Canadian technical death metal band BENEATH THE MASSACRE has released a drums playthrough video for the tracks "Rise of the Fearmonger". On the video you can see drummer Anthony Barone delivering the complex patterns of the opening tracks from BENEATH THE MASSACRE latest album "Fearmonger" that was released last February through Century Media Records. Here is what Anthony says:
"Hey everyone! It's been a while. This is a drum playthrough of one of my favorite tracks from the new Beneath the Massacre record, FEARMONGER. It's the first song on the record and certainly one of the most challenging to play. When we recorded this album in Montreal with Christian Donaldson, I really pushed myself to the limits. Working with Beneath the Massacre really represents a big milestone in my extreme drumming career thus far, and was a huge personal goal achieved. Thanks for checking it out and I hope you enjoy it! Please like, comment, and subscribe!"

New Zealand's speed metal overlords STÄLKER are returning with yet another lesson in raw and in-your-face heavy metal, breathing the spirit and danger of the glorious 80s.
Following 2019's globally acclaimed Powermad EP, the band's impatiently awaited second full-length album, Black Majik Terror, will be released on October 30, 2020 via Napalm Records.
As STÄLKER weaves through tales of darkness and the ever present evil in the world, they close Black Majik Terror with the monumental "Intruder". This track employs everything the band does well - from their exaggerated vocal style to rapidly executed riffs and is an exquisite culmination of STÄLKER's work leading to this point. Everything you want from Speed Metal can be found here.
"Intruder" is the second single being released off Black Majik Terror, following the anthemic "Of Steel And Fire". The song is accompanied by a raw tale of rabid outlaws tearing through a post apocalyptic hellscape - viewers are in for a real treat!
