Metal Injection comments:

"The new Demon King single, "Tyrannical Reign of the Deceiver", is an impressive blend of technical and melodic death metal. Fusing some more catchy and easier to understand riffs with some absolutely shredding solos. It all makes sense how this three-piece can be such a master of their arts when you start to look at who's in the band though."

SENNIGHT RELEASE NEW SINGLE "ARISE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Atlanta's Sennight is dropping a new single “Arise” off their upcoming 2021 album “New Takes The Old”.

Sennight drives forth with their heavy, melancholic brand of melodic metal that can quickly be felt by the listener who is washed over with pronounced energy. It commands attention and is not a sound that is easily forgotten. Compared to their first demos, which were more of an alternative metal sound, their music has gotten faster and more energetic since then.

Lyrical content from Sennight is largely inspired by various European mythologies and epic stories: people striving and persevering against terrible odds and having otherworldly experiences. The single “Arise” is heavy rock infused with extreme metal rhythms along with a guest solo by Ron Dalton Jr. (Your Chance to Die, Final Curse, the band explains the track in their own words:

“Arise takes influence from a few different heavy music genres including heavy and extreme metal. Lyrically the song talks about breaking free of any inhibitions and fears in order to have a full life experience. 'Arise, untied, the iron pulled apart.'”

Hopeful and confident, the forthcoming album “New Takes The Old” will be comprised of ten songs with a variety of colors, sometimes energetic and penetrating, other times somber and plodding. The album was recorded over several sessions at Jam Room Studio in Columbia, SC, and a few parts were done remotely at guitarist Trevor Norris’ home studio. Brian Kingsland (Nile, Imperishable) and Alex Parra (Paladin, Sadistic Ritual) also recorded their guest solos remotely.

Ever ambitious, Sennight has more plans for releases after this upcoming 2021 album drop.

Recommended for fans of Katatonia, Opeth, and Kamelot, “Arise” can be heard via its premiere on MetalInsider HERE.

Sennight's previous single “Tearing Free”, can also be heard on Bandcamp, Spotify. Apple Music.

TOUGH PAGAN MUSIC FOR TOUGH FUCKING PAGANS

CULT OF LUNA LAUNCHES SINGLE "THREE BRIDGES" FROM NEW EP "THE RAGING RIVER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

On February 5th, Cult of Luna will release a new EP, entitled The Raging River, via Red Creek (red-crk.com) - the band's newly created record label, which will be physically distributed by Metal Blade Records (in North America) and Season of Mist (in Europe). For a first preview of The Raging River, the new single "Three Bridges" can be heard now at: youtu.be/wgN3OV6XtTY

Pre-order The Raging River at: metalblade.com/cultofluna (North American ltd edition pre-order; vinyl & CD) and red-crk.com (limited editions, band merch & more). See below for available formats:

- digipak-CD

- transparent red w/ gold splatter vinyl

*First pressing SOLD-OUT; 2nd pressing available via Red Creek

The Raging River is a seamless continuation of the writing process and the creative mindset that has guided Cult of Luna for the last couple of years. "'The Raging River' feels more like a bridge. A midpoint that needs to be crossed so we can finish what we started with 2019's 'A Dawn to Fear,'" the band adds. "It's been an interesting, as well as an introspective, way of working, having our instinct leading the way and then having to figure out where it takes us. But not only has it been a linear journey; some aspects of it are also clearly circular. For example, we have been a fan of Mark Lanegan for many years. So in 2005, when we wrote the song 'And With Her Came the Birds', we had his voice in mind, and the working title was 'The Lanegan Song'. But we were not many years over 20, and our lack of self-confidence prevented us from even daring to ask. It took fifteen years for us to get the guts to ask him. Hearing his voice on 'Inside Of A Dream' is nothing more than feeling that we're inside of a dream."

1. Three Bridges

ANCIENT THRONES RELEASE GUITAR PLAYTHROUGH FOR "DIVIDED / DISSOLVE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

This past November, Halifax, Canada’s Ancient Thrones unleashed their concept album “The Veil”. The full length is 57-minute descent into the afterlife telling the story of grief that people can relate to through dark and progressive blackened death.

Ancient Thrones explains:

“The record is a concept record so it’s meant to be listened to in its entirety to get the full experience of the story. Even the songs were written and laid out in a way that they seamlessly transition into each other. Almost as if it was just one long piece of music broken up into separate parts as tracks. We want people to headbang and mosh, but we also want to bring people on a journey through this world of purgatory and grief and understand each phase of grief the record represents through the 10 tracks.”

Today, in support of "The Veil", guitarists Dylan Wallace and Nick Leslieare sharing their playthrough for the track "Divided/Dissolve", which is a mix of blazing-fast melodic riffs and crushingly heavy breakdowns keeping this nine-minute behemoth fresh the whole way through. The song takes no prisoners and tolerates no sympathy in its entirety, beckoning you to question your own sorrow and resistance to fulfillment.

To view "Divided/Dissolve" guitar playthrough, please visit GearGods for its premiere HERE.

Track Listing:

1. Transient (1:58)

2. The Sight of Oblivion (6:00)

3. The Millionth Grave (5:53)

4. The Soul to Flesh (6:14)

5. Viduus (The Veil) (9:29)

6. Sentient (2:11)

7. The River of Rain (4:32)

8. Divided/Dissolve (9:12)

9. The Infinite Eyes (9:10)

BYRON (EX HORNA, CHURCH OF VOID AND BATTLELORE MEMBERS) SIGNS WITH THE GOATMANCER RECORDS + NEW ALBUM

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Former members of CHURCH OF VOID, HORNA and BATTLELORE give life to BYRON, signing with THE GOATMANCER RECORDS

Soon after the Finnish heavy doom band Church Of Void ceased to exist in 2017, drummer Johannes Lahti, aka Byron V, started planning the release of few songs he had made during the years and were buried in the drawer.

He had just joined the band Neon Angel and finished recording drums to their debut album "Neon Light District" (Sliptrick Records 2020) when he felt the time was right to get his songs to be heard. Enlightened by the realization of the few songs finally being pushed out, Johannes started composing more material in late 2019 and what started out as a studio project EP, first became two EPs and finally formed as a full-length album. A band called Byron was born.

The band, finally reaching its form in late 2020, prepares for the release of their debut album via Goatmancer Records and eagerly waits to play the songs live.

Byron is a melodic heavy metal band from Finland. Founded 2019 as a one-man studio project, now standing as a full-grown band, Byron mixes it´s eclectic sound with influences from various genres, such as occult rock and stoner/doom, topping it with themes and imagery of the arcane and the occult.

Participants at “The Omega Evangelion” - sessions were:

Johanna Eteläkari, Christoffer Frylmark: Vocals

Jaakko Puusaari, Jyri Vahvanen: Guitars

Johannes Lahti: Bass, guitar, drums, piano

+ Magus Corvus: Guest vocals

Byron's debut album, "The Omega Evangelion" represents the birth of the band with tracks from different eras, bound together by a thematical line of endings and loss in various aspects, topped with Lovecraftian imagery. It is an eclectic serving of melodic heavy metal, moving from NWOBHM to occult rock and deeper into the gloomy depths of darker metal and back to stoner and doom, offering a sensation of beautifulness in decay, a beginning in every end. An evangelion of rebirth; of Alpha in Omega.

Johannes aka Byron V. says: “I'm extremely happy and excited with the collaboration of Byron and Goatmancer Records. To finally be able to release the debut album through a trustworthy and respectful label elevates this band again into a new level and into the reach of wider audience it deserves. Working this together with professionals like Gero from Argonauta (caring all marketing and distribution) and Oleksander from Grand Sounds, I cannot expect more than quality service and dedication in pushing the band and its career onwards. Releasing “The Omega Evangelion” and hopefully get to play the songs live is a perfect start for the new year.”

The band released previously this year a first single from the album:

”THE OMEGA EVANGELION” is scheduled for an early 2021 release, more details soon!
