ZEIT RELEASE "BETONKREBS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Zeit

Betonkrebs

Release date: Friday, March 26th 2021

Label: Self-Released

Format: Digital | Cassete

Genre: Black Sludge Grindcore

Country: Germany

Light, sweet and majorly pissed off - time is running out but social deviations get worse by the minute. Ecologically at a crossroads, humankind is long lost. Offer yourself alast respect and tune in to the swan song for the crown of exhaustion and dwell your sorrows in 24 short musical substitutes.

First Doom, now Grind? Yes! "Betonkrebs" stands in the tradition of the wayward ZEIT-EPs and intones his disdain far away from this band’s known paths.While the "null."-EP ventured in the realm of funeral doom, this EP explores the world of Grind and Punk. For this project we started by taking our old song "Stillstand" again and simply played it as fast as possible (for us) this time.

Most Lyrics on "Betonkrebs" are written in German, the most hateful language there is, and are about all the bullshit we had to endure during the last year. And by that we don't mean a global pandemic but the endless human stupidity that perpetuated all over the globe.

Tracklist:

New Work Order

Überwachungskapital

Stillgestanden

Wer Bewacht Die Wächter

Kosmische Pessimisten

Zwischen Nichts Und Wenig

Strukturelle Probleme

Biography

The band started in 2005 under the name "Teach Children to Worship Satan". One song (Cyclops) remains from this early period, written by then guitarist Irem, re-arranged and eventually recorded years later. Fredrik Alerud is to be the growler for some years to come and long time riff-forger Börna took over after the departure of Irem around 2007. With the introduction of new bass-player Piotr in 2010, the band was starting to take the form we recognise today, refining their sound and changing the name to "Fist Fight". Writing riffs and drinking beers into 2014 they're hearing some interesting bass playing further down the corridor. The young bassist Hampus was persuaded to pick up the lead-guitar and join, making Fist Fight a five-piece. The first demo recording was produced this same year. Playing some festival-shows here and there, the main focus is put on writing. During the next 3 years the band tries several different growlers, with the eyes on a full-length album. Finally settling with the voice of Joel Nylén and changing the name to Odeum Deus, debut album "Fist Fight" is recorded in a matter of days and released independently in 2018. The first album is released while the band is already in the studio again, now with legendary producer Tomas Skogsberg in hunt of the metal sound. It is to be released as "Knife Fight" in 2019. The collaboration works out great with Skogsberg and they decide to do it all again with another album, improving what they've done on the previous album with the writing and production. Their earlier releases caught the interest of record label WormHoleDeath and this new third album is signed with them to be released worldwide in 2021.

Black Lion Records issued:

"It is a well-crafted melodic death metal anthem. The song is about the inescapable decay of our bodies and minds as we turn older.

The song also features solos by the rising Danish talent Frederik Jensen on guitar. Black Lion Records will release Danish one-man band Mother of All’s debut album Age Of The Solipsist on April 23rd, 2021. Pre-order available now!

Mother Of All performs a mixture of melodic and progressive death metal and is the brainchild of drummer and vocalist Martin Haumann, an in-demand and highly-prolific musician that has previously performed across the world as the drummer for Myrkur, Afsky and many others. Most recently, Haumann played the drums on Afsky’s highly-acclaimed opus ”Ofte Jeg Drømmer Mig Død...”, hailed by many as 2020’s black metal album of the year. Artwork for Age Of The Solipsist has been created by American graphic artist, Travis Smith, whose impressive work has graced the covers of bands like Opeth, Nevermore, Avenged Sevenfold and King Diamond. Age Of The Solipsist is mixed by Hannes Grossmann (ex-Necrophagist, ex-Obscura, Alkaloid) at Mordor Sounds."

INTOXICATED RELEASE NEW SINGLE "LEGACY´S DEMISE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

INTOXICATED launch brand new single ‘Legacy’s Demise’ and announce a 2nd Vinyl run of their previously SOLD OUT debut EP!

As bossman, ANDREW WK, just released his new single, Babalon, showcasing a much heavier side of himself than ever before, it’s hard to imagine that his backing band, made up of 2/3’s of Intoxicated, didn’t have something to do with it. Not to one-up the boss, but the Intoxicated boys also wanted to show that despite their busy schedule with ANDREW WK, that they have been keeping busy and Intoxicated are no part time side gig.

Link to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1hYAHuQrp3zGhpPjTmwW1P?si=AnLzgSwwTNOHlx7fKD-ClQ&nd=1

Legacy’s Demise showcases the band doing more of the same, but with even more ferocity and vigor than before. 1-part Death, 1-part Obituary, + 1-part High on Fire with a touch of Crossover Thrash flare and you have Intoxicated’s tried and true formula! The new single is a promise of what is to come on their debut full length that they hope to have out before the end of 2021.

PREORDER Link: https://intoxicatedflorida.bandcamp.com/album/walled-ep

Officially dubbed ‘The Van Halen Variants’, due to the ironic or almost serendipitous nature of their new vinyl color theme, these 3 new variants mark the 2nd pressing of their previously sold out debut EP, Walled. In coordination with the release of the new single, these beauties are now available for preorder and will begin shipping out by mid-March!

With the song "The Cradle of Darkness" Inception Of Eternity release the first track of their second studio album.

ADD THEM TO YOUR PLAYLISTS!

https://open.spotify.com/artist/2zL8V8PVzkwI2rYX5JNhT7

About the new album:

With the second studio album "Last Exit to the Past" mastermind Thorsten Eligehausen created a 15 track strong, musically extremely varied and genre-spanning album, without losing sight of the reference to the characteristic gothic rock elements. Quiet tones are as much an integral part of the album as rough and rocky compositions. Singer Ken Pike and vocalist SINtana take the listener on a musical journey with their extraordinary voices that is second to none.

"The creation process was - due to the two new contributing musicians SINtana and Marc Vanderberg - definitely more diverse. It was always interesting to hear how musicians of other styles listen to the demo of a song and what they then contribute to it, or how you understand their part", says Eligehausen.

"Last Exit to the Past" will be released on March 26, 2021 and is available as a CD in digipack, for download and also on all known streaming services. The presale of the album starts in selected stores parallel to the release of the single release "The Cradle of Darkness" on 21.02.2021.

Various merchandise articles of Inception of Eternity are also available via the store on darkSIGN-music.

WRECHE RELEASE "ALL MY DREAMS CAME TRUE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Wreche

All my dreams came true

Handsmade / Acephale Winter

14 May 2021

Wreche, a high stakes challenger of the metal genre returns with a violent haymaker on All my dreams came true. A colossal masterpiece, this album sees John Steven Morgan working alone - more unhinged, personal, and varied than on Weche’s 2017 eponymous debut w/ drummer Barret Baumgart. At once horrifying and beautiful, All my dreams came true further binds genres like a particle accelerator - an absolutely devastating collision, a nebulaic nightmare of spackled iridescent light and void-lusting despair. Morgan’s brilliant songwriting and narrative structure, equally matched by his virtuosic performances on every instrument (piano, drums, vocals and synths) make this album something to seriously reckon with. 

“Pushing the boundaries” of metal is a given when guitars have been trashed for an 88 key 700lb behemoth running hot on distortion and space echo. Terrifying, subterranean, and heavenly, Wreche transcends the sheer novelty of superficial texture swapping. The album hits the fringes of the most extreme musical ideas-- simultaneously maintaining a loyalty to black metal’s aural aesthetic while hard-flipping the genre's tired old past. Morgan’s lyrical poems tear through art, god, poverty, drugs, love and “life in the big city” as they are screamed with spine chilling conviction that sounds as mad and feral as the world around him. The otherworldly synth design and arrangements are unprecedented- an ominous spectoral presence levitating on the wasteland All my dreams came true paints. This isn’t just an experiment, it’s an interstellar meltdown.

Do yourself a favor and let this album rip your brain apart. Play it front to back and give it time to reveal its myriad miraculous stratified secrets. The invitation is an understatement and to miss this is to miss a masterful and haunting contribution to music, one that will inevitably set the tone for this year in metal. It is, and will be, unavoidable if you listen to extreme music - a ghastly expedition into the ether. 

All my dreams came true arrives May 14, 2021
