OLDBLOOD RELEASE "ARMS TO THE SKY" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE: 

Oldblood sets December 4th as the international release date for their debut EP "Arms to the Sky"!

Pre-orders, pre-saves & lead single ‘Kuebiko’ launch on the 13th November.

Album track listing is as follows:

01 - Kuebiko

02 - Nuclear Blues

03 - Los Alamos

04 - Alone

"Oldblood are different.... A threatening sound that suits the dark, doleful music perfectly..... A very impressive, very theatrical performance" - Loud Enough Magazine.

"Full-on post-apocalyptic mayhem that was bizarrely uplifting..... boasting extreme levels of solidity in their musicianship and a confidence... a powerful end to a full-on assault of a debut performance!" - Metal Nexus.

"If you want something with a bit more edge, to freeze the blood in your veins and all delivered with a theatrical performance; than pick Oldblood" - Loud Enough Magazine.

Formed in north London in 2018, Oldblood have set about combining the members various musical tastes into one cohesive, blackened monstrosity - merging elements of doom, punk, post-metal and black metal to form a sound that has turned heads since their debut live show supporting OHHMS & Boss Keloid through to supporting doom titans CONAN along with headlining their own shows.

Currently preparing to release their debut EP 'Arms to the Sky' on the 4th December 2020; 'Arms to the Sky' is preceded by the single 'Kuebiko' on the 13th November, expect Oldblood to continue pushing their brand of aural misery as far and as wide as possible.

'Arms to the Sky' is 4 tracks themed around the dropping of the atomic bomb over Hiroshima - both aurally and lyrically. Crushing riffs combined with devastating melodies that paint an agonized picture of life before, during and after the nuclear explosion.

Lead track 'Kuebiko' opens the EP with a crushing riff designed to paint a picture of devastation right off the bat; with the song building to an explosion of its own. The title 'Kuebiko' is actually a Japanese word that translates as "a state of exhaustion inspired by acts of senseless violence, which force you to revise your image of what can happen in this world"

'Nuclear Blues' swaggers out of the gate with a bluesy riff, that descends into a double time frenzy before unraveling into a state of exhaustion. 'Los Alamos' is an atmospheric telling of the story of the creation of the atomic bomb & the final track 'Alone' tells the story of 'She'.

 'She' stands alone in the devastation caused by the atomic blast and having lost everything; she wonders what to do with her life.

Oldblood are:

Joey Williams - Guitar & Vocals

Tom Pratt - Guitar & Vocals

Brendan Coles - Bass & Vocals

Lee Barter - Drums

Arms to the Sky was recorded at No Studio & produced by Joe Clayton (Leeched, Pijn, Ithaca, Wren, Mountain Caller)

Poland's death black metal beasts, Azarath, are streaming a new song from their upcoming album, "Saint Desecration", due out November 27 via Agonia Records.  Listen to "No Salvation" below:

FARER RELEASE "PHANES" VIDEO + NEW ALBUM "MONAD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Hailing from the Netherlands, doom/noise trio FARER conspire with Tartarus Records and Aesthetic Death to release “Monad”, the band’s first album, on November 20th 2020.

Today, cult magazine The Obelisk is premiering the haunting video for "Phanes". Go watch it AT THIS LOCATION!

Last week Everything Is Noise hosted the premiere of  "Asulon", the second track of the album. Get mesmerized AT THIS LOCATION!

FARER create an imposing discord of severe, caustic bass textures, harrowing vocals and winding drums. The band, featuring members of Ortega, was originally founded as MENHIR in 2013, but chose FARER as their new moniker mid 2019, after spending two and a half years of writing and recording their debut record "Monad". By taking time to further explore the possibilities of being a band with two bass players and the absence of a guitar, the record exhibits the bands evolution into a new entity thoroughly. Meaning, carefully crafted, drawn-out, oppressive and compelling songs.

Traversing the absolute – "Monad" is a testament to suffering. Heavy grinding riffs and deep pulsating rhythms; a restless stirring. Amidst all these layers we hear the human voice as a primal wordless scream – the shock of being. We feel the dissonance of forces vying for existence and the harmony of lightless oblivion. Whispers of unfathomable truths emerge from the static.

FARER presents a tactile experience of the grim and brutal cycle of creation and destruction. There is desperation and anger, but above all a greater comprehension of the eternal patterns reverberating through flesh. The relentless driving layers of crushed sound offer no respite. In resonance is the movement of great mass. The vocals are brutally honest and raw. Complex and utterly bleak. A confrontation with the void.

Out of nothing, nothing becomes.

"Monad" tracklist:

01. Phanes

02. Asulon

03. Moros

04. Elpis

FARER is:

Frank de Boer - Bass/Vocals

Arjan van Dalen -  Bass/Vocals

Sven Jurgens - Drums/Percussion

ACCUSER RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR "MISLED OBEDIENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

On November 13th, Accuser will release their new self-titled album via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of Accuser, a lyric video for the new single, "Misled Obedience", can be viewed at: youtu.be/a18HgtpiOY8

The first single, "Phantom Graves", can be heard at: metalblade.com/accuser - where the record can also be pre-ordered in the following formats:

- digipak-CD (incl. bonus track)

- 180g black vinyl (EU exclusive)

- golden brown marbled vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 200 copies)

- ivory / beige / grey marbled vinyl

- gold / black melt vinyl (Kings Road exclusive - limited to 100 copies)

Since they began flying the flag for German thrash in the 80s, Accuser have gone on to prove themselves one of the most enduring forces in global metal. With eleven full-lengths behind them, they return in 2020 with their latest masterwork: a blistering collection that captures everything that makes the band so vital, produced by longtime collaborator Martin Buchwalter (who has worked on five Accuser albums) and mastered by Dan Swanö. "You stay fresh through curiosity," states vocalist/guitarist Frank Thoms. "Writing new songs keeps you fresh, and it is always exciting how things develop and how the listener reacts to them afterwards. This process never gets boring. It is always exciting and invites you to try new things." The result is a dynamic album that is very much rooted in thrash, but still takes the listener through various moods and styles, further cementing Accuser's status as leaders, not followers.

The return of lead guitarist René Schütz to the band's ranks - who appeared on multiple Accuser records prior to 2011 - only served to up the ante on Accuser. "We are very, very happy to have him back in the band, and as you will be able to hear, his leads are definitely over the top. From my perspective, he is one of the very, very few thrash metal guitarists who are able to combine technique and feeling in a proper way." With writing for the new record commencing as soon as 2018's The Mastery was completed, Thoms pushed himself until he was in "100% concentration mode", knowing he is on the right path when he forgets his daily routine and normal life falls away. With no structure or plan envisaged, the songs came together naturally, as they always have. "The Accuser sound is in our DNA, and at the end of the day, it is our own blend of thrash metal. To be honest, that's what I like best during the process of making a record, seeing how the music develops and how the album is taking shape." The shape Accuser took is definitely versatile, and perhaps sounds simpler than it actually is. "We managed to make well thought-out songs sound simple. Crazy things don't seem like a disturbance or a foreign body. In addition, we have inconspicuously processed various genres of metal. Ultimately, we just tried to offer the essence of the band, the groove from 'Repent' (1992), the riffs in the veins of 'Who Dominates Who' (1989), plus structures that could be found on the first album 'The Conviction' (1987) and stylistics that could be from 'Reflections' (1994) or 'Taken By The Throat' (1995) - everything put together in catchy songs."

The combination of these elements that shout back to earlier Accuser releases - without repeating or copying themselves - alongside the return of Schütz, led Thoms to believe this album "must be called Accuser".
