MISANTROPHIA RELEASE VIDEO FOR "DIAMONDS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The video of “Diamonds”, the new single from MISANTROPHIA, is available at this location. The track is now streaming on Spotify and on all digital platforms via Ad Noctem Records. The recording sessions took place at the VaulTKat Studio, under the guidance of Matteo Turla, former guitarist of the band. Davide Aroldi took care of mixing and mastering.

The video is by well-known videomaker Stefano Mastronicola.

The sound of MISANTROPHIA has no boundaries. While boasting roots in metalcore and deathcore, it is the result of a continuous musical research drawing influences from djent, classic heavy metal and electronics. A very emotional sound, often dark and negative, that the band aims to express with every single note.

 

Frontman Matteo Truppa states:

 

"We are very satisfied and enthusiastic about the work done with ‘Diamonds’, it is without doubt the beginning of a new musical journey. Where will it take us? Hard to say. What I have always loved about this band is that we never ask ourselves any questions and / or limit ourselves; we have never started a project by telling ourselves ‘it has to sound this way or that other way’. We just do what we like. It is our way of experiencing music: absolute freedom, free from trends or any external pressure. I hope you like this song, at least as much as we love it and hold on tight, this is just the beginning!"

TRAITOR TO RELEASE "LAST HOPE FOR THE WRETCHED" ON CD

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Formed in the fall of 2012 and inspired by bands such as MOTORHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST, GWAR, ACCEPT, and GG ALLIN, TRAITOR are preparing to unleash their latest offering Last Hope for the Wretched on CD format on July 8th, through First Blood Family Records. 

TRAITOR released their debut EP Delaware Destroyers in late 2014, and embarked on a powerful journey to discover their sound. TRAITOR explores a wide range of themes from personal loss, political strife and war, as well as mutant heroes and cult movies. Not wishing to constrain themselves within the slim margins of what defines metal genres today, TRAITOR’s personal brand of heavy metal can range from thundering double bass and ripping speed riffs, to bass heavy single kick jams under a grooving solo. Further distinguishing TRAITOR from the masses is their twin vocal attack. Led primarily by Greg’s gruff traditional vocal style, they also bring out Joe’s death-thrash vocals for a back-up punch, as well as leads on their heavier songs.

TRAITOR released their second, self-titled EP in 2017, as well as their split 7 with SACRIFICIAL BLOOD, featuring the song “Weapon X”. January 2022 saw the digital release of their debut full-length album, Last Hope For The Wretched, showcasing TRAITOR's exclusive brand of heavy metal that disregards trends, breaks free of the shackles of purity, and delivers an attack that is truly one of a kind. 

Listen on Bandcamp: https://traitorphl.bandcamp.com/album/last-hope-for-the-wretched

Previously, the album had been released on vinyl in February. 

TRAITOR is:

Greg Lundmark – Lead Guitar/Lead Vocals

Brian Mikus – Rhythm Guitar/Backup Vocals

Tony “Gloves” Didonato – Bass

Joe Rado – Drums/Backup & Lead Vocals

TROG RELEASE "OF VOMIT REBORN" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Initially forming as a three-piece in 2019, TROG (formerly TROGLOROT), released their debut EP Cave Dweller in the same year. The following years led to developments in both the band's line-up and creative direction, and TROG are now ready to unleash the gory delights in Of Vomit Reborn on July 22nd, 2022.

TROG strive to deliver a savage old school death metal attack but with a more modern sense of precision, groove, and melody, entwined with an 80s horror vibe. The grisly outfit bleed inspiration from an array of acts across the extreme metal subgenres with notable mentions, CANNIBAL CORPSE, UNDEATH, early GOJIRA, DEATH, and MORBID ANGEL. Eerie electronics in the EP's "Intro" evoke a dramatic sense of foreboding before descending into the deadly depths. Bloodthirsty guttural vocals rise through the heavy instrumentation in "Horrific Irrational Dream Imagery" to a monstrous effect. Bringing high impact with the hard hitting sound of "Cosmic Parasite", through to the progressive melodies seeping through "Of Vomit Reborn".   

Immerse yourself in the sanguinary of TROG's latest offering. Brutal riffs, powerful percussion and ghastly vocals fuse together to birth an abominable sound. Deviating with unexpected interludes of 80s style synths, cuts through the dark mood with an equally disturbing segment. TROG have produced a grisly death metal release in Of Vomit Reborn, with their own distinctive twist.  

TROG is:

Hudson Barth - Drums, Synths, Backing Vocals

Pete Colucci - Lead Vocals

Dan Erdenberger - Guitar, Bass

TJ Coon - Guitar, Synths

AMONGST THE ASHES RELEASE "THE FABRICATED MONOLITH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish-based Amongst the Ashes has released new EP named "The Fabricated Monolith", featuring cinematic and epic atmosphere, an array of different vocals styles, and fast-paced riffs. Persian Setar, a type of lute used in Persian traditional music, highlights the song with its unique sound that's very rarely heard in extreme metal music.

Listen to "The Fabricated Monolith": https://push.fm/fl/amongsttheashes-fabricatedmonolith

Amongst the Ashes was established in 2018 as the solo project of Aelian Hallaji who has been a long-time musician/songwriter in Iranian metal scene. The band’s music is mostly based on combination of fast-paced heavy riffs and eerie middle eastern themes as a background for Hallaji’s metaphorically pleading words. The first Single “Blood Red Hands” was released in August 2020, followed by “Agonizing Awakening” EP in September as a one-man band, which got superb feedback and was featured on many radio shows, worldwide. Since early 2021, Aelian has moved to Finland and invited very talented musicians from Tampere, to cooperate. This EP will introduce the band’s new chapter and feature familiar elements from the earlier releases coupled with all the more aggressive touch and world-class production quality.

R.O.T. RELEASE "YOMI NO KUNI"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Artist: R.O.T.

Release title: Yomi No Kuni

Label: Self-Released

Release Date: 29-04-2022

Format: Digital, CD

Genre: Metalcore, Deathcore, Modern Metal with electronics and trap elements

Country: Italy

YOMI NO KUNI is the second album by R.O.T. but it differs so much from the previous one that it can be considered a new debut.

The band almost completely abandons the melodic death metal atmospheres of 2018 and embraces a fresh and modern sound giving space to experimentation and the fusion of different sounds.

The base is metalcore/deathcore combined with electronic, rap, trap, and great use of sampling.

The album is an imaginary journey into "YOMI" the land of the dead according to oriental culture.

We meet dead people who tell their story and their sins, we meet Yokai (spirits of oriental culture) who will have the task of punishing sinners.

We try to explore every human instinct to give its own interpretation to the sins of which we are all capable.

The composition of the songs began during the 2020 lockdown... Louis states that at that time he had already finished a tracklist of about 10 songs which, however, he completely discarded after various second thoughts, choosing to approach composition and production in a totally new way.

The new songs (born in 2020 and 2021) have been continuously reworked, reinvented, and rearranged, up to a few weeks before the discs went to press.

The search for sound explores territories that are also very far from metal ... Like lofi, trap, edm and much more.

All the features present in the tracklist were fundamental to give new life to songs that were in a "dead" situation

The main inspirations for this record and for the research of the new sound are: Within Destruction, Paledusk and Bring Me The Horizon but also artists far from metal such as Bewhy, Marshmello, NF and many others

For fans of Within Destruction, Paledusk and Bring Me The Horizon but also artists far from metal such as Bewhy, Marshmello, NF and many others.

IDOL THRONE RELEASE "THE SIBYLLINE AGE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: July 12th, 2022

FFO: Heathen, Symphony X, Paladin

Location: Northwest Indiana, U.S.A.

Formed in late 2018 by guitarists Jason Schultz (Wraith, Mind’s Horizon) and Martin Bowman (Farwatch), Idol Throne is a band with a sonic mission and vision; the blending of elements from U.S. Power, Bay-Area Thrash, Neoclassical and Traditional Heavy Metal, combined with a progressive sense of songwriting and a strong focus on melody. 

Joined by drummer/percussionist Aaron Grove (Axxios) in early 2019, and vocalist Jake Quintanilla (Mind’s Horizon, Berith) in 2020, the band made the most of the extended downtime caused by the global pandemic and recorded demo “Proof of Life” in the Fall of 2020, which saw release on streaming platforms January 1st, 2021. The 3-song recording serves as an introduction to the band’s sound, and as a small taste of what to expect on the upcoming debut LP “The Sibylline Age” to be released on July 12th 2022.

With the addition of bassist Trevor Kuta (Xenopredator) in the Winter of 2022, and a full docket of live performances scheduled throughout the Midwest, Idol Throne is poised to become a name to know in the modern heavy metal scene.

EINHERJER RELEASE LIVE ALBUM

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Norse metal legends EINHERJER proudly announce the upcoming release of their first live album, Norse And Dangerous (Live... From The Land Of Legends), out August 5, 2022 via Napalm Records in vinyl (strictly limited to 300 copies) and digital formats! Norse And Dangerous (Live... From The Land Of Legends) was recorded in the band’s hometown of Haugesund in February of last year at their North Star (2021) album release shows, and follows the release of said full length, which was acclaimed both by fans and media alike (Spark 5/5 [CZ], Deaf Forever 8/10 [DE], Hardline 8.5/10 [DE], Metal Hammer 8/10 [UK]).  

Norse And Dangerous (Live... From The Land Of Legends) not only includes songs from North Star, but beautifully sums up EINHERJER’s discography, offering a live gem satisfying both new and current fans and Viking metal legions beyond!

To give a first glimpse of what can be expected of the live album, EINHERJER have released the new live version of their single “West Coast Groove”, originally on North Star, along with a music video. Riddled with even huskier live vocals, the powerful track combines old school vibes with dark Viking metal atmosphere that brings the tension of a live concert into your living room.

 

EINHERJER on the live version of “West Coast Groove”:

"With no gigs in a year and new blood in our ranks, we recorded the two hometown release shows just to get an idea of what we sounded like live in 2021. It only took one listen to realize that our fans would appreciate this as much as we did. EINHERJER live is an energetic experience. We want to let everyone hear that, so here's our first live album, recorded live on our home turf in front of many familiar faces. The document of a great evening!"

Watch the official video for the live version of “West Coast Groove” HERE: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWmBO5ip8N8

World-renowned Norsemen EINHERJER have returned to unleash their fantastic, grim sound once more! Founded in 1993, the metal veterans have spent nearly 30 years making their mark on the Viking metal genre with eight studio albums and two EPs. This year, the band even reached another benchmark, earning a nomination for a Spellemann Award – the most important music prize in their home country of Norway!

Norse And Dangerous (Live... From The Land Of Legends) sets off with great opener “West Coast Groove” from their most recent studio album, North Star (2021). Next, “The Spirit Of A Thousand Years” showcases EINHERJER’s technical songwriting sophistication with the finest guitar solos, while “The Blood & The Iron” offers bursting, intense energy and “Kill The Flame” lures with its characteristic riffage. But the band doesn’t stop with more recent songs! After visiting several other favorites, the band soon returns to days of yore with tracks like “Dragons Of The North” and “Ballad Of The Swords” from their 1996 debut full-length Dragons Of The North, before closing with turn-of-the-century banger “Ironbound” and classic tune “Far Far North”. The live contrast between their formative hits and more recent orchestrations clearly proves that the band has remained true to themselves throughout the decades, continually delivering an authentic sound.
