NE OBLIVISCARIS RELEASE "EXUL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Exul

by Ne Obliviscaris

About

‘Exul’ personifies Ne Obliviscaris’ distinctive, boundary-pushing ethos. The band’s trademark blend of emotion and beauty is as towering as ever, if not even more compelling, particularly how the haunting violin lines carefully weave their way around the riffs. The duality of Charles’ clean vocals and Xenoyr’s growls remains the narrative anchor, elevating songs that emanate sophistication and are a masterclass in composition.

releases March 4, 2023

Tracklist:

Side A: Equus

Side B: Misericorde I - As the Flesh Falls / Misericorde II - Anatomy of Quiescence

Side C: Suspyre

Side D: Graal / Anhedonia

Danish extreme metal veterans STRYCHNOS reveal their long-awaited debut ‘A Mother’s Curse’ on Colorado Springs’ Dark Descent Records.

Formed in 1997 by Martin Leth Andersen (also of Undergang fame), STRYCHNOS might just be the Danish underground’s best kept secret. ‘A Mother’s Curse’ is the product of a craft perfected over 25-years of toil, a true celebration of extreme metal mastery that surpasses all genre limitations.

“We are proud to finally present eight tracks of pitch-black death metal tragedy as it was always intended to be: Dark, atmospheric, brutal, and tragic!” exclaims Andersen.

The intricately sculpted compositions shift seamlessly between moods of terror, hope, and tragedy, building a momentous atmosphere rarely achieved in this day and age. Add to this the inventive riffing and bone-shattering vocals of the highest order and the result is ‘A Mother’s Curse’.

The truly complete work is wrapped in stunning cover by the inimitable Daniel Corcuera: “The chilling motif is based on Danish sculptor Niels Hansen Jacobsen’s statue ‘Death and the Mother’ from 1892, depicting a young woman in the moment of ultimate tragedy. Jacobsen was inspired by the ending of ‘The tale of a Mother’, a story written in 1847 by famous author Hans Christian Andersen: “And Death walked with her child into the unknown land.”

HATAMI RELEASE "SUSPERIA"

PRESS RELEASE:

Susperia

by HATAMI

Tracklist:

1.Susperia 05:09

2.The Beast 03:22

3.Earth 06:23

4.To Be Contunued... 01:15

The release was inspired by fantastic ideas about space, an unknown oppressive future, new planets with their own world, atmosphere and laws - representing a utopia, the gradual destruction of the planet as an allegory to the reality around us. The texts and images they evoke describe a planet that is gradually being taken over by Chaos and there are few people left who are trying to survive. The cause of evil is a creature, a giant worm that lives and mystically negatively affects all life on this planet. This is expressed in music by performing technical riffs and guitar techniques, extreme vocal parts and non-standard, original sound arrangements.

AUTARKH RELEASE "TURBULENCE" SINGLE

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Dutch extreme metal outfit AUTARKH are now releasing the first track, ‘Turbulence’ from the upcoming debut ‘Form in Motion’. The new album will be released on March 12, 2021 and pre-orders are now live HERE.

Listen to ‘Turbulence’ via the official Season of Mist YouTube channel HERE.

Founder Michel Nienhuis comments: ‘Turbulence’ is a song about an ongoing realization and understanding of internal conflict. Change is necessary and inevitable but seems unattainable and out of range. ‘Turbulence’ is the first full blown song of the album and is quite representative of the AUTARKH sound – up-tempo blasts versus downtempo grooves, locking harmonies versus chaotic dissonance and ethereal layers versus dark growls. This visualizer is the result of a first experiment of our producer and sound designer Joris Bonis with his analog oscilloscopes from the 1970’s, that generate images based on audio. We invite you to join in on this new chapter of our musical evolution.

BLACK SUN BROTHERHOOD RELEASE "GOD & BEAST"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: Black Sun Brotherhood

Album: God & Beast

Country: Norway

Genre: Extreme Metal

Label: Metal Blast Records

Release date: September 11th, 2020 (CD) / September 18th, 2020 (Digital)

The almighty maniacs of the BLACK SUN BROTHERHOOD are now releasing their full-length debut “GOD & BEAST”! The album features 11 songs of pure, raw death-groove and bone crushing brutality. The CD version will be released by METAL BLAST RECORDS from Germany on September 11, 2020. It will also be available in its full glory on all major digital platforms from September 18, 2020!

BLACK SUN BROTHERHOOD is an extreme metal band from Sarpsborg, Norway. Their sinister sound can be described as a coldblooded cocktail of old school black punk and diabolical death metal! The band started in 2013 and features musicians with long involvement in the Norwegian music scene and the metal underground in particular. The band members have previously been involved with metal acts such as THE HELHEIM SOCIETY, DEATHSEEKER, TYR and the notorious proto-Black Metal act THYABHORRENT. They have also been central members in rock/progressive/experimental music groups like SCHÆFER, KVAZAR and VENDETTA BLITZ… and the list of pure greatness goes on and on….

The brutal brotherhood is driven to create authentic, intense and raw music, and they are now on a mission to spread their black magic made music all over the world. Simultaneously they also plan on getting ridiculously rich and famous. All living creatures will also be ritualistically and savagely sodomized to death in the aforementioned process of total world domination.  

BLACK SUN BROTHERHOOD is: Dr. Doom – bass & vocals | Lieberknecht – drums | Knegg – guitars

_____________________________

"Existing at the nexus of modern classical music and extreme metal, INHUMANKIND have a completely unique sound. Aggressively played flute, acoustic bass, and occasional vocals are excellently employed to create compositions that are simultaneously sparse and complicated, awkward and confident. This is one of the most original albums to come across my desk in quite some time!"

– Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice, Behold...The Arctopus)

A duo from Barcelona, Spain, INHUMANKIND is the audacious project of two young musicians, Pablo Selnik (flute) and Àlex Reviriego (double bass), both active in many underground avant-garde acts and both in love with a wide spectrum of music, including black metal, contemporary, free jazz and noise. “The INHUMANKIND project emerged a couple of years ago,” Selnik explains; “after working together on several projects, we decided to start playing some black metal covers re-arranged for a flute/double bass duo, but soon we realized there was some kind of potential on it, and we started writing original music, prioritizing a personal style and music language.”

The result is “Self-Extinction”, a short but very intense and satisfactory album produced by Colin Marston. It reflects the band's audacity and marked individualism, as well as its spiritual approach to darkness and its manifestations through many left-hand-path archetypes: qliphotic tree, hermetic kabbalah, grimoric magic and multi-pantheon deific masks like Lilith, Kali, Qayin, and Samael, all in a subtle, non-explicit way.

Graced with the intense vocal performances from Celeste Alías and Marta Valero, and the occasional death growls of Eric Baule (MOONLOOP), “Self-Extinction” is an inventive work of de-construction and transfiguration of the metal genre. Acoustic heaviness and depths are granted by the low frequencies of Reviriego's double bass, while the frantic, orgiastic melodies played by Selnik's diabolical flute blend in perfectly with the ritualistic vocals adding an enigmatic, esoteric aura to the whole.

NAERAMARTH RELEASE "THE INNUMERABLE STARS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Innumerable Stars

by Naeramarth

Tracklist:

1.Through the Cosmos I: Event Horizon 03:15

2.Asterisms 08:50

3.Condescension 06:44

4.Cabed Naeramarth 03:14

5.Luminous Beings (feat. Jørgen Munkeby) 07:02

6.Subterranean 06:36

7.Lunar Sea 05:00

8.Through the Cosmos II: The Arrival 16:34

Named Dead Rhetoric's #1 "Sifting Through Bandcamp" Album of 2017, The Innumerable Stars takes the listener on a progressive voyage of discovery. Rooted in the sonic soil of Mellotron-drenched progressive metal acts, Naeramarth explores a variety of progressive spheres. From the frigid and earthy lands of progressive black metal, to the forlorn melancholy of melodic death and doom metal, with a cinematic bombast and theatrical spirit. The Innumerable Stars features the harsh vocals of Paul Black and culminates in the over-16 minute long epic, Through the Cosmos II: The Arrival.

"An album that came out of nowhere and simply stunned with its progressive glory, The Innumerable Stars is an emotive yet cerebral trip. Taking a sound similar to bands like Leprous and bringing it towards more extreme waters (like Dark Tranquillity or Enslaved), the merger of familiar elements into unique territory is exquisite. A clear labor of love (this is a one-man act mind you), Naeramarth shines brighter than many label-backed and highly publicized releases this year. A real diamond in the rough and just a sheer joy to listen to." // Dead Rhetoric
