PRESS RELEASE:
In times of desperation they are always there; the liars, the deceivers, the thieves grasping for your last penny, your last mouthful of food, your last treasure wrapped in the tattered paper of memories. When the tides of despair rise so high they drown everything you know to be true, they will step from the shadows with a bottle of hope, priced at just everything you have left. While the tanks roll over the bodies of our children and the fires rage out of control, they will pour their snake oil on the flames – smiling while the serpent’s coils tighten their grasp around our world...
Raging hard against the heartless opportunists and holding the morally bankrupt to account are UK thrashers King Abyss, armed to the teeth with machine gun riffs, delivering their payload with fearsome precision and devastating impact. Debut full length album Snake Oil is a powerful, muscular take on the classic thrash attack, with a contemporary venom and aggression; but there is also another side to this band. One moment they’re breaking bones with an iron fist, the next they are unwinding glorious melodic guitar lines and exploring startling depths of emotion. The songs shift effortlessly through the gears, from blistering pace and fury to huge ringing chords and headbanging grooves, from soaring, cascading solos into quiet pools of acoustic guitar and reflective vocals. This multifaceted album grabs your attention with the seething firestorm of ‘Weapons Of Mass Delusion’ and doesn’t let go until the final measured notes of closer ‘Nibiru’ have finally faded away. Constructed from modern thrash at its very, very best Snake Oil is a diverse, dynamic set of songs written with ambitious creativity and performed with passion and magnificent musicality.
Building on the foundations laid by their two excellent EPs, Reborn (2017) and …The Destroyer Of Worlds (2018), Snake Oil sees King Abyss scaling new heights and driving forward into new and exciting territories. By never settling for second best, or accepting the merely ordinary when the exceptional can be attained by pushing themselves to the limit and beyond, King Abyss have forged an album that will stamp their name into metal’s collective consciousness for years to come. This brand of Snake Oil delivers on every promise – take a sip and become addicted forever!
New single 'Eyes Always Watching' is out NOW!

PRESS RELEASE:
From under the veil of obscurity emerges Melbourne-based deathcore group MÉLANCOLIA. After establishing themselves just last year with their debut single "Horror_Ethereal", today the band announce their signing to both Nuclear Blast (World excluding AUS/NZ) and Greyscale Records (Australia and New Zealand).
MÉLANCOLIA may be fresh out the gates but they're miles from the start line. The four-piece have crafted a unique sound that has already catapulted them to new heights. "To be backed this early in our career by two powerhouse record labels should tell you everything you need to know," says the band. "Our eyes are set on the world, watch us take it."
The quartet will take their place as main support for Gravemind on Friday, April 14 at Stay Gold, Melbourne. Presented by What We Did On The Weekend, Mélancolia will be joined by Vilify and Body Prison, where they'll showcase a collection of relentless unreleased tracks. Tickets are on sale now!
Initially unleashed last February, “Horror_Ethereal” is Mélancolia’s debut offering, introducing nightmarish settings, CRADLE OF FILTH-inspired fits, and harrowing visuals. Releasing independently, the single collected tens of thousands of digital streams under their own steam. Wall Of Sound concluded: “With blackened deathcore blast-beats, retching high vocals, and theatrical sonic breakdowns, this band will be one to watch, seriously."
MÉLANCOLIA echoes a tormented entity trapped within the claws of despair, angst, and unnerving melancholy. Like messengers of darkness, Alex Hill takes his place at the forefront as vocalist, Joshua Taafe and Billy Morris join the fold as guitarists with Mason Page on drums.
Launching in 2022, MÉLANCOLIA is a melodic blackened deathcore that melds elements from the depths of industrial goth and nü-metal with its pummeling foundations, resulting in what can only be described as sonic horror.
Storming through the gates of 2023 with a vengeance, MÉLANCOLIA played their first-ever show with THY ART IS MURDER on their Decade Of Hate Australian Tour in January alongside Starve and Justice For The Damned.
As a sign of what's to come, the band look towards a future equipped with heavyweight reinforcements as they join the Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records families as well as fly under the wing of Future History Management (SLEEP TOKEN, LOATHE).
“Horror_Ethereal” is out now and streaming everywhere via Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records.

PRESS RELEASE:
Chicago-based, one-man melodic death/doom band DREAMS OF GRAY has released a lyric video for the title track off its debut EP, The World After.
Check out the lyric video for "The World After" at this location.
Featuring three epic tracks, The World After seamlessly blends elements of melodic thrash, death, doom, and traditional heavy metal.
Download the EP at dreamsofgray.bandcamp.com or stream the tracks on Spotify.
Track list:
1) Performance V Justice
2) Life in Gray
3) The World After
DREAMS OF GRAY is Luis Rivera (Vocals/Guitars). The band was formed almost by accident, as Rivera was piecing together ideas while unable to actively perform and record music. When Rivera was ready to record in 2022, he enlisted the help of friends and guest musicians to play drums and bass and help bring his vision to life.
Rivera is also the vocalist/guitarist for Chicago area band Abolisher. Abolisher has been inactive over the last decade but is planning a new album soon. The band was active in the Chicago area, recording and gigging from 1995-2007 and received many positive reviews including in Metal Maniacs and Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles. Abolisher is where Rivera initially honed his skills as a vocalist and guitarist. Years later in DREAMS OF GRAY, he continues to grow as a musician and songwriter.
DREAMS OF GRAY seeks to express Rivera’s musical ideas at this particular point in time. The music draws from many influences. Each song has a unique flavor but also a signature sound. They are equal parts heavy and memorable, with countless complex ideas woven in between. The lyrical content is deeply personal, dealing with contemporary issues as well as grief, loss, and acceptance. The World After EP is just the beginning with many more songs ready to be recorded.
