GODIVA RELEASE "HUBRIS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: GODIVA

Album: Hubris

Country: Portugal

Genre: Symphonic Death Metal

Release date: February 3rd, 2023

Godiva is one of the established bands of Portuguese melodic death metal scene.

The quintet formed, in 1999 Famalicão, released their first recording as a promotional CD entitled "Tales to be Untold" (2000). Followed by the EP "Traces of irony" (2002) recorded at Rec n'Roll Studios and produced by Rui Danim and Luís Barros (Tarântula). This EP was a significant mark in the band's affirmation on the scene. In 2007, "Spiral" emerges recorded at Ultrasound Studios and produced by Daniel Cardoso (Anathema) and, like its predecessor, played an important role in the band's consolidation in the Portuguese metal scene, gathering excellent reviews, national and international.

After an interregnum of 11 years, Godiva returns to the stage, debuting their new line-up and sound with a memorable concert at Vagos Metal Fest, accompanied by an orchestra of about 50 musicians and a sold out concert at Hard Rock Café Porto.

This year we were lucky, even with COVID 19 restrictions, enough to give two concerts this summer, both sold out : one in Lisbon, at RCA Club in a special edition of Laurus Nobilis Music Fest and recently on the latest edition of Riverstone Fest.

Hubris will be available worldwide at February 3rd.

HANGING GARDEN RELEASE VIDEO FOR "THE FIRESIDE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

HANGING GARDEN released new video on YouTube channel for their brand new single "The Fireside" promoting their upcoming album "The Garden".

You can watch the video here ➡ "The Fireside" video ➡ youtu.be/KyatSIo9yRY

➡ Their brand new album is available for pre-orders via Bandcamp: agoniarecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-garden

The new album - "The Garden" - dives deep into atmospheres both "tender and harsh, devilish and serene" and "embarks upon a journey to mankind's spiritual roots, contemplating the fragility of our technological society" - as poetically described by the band. "There is a kind of energy in the songs that there wasn’t before," introspects Toni Hatakka of HANGING GARDEN. "A feel of hope to contrast our old friend the despair, a strong notion of action against the familiar melancholy, or maybe a light amidst the comfortable gloom."

"The Garden", the follow-up to "Skeleton Lake" (2021), was produced by Jussi Hämäläinen (vocals, guitars) and Jarno Hänninen. The album was mixed and mastered by the latter at D-studio (Beherit, Shape of Despair). Cover artwork and new band photos are by Finnish artist Kalle Pyyhtinen. "The Garden" marks the return of new-old drummer Antti Ruokola, last seen in HANGING GARDEN seven years ago.

MALO DE DENTRO RELEASE "FOLLOW ME"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: January 13th, 2023

FFO: Anthrax, Alter Bridge, Avenged Sevenfold

Location: Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Since its founding in 2005 by drummer Malo Sixkiller, this talented group of musicians has been thrashing through song after song with the same heightened intensity, palpable excitement, and expert showmanship that has made them a staple in the local Phoenix music scene over the past 17 years. In that time, the band has seen a variety of members and styles, but has always stayed true to their heavy metal roots. At no time has that been truer than now, with the release of their highly anticipated full length 2023 album Follow Me, which includes the singles Chokehold and GFY. The current material combines groove metal and thrash, with clean, melodic vocals and soaring harmonies, while rattling the bones of their fans and keeping their heads banging.

The pandemic of 2020 almost saw the end of Malo De Dentro, but 2023 sees them back with a vengeance and tremendous new music! With the thundering rhythms of Malo Sixkiller, the rumbling low end of Cris Ridenour, and the heavy guitars and powerful vocals of Stone Martin, Malo De Dentro continues to tear up the southwest United States and beyond!

NERUMIA REÑEASE "FATAL DELIRIUM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: 10.02.21

FFO: Dissection, Morbid Angel

Country: Lausanne, SWITZERLAND

For the musicians who gather at the foot of the eternal Swiss mountains, the dawn of the nineties had given birth to some numerous bands that were very quickly disbanded but in the middle of this doldrums, two beings continued to work together, sharing ideas and fueled themselves in order to build a band that was able to express their compositions. This harsh situation lasted until the very beginning of the year 2001 when the two composers, the two souls behind these different bands enjoyed a certain situation that allowed them to give a full freedom to their project. If this dreamed band wore different names during these past times, at the year 2001, it was finally crowned by the name that will continue to light its path: NERUMIA. As soon they were only working for NERUMIA and they simply can devote themselves bodies and souls for this band, the duet composed by Pasquale “Scual” Rivetti and Philippe “Phil” Privet just took six years to reach the end of the composition and the arrangements of two famous albums: The Land of the Black (2003) and I Don’t Understand

(2007).

Sadly, In 2009, Phil Privet suffered of a very sudden and lethal illness. His demise caused a ten years hiatus for NERUMIA but during the beginning of the year 2020, a new line-up is gathered (Thanks to the arrival of Juan (UNDEAD VISION) behind the rhythmic/soloist guitar and backing vocals and Magnus (CALCINED, SERPENS LUMINIS, ENOID (live), ANCIENT MOON (live)) for the bass-guitar and backing vocals duties) and a brand new album is finished to be recorded by Pasquale “Scual” Rivetti. Hoping to take advantage of the quickness of composition and complicity that allows the trio’s formation, NERUMIA will record and play live with session musicians in addition to Scual and Juan behind the vocals and the rhythmic and soloist guitar and Flo for the bass-guitar and the backing vocals and behind the drum kit, there will be a session professional drummer. Ever more intensely for Music and for the expression of their passion, the three musicians behind NERUMIA carry on to argue against the winds and the tides that giving up is not for them, a viable and agreeable option!

SIREN RELEASE "A MERCENARY´S FATE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: October 4, 2022

FFO: Ironflame, Wings Of Steel, Midnight Dice

Location: USA

Label: FHM Records

"A Mercenary's Fate" is the second, full-length studio album from US heavy metal band, Siren., since their unexpected reunion in 2018 to perform at a prestigious festival in Germany. Their journey to regroup and perform was captured in the documentary film "I'm Too Old for This Sh*t! A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale" produced by Chris Jericho.

This new album features a total eleven new songs in the melodic, traditional heavy metal style that the band has honed since first forming in 1981. The title track of the album pays homage to their debut 7" single, "Metro-Mercenary" which was released in 1984. For the first time, the band worked with their long-time friend, legendary Producer, Jim Morris, who mixed and mastered the album at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, FL.

I'm Too Old For This Sh*t (1080p) FULL MOVIE - Documentary

Band featured in popular documentary film, “I’m Too Old for This Sh*t! A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale”, produced by Chris Jericho, celebrates their 40th anniversary with new album. [BRANDON, FLORIDA, US – FEBRUARY 6, 2023] — Sometimes a dream sneaks up on you. This has never been more true than in the case of the US heavy metal band, Siren. Four decades ago, the group formed in the Tampa Bay area of Florida which, at the time, was becoming a true hot spot for the genre. Several bands from the region such as Savatage (now TSO), Obituary, Iced Earth, Nasty Savage and others are still active and successful in the genre to this day. While Siren did have more success than many young bands from the era – releasing three demos and two, full studio albums on European labels – by 1989, things had run their course and the outfit went into indefinite hiatus. However, things took an unexpected turn nearly 30 years later. “I’ve been playing in bands for 35 years and I’ve NEVER heard a story like Siren’s,” shares multi-hyphenate entertainer, Chris Jericho, who produced the documentary film about the group’s unexpected reunion. “We all had bands in high school that we felt would tour the world and sell a million records, but most of them break up by senior year and never go any further. However, Siren was different. In the early ‘80s, they had a lot of buzz and plenty of talent, but typical band differences broke them up and most of themnever played in another group again. But here’s where it gets weird. Unbeknownst to the guys, over the next 30 years, Siren’s fan base was building to the point where they received an offer to play at the KEEP IT TRUE festival in Germany in 2018. That’s over three decades after they broke up! When I heard about this story, I figured it would go one of two ways...it would be a major shit show OR the best feel-good story ever. That’s why I sent a camera crew to document their adventure as it happened. What we got for this movie was even more than I could have imagined.

Some dreams never die and “I’m Too Old For This Sh*t! A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale” proves that to be true!” “This has all been beyond imagination,” adds Siren drummer, Ed Aborn. “When I was 18, it was my dream to be onstage and see thousands of people singing along with the songs I had written. That dream was set aside and forgotten as the obligations of life and family spanned the next 30 years. But sometimes a dream really does sneak up on you! And living that dream, even for a moment, was still every bit of the amazing experience I had imagined it would be all those decades ago. I’m so grateful that the whole experience was captured in this film.

Now, we can live it over and over again and, hopefully, others may even dare to dust off their own long-forgotten dreams. This was an actual dream come true experience for all of us.” Within less than two weeks of being made available for free viewing in the US/Canada, the film quickly amassed over 100,000 views! This is unheard of for an independent documentary. Judging by the hundreds of positive comments left by viewers of the film on YouTube (US), this true story has absolutely struck a chord in the hearts of thousands and has even resonated with some notable artists.

Wolves is the first single from the album Withered Paradigma by the Chilean band Weight Of Emptiness, which will be released worldwide via Sliptrick Records on March 7th.

"The magnificent process of evolution, the hopeful visualization of a future full of benefits that our enviable intellect offers us and, like it, separates us from the "animal"... or not? In Wolves, it tells of that moment in life when the wild animal in us gets out of control, and we are only guided by the primordial instincts of the beast, breaking any paradigm assigned to our perfect societies or the status quo, that animal force that has raised nations and that in packs, are the true and only meaning of the rebellion... listen to the howls within you... listen to your inner wolf!!!"

Pre-orders begin Feb 3, 2023.

Danish / Turkish Death Metal titans Hyperdontia should not need any introduction. Their two full length albums, several EPs and couple of splits all testify to them being a band of the highest quality. As does their renowned tightness in a live setting. Now they are as “Deranged” as ever, as their new EP title suggests.

Ripping in with a cacophony of putrid yet punctual instrumental ferocity and gnarly vocals, those who are new to this beastly underground entity will be greeted with not just aggression but absolutely masterful musicianship where every element is a carefully crafted weapon in the great arsenal. The bass guitar is otherworldly while the drums hammer with remorseless action. Meanwhile, Hyperdontia’s riffing is absolutely savage and the vocals sublimely sepulchral. Riveting, ruthlessly visceral and with dynamics aplenty to keep things unpredictable, there is no way anyone couldn’t be gripped by this masterfully menacing music. This is not some throwaway foursome of songs that weren’t good enough for an album, this is a dense and tight punch that in under 20 minutes will render you destroyed by truly impeccable Death Metal extremity.

Unafraid of technicality, both in the riffing and lead work, along with the rhythm sections; there is no escaping just how monstrously skilled these guys are. That said, the brutality and barbarity is still there, this is not some flimsy polished gem of guitarists showing off. There is a soul and it devours all in the path, planting the most malicious sounds directly into your brain. One of the bands biggest strengths is incorporating plenty of shifts and new ideas rather than treading water, and to call this EP exhilarating would be an understatement. The descent into madness is one that is a joy to experience, even if a tormenting one. So, if you like Death Metal and you are still reading this; wait no longer, get stuck into the latest offering by one of the underground's undeniably best artists.
