THE CIMMERIAN RELEASE "AN AGE UNDREAMED OF..."

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Prepare for THE CIMMERIAN. This Los Angeles-based doom/thrash trio THE CIMMERIAN will set a crushing tone for the new year with An Age Undreamed Of... On their first full-length, this rogue set conjures images of high adventure and mayhem with an aggressive mix of sludgy-based rumblings, caustic fuzz-filled riffs, and sonorous war drumming.

The premiere of the album’s new single, “Darkwolf,” is now live at DeadRhetoric.com. Stream the song now at this location.

Bassist/vocalist Nicholas Rocha comments on the song, “Borrowing its name from the eponymous hero straight out of Ralph Bakshi's 1983 visual opus "Fire & Ice", this thrash-laden track evokes not just the rush of battle but also the weight of consequence and of course, the joy of victory!”

An Age Undreamed Of... will be released on January 10, 2025 via Bandcamp with all streaming platforms to follow. Physical copies will be made available on CD by Hyborian Rage Records with colored vinyl to be released by BVR (Black Voodoo Records).

Follow THE CIMMERIAN, for it is Crom's will. If you don’t – to hell with you!

Tracklisting:

1) Shadow Kingdom    

2) Neck Breaker of The Mountain    

3) Silver and Gold    

4) Darkwolf    

5) Mournblade

The groundwork for THE CIMMERIAN was laid in 2021 by guitarist David Gein and bassist Nicholas Rocha – two-thirds of crossover thrash group Septik Onslaught. The two were writing what would become the band’s first EP when a Craigslist ad brought drummer David Morales – armed with unyielding energy and a bag of Halloween candy – to the fold.

THE CIMMERIAN delivers a wall of sound that draws inspiration from the likes of Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Venom, and Gates of Slumber. Lyrical themes informed by a deep understanding of world history, mythology, and historical literature weave throughout this chainmail tapestry.

The band released their debut EP, Thrice Majestic, in the summer of 2022. By early 2023, they returned to Robert Frank’s Minor Chord Studio to record the two-track cassette/digital release, Sword & Sorcery Vol. I.

BURNING CREATION RELEASE "SEA OF DEAD BODIES"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Burning Creation is a band founded in early 2022 in Żywiec (PL) by the Klimonda brothers after the suspension of the Haures band. The band's lyrics touch on the subject of Vikings. Their music can be classified as melodic death metal, with strong vibe of Amon Amarth. In 2023, the band presented its debut release, the EP "Never Dead-Nation", and after a year of waiting, it will show its debut album entitled "Sea Of Dead Bodies". 

The new album is an aggressive, raw, death metal sound, interwoven with melodic accents straight from the frosty North. However, it is not only the sound and graphic design that evoke Scandinavia here. The main role here is played by the lyrics, referring to, among others, to mythological events, such as the winter of Fimbul ("Fimbulvinter"), the death of Baldur ("Tears Of Mourners") or the last battle of the warriors from Valhalla ("The Einherjers' Return"), about mythological, Scandinavian folklore ("Eaten By Hulder"), historical events, such as the siege of Paris ("Time Of Broken Shields"), as well as the original concept of Vikings returning from beyond the grave to take final revenge for the sins of this world. In almost every case, they are marked by cruelty, stained with the blood of the enemies of the warriors from the north, and also filled with the darkest of human emotions, as well as striking ugliness, imperfection. However, there is no shortage of glory for the fallen comrades, fighting for one's own, rising from one's knees and remembering one's values ​​and who one really is. Most likely, this direction will be continued on the band's next releases. Perhaps the scales will tip towards uncompromising death metal rather than one full of melody - towards even more bloodshed, but only the future will tell.

Klimonda brothers comments upcoming record: "Sea Of Dead Bodies consist of 9 brand new songs that take us to the world of Vikings and Norse Gods. This time, the corpses of warriors from the North have sailed on boats from across the ocean to continue the conquest begun on the "Never Dead-Nation" EP. In addition, the album will feature a bonus track in the form of a cover of Amon Amarth's "Burning Creation", a song that gave rise not only to the band's name, but also to the band's musical style and fascination with the North."

Music for upcoming release was recorded, mixed and mastered by Marek Stefaniak. Cover artwork was done by Damian Bydliński. Debut album titled "Sea of Dead Bodies" will be released on November 29, 2024 on digital format and CD by Polish label Via Nocturna (CD pre-order).

DEFILED SERENITY RELEASE "WITHIN THE SLUMBER OF MIND"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish melodic death metal band Defiled Serenity is set to release their long-awaited debut album Within the Slumber of the Mind on February 21st 2025 via Inverse Records. The second single 'Exiled to Infinity' is released today and music video produced by Tuomas Saukkonen (Before The Dawn, Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace) can be seen here: https://youtu.be/xoLSVDEy5iA 

Vocalist Paavo Laapotti comments: 

”The song's lyrics are about distressing and constant fear of death inside an individual's head. He's lost in his own mind and doesn't know what is real and what is fake. He only has a strong feeling that he's being chased and he's forced to escape into the unknown.” ”This is one of the oldest songs written for this album and it has been waiting for the right moment to be released. Well, the day is finally here and I'm very glad that we got the right feel into the song that it needed.”
