NORTHTRIP AMONG THE STORMS…
Active since 1995 and with 5 previous full-lengths under their belts, Russian OLD WAINDS are back on the frozen field.
Picking up where they left off with their previous album, the predominantly fast-paced "Stormheart" reveals itself as ice-cold, yet melancholic and introspective at the same time. Driven by stunning guitar work, completely devoid of unnecessary gimmicks and vocals slightly distorted and rife with murderous contempt, OLD WAINDS delivered one of the best Black Metal albums of the last couple of years.
Dark Nordic Metal from the icy wastes of Murmansk.
Grim, cold and majestic as it should be…
The new album "Stormheart" will be released on 27th November 2024 on various physical formats and digital.

In the four years since the release 2020's Life is Bad, Torrefy have worked feverishly to create an album that would be nothing short of its masterwork. That masterwork is now realized in the form of Necronomisongs! Ripping Thrash and abrasive Black Metal are prime elements, yet the band's self-described unorthodox approach to composition has paid big dividends! The album slashes, burns, and genre-bends with unhinged ferocity, all without sacrificing an ounce of memorability.

PRESS RELEASE:
Canadian thrash metal Gods Triskelyon will be delivering stainless steel fury on their highly anticipated third album, “Shattered Elysium” this coming September 27th from Moribund Records to follow"Artificial Insanity," (2023) and "Downfall” (2022).
For the album's release day, Triskelyon is sharing their new music video for the track "Hellbound Hellions" at https://youtu.be/YAjz0C-R_P4
Band founder Geoff Waye adds:
"I want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who has supported the 3rd Triskelyon album, Shattered Elysium—especially our incredible guests who added their unique energy to the album. Your contributions helped elevate this project to another level. A big shoutout as well to Michael Small for his incredible work mixing and mastering the music, bringing our vision to life with raw power. A special thanks to Odin and Moribund Records for believing in the vision and making this release possible. Your backing means everything. And to every single person who’s pre-ordered, saved, or shared Shattered Elysium—you are a part of the lifeblood of this music. Your support fuels our collective drive, and we all can't wait for you to experience the full force of this album. As a celebration of today's release, we're thrilled to drop the music video for "Hellbound Hellions"—a crushing track about ghostly legions rising from the dead for revenge. Check it out and prepare for the onslaught!"
With their lethal third strike, Triskelyon’s band leader Geoff Waye once again drafted some of the finest emissaries of the Canadian Metal scene. Enlisting the vocal talents of guests Amanda Kiernan (Into Eternity, The Order of Chaos), Eric Forrest (E-Force, ex-VoiVod), Tiina Teal (Détente), Amanda Jackman (Category VI), Armin Kamal (Infrared), Dale Drew (Sea Dogs), Fíochmhar (Artach), and Des Mason & Pete Healey, this album detonates as a pure and true thrash metal masterpiece. It features a unique style and refreshing variations full of thrashing classics! Traditional yet intricate thrash drum duties are exceptionally executed by Raul Marques (Burning Torment), while Dwayne Pike, Keith Jackman (Category VI), Rick White, and Darrin Pope are conscripted on bass.
“Shattered Elysium” runs the gamut from pure 80’s thrash and speed Metal to classic power Metal, and traditional metal, and even includes some brutal death-thrashers. It attains an impressive new milestone in classic thrash metal, with far-reaching appeal across all heavy metal sub-genres. “Shattered Elysium” truly resurrects the glory days of the 1980s, while maintaining a fresh and modern sound!
In keeping with Triskelyon's tradition of closing their albums with an iconic cover, this release delivers a thunderous metal rendition of Duran Duran's mega-hit “Hungry Like the Wolf.” This powerful transformation is destined to become a radio sensation and ignite a storm of social media buzz!
“Shattered Elysium” is now available as of September 27, 2024, from Moribund Records at the following links:

Folk metal fans, get ready to join the battle alongside Forsaken Rite, Edmonton, Canada’s premier symphonic folk metal band, who are proudly releasing their new EP “The Forgotten West”. This five-track EP marks a bold new chapter in the band’s journey, showcasing their evolution and growth as artists while staying true to the epic, adventurous spirit that has defined them since their formation in 2012. They comment on the upcoming release:
“We want this EP to be a continuation from our full-length album “The Northern Saga”. Where every song, though, unique, and listenable on its own, is still very much part of the whole story, the adventure. We want our listeners/fans to join us once again on our adventures and feel like they are every part of the Warparty contributing to its success.”
“The Forgotten West” is a collection of songs that take listeners on a grand adventure across multiple regions, times, and events. From the haunting melodies of the title track to the thunderous battle hymn “Call to War”, the EP weaves together intricate orchestral arrangements, soaring clean vocals, and hard-hitting distorted vocals to create a rich tapestry of sound. Forsaken Rite’s signature accordion-inspired leads are accompanied by distinctive flute lines and expansive orchestral elements, all supported by virtuosic guitar solos, driving bass, and thundering percussion.
This EP is not only a testament to the band’s musical prowess, but also a reintroduction to Forsaken Rite after a period of significant change. With a new lineup and a refined sound, “The Forgotten West” serves as a bridge between Forsaken Rite’s past and future. It is recommended for fans of Nightwish, Faun, and Ensiferum.

"Rise To Power" is more than just a collection of tracks; it’s an odyssey through ancient conflicts and legendary strength, all told through the raw, aggressive lens of melodic death metal. Building on the success of singles like "War Before Peace," "May The Gods Bear Witness," and "Black Death," this album promises to deliver a powerful blend of historical depth and intense musicality.

Band Name: Mezmerizer
Album Title: Whispers of Leviathan
Release Date: November 29, 2024
Label: Downfall Records (FALL059)
Genre: Progressive Metal / Experimental Metal
Location: Odense, Denmark
MEZMERIZER Announces Debut Album Whispers of Leviathan, Set for Release on November 29, 2024
Danish metal collective set to unleash years of musical evolution with their highly anticipated debut release through Downfall Records.
Mezmerizer, the Danish metal collective, is proud to announce the release of their debut album Whispers of Leviathan, set for November 29, 2024, through Downfall Records. Formed in 2009 as a creative outlet for metal musicians from Odense, Denmark, Mezmerizer has evolved over the years, experimenting with different musical styles and influences, culminating in this highly anticipated debut.
Originally conceived as a side project where musicians could break from their main bands and explore new sounds, Mezmerizer quickly gained attention with the release of their first track on a compilation album. Over the years, the band has collaborated with some of Denmark’s finest metal vocalists, including Jonas Viuff (Terrorpy), Esben Elnegaard Hansen (Hatesphere), and Michael Bastholm Dahl (Artillery). The music of Mezmerizer has continuously evolved, and with the departure of Michael Bastholm Dahl from Artillery in 2023, the band seized the opportunity to focus on refining their sound in the studio.
Whispers of Leviathan represents the culmination of years of experimentation and growth for Mezmerizer. The album fuses elements from across the metal spectrum, from the harshest black metal riffs to the most melodic harmonies. Speaking about the album’s style, Michael Bastholm Dahl notes, “The music is composed and recorded by artists who love all kinds of metal… we listen to each riff and try to come up with melodies, harmonies, punchlines, and rhythms that add something interesting to the overall sound.”
Flemming Goldberg-Larsen, the band’s primary composer, shares that Iron Maiden has been a life-long influence on his songwriting. “I love a million different metal bands, but when I work on new material, I remind myself that a live show can be built around aggressive tunes like ‘Wrathchild,’ epic songs like ‘Seventh Son of a Seventh Son,’ and crowd-pleasers like ‘Fear of the Dark.’ I may not have the same skills as Iron Maiden, but I will always strive to honor the tradition of bands that go the extra mile to give their listeners a memorable experience.”
The lyrics on Whispers of Leviathan tackle the double standards often seen among society’s leaders, exploring themes of deception and hypocrisy. The band emphasizes that the messages in their music and upcoming videos will challenge listeners to think critically about the world around them. As Mezmerizer reflects, "In a time where many people point fingers at each other, conflicts can often be avoided if we remember that things are seldom as they seem—neither in Denmark nor anywhere else."
For Fans Of: Iron Maiden, Artillery, Hatesphere, and experimental metal bands that blend aggressive and melodic elements.
Whispers of Leviathan will be released digitally and on CD via Downfall Records on November 29, 2024.

PRESS RELEASE:
International power metal band Asterise is set to release the second studio album 'Tale of a Wandering Soul' on December 6th 2024 via Inverse Records. The first single 'Into Fantasy' is released today and music video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/aL4ngP_M1Qw
Bartlomiej Mezynski comments:
"I decided to go with “Into Fantasy” as first single because it perfectly captures sound of the whole album. You can hear typical Power Metal rhythm guitars, fast guitar and keyboard solos, catchy choruses but also extraordinary bridge with totally different style and feel. Arnaud Menard and Sozos Michael did amazing job with the vocals. A lot of high-pitched notes in this song. Finally, the drums were recorded by real drummer, which adds a lot to result. If you are looking for something fresh but at the same time with old school Power Metal sound – you will not be disappointed."

Witch's Mirror EP
by Witch's Mirror
Tracklist:
1.Control
2.Cherry Moon 04:00
3.Solstice
4.Triage
Forged in the depths of Washington, D.C.’s heavy music underground in May of 2023, Witch’s Mirror plays brooding, charred doom metal infused with grunge, experimental and hardcore influences. The band is comprised of Kristin Eliason (vocals), Carni Klirs (guitar), Matt Cohen (bass) and Brandon Korch (drums) — longtime friends and veterans of D.C.’s DIY punk community whose current and past bands include Pilau, Cryptid Summer, Literals, Out Sick!, and Jail Solidarity. The band formed over a shared love of slow and heavy music, fascination with the occult, and desire to live in a world free from the imperialist, capitalist and fascist forces threatening our existence.
On the four tracks of their self-titled EP, Witch’s Mirror dredges the depths of its doom and sludge influences — from the cavernous, blackened riffs on “Control” to the spaced-out, desert metal drift of “Solstice.” Witch’s Mirror’s debut EP is a confident, pummeling new addition to D.C.’s storied metal scene.
