"Burning Light" will be available on all platforms this coming Friday, March 22.


The band released the following statement concerning the new album:

"It’s been 5 years since our last release, Accursed. The EP really was a new avenue for the band as we leaned further toward a more blackened approach stylistically. Having more of a tech death background, this EP was a way to lead our fans into the next era. Between The Worlds of Life and Death is an album that really is just a continuation of what we started with Accursed. It captures the band's core sound, but also brings a newer and bold take on this brand of metal. We want this to be the most approachable album we have made for metal fans. We want people to put this on and be sucked in immediately, yet keep coming back for more.”

1. The Forgotten Path (Intro)

2. Silent Prayer

3. Soul Offering

4. Shadow

5. Uncertain Tomorrow

CRUCE SIGNATUS RELEASE "CRUCE SIGNATUS"

 


PRESS RELEASE:

Cruce Signatus

Cruce Signatus

7 June 2024



CRUCE SIGNATUS, the project from Milwaukee, WI, based multi-instrumentalist David Frazer (PILLAGING VILLAGERS), is preparing to release their instrumental self-titled debut. This is the first of four releases that together produce the soundtrack to a feature length animated anthology. This is a project which collaborates with independent animators and illustrators to bring the story to life. Cruce Signatus is out on June 7th, 2024.


David Frazer comments: 

"Taking influences from a wide variety of sources, from the cinematic compositions of HANS ZIMMER and BASIL POLEDOURIS to the dark, brooding synthwave of GOST and PERTURBATOR, all passed through a heavy metal filter, CRUCE SIGNATUS represents a dynamic, ambitious venture into new musical realms."


About Cruce Signatus: 

CRUCE SIGNATUS' self-titled debut is the first of four epic concept albums which form the musical soundscape for a feature-length, animated anthology series. In collaboration with Heavy Metal Magazine illustrators such as Vincent Kings & Chris Anderson, this series unfolds the tale of an impoverished knight’s quest to confront his sins as he navigates the monstrous brutality of the First Crusade. 

Breaking down genre boundaries and casting aside traditional song structures, CRUCE SIGNATUS’ unique blend of synthwave and heavy metal emphasizes repeated build-ups, continually stacking melodies and rhythms into polyphonic climaxes. The four tracks on Cruce Signatus continually reference one another, building themes that change dimension and tone throughout.

BESTIAL COLONY RELEASE "SORDID DECAY"

 


ARTIST: Bestial Colony

ALBUM: Sordid Decay

LABEL: Morbid And Miserable Records

RELEASE DATE: April 26, 2024

GENRE: Thrash metal / death metal / black metal

FORMAT: CD and digital

FOR FANS OF: Celtic Frost, Master, Morbid Angel


BESTIAL COLONY Our History


BESTIAL COLONY started in the middle of 1990 by 4 teenagers who were inspired by the small but schcking metal movement in Singapore. The 4 teenagers, who never played a single instrument in their lives except for the guitarist, decided to record a demo just like what their pioneers — NUCTEMERON, DREAD & CRUCIFUCKTOR — did. The band was formed at a bus stop in Kallang on a Saturday afternoon with one question - "Shall we record a demo'" They volunteered to play the instrument they think they could play and planned a day to do the “recording”.

That fateful Friday afternoon, blasphemy was committed. The 4 teenagers had chosen the name BESTIAL COLONY, inspired by bands with 2-worded monickers, eg NAPALM DEATH, and locally DEATH SQUAD, XTREME OBSESSION and GLOBAL CHAOS. The 4 Muslim teenagers decided not to attend the weekly Friday prayers and booked a rehearsal studio instead. With a tape recorder in hand, the “band" went to Razzi M Studio and spent 2 hours abusing the instruments. On the way home, they listened to the “recording" and concluded they needed to practice their instruments and write songs.

Inspired by ABHORER, the band decided to use nicknames instead of their real names to represent themselves. This proved to be problematic as they had to convince the postal officers that they are actual recipients whenever they received registered parcels from overseas. The line-up of the band was:


Doomcaster — Vocals

Infernal — Guitars

Behemoth — Bass


BESTIAL COLONY released a demo, “Universal Decay" in 1991 before disappearing without trace. There were attempts to continue as SORDID (Infernal and Nefarious) and DOWNFALL (Doomcaster, Nefarious and a new guitarist) but by then Nefarious had started VRYKOLAKAS and things were moving faster and more seriously for him to ever continue with BESTIAL COLONY and its offshoots seriously.


The songs in that demo were:

1.Very Disturbed

2.Eternal Punishment

3. Universal Decay

4.War Of The Unseen

5.Resurrection


There was also a song titled “Hallucination" during the earlier days which the whole band hated. This song can be found in a rehearsal tape of the same title as the demo.


...Until February 2023. Nefarious was listening to the "Universal Decay" demo and asked the question "What if these songs were recorded with today´s recording resources?". So he recorded 8 songs as a one-man-band. 3 songs were written wogether with Infernal which were supposed to be in BESTIAL COLONY´s 2nd demo and then in SORDID´s demo were re-recorded as well.


1. Into the Sordid

2.Mutilated Death

3.Slow Torture

4.Very Disturbed

5.Eternal Punishment

6. Universal Decay

7. Hallucination / War Of The Unseen

8.Resurrection


Songs 1 — 3 Written by SORDID

SORDID between March to July 1991

Infernal — Guitars 

Nefarious — Drums 

Lyrics by Nefarious


Songs 4 — 8 Written by BESTIAL COLONY 

BESTIAL COLONY until July 1991

Infernal — Guitars 

Behemoth — Bass

Nefarious - Drums

Lyrics by Doomcaster 


With the current limited musicianship level Nefarious has, this is the product. A proto-metal aura, with the darkness of VENOM, the rage of CELTIC FROST and the weirdness of POST MORTEM and EXORCIST.
