INNO ANOUNCE LIVE STREAMING EVENT


PRESS RELEASE: 
Italian dark metallers INNO - featuring current and former members of FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, HOUR OF PENANCE, THE FORESHADOWING and NOVEMBRE - will perform live in Rome, Italy, on Friday, July 17th, at 22:00 CET. 

The online event will be supported by Kick Live Streaming Service and will be streamed via the band's official social media channels. Facebook event at THIS LOCATION.

"The Rain Under", INNO's debut album, was produced by the band and mixed by Marco Mastrobuono and Giuseppe Orlando in Rome. Mastering was handled by renowned Danish producer Jacob Hansen (KATATONIA, VOLBEAT, EPICA). Last but not least, the cover artwork was created by Decline Design.

"The Rain Under" tracklist:
01. Suffocate

Emerging out of the Roman metal scene in 2017, INNO was founded by four veterans with the aim to create something that would differ from their past experiences within the metal world.

After spending a few months exploring their dormant influences, INNO came to shape a dark, doomy, heavy and progressive sound akin to eclectic acts such as Katatonia and The Gathering.

Line-up:

Elisabetta Marchetti (ex Stormlord, ex Riti Occulti) - Vocals, Piano, Acoustic Guitar
Cristiano Trionfera (ex Fleshgod Apocalypse) - Rhythm and Lead Guitar
Marco Mastrobuono (Hour Of Penance, Coffin Birth) - Bass
Giuseppe Orlando (ex Novembre, The Foreshadowing, Airlines of Terror) - Drums and Percussion

STENCH OF PROFIT RELEASED "NO PLACE TO HIDE"


PRESS RELEASE: 
STENCH OF PROFIT – NO PLACE TO HIDE
LABEL: LETHAL SCISSOR RECORDS
RELEASE DATE: JUNE 23rd 2020

A once perfect planet, a boundless Eden of plenty now lies dying...a long, slow death, choking on pollutants and ravaged by greed as rabid parasites run rampant across her burning skin. With all hope gone she waits in agony for a single spark to ignite that all consuming flame that will bring it all to an end; the last mistake, the final decision born from monumental arrogance, the ultimate expression of the truth at the rotten core of humanity. And then it happens...the world holds her breath...the parasites stand frozen in realisation...there is one perfect moment of stillness and silence that seems to stretch for eternity...and then the universe explodes.

Last year Italian grinders STENCH OF PROFIT teased us with the Human Discount EP, a furious but oh so brief assault on the senses. The wait for the follow up has been interminable – but none of that matters any more. The full length debut album is finally here and STENCH OF PROFIT have delivered an absolute masterpiece. No Place To Hide delivers twenty tracks of shockingly brilliant grindcore that will knock you clean off your feet. Human Discount was a fine release in its own right, but it barely hinted at what this fiercely focussed unit were capable of. ‘The Lake Of Void’ provides the perfect intro, a last few minutes of peace before absolute hell is unleashed and a megaton of napalm detonates in your brain. As with only the very finest grindcore, No Place To Hide isn’t just a collection of identikit bursts of rage – these are genuine songs, with every vital element in place, just delivered at mind boggling speed and with teeth grinding intensity. It’s no idle boast to predict that 2020 won’t see another grindcore album that comes close to matching what STENCH OF PROFIT have achieved with No Place To Hide. When ‘No Sun Tomorrow’ quietly closes the door on the nuclear holocaust that has gone before you will be left in ruins.

Lethal Scissor Records are establishing a formidable roster of extreme music talent and in STENCH OF PROFIT they have uncovered a something very special indeed. The countdown to extinction has begun and on June 23rd the firestorm will hit and there will be no place to hide...

“My hair was scorched by swirling flame 
My eyes grew dim my eyes grew blind 
Death came and turned my bones to dust 
And that was scattered by the wind” 
– from The Girl Child - Nazim Hikmet

Line-up: Maurizio - Vocals; Lory - Guitar & Vocals; Giovanni - Drums
Genre: Grindcore. For fans of: Brutal Truth | Nasum | Antigama | Terrorizer

NEKROKRAFT RELEASE DOUBLE SINGLE "WITCHES FUNERAL / RETURN OF THE KVLT"


PRESS RELEASE: Swedish black metallers NEKROKRAFT have re-recorded two pieces of music from their 2018 EP "Witches Funeral".  The songs will be released through The Sign Records as two separate digital singles. On June 5th, "Witches Funeral" will see the dawn of day, followed by the crushingly heavy "Return of the Kvlt" out on August 21st. 

About NEKROKRAFT: 
NEKROKRAFT thrives on delivering the darkest emotions through melodic blackened metal. This ungodly quintet dawned in Linköping, Sweden in 2012.  The band has an underground foundation that meets with the modern take on extreme metal, a unique modern vintage sound crafted with riffs, atmosphere, and melodies. Their lyrics revolve around occultism and folklore, borrowing inspiration from timeworn mythologies fighting to stay remembered.  The concept behind the name “ NEKROKRAFT” is a blend between the Swedish words “ death/dying ” and “ power ” merged together. 
In 2016, NEKROKRAFT was signed to The Sign Records' roster and released their first mini album, Will o’ Wisp, later the same year.  The troupe's first full length, Servants, as well as a remaster of the earlier Witches Funeral compilation were issued in the fresh days of spring 2018.  With appearances on major festivals such as Sweden Rock Festival and Gefle Metal Festival and two European tours so far, the thirst for turmoil remains unquenchable. 
NEKROKRAFT's performance manifests through potent vocals and charismatic stage presence, blended with unrelentless aggression and powerful melodies; it's a punch to the face and a headbanging feast.  Vocalist Angst Norder has also been recruited by Swedish blackened thrash metal legends Witchery. 
Something old was evoked in the late nights of December 2019, brewed in the attempt to summon a decrepit past.  NEKROKRAFT re-recorded two pieces of music from the Witches Funeral EP while working on their second full-length album (set to be taped in 2020). Combined with a revamped lineup, the forthcoming era seems prosperous for the blackened concoction that is Nekrokraft serves up. 
"We’re all about witches brew, the fucking woods and thrashing through the boundaries of hell." -- NEKROKRAFT. 

Lineup: Reaper -- guitar; Moloch -- drums; Angst Norder -- vocals; Iron -- bass; NekroDOC -- guitar
