MOTHMAN AND THE THUNDERBIRDS RELEASE "INTO THE INSTRUMENTALS" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist: Mothman and The Thunderbirds

Album: Into the Instrumentals (EP)

Genre: Progressive Sludge Metal, Progressive Rock

Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA

Release Date: August 3rd, 2021

FFO: Mastodon, Devin Townsend, Candy Claws

Into the Instrumentals is a reimagined selection of songs from the Mothman and The Thunderbirds’ debut album Into the Hollow. Rather than simply releasing an instrumental version of the whole album, project frontman Alex Parkinson wanted the EP to be a unique listening experience. Hearing the tracks “Cloud Giant” and “Hollow Sun” without vocals will allow

the listener to lose themselves in ethereal bliss, while the instrumental versions of “Agarthan Riders” and “Nomad” further solidify those tracks as absolute riff factories. It’s not all about instrumentals of course; the song “Squonk” has been stripped of its instrumentation to highlight those massive vocal harmonies.

Mothman and The Thunderbirds’ new EP Into the Instrumentals will be available on all streaming platforms on August 3rd, with digital copies available on Bandcamp for just $1. 

Speaking on the origins of the project, Alex had this to say: "The band name was inspired by a binge-watch session of the beloved program Ancient Aliens. In one of the episodes, a host posited that the Mothman may be a Thunderbird. I thought to myself, ‘hey, Mothman and The Thunderbirds would be a really dumb, but great, band name,’ and the rest was history!"

PARASITIC ENTITY RELEASE "THE SELF AGGRANDISING LIE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Parasitic Entity

The Self-Aggrandising Lie

Spirit Coffin Publishing

16 July 2021 | CD

Technical Death Metal from UK.

PARASITIC ENTITY is a Technical/Progressive Death Metal duo formed between guitarist Joe Potts and vocalist Liam McKeown who'd played together in various other bands during their time at university. Their debut full-length comes by way of inspiration from technical death metal bands like Obscura, The Faceless and Archspire yet their distinguishing factor is to balance this level of technicality with well-thought-out melodies and hooks. Incorporating long and unusual song structures also results from inspiration from Opeth and Gorguts.

'The Self-Aggrandising Lie' was recorded during the U.K.'s first period of lockdown within the duos shared flat, with guitarist Joe also recording bass and programming the drums. They then released the album digitally on Bandcamp in late October of 2020. This limited CD release will be the first physical edition of the album. Lyrical themes for the album include: "Anti-establishment beliefs, confronting the realities of modern existence, frustration at the lack of control we have, and how The Lord of the Rings’ Treebeard is as fed up with it as we are."

PARASITIC ENTITY are currently putting together a full lineup in the hopes of playing live, as well as writing material for a follow-up release.

Line-up:

Liam McKeown - Vocals

Joe Potts - Guitar, Bass, Programmed Drums

Tracklist:

Diminished Potency

Schrodinger's Reality

Delusional Supremacy

Halls Built On Bones Of The Past

In Defiance Of A Narcissist King

The Cynic

SILENT OBSESSION RELEASE "COUNTDOWN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Silent Obsession

Countdown

Self-Released

15 July 2021 | Digital

Death metal from Algeria

Following the release of the “Lost” EP in 2020, Silent Obsession drops its latest EP “Countdown”, out now on CD Baby and available on over 100 digital streaming and music platforms worldwide. Written and composed by Max Marginal and produced by Redouane Aouameur of Fermata Studio Algiers, the “Countdown” EP portrays an in-depth extreme musical perspective into the devastating, global apocalypse.

“Countdown” features 3 highly packed tracks filled with musical ingenuity of raw power, heavy and aggressive riffage, brutal drumming and guttural vocals to match the thematic demise of the world. Max says, “It’s about the apocalypse, the end of the world.”

Highlighting the reflection of today’s society on his previous “Lost” EP, Max says, “Silent Obsession reaches the highest level of a global mental failure when madness becomes something legit in this society.”

Making its mark in the Algerian Metal scene and now expanding worldwide, Silent Obsession analyses the obscure and covertly, the dark side of humanity and society’s oppressive systemic constructs through pure emotions, and enthrallingly brutal musical compositions.

Line-up:

Danny - vocals

Manil - bass

Ben der - drums

Max marginal - guitar

About:

Under a new moniker and sound, London, ON’s melodic death groove/thrash band, Mütherload is a regrouped tour-de-force birthed from the ashes of Heaven Ablaze (2003-2012).

Sometimes our paths are meant to be crossed with one another more than once in this lifetime, and that’s how the story of Mütherload came to be.

Guitarist Patrick Davison bumped into drummer Matt Ashton while on the day job. Both hadn’t seen each other since their previous band Heaven Ablaze went on hiatus in 2013. As old friends get to chatter and play catch up on each other’s activities, one thing was certain they would be writing music together once again. Hitting the jam space in 2019, it didn’t take long for the band to recruit members, bassist Chris McKichan joined the line-up and after their first jam, the trio had four songs created. With a foundation already laid, the band completed its ranks with the two Derek’s, guitarist Derek Haley and vocalist Derek Lee (ex-Ataxia.).

After two years of creating and crafting their sound, along with being local opening support for touring bands Threat Signal, Green Jëllo, Beyond Creation, and The Blood of Christ, the quintet is now ready to present their first offering in the form of an EP entitled “Ü”. The EP is a six-track introduction of Mütherload’s thrashy, groovy, melodic death sound.

“The Ü EP is our first step back into the metal scene after years of silence. We feel this small collection of music represents the focus that we’ve developed as a band in our songwriting for the first time in years. Musically, we’ve stretched our reach into new territory with open tunings, and more space for vocals. This EP deserves to be played loud, so crank it up!” adds guitarist Patrick Davison.

The band has already previewed their lead single “The Visitor”, with their first music video earlier this year. The song was originally written years ago as an acoustic song, which is why if you listen carefully, you can hear an acoustic track in the chorus. The band feels this song best represents their sound as there is a little bit of everything in there. There’s groove, thrash, melody, dynamics, and flow along with it being one of the band’s favorites to play live as well. 

The “Ü” will be released on June 25th, 2021 on all digital platforms.

EP and Live Band Line Up:

Patrick Davison – Guitar

Derek Haley – Guitar

Chris McKichan – Bass

Matt Ashton – Drums

Derek Lee – Vocals

MARINER RELEASE "DEVASTATING SYNERGY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

On July 30th internationally, Spirit Coffin Publishing is proud to present MARINER’s debut EP, "Devastating Synergy", on cassette tape format.

An energetic, emotional and ripping merger between classicist influence and modern prowess - Tokyo, Japan based sci-fi death/thrash metal band MARINER's debut EP "Devastating Synergy" renders its first deeply carved portal to the public via this stunningly addictive entrance.

Within these two intricately cut pieces there exist no points of indecision for this artist whom arrives with personae and power in hand that invokes a dichotomy of past-and-present with each movement: from the twisted prog-melodicism of Horrendous and Theory in Practice to the rocket-fueled technical ebullience of Carcariass and Cryptic Shift the horizon reveals itself in stunning render, bursting into ear thanks to fine mastering from Damien Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studio.

Brief as our introduction will be, this first cassette tape aims to leave a crater finely etched with the MARINER name.

Tracklist:

01. Proclamation

02. A You Eclipse

MARINER 'Devastating Synergy' EP
