PRESS RELEASE:

KILLER BE KILLED, who release one of the year’s most anticipated rock records, "Reluctant Hero", on Nov. 20 via Nuclear Blast Records, have debuted a third single from the eagerly-awaited collection: 'Inner Calm From Outer Storms'

Check the video clip here: https://youtu.be/7C14WMKkUbo

"'Inner Calm From Outer Storms' is about having the ability to sense a distant or unseen target," explains Troy Sanders. "It explores a journey of reckless abandon where the destination may, or may not, actually exist."

Greg Puciato agrees, saying the lyrics reference “the idea of being open to the freedom of having chaos be a state of existence.”

The song debuted yesterday via Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal hosted by Jose Mangin.

KILLER BE KILLED previously released two singles from the forthcoming album:

'Dream Gone Bad': https://youtu.be/dMFgUWPvqsU

: HJELVIK RELEASE SINGLE & VIDEO "GLORY OF HEL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Today, the Norwegian blackened Viking heavy metal solo-band HJELVIK has released a new song and music video for their third single from the upcoming album Welcome to Hel, out on November 20th 2020 via Nuclear Blast. Watch the victorious video saga 'Glory of Hel' animated by Adam Avilla of Flesh & Bones in San Francisco, California which includes a guest performance by Matt Pike from the bands High on Fire and Sleep here: https://youtu.be/aJI9e3Srw0w

Frontman Erlend Hjelvik comments on the song: "I'm excited to finally unveil Glory of Hel in all its...glory! It's one of the hardest rocking tracks from Welcome to Hel and is visited by the mythical Matt Pike (High on Fire & Sleep) who lends his killer voice and face melting guitar solo. To top that off, there's a badass animated music video created by the disgustingly talented Adam Avilla. The video depicts a twisted take on the death of Odin's son Balder and the ensuing events of Ragnarok with an animation style reminiscent of cult classics like ‘Heavy Metal‘ and ‘Fire and Ice.‘. Thanks to both Matt and Adam for their amazing contributions and I hope people love it!"

HJELVIK's first solo album Welcome to Hel, based on Norse mythology and history, includes all the trappings of a lucrative Viking pillage. The album was recorded and mixed at The Hallowed Halls in Portland, Oregon, US by Justin Phelps (Joe Satriani, Poison Idea, Slough Feg) and mastered by Grammy award-winning engineer, Alan Douches (Mastodon, Converge, Baroness). Special guest appearances by Matt Pike (Sleep, High on Fire) on 'Glory of Hel' and Mike Scalzi (Slough Feg) on 'Necromance' are also included. The legendary Joe Petagno created the Welcome to Hel cover artwork and HJELVIK logo and is responsible for creating the timeless iconic images we all love from bands like Motörhead, Led Zeppelin, Nazareth.

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)
