CRYPT SERMON RELEASE "THE STYGIAN ROSE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Stygian Rose

by Crypt Sermon

Label: Dark Descent Records

Tracklist:

1.Glimmers in the Underworld

2.Thunder (Perfect Mind)

3.Down in the Hollow

4.Heavy is the Crown of Bone 05:08

5.Scrying Orb

6.The Stygian Rose

Dark heavy metallers Crypt Sermon unveil their bewitching new album, The Stygian Rose, under the Dark Descent banner. Featuring guitarist Steve Jansson (Daeva, Unrest), vocalist Brooks Wilson (Unrest), drummer Enrique Sagarnaga (Daeva, The Silver), guitarist Frank Chin (Daeva), bassist Matt Knox (Horrendous, The Silver), and keyboardist Tanner Anderson (Obsequiae, Majesties), the Philadelphia-based sextet parlayed their time away from the spotlight into a grander, more mysterious Crypt Sermon. The interflow of doom and heavy metals underpins The Stygian Rose, but these boundaries are effortlessly transcended. From the blistering solo salvo of "Glimmers in the Underworld" and the commanding rhythm of "Heavy is the Crown of Bone" to the evocative Near Eastern vibes of "Thunder (Perfect Mind)" and the intricate, masterful journey of the 11-minute title track, The Stygian Rose epitomizes the band's burgeoning musical and conceptual prowess.

"We wanted The Stygian Rose to scratch a lot of itches that aren't being scratched," says guitarist Steve Jansson. "That's my goal when I make music. I want to make things that I don't hear other people doing or at least don't hear others doing all in one package. The music also has to have staying power and replay value. [I wanted] that addictive feeling you had when you listened to records as a teenager."

Crypt Sermon tracked The Stygian Rose with acclaimed producer Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Cirith Ungol) and engineer Aidan Elias (Blood Incantation, Wayfarer) at Redwoods in Philadelphia. Although Rizk handled Out of the Garden (2015) and The Ruins of Fading Light (2019), the team captured the band's multi-genre chaplet in a new light this time. Singles "Glimmers in the Underworld," "Heavy is the Crown of Bone," and "Thunder (Perfect Mind)" are frighteningly effective in their [Neil] Kernon-esque production. At the same time, deep album tracks "Scrying Orb," "Down in the Hollow," and "The Stygian Rose" cast long, mysterious shadows. Rizk summoned from Crypt Sermon the same big-stage sound producers Dave Jerden and Rick Rubin coaxed out of Alice In Chains and Trouble, respectively.

"We knew we wanted an aggressive sound," singer Brooks Wilson says. "Like [Metallica's] Black album or [Queensrÿche's] Operation: Mindcrime with loud smashing rock drums. The guitars had to be aggressive and loud. The bass had to be tuned in more than on our previous albums. The bass had to be clean and deep. We were generally after a more clean, distinct, and audible production. The Stygian Rose has way more depth than anything we've done before."

Adorned with captivating artwork and featuring an enchanting (yet dark) lyrical concept by Wilson, this is Crypt Sermon’s level-up moment. Dive into The Stygian Rose and experience its rich rewards.

BLACK LAVA RELEASE "THE SAVAGE WINDS TO WISDOM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Savage Winds To Wisdom

by BLACK LAVA

Tracklist:

1.Colour Of Death

2.Dark Legacy

3.Wrapped In Filth

4.Unsheathing Nightmares

5.Summoning Shadows

6.Ironclad Sarcophagus 04:08

7.Pagan Dust

8.Sanguis Lupus

9.The Savage Winds To Wisdom

Two years after their smoldering debut, Black Lava come roaring back on 'The Savage Winds to Wisdom'. The Aussie’s second album erupts from the same crusted cauldron of influences. Blackened countermelodies and a hex of heavy, proggy rhythms boil amidst old-school death metal, spilling over into medieval fantasies. Carved from a slithering groove and one bone-crushing riff, “Ironclad Sarcophagus” raises an ancient wizard from the crypt.

The peculiar alchemy of Black Lava pools together with the ease and fury of a mythic flood. Dan Presland also drums alongside guitarist Ben Boyle in Vipassi and Presland’s old Ne Obliviscaris bandmate Benjamin Baret pops in for an eerily screeching solo on the title track. But the band took their time in building the cavernous world that lies within ‘The Savage Winds to Wisdom’. It’s not until the opening track has bubbled to a nice and sludgy head that Rob Watkins unleashes the first of many blood-soaked roars. “Speak to me O silent one”, he beckons amidst thunderous, rain-soaked ambience.

On ‘The Savage Winds to Wisdom’, Black Lava summon a perfect storm of technical blackened death metal.

HECATONCHEIR RELEASE "NIGHTMARE UTOPIA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Nightmare Utopia

by Hecatoncheir

Tracklist:

1.Dreamless 05:16

2.Nightmare Utopia (I: The Falsebound Kingdom) 01:27

3.Nightmare Utopia (II: Him in the Gulf) 04:45

4.Sefirot of Understanding 05:15

5.The Crowning Horror 03:45

6.Madness of the Stars 04:36

7.The Watcher, The Witness 06:37

"Few things are more exciting to us than unveiling a brand new, entirely unknown band to the elusive world of dissonant extreme Metal.

Kvadrat, Choir or Beyond the Grasp of Light are just some examples of extremely strong debuts that we weren't only honored to be a part of, but which also left a lasting impression on the underground.

Add Hecatoncheir and their debut 'Nightmare Utopia' to that list, because they'll undoubtedly make their mark with their immensely contemporary take on dissonant Death and Black Metal.

The project from Slovakia is a mid tempo juggernaut with an often ominous, entrancing atmosphere. But when you least expect it, a ripper like 'The Crowning Horror' will pull you out of that trance and throw you headfirst into the nightmares Hecatoncheir are summoning on this album.

For fans of: Cosmovore, Owl, Nightmarer"

10.From Civilized to Sadistic

HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present the highly anticipated eighth album of America's CARDIAC ARREST, The Stench of Eternity, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Formed in 1997, Chicago's CARDIAC ARREST have become something of an underground institution with their unapologetically horror-inspired death metal. Never catering to the trends, CARDIAC ARREST have remained a force to be reckoned with and show no signs of compromise. With numerous releases, festival appearances, tours in the US, Canada, and Europe, and respect of peers and fans alike, CARDIAC ARREST proudly carries the flag of true DEATH METAL.

Newly allied with HELLS HEADBANGERS, CARDIAC ARREST saw the reissue of their second album (and favorite), 2008's Cadaverous Presence, on vinyl for the first time ever during the summer of 2023. Continuing this blood pact is the long-awaited release of The Stench of Eternity, their eighth album overall. CARDIAC ARREST's preceding album, The Day That Death Prevailed, was released during the cursed year of 2020, and the following years were even more difficult for the band. Nevertheless, all that darkness and bitterness positively spill over on the ever-aptly-titled The Stench of Eternity. Sticking to their guns but firing 'em uglier and nastier than ever, CARDIAC ARREST kick into their characteristic sound with sickly aplomb: gallop, blast, mix 'em up, and repeat as necessary until the listener is either possessed or decimated! A no-nonsense approach to be sure, but to do it this convincingly - and, after all these years, without rehashing the same ideas - is a skill elusive to most. Couple that with CARDIAC ARREST's catchiest and most varied songwriting to date, as well as a production that manages to be both crystal-clear and exceptionally dirty simultaneously, and The Stench of Eternity becomes essential huffing for the sickest fucks. Timeless and trend-free, for over 25 years now: ONLY DEATH METAL IS REAL!
