Atrial was forged in the fires of Hartsville, South Carolina in 2018 under the influence of the greats, like Slipknot, Black Label Society, Trivium, and many more! After their self titled EP, the band found their sound with 2019's Havoc, a metal album with fancy fretwork from Clayton, monstrous, screams from Matthew "Chewy," and solid songwriting talents and rhythm playing of William and Christopher. Lately, the band decided to welcome a new member, Zeb, on bass. Atrial continues to write new music and play live on a frequent basis. If you like what you hear from them, stay tuned for more!
Emerging from the remnants of the reunion of semi-legendary 80’s Haarlem area crossover thrash act BRUTAL OBSCENITY, Remain Untamed was founded back in 2015. Bassplayer Ernst, singer Kees and drummer Emiel continued as BRUUT but this initiation of the band was very short-lived. The band name was changed to Remain Untamed with an added touch of humor referring to the slightly “progressed” age of most of the bandmembers. Ernst decided to continue and soon added Patrick on guitars, Stein (ex- Egghead) on drums and Vinnie (ex-Skeletons Of Society) on vocals.
Second guitar player Hans (ex- T.C.F.) was added shortly after. These 5 guys formed a stable line up which lasts until this day. In 2016 the first gig was played at the Patronaat club in Haarlem and the setlist still relied a little on old Brutal Obscenity songs. Soon after enough material was written to release a first EP. Recorded at Pitchnote Studio’s by producer Jory Hogeveen in only a few days the EP contained energetic, raw crossover thrash which captured the first year of the band.
In the following years, many more live gigs were played with among others Sinister, Ritual, Hallowed Fire and many more. The material progressed to a more coherent style, more thrash elements were added and more complex song structured were adapted. In 2020 the band finished enough material to record a new mini-CD. “New World Order” was again recorded at New Road and Pitchnote Studio’s by producer Jory Hogeveen. The CD contains cover art by world-renowned artist Mario Lopez and a musical contribution by Bernd “Bernemann” Kost (Bonded, ex-Sodom). After some Covid-19 downtime, 2021 will hopefully see Remain Untamed perform firing on all cylinders again!
Finnish melodic death metal group Nemecic have released the third single off “The Last Magic in Practice”, the band’s second album set for release on October 29th. The track is titled “Dodecahedron Avenue” and comes with the group’s first-ever music video.
The band comments: “Dodecahedron Avenue” is one of the fiercest tracks off the album and was chosen as the video song due to its crushing chorus and fast tempo. The song will certainly remain on our live setlist for a long time. Lyric-wise the song follows the album’s theme of creativity. “Dodecahedron Avenue” is about finding your own path as an artist, and our trademark elements of mythology, Western occultism and magic are present as usual.”
The music video for “Dodecahedron Avenue” was directed by Jaakko Manninen.
The Last Magic in Practice -album release show: 30.10. Lutakko, Jyväskylä, FI (w/Wolfheart, Atlas)
Label - MAXIMA MUSIC PRO, WINGS OF DESTRUCTION, OLD METAL RITES
Composed of ten tracks, the album it's focused on the mental alienation to which we are brought and subjected by social networks, information and media
Zora is a brutal death metal band screaming its extreme hate from Southern Italy. The band born in 2003, taking the moniker from the name of a dog veteran of clandestine fights that had wounded him in the body and especially in the soul, making him fiercely distrustful and pissed off with the world, but at the same docile and grateful to the boy who rescued him by taking care of him, the same boy who then designed the band’s logo; Given the story of this dog, and the reason for his anger, it immediately seemed the perfect name for the band, in fact the message of the music of Zora is a social criticism, vent and total repulsion for all those attitudes and for all those people who day after day bastardizes every sphere and aspect of the human world. It is in this perspective that Zora, focusing their message in the slogan "Scream Your Hate", in 2004 shoot its first scream, Dismembered Human Race, a demo composed by 5 song full of rage. So in the same year they published another work, a mcd entitled U.V.A. ( Undisciplined Violent Aggression ), composed by new six songs and rec again, like the previous, at Sound Farm Studio (Italy). During 2005 the italian label Eyes Of The Dead Productions reprint the first demo-cd Dismembered Human Race to produce a split cd, always in 2005 Zora signs a contract of production with the american label Malicious Intent Records which reprint mini-cd U.V.A. . They start several live, full days in the rehearsal room and exchanges and contacts with different other bands, and in 2009 is out a new split cd called 4 Ways To Scream Your Hate and one year later the austrian label Bloodred Horizon Record releases their first full-length cd Gore, composed by ten new songs, signing a new contract for the production and distribution with the band. In 2011 is out a new single Slave of mind followed by another single in 2014, Abracadacab, both contained in 2015 on an ep called Two Shots. In 2016 Zora, with GLK Molè on guitar (also involved in Glacial Fear, Lupercalia and Bastardi), Giampiero Serra on drums ( also involved in Deathcrush and Infernal Goat ) and Tat0 on vox and bass ( also involved in Glacial Fear, Antipathic, Defechate, Throne of Flesh, Unscriptural, Warification ) release a new full length called Scream Your Hate, nine song of pure extreme rage brutal death metal.
During the summer of 2018 they publish a new single, this time it is a cover of The Exploited, Beat The Bastards, contained in a new ep called Mad-e in Italy, out in November 2019.
In July 2021 is out, for Maxima Music Pro (ID) Wings Of Destruction (RU) and Old Metal Rites Records (BR), the third full length, called Soul Raptor, 10 new tracks and always the same hate!

Guitarist and founding member René Berthiaume comments:
"I still remember how I did sit in my bedroom in front the computer, a couple of mead bottles next to me. We wrote this simple first song for our first show but we would have never expected that this would have made such an impact on the underground scene. It was very fun to dig out this track and create a special version with many friends we have met (pun intended) during our journey."
Besides enjoying their favourite mead, EQUILIBRIUM are still busy in the studio with the recording of their upcoming 7th album that is currently scheduled for 2022.

The Bremen-based death metallers Fear Connection was founded in 2014 by Tim (Blind Bullets) and Rolf (Ctulu, Lunar Eclipse). In the spring of 2018, the "Raging Terror EP" was released, a first recording document that attracted attention throughout the scene, and the band was also able to make a name for themselves with energetic, rousing live shows.
In April 2020, the album "Progeny Of A Social Disease" was recorded in the renowned Soundlodge Studio under the direction of Jörg Uken, who perfectly captured the band's energy and refined it to a fitting sound. The result is an incredibly brutal, dynamic and varied album that combines powerful death metal with thrash elements, various facets of punk/d-beat, catchy melodies and hook lines.
The original release plans had to be postponed a bit due to the Corona Pandemic, but on 1 October 2021, the time has finally come. The album will be released as a CD jewel case as well as a vinyl edition in two different versions (black and neon-green-splatter).
Odium Records announces a premiere of the first song from the upcoming split of two Norwegian bands - Kirkerbran and Visegard titled "Kirkegard". This is a song of Visegard called “Hvor Gausta Rår”.

Canadian dissonant death metal trio Mors Verum (Label: Total Dissonance Worship) just partnered with No Clean Singing to premiere "Purge". The group's new EP, The Living drops on November 5th.
As often as music exists separate from real life, the intersection between reality and the vibe of any new music is always a potent fruit to let ripen or rot if it helps or hurts to define a group's music in any given place in time. In spite of worldwide hope that 2021 might be less bleak than 2020, a multiplicity of new problems and scenarios have made clear we're much further from any sort of recovery and growth than we'd like.
What better soundtrack to ride out these ongoing dark times exists than potent dismal death metal from Mors Verum? The Ontario, Canada-based trio, active since 2014, features well-known drummer Greg Carvalho (ex-Bloodshot Dawn live, Aepoch) paired with multi-instrumentalist Mrudul Kamble on guitar/bass and vocalist Lyndon Quadros have plenty of potent venom and killer ideas to spare on their new EP, The Living. Set for release on Friday, November 5th through Total Dissonance Worship (Nightmarer, etc.).
Mors Verum - The Living serves as the group's third release, following their 2019 full-length, Deranged, and initial 2015 EP, Indoctrination Forest. Mors Verum - The Living was a largely self-recorded and a self-mixed affair, aided by a notable punch on the mastering end from Fuck The Facts guitarist Topon Das. That band's music itself is an influence on their music in a way that helps them stick out from the normal dissonant death metal sound.
In the endless rat race to out-spew, out-filth, and out-derange everyone else, Mors Verum - The Living stands out as a nasty ode to embracing old and new, obscure and well known, into something extremely disturbing without sacrificing memorability. Mors Verum - The Living will appeal to fans of bands such as Artificial Brain, Fuck the Facts, Imperial Triumphant, Plebeian Grandstand, Morbid Angel, Incantation, and Ulcerate.
Mors Verum band statement about The Living EP
“The Living” is a concept EP that beckons the listener to inspect life as an artifact of death and its infinity. Dissonant passages, dizzying drums, introspective lyrics, and groovy chaos come together to create a musical journey flowing with variety. The song titles create the sentence “Inside Death's Womb Purge the Living.” A statement reflecting our observations of conscious existence. Crafted with intention and vigor, “The Living” is the most focused and intense release from Mors Verum. Though the subject matter is grim, the music implores the listener to seek beauty in the vast emptiness of mortality."
