INFERNALIZER RELEASE "LEAVING SO SOON?" SINGLE + VIDEO

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Infernalizer is a brand new creature conceived and brought to life by the creative mind of Claudio Ravinale to portray his own take on the heavy metal genre. Ravinale is best known as the vocalist of Italian death metal veterans Disarmonia Mundi, whom have achieved worldwide recognition with their high-octane melo-death throughout two decades and featuring Bjorn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork) among their ranks, along with being in other recognizable bands such as The Silverblack, 5 Star Grave and The Stranded.

Heavily influenced by 80's metal acts such as Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Danzig, and Ravinale's new project Infernalizer relies on the use of gloomy keys and eerie samples, paying homage to more somber gothic rock acts like Type O Negative and The Sisters Of Mercy. Vocally closer to contemporary acts like Rob Zombie and Wednesday 13, the range of influences also include evocative cinematographic soundscapes that provide Infernalizer's songs with a more solemn and nocturnal atmosphere.

"Leaving So Soon?" is the first single chosen to introduce Infernalizer. The track was produced by NeroArgento at AExeron Studio (Turin, IT) and mastered at Sterling Sound Studio (Nashville, TN) by legendary Grammy Award-winning mastering engineer Ted Jensen (Guns N' Roses, Korn, Pantera, Alice In Chains). Providing a modern take on the concept of heavy metal, the song features crooning vocals alternated with a more harsh yet still melodic tone adding a layer of evocative keys and samples to a solid foundation deeply rooted in 80s metal sound.

SCOUR ANNOUNCE "THE BLACK EP"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

SCOUR — the extreme metal supergroup featuring Philip H. Anselmo (Pantera, Down, En Minor, et al), John Jarvis (Agoraphobic Nosebleed), Derek Engemann (Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals), Mark Kloeppel (Misery Index), and Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Lock Up) – will release their long-anticipated "The Black EP" on Black Friday, November 27th.

Forged in 2015, SCOUR made its debut with the ferocious single "Dispatched." "The Grey EP", released via Anselmo's Housecore label, dropped in 2016, followed by "The Red EP" in 2017. Faster and tighter than ever before, this year’s "The Black EP" serves as the final release of the EP trilogy and is inarguably the band’s most ferocious effort to date. Mixed and mastered by Ryan Vincent at Apollo Audio Alternative with vocals and drums engineered by Stephen “Big Fella” Berrigan (Down, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Eyehategod), "The Black EP" includes guest appearances from Erik Rutan of Hate Eternal, Pat O’Brien of Cannibal Corpse, and actor Jason Mamoa (Dune, Game Of Thrones, Aquaman, et al).

“The latest SCOUR is the best SCOUR,” proclaims Anselmo. Adds Engemann, “This is our most fierce and ripping album to date. Completing the EP trilogy, "The Black EP brings a more mature musical approach without comprising the utter relentless brutality. We’ve got a few special gems as well that I’m stoked for people to hear.”

In advance of the EP’s release, today the band is pleased to offer up opening crusher, “Doom,” for public feasting. The track includes guest vocals by Jason Momoa and a guest guitar solo by Erik Rutan.

View SCOUR’s “Doom” video, created by Paul McGuire of Obscenery Films, at https://youtu.be/yfHbOSBWAeA

SCOUR’s "The Black EP" will be released on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats via Housecore Records (North America) and Nuclear Blast Records (internationally). Find preorder options at http://nblast.de/Scour-Black

The Black EP:

1. Doom

2. Nail

3. Propaganda

4. Flames

5. Microbes

6. Subprime

The sound of SCOUR can best be described as a modern reimagining of what primarily became known as black metal mixed with elements of grindcore and bits of punk and thrash. Without getting too caught up in genre classification, the result is a brand of ominously-hued, punishing minimalism that pays proper homage the the originators, without the trappings of being a “throw-back,” reimagining the lineage from primitive punk darkness into modernity. This nuanced approach was, perhaps, made crystal clear with the 2019 release of their cover of Bathory’s “Massacre.”

In its short existence, the band has graced the stages of many of the major players in both the mainstream and metal-oriented music festival circuits including Roskilde, Hellfest, Tecate Metal Festival, Maryland Deathfest, and more. As the lineage of its membership suggests, SCOUR continues to be a proverbial force with which to be reckoned both on the stage and in the studio.

THE SCHYTEHAWKES TO RELEASE "STREETS OF RAGE" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Check out 'The SchytëHawkës', a band from Birmingham UK that combines Thrash energy, Punk attitude and Grime spirit to create their own unique brand of agitated urban noise.

They have a new single 'Compass', which was released 25.09.20 taken from their upcoming EP 'Streets of Rage'.

Hurtling out of the dark back streets of inner city Birmingham England, come four headed punk metal monster The SchytëHawkës. Combining razor blade guitar riffs, a pummelling drilled to the floor rhythm section and a serrated two pronged vocal attack: half rapid fire MC'ing - half searing aggro sneer, the band draw inspiration from all corners of the musical spectrum, from Thrash and Hardcore through Grime and Hip Hop and beyond, to create their unique brand of agitated urban noise. Formed in the spring of 2017 when Guitarist / Vocalist Kieran Moloney shared demos with former bandmates: Vocalist / MC Carl Hewitt and Bass Player Peter Fisher, the band entered the studio to record for the first time. The results of that session would lay down the foundations of their uproarious genre-straddling sound. The band continued to work on new material, honing and developing their musical style whilst entering the studio periodically over the next two years, resulting in the explosive debut record 'Neck of the Woods'. With the gig scene hit by the global pandemic in early 2020, they shelved their planned live assault and joined by Drummer Leo Crabtree, they again turned their attention to the studio, recording new songs that would further progress their musical vision. Led by singles, the blistering 'Centipedes' and the ferocious 'Compass', the new E.P 'Streets of Rage' lands 27/11/20.  

Get Ready for Mayhem.

Track listing as follows:

1.Streets of Rage

2.Phoned in Excuses

3.Centipedes

4.No Actuary

5.No Sanctuary

6.Compass

LUNA IN SANGUINEM TO RELEASE "GLOBAL BLOODBATH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Riding in beneath a crimson moon, on the crest of a wave of blood come Luna In Sanguinem, bringing with them five tales of horror, five nightmares made flesh. These stories from the bone yard are set to a soundtrack of rotten death metal and skull-crushing thrash, blended into a boiling elixir of delicious terror – a sound from the origins of extremity, dragged from its restless grave...

Luna In Sanguinem are a new name on the extreme metal scene, but their foundations are set deep and built from decades of experience. The unmistakeable voice of Skip McGullam rides at the head of this cavalcade of death, sounding even more powerful and intimidating than he did on Num Skull’s revered ’88 classic, Ritually Abused. Each song on Global Bloodbath is a finely crafted masterpiece of haunting atmosphere and earthshaking riffs, laced with solos that scythe through the choking blackness. Staggering songs like ‘Killed By The Dead Hand’ and ‘Far From The Light’ invoke the spirits of the crypt, the glory days when metal first pushed deeper into the cemetery dirt and further into the darkness. Global Bloodbath is a worm riddled feast for the undead disciples of primal death and thrash.

This EP was originally only available as a digital download and a promotional tool for distribution at Luna In Sanguinem’s live shows...but the clamour became deafening; these songs deserved more! So as the nights draw in and this year of sickness and fear staggers to its end, Global Bloodbath is finally, fully unleashed, in glorious digi-pack CD format – and in the graves and mausoleums of the world the voices of the dead will sing!

HARLOTT RELEASE NEW SINGLE "DETRITUS OF THE FINAL AGE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

On November 13th, Harlott will release their new album, Detritus of the Final Age, via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of Detritus of the Final Age, the title track can be heard now at: youtu.be/MqIP_MKBETo

The first single, "As We Breach", can also be streamed at: metalblade.com/harlott - where the record can be pre-ordered in the following formats:

- digipak-CD

- 180g black vinyl (EU exclusive)

- toxic viole(n)t marbled vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 200 copies)

- polluted earth melt vinyl (Kings Road exclusive - limited to 100 copies)

- contaminated yellow / green marbled vinyl (US exclusive)

More than 30 years after its inception, thrash refuses to die, and with Australia's Harlott stoking the fires, the genre is in very good hands. Returning with the follow up to 2017's mighty Extinction, Detritus Of The Final Age sees them continuing to fight the good fight, delivering a collection of serrated riffs, rampant rhythmic battery and bilious lyrics, hitting hard in all the right places. "For the first time ever, I went into this album with a blank slate," says vocalist/guitarist Andrew Hudson. "No ideas or requirements, just an empty record ready to be filled with whatever took me. Obviously thrash metal is the wheelhouse of what we do, and it came out pretty thrashy, but it was great to be able to set that aside and explore other avenues." The result is perhaps the band's most dynamic release, while holding on tight to that signature Harlott sound that has drawn in a legion of fans from around the world.

Helping to realize the new record, the band's ranks were refreshed with two new members, Glen Trayhern on drums and Leigh Bartley on guitar. "Both bring their own skills and abilities as well as fresh enthusiasm and ideas. Glen is an absolute machine on the kit and lays a rock solid foundation for us to play to, and Leigh is a weapon on the guitar and such a unique lead writer. I couldn't have had a better ensemble for this release, and the live show is as violent as ever." Spending longer writing the record than any of its predecessors, for more than a year Hudson worked on it, experimenting with ideas and styles. Determined to make a record that he would want to listen to - and proudly drawing inspiration from the many bands that have shaped the genre ahead of them - it was integral that he was proud of everything included on the record, and he focused on every aspect of the songs. "Whether its lyrics or riffs or breakdowns, I always make sure that every song has at least one bit that makes you go 'fuck yeeeeah'. I don't like the idea of thinking a song or line is 'good enough', so I try to make sure the elements of the song are strong enough for them to stand alone outside of the ensemble that they are part of." The result is "thrash metal with a bit of darkness, a bit of sorrow, a bit of melody and a few hooks thrown in for good measure," something that Harlott fans will recognize while surely drawing in new listeners.
