HEADSHRINKER RELEASE "CALLOUS INDIFERENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Headshrinker

Callous Indifference

Self-Released

27 August 2021

For as long as death metal has been around, gore and physical death have maintained their place as topics used ad nauseam. In recent times, the mind and how we are all destroyed from within continues to gain further ground as a more fertile and relatable subject matter to ground death metal within. It's in this vulnerable and soul-destroying terrain that Colorado-based death metal newcomers Headshrinker draws from to create their stunning debut album, Callous Indifference. Set for release on August 27th.

Although the Denver-based outfit is a new act, having only started in 2017, three of its four members have spent years honing their craft in the critically praised unconventional Chicago-based death/black metal group Polyptych. With the lineup on Callous Indifference rounded out by the considerable skills of Havok drummer Pete Webber. Together the group's incredibly gifted members spew out dark and crushing death metal and death/doom filtered through the many eras and styles of extreme metal. First and foremost, old school death metal made anew, in ways comparable to Diskord, Ulthar, and Tomb Mold. Secondly, with the addition of black metal elements sprinkled throughout the music on Callous Indifference, inspired by groups cited by the band such as Voices, Emperor, Shining, and Dark Fortress.

Lastly, and most importantly, Callous Indifference is imbued with a Pyrrhon-esque deconstructed approach that colors all of the album's songs with a distinctly unorthodox and unhinged quality. The end result makes for an intense and unique album that charts its own course, and in the process fully delivers on its vision of creating suffocating death metal that embodies the steep toll mental health issues extract from each of us.

Headshrinker - Callous Indifference is highly recommended for fans of bands such as Pyrrhon, Ulthar, Tomb Mold, Dismembered, and Diskord. Given their wide range of influences across multiple genres, the group also cites further influences ranging from Akercocke, Triptykon, Celtic Frost, and Chelsea Wolfe among others.

Headshrinker comment on the release of Callous Indifference

"This record symbolizes the large struggle I have faced with mental health over the years and is inspired by persevering through dark times and the will/strength to battle through when the outlook is bleakest. Its themes touch upon self-isolation, emotional disconnect, lack of trust, insomniac struggle, and existential crisis but it all left for the listener to interpret on their own term. We all have our ways of dealing with pain, and this record embraces the pain and finds the expression born out of raw emotion. I also hope it paints mental health in light that shows it to be more than its singular stereotype and stigma. We all struggle and only death is real."

Young Werther – Vocals, Guitar, Synths, Extra instruments (Polyptych, Closed Casket, ex-Austaras)

FUNERAL CHASM PREMIERS NEW TRACK "SUNRISE VERTIGO"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Hailing from Denmark, doom entity FUNERAL CHASM conspires with Aesthetic Death to release “Omniversal Existence”, the band’s first album, on July 2nd 2021.

Today FUNERAL CHASM are premiering the album's first single, "Sunrise Vertigo". Watch the lyric video at THIS LOCATION.

FUNERAL CHASM was formed in February 2020 as a spontaneous reaction. Morten ”Sjaelepest" Lund (ex-Devil, ex-Kaos666) and Danny Woe (Altar of Oblivion, ex-Woebegone Obscured) have been friends for over twenty years and both play in black metal band Above Ravens - but they felt like experimenting with more atmospheric and slow music - so the idea for FUNERAL CHASM had begun.

The EP “I” was recorded during a weekend and would later be released on tape through Old Skull Productions.

Influenced by bands such as Fields of the Nephilim, Sisters of Mercy, Celtic Frost, Burzum, Ved Buens Ende, Thergothon and Vangelis, the band soon came up with the album “Omniversal Existence” containing inspirations from those different genres and sounds.

Lyrical topics are based on Danny Woe’s personal experience of struggling with insomnia, alongside the anxiety, depressions and issues that arise from living with that illness through an entire life.

“Insomnia is an everyday struggle to live with. I’ve been through the psychiatric medical system for almost 2 decades, and have learned to deal with the thought patterns that come with a lack of sleep. Anxiety and depression being far the worst, as it affects my decisions around the people I care about. When those emotions are peaking, I have learned that the most effective way to break that thought loop is to visit my forest cabin with a friend and eat some magic mushrooms, which help me from spiralling further down into the abyss. I have tried to describe these monumental trips in every song, and what I’ve learned through them. Sometimes you just get a nice relaxing visit into another dimension, but other times you can experience deeper knowledge about yourself (often referred to as a “bad trip" or “ego-death"), and that is the moment where you listen and get the opportunity to evolve. At least for myself, that is what I have tried to convey in the lyrics, and how we arranged the song structure, melodies and moods accordingly”.

“Omniversal Existence” is a deep, personal and sublime piece of extreme doom. It is an introspective reflection, that is full of visceral emotion.

Album tracklist:

01. Embellishment of Inception

02. The Truth That Never Was

03. Mesmerising Clarity

04. Extracting the Flesh from the Gods

05. Sunrise Vertigo

06. The Skeleton Secret

07. Astral Reality

08. Through the Eyes of the Joyless

HIGH´N´HEAVY RELEASE "V"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

High n' Heavy

V

Electric Valley Records

28 May 2021

Genre: Doom Metal/Hard Rock

Location: New Bedford, Massachusetts, US.

FFO: Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Witchcraft, and Motörhead. 

Electric Valley Records is proud to present the 5th LP of High n’ Heavy, entitled V. The album will be available on different variants of vinyl (Black, Transparent Purple, and Ultra LTD “Moon Edition”) and digital formats on 28th May 2021. On the same day, the Italian label represses the doom quartet’s last album, Warrior Queen, on vinyl (Red, White, and Ultra LTD “Shield Edition”).

Out of the depths of Massachusetts, High n’ Heavy continue to bring the fire. Formed in 2014, under the influence of The Stooges and Black Sabbath, this quartet have put together a formidable blend of dirty 70’s style rock, doom, and blues that’d make the devil blush. They go one better with each of their studio work, outstripping the caliber of the previous albums. Their live shows come with an energy that leaves the audiences with their brains tingling and knees weak. They were fortunate to play RPM Fest ’19 and open for The Obsessed.

High n’ Heavy’s upcoming release, V, sees the band continue their ascent towards the rock n’ roll mountain top. Going back into the studio with Trevor Vaughan at the helm, their sound is larger than ever before. The songwriting and performance on this album prove yet again that they are a band that’s found its groove, but is also just getting started. The Eight massive tracks of the LP eventually turn out to be their greatest offering to the gods of rock n’ roll!

“High n’ Heavy are beyond excited to continue working with Electric Valley Records on our second release with the label,” the band says. “The support from EVR, along with the bands that make up their amazing family, has helped bring this album’s vision to fruition.”

MOSARA RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR "MAJESTIK XII"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Sonoran doom metal band MOSARA have released a lyric video for their song Majestik XII. The album will be released on May 28th via Transylvanian Recordings.

Watch the video: https://www.moshpitnation.com/track-stream-mosara-majestik/

Mosara is the perfect example of atavistic doom metal. Formed in Phoenix, Arizona also known as the Valley of the Sun, Mosara has used the region's heat to forge a tapestry of angst throughout their music. 

Exploring their relationship with prog metal, and atmospheric sludge, Mosara has crafted yet another experimental effort in which the band’s collective agony is translated into something both nihilistic and tangible through dissonant soundscapes. Each song is a nightmare in the abyss, dragging the listener through caverns of inexplicable darkness and suffering.

Formed in its current state in 2018, members Tony Gallegos (vocals/guitar), Nikos Mixas (guitar/vocals), Kristoffer Reynolds (bass), and John Quin (Drums/vocals) have transcended both physical and metaphorical boundaries to craft an innovative sound that exists outside of the human consciousness that attempts to sabotage you of peace and rob you of the moment.

In the fall of 2020, Mosara began the recording process for their upcoming opus, their first full-length, self-titled album. Recorded and mixed and sans any recording software, the album is raw, authentic and heartfelt. Rather than being undone by the prospect of lack of technology, Mosara instead opened themselves up to the unidentifiable and nameless muse of sound.

SEEKING SIRENS RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR "SURFACE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

High-energy metalcore four-piece Seeking Sirens,have released a video for their song "Surface". The ambiance-heavy single, tastefully blends elements of rock and soul with bone-crunching riffs, head-nodding rhythms and soaring choruses.

The band comments: “The single speaks to the sense of loss we all feel as we navigate our lives, struggling with the hardships of letting the wrong people in as we each endure the solitude of our existence. It crescendos in the affirmation that we all must move forward, and try to find our path in life without losing who we are along the way.”

Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=575ZbC7JCvs

The band formed after a long-awaited collaboration between lead guitarist /recording engineer Kevin Wilson with master facilitator and maniac vocalist Joseph Izayea. As a duo, the two artists recorded a slew of singles throughout the pandemic, slated for release throughout the year. Drummer Andy Jolliffe and bassist Ryan Lambert joined the fray to round out the roster and bring the concept to life. The result: a coupling of massive guitars and vocals with an energy that shakes with in-your-face-rhythm and a powerfully subtle groove. 

As proven by their work ethic and determination to succeed, coupled with their high-intensity and commitment to their craft, the band will continue to utilize their creative prowess as they release more content in the coming months. Despite the lack of shows, Seeking Sirens will continue to carve their own path with more singles and videos as they find their place in the post-pandemic music scene. 

Seeking Sirens’ debut “Surface” will be available on all major streaming platforms on May 21st and the band will be releasing a music video in tandem via YouTube

HUNDRED HEADLESS HORSEMEN RELEASE "APOKALEPSIA"

PRESS RELEASE:

Hundred Headless Horsemen is a psychedelic death metal band hailing from Helsinki, Finland. Their first full length, a concept album titled “Apokalepsia” will be released through Inverse Records in collaboration with Särö, a record label affiliated with the band, on 21 May 2021.

The band blends together different subgenres of metal from current and past time frames to create their own unique brand of psychedelic death metal. Their musical approach mirrors the background narrative of the album, that moves in multiple time and space dimensions based on fragments of scientific articles found about a formerly unknown psychoneurological condition. It is now time to step into the uncharted territories of the map.

Hundred Headless Horsemen will perform Apokalepsia in its entirety from their secret hideout on 22 May 2021 at 8pm Finland time (EET). With this performance, they aim to create a rupture into the known dimensions of time and space and to present the viewers with a glimpse of the reality beyond the familiar, in the realm of Apokalepsia. They will be aided by the inimitable VJ Hellstone and our maestro of lights Blitzlicht, who will provide the visual clues on our journey into the unknown.

HIC SUNT DRACONES

Apokalepsia is a group of symptoms characterized by recurrent seizures. These episodes can vary from brief and nearly undetectable interludes to long periods of vigorous shaking, hyperventilation, suffocating despair and a failure to function in a world defined by its imminent devastation. Apokaleptic seizures have a tendency to recur. Many victims also describe vivid visual and auditory hallucinations during apokaleptic seizures. The journal entries of these formerly unknown cases tell much about the inner struggles of the victims:

“The momentum that upholds life comes from death, darkness and decay. No matter how delusional we become, our efforts will never be grand enough to transcend this circular motion. In a stark contrast to nature, the economy was always a fiction. A fiction that nevertheless had very real consequences to our lives, which have led us to the profound misinterpretation of its true from. The system we had built long ago is now eating us alive.”

“Many of us had bright ideas, but in the end, our egos were always standing between the ideas and actually living them. During times of crisis, we often found a way to look steadfast into the ray of light that shined hope into our isolated existences. Were we ever able to remind ourselves that the whole spectrum of life upon this earth was just as precious as our own? Or did we merely fall back to building fortresses against our own fears?”

Apokalepsia was concocted, composed and performed by Hundred Headless Horsemen at Sir Näs Studios in Helsinki, Finland. The band remains anonymous, but we were joined by Mikko Suikkanen on electric violin, Saergu on modular synthesizers in “The Road” and Titus on percussion on “The Road” and “Spleen”.

The album was recorded by Valtteri Virolainen and Titus, mixed by Valtteri Virolainen and mastered by Magnus Lindberg Productions in Stockholm, Sweden.

Photographer and visual artist Karl Ketamo (https://www.karlketamo.com) worked with us to create a visual form for our concept.

INTERLOPER RELEASE VIDEO FOR "IDLE YEARS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Progressive heavy metal vehicle, INTERLOPER has returned to present their debut, full-length album "Search Party" which will be released on June 11th via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band releases the music video for the third single, "Idle Years" which was directed by Zack Perez Of Astral Media. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/4KjBSuKpIjw

Miles Dimitri Baker comments, "I am so stoked to have 'Idle Years' out into the world. This is one of my favorite tracks off the record and I not only love the song musically but lyrically as well. It has a really special meaning to me and I feel it represents a lot of things that I have gone through in my life. I hope the listeners can relate to it the way I do and I hope they enjoy it as much as I do."

Andrew Virruelta states, “This one gives me a feeling of solitude and nostalgia. I really enjoy this song because of that. Puts me in a specific place in my mind. Hope you love it!”

"To me, 'Idle Years' rounds out our three singles," comments Aaron Stechauner. "In so many words, 'Drift' is our heavy hitter, 'Search Party' showcases our melodic nature, and 'Idle Years' represents the dreary, driving, and reflective aspect of the album. These songs give our listeners a sense of what to anticipate from the record itself... not without a few left turns of course."

Drums were recorded at Big Bad Sound LA by Jack Ruley and Zach Fisher, with the mixing and mastering completed once more by Andrew’s brother Joey Virrueta. The album artwork was created by Caelan Stokkermans.
