Swedish Death’n’Rollers LEACH have unleashed their latest musical statement with the release of their new video single, "All Rise." Fueled by a sense of anger and frustration towards the escalating conflict in Ukraine and the broader specter of war, the band's impassioned anthem serves as a rallying cry against the forces of injustice and inhumanity.

However, this isn't merely a historical reflection; it's a direct response to the ongoing crisis gripping Europe. Through blistering riffs and searing lyrics, LEACH confronts the brutality of war while simultaneously honoring the resilience of those defending against it.

The band remarked, "With 'All Rise,' we wanted to channel our frustration and rage into something tangible, something that speaks to the heart of the ongoing conflict. It's a tribute to the Ukrainian defenders and a condemnation of those perpetuating senseless violence."

"All Rise" serves as the second single from LEACH's highly anticipated fourth album, "New Model Of Disbelief," set for release digitally and on CD and LP formats on April 19, 2024. Produced by renowned engineer Christian Silver at Studiomega (known for his work with Sepultura, Kreator, and Soilwork), the album promises to be a potent blend of ferocity and melody.

SUPREME CONCEPTION RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "THE POST-HUMANIST DELUSION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: 20 October 2023

FFO: INFERI, ARCHSPIRE, FIRST FRAGMENT

Location: Prague, Czech Republic

SUPREME CONCEPTION Unleashes Epic Technical Death Metal with New Single "The Post-Humanist Delusion"

Prepare to be blown away as Supreme Conception, the Prague-based purveyors of technical death metal, unleash their latest sonic masterpiece upon the world. On October 20, 2023, the band released their epic single, "The Post-Humanist Delusion," marking a significant milestone in their musical journey.

Originally conceived in 2006 as a one-time collaboration project, Supreme Conception quickly garnered attention for their own blend of technical brutal death metal, drawing influences from early pioneers such as Decrepit Birth, Suffocation, and Hate Eternal. After the release of the "Liturgy Of Spiritual Disturbance" EP in 2009, the members pursued other musical ventures, notably in the acclaimed band Heaving Earth.

In 2019, the vocalist Michal Kusak and a new guitarist Martin Meyer (Heaving Earth) revived Supreme Conception as a regular band, enlisting the formidable talent of Aaron Stechauner (Interloper, ex Rings of Saturn) on drums to craft new material and embark on a new chapter. The change in lineup ushered in a shift from brutal death metal to a more contemporary version of technical death metal.

Their 2021 EP release, "Empires Of The Mind," marked their triumphant return to the scene, setting the stage for their latest offering, "The Post-Humanist Delusion." Clocking in at almost 12 minutes, this epic single showcases Supreme Conception's evolution and innovation within the genre. Infused with orchestral arrangements and propelled by the technical prowess of an expanded lineup, including bass wizard Tomas Ledvina ( Heaving Earth ) and (studio/session) drumming from Eugene Ryabchenko ( Fleshgod Apocalypse ), "The Post-Humanist Delusion" represents a significant step forward for the band on multiple levels.

With this new standalone single, Supreme Conception sets the stage for their highly anticipated debut full-length release, currently in the works. Fans of bands like Inferi, Archspire, and First Fragment are in for a treat with "The Post-Humanist Delusion," a monumental offering that solidifies Supreme Conception's place at the forefront of the technical death metal scene.

OCEAN OF ANOTHER RELEASE "ONE DAY THIS PAIN WILL SUBSIDE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

ARTIST: Ocean Of Another

EP: One Day This Pain Will Subside

EP RELEASE DATE: March 4th 2024

Ocean Of Another is Croatian modern metal/metalcore band founded in early 2022. 

The band deals with the harsh realities of being human, focusing mainly on mental health, addiction, and inner struggles. Through their songs Ocean Of Another aims to offer a helping hand and a place to connect and heal, as reflected in their tagline ‘’ Become a drop in the Ocean Of Another’’. Only by sharing our experiences, fears and pains can we begin to heal. 

Some members are also part of the Croatian most successful metal band Manntra and bands such as Pale Origins, Zenoth, Ochi and Grapevine Babies. All of them have previous experiences as recording artists with the mentioned bands and others such as Cold Snap and  Monox. 

One Day This Pain Will Subside takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery. Lyrically, the songs deal with pain, loneliness and trauma of human condition. The band opens up about their deepest wounds and hurts to connect with the audience, emphasizing that everyone feels pain and that, in that pain, no one is alone. 

Ultimately, the band aims to help people connect with and discover their true selves. 

In a world where capitalism has put a price on everything, including revolution, the band seeks to show that the final act of rebellion is the act of self-discovery. Knowing oneself prevents others from becoming one's master.

Musically, the EP resides in the modern metal/metalcore landscape, drawing inspiration from artists such as Bad Omens, Falling in Reverse, Motionless in White, Northlane, Bring Me The Horizon, and Linkin Park. All the music on this EP was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by the band, except for "Indigo," which was mastered by Joel Wanasek (Machine Head, Monuments, Blessthefall).

The band is actively involved in the creation of their music videos, handling the writing, production, direction, and filming with the assistance of talented friends like Mara Prpic, Dino Mozek,Vjekoslav Palinic and Damir Debanic. Every video is a DIY project under the complete creative control of the band.
