FOETAL JUICE RELEASE "GROTESQUE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Since 2005, Mancunian stalwart of extreme metal FOETAL JUICE has made it an inexorable mission to corrupt the underground with its feast of deliciously graceless, diabolically grim, and downright pustular, pissed-off noise. With seven albums already in their disgusting discography, they are now adding an eighth “Grotesque” which promises to be filled with filthy riffs, deathly growls and sickening vocals. 

True performers, who add professionalism and technicality to their sets they have carved a niche in discharging revolting death metal to smaller, high-energy audiences, through to the hungry masses at major festivals firmly ensconcing itself at the helm of the UK underground and making waves across the English Channel.

FOETAL JUICE set out to create something that was incredibly violent both musically and lyrically, and also captured the “Foetal Juice Groove”- black humour they have used throughout our careers, and has succeeded in “Grotesque”. It is recommended for fans of Deicide, Vomitory, and Napalm Death.

"Everything seems to have worked amazingly on “Grotesque.” It turned out far better than we ever imagined it would. Everyone has brought their A-game to the table with this one. Then Chris Fielding (Producer) put the cherry on the top with the outstanding mixing/mastering. He really has made this album sound incredible.

Due to the lockdowns during Covid, Ryan, who is the main songwriter/Guitarist, has churned out hundreds of riffs and song ideas, which has meant we could be a lot more selective with choosing the final ideas than we would normally be able to. This has really helped us to find the best riffs and ideas to use on this album.

We always write the next song as if it has to be better than the last song we have written. This really pushes us to impress one another when it comes to our individual parts.

When we recorded the last album, Lewis had only been in the band for 2 months and pretty much had to copy the guitar parts with his bass lines. On Grotesque, he has really come into his own. The bass lines have added so much to each song as it’s not just the same as the guitar riffs.

With Foetal Juice, we push each other as far as we can to get the best out of each member. This is mainly because individually, we are all really difficult to impress, so when we have to impress one another, it really takes you to the next level of performance/writing.

We are so proud of everything about this album, from the artwork and songwriting to the performance, recording, and mastering. Even if no one likes it like we do, we can all hold our heads up high with this one." - Foetal Juice

LOST TO THE VOID RELEASE "EMBRACE IN DISGUST"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

California has an inhuman and ruthless heresy that bloodthirsts for the unholy callous dissonance and barbarous brutality of which we have unseen, Lost To The Void has a mission of remorselessness and an intentional tenacity to diversify death metal. With vigor, they are pleased to unleash their second album “Embrace in Disgust”, which will exemplify technical blistering riffs that integrate with uncivilized heavy-hitting breakdowns and alleviates with melodies, this unformulated conclave is here to expel and annihilate.

The band comments:

“This album means so much to us as a band. It is quite literally a collection of so much pain and tragedy intertwined with the reality that has this visceral feeling that in a lot of ways is hard for some of us to listen to. The loss and suffering endured to bring this album to completion was not worth it but regardless it’s there now for everyone to hear and feel. We hope that Colin is proud and somehow able to listen to this thing. One thing that really hurts is he was never able to sit down and listen to this final product with us. Hope it came out just the way you wanted, brother. FOR COLIN, FOR EVIL, FOREVER.”

Lost To The Void has been working on this album for over three years, and they hope everyone enjoys it as much as they do. Along with channeling the pain that accumulated over the pandemic, this album also encapsulates the heartache that ripples through the band after losing the heart of the band, guitarist Colin. The concept of the album is about the end of the world as we know it and each song describes different issues that are contributing to our eventual downfall.

“Embrace in Disgust” was produced and mixed by Andrew Llewellyn and Paul Madrid of Angler Audio; mastered by Phil Pluskota of Sonic Assault Studios and the artwork was done by Llewellyn. It is recommended for all fans of death metal, especially those who enjoy Whitechapel, The Faceless, and Organectomy.

“Embrace in Disgust” is available as of September 1st, 2023 via Blood Blast Distribution on Losttothevoid.bandcamp.com

ROT RE-RELEASE "ROT (THE UNHOLY ROT)" ON VINYL

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Boris Records' official vinyl reissue of ROT's Diabolus (The Unholy Rot): Demo 1990 is streaming in its entirety on Bandcamp! Originally scheduled to drop October 6, the release date has been pushed back to October 28.

Stream and pre-order at:

borisrecords.bandcamp.com/album/diabolus-the-unholy-rot-demo-1990

The deluxe package includes ROT’s original four-song demo EP remastered, along with two previously unreleased cuts, “Baphomet” and “Violent Beast” (rehearsal), as well as a live show from 1991.

Way back in 1990, a quartet by the name of ROT released a demo tape entitled, Diabolus (The Unholy Rot): Demo #1 1990, one of the most strikingly raw and guttural death metal recordings to ever come from the Atlanta scene. That tape has lain obscurity for more than 33 years, existing only as a grainy video buried deep on the Internet.

The album also includes a recently unearthed live recording, and an in-depth biography from John Mincemoyer (printed on 11x11 insert), packed with dozens of never-seen-before photos, illustrating the countless hurdles and seemingly insurmountable odds the group faced during their short but fiery existence.

The story of ROT is the story of four friends—outsiders—fighting for their lives amid Atlanta’s unforgiving music scene of the late 1980s. Drummer Corey Pallon, guitar player Richard Googe, bass player James Liu, and vocalist, guitar player, and principal songwriter Kevin Cornelius lived in musical, cultural, and geographic isolation. Metal was a rising force amid the Reagan era, but ROT’s musical style looked far beyond what antagonistic audiences in the southeastern United States demanded. ROT drew power from the same down-tuned dirges of Swedish death metal luminaries Entombed, and the concentrated black metal and grindcore riffage of Napalm Death’s debut album Scum. Cornelius, Pallon, Googe, and Liu played the music that was written in their bones, capturing a portrait of a place, a time, and an attitude, driven by unrelenting darkness. The group’s would-be legendary status was constantly at odds with a litany of socio-political hurdles that came from every direction. They played as though their lives depended on it.

Cornelius progressed quickly on guitar, rising from beginner status to death metal master within just 18 months. Working alongside his bandmates, he wrote and recorded gnarly odes of putrescence during the early gestation period of the grindcore and death metal. He also experimented with a whispered vocal style that Nuclear Holocaust later made famous with Beherit’s 1991 release Dawn of Satan’s Millennium.

Upon arrival, ROT’s demo cassette, Diabolus (The Unholy Rot): Demo #1 1990, promised great things to come. Songs bearing titles such as “Mutilation of the Christians,” “Pray To Death,” and “Parasitic Withdrawal” were unrelenting in their raw intensity of sound and bleak musical textures.

Track Listing:

1 Mutilation of the Christians

2 Pray to Death

3 Parasitic Withdrawal

4 Diabolus_The Unholy Rot

5 Baphomet (unreleased track)

INFERNALIZER RELEASE "AFTER DARK"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Infernalizer will be unleashing its new album "After Dark" on October 27th, 2023 via Rockshots Records. So far in the lead-up to the record's forthcoming release, they have unveiled to fans two music videos "What Did You Expect?" (https://youtu.be/hbADbsfAtQ8) and "What We Do In The Shadows" (https://youtu.be/RFb7rg1t-fM).

Today, the band unlocks their third video for the track "Falling In Slow Motion", a song that is completely different from their previous two singles as frontman Claudio Ravinale explains further:

"This is a little bit of a power ballad, it has a lot of different layers to it and represents the darker and less campy side of the album. The female vocals on the chorus really help to emphasize the emotional nature of the track creating a captivating vocal melody while the male vocals switch from the low gothic vibes of the verses (once again very influenced by late Type O Negative singer, Peter Steele) to the death metal growls of the bridges creating a vivid contrast; the central part of the track showcases a more elaborate cinematic atmosphere. As opposed to most of the other songs on the album there is no trace of dark humor in the lyrics that focus on the theme of death and departure."

Video - https://youtu.be/ycO1T4czaoc​

Infernalizer is the brand new creature conceived and brought to life by the creative mind of Claudio Ravinale to portray his own take on the heavy metal genre. Ravinale is best known as the vocalist of Italian death metal veterans Disarmonia Mundi, who has achieved worldwide recognition with their high-octane melo-death throughout two decades and featuring Bjorn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork) among their ranks, along with being in other recognizable bands such as The Silverblack, 5 Star Grave and The Stranded.

Heavily influenced by 80's metal acts such as Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, and Danzig, Ravinale's new project Infernalizer relies on the use of gloomy keys and eerie samples, paying homage to more somber gothic rock acts like Type O Negative and The Sisters Of Mercy. Vocally closer to contemporary acts like Rob Zombie and Wednesday 13, the range of influences also includes evocative cinematographic soundscapes that provide Infernalizer's songs with a more solemn and nocturnal atmosphere.

Ready to follow up the 2021 debut album “The Ugly Truth”, Infernalizer presents the new full-length "After Dark" set to be unleashed in October 2023 via Rockshots Records.

Constantly balancing between aggressive moments and gothic atmospheres properly supported by deep crooning vocals and more irate outbursts. This new record is deeply rooted in 80's metal and often prone to arena rock choruses, sets an eerie and nocturnal mood especially when it comes to the use of keyboards, often reminiscent of classic horror movie themes.

The desire to go towards more gothic rock territories on this new offering is fully represented by tracks like "Death Wish", "This Is My Yard" or "Falling In Slow Motion", while the planned-to-be-released singles "What Did You Expect?" and "What We Do In The Shadows" (both mastered at Sterling Sound Studio in Nashville by legendary Grammy-winning mastering engineer Ted Jensen) are open-heart love letters to 80's hard rock. There's no shortage of bangers as well with songs like "The Dark Passenger", "Moon of Blood" or the title track providing the more muscular edge of the album.

Infernalizer frontman Claudio Ravinale comments:

"People that loved the previous album are gonna dig this new one because we basically took our time to refine the formula, focus properly on how we wanted the record to sound, and had a starting point to evolve from. Usually with the first album you simply take a leap in the dark and see how it goes, with the second one you already have a layer of bricks to build on and that's exactly what we did. This is pure and simple entertainment. I'm not here to preach, I'm not here to make the world a better place, I simply want people to have a good time listening to this music, nothing else."

Infernalizer's sophomore album "After Dark" is due out on October 27, 2023, and available for pre-order on vinyl at https://bit.ly/AfterDarkVINYL.

TORN THE FUCK APART RELEASE "KILL.BURY.REPEAT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Kansas City, USA’s Torn The Fuck Apart (TTFA) has been amassing a brutal and gory discography since 2006 and now they continue their triumphant evolution as a three-piece powerhouse with their sixth release “Kill.Bury.Repeat.” that will bury listeners in a fury of death metal. Their sound features groove, aggression, and technicality layered with lyrics growling out themes of horror and homicide. They share their excitement for the latest release:

“We in TTFA are extremely excited to bring you our newest album “Kill.Bury.Repeat.” a collection of horror stories from our imagination or inspired by true events. We believe this album represents the next level of brutality that we have worked to achieve over the years not only musically but also lyrically, something that any fan of metal can enjoy.”

TTFA's lineup consists of Michael Langner on guitars/vocals, Brandon Mitchell on bass/vocals, and Dylan Watt on drums/vocals. Notably, Langner and Mitchell also double as members of Troglodyte, while Watt remains active in Sedlec Ossuary. Over the years, their sound has matured and evolved, partly due to their refusal to limit musical influences, thus drawing inspiration from various metal subgenres and incorporating different styles into their music.

In essence, they sum up their sound simply as "death metal," but their music offers a vivid and detailed portrait of the horrors of death, the cycle of rebirth, and humanity's morbid fascination with these themes. Not ones to sit idly by, they are overflowing with creative ideas and ensure fans that there will be a continuous stream of death metal devastation in the coming months. They are recommended listening for fans of Suffocation, Cryptopsy, and Cannibal Corpse.

DISPLAY OF DECAY RELEASE "VITRIOL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Display of Decay’s “Legion of Doom” is a death metal look at the menacing death knights found in World Of Warcraft. Step into the shadows of musical intensity and bask in bloody riffs, frosty bass lines, and unholy vocals. “Legion of Doom” comes off the band’s sixth album “Vitriol”, which is packed full of technical and dark artistry. The band details the writing process:

“Musically, this song was rewritten a number of times. I can remember a few minutes before a writing session, Brandon was on his way over and I was sitting there strumming along to warm up when I plucked the notes that would eventually become the chorus, and I thought to myself ‘’did I just write the best riff ever?!” Of course, I didn’t, but it’s a pretty damn great riff. This song is definitely more ‘progressive’ than the other ones perhaps, I feel there’s a definite nod to ‘Death’ in this one, but nonetheless, it’s about slaying monsters in Azeroth. FOR THE HORDE.”

Since 2007, Display of Decay has been writing death metal songs about serial killers, school shootings, and otherwise brutal methods of dying. Deep down though, they’re just a bunch of nerds who love playing heavy music and this song really captures that. There are other songs on the album that also pay homage to nerdy endeavors such as Mass Effect and Diablo while being wrapped up in groovy guitar work and ever-increasing technicality that shows how far the band has come over the years.

Get ready to experience the visceral and unapologetic realm of death metal and death knights with “Legion of Doom” recommended for fans of Immolation, Pantera, and Morbid Angel.
