DEAD TREE SEEDS RELEASE "PUSH THE BUTTON" ALBUM


PRESS RELEASE:

Band: DEAD TREE SEEDS
Album: Push the Button
Country: France
Genre: Thrash metal
Label: Music-Records
Release date: July 3rd, 2020 (Digital) and October 2nd, 2020 (CD)

From the ashes of the Thrash TRIAKANTHOS project, Nico and Alex decided in 2009 to continue the adventure, and completed a line-up by finding Franck on guitar, Tom on bass and Alban "Shamane" on vocals.

The foundations of a solid band resolutely oriented towards old-school thrash are laid.
The band makes its first concerts in very modest rooms but keeps a steady rhythm. The arrival of Pierre to replace Franck gives a more technical and ambitious direction to the sound, without leaving aside the brutal violence and they continue to scour the halls of the Paris region (in particular the Bastille Stage) with a few dates in the south of France.
The style becomes more complex, going from a thrash inspired by the great classics of Metallica or Megadeth and Slayer, to the most violent fringe of the first Kreator or Sepultura, passing by some more groovy forays like Testament or Pantera.

Finally in April 2013 the 1st album of DEAD TREE SEEDS (Seeds of Thrash) is released.
Following this album, Pierre and Tom decide to leave the band to devote themselves to other projects, both musical and family.

2014, Aurelien (guitar) and Sidi (bass) joined the band, followed by numerous concerts almost everywhere in France with in particular the first part of Angelus Apatrida

2016 marks yet another change following the departure of Alban in Germany and that of Nico for musical differences.
Dead Tree Seeds continues its journey and composes 8 songs in order to prepare the recording of the 2nd album in line with the first.

At the end of 2017 Ivanne on guitar and at the start of 2018 Frank Vortex on vocals joined the band with directly 3 concerts in 2018 including the first parts of no return, Mercyless, Insanity Alert ...

In early 2019, Ivanne left the band for professional reasons and was replaced in the process by Francois.

April 2020, the group signs with the Music Records label for the release of the 2nd album "Push the Button" scheduled for July 2020 (digital) and October 2020 (physical).

PSYCHOID RE-RELEASE "THRASH IMPACT" WITH NEW MIX


PRESS RELEASE:
Band: PSYCHOÏD
Album: Thrash Impact (re-issue with a new mix)
Country: France
Genre: Thrash metal
Label: Music-Records
Release date: August 28th, 2020

PSYCHOÏD is a Thrash Metal band where they distill Thrash, hard-line, old school with a touch and a modern cadence.

PSYCHOÏD causes torrents and destruction of rooms.

PSYCHOÏD, originally from Paris, was created in 2006 with a first line up that made the band noticed in the region which allowed them to share the stage with some national bands.

The change of line up paused the band but in 2015 PSYCHOÏD came back with a new line up and their first EP "Thrash Test".

The French media welcomed "Thrash Test". PSYCHOÏD defended the EP on stages and rebounded with their first album "Thrash Impact" which was recorded at Track Down Music, the recording studio of Music-Records. The album was released in April 2018. The album was very well received, welcomed by the French and European press, whose February issue of Rock Hard magazine placed the band as "discovery of the month".

From there, PSYCHOÏD fiercely promoted this new album on stage.

In 2020, Music-Records reissues the album "Thrash Impact" with new mixing and mastering, pending the new album.

Watch out for the impact!

BULL ELEPHANT PREMIERES NEW TRACK "WAYFARER"


PRESS RELEASE:

Anonymous UK collective BULL ELEPHANT, in collaboration with Grater Magazine, have premiered a new track from forthcoming sophomore album Created From Death. Stream "Wayfarer" below!

"Wayfarer" (Exclusive Premiere)

BULL ELEPHANT will release Created From Death on August 14th on Eat Lead and Die Music. Check out a lyric video for the title track on YouTube.

Pre-Order:

The album, part two in the BULL ELEPHANT trilogy mythos, picks up where the debut ended. The eponymous creature, originally resurrected to fight occultist Ahnenerbe SS just before the outbreak of world war, has been destroyed and reconstructed into human form; then placed into the care of a renegade ape. The child’s witch-mother sacrifices herself so the duo can escape and they live in exile for several years, attempting to remain hidden from the enemy.

Meanwhile, Nazi Germany and Allied forces fight battles on two fronts: in conventional theatres all over the world and as a secret war for control over supernatural powers that neither fully understand.

Eventually, after being discovered and temporarily under siege, our heroes are compelled into action; launching a campaign to harness nature against the worst of mankind’s impulses; which now includes reanimation at a mass grave site of an undead legion in service to the Reich. The ultimate renewable human resource.

As with the debut album, think of the background concept as Raiders of the Lost Ark set to a doom-tinged heavy metal soundtrack where Judeo-Christian mythology is replaced by the even more sinister universe hinted at in the writings of H. P. Lovecraft.... with Nazi zombies, assault wolves and a battle-armoured whale that makes Moby Dick seem tame.

Tracking of bass and drums, mixing and mastering was executed by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Cathedral, Ghost) at Orgone Studios, Bedfordshire, UK; while guitars and vocals were recorded at various bunkers around the UK.

The album will be available from Bandcamp as a 24-bit download. The accompanying physical release is a mini gatefold CD with artwork booklet giving more insight into the world of BULL ELEPHANT.

Track List:

1 Created From Death
2 Oneiromantic Rites
3 Lebensraum
4 Cult of the Black Sun Nemesis
5 Last Defilement
6 Perverted Science
7 Escape to the Arctic
8 Wayfarer

PERFECT NME UNLEASH LYRIC VIDEO FOR "SHADOW OF DOUBT"


PRESS RELEASE:

"REMAINS TO BE SEEN" digital album is available HERE

CD album is available HERE

The Band Stated: 

"Shadow Of Doubt is the 2nd single off the album "Remains To Be Seen". This song was an obvious choice for a single, with it’s a mix of up-tempo beats and solid groove, setting up a large melodic chorus! The song is about that moment in a given relationship when doubt starts to creep in, when you recognize the warning signs and you realise you’re repeating a pattern which has led to failure in the past, revisiting the ghosts. Visually we gave the artist free reigns to create their own vision based on the lyrics and feel of the song."

Line Up:
Colin Emery – Vocals
Eirik Jonnum Grinmes – Guitars
Terje Graven – Guitars
Ronny Syvertsen – Bass
Ravn Hansen - Drums
