STEEL BEARING HAND TO RELEASE "SLAY IN HELL". NEW TRACK STREAM

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In the midst of the blistering Texan summer of 2009, STEEL BEARING HAND arose from an insatiable thirst for vengeance against all interlopers, blasphemers, and desecrators of Metal. For several years, they waged war in the trenches of house venues, warehouse spaces, and dive bars across America, honing their craft. Finally, in 2015, they released their self-titled debut album, followed by a few tours. Parting ways with their co-founding drummer in 2016, 2017 was spent whetting the blade anew. With their noses to the grindstone, they produced a more refined sound, entering the studio in the summer of 2019 to capture this ultimate incarnation of the band’s character and personality with the fittingly titled Slay In Hell full-length.

Engineered and mixed by Irving Lopez (Morbosidad) at Anomalous Mind Engineering and mastered by Jack Control (Cianide, Darkthrone, World Burns To Death, Totalitär) at Enormous Door Mastering, Slay In Hell comes adorned in the diabolic cover illustration of VRUGARTHDOOM and vomits forth six hellish hymns that pay their respects to the masters – namely Celtic Frost, Slayer, and Autopsy – while maintaining a singular unholy vibe.

As a precursor to the record’s release, STEEL BEARING HAND offers up opening track “Command Of The Infernal Exarch” for communal devouring. Issues the band, “‘Command Of The Infernal Exarch’ depicts a descent into Hell to become a knight in Lucifer’s force in order to kill God and usurp the throne of Heaven. The process of transformation from Mortal to Demon is described, along with the arsenal at hand and the tactics employed in the war on Heaven, God, all his Earthly servants, and the heavenly host.”

Stream STEEL BEARING HAND’s “Command Of The Infernal Exarch” at  THIS LOCATION .

Slay In Hell will be released on CD and vinyl via Carbonized Records and cassette through Carbonized and Cimmerian Strength Productions. Preorders will be available this Friday, March 5th via Bandcamp  HERE  and Carbonized Records  HERE .

1. Command Of The Infernal Exarch

MALICE DIVINE RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR "QUANTUM MANIFESTATION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Toronto's one-man act Malice Divine, created by ex-Astaroth Incarnate guitarist Ric Galvez (also seen as a contestant on  Banger TV’s Shredders of Metal  Seasons 1 & 2) recently unleashed this past February his debut self-titled album. The record is an excellent example of time spent during the Covid-19 pandemic being put to good use.

The full length showcases nine eclectic tracks of black, death, and thrash metal along with a tinge of classical guitar. For session drums Ric Galvez was joined by Dylan Gowan (Vesperia, Iomair) where they recorded at Monolithic Productions in Oshawa, Ontario with Tyler Williams beginning in January 2020. After the recording process had concluded, the album was re-amped and mixed by Tyler Williams and then mastered by  Lasse Lammert  (Demons & Wizards, Alestorm, Gloryhammer) of LSD-Studio in Germany.

The lyrics explored on the self-titled album are actually quite personal and deal with Ric Galvez’s thoughts and feelings regarding his life experiences. They are an outlet for self-expression, while also exploring topics such as spirituality and psychology with an underlying theme of personal empowerment.

Today, Malice Divine shares more insight into the album with the release of the new lyric video for the track "Quantum Manifestation" via its premiere on MetalInsider   . 

"Quantum Manifestation is one of the fastest songs on the album. It's packed full of different elements that are integral to the sound of Malice Divine, such as virtuosic guitar solos, savage blackened death metal riffing, blast beats, epic melodies, and a beautiful classical guitar section," adds Ric Galvez.

Melodic and captivating with a good blend of heavy styles, Malice Divine is recommended for fans of Skeletonwitch, Death, Dissection, and Immortal.

The full album “Malice Divine” is available on all digital platforms (Spotify, Apple Music)  here  and Bandcamp  here .

Track Listing:

1. Somnium Lucidus (2:00)

2. Quantum Manifestation (7:11)

3. Malicious Divinity (5:54)

4. Triumphant Return (5:35)

5. Into Subconscious Depths (8:02)

6. Ancient Visions (6:14)

7. In Time (8:11)

8. Intuitive Realization (3:40)

It seems to be common for the guys of Burn Down Eden, to release a new album every two years. While lots of bands take a break for creativity after their second release, Burn Down Eden is just beginning.

With their third self-titled album the guys pick up where they left off with their second album „Liberticidal“ and even put a shovel on it again. The band continues to focus on the catchy choruses and melodies, brute, fiddly riffs and modulations, as well as rapid solos and classical elements typical for Burn Down Eden. Nevertheless, all in all the third album seems to be more mature. And yet they also like to leave the genre and play happily with all elements from Black to Prog Metal.

With „Burn Down Eden“ the guys make it crystal clear, that they are THE next big thing in the matter of Melo-Death from Germany. Kernkraftritter Records is convinced, that we will welcome Burn Down Eden to lots of festival stages in the „Post-Corona Times“.

Before of this the band have also unveiled official Video for their first single 'A Prepper's Prophecy'.

With "A Prepper´s Prophecy" the quintet put salt in the wounds to everybody who was convinced that such a nearly apocalyptic scene like in the year 2020 could possibly happen and who prepared themselves for it. They guys are backbiting conspiracy theorists, tinfoil hats and all the prepper out there. The guys kicking-off their album with literally a big bang!"

PRESS RELEASE:

Black/Doom metallers Rituals Of The Dead Hand returns with a new album "With Hoof And Horn", to be released on May 1st via Dunkelheit Produktionen.

'With Hoof And Horn', Rituals Of The Dead Hand walks the same path of no-nonsense, old school extreme metal updated in a modern and contemporary atmosphere. Again, the four lengthy tracks dive into the legends, myths and tales of the notorious robbers who were ultimately caught, tortured, trialed and executed for their horrific and blasphemous acts…

Truth or legend? Simple folklore or further proof that the Devil is always lurking in the dark, especially behind man's most sacrilegious deeds? Whatever your answer is, with 'With Hoof And Horn', the Buckriders will ride again!

Fans of Burzum, The Ruins Of Beverast, Bolt Thrower and Urfaust will not be dissapointed.

GRAVE MIASMA TO RELEASE "ABYSS OF WRATHFUL DEITIES" + NEW TRACK AND VIDEO

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Occult death metal band GRAVE MIASMA has announced the upcoming release of Abyss Of Wrathful Deities.

Decibel Magazine is hosting the exclusive premiere of the video for album track "Rogyapa." Watch it now at www.decibelmagazine.com/2021/03/05/video-premiere-grave-miasma-rogyapa/

Abyss of Wrathful Deities will be out on CD, vinyl, cassette and digital formats through Dark Descent Records (US) and Sepulchral Voice (Europe) on May 14th.

Track Listing:

01. Guardians of Death (05:52)

02. Rogyapa (06:46)

03. Ancestral Waters (06:42)

04. Erudite Decomposition (06:27)

05. Under the Megalith (06:22)

06. Demons of the Sand (06:02)

07. Interlude (01:08)

08. Exhumation Rites (07:17)

09. Kingdoms Beyond Kailash (06:15)

Abyss Of Wrathful Deities is GRAVE MIASMA’s latest opus after five years of quiescence. Bone-breaking, aggressive and demonic Death Metal pairs with the accomplished and progressive production of Jaime Gomez Arellano (Orgone Studios), forming a sepulchral miasma which elevates the band’s songwriting to a previously unrivaled level.

Developing on the powerful and dark sound pursued on Endless Pilgrimage, the London trio presents nine distinctively enigmatic tracks on death and resurrection, the demons of far-away lands and Tibetan burial rituals. GRAVE MIASMA are both the circling vulture and the epiphany, equally well-versed in the raw and primitive as they are in technical lead guitar orgies. Music not as a means of style, but as an accurately-wielded sharp scythe. 

The reverence to South American titans is obvious, yet the band has the approach of merging (de)composition with creativity, creating a contemporary yet absolutely timeless atmosphere.

Do not gaze long into the abyss, for it will devour you…

GRAVE MIASMA is:

Y: Guitar, Vocals, Sitar, Saz,

D: Drums, Percussion

T: Guitar, Bass

MIASMA THEORY RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Something noxious this way comes: MIASMA THEORY, a collective of renegade musicians led by NORTHERN CROWN mastermind Zachary Randall, have announced the April 23 release of their self-titled debut album on Shadowlit Music.

Opening track "Forever Ends Today" is streaming at this location.

The album is a breath of fresh air during the greatest pandemic in a century and is proof that never having shared a room with half of your band is not a limiting factor in a time of social distance.

MIASMA THEORY sees Randall commanding a strong lineup including NORTHERN CROWN/SKELATOR bassist Leona Hayward and guitarist Juan Carrizo (ANNA FIORI/MACUARRO/ZIX.) Across the album's crushing tracks, the lyrical writing of Randall augments an already-solid rhythm section to make an argument for avoiding the bad air of the times -- Burn what is rotten and preserve the hope for better days. The group of three is assisted by versatile vocalist Māra Lisenko (MARA, OCULARIS INFERNUM) and drummer Jonas Schütz (CONDEMNED TO DREAM, DIESIS).

Randall's artistic vision is enhanced by artwork from the world-renowned TRAVIS SMITH, bringing the atmosphere to life with grave imagery. Mastering by DAN SWANO finishes the collection of songs, maintaining their dynamics and force. In keeping with NORTHERN CROWN's releases, the album tops off with a cover of Candlemass' "Under The Oak,” and is sure to please fans of the doom-leaning side of the spectrum.

Randall is simultaneously unveiling his self-started label, Shadowlit Music, which will house his current and future work. No stranger to the scene, Randall aims to lend experience and expertise to other independent artists to cultivate successful releases.

In short, grab your mask and get on board for a wild ride.

Randall discusses each of the four original compositions:

"Everything I wrote about on this album was pretty directly inspired by things that started happening during the pandemic.

'Forever Ends Today' is a straight up heavy metal anthem. You can hear my NWOBHM influences creeping in here. It was inspired by seeing south Florida hotspots looking nearly abandoned, realizing the old world is gone but finding strength in friends/allies. The first time hearing Mara scream the chorus will knock you on your ass. 

'Together As One' has a similar vibe, but it's a ballad. Again it’s about the end of an old world and coming together to make a new, better world. I think this song has a dreamy, ethereal vibe, not indifferent from Avatarium.

'Next Time, Last Time' is a love song, amazingly enough. It rocks pretty fucking hard. Leona has a cool Lemmy moment in the middle of the song. I'm looking forward to playing this one live.

'Vector' is the ominous, angry song of the record, me giving two middle fingers to people who didn't/don't take a global pandemic seriously. Leona's bassline in the intro of this track really enhances the mood. Juan’s playing on this song is super filthy and led to me asking him to join the band on a permanent basis." 

Track List:

1. Forever Ends Today

2. Together As One

3. Next Time, Last Time

4. Vector

5. Under the Oak (Candlemass Cover)

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

Merke Dir

Schwarzlichtviertel

Terror Management Theory

Cis Scum Must Die

Blass

Democracy Is For The Weak

Die Klöckner Im Néstle-Darm

Das Große Fressen
