8.Damned by Dogmas 06:19
EVIL DEAD is the title of Embrional's third full length featuring 8 tracks that follow up on the horde's death metal insanity, much more mature in terms of composition in comparison to the band's previous albums.
The music on the record is not only an expression of the band's explorations but, above all, a manifestation of the dormant emotions, angst and darkness. It's an album most diversified in terms of composition, but also a piece of very straightforward and devastating death metal. It contains both very heavy and crushing, depressing sounds, and maniacal twists and turns. EVIL DEAD is not an album that flows peacefully but leaves you disturbingly craving for more...
Find out for yourself, enter the abyss of the poisoned sounds of EVIL DEAD!

PRESS RELEASE:
Band: Dictator
Album: Dysangelist [re-issue]
Country: Cyprus
Genre: Black/Funeral Doom Metal, Dark Ambient
Label: Aesthetic Death
Release date: January 7th, 2019
The responsibility of the artist is to be true, nothing more and nothing less. Even if that means to turn the eye inwards to inspect and dissect whatever lies within him which is petty, self-centred, extraneous. Dictator, rummaging, at first, through the unrefined turmoil of adolescent angst, finally, through no lack of painful introspection, managed to crystallise a vision into something which transcends both the creator and the listener. Now his blood and toil belong to us. Here, reverence and horrific dissonance find themselves in an unlikely alliance. What God transpires through the creation’s lyricism is not a God the common mind can bear. And what better way to bring Him into consciousness than music? For it is only music which overcomes matter on this earth. As such, the music itself is not an exercise in poignant self-indulgence but rather, a litany, an act of audial martyrdom if you will. The choice of labelling is incidental, funereal, suicidal, whatever. The point is that the man plunged his hands into the heart of the beast and held it for us bloody and obscene. Blinding to the many, liberating to the few, there are indeed precious shards of light which escape between these sombre notes and penetrate most acutely, almost welcomingly. That is the nature of Dysangelist, it cannot reveal, only awaken.

Usurper
Lords of the Permafrost
Soulseller Records
22 February 2019
Legendary Chicago metal band Usurper returns to the airwaves this March with their sixth album, Lords of the Permafrost, via Soulseller Records. Founding members Rick Scythe and Joe Warlord are joined by bassist Scott Maelstrom and Cryptobeast-era vocalist Dan Tyrantor for a release that captures the band's unrelenting determination to bring heavy metal horror to the masses.
Says the band,
"After a 14-year hiatus, Usurper are proud to return with our sixth full length album entitled, "Lords of the Permafrost". Back when we formed in 1993, we had the goal to create heavy, memorable songs with the anthemic quality of traditional Heavy Metal, combined with the heaviness of death metal, the fury of thrash metal, the atmosphere of black metal and the straight-forward, ass-kicking of 70's Hard Rock.... 25 years later, we feel we have stayed true to our original objective and have recorded the quintessential Usurper album. Lyrically these songs explore topics such as monster folklore, the paranormal and other obscure tales, all while being delivered with a lethal dose of Heavy Metal bravado. Usurper never have, and never will chase trends. We have only returned to bring our next chapter of metal to the Worldwide Warriors of Iron and Rust, and kick maximum ass!"
The band has released a lyric video for the album's title track which can be viewed here:
About Usurper
Formed in the early 1990s, Usurper has released five full length albums and toured worldwide, headlining metal festivals in Europe and the United States and also supporting the likes of Manowar, Cradle of Filth, Enthroned, and Enslaved. Eschewing social and political ideologies, the band writes classic heavy metal anthems that incorporate folklore, science fiction, and paranormal topics. On the eve of releasing their sixth album Lords of the Permafrost, which may be their strongest work yet, this Usurper delivers a heavy metal punch in the gut that's just as relevant today as when they rose through the ranks of the underground music scene twenty-five years ago.

They're not here to reinvent but to solidify in every imaginable way. The album is faultless - it's got everything the style needs and in the right doses. The production keeps it delectable and the gnarly artwork by the master artist Costin Chioreanu only brings to life their twisted yet meticulous music. FERAL are at the forefront of the Swedish death metal scene right now and are armed to teeth to drop what could be the best album this style needs.
