HELENA KOTINA ANNOUNCED AS SECOND GUITARIST IN NERVOSA

 

PRESS RELEASE:

NERVOSA ANNOUNCES SECOND GUITAR PLAYER

The position will be filled by guitarist Helena Kotina  In the very beginning Nervosa consisted of two guitarists, but after the departure of Karen Ramos the band decided to stay as a trio for logistics reasons. 

After the complete line-up change in 2020, Prika thought of adding a second guitarist, but she decided to do it later, there were too many new members in the band to manage alone and the line-up had already moved from 3 piece to 4 piece, rising the touring costs of the band in general, so an addition of a second guitarist had to be postponed.

Few months after the release of "Perpetual Chaos", in March of 2021, Prika called Helena to join Nervosa, since then they started composing a new album together.

At the end of 2022, Mia could not come to tour Latin America, so Prika thought of asking Helena to come to play bass and have the first touring experience with Nervosa.

Helena Kotina is a young guitar player born and raised in Greece. She picked up the guitar at the age of 14, being her main influences on bands like Scorpions, Rainbow, Deep Purple. Her professional career started by releasing the first EP of the Greek band Daffodil called 'A hope for things that never come', in the summer of 2022 she released her first personal work called 'One of those days' and later on she toured with Nervosa as a bassist in their Latin America tour. Also by the end of the year, Helena played alongside Paul Di'Anno and Gus G in their Greek tour.

Nervosa is finishing the new songs now and very soon they are going to enter the studio to record the 5th album in Nervosa's career.

Welcome Helena 🖤🤘🏻

DISMAL RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO "ALL IS ONE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The 8th Album from the Italian Dark Gothic Masters DISMAL,Via Entis will be released on January 27th 2023 via Aural Music. The album is  a mix of magical and theatrical atmospheres; a concept album in the form of musical and gothic fairy tales. Today the band has released a new taste of their upcoming opus with single and animated video "All Is One". Watch the video HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkp2JknHfgQ

About DISMAL:

DISMAL is an Italian artistic and musical project formed in 1995. The first year was dedicated to experimenting with the new musical style, aiming at originality. Love for music and alchemy became a need for expression and Our Sad Saga was their debut demo in 1996, which was printed on CD and considered a great novelty in the European underground scene. Our Sad Saga contained doom and black metal sounds, approaching the nascent gothic metal genre.  

The first full-length album was released in November 1998 via Pagan Moon Records (Audioglobe distribution), titled Fiaba Lacrimevole – Like A Red Bleeding Rose In A Glacial Desert. This album was an immediate success and soon it became a top selling album for the label. In September, 2002 DISMAL signed a long-term deal with Dreamcell11, a division of Aural Music Group, to promote the band artistically and commercially. By the end of 2002 the band entered the Gulp Studio by Marco Calliari (sound engineering of Subsonica) to record their second CD titled Rubino Liquido – Three Scarlet Drops… using a 12-element orchestra.  

Miele Dal Salice is the third album released in 2006, the band dedicated a lot of time to this record, full of bizarre and intense tones, characterized by gothic-bohemian and neofolk shades. In this new album, the band has collaborated with ROSSANA LANDI, solo singer and double bass player. After a short but intense tour in Germany and Italy, protagonists of important festivals like the Wave Gothic Treffen in Leipzig and Berlin, DISMAL took a break and Afelio (guitarist and male vocalist) left the band due to personal reasons.  

After this very long break, the band decided to enter the studio at the Punto Rec Studios with Fabrizio Argiolas (sound engineer) in 2013 to record the new album Giostra di Vapore. In this work, the band has created a new sound dimension fusing electronic sound with classical music, modern and antique meet together for a sound inspired by steampunk and the industrial revolution. The lyrics of Giostra di Vapore are always focused on topics like social psychology, alchemy and more spiritual themes. They released 6 video clips and participated in some live and big neofolk and steampunk festivals. 

DISMAL in 2019 began the composition of their fifth new concept-album Quinta Essentia, concluding the recording in July 2020 at Gulp Studio with Marco Calliari (sound engineer). The band claims to have combined all their previous work, keeping their signature Gothic and theatrical sound constant. 

In February 2022, with the new singer Caterina Accorsi (professional jazz singer), DISMAL entered the studio at Gulp Studio to record the new album, Via Entis, a return to the past, where they join to relive the path of the beginnings. 

Via Entis represents the new parallel path, made with a higher musical and cultural awareness: starting precisely from the Middle Ages and its atmospheres.

BLOODJOB from Giessen/Germany relentlessly delivers their uncompromising blend of death metal and grind since 2007. After years of dwelling in the underground and brutalizing their style with influences from slam, thrash and black metal, they released their first EPs "Scalptures of Laceration" in 2010 and "Misogynic Obsessions"  in 2012. These raw pieces of disgusting death metal offered a first taste of their trademark style consisting of sickening vocals, nasty riffs and blasting drums. The following years were characterized by several lineup changes but also powerful live performances as they shared the stage with Entombed, Lividity, Ingested, Inhumate and other well established acts. In 2019 they returned on the scene with their self-produced first album "Sick Concept Humanity" which caused international recognition and was re-released by PRC Music in 2020. In contrast to their first EPs, the lyrical themes now matured from perverted tales of horror to misanthropic reckonings with our rotten society. Following the vein of its predecessor, they recorded their new EP entitled "Metastasis" in 2022 which will also be their first release with Italian extreme metal label Lethal Scissor Records. Despite ongoing lineup changes they’re now working on their next full-length record.

NEMESISM RELEASE "NEMESISM" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Hailing from Las Vegas and featuring band members with experience in the ranks of Guttural Secrete and Cerebral Incubation, Nemesism are a brand new brutal death metal strike force looking to push the limits of the genre. Combining complex, creative song writing and deft technical dexterity with brain melting extremity and bone shattering power, Nemesism strive to deliver the ultimate in challenging, all consuming brutality. 2023 begins with their first, self titled EP and the bar has already been set for the months to come…

The Nemesism EP comprises five tracks of shocking intensity, beginning with the raging thunder of ‘Mindful Abomination’ and concluding with the devastating detonation of single ‘Delusions Of Morality’. Each element of the band unit plays a vital part in creating the magnificent, malignant maelstrom that is the Nemesism sound – the intricate bass lines that writhe and twist between the juddering earthquake guitar riffs, the stunning drum work that switches between rhythms and tempos in the moment between one breath and the next and the barbaric, primal roars of violence unleashed. Nemesis will drag you, screaming, into a metallic maze of shadows, populated by monsters, from which there is no escape. The nightmare ends when they say it ends…and until then you’ll just have to hang on and hope.

The masterful songs that make up this first EP have been given visceral, vivid blood and muscle by the expert recording, mixing and mastering skills of Ryan Wechta (Cerebral Incubation, Guttural Secrete, Invirulant etc) and the artwork which provides the enticing gateway to this realm of madness has been created by Bahrull Marta (Asagraum, Centinex, Illdisposed etc) – making Nemesism a complete and flawless payload of death. Feed your unending hunger for the extreme on January 31st when Nemesism emerge from the darkness, armed with an arsenal of weapons that take the brutal arts to a whole new level.

SHELTERED SUN RELEASE "COMANDING THE SCEPTRE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: 8-20-2022

FFO: Wintersun, Children of Bodom, Epica

Location: Vaasa, Finland

Spotify Follow: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/shelteredsun/commanding-the-sceptre-feat-viktorie-surmv

Sheltered Sun hails from Vaasa, Finland and was created to demonstrate a duality. The name was made as a personification of light and dark, comfort from the light, solace from the dark. These contrasts and abstracts define the band's nature and thematics. Formed in 2019, it consisted of guitarist Niclas Buss, composer Robin Bertlin and singer Eddie DeWitte. Viktorie Surmøvá of SURMA joined as a session singer/guest and Alfred Fridhagen Den Andre came onboard for drums. Oliver Palotai from KAMELOT and EPICA also helped to create some music to accommodate this venture. Bombastic, progressive and unique is how we would describe our sound with many influences of popular classical music and metal acts. We hope to make an impact with our fresh take on Symphonic Metal.

TRYGLAV RELEASE "THE RITUAL" - NEW SINGLE OUT NOW !!

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Tryglav's second offering "The Ritual" will be released on February 17th, 2023 via Extreme Metal Music, a subsidiary of Rockshots Records to follow the 2019 debut "Night of Whispering Souls".

Today, the Croatian one-man black metal band is unveiling the second single "The Evocation" in lead up to the sophomore album's release." The Evocation" is a black metal track, but with a little groove and melodic to add to it.

"I think "The Evocation" is a perfect song for live performance. If you want people to go crazy and wild. This is the one. It's pure energy. It's catchy, groovy, and wild plus... damn I love it!" adds Tryglav.

Listen to "The Evocation" at the following links:

Lyric Video - https://youtu.be/kUooFpcwcmY​

Digital - https://bfan.link/the-evocation​

Tryglav's sound is aggressive, melodic, modern, and emotionally epic black metal, and fans of the first album "Night of Whispering Souls" will notice a maturity in sound and lyrics on the new album "The Ritual". The album's story concept takes place in the 17th century, Tryglav explains further:

"On a dark stormy night, a dying man sighed his last breath. Nothing his parents could do to save his life. A Plague Doctor was called. Four of them showed up, taking the dead body with them. The family knew that they would never see him again. What they didn't know was that he would come back, in an unimaginable way.."

All the music on "The Ritual" was written by founder Boris Behara with vocals entrusted to vocalist Callum Wright along with mixing and mastering by producer Rocco Pezzin. The songs on the forthcoming album began their journey in 2018 as part of Behara's love for black metal and horror imagery. After many re-compositions and re-arrangements along with interruptions from the world pandemic and his personal health with two open heart surgeries, "The Ritual" will now see the light in 2023.

"This album has seen so many difficulties, but finally, after three long years, it's here! I hope fans will enjoy it just as much as I created it! If they liked my first album 'Night of Whispering Souls' they'll definitely like this one too. The formula didn't change too much. It's a black metal album full of different influences. The melody is still the central part of it."

Tryglav is recommended for fans of Dark Funeral, Dissection, and Uada.
