weed Smoker's Dream

July 2021. Pandemics was still hitting hard the entire globe, specially Brazil, where deaths exceeded the 30 thousand. Local death metal big guns NervoChaos were home for far too long. Being used to tour most of the year and not having that chance, due to Covid-19 related constrictions, the band had a brand new album entirely written and ready to record, even before their current album at that time, “All Colors Of Darkness”, hit the shelves.

Not ones to wait for the perfect music industry timing or sit on their arses, the Brazilians got themselves in the Abracadaver Studio, with producers Addasi Adassi and Adriano Daga (Angra, Almah, Torture Squad, etc) and recorded what was to be their next album. “Chthonic Wrath” was born.Merely two months later, American producer Brendan Duffey, which worked previously with Nervosa, Angra and Andre Matos – to name just a few – got the 14 tracks to mix and master, and was utterly impressed. What NervoChaos achieved with “Chthonic Wrath” was their death metal essence, in all its brutality and technical prowess glory, but with hints of a renewed energy and heaviness.

How could a group in their 26th year as a band be so hungry for more, passionated about death metal and still motivated enough to dig up riffs so vile, rhythm patterns so vicious and vocal attacks so violent that shake the listener to the ground? On top of it all, the subtle melody nuances and the superb acoustic guitar interlude (aptly named “Tomb Mold”) recorded by Brazilian traditional music researcher Ricardo Vignini. NervoChaos might be an experienced band with thousands of accumulated stage hours. Some might even call them “old”.

But they're nowhere near their descent of the central role in Brazilian – and South American – death metal and they keep firing all cylinders when it comes to no bullshit, truly angry extreme music.The band gained cult status in the music scene due to their hard work over the past 26 years, offering a sonic extravaganza in their unique way.

The group has tenth full-length studio albums out, being the latest one “All Colors Of Darkness” - their first for Emanzipation Productions – released in 2022. NervoChaos is also constantly touring worldwide to support their releases, doing around 100 concerts per year – from clubs to big festivals, with everything in between.

VARMIA RELEASE "PROLOG"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: VARMIA

Album (EP): Prolog

Country: Poland

Genre: Pagan Black Metal

Label: M-Theory Audio

Release date: January 6th, 2023

VARMIA was formed in 2016 by composer Lasota with a mission of fusing black metal with musical influences that pay tribute to the ancient Baltic tribes of the historical Warmia region of northern Poland. Vocally, harsh growls shroud the band's music and native Polish lyrics in a visceral aura, the only breaks occurring when using the traditional, ancient technique of “whitevoice” clean singing as utilized during ancient East-Central European rituals, rites of passage and festivals. Meanwhile, the power of the band's metal influences are enhanced by traditional ethnic instrumentation of the Baltic Rites via sounds of tagelharpa, goat horn, wood tuba and krivula. The final result is a compelling mix of dark metallic sounds that channel the spirit of early Enslaved, Satyricon and Wolves in the Throne Room and folk elements that drive acts such as Wardruna and Heilung.

VARMIA has released three albums to date – 2017's ‘Z mar twych,’ 2018's ‘W ciele nie’ and 2021’s international release, ‘bal Lada,’ their first collaborating with M-Theory Audio. The group records all of their music in culturally significant remote locations throughout their native Poland.

More information on VARMIA and the upcoming release of the ‘Prolog’ EP will be unveiled by M-Theory Audio in the weeks to come, and by VARMIA at www.facebook.com/varmiaband.
