DAWN OF EXISTENCE RELEASE "ANCIENT ARTS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: May 5, 2023

FFO: Hypocrisy, Septicflesh, Rotting Christ

Location: San Antonio, TX

Dawn of Existence, the enigmatic blackened melodic death metal duo known for their unapologetic approach and thematic depth, unveil their latest masterpiece, "Ancient Arts," released on May 5, 2023. This highly anticipated release promises to take listeners on a journey through the realms of the occult, cosmology, history, and fantasy, delivering a ritualistic experience like no other.

Since their inception in 2017, Dawn of Existence has been pushing the boundaries of melodic death metal, blending vicious brutality with elegant melodies to create a sound that is both haunting and captivating. With "Ancient Arts," the band delves deeper into their thematic explorations, weaving a tapestry of eldritch tales and arcane mysteries.

The album's first single, "Marble Garden," sets the stage for the dark and immersive journey that awaits. Inspired by a lost golden age of civilization, the track explores a world where magic and science coexist, painting a vivid picture of a society on the brink of collapse.

As the album unfolds, listeners will be transported through a series of otherworldly landscapes and harrowing tales. From the Orwellian nightmare of "Toe Up" to the cosmic fury of "Satan Spacelord," each track offers a glimpse into the darker corners of the human psyche and the mysteries of the universe.

"Mystic Serpent" beckons with its seductive rhythms and occult imagery, while "Škoda ‘14" brings the listener crashing back to earth with its visceral depiction of war and chaos. "The Hierophant" challenges convention and tradition, while "Tides" explores the dualistic nature of mankind.

The album culminates with "Meet Me At The Stake," a defiant anthem that confronts the hypocrisy and persecution faced by pagans, witches, and practitioners of the occult throughout history. It's a rallying cry for those who dare to challenge the status quo and embrace their true selves.

With "Ancient Arts," Dawn of Existence has crafted a work of unparalleled intensity and depth. From its haunting melodies to its ferocious rhythms, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who dare to listen.

Dawn of Existence is ready to unleash "Ancient Arts" upon the world, and there's no doubt that this record will leave its black mark upon the masses.

TANORK RELEASE "DESTINED TO DIE..."

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Tanork is an old-school death metal band from Rennes that was formed in 2020. It's made up of 2 17-year-olds from Diwan, Eflam on vocals and guitar and Melaine on bass and vocals, as the band had not yet found a drummer, they performed live with a drum machine until now.

The lyrics are mostly written in Breton and a little in English, as Tanork seeks to defend its Breton culture and identity, which is increasingly being sidelined these days. The lyrics are often political and protesting about various subjects such as animal overexploitation, the atrocities of war, the horrors of colonization etc....

Our influences are multiple: Sepultura for the groove and power, Death for the sound and speed, Morbid Angel for the heaviness and Suffocation for the brutal side that the band tries to bring.

ONCE UPON THE END RELEASE "ARCHIVE 200"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

ONCE UPON THE END – ARCHIVE 200

LABEL: INDEPENDENT RELEASE

RELEASE DATE: APRIL 5th 2024

“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.”

– J. Robert Oppenheimer

They walk the wastelands of a world laid low by climate catastrophe, greed and humanity’s insatiable lust for power. Five bards of a dystopian near-future they carry their bandolier of songs through a broken landscape, bringing tales of hope, tragedy and dire lessons that must never be forgotten to the isolated and alone. And all of their ballads of an age forsaken, a once great civilisation brought down, begin with the same portentous words…Once Upon the End...

Hailing from Paris, the city of lights, Once Upon the End are a melodic death metal band that look beyond those fabled lights and into the hungry darkness that waits at the end of mankind’s calamitous path. Their songs are set in the last days of the world as we know it and in the shattered kingdom of nightmares that lies on the other side of our self-inflicted doom. Their impending EP, Archive 200, features a blend of new songs and past classics, completely re-worked and re-recorded with the stunning vocals of recent recruit Ezalyr. Ezalyr’s voice possesses a magnificent duality, blending towering melodic strength with a raw, impassioned, caustic rasp that rides upon the surging waves of power generated by the band’s momentous riffs. ‘We Are The Dead’ – an ode to the survivors of Once Upon the End’s conceptual apocalypse – is a perfect illustration of everything this exceptional band has to offer;  beginning with a haunting melodic introduction that explodes into a ravenous swarm of guitars. Elsewhere solos spiral into the heavens while a roaming bass presence weaves an underlying layer of sonorous, unspoken words. The drums provide an unflinching intensity and unstoppable momentum throughout every subtle shift in tempo and that fierce, blazing vocal seizes your attention in an unbreakable grip. Yet for all its magnificence ‘We Are The Dead’ does not stand alone on the landscape of ruin that is Archive 200 – ‘Dying Concrete’ bears witness to the collapse of human society with a fizzing energy and majestic choruses, ‘Moon Scavengers’ boasts some of the finest riffs you will ever hear as it shifts between moods and rhythms with an effortless, accomplished poise, while ‘The Old Ones’ provides a breathtaking, multi-faceted conclusion to a truly remarkable melodic death metal collection.

It’s been eight years since Once Upon the End began the exploration of their dark, fantastical world and the journey is becoming more enthralling and exciting with every release. Their 2021 debut album, The Next Chapter, was an impressive piece of work, but with Archive 200 this French band have really thrust their standard into the torn soil of the melodic death metal battlefield and issued a daunting challenge to all. Mastered by Frédéric Gervais (Pensées Nocturnes, Glorior Belli, In The Woods etc) Archive 200 sounds crisp and clear, yet richly textured, making the most of every nuance and detail in these fine songs. On April 5th step across the threshold into a chilling vision of the future and embrace the incredible song craft, musicianship and sheer power of Once Upon the End.

Line-up:

Ezalyr - Vocals

Groly - Bass

Loerk - Guitar

Koal – Guitar

Tentrom - Drums

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

For fans of: Arch Enemy | In Flames | Dark Tranquillity | Soilwork

INCINERATED RE-RELEASE "LOBOTOMISE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Dawnbreed Records is pleased to finally announce a new official release in CD format of "Lobotomise", the acclaimed sophomore album of Australian death-grind act INCINERATED. The album was originally released in 2017 and this new highly anticipated pressing will be available from March 1st 2024.

There is nothing else in the entire multiverse of music that can compare to the madness that grind brings to the table in every instance. When allowed to become its own beast and fester away at the boundaries of societal norms, we get some of the most eviscerating and uncompromising performances that the sound has to offer. When paired with the most primal, brutish and grisly end of death metal’s already gruesome spectrum, things can get dragged into a place of truly unparalleled viciousness.

For all intents and purposes, INCINERATED has been pushing those limits for years with their 2017 homicidal streak, "Lobotomise", offering some of the deadliest and most obscene death-grind that the mind can tolerate. It's the sort of madness that forces blood to pour from your eyes and an insatiable urge to destroy all in your path while the blown-out riffs and utter chaos of Incinerated drive you forward to not just dismantle the very fabric of civilization, but to disintegrate all who come before you.

"Lobotomise" is not just the title for these fourteen lessons in the most brutal form of rending flesh, but it is the single-minded goal of INCINERATED. A wholly cruel work with no frills or moments of reprieve to hide yourself in, "Lobotomise" comes for your very soul.

Tracklist:

1. Excision (01:44)

2. Avenged (01:17)

3. Corpse in the Grass (00:48)

4. Bed Ridden (01:05)
