FARSOTH was founded in Sala (Sweden) by Jari Kuusisto in 2020. Shortly thereafter Joakim Mikiver vocals, Jonas Magnusson bass, and Kristofer Elemyr guitar were contacted to join the band. The search for the right drummer turned out to be a more difficult task than expected. Several months later the place was still not filled so Jari decided to contact his good friend Chris Barkensjö (Lik) to help with the drum recording for the album. All said and done, FARSOTH had 9 songs recorded but still no permanent drummer.

In early 2021 William Parkstam was recruited as the band's permanent drummer. FARSOTH rehearsed for the first time as a full band in Williams' hometown of Uppsala. Since then, they have released several videos, along with their debut album, The Plague, on all major streaming platforms.

Shortly after the album's release in late 2022, William decided to leave the band due to other obligations, and Kristofer sadly passed away. William was quickly replaced by Florian Rehn on drums and in early 2023 Johnny Nymark joined the band as their new guitarist. At the beginning of 2023, Swedish record label Black Lion Records reached out to FARSOTH offering the band a record deal. So with a fresh record deal and more than 14 new songs, FARSOTH is looking forward to seeing what 2023 will bring.

FARSOTH is:

Jari Kuusisto - Guitar

Joakim Mikiver - Vocals

Jonas Magnusson - Bass

Florian Rehn - Drums

Johnny Nymark - Guitar

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: November 3, 2023

FFO: Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Deeds of Flesh

VULNIFICUS was formed in October 2021 with the idea of bringing death metal back to its early sounding roots.

VULNIFICUS pushed death metal back to its extreme limits with their debut "INNOMINATION", released November 26, 2021. Drawing comparisons to old Cannibal Corpse, Condemned, Defeated Sanity, Mortician and others, VULNIFICUS signed a deal with New Standard Elite and shortly released their debut single "Induced Rampage".

VULNIFICUS began to record the follow up to their debut EP in December 2021, titled "INVOCATION". "INVOCATION" which released June 10, 2022 to an overwhelming response from fans and put the brutal death community on notice with the release of their singles "Coerced Into Compliance" and "The Incredulous Invocation"

Unfortunately, the first tour in the band's history could not be completed as Wilson decided to leave the band. Shortly after, left as the sole member of VULNIFICUS, Eston recruits Jamison Parker (Prophecy of Suffering), Mike Jones on bass and Evan Daniele (Dead and Dripping) on guitar. Together with the completed lineup, VULNIFICUS prepares to debut this group for their next offering on New Standard Elite.

Montecristo

Great Master, a power metal band hailing from Italy, presents their latest work, "Montecristo," released on the 21st of September, 2023. Published under the label Underground Symphony, the album is available in both digital and CD formats, offering fans a diverse listening experience.

With "Montecristo," the band ventures into new thematic territory. Leaving behind the pirate-centric narratives of their past works, they draw inspiration from Alexandre Dumas' literary classic, "The Count of Montecristo." The album narrates the tale of Edmond Dantès, exploring his life’s chapters and delving into themes of revenge, deceit, self-discovery, and transformation. Each track of the album is a reflection of the different phases of Dantès' journey, from his early days on Le Pharaon to his eventual quest for vengeance under the guise of the Count of Montecristo.

This musical endeavor showcases the band's ability to adapt and draw inspiration from varied sources, intertwining literature and music. Mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at “Domination Studios” and featuring artwork by Jahn Vision Art, "Montecristo" is a humble yet earnest tribute to one of the significant works of 19th-century European literature. For those who have an affinity for power metal and an appreciation for literary narratives, Great Master’s "Montecristo" might just be a harmonious convergence of both worlds.

NOCTOMB RELEASE "NOCTOMB"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Noctomb

Noctomb

22 September 2023

NOCTOMB, the three-piece ensemble emerging from Raleigh, NC, take a genre-bending approach to their song-writing. They merge black metal with diverse influences, and the result wanders seamlessly between harsh aggression and haunting introspection. NOCTOMB's upcoming self-titled album will be released on September 22, 2023.

Noctomb delivers an immersive venture into fuzz driven riffs and raging percussion through their all-consuming tracks. "Born of Cinder" strikes a dynamic balance of enveloping melodic progressions in the verses and sheer aggressive chaos in the heightened, high speed choruses. "Kali Yuga" unleashes a wave of rapid riffs before the pace slows to greet the banshee like vocals. Bursts of breakneck instrumental sections contrast with bass led doomy notes that descend into the depths below. An eerie mood escapes from "Tongues of Madness" as it dives into a powerful and brutal display. Noctomb is a delight for the senses for those seeking the addictive thrill of the devastatingly heavy. 

About NOCTUMB:

NOCTOMB is a trio of three left handed misanthropes who picked up their right handed instruments and began their journey down the left hand path. Their very first song together was the title track of their 2014 debut record, Obulus for Charon. Using that song as a touchstone for their sound, NOCTOMB has cultivated a uniquely outsider approach to the more extreme genres. Their blackened sludge sound steps into pockets of light, the deep abyss of apathy, and pushes the sonic limits of a trio into new territory. Since releasing Obulus for Charon, the band have toured the Southeast and become a local staple opening for touring acts. After hunkering down for a while to write and record, the band is back in full-force, gearing up to hit the road once more in support of their upcoming self-titled record.

About the Album

Venomous Echoes present us with a discordant, unhinged offering of cosmic horror that listeners will find as stimulating as they do unsettling.  Fans of Mayhem's Esoteric Warfare and later career Marduk will find plenty to love here and yet so will fans of atmospheric dissonant death metal acts such as Ulcerate or Portal. In between all of this you'll find subtle progressive and at times even jazzy influences woven into the brutality of the release. There's an amazing balance struck between technicality, atmosphere and dissonance that rounds the album out perfectly. Overall this is an album that feels both familiar and yet completely alien and otherworldly, with its madness being its greatest asset.

CULT BURIAL RELEASE "REVERIE OF THE MALIGNANT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Cult Burial

Reverie Of The Malignant

Self-Released

20 October 2023

Blackened death-doom outfit CULT BURIAL are preparing to unveil their haunting new album Reverie Of The Malignant on October 20th, 2023. Journey into eerie realms from the impressive opener "Umbra", travelling through dark delights, and finally concluding with the thrilling "Oblivion". 

"We summoned Reverie of the Malignant from the depths of our collective souls, an incantation forged in the fires of artistic madness. This album is a communion of relentless aggression and ethereal melodies, weaving a tapestry of sinister beauty. With each meticulously crafted note and guttural roar, we embrace the primal essence of our music, unleashing a torrent of catharsis upon the world. Reverie of the Malignant is our testament to the unyielding power of darkness, an invitation to delve into the depths of our shared humanity. May it ignite the flames of rebellion within, inspiring listeners to embrace their own shadows and find solace in the symphony of chaos."

About CULT BURIAL: 

CULT BURIAL is a blackened death-doom band from London. Having formed in early 2020 the project rapidly developed, with the collective starting from scratch and finishing an EP and an album within four months. The result was a punishingly heavy record that sought to draw some of the darkest elements from the textures and atmospheres of less heavy music. This desire for crushing sounds has driven CULT BURIAL to the next level, setting them distinctly apart from many of their contemporaries. 

The EP Oblivion followed in late 2021, pushing their blackened death metal sound forward in new directions. Metal Injection described the EP simply as “Three tracks, no survivors”. Other critics suggested that the EP signals “a musical future without boundaries”.     

Despite their growing success, CULT BURIAL remains a DIY project, fueled by a desire to explore the depths of the human experience through the tormented magic of the baritone guitar. Their ambition, power, and unique sound make them a force to be reckoned with in the underground metal scene. As the band prepares to release their second LP, they continue to conjure new madness and await their next opportunity to strike. CULT BURIAL is a band to watch, and their music is not to be missed.

ALASTETH RELEASE "THE NIHILISM OF ALASTETH"

Format: Digital, CD

Genre: Pure Nihilistic Black Metal

Country: Germany

Line-up:

Alastor - Vocals & Lyrics

Beleth - Instruments

1.The Return (Of The Ancient Gods)

Bonus Tracks (CD Version):

7. Durch den tiefen Wald (Alasteth's Zarathustra Remake)

8. …Still Wandering

From the shadowed realms of Germany's storied Black Metal scene emerges a new sonic entity, a fusion of experience, artistry, and nihilistic fervor. Introducing "Alasteth" – the brainchild of seasoned metallers Alastor and Beleth.

With a legacy dating back to the mid-1990s, Alastor, the foundational voice behind "Zarathustra", and Beleth, the creative force of "Cerberus", have united to distill their collective decades of musical craftsmanship into a singular vision. This collaboration is no coincidence. Having shared a bond for over 30 years, their intertwined paths in both music and life culminated in the autumn of 2022. From introspective exchanges and musical interludes, "Alasteth" was conceived, symbolizing not just a band but an embodiment of their shared philosophy and musical ethos.

Their debut album, "The Nihilism of Alasteth", serves as a beacon to those traversing the bleak terrains of Black Metal. It is a journey through the abyss of human existence, brought to life through scorching tracks like "The Return (Of The Ancient Gods)" and the eponymous "The Nihilism of Alasteth". Drawing from their rich past, the duo breathes new life into the genre, with nods to their influences while pushing the boundaries with their fresh take.

This release does not merely represent songs; it narrates tales of hate, of awakening, of a world teetering on the edge of despair. The intensity is further amplified by the raw and varied vocal expositions by Alastor, enriched by Beleth's masterful instrumentation.

This offering is more than just music – it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the continual battle between light and shadow, and the undeniable allure of the abyss. Dive into a world shaped by two titans of German Black Metal and emerge transformed by "The Nihilism of Alasteth". For those whose souls resonate with the likes of Darkthrone, Satyricon, and Taake, this is an invitation to an auditory experience you won't soon forget.
