BLIGHTED EYE RELEASE "AGONY´S BESPOKE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The new album from Seattle's progressive blackened death quartet BLIGHTED EYE is now streaming ahead of its official release date later this month.

This early stream of Agony's Bespoke comes exclusively through Metal Injection. Listen to the album now at this location.

Agony's Bespoke is a monumental, hour-long work, marking a new height for the band's growing skills of songwriting and storytelling. Theatrical and immersive, the album is heavily inspired by the 2018 Australian film, "Nightingale," and tells a similarly tragic story. Highlighting the transformative power of violence and the ultimate futility of revenge, the album seeks to explore the lasting emotional and psychological impact of trauma.

Beyond The Top Records will release Agony's Bespoke on digipak CD, limited-edition vinyl, and digital formats on September 20. Pre-orders are available at:

WRAHHA RELEASE "HARBINGERS OF A HORRID CLEANSING"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Sentient Ruin is proud to announce a new partnership with emerging German black/death metal terror cult Wrahha. Hailing from Leipzig, Germany, Wrahha is the spiritual successor to the defunct Leipzig-based bestial Black Death cult Lihhamon, which existed briefly between 2015 and 2017. Wrahha is spearheaded by Lihhamon guitarist M., and new co-conspirators P. and F., continuing the previous band's unholy campaign down the path of omnipotent destruction and absolute sonic bedlam.

Wrahha's three inaugural tracks forming the debut "Harbingers of a Horrid Cleansing" demo tape here presented (released in America by Sentient Ruin and in Europe by AbArt Corruption) are a weaponized instrument of terror that in a bare ten minutes tests the limits of human resistance taking it to its bloodiest breaking point. The three tracks bring forth an unprecedented audial assault channeling the cruelty and mercilessness of black/death cults like Revenge, Diocletian and Heresiarch, while establishing Wrahha as a violent means of transcendence in its own right, not one who will ever follow in anyone's steps, but rather one meant to forge its own destiny and self-determination in crushing tyranny and cast its own destructive shadow across the path of anything or anyone who dare to oppose.

"Harbingers of a Horrid Cleansing" demo tape’s imminent arrival has now also been teased by European extreme metal blog Antichrist Magazine, who have premiered the track “Totalitarian Crucifixion Rite“ - you can check out the feature and listen to the track HERE.

As its title suggests, this demo tape release is like an omen or harbinger of Wrahha's horrid aural atrocity awaiting ahead in the form of the band's upcoming debut full-length, which will be a concept album about gaining and losing power. This demo is loosely based around the same theme. With "Berserker Elite...." the band depicts the mythos of the infamous frenzied warriors who went into battle in a trance before the regular troops, like harbingers of what is about to come. "Totalitarian Crucifixion Rite" is about the concept of maintaining power through terror, which in the end leads always to downfall. While the final song "Imperious Mastery..." introduces the theme of overthrowing and cleansing a totalitarian regime, as happened for example during the Trials of Nurnberg, where the foundations and vestiges of the old ideology were denied and erased to build something new.
