BILWIS RELEASE "HAMELN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

BILWIS

-= Atmospheric Black Metal =-

FFO: Eldamar, Grima, Lustre

Genre: Melodic Black Metal, Atmospheric Black Metal, Ambient Black Metal

The concept of BILWIS consists of old European fairy tales and myths clothed in a garment of rough but melodic and atmospheric BLACK METAL with German lyrics - a journey into the world of forgotten dreams, wolves, ghosts, dwarves, mermaids, trolls, elves, vampires and giants.

When multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Bilwis began songwriting for the new album "Hameln", he quickly realized that he needed to return to the debut EP in terms of songwriting, but with an improved sound.

Bilwis says about the song "Hameln":

"'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' is not only one of the most famous legends in the world, but also a very dark tale. It was therefore an obvious choice to use this legend for the new BILWIS album."

ULCERATE RELEASE "CUTTING THE THROAT OF GOD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

New Zealand Death Metal titans ULCERATE recently announced their mind-bending new album, "Cutting the Throat of God". A first track, 'The Dawn is Hollow', is released, accompanied by an enthralling video from Dehn Sora. Pre-orders for the new album and merch have also begun – please visit the Debemur Morti Prods. EU, US and Bandcamp shops. Do not miss this beyond-exceptional release from a band that has, once again, truly surpassed expectations.

https://www.debemur-morti.com/en/400-ulcerate-shop

https://debemurmorti.aisamerch.com/band/ulcerate

Tracklist:

1.To Flow Through Ashen Hearts

2.The Dawn is Hollow 07:32

3.Further Opening the Wounds

4.Transfiguration In and Out of Worlds

5.To See Death Just Once

6.Undying as an Apparition

7.Cutting the Throat of God

After triumphantly casting off the shackles of claustrophobic dissonance on 2020's lauded "Stare Into Death and Be Still", New Zealand unorthodox Death Metal legends ULCERATE up the ante even further with mind-bending 7th album "Cutting the Throat of God".

An acknowledgement that the band's most powerful and affecting material leans to the melodic side, this refined and hook-laden new record is a self-sufficient universe unto itself, a conflagration of inventively visceral Death/Black Metal where dizzying experimentation meets head-nodding abandon - obscenely twisted and addictive, heart-stopping in its depth of feeling.

After a quarter-century of playing music together, Hoggard/Saint Merat are cemented as one of the strongest guitar-percussion combinations in Extreme Metal, and their music has evolved organically into something completely its own. The most well-produced ULCERATE record to date, "Cutting the Throat of God" is filled with peerless rhythms, the band's smoothest transitions, most compelling phrasing, and truly staggering riffage. The exhilarating, liquescent flow is topped off by a destructively dynamic performance from vocalist/lyricist Paul Kelland.

"Cutting the Throat of God" explores a cohesive lyrical theme centered around the rupture of morality, the delicate boundary between depravity and extremity, and the irreversible descent into darkness.
