About
This EP is the first release of a solo project by Sarg. It´s been recorded at Track Sabbath Studio in multiple sessions during 2021.
What started as a band now became a solo project. Driven by this incorrigible world, the solo artist Sarg is getting rid of his inner demons regurgitating the truth and finally giving all our problems a name... MANKIND.

PRESS RELEASE:
Purple Dawn presents their second record, Peace & Doom Session Vol. II, comes 11 March 2022 digitally and on multiple variations of vinyl via Electric Valley Records.
Cologne-based Purple Dawn has always been the balance between things: hard riffing energy and heart-hitting melody, good and bad, high and low, future and past, and sometimes far and beyond. And that’s why the three-piece calls their music “Peace & Doom.” Heavily rooted in the psychedelic hard rock saturated doom metal, Purple Dawn offers an enthralling blend of both classic and modern sounding bands. While their devotion towards Sabbath, Pentagram, and Zeppelin is conspicuous, their love for bands like Mastodon, Rezn, Windhand, or Orange Goblin should not be overlooked. In contrast to the majority of bands in the genre, Purple Dawn is not shy away from having a variety of styles in their songs: it’s like putting on a Led Zeppelin record where no track sounds like the other.
The power trio emerged in early-2020, and a few months after their formation, they offered the Peace & Doom Session Vol. I. The A-Side of the album contains the complete Peace & Doom Session, recorded live in the band’s rehearsal room in Cologne, whereas the B-Side comprises three studio tracks.
The first Peace & Doom Session was well received by the community, and Purple Dawn kept the torch lit and continued writing songs, even though there was no chance for a live show due to the lockdown. “..So as we couldn’t get our music out to the people and public stages, there really was no other way than playing a gig to the cameras again. So we did...” The doom-power-trio hit a great studio in Oberhausen and recorded the second chapter of their live sessions: Peace & Doom Session Vol. II. Every song aims for a non-identical direction, but all have some elements in common: massive riffs, powerful vocals, and a very own atmosphere. PDS Vol. II starts and ends with an instrumental (almost) piece called “Bonganchamun.” The five songs in between are tales from nomad rituals in the desert to the oppressiveness of the depths of the sea — revolution, misguided minds, and the intrinsic evil of human beings. The record captures an unfaltering high-energy set of Purple Dawn’s doom rock and brings upon PEACE & DOOM.

1. Bonganchamun
2. 100 Years a Day

Hymn To The Woeful Hearts
by Pure Wrath
Tracklist:
1.The Cloak Of Disquiet 08:31
2.Years Of Silence 06:09
3.Presages From A Restless Soul 07:48
4.Footprints Of The Lost Child 09:32
5.Those Who Stand Still 08:23
6.Hymn To The Woeful Hearts 03:40
PURE WRATH - formed 2014 in West Java, Indonesia - is the soul-stirring atmospheric Black Metal project of multi-instrumentalist Januaryo Hardy.
A continuation of preceding EP "The Forlorn Soldier", 3rd full-length "Hymn to the Woeful Hearts" is a wounded, epically emotive exploration of timeless grief which ascends to the next level - simmering down past symphonics and ramping up the bitterness, aggression, textural dynamism and melancholic conviction.
Again featuring skilled and energetic guest drumwork from Yurii Kononov (ex-WHITE WARD), PURE WRATH have here produced their deepest, darkest, most organic and engaging work to date: perfectly balancing howls of primal rage with tear-stained, hymnal sung passages, simultaneously vicious and yearning guitar-work, poignant synth, evocative acoustics and heartfelt thematic realism.
In the words of Hardy:
"The record serves as a dedication to a mother and survivor of the 1965 Indonesian genocide whose son was kidnapped, tortured and brutally beheaded. For more than fifty years she had to pretend everything was normal through every second of her sorrow, living under the shadow of the still-powerful perpetrators."

PRESS RELEASE:
Slovak post-black metal band Besna has released the lyric video for the single Revúca from the upcoming release of their debut album Zverstvá, which is scheduled to be out on March 11, 2022.
"In our legends, humankind rarely witnesses the birth of the world - yet we tend to proudly boast we’ll be here to witness its end…"
Revúca means “wailing”. The song speaks about climate issues of our wailing planet and its relation to humankind. The track has a modern metal sound with post-rock and black metal influences.
The lyric video was made by the video producer Dominik Kopec. Art used in the video was designed by the young graphic designer Tomáš Paulen.
The single is also available on the band's bandcamp and soon also on streaming services.

Available to preorder beginning 2/25 at 3PM (EST). Limited edition cassette tapes in 2 color variants and exclusive longsleeve, 3-sided shirts with metallic silver inks!!
WWW.GURGLINGGORE.COM
Intestinal Hex and Pukewraith are 2 solo side-projects from the members of Gutvoid and Fumes.
With his Pukewraith moniker, Brendan Dean takes the vomitous death metal sound that he explored on his debut demo (released by Gurgling Gore in 2021) and steps it up to a whole new level of rancidity. The riffs are otherworldly, the vocals grosser than a retching cat, and the guitar leads have more shred than a bag of cheddar cheese. FFO: Cannibal Corpse, Ripping Corpse, Massacre
Intestinal Hex are one of the death metal underground’s best kept secrets. It’s unlikely the name will stay secret for long though. Daniel Bonofiglio (Gutvoid, Fumes, etc.) burst into the scene with his debut Intestinal Hex album last year. With the project, he churns out death metal that is as brutal as it is dark and atmospheric. A perfect combination of classic American and Finnish death metal sounds! FFO: Adramelech, Demilich., Incantation.
Rather than do a traditional split EP where side one is reserved for one band and side two for the other, Pukewraith and Intestinal Hex leapfrogged their tracks on “Medieval Grime.” Each band offers up 3 songs each. The split begins with Pukewraith and then Intestinal Hex, back and forth with their unique styles, but unified under a single theme: medieval times.
I cannot recommend this split enough. If you are a fan of true, underground death metal, do not sleep on this! Everything is limited. All preorders will begin shipping in late March/early April.

About
On January 14th, 2022 internationally, PERSONAL RECORDS is proud to present NULLIFICATION's striking debut album, Kingdoms to Hovel.
Formed in May 2021, NULLIFICATION's brand of death metal is sure to bring destructive breakneck music to old-school listeners with their exciting debut album. Founded by Jayson Gonzales in his hometown of Bay, Laguna, Philippines, he initially wrote the materials for the album before he was later joined by Andrei Alemania on drums, Rozel Leaño on vocals and bass, and Jonathan Miranda on lead guitars — all current members of Desolator (Philippines) and Formless Oedon. The band finished writing, recording, and production of their debut album in June of the same year.
After its ominous intro, immediately upon pressing "play" to Kingdoms to Hovel, the listener will be transported back to glorious times — ancient days done with ancient ways. NULLIFICATION's attack is pure and true Metal of Death brewed in the cauldron of olde, with their foremost influences of Mercyless, Benediction, Demolition Hammer, Ripping Corpse, Morbid Angel, early Cynic, and Asphyx ringing loud and clear. However, the quartet are no mere plagiarists, and proudly contribute to this hallowed lineage with righteously ripping songwriting that's straightforward and fucking EVIL and a possessed & poisoned style of execution that literally sounds DANGEROUS. Everything comes at you at once, and there's NO ESCAPE. Sealing the coffin is the devastating production: palpably physical, and the perfect balance between clear 'n' cutting and raw 'n' bloody.
Mark our words: one will not find a death metal record in 2022 that sounds as authentically 1992 as NULLIFICATION's Kingdoms to Hovel.

About
Sungazer mini EP - includes instrumental version and bonus Radiohead cover
releases April 8, 2022
VISCERA have released a new EP, entitled Sungazer
Speaking about the new EP, the band shares, “we’re surrounded by this smoke screen lifestyle, where people base their comparisons of others through a diamond lens that leaves all the sh*t in the shadows…Sungazer touches on that. Lyrically, it’s about becoming fixated on pursuits or people that ultimately have a negative impact on your mental state, to the point where you become cut off and disassociated with everyone around you. The distraction tactics we take on to escape from that, only to find yourself losing sight of the things that truly matter in your life and by then all the time has passed. We thought having the song set on another planet would be a cool way to symbolise that feeling of being cut off and alone.”
