The Heathen Scÿthe Unveils Debut Self-Titled EP: A Ritualistic Journey into Post-Apocalyptic Pagan Metal

Prepare to embark on a mystical journey as The Heathen Scÿthe, a revolutionary force in the Brazilian metal scene, unveils their debut self-titled EP on March 28th, 2024. This EP is not just a collection of songs but a complete ritual of Ceremonial Magick, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world of occultism, paganism, and ancient traditions.

The EP opens with the Casting of the Magic Circle, setting the stage for the ritual's purpose and inviting the ancestors to join. From there, The Heathen Scÿthe offers a sacrifice of fire, increases the Egregore with a Spiral Dance, and finally opens the Circle to the Universe. It's a mesmerizing journey that transcends mere music, delving into the depths of spirituality and mysticism.

Musically, The Heathen Scÿthe's sound is a fusion of pagan, symphonic, power, and classic metal, with elements of industrial, nu-metal, metalcore, and extreme metal. Their unique blend of genres creates a sonic tapestry that is as diverse as it is captivating. Visually, the band draws inspiration from the likes of Heilung, Rammstein, and King Diamond, adding an extra layer of theatricality to their performances.

For fans of Ghost, Mercyful Fate, and Rob Zombie, The Heathen Scÿthe offers a fresh take on metal that is both innovative and exhilarating. With their debut EP, they invite listeners to reconnect with the natural world and embrace the power of ancient traditions.

Formed in São Paulo by musicians with years of experience in the Brazilian scene, The Heathen Scÿthe aims to create a new concept that blends lyrics about occultism and paganism from different countries. Dubbed "Post-Apocalyptic Pagan Metal," the band's music is a reflection of their desire to reconnect listeners with the nature of their lands through music.

The EP's concept transports listeners to Year 17 A.A. (after the Apocalypse), approximately 600 years in the future. In this world, survival depends on understanding the cycles of nature, and The Heathen Scÿthe seeks to bring the message of ancient religions based in nature to people of other times, urging them to reconnect with the Earth before it's too late.

Prepare to be enchanted by the mystical sounds of The Heathen Scÿthe as they take you on a journey through the realms of post-apocalyptic pagan metal.

BETWEEN THE KILLINGS RELEASE "THE KILLING QUARTET VOL.2: OMNIPOTENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

BETWEEN THE KILLINGS – THE KILLING QUARTET VOL. 2: OMNIPOTENCE

LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC

RELEASE DATE: JUNE 7th 2024

“…for no man shall see Me, and live.”

– Exodus 33:20

A door opened in my mind and I tumbled through it, falling into a raging, black storm. The darkness poured into my mouth, filling the emptiness inside me and infusing me with purpose. Everything that had existed before that moment became meaningless; reduced to a set of fading photographs of forgotten places and faceless people. There in that room was everything that mattered…and I was transformed. I was god-like, their life held in my hands, their every desperate breath my gift to them. I was their alpha and omega. Their blood, their bone, their agony…all mine. Omnipotent in that perfect moment, my power absolute…I was not a merciful god.

The story continues, as Indiana’s Between The Killings return to their voyage through the mind of a killer and unveil The Killing Quartet Vol. 2: Omnipotence! Such is the level of aural violence that permeates every second of this new chapter that the listener is left shocked and breathless, within trembling touching distance of the chilling, soulless void that broods at the heart of those empty creatures that kill without remorse. This is death metal at its most pitiless and savage, the cascading riffs falling like knives puncturing skin, the drums an onslaught of blunt force trauma, the solos like desperate, dying screams, the bestial vocals tearing at the desecrated flesh, hungry for blood. ‘Details Of Sadistic Killings’ is an utterly frenzied assault, while the vicious precision of ‘Satisfaction Of Suffocation’ drills into your consciousness with pernicious sadism. Between The Killings tap into the original warped spirit of death metal and then drag it ever downwards into the dankest cellars, the foulest sewers, charnel pits and slaughterhouses where innocent victims depart this world, lonely, lost and afraid. Following faithfully in the gore-spattered footprints of 2022s The Killing Quartet Vol. 1: Reflections Of Murder, Omnipotence is merciless, malevolent and never meant for the light of day.

Adorned, like its predecessor, in the twisted comic artwork of Karl Dahmer (Exhumed, Gutulax, Nunslaughter etc) and mixed and mastered by Tony Tipton (Kraanium, Reap, Necrotic Disgorgement etc) at The Metal Foundry, every excoriating element of Omnipotence has been carefully, cruelly constructed to deliver the maximum damage. When Comatose Music let loose this ravening beast on June 7th the walls of sanity will be breached and the bastions of morality overrun. Horror beyond imagining awaits.

Line-up:

Braxton Keyser - Vocals

Ian Dygulski – Bass

Miles Ellegood – Lead Guitars

Von Young – Guitars

Justin Wallisch - Drums

Genre: Brutal Death Metal

For fans of: Cannibal Corpse | Gorgasm | Desecration | Lividity

REPLACIRE RELEASE "THE CENTER THAT CANNOT HOLD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Center That Cannot Hold

by Replacire

REPLACIRE is the brainchild of guitarist Eric Alper, who founded the band in 2010. The American tech metal prodigies hailing from Boston, Massachusetts self-released their debut full-length 'The Human Burden' in 2012. The album's unique and wide-ranging material was an ambitious statement of intent that quickly established the New Englanders as a must-follow heavy act in their corner of the US.  

Tracklist:

1.Bloody-Tongued And Screaming

2.The Center That Cannot Hold 03:05

3.Living Hell

4.A Fine Manipulation

5.The Helix Unravels

6.Drag Yourself Along The Earth

7.Inglorious Impunity

8.The Ghost In The Mirror

9.Hoard The Trauma Like Wealth

10.Transfixed On The Work

11.Uncontrolled And Unfulfilled

The idea behind Replacire’s third album was simple. Write some straight-ahead chuggers to feed the mosh pit the next time these bearded whiz kids went on tour.

Of course, like any band that’s worth its weight in colored sands, Replacire deviated from that initial thought pattern. After disappearing down a seven-year rabbit hole, they emerged with more mind-bending tech-death workouts. The title track ties your brain into a pretzel with knotted syncopated percussion and glitchy finger taps.

It wasn’t always so easy. But despite countless Zoom calls, bouts with sleep paralysis and one near trip to the hospital, the Boston band stay strong on The Center That Cannot Hold. “I impose all I am / Death entwined, rage inside / Blackened sky” new vocalist James Dorton roars, as if raising the weight of the world high above his shoulders.

On The Center That Cannot Hold, Replacire flex all of their muscles.

Produced and Engineered by Eric Alper

Mixed and Mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios
