PSYCHIC PAWN TO RELEASE "EULOGY: THE COMPLETE ANTHOLOGY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

"PSYCHIC PAWN were gruesome maniacs with tons of technical flair. One of the earliest Cacophonous releases, the Americans’ only album "Decadent Delirium" was a thrilling rush of untutored aggression and vein-popping fretwork that, with hindsight, clearly paved the way for Death Metal’s creative rejuvenation in the early 21st century. Brilliantly twisted stuff and a telling statement of intent from Cacophonous." (Dom Lawson - Metal Hammer)

PSYCHIC PAWN:

Bobby Chavez: Vocals & Bass

Micha Kite: Guitars

Victor Morell: Guitars

Steve Dorssom: Drums

 

THRASHBACK RECORDS is pleased to announce that this May we will be releasing a 2-CD collection from the Phoenix, AZ based Death Metal quartet PSYCHIC PAWN titled "Eulogy: The Complete Anthology".

Formed in 1989, PSYCHIC PAWN would release two highly acclaimed demos, "Expedient Demise" in 1991 and "Wake Of Entity" in 1992. "Wake Of Entity" would catch the attention of England's Cacophonous Records and would release the three track 7" E.P. "Disgorged Suppuration" in late 1993.

In 1993 Cacophonous Records would sign the band and release their debut album "Decadent Delirium" November of 1994 (produced by Bill Metoyer) to much acclaim. Unfortunately this would be the bands only album release. After the demise of PSYCHIC PAWN the members would go on to form other acclaimed bands such as BORN OF FIRE and IMAGES OF EDEN.

"Eulogy: The Complete Anthology" compiles all of the bands studio recordings with remastering handled by Rob Colwell at Bombworks Sound. Includes a 16-page booklet with archival photo's and fliers, and a new interview with guitarist Micha Kite conducted by Jon Norberg of Contaminated Tones Web Zine.

LIMITED EDITION CD PRESSING OF 500 UNITS WORLD WIDE...

UNDERBALL RELEASE "THE BEST IS YET TO CUM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Italian Thrash/Hardcore band Underball set July 16 as international release date for their debut album "The Best Is Yet To Cum"! The first Single "John Von Lovers" is now available on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/3c6GlHc5OTdwtN81X9O2fu and on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/zWAjlCdq8io.

Album artwork and tracklist are as follows:

01 - John Von Lover

02 - Squirt On My Face

03 - Dwarfs

04 - Dildo

05 - Milf

06 - CannonBall Dookie

07 - Deadland

08 - Expired Beer

09 - Infection

10 - Underball

The Underball project was founded from the need of five friends to indulge in unorthodox practices and play at very high volume with the precise intention of reviving an increasingly divided and emulative musical circuit.

Dipping into different shades of Metal subgenres, Underball’s members make their looks and explicit themes their stong point, quickly distinguishing themselves for their shocking live performances.

Thanks to the five musicians’ powerful sound and experience, Underball soon came to share the stage with national and international artists such as Today Is the Day, Anvil, Insanity Alert, Negative Approach, Necrodeath, Impact and many others.

After several tours around Italy, the quintet is about to present its first studio work in the coming months, with the promise of delivering the same power as the live performances in this full-length debute.

Metal, spandex, glitter, sex and bad manners are about to collide and explode at the highest volume.

GHOST HORIZON RELEASE "THE PUNISHMENT OF LIFE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Ghost Horizon was formed late in 2015 in Phoenix, AZ, by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Dan Stollings. The atmospheric black metal band’s new album ‘The Punishment of Life’ follows their 2016 debut EP ‘Astral Possession’ and 2017 EP ‘The Erotics of Disgust’. This album will be the first and last full-length album to feature just Dan Stollings and Frog Magus. A more major revamp to the band is coming and will be announced in near the future.

‘The Punishment of Life’ not only marks a significant chapter in Ghost Horizon’s career, but it also delivers a powerful sound through unconventional means. The album is the only Ghost Horizon material to be completely recorded with a real amp and mic - it's essentially a ‘live’ recording. Vocals were all done in a single take and kept intact with all the imperfections that came with it. The result is an utterly haunting, ethereal experience. ‘The Punishment of Life’ opens with ‘Sunrise and Sorrow (Morning Air)’ which establishes Ghost Horizon’s dynamic atmosphere for the album. Their sound emerges from the darkness with alluring aura and shrill, spectral vocals pierce through the instrumentation. The black metallers balance dark and light sounds with both major and minor tonalities explored. The title track begins with a lullaby like melody, which is carried through into heavier sounds. A haunting, spiritual mood is enhanced through the transcendence of their use of tones. ‘Unholy Conjuration’ is the darkest and heaviest track on the album, drawing up an utterly Gothic, cult feel.

The new release celebrates the innovative creativity from Ghost Horizon. It’s a thrilling debut album. They have artfully cultivated a unique sound, experimenting with the epochal elements of black metal and developing their own identity. ‘The Punishment of Life’ is a beautifully chilling venture into the dark.

RUNESCARRED TO RELEASE "THE DISTANT INFINITE" EXPANDED VERSION

PRESS RELEASE:

Metallers Runescarred announce the upcoming release of the expanded edition of their 2020 album, ‘The Distant Infinite’, featuring five additional acoustic tracks. Originally forming in 2017, the quintet from Austin Texas have made their mark with their evolving discography including the critically acclaimed 2018 E.P., “We Are”, and single “Being God”. The re-release celebrates Runescarred’s epic album featuring some new, dynamic, musical offerings.

“We are extremely excited to give this record the full attention it deserves. It is a complete artistic statement and the additional acoustic tracks provide a glimpse into what we are capable of going forward. We hope everyone digs it as much as we do!

They are a dynamic mix of brand new material, reimagined tunes from the album, and a tasty Elton John cover thrown in for good measure. They cultivate a side of us we did not know we had!” ~ Runescarred

Combining epic, soaring clean and guttural, harsh vocals with powerful instrumentation, Runescarred deliver a dynamic sound. The quintet’s composition draws upon grounded metal attributes but elevates their music through incorporating their distinctive identity. Whether delivering a hard-hitting metal track, or delving into a softer acoustic piece, Runescarred pour utter emotion and storytelling into the heart of their sound. There is even an element of theatricality to their sound that elevates the atmosphere. From ludicrously intense shredding and melodic riffs to ethereal acoustic melodies, their music reaches another level.

Runescarred bring an exhilarating contribution to the world of metal, developing their music through inspired compositional techniques and performances. This re-release with new material celebrates their achievements and provides a glimpse into the band’s continuing evolution. Stay tuned for more updates!

BETRAYAL RELEASE "DISORDER REMAINS" ALBUM

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Betrayal

Disorder Remains

Rising Nemesis Records

16 April 2021

German modern death metal faction Betrayal is excited to announce the release of their second album, Disorder Remains. Set for release on April 16th via Rising Nemesis Records.

Although the term modern death metal hasn't become a "dirty word" per se, oftentimes the connotation implies something that imitates solely, while often not offering much of an experience that is solely their own. Like their fellow labelmates Rising Nemesis Records labelmates Pestilent Reign, Betrayal adeptly draws from a mix of old-school death metal, thrashy death metal, technical and progressive death metal, and a bit of blackened death metal to create some seriously awesome and well-written death metal. The end product is something that's solely Betrayal's, and it's a damn good take on death metal that you'll certainly want to hear.

Betrayal - Disorder Remains will strongly appeal to fans of Misery Index, Revocation, Death, Behemoth, and Decapitation at their grooviest.

Betrayal comments on the release of Disorder Remains

"Regarding sound quality as well as songwriting, we definitely reached the next step with Disorder Remains. The entire writing process was new for us since a  part of the record was finished in the studio where we could focus on our concept and implement a lot of spontaneous ideas. We tried to combine a gloomy and powerful atmosphere which can be transferred live as well as on CD. It was recorded at the Unleash The Sound Studios while sounds for guitars and bass were created by no other than Sky Van Hoff.  With this decision, we try to underline the intensity of emotions throughout our songs  with a brutal sound."

About The Band 

Founded in Aschaffenburg in 2005, BETRAYAL soon released 'Of Lust And Loss' in 2007, an EP that stirred up the local underground, sold out on the day of release, and showed the potential of the young band around drummer Manuel Caccamese.

After several line-up changes, BETRAYAL found themselves together again in 2014. With Alex Burkl on rhythm guitar/vocals and Philipp Gherig on bass, a foundation was finally laid to build a golden future on. They quickly drew attention to themselves again with a demo in 2015.

In 2016, eleven years after the band was founded, BETRAYAL released their first album 'Infinite Circles' on Transcending Records. They were able to gain many new fans and received nothing but great reviews. About 200k Streams on Spotify can confirm that.

With their new addition Bastian Kraus on Lead Guitar in January 2019, they not only got fresh blood but also musical quality and creativity on board.

On numerous festivals or as touring support act for bands such as Belphegor, Suffocation, Hate, Cannibal Corpse, Thy Art is Murder, Asphyx or Gruesome, they shared the stage with a lot of notable bands and were able to expand their fanbase successfully.

ENGRAVER RELEASE "BEHIND" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Old school thrash metal!

“BEHIND” embodies who we are and what we like in terms of the music we listen and want to produce. It represents the complexity of the human soul divided between pure dread and doubt, between a rational being and a beast. It is impossible to know what lays “BEHIND” each one of us.

UNFLESH RELEASE "INHUMATION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Unflesh

Inhumation

Self-Released

2 April 2021

New Hampshire-based blackened melodic death metallers Unflesh are excited to announce their second full-length, Inhumation. Set for release on Friday, April 2nd. The band partnered with artist Junki Sakuraba (Seven Spires) once again to create the killer album art for Inhumation. The album was mixed and mastered by renowned musician and engineer V. Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress, etc.) at Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany.

Inhumation comes a mere two years after the launch of their well-received 2018 debut album "Savior", yet it showcases an incredible amount of new growth from a group already brimming with abundant talent as is. The group's new album Inhumation also sees guitarist/vocalist Ryan Beevers (ex-Solium Fatalis) aided by two new members: bassist Orion Hubbard (ex-Excrecor) and drummer Jeff Saltzman (Aversed, Allegaeon (live), Continuum (live), ex-Solium Fatalis).

Regarding the musical direction on Inhumation, Ryan Beevers says: "For this album, there was a lot more focus on developing a lingering dark atmosphere throughout the record with the music and lyrics to create a more immersive listening experience. The album is a lot more dynamic and introduces some new elements into the Unflesh sound, all to enhance the mood within the album."

Unflesh - Inhumation will strongly appeal to fans of Arsis, Dissection, Emperor, Necrophagist, Necrophobic, Naglfar, Tribulation, Obscura, and Revocation.

Unflesh vocalist/guitarist Ryan Beevers comments

“Inhumation delves into the concept of desensitization and losing one's soul or losing one's humanity so to speak. The title itself is used in a metaphorical sense, as the actual definition of the word “Inhumation” is the action or practice of burying the dead. For album purposes, the title is used on a more spiritual and emotional level. Each track on the album is a bit of a meditation on different aspects of the primary concept. When the listener gets to the last song on the album, the totality of the album will have taken form. 

I was extremely focused on binding together the riffs and lyrics to channel a certain atmosphere I had in my head initially when writing the songs. The goal was to create a more immersive listening experience. I think this goal is also reflected in how the album sounds and in the artwork. Everyone involved worked very hard on this record. We are looking forward to sharing this album with the world and to finally document the next step in the Unflesh sound with this second full-length album.”

Unflesh - Inhumation Line-Up

Ryan Beevers (ex-Solium Fatalis) - Vocals, Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, Orchestrations

Orin Hubbard (ex-Excrecor) - Bass Guitar
