APOTHEUS RELEASE VIDEO FOR "STARING THE ABYSS"


PRESS RELEASE:

Portuguese melodic death metal titans Apotheus just released a new video for the track “Staring the Abyss”, taken from their latest full-length "The Far Star".


You can watch the video at this location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGqUI_pEcVE


“Staring the Abyss” is about despair and loss, but it also paves the way for a fallback plan in which everyone puts their hopes.

After such a dark terrible loss for everyone, the band has decided to bring you a glimpse of light. This video captures very well the joy and excitement of what happened at our first post-pandemic live show. It’s hard to put into words the feeling of rediscovering what truly drives them.

In essence, this is what “The Far Star” is about: a journey, with terrible losses and majestic wins, but above all, it’s about never giving up.

MAJESTICA RELEASE 2 TRACK LIVE SINGLE "ABOVE THE SKY IN TOKYO"



PRESS RELEASE:

In 2019, the Swedish power metal heroes MAJESTICA released their debut album "Above The Sky" and quickly followed it up with their Christmas musical album, “A Christmas Carol”, in late 2020. Both albums were a huge success in the metal community, but since touring became impossible during the COVID-19 pandemic, the band have found another way to give their fans an impression of their live power.

Today, MAJESTICA release their digital live single "Above The Sky In Tokyo", which was recorded at their last show in Tokyo before the pandemic hit. Featured are two very special songs: the sparkling title track of their first album, 'Above The Sky' and ’Welcome To The Theater’ from the REINXEED album of the same name.


Watch the video for "Above The Sky (Live in Tokyo)" here: https://youtu.be/lDlCFRa0DHI


The band comments on the release: ”We’re very happy to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of ’Above The Sky’, with our first MAJESTICA live release! It is also very exciting that this material is from our 2020 shows in Japan. We’ve always had a special relationship with Japan since our first release with REINXEED back in 2008, which is also one of the reasons that we have the REINXEED song ’Welcome To The Theater’ included as well.

’Above the Sky’ was written as a live song and we’re glad to now be able to show this to the whole world, when we can’t play it live.”

SEPULTURA RELEASE NEW SINGLE "MASK" FROM "SEPULQUARTA"



PRESS RELEASE:

While the pandemic paralyzed the entire world and prevented bands from touring, Latin America's biggest metal export SEPULTURA refused to sit back and act like an animal trapped in a cage. Like the flowers growing out of the deceased bird’s body depicted on the stunning colourful cover artwork by Eduardo Recife, the thrash metal pioneers from Belo Horizonte made good use of their unexpected free time to start a project that kept them busy throughout the entirety of 2020: Their new live album "SepulQuarta" will see the light of day on August 13th and the pre-order for this one-of-a-kind release featuring renowned guest musicians from all over the world is starting today.

„'SepulQuarta' was born at the very beginning of the pandemic when everything was halted”, guitarist Andreas Kisser remembers. “We had a new album out, but we couldn’t tour for it. Therefore, we created this recurring event where we could talk with our fans around the world, play our music and exchange ideas, it was a blast! »SepulQuarta« kept us alive and strong throughout one of the most difficult times in human history.”

Obviously, the Brazilian pioneers were not the only musicians feeling this way, so they started to connect with friends and colleagues worldwide and asked them to not only be part of their weekly podcast, but also join them in playing one of SEPULTURA’s classics tracks. From the safety of their homes, international stars like Devin Townsend, Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Danko Jones, Matt Heafy (TRIVIUM), and many more recorded a SEPULTURA track together with the band, which have now been mixed and mastered by Conrado Ruther for release on jewelcase CD, recycled 2LP vinyl in black and marbled (Nuclear Blast + bandshop exclusive) and all streaming platforms.

Today, the band unveils a spectacular performance of 'Mask' that they recorded together with prog master Devin Townsend. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/1gRHQ2nLKQ0

MR. MAGGOT RELEASE "BEFORE THE DAWN"



PRESS RELEASE:

Before the new Dawn is a suffering story of people who struggle to survive in these day’s digital world. 


Story:

When computers were born, all the gods died. Machines took control and no one was prepared. Flatline. No satisfaction, what has happened? Discussion boards and social media has given voice to the village fools and mentally insane. Has the world gone mad? Neighbor is suspicious, cats are suspicious, dogs are suspicious, corona virus is a conspiracy, everything is suspicious! Lock yourself in, close the blinds and become the red king! Moment of clearness, eyes are open. Enough with this craziness! This is it! Raise yourself just to crash down. To get sucked in to the abyss. Paralyzed and motionless. Welcome emptiness. Helping hand enters. Time to wake up. Time to relax and take back the control in the new dawn.

Artist description:

Kalmo (cadaver in English) is a one-man metal band from Finland. Kalmo’s music is raw and dark doom metal spiced with a fistful of black metal. Lyrics written in Finnish tell tales and visions about the inevitable end of this all. Kalmo feasts on influences from old school metal bands like Celtic Frost, Slayer, Death Breath, Black Sabbath, and Master. Debut EP Demoni was released May 2019.

Before the dawn of Kalmo loomed in the horizon of the damned sky, Mika was a bass player in a blues band, writing lyrics to the band’s songs. About a decade ago an introit was sung and the seed of Kalmo was laid. The first song was ready. Several years passed with a flame steadily smouldering, scorching the darkened heart to vision a plan for more.

After finding a true name in Kalmo (cadaver in English), ominous visions of the inescapable doom have been falling into place in the darkness. There is only one mind, one lost soul in the core of Kalmo. The axes of doom guitars and bass are played and the dark cries are bawled by this man. The beat of doom is conjured up with the black magic of state-of-the-art, technical drumslade witchery.

The Debut EP Demoni was unleashed May 10th 2019. Demoni summarizes and concludes an episode in the Kalmo chronicles. Some of the EP’s songs are from very early years and some have been written within two years before the release. With this release, as a demonic rite of passage, Kalmo is hungry for more. New dark verses are being written. New evil psalms are being silently chanted in the darkness. The sinews of the sinister are gaining power. The doom will be inevitable.

In addition to the EP Demoni, Kalmo has released some singles and music videos. The videos are available at Kalmo’s YouTube channel.

Kalmo feasts on influences from true old school metal masters like Celtic Frost, Slayer, Death Breath, Black Sabbath, and Master. To add some more to the list, which could almost be endless, at least the names of Triptykon, King Diamond, Gallhammer, Hellhammer, Vorum, and Immortal must be spoken aloud.

At the moment the axes of doom spark the flames in the dark while the growling voice echoes from the walls of the deep dungeons. A new chapter of the book is soon ready. New songs are to be released soon.

The black crystal ball whispers of the tales of far future where there may be a slight possibility to complete the line up with fellow exhumated cadavers. That vision is still covered in dark mist and 6 feet of dirt. Should that hallucination incarnate, there may also be possibility to see Kalmo live.

AN UNCTION IN BRAILLE TO RELEASE "OF THE DEAD" SINGLE

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In 2012, the epic journey into the “new” world of Metal began. Starting off as just a guitar player (Robert Meroski a.k.a. Rage), a vocalist (Josh Veck a.k.a.

Through more networking bassist (Wesley Welch a.k.a. Death Beard), and drummer (Jacob Lindquist a.k.a. DiCaprio) completed the line-up the same year to give the band the dynamically well-rounded and melodically ear-pleasing sound along with the extremely energetic shows that An Unction In Braille is known for. "The blessing of a dying person, that one must feel to understand." -An Unction iN Braille


"Of The Dead", The first single off of the "The Wordless Whisper" E.P. due out in 2021.
