Album: Shaman
Country: Ukraine
Genre: Death Metal
Label: Archivist Records
Release date: May 17th, 2024
"This album had to be released two years ago, but a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by russia has put our entire life on hold. Nowadays, due to our Armed Forces, we try to go on living and creating. I am sure that the spirit of this struggle was reflected in this work. It is hidden somewhere among the strings of the guitars, in the echoes of shamanic tribal vocals and flashes of ritual fires." - says the band
Musically HELL:ON continuing the same line as the previous. Same Atmospheric death metal with tribal and oriental elements. Just more tribal percussions, throat singing and acoustic instruments this time.
Album tracklisting:
1) What Steppes Dream About
2) When The Wild Wind and The Soul of Fire Meet
3) Tearing Winds of Innerself
4) Preparation for the Ritual
5) He with the Horse’s Head
6) A New Dawn
7) I Am the Path
8) Shaman
Hell:on was formed in early 2005 in Zaporizhzhia, Eastern Ukraine. Hell:on plays death metal with oriental and tribal elements. The band's lyrics generally deal with mysticism, philosophy, and anti-religion. During the recordings of previous albums, the band has worked with Andreas Kisser, Jeff Waters, Andy LaRocque, and Marek Pajak.
In 2019, the band was nominated as the Best Ukrainian Metal Act and has shared the stage with Rotting Christ, Kreator, Marduk, Napalm Death, etc.

WAIDELOTTE is a new Extreme Metal band from Ukraine combining Black Metal, melodic Death Metal and Progressive Metal with traditional Folk singing and instrumentation. The project gathers individuals with diverse musical backgrounds, including members of SOEN, WHITE WARD, NAONI ORCHESTRA, ТІНЬ СОНЦЯ and SOLAR KOLLAPSE amongst others.
Impassioned and addictive debut album "Celestial Shrine" balances violent riffing, driving rhythms, fluid basslines and raging vocals with a poignant sense of melancholy via plaintive, exultant rural harmonies and the use of native instruments including the duduk, bandura, tsymbaly and hurdy-gurdy.
Thematically the record depicts one individual's journey through despair, death and ultimately rebirth. The central character, disillusioned by the relentless disappointments of life and the disarray of the world around, becomes a vessel for the album's exploration of tension, transformation and catharsis.
Main composer/bassist Oleksii "Zlatoyar" Kobel comments:
"WAIDELOTTE tells the story of reaching light by walking through darkness. You will need to pass inner hell with all its darkest corners. There is nothing more intense and destructive than the struggle that takes place in one's mind and pushes one to self-demise, the soul-eater that breeds despair."

"Despondency Chord Progressions", the aptly-titled and movingly dynamic third album from SELBST, finds the Latin American Black Metal band deepening, clarifying and confidently channelling the dark waters of their already elaborate sound.
Following the bludgeoning restlessness of DMP debut, 2020's "Relatos De Angustia", the band here steps forward with a fully-fledged sense of purpose - balancing introspection and anger via beautifully flowing arrangements brimming with impassioned melodies.
SELBST still rain down tumultuous hammer blows - their trademark 'dissonant' Black Metal intensity remains - but these now share equal space with elevated songwriting, assured vocal work, richly intricate musicality and mellifluous leads of the highest quality, glued together by a pristine drum performance from Jonathan Heredia (AVERSIO HUMANITATIS, ETERNAL STORM).
In the words of sole-composer/multi-instrumentalist/vocalist 'N':
"This album represents a personal journey in which I have allowed myself to explore more open musical textures, hence the importance of the title itself. Lyrically, I have created manifestos of self-contempt and reflection that flowed through this solitary journey towards the edges of loneliness, attesting to how insignificant and futile we are in the face of the blind and indifferent nature that surrounds us, of which we will ultimately become a part at the end of our insignificant passage through this world, when it finally consumes us..."

PRESS RELEASE:
ETERNAL DEATH RECORDS is proud to present a brand-new EP from BLACK SORCERY on cassette tape format.
Release date: May 24, 2024
BLACK SORCERY
“Plummeting into the Hour of the Wolf” EP
Forged out of the cursed landscape of Rhode Island, American black metal quartet BLACK SORCERY brings forth a new EP release entitled “Plummeting Into The Hour of The Wolf” in digital and limited cassette (100 copies) formats on ETERNAL DEATH RECORDS. Cold and foreboding, caustic, frenzied, and bound by somber introspection and destructive impulse, this latest work is a testament to the raw spirit of traditional black metal and remains devoted to the obscured paths of the genre's unspoiled past. The three tracks are marked by themes of desperation, solitude, perversion, moral decay, and the loss of self in the suffocating darkness of existence – an unforgiving internal labyrinth of shattered mirrors where illumination is obtained through the talisman of suffering and pleasure realized in the ecstasy of willful damnation.
Recorded and mixed by Distorted Forest Studio (North Smithfield, RI).
Mastered by Enormous Door Mastering (Austin, TX).
Artwork by Derek Setzer & Maegan LeMay.

PRESS RELEASE:
MISANTHROPHI, the melodic death metal trio from Mexico have released their album Cosmicism and Decimation on CD via Mexican Steel Records. The album was previously a digital-only release.
Order here: https://misanthrophi.bandcamp.com/album/principles-of-cosmicism-and-decimation
Biting guitars, catchy riffs and guttural harsh lie in wait within Principles of Cosmicism and Decimation. The intriguing "Chaospiracy" explores the conspiracy of chaos - dark matter explains the universe yet we know we don't understand anything about it. Musically this track unleashes an array of styles and moods from thundering rhythms to intricate melodic offerings, aptly chaotic in its nature. "Born Corrupted" manifests an eerie tone, opening with an enveloping assemble of fast-paced technical riffs twisting, winding and entwining around each other. There's a sense of urgency and anguish presented through these intense instrumental arrangements.
Exploring our insignificance in the grand scheme of things, "Beyond Our Insignificance" brings a progressive and rhythmic offering to the album. MISANTHROPHI's technical bass lines and fierce vocals inject power while busy runs and melodies produce a distinctive effect. Further cosmic exploration is to be found in "Emptystemology". While most of the universe was previously thought to be 'vacuum', it's now considered dark matter. It's. Not. Empty. Thrashing heavy, high-octane metal contrasts with clean guitar leads, jazzy-leaning rhythms and bass before returning to melodic metal realms. It's a ferocious voyage into the universe beyond.
About MISANTHROPHI:
MISANTHROPHI gets their sound from the '90s Swedish Death Metal scene with a dash of Mexican experimentation while also encompassing Neo-Classical passages. MISANTHROPHI was formed in Mexicali, Mexico in February 2014. The name of the band incorporates 'phi' as a concept for aesthetics but merged with the word 'misanthrope' creates the meaning: "the beauty in contempt of humanity" or "the disillusionment with mankind due to its lack of harmony". It was also inspired by the song "Misanthrope" by DEATH and the band's STEM academic background.
MISANTHROPHI is:
Antonio Ortiz - Guitars, Bass, Backing Vocals
Carlos Salgado - Drums, Backing Vocals
Sharlee Aviles - Lead Vocals
