YOUR LAST WISH PREMIERES “EXILE” DRUMS PLAYTHROUGH


PRESS RELEASE:
Montreal's melodic death metal band YOUR LAST WISH jave released a new album "Eradicate" last February and now they have released a video of the drums playthrough for their track "Exile" (check below). 

Eight years after their sophomore album 2012’s “Desolation”, Montreal, QC melodic death metallers YOUR LAST WISH is back in full force with a new darker and heavier sound with their third studio release 2020’s “Eradicate”. The concept album beautifully exploits post apocalyptic themes. The album was composed and recorded entirely by guitarist David Gagné, while all lyrics were written by vocalist Roxana Bouchard. More than half the songs on this bilingual album are in French. Track ‘Pandore’ features a guest appearance by Beyond Creation’s Simon Girard.

Track by track explanation:
– Eradicate: Thrashy melodic death metal madness. It’s the most straightforward song of the album. It was made to be a single.
– Exile: Oldschool thrash influences, also introduces odd-time signatures.
– Monarque: One of our four songs in French, long instrumental passages and probably the most progressive song of the album.
– Décimé: It has a strong middle-eastern / tribal vibe and oldschool death metal riffs.
– Lost: Groovy, mid-tempo and orientally ambient soundscape to bang your head to.
– Pursuit: A clash of modern and oldschool death metal, all in one package!
– Pandore: Tribal prog duet with Simon Girard from Beyond Creation. Musically unleashes the apocalypse.
– Prestige: Originally written by Jean-François Gagné, very reminiscent of the previous album “Desolation” (2012).
– Le cri du monde: Thrashy beginning leading into an epic, cinematic conclusion to the whole album.

VOKODLOK RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR "IN THE MIND"


PRESS RELEASE
Romania's Black Metal band VOKODLOK release official lyric video for "In The Mind"

Check out In The Mind here - https://youtu.be/25fJ9O0fag8

Band comments:
"We are born without any given path, faith, beliefs. All that is infused in us as we grow and by the time we are conscious we already have a great storm of deception in our minds."

Hearing the call of damnation, four rebellious spirits, GhiauR, Strigoi, Blestemat and Claudiu, influenced by unholy music, joined the dark forces to be a part of the underground and formed the band VOKODLOK in the beginning of year 2000. Soon after Freak took over the drums and the band released the demo "Unchain the Wolf", which contains five tracks of aggressive Black Metal, inspired from the dark side of humanity and representing a hybrid between apocalyptic thoughts and soul tortures. The demo was released as MCD-gold by "Beauty of Pain" Productions (Romania) and as a split tape, along with "Bloody Harvest" (Germany) by "Axa Valaha" Prod. (Romania) and "Eclipse of Life Promulgation" Prod. (Germany).

In 2003 the band released the album "Mass Murder Genesis" containing 10 tracks that spreads ideas of crime through the ways of Black Metal, standing in the line of anti-christianity, combining malefic lyrics and the disgust towards the forced religions and the christian puritan values with devilish blast rhythms and raw sounds. "Mass Murder Genesis" was promoted internationally and was followed by intense years of live appearances in Eastern European countries, along bands like Vader, Hecate Enthroned, Mystic Circle, Cirith Gorgor and as a support band for Catamenia's East European mini-tour in 2005.

A few lineup changes followed In 2007 with Shaitaan on vocals and Urmuz on bass and after several concerts the band was put on hold in 2008.

Many years later the EP "Oracle's fury" was released on the 13th of May. Inspired by the ancient Greek philosophy and the human feelings, the lyrical story takes the listener through the primordial aspects of fear and faith.

The next full-length album is ready to be recorded and is planned to be released in 2021.

ABORTED FETUS RELEASE "PYRAMIDS OF DOMINATION"


PRESS RELEASE:
The world may seem to be in a permanent state of change and uncertainty at the moment, but there are still some things that you can trust. When the primal roar of ABORTED FETUS shakes the Ural Mountains then you know that an album of monstrous death metal is about to be unleashed. The passing years become the passing decades but these Russian beasts just get heavier and heavier with the passage of time and no-one is going to be disappointed by their latest invocation of evil.

Pyramids Of Damnation is the seventh full length album from ABORTED FETUS and it demonstrates an unflinching dedication to the art of death. Featuring some of the heaviest songs that the band have ever recorded, steeped in the rites and rituals of ancient Egypt and the flesh ravaging curses of vengeful gods, it captures an atmosphere and intensity that goes beyond anything the band have released before. Songs like ‘Locust Of Death’ and ‘Fire Spreading Over The Earth’ take everything to another level, with breathtaking riffs, intimidating power, howling solos and subtle shades of chilling eastern magic. Aborted Fetus have become one of the most potent death metal bands on the planet; the living, breathing, bleeding embodiment of the genre – defining and refining the meaning of death.
The alliance between Comatose Music and ABORTED FETUS remains unbreakable and on September 11th they will let loose Pyramids Of Damnation onto the defenceless world; an elixir of life for fans of bone-breaking heaviness and extremity...a sentence of death to the weak. The unstoppable force of ABORTED FETUS has returned once more and damnation awaits!

For a first taste of Pyramids Of Damnation you can check a  premiere of the track 'Invasion Of Bloodsucking Insects' below!

VESTAL CLARET RELEASE "VESTAL CLARET" ALBUM


PRESS RELEASE:
Vestal Claret - Vestal Claret
Self-Released
23 June 2020

Critically acclaimed occult metal band VESTAL CLARET are pleased to announce that they have released their new self-titled album via Bandcamp.


After a dozen physical releases on various formats and labels, to a more and more saturated genre, Vestal Claret set off to compose something musically broader and songwriter-oriented. Cliches were avoided, as well as anything that could gallop or be muted in its riffing.

The first two songs written from the new record were “Abandoned” and “Shadows.”  Their creation, released as the demo Two Stones 2017,  was meant to be an experiment to pursue the possibility of stepping away from any heavy metal tendencies. Those two songs became a template for creating a new life for Vestal Claret, while also bringing the band back closer to its original intent.

Musically, the new recording relies on Simon’s natural progressive nature.  Influenced by his years in the New England music scene and his love of medieval folk, the creative process for this recording was an ideal situation.  He had complete freedom to perform and produce as broadly as he could imagine.

Phil wrote the lyrics while driving cross country, spending well over a year living in a van, split between the beaches of Southern California and the Sedona Arizona desert. Isolation and recluse are its strongest influence.

Mixing and mastering was provided by Arthur Rizk (Powertrip, Sacred Riech, Cromags, Cavalera Conspiracy, Code Orange, Pissed Jeans,Ghostmane, Inquisition) and drums were performed by Justin de Tore (Magic Circle, Innumerable Forms, Mind Eraser, No Tolerance, Rival Mob).

No boundaries or barriers confine this new vision of Vestal Claret. It contains as much simplicity as it does complexity. It has no intent nor idea to be a genre recording. Its only ambition is to complement the bands maturity as musicians and songwriters to the best of its current ability.


Vestal Claret is: Phil Swanson: Vocals; Justin DeTore: Drums; Simon Tuozzoli: Guitars, Bass, Organ, Percussion, Vocals, Various Instruments; 

Additional musicians: Matt Campbell: Piano; David Caldarella: Violin; Jessie May: Cello; Madeline Baldwin: Vocals; The Mother: Vocals

All Music by Simon Tuozzoli
All Lyrics by Phil Swanson
Produced and Engineered by Simon Tuozzoli
