MALEVOLENCE RE-RELEASE "ANTITHETICAL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Malevolence

Antithetical

Firecum Records

13 September 2021 | LP

Portuguese extreme metal act Malevolence have announced the long-awaited vinyl release of their 2013 album "Antithetical", due out in September via Firecum Records.

Reflecting on the past eight years since Malevolence released "Antithetical", it's amazing just how much has happened in the metal scene and how music has evolved in what we can consider being a short amount of time. Back in 2013, some of us had the opportunity to witness first-hand the great technical and human undertaking accomplished by the Portugal heavyweights. As the years progressed, and as we get the chance to relive it after years of being continually consumed by large amounts of audio greatness, "Antithetical" still manages to sound ahead of its time, as the band focused on mining the depths of death, doom, black and progressive metal while sliding into groovier territories to put together a brilliant concept.

To this day, no other Portuguese band managed to show such a level of imagination or the capacity to marry ominous atmospheres and crushing melodies with metal in such elegant harmony as Malevolence did. Make no mistake, this is a bold and pounding sonic mass capable of destroying any world-class altar, opening its way for an explosive second coming to blossom into a key progressive metal act.

From the solemn keyboard textures of Paulo Pereira to the powerful wall of sound created by the Hell-tinged riffing of Carlos Cariano and Fred Noel, together with an intense rhythm section operated by none other than Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth) and Moonspell's bassist Aires Pereira, and with the addition of the studio work from V. Santura (Triptykon, Obscura, Dark Fortress, Pestilence), "Antithetical" is a record to be worshipped!

MOON REAPER RELEASE "DESCENT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

MOON REAPER – DESCENT

LABEL: INDEPENDENT RELEASE

RELEASE DATE: JULY 30th 2021

Descending from the eternal darkness that lurks between the stars, that ineffable absence of light that seems to seethe with a hunger that could consume galaxies in the moment of silence between two heartbeats, from that blackness beyond night he comes – with the fate of a world in his cold, dry hands and the dust of countless species and civilisations found wanting, drifting in his wake. The echoes of their final screams hang in the air around him, anguish on the edge of hearing. Our day of reckoning is here.

As heavy as judgement and as expansive as the sky, Moon Reaper present their debut EP, Descent.  Blending elements of doom, post, progressive, black and sludge metal, drawing inspirations from across a vast spectrum and then weaving them together to create something remarkable and new – it’s difficult to believe that Descent is the work of an essentially new band. There is so much going on in each song on Descent, so many nuances and disparate elements and yet they all fit seamlessly into a streamlined structure. Take the mournful, lilting melodies of ‘Clockwork’ that combine with a spirit crushing power as the song builds and builds through deftly constructed layers; or the echoing sorrows of 'Godeater' that transform into something driving and momentous, a feat of force and control. Every musical element, from drums to vocals, to guitars and bass, possess formidable might and muscle but also a diversity of approach and dextrous touch. Descent is a staggering achievement that will captivate listeners and leave them hungry for the next chapter in the Moon Reaper story.

July 30th is the date decreed, when Descent will be loosed from its chains to bring its foundation shaking, heart-quaking power to the masses. Moon Reaper have created something to challenge any release you will hear this year, a piece of work that will leave an indelible impression on all who encounter its profound power. Prepare to be crushed!

Line-up:

Morgan Cradick – Vocals/Guitar

Aidan Rutter - Bass

Zack Esposito - Drums

Noah Burns - Guitar

Genre: Progressive Blackened Doom Metal

PSYCHOMANCY RELEASE "DIVINE ARCHETYPE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Psychomancy

Divine Archetype

Self-released

25 July 2021 | Digital, CD

Symphonic /Melodic Black /Death Metal from Colombia.

"Divine Archetype" is an album whose concept revolves around the idea of​​ God, creation, origin, and power. It is made up of 9 tracks, beginning with an instrumental song called "Eon" that goes back to the beginning of time, opens the door to the mystical sound of the album, the setting evokes an ancestral rite with a bit of darkness and glory. It is a song that translates very well the general sound concept of the album.

"My Faith", "Nation On Fire" and "Dead Tree" deal with the concept of the archetype of God, the mutations of the essence of him through the history of humanity and cultures, up to the present day. They talk a bit about the power that religion has over the world and dominion through fear. Musically, the choral and symphonic arrangements are decisive in these 3 songs.

Zenith and Vimana transport to the past, to another world where dimensionless beings created humanity and the stars of our system, inspired the idea of​​the creator God, concepts buried in time and that revive in these sound passages.

"Destiny" is a song that personifies the archetype of time, the possibility of traveling through alternate dimensions to the past like dreams. Its sound is typical of surrealism, it incorporates nuances of the East with emotional ceremonial songs.

At the end of the album, we have the songs “Exiled” and “The Hidden Key”. "Exile" is a song inspired by a "Levi Eliphas" fable called "The Nightingale's Exequias." Inspired in turn by that feeling of belonging to another world, of not being part of reality, that feeling that all human beings have ever experienced when looking at the stars. And finally, we have "The Hidden Key" song that opens the door to the archetype of darkness and the liberation of its demons, most likely the central theme of a future album for Psychomancy.

Line-up:

Fernando Luna (Voice, Keyboards) 

Lucas Fernandez (Guitars) 

Produced at IMA Estudios Medellín by Fernando Luna as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer.

BRACHMOND RELEASE "TEUFELSTANZ" SINGLE

PRESS RELEASE:

When seven friends from Munich (DE) — Stefanie (front vocals), Severin (e-guitar, acoustic guitar, flutes, backing vocals), Max Schmid (bass, backing vocals), Valentin Seipt (bagpipe), Marianne Lasota (violin), Michael Paintner (drums) und Christian Maier (e-guitar) — sat by the campfire at night on a medieval faire in 2014, forming a band was nothing but a spontaneous idea. As they didn’t lack creativity nor drive it turned into a lot more after a short period of time already and they made their own history: from medieval faires onto the great stage.

BRACHMOND combines medieval folk instrumentation and ancient german language lyrics with rock and metal elements creating an unforgettable, enthralling sound - a successful mix of Subway to Sally, Feuerschwanz and Eluveitie.

Their self-produced album „Ascheregen“ (2018) is now followed by the new single „Teufelstanz“ (release: 23rd July 2021) which was produced with Reinhard von Wegen (Vroudenspil, KAFFKIEZ, Koenix…). A song hiding a gloomy attraction, using various kinds of longings and fears to get us on its side. Knowing full well we approach darkness as some allurements can’t be defied.

„Das Lied durch deine Adern fließt

(The song running through your veins)

Wie Gift durch deinen Körper schießt

(Like poison speeding through your body)

Du spürst das Pochen in der Brust

(You can feel the knocking in your chest)

Wie Feuer lodert deine Lust“

(Your lust blazing like fire)

ARMORED SAINT RELEASE VIDEO FOR "LONE WOLF"

PRESS RELEASE:

Last October, Armored Saint released their eighth full-length, Punching The Sky, via Metal Blade Records. Today, the band has launched a new video for the album track, "Lone Wolf". Directed by Robert Graves // ashadowbeyond.com (who also produced the videos for Armored Saint's "End of the Attention Span" and "Missile to Gun"), "Lone Wolf" can be seen at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A9lUMi5Rks

Robert Graves comments: "With 'Lone Wolf', the band and I agreed right away that this was an opportunity to create a narrative driven video that would convey the song's lyrical themes, while also creating an engaging visual experience. And so, a noir-styled heist in the heart of LA just seemed to fit the song perfectly. We decided to keep the story simple and allow the tone of the video to help convey the song's significance. This gave us (the crew) the opportunity to create an aesthetic that intensified the song's mood, while also getting some incredible action scenes to tell the story. Needless to say, Armored Saint fans are in for a ride. I think they're gonna love it!"

Bassist Joey Vera adds: "Working again with director Robert Graves was incredible. Not only is this video great to watch, but underneath the storyline lies a layer of allegory, metaphor and symbolism. Kind of a first for us. John Bush's great lyrics twist and turn into meanings not visible at first sight. It's a view into a person's journey through life and how they maneuver through it all and what they gain from that experience in the end. The neo-noir look Robert created in both the story and the band performances make this a great addition to the Armored Saint video catalogue."

Vocalist John Bush adds: "Working with Robert is awesome. The guy is truly amazing. He's gonna be a star.

This time we pushed the dialogue. It was challenging for me, but I had fun with it. For motivation, I tried to channel some of the great actors who come into the casting studio that my wife and I run.

'Wolf' tackles the view of people who spend a lot of time on their own. Something I spent years doing. The solitary individuals that always keep us guessing. This video is dedicated to them."

Armored Saint also have new merchandise - including a flannel long sleeve, ashtray, flask, lighter, license plate holder, and more! - available at: indiemerch.com/armoredsaint

Leaders and stalwarts of the American heavy metal scene since the early 80s, Armored Saint's latest release, Punching The Sky (2020), sees them returning hard. A diverse, attitude-drenched collection, it's everything the band's faithful have come to expect from them while pushing their signature sound forward. With Vera acting as producer, he recruited the same engineering team that worked on Win Hands Down (2015) with drums recorded by Josh Newell at El Dorado Studios in Burbank, CA, guitars tracked by Bill Metoyer at Skullseven studios in North Hollywood, CA, and vocals, bass and additional recordings by the bassist at his studio. Mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Amon Amarth, Stonesour), the record also features a few guest musicians further expanding its sonic palette, the whole thing kicking off with the sound of Uilleann Pipes, Vera finding player Patrick D'Arcy in LA and recruiting him to the cause. Guns 'N' Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed also contributes, Vera giving both him and D'Arcy some general directions and letting them loose, both of them delivering strong performances. The band's own Gonzo Sandoval plays an American Indian flute on "Never You Fret" - a first for Armored Saint and their drummer. Also Jacob Ayala, the son of a childhood friend who is a drum major in high school, added some marching snare on one of the tracks, which really stands out.

KINGS WINTER RELEASE "EDGE OF EXISTENCE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Kings Winter

Edge Of Existence

Self-released

1 May 2021 | Digital, CD

Melodic Heavy Metal from Germany

More melodies and heavier at the same time? While it may seem contradictory at first, this is the best description for the stylistic evolution which KINGS WINTER has undergone in the two years since their debut EP "Forging The Cataclysm". While the foundation of Melodic Heavy Metal remains, the keyboards move significantly into the background on the new album and leave more space for powerful guitar riffs, which are repeatedly contrasted with catchy guitar leads, often reminiscent of Scandinavian Melodic Death Metal.

The debut album "Edge Of Existence" is completed by the multi-layered vocals of frontwoman Jule Dahs, who shows all facets of her voice ranging from classic clean vocals to a powerful rock voice, with occasional growls added to the mix.

"Living systems are never in equilibrium. They are inherently unstable. They may seem stable, but they’re not. Everything is moving and changing. In a sense, everything is on the edge of collapse."

(Michael Crichton)

"I read this quote by chance at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and was shocked by its relevance to the current situation," Tobias comments on the creation of the album title. "A little more than a year ago, no one would have believed that we would experience such restrictions in private and public life. But that only shows how unstable this living system, that we are a part of, really is and how one event that might appear small at first glance, can have global consequences." As soon as playing concerts is possible again, fans of the band will also have the opportunity to experience KINGS WINTER live on stage for the first time. "Shortly after the EP was released, we got the first messages asking when and where we could be seen on stage. We had never really thought about it beforehand, but after all the positive feedback for "Forging The Cataclysm" and with this new set of songs in hand, we hope to put together a live band over the course of this year so that we can play our first gigs whenever things return to normality," says Jule about the plans for the future of the band.

Tracklist:
