DELIRIA RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "SPELLCRAFT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Post black metal outfit, DELIRIA have unveiled pre-orders for their upcoming 7". The release is set to come out on April 5th and will include two songs. One of the tracks "Spellcraft", is available to listen to right away. 

The band comments:

" 'Spellcraft ' marks the first time DELIRIA will be heard on vinyl. We are excited to offer this as a sample of what’s to come on the new full-length album Phantasm.

Thematically, "Spellcraft" transforms you into a creature by a witch in the woods, while the second side, "Gemini", portrays the grim reality of darkness and duplicity.

Jade crafted the cover art painting herself, and we are thrilled to release new long sleeves with the design as well.

"Spellcraft" crushes you with haunting melodies and dark atmospheres, where beauty and darkness create a tapestry of everyday misery. With every morbid riff and each introspective lyric, this release defines our spectral sound."

About DELIRIA:

DELIRIA is an evocative post black metal band from the San Francisco Bay Area formed in 2017 by David Scanlon (DAWN OF OUROBOROS). A fundamental critique of consciousness, the band crafts ordinary life in endogenous melancholia. Quickly joined by vocalist Adam Rupp (KILL THE MESSENGER), the duo sought drummer Jared Klein (RIVERS OF NIHIL) to record their debut album, Nausea.   

Inspired by existential dread, Rupp's tortured misery and Scanlon's somber melodies coalesce in bleak pessimism and gloomy aurorae. In 2018, the additions of guitarist Brent Rockwell (THE UNDYING) and Jade Forsythe (EMBRIUM) secured a live lineup, with DELIRIA performing alongside acts such as TYR, ULCERATE, and THE ZENITH PASSAGE.  

The band re-entered the studio in 2020 to record their second full-length album, Phantasm. Bolstered by Andrew Baird (FALLUJAH) on drums, DELIRIA expands its melancholic approach, this time highlighting its morbid and occult arrangements. DELIRIA’s current lineup features the addition of drummer Brandon Clevenstine (SYMBOLIK). Together the quintet has gathered enthusiasm among fans of their influences, such as KATATONIA, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, and FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM.

Band Lineup:

Vocals: Adam Rupp (KILL THE MESSENGER)

Guitar: David Scanlon (DAWN OF OUROBOROS)

Guitar: Brent Rockwell (THE UNDYING)

VERITERAS is set to release its sophomore full-length album, The Dark Horizon, on April 11.

"The Dark Horizon really leans in on our old school melodic death metal roots, and as a result has a more blackened melodic death metal sound compared to our previous release, Shadow of Death. There's more tremolo picking, more blast beats, but still holding on to a very melodic core. We're very happy with how the album ended up, and we grew a ton through the process. The songwriting is more mature, the lyrics are stronger because Sean wrote most of them instead of me, the musicianship is better, and the mix is fantastic. We're all super excited to be sharing this album with the world, and hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!"

- Santtu Winter (Veriteras)

ULTIO RELEASE "COR"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

"Cor" is the second release by Black Metal project ULTIO, and it will be released via Brucia Records on May 23rd, 2024 on digital and a limited run of 6 panels Digipack CDs.

The track "The Grey Inferno" is now streaming HERE.

5 years exactly after its first EP “Fera”, ULTIO is back with yet another relentless slab of pure, abrasive Black Metal.

An emotionally shattering experience crafted with the intent of re-evoking a time when Black Metal was simply Black Metal - dark, menacing, uncomplicated and extreme.

Ultio is a project by Giorgio Barroccu (DERHEAD) and “Cor” can be considered like the twistedly demented brother of “The Grey Zone Phobia”, DERHEAD’s latest album released back in March 2023.

Another side of the same, dark coin - ULTIO shares DERHEAD’s very same dramatic tension and despair, however showcasing here a magnificently unrestrained and raw soul: behind a gloomy wall of freezingly cold riffs and shrieking screams ULTIO ascends maniacally, building a sense of impending peril and oppression - dissonance after dissonance.

Similarly to the previous EP, the writing and recording process of “Cor” was also very instinctive and took place in the space of only a few weeks: the result is something furious and unhinged, raw and visceral - and yet, somehow, grandiose and triumphant in all its bestial savagery.

FFO: Marduk, Funeral Mist, Gorgoroth.

Tracklist:

1 - Spikes (04:21)

2 - The Grey Inferno (05:14)

3 - Wretchedness (04:43)

4 - A Thousand Times More (05:16)

5 - Looking For Eyes (05:19)

6 - Cor (06:02)

Written and performed by Giorgio Barroccu
