CULT OF LUNA RELEASE "INTO THE NIGHT" SINGLE

PRESS RELEASE:

Sweden's prolific post-metal band Cult of Luna have revealed their expansive new single "Into the Night" off their forthcoming album, The Long Road North. The record is one of their most beautiful and dynamic works to date which is palpably heard on the latest single. Guitarist and vocalist Fredrik Kihlberg explains, "'Into the Night' is about the search for something or someone that's been lost. It's about being in the state between conscious and unconscious, awake and dreaming. Seeing, hearing and experiencing things and not knowing if it's real or imagination."

For over two decades Cult of Luna have forged a sound incomparable to others - ambitious, epic, visceral, and drenched in emotion. The Long Road North marks as a follow-up to last year's The Raging River EP. As is the case with every album from the band in recent years, there is a lot of shifting of dynamics and sonic density, and perhaps more so than usual on The Long Road North. "It's a big and cinematic sounding album. I think one of the reasons why we have been able to be so productive the last couple of years is that we have been consistently writing from the heart. We have let our instincts guide us, and I think it's getting clearer where we are heading," reveals vocalist/guitarist Johannes Persson, who has been one of the primary driving forces behind the band since their inception.

Persson continues, "The long road north is a long road home. A direction dictated by a call that penetrates rock and echoes through the forest. It flows over every lake, accelerated by the wind. When it reaches you, you know it's time. Time to move forward. You don't know where it will lead but you put the trust in it. With eyes raised towards the midnight sun it pulls you closer. The road is long and the end is uncertain."

The Long Road North is out February 11 via Metal Blade Records and features guest appearances from composer Colin Stetson, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz of French indie band Phoenix, and Mariam Wallentin (Wildbirds And Peacedrums).

Recognized for their apocalyptic live performances that unrestrainedly explore the audience's imagination, Cult of Luna will bring their stunning live show to fans just in time as The Long Road North hits shelves worldwide. Currently they are confirmed to tour UK and EU next Spring with Alcest, Caspian and Holy Fawn - North American dates to follow. For a full list of dates, see below and to purchase tickets, go here.

CARMERIA RELEASE "ADVENAE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Carmeria

Advenae

Self-Released

18 March 2022

Delivering an alluring, dark sound the Australian Symphonic-Goth Metal act are preparing for a North American release of their debut album Advenae. Carving their way into the international symphonic metal scene, CARMERIA has crafted an offering that is both ghostly and divine. 

‘This album has been 6 years in the making. From multiple line-up changes to various developments in direction, it feels quite surreal to finally release this body of work. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created, and are thrilled to be building on the momentum we’ve harnessed over the last 12 months. The band is in a brilliant phase of production and creativity at the moment. I am extremely excited for the future of CARMERIA, and can’t wait to witness the ongoing response to this album.’  - Jordan Von Grae (Vocalist) 

CARMERIA embrace musical influences from across the board, from the orchestration and cinematic work of HANS ZIMMER to the gothic rock stylings of HIM, along with symphonic metal giants NIGHTWISH. Advenae unleashes a world of soaring melodies intertwined with a monstrous heaviness. From the theatrical opening of the title track, segueing into the delicate and yet demonic “Morningstar”, through to the gothic fantasy “Eternity” which soon diminishes into a haunting nightmare. Guttural vocals, staccato orchestration and dissonance induce an immersive experience with a prominent and intriguing carnivalesque style organ melody. It’s a thrilling conclusion to the album. 

CARMERIA leaves no stone unturned in their gothic-symphonic endeavour. Musically, they combine ethereal melodies, with epic harsh vocals thundering guitar rhythms. The atmosphere flowing through the album twists and turns ensuring that both aspects of dark and light endure. Advenae is an enchanting release and beautiful addition to the wealth of symphonic metal music.

PILLAGING VILLAGERS RELEASE "PILLAGING VILLAGERS"

PRESS RELEASE:

Milwaukee (WI) - Crossover Thrash/Folk Metal newcomers PILLAGING VILLAGERS will release their self-titled debut album on March 11.

The album's first single, "Wretched of the Earth," is available to stream at:

pillagingvillagers.bandcamp.com/track/wretched-of-the-earth

Merging the punk-influenced aggressiveness of crossover thrash with the Celtic melodies of folk metal, the 'peasant metal’ of Pillaging Villagers takes the listener on a journey to a medieval world of pitchfork-wielding rebellion where songs of victory and sorrow alike are belted out with tankards raised high.

Whether described as "punk Ensiferum" or "thrash Dropkick Murphys," Pillaging Villagers is a raucous, high-energy debut that rampages into the town square from its opening bars, burning and looting without respite throughout its tight 39-minute runtime.

A concept album composed entirely by vocalist David Frazer, PILLAGING VILLAGERS features the session contributions of drummer Jason Hirt (Ghost Bath), guitarist Brian Koenig (Lords of the Trident) and bassist Adam Tucker (A Scanner Darkly).

Pre-order:

SLOB RELEASE "DEEPWOODS SHACK OF SODOMY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

SLOB – DEEPWOODS SHACK OF SODOMY

LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC

RELEASE DATE: MARCH 4th 2022

One wrong turn became two, became three...and now the road is a long way behind; a lifetime away. Here, now, there is only the heat and the shadows, the ropes and nooses of moss hanging from the trees that cluster together like conspiring thieves and the thick, phlegmy, sniggering from the undergrowth. Fear squirms in your gut like snakes of ice and under the rising tide of panic and the unbidden tears which run freely down your face, tributaries merging with the smears of mud, the streams of sweat and blood, there’s the cold, hard certainty that you’re never going home...

Two-piece UK murder machine Slob were formed back in 2013, but it’s only now that they are finally ready to uncover the rotten corpse of their debut album, Deepwoods Shack Of Sodomy. Beneath the damp soil Ross Honour (Guitar) and James Murphy (Guitar/Vocals/Drum Programming) have been concealing a multitude of sins which Comatose Music have finally coaxed them into revealing. A chilling, repugnant collection of sordid paeans to despicable acts and depraved indulgences, this is an album of unbridled savagery that will test the mettle of even the most hardcore of brutal death metal devotees. An onslaught of blast beats and animalistic vocal exhortations, swamped in the filthiest riffs imaginable and littered with sound bites and samples that will make your skin crawl. Heavier than an avalanche of body parts, tracks like ‘Wrong Turn’ rupture and violate, leaving your steaming entrails in a stinking heap at your feet. If you’re not prepared for a skull shattering assault of utter sickness then just keep walking and mind your business, this one ain’t for you.

Deepwoods Shack Of Sodomy will be infecting the world with its madness from March 4th, dressed in the unmistakeable artwork of Jon Zig, known for bringing the nightmares of Defeated Sanity, Dying Fetus, Kraanium, Suffocation and many more to bleeding, suppurating life. If you’ve a thirst for perversion, degeneracy and degradation, a hunger for aural abomination and a need for a shock to your jaded senses, then it’s time to sample the wares of Slob - the self proclaimed purveyors of 'Hillbilly Death Brutality'. What happens in the shack, stays in the shack...

Line-up:

James Murphy – Vocals/Guitar/Drum Programming

Ross Honour – Guitar

Genre: Brutal Death Metal

For fans of:  Deeds of Flesh | Lividity | Mortician | Gorgasm

VIO-LENCE RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "FLESH FROM BONE"

PRESS RELEASE:

“Flesh From Bone” – First Single in 29 Years

Let The World Burn – Five Song EP Coming March 4th

Pre-Orders Available Now

Bay-area thrashers VIO-LENCE have returned with “Flesh From Bone,” their first song in 29 years. The track comes from their upcoming E.P., Let the World Burn, their first original release since 1993′s Nothing to Gain. The five-song collection will be available worldwide on March 4th via Metal Blade Records.

Listen to “Flesh From Bone” Now: youtu.be/TjwfU5C1pwg

“This is the first VIO-LENCE song I had written in close to 30 years,” admits founding guitarist Phil Demmel. “I wanted to keep some of those early Eternal Nightmare (debut album, 1988) qualities intact but infuse a lot of what I’ve culled into my songwriting arsenal over the decades. ‘Flesh From Bone’ has the frenetic picking/fingering riffs and the solo trade-offs that are pretty old-school, and I’m also wearing my influences on my sleeve with a few Exodus and Slayer inspired riffs.“

Frontman Sean Killian adds, “‘Flesh From Bone’ reflects on the true suffering of man during the dark ages of history. Laws and rules of people like Vlad the Impaler were not to be broken, if you did your sentence would be impalement, or worse. To die in battle was to suffer.“

“For 34 years, a creation called Eternal Nightmare has been making memories for people around the world. Now, it is time to create some new memories in 2022,” laments Killian. “I am very proud of the new music we created, and we are fortunate to have worked with some very creative people. Nothing too polished here, unless fragments of glass and broken razor blades are what you consider polished. I love to create, and we hope your heads explode when you hear the new VIO-LENCE!“

Filling out the band’s ranks on Let The World Burn alongside Demmel and Killian are original drummer Perry Strickland, former OVERKILL guitarist Bobby Gustafson and former FEAR FACTORY bassist Christian Olde Wolbers. Let the World Burn was recorded with Juan Urteaga at Trident Studios (Testament, Machine Head, Exodus), with mixing handled by Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Meshuggah) and Grammy Award winning engineer Ted Jensen (Alice In Chains, Deftones, Pantera).
