"AS THE WORM TURNS is a new Swedish metal act. They are a bunch of guys who are spread all over Sweden and Ukraine with different backgrounds in our music making including, jazz, punk and thrash metal. But our common denominator is that we all love metal and metal in all its forms. So we decided to do something fun together. It all started crassly enough with a couple of parties where we played each other's demos for each other and finally we came to the conclusion that we should do something about it. All or nothing. So in the end we took the devil by the horns and started to check out our secret projects.
We released a single last year that we are damn proud of, as well as a lyrics video that is available on Youtube.
Today September 18th marks the 50th anniversary of the release of a total CLASSIC. On September 18th, 1970 the almighty BLACK SABBATH released their second album, "Paranoid". Full of the classics that created the foundations for metal music: "Paranoid", "War Pigs", "Iron Man", "Electric Funeral", "Hand of Doom", among others. Many great albums followed but "Paranoid" is the one that set the band apart from the rest of the band`s of that era.

Unleashing their new album “Ascend To The Throne” this past July via Head Rattle Productions INC., Vancouver's Saints of Death are sharing with fans their new lyric video for the track "Watching Me Die" (Check below). The song is about the destruction of the Earth by corporate greed.
"Watching You, Me, humanity, and Mother Earth die to the hands of unjust corporations and tyrannical governments." adds the band.
For fans of Pantera, DevilDriver, and Arch Enemy, you can check out Saints of Death's new lyric video with its double bassist assault.
Saints of Death's new album “Ascend To The Throne” is a 7 track ripping and cohesive released and the second in the Saints of Death repertoire following the 2015 self-titled EP. With a different lineup than the debut effort, Saints of Death now boasts a more robust group that is tighter, more aggressive, and more melodic than ever before along with still featuring their signature sound of having two bassists.
The band comments:
"This album has been a long time coming, and we look forward to getting it into the ears of our fans, new and old alike. After dealing with line up issues for a few years, we finally have a solid line up and are back to kicking ass. The current line up has been together since 2018 and we have really gelled as friends and as band members. Naturally, with this kind of chemistry going on, it was finally time to record a new album.
Like the first EP, there is diversity between each song, allowing each of them to stand out as hard-hitting singles. There is also the consistency that allows the songs to come together as a great album. We talk about important topics such as the trials of society, corruption and corporate greed, mental health as well as a few other topics on this album. Saints put a lot of hard work and passion crafting this album and making it what it is and we're excited to share it with the world!"
"Ascend To The Throne" is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music.

Today, DRACONIAN, the sovereigns of melancholic Gothic Doom Metal and far-reaching lyrics, release their fourth single, "Moon Over Sabaoth", cut from their upcoming studio album, Under A Godless Veil, out October 30, 2020 via Napalm Records. CHeck the lyric video below these lines.
The seventh full-length of the Swedish five-piece and second one with talented Heike Langhans on vocal duties, appears exactly five years after DRACONIAN’s latest album, Sovran, and guarantees a complete immersion into the band’s essence. Starting off with a soft guitar intro, DRACONIAN's new single "Moon Over Sabaoth" soon breaks off into Anders Jacobsson’s ghastly growls paired with a stomping doomy rhythm. Complemented by Heike's angelic voice, the vocals will touch deep inside your soul and interweave with stunning melodies and bone-crushing riffs. An artful conceptualized lyric video underlines these atmospheric tunes of melancholic beauty.
Lead guitarist and main composer Johan Ericson comments:
"Moon Over Sabaoth is a perspective song that crawls in towards its end destination. Monotone doom riffing accompanied by some heavy drums. Together with Anders harsh, desperate vocals leading up to an almost anthemic chorus. We stand tall..."
Under a Godless Veil delivers a captivating mélange of dreary doom and contrasting vocals. The first notes of the opener will immediately draw the listener into a void of interweaving beauty, coalescing with paralyzing depression that leaves nothing but the desire of total immersion in the whole record. Under a Godless Veil carries the legacy of gothic doom metal à la My Dying Bride into a new decade of the genre.
DRACONIAN states: “To DRACONIAN, Under a Godless Veil is by far the most diverse album we have created. Inspired by some of the music closest to Johan’s heart; everything from traditional Doom to scaled-down, Gothic rock-inspired pieces and more. Some will perhaps describe the songs as more refined and meditative. Some ambient elements have been added to the mix without overshadowing the traditional characteristics that are DRACONIAN.
Resonating with the compositions, Anders’s lyrical direction is ambiguous and a progression of the first two-three albums, yet more subtle while embracing the Gnostic philosophy more directly. One could say Under a Godless Veil is an act of contemplation; About living and dying and remembering who we are in a strange, abrasive world far from home.“
