Finnish doom/death metal act GRAIN OF PAIN has officially inked a record deal with Noble Demon and is set to unleash the band's debut album, entitled "The Moon Lights The Way", on May 31st. Led by the prolific Timo Solonen, the band's music is a potent fusion of dark, emotional melodies and powerful, guttural vocals.

GRAIN OF PAIN's lineup features a stellar cast of musicians, with Timo Solonen at the helm, showcasing his skills not only as a composer but also contributing growls and guitars. Joining him are Juho Räihä on guitars, Lars Eikind on bass and clean vocals, Juuso Raatikainen on drums, and Sini Pajunen lending her captivating vocals to the mix. Taka Eliel adds backing growls to enrich the band’s gloomy sound.

GRAIN OF PAIN's sound is characterized by its intense emotional depth and draws inspiration from a variety of influences to create a unique blend of dark atmospheres and powerful melodies. The band's commitment to their craft has already attracted attention: Lars Eikind won the prestigious Spellemannsprisen in Norway and both Juho Räihä and Juuso Raatikainen were nominated for a Finnish Grammy with Swallow the Sun.

Patrick Walch, founder, A&R and digital marketer of Noble Demon, about the latest addition to the label roster: "It's apparently no secret that we at Noble Demon have a soft spot for solid, heavy, melodic and doomy Metal from Finland. So, after hearing the first highly addictive songs by GRAIN OF PAIN we didn't hesitate but plan the debut album together with the super talented Timo to show the world once more why the rumors persist that the Finns are fed metal via mother's milk from day one!"

To get a taste of what's to come, listen to the album's title track and first single "The Moon Lights The Way", which is accompanied by a visually stunning lyric video.

Mastermind Timo Solonen about the track: "When you try to reach something which looks promising. Or if you try to get something back from your past life and it backfires badly. All the emotions run through your mind. Or is this really something else? Listeners will hear and experience this based on their life. I don't want to take that experience away."

"The Moon Lights The Way" will be released digitally on May 31st via Noble Demon. The album is now available to pre-save at this location: music.nobledemon.com/way

While their last effort “Zorn” took them into trve black metal territory, “Culture of brutality” strips that away and sucker punches you right in the throat with its very own brand of grindcore and death metal infused metallic HC, with pieces of crust, scramz and sludge thrown into the mix. 20 songs, delivered in under 34 minutes about gentrification, wage slavery & capitalism, sexism, mental health and the issues of modern western society. if its rage that you wanted, “Culture of brutality” will deliver.

DEMON SPELL RELEASE "EVIL NIGHTS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Evil Nights

by Demon Spell

Tracklist:

1.Demon Spell

2.Black Wings

3.Dark Deceiver (Woman of the black Oath)

4.Evil Nights 05:17

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present DEMON SPELL’s striking debut mini-album, Evil Nights, on CD and 12” vinyl formats.

How would you feel if, during the night, while you’re lying on your bed, something touches you in the dark? The air grows cold, their eyes emerge from darkness, and you feel your body tense. The shivers begin, shocked by horror, possessed by unholy force – you cannot escape from this hell. Now evil breaks loose and you’re under a DEMON SPELL!

Such is the sonic sensation of DEMON SPELL’s debut mini-album, Evil Nights. The Italian quartet may be name in name, but their sound is most definitely OLD. Among that lineup are such veterans as drummer Dario Casabona, who played with Italy’s legendary Schizo for 20 years, and guitarist Francesco Bauso, who was a founding member stoner-doom titans Haunted. Along with vocalist Federico Fano and bassist Riccardo Liberti, DEMON SPELL bring forth HORROR and EVIL in purest ‘80s heavy metal form: obsessed maniacs who were born under the sign of the moon during terrifying nightmares and morbid rituals. Black-magic riffs, hellfire-burning drums, and soaring King Diamond-esque vocals from Fano telling untold tales from Hell and the beyond. Indeed, it’s difficult to shake the early Mercyful Fate comparisons with Evil Nights, but when it’s done with such blanching authenticity and eerie power, why fight it?! Of course, we could also invoke such names as ‘80s Satan’s Host, Witch Cross, and even the almighty Death SS, but on evidence of the four songs presented here, DEMON SPELL are already on their way in stirring up a bewitching cauldron of nocturnal delights. Celebrate darkness and scream out heavy metal ‘til your very last breath during these Evil Nights!

SQUELCHING FLESH RELEASE "PSYCHIC INCARCERATION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Psychic Incarceration

by Squelching Flesh

Tracklist:

1.Old Fingers (feat. Will Smith)

2.The Drugging Puppet

4.Masterminding (feat. Will Smith)

9.Cracks In The Palms

Squelching Flesh is a new project emerging from New Jersey. Set against the grimy backdrop of 1985 Manhattan, their album "Psychic Incarceration" is not just another brutal release; it's a headbanging journey that brings innovation while staying true to the roots of the genre. The album artwork, an original piece by Vladimir Chebakov, intensifies the horror theme with its evocative style.

The creative minds behind Squelching Flesh are Tom Anderer (Reeking Aura, Grey Skies Fallen) and Terrell Grannum (Reeking Aura, Thætas), who skillfully blend the bone-crushing old-school slam with the gritty punch of goregrind. Their unique use of a six-string bass adds a deeper texture, and guest vocals from Will Smith (Afterbirth, Reeking Aura) and Paulo Paguntalan (Miasmatic Necrosis, Encenathrakh) elevate the intensity. Mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice), "Psychic Incarceration" achieves new heights of crude excellence, offering an exquisite mix of barbarity and precision.

Each track on the album narrates a tale of psychological torment and primal fear, drawing listeners into a dark world where demons lurk in the shadows of city streets. The clever lyrics and intricate compositions set this album apart, making it a must-listen for fans who appreciate bands like Blasted Pancreas, Afterbirth, and Demilich.
