ENFORCER RELEASE VIDEO FOR "KISS OF DEATH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In March 2021, Swedish heavy metal commando ENFORCER released its second live album, “Live By Fire II”, which included a truly triumphant show captured in Mexico City, 2019. But ENFORCER have not been revelling in past glories during the last couple of months, quite the opposite! Brothers Olof and Jonas Wikstrand have been locked up in their own Hvergelmer Studio, crafting new songs to now unleash the brand-new single ‘Kiss Of Death’, a first impression of ENFORCER’s sixth studio album, which is expected to be released in early 2022.

Olof Wikstrand comments: "Heavy metal fans across the planet, are you with us?! Finally it’s time for us to unveil what we’ve been up to the past year and it feels incredibly awesome to present "Kiss Of Death" to you all. A totally raw, yet melodic speed metal hymn! A hit and run metal hymn that should leave no head unbanged!!"

OBVURT PLAYS SHOW AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

PRESS RELEASE:

Quebecois-based death metal three-piece Obvurt have played a show at Saint-Albert-Le-Grand Elementary School, where the frontman Philippe Drouin teaches music. The guitar player had to relearn the guitar left-handed with legendary tutor Michael Angelo Batio after a car accident left him unable to use his right hand for picking.

«After being a victim of a car accident in late December 2016, I lost my picking as a right-handed guitar player for more than 15 years. After talking with Pat Martino in 2017, I bought my first left-handed guitar, and it begins there», he told Metal Sucks. «Since I made that choice, I tried to recover and practice a lot, trying to get my picking back on my right hand in 2018. I was playing both sides every day for a while. One day, I felt I was able to become left-handed, so I decided to leave everything behind and start over.»

Obvurt have recently released their debut EP The Beginning, which showcases Drouin's newly acquired left-handed skills.

AL NAMROOD RELEASE "KITAB AL AWTHAN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Originally released in 2012 by Al-Namrood, this album is now coming out for the first time on vinyl on July 21 2021 in its original sound. The vinyl will be limited to 300 with 200 being black and 100 being splatter orange/black. 

That (Black) Metal has found its way into the most remote places in the world is nothing new. Saudi Arabia, however, is still a specialty, after all, it is certainly no picnic to produce such music in an Islamic state of God. Nonetheless, curious and open-minded listeners of extreme musical styles should risk an ear, because AL-NAMROOD is definitely well thought-out - Metal.de

Offers a lot more than Black Metal with a few oriental sprinkles. Here, too, the black art is coherently interwoven with Arabic rhythms and melodies, creating a very unique sound from which the Norwegian roots rarely emerge. The mixture turns out to be extremely catchy and atmospherically gripping, and works in both mid-tempo and faster pace. - Powermetal.de

I wish I could tell you what the song titles mean, but my Arabic is a little rusty. But I can tell you what they sound like. They sound like a massive sandstorm sweeping across the Arabian peninsula. - No Clean Singing

That's presumably because it's a lot easier to be in an anti-Christian metal band in the US, than in an anti-Islamic metal band in Saudi Arabia. In America, your obstacles extend to overhearing your mom tell a friend you're just "going through a phase." In Saudi Arabia, you face social ostracism and the possibility of imprisonment or death. - Vice News

2.No Cure for Age

3.Chode Slam

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist: Grey Skies Fallen

Album: Cold Dead Lands

Genre: Progressive Death/Doom Metal

Country: USA

Label: Paragon Records / Grimm Distribution / More Hate

Release date: April 8th, 2021

This is a re-release of the album that the band put out themselves in 2020. Once again, the band delivers a unique approach to their style with an original & powerful vocal delivery and a truly dismal atmosphere. The band also shows their growth with their song writing and how they continue to get stronger with each release while ignoring the underground trends. The production is top notch & organic- this is their most professional to date. Things can only get gloomier!

Established in 1996, Grey Skies Fallen have been honing their Progressive Death Doom style across a Demo, 2 EP's, a Single & 4 Full Lengths with multiple live performances across the United States (notedly Milwaukee Metal Fest XIV) to lead up to this 5th Full Length "Cold Dead Lands" which the band initially self released as 300 CD copies under independent label name Old Souls Collective in January 2020.

Mixing & Mastering done by Unisound Recordings - Dan Swano (Edge Of Sanity, Katatonia, Bloodbath, Witherscape & more.) Album cover art is again done by Travis Smith whose portfolio includes (King Diamond, Death, Nevermore and we could go on for days...).

This is the second album from Grey Skies Fallen that is affiliated with Paragon Records - the first being the 2014 CD release of "The Many Sides Of Truth."

WITHERING SOUL TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM "LAST CONTACT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Chicago (IL) - Blackened Melodic Death Metal veterans WITHERING SOUL have announced the September 24 release of new album Last Contact on Mortal Music. The band's album release show with MORTA SKULD occurs the same evening at The Cobra Lounge in Chicago.

The band released the following statement concerning Last Contact:

"WITHERING SOUL continues with their fourth installment of blackened melodic death metal, dramatic mood swings and eerie atmospheres. Last Contact is an anthology of stories that blur the line between the living and deceased and elaborates on the idea of receiving a communication from someone or something that no longer exists. Anything from a voice recording, a distress signal, to a star flickering in the night sky. The observer is left only to their interpretation, unsuspecting of what could potentially be something far more sinister than what appears. Reality is sometimes the scariest narrative of all!"

Track Listing:

1. Visitation

2. Allegory of the Void

3. Carrion Reflection

4. Of Blackened Pillars

5. Ascent to Madness

6. Into the Harrowing Expanse

7. The Transcendence of Night

8. Uncharted Course

Album Credits:

Mixed and mastered by Dennis Israel at Clintworks Audio

SUFFER YOURSELF PREMIERS NEW ALBUM "RIP TIDE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Funeral doom institution SUFFER YOURSELF conspires with Aesthetic Death to release “Rip Tide”, the band’s third album, on June 25th 2021.

Today, heavily-trafficked metal portal No Clean Singing is hosting an exclusive premiere of "Rip Tide" at THIS LOCATION!

A couple of weeks ago, Cvlt Nation launched an excerpt from the visionary album opener, “Spit in the Chasm”. Check it out HERE!

Dark, morose, dirgeful– a maelstrom of intense doom death.

SUFFER YOURSELF have returned – following the acclaimed and respected 2016 release of “Ectoplasm” – with a new album that has taken the band to a new level of composition, construction and expression.

What immediately stands out is the darker death metal tones found within “Rip Tide” – those tones signified in the deathly doom of acts such as Esoteric or Evoken – however, SUFFER YOURSELF create their own space, with the maturity from over a decade of craft and unblinkered vision.

Throughout “Rip Tide” there is an undercurrent of suffocating drone – with all tracks being built upon the claustrophobic foundations of a drone score created by Belarusian artist UGASANIE. From that point the expressive composition adds layers of beautifully dissonant guitar work that has a notable 90s death metal feel to it. Within that there is an almost cinematic scope to the album – with sounds and samples embroidered into the music. The final touch being delivered with a mesmerising cello part – that is wonderfully woven into the tracks and adds such depth. Even though the feel of the album is the same throughout there is a distinct difference between all tracks.

All these elements are brought together, to create a maelstrom, a master class in underground extreme death doom.

SUFFER YOURSELF have crafted a wonderful album and have shown the world that they now sit amongst the best of the extreme doom genre

Album tracklist:

01. Spit in the Chasm

02. Desir de Trepas Maritime (Au Bord de la Mer Je Veux Mourir)

03. Submerging
