“ Vicious, dark and haunting! Very proud to announce the release of our 8th full length album, our new opus, "Tenebrous Shadow". it's the continuation of where we left off with "Taurvi" in 2022. However, it plunges deeper into the dark world of Persian demons & their bloody stories. Musically, I assure you will hear everything you expect from us! blast-beating, old school Norwegian black metal with a slight touch of oriental melodies. From the most extreme, evil & intense riffs to a heavy, catchy & melodic atmosphere. It’s not just collection of some songs but an album that takes the listeners on a journey through the depth of Persian mythology, combining musical craftsmanship with artistic finesse. “

INHERENT DOOM RELEASE "IMPRISONED BY THE HANDS OF TIME"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Imprisoned by the hands of time EP

by Inherent Doom

Tracklist:

1.Corrupted Depression

2.Spiral Faults

3.Deceitful Salvation 04:26

This EP is an introduction to the upcoming album with the same title. 3 tracks which are actually the last 3 tracks of the album track list are included.

Without directly mentioning the "time" 's name in the album, we tried to depict the feel of imprisonment within an unknown period of time. Where a person or a nation don't know when the next era is coming up to resurrect, and instead of pushing through creating changes, they just watch and follow the current.

In this case, we tried to make this an instance for the middle eastern people who are deceived by the false religion since 1400 years ago, and in the recent 1200 years, the spread of this infection went so far that people lost their true path.

AMONGST THE ASHES RELEASE "THE FABRICATED MONOLITH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish-based Amongst the Ashes has released new EP named "The Fabricated Monolith", featuring cinematic and epic atmosphere, an array of different vocals styles, and fast-paced riffs. Persian Setar, a type of lute used in Persian traditional music, highlights the song with its unique sound that's very rarely heard in extreme metal music.

Listen to "The Fabricated Monolith": https://push.fm/fl/amongsttheashes-fabricatedmonolith

Amongst the Ashes was established in 2018 as the solo project of Aelian Hallaji who has been a long-time musician/songwriter in Iranian metal scene. The band’s music is mostly based on combination of fast-paced heavy riffs and eerie middle eastern themes as a background for Hallaji’s metaphorically pleading words. The first Single “Blood Red Hands” was released in August 2020, followed by “Agonizing Awakening” EP in September as a one-man band, which got superb feedback and was featured on many radio shows, worldwide. Since early 2021, Aelian has moved to Finland and invited very talented musicians from Tampere, to cooperate. This EP will introduce the band’s new chapter and feature familiar elements from the earlier releases coupled with all the more aggressive touch and world-class production quality.

ARTAMENE RELEASE VIDEO FOR "INFINITE ESCAPE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Iranian Protest Metal band ARTAMENE have released a new video for "Infinite Escape", third single taken from the album "Ziggurat", out via Wormholedeath worldwide.

Artamene stated, "Through a childhood passion for Metal, the 2 brothers honed their talents by jamming and covering their different influences through childhood. This only fueled their passion and solidified the need for a formal band. Today Pedram and Pouya along with Soheil Avakh (Vocals) and Ali Karimi brave through and risk it all for a fuel-driven passionate band called ARTAMENE! Iran is one of the last frontiers where Metal Music and its fans have to break down barriers of prejudice and legal persecution under the false pretenses of Satanic Worship and other paganistic rituals, Artamene has set out on a difficult path of breaking barriers and scaling the cliffs of prejudice. Since its inception, Artamene has, in only a couple of years, quickly risen to perform in front of crowds of 500+ people."

"Ziggurat" is available as a digital album HERE

Line Up:

Pedram Shitrah/Lead Guitar/Founder

Pooya Shitrah/Drums/Founder

Ali Karimi/Rhythm Guitar

Soheil Avakh/Vocal

Yahya Rahmani/Bass Guitar

"Artamene’s Ziggurat is a blistering yet not overpowering journey into Persian mythology. The album is heavy and progressive yet still melodic."

ETHERALDINE RELEASE "A PICTURESQUE SCENERY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

A Picturesque Scenery

by Etheraldine

Tracklist:

1.The Wistful Echoes 10:45

2.Incandescent Phosphenes 10:48

3.Resplendent Fall 10:12

4.The Pendant Boughs 14:00

Once again, heralds are heard from afar, singing tunes of ancient times, when she walked this forest of ethereal sounds. They are bearing a message for us ephemeral beings. And those who can hear these enchanted tunes, will not miss the great landscape of what would be called as the end of an epoch.

The green forest is slowly going to fall asleep, as the leaves float in the air and dance to the eternal music of the autumnal zephyr. Mother is lullabying her precious daughters until they are all lost in their dreams. Petrichor is felt from the soil where the emerald children turn rufous.

This is a picturesque scenery of the neverending cycle of life.

ERANCNOIR RELEASE "BERGLICHT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Berglicht

by Erancnoir

Erancnoir is the fallen entity of autumn and the frozen entity of winter. His whispers shall not be heard and his emotions shall not be felt; unless ears and souls are welcome to the coldness of snow, and the falling of leaves.

Erancnoir is a part of Ardawahisht Kollective

Tracklist:

1.Bernstein 21:39

2.Winternacht 16:45

3.Eisfestung 12:01

4.Berglicht 20:08

Mountain light is the burning soul of a lone wanderer, who walked the endless winter path, carrying only a bracelet of amber as his only light source, leading him through the night and the darkness within, to find the mysterious fortress of ice, a place where the primordial secrets of life and existence lie hidden.

Mountain light is the burning soul of a lost wanderer, who passed through the gate of the ice fortress, discovered those forgotten secrets, dissolved in the perpetual flames of truth, and ascended to the firmament.

Mountain light is a tale of yearning.

Mountain light is a tale of ascension.

released February 7, 2020

"Deformed To Culmination is a very personal record for me.

For more than a year I saw myself drifting further and further away from Darkness and drawn towards the hallow pleasures of life, it continued to a point that I could no longer compose.

So I decided to start making this album as a sort of repentence to Darkness so it takes me back.

It speaks of my journey through the numerous obstacles of life until I rid myself of all of them and became complete."
