"Into Everlasting Hate" marks Scent of Death's triumphant return to the music scene after 11 years of silence, showcasing their mastery in Technical Death Metal. Recorded in Spain and Portugal, the album echoes their roots while introducing enhanced layers and textures. Notably, the band remained loyal to their organic sound, avoiding over-digitization. The album continues to carry traces of the Immolation-influenced sound from their debut, yet it evolves with deeper intensity and technique. Musically, the album brims with powerful guitar work by Jorge F. Taboada and intricate drum patterns, especially noting the prowess of Rolando Barros. Throughout its tracks, "Into Everlasting Hate" demonstrates the band's dedication to crafting authentic, hard-hitting Death Metal, pushing the boundaries of the genre without sacrificing its core essence. It is a testament to Scent of Death's commitment to genuine musicianship in an era where many lean into overly polished productions.

KONG RELEASE "TRADERS OF TRUTH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: KONG

Album: Traders Of Truth

Country: The Netherlands

Genre: Progressive Metal | Industrial | Hardcore Ambient

Label: Sliptrick Records

Release date: November 28th, 2023

Traders Of Truth, the ninth studio album from Dutch progressive metalists Kong, contains eleven almost entirely instrumental tracks featuring their signature mix of progressive metal, dance, industrial and ambient.

In contrast to earlier releases, Traders Of Truth is not the result of jam sessions in the rehearsal room in which all bandmembers had an equal share. This time all the songs were initiated by one of the musicians and shared (mostly over the internet) with the others to contribute their parts and to reshape and refine the arrangements. This way of working resulted in a wide variety of directions, moods and sounds, which in the end all somehow fit in the eclectic style that always has been typical of Kong's music.

Sessions took place at different locations: two attics and a basement in Amsterdam and a former cloister in Amersfoort served as recording studio. The album was mixed by Dag Erik Nygaard (known from his work with Abbath, The Gathering and Ribozyme) in his studio in Bergen, Norway.

Tracklist:

01. Radiance | 02. Hit That Red | 03. Fringing | 04. Rök | 05. Mirrorizon | 06. Glasslands | 07. Ripper | 08. Chaos As Law | 09. Stray Marks | 10. Flat Earth Sobriety | 11. Destressed & Unrestrained

Traders Of Truth | Released November 28th, 2023 via Sliptrick Records

Tijs Keverkamp – Guitar | 

David Kox – Guitar/Electronics | 

Oscar Alblas – Drums |

KILTER FT. ANDROMEDA ANARCHIA RELEASE "THE SUSPENDED WOMAN"

PRESS RELEASE:

Kilter feat. Andromeda Anarchia

The Suspended Woman

Alter-Nativ

17 November 2023

The progressive/post metal trio KILTER, are preparing to unveil the new EP, The Suspended Woman, featuring ANDROMEDA ANARCHIA on November 17th, 2023. The EP showcases a number of pieces from their opera La Suspendida and offers a taste of their forthcoming 2024 full-length offering. 

Bassist Laurent David comments:

"I'm extremely honored to introduce you to the first part of our massive opera project! Before you dive into the entire thing, here's a sneak peek with stripped-down versions of 9 out of the 17 tracks that make up the opera, performed as a trio. These are raw, intense renditions recorded during our Europe/India tour in November 2022. Crank up the volume, of course."

Alongside the large-scale stage production of the opera La Suspendida, KILTER offers an album featuring selected titles from it, arranged for a trio of drums, electric bass, and bass saxophone. Similar to BENJAMIN BRITTEN's "Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes", KILTER presents here the very essence of their compositions. The jazz metal fusion of Laurent David, Kenny Grohowski, and Ed Rosenberg III combines drones, blasts, riffs, and patterns to create a unique sonic experience.

BLACK KNIFE RELEASE "BABY EATER WITCH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Black Knife

Baby Eater Witch

Wise Blood Records

30 October 2023

FFO: Midnight, Venom, Devil Master, The Misfits, and horror movies

Spawned in the shadows of Kentucky, BLACK KNIFE have sharpened their caustic collision of evil punk and black metal since 2016. This Halloween season, these Lexington hellraisers team up with Wise Blood Records and Mercenary Press to conjure their deadly 3rd full-length record, tastelessly titled Baby Eater Witch.

The numbers speak for themselves: 9 splits/EPs and 2 full-length rippers in only 7 years. Their prolific discography is a testament to their restless, undead DIY spirit. That tenacity was on full display when Black Knife first collaborated with Wise Blood on the Faster Than the Fucking Devil four-band split (2022). They sold the damn thing out before you could shout FUCK ME JESUS. While that split series is known for being focused on black thrash, BLACK KNIFE’s approach is steeped in punk bedlam. 

“I would say we take our favorite parts of wild and sleazy Thrash, Punk, Black Metal, and trashy Rock riffs,” shares vocalist/guitarist Hellwulv. “We drop them all in one toxic stew to form BLACK KNIFE. We also add a good portion of horror movie influence for good measure as well.”

The horror components of BLACK KNIFE’s new record are right there on the cover, ingesting an infant. Baby Eater Witch is a title certain to cause double-takes so vicious they snap spines. The gruesome, godless cover art by Eyedust welcomes blasphemy charges with horns raised high.

“The whole concept came from an old painting of a swamp witch in a cave about to cook a baby in her cauldron that I came across,” Hellwulv recalls. “Seeing that and loving all things Halloween, it really started to speak to me for a cool title track and overall vibe for the album. The original cover was going to be just a close-up image of the teeth crunching into a baby like a Big Mac, then the direction changed. But not by much! If I walked into a record store and saw that album cover, I would buy that album without hesitation, even without hearing the first song.”

Black Knife will curse your speakers and headphones when Baby Eater Witch crawls from the cauldron on October 30th, 2023. Available on Vinyl, CD, Cassette, and Digital from Wise Blood Records (USA) and Mercenary Press (UK).

ARTACH RELEASE "HELL ON HALLOWEEN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In the haunting, frost-bitten depths of Canada, where the chilling winds of anticipation gust and the eve of Halloween draws near, ARTACH emerges from the shadows to bestow upon their dedicated followers a macabre musical offering of diabolical proportions. Behold, for in the dead of night, they unveil their latest creation, a sinister serenade aptly christened “Hell on Halloween.”

This unholy composition is a tribute to the malevolent specters that once graced the silver screens of the 1980s, an infernal homage to the iconic horror malefactors of that blood-soaked era. Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, and The Lost Boys, their names spoken in hushed reverence, each infuse their dread into the dark tapestry of this diabolic opus. As the chilling notes of “Hell on Halloween” reverberate through the abyss, they conjure forth the very essence of blackened thrash metal, seamlessly binding these two malevolent musical realms into a symphony of terror and power that will send shivers down the spines of all who dare to listen.

In other Artach news, the band recently revealed that their 3rd full-length album will be released on Vinyl in 2024 from Adirondack Black Mass.
