PRESS RELEASE:
Tyrant's Rise
by Ceres
released July 2, 2021
Label: Electric Assault Recs
Tracklist:
1.Tyrant's Rise 04:11
2.Blood Of The Warrior 05:17
3.Remnants Of Battle 05:05
4.Writs Of Blood 03:49
The struggle in searching for unpolished US metal is as epic as the battles bands like Warlord and Manilla Road wrote about, but a beacon has emerged in the form of Ceres. A cross country collaboration between Jesse Balgley and Leo Kabat, Ceres delivers the riffs and hooks rarely found in today's sea of mediocre heavy metal. Tyrant's Rise delivers nearly 19 minutes of true metal power that will surely stand the test of time. Ceres is unabashedly rooted in the old ways, paying respect to the bands that have conquered in the past, but if this demo is any indication, a new path will be made with the duo on the frontlines. Worshippers of Omen and Medieval Steel take note!
Jesse Balgley: Rhythm guitar, bass, drums, lead guitar on "Blood Of The Warrior" and "Writs Of Blood"
Leo Kabat: Vocals, synth, lead guitar on "Remnants Of Battle"
Guest lead guitar on "Blood Of The Warrior" and "Writs Of Blood" by Ian Kilpatrick
Mixed and mastered by Jamie Elton

Savonarole
by ARS MORIENDI
Released: April 1, 2021
Label: Archaic Sound
Debut single from upcoming album "Le silence déraisonnable du ciel".
Out on CD/LP later this year.
lyrics
Les flammes montent au plus haut dans le ciel de Florence
Ici brûlent les livres et les objets damnés
Les adeptes voient ça comme une sombre vengeance
Cela est l’œuvre du prêcheur des cas désespérés
Il a remis au cœur les saintes écritures
Condamnant à jamais les faux vicaires du Christ
Envoyant aux enfers les hommes gris et leur bure
Il a cru être pur, dédouané de tout vice
Savonarole… foi commune, hérésie jusqu’en théocratie
Savonarole…dénonçant indulgence, usure et simonie
Savonarole…obscure est ta pensée semblant de tyrannie
Savonarole…par les feux de l’Église tu seras banni
Savonarole…Dénonçant indulgence usure et simonie
Mais sa sainte volonté était bien trop obscure
Proposant à son peuple, bannissement et torture
Lorsque la foi du prêcheur n’était pas respectée
Aucune hésitation, direction le bûcher.
Savonarole… foi commune, hérésie jusqu’en théocratie
Savonarole…dénonçant indulgence, usure et simonie
Savonarole….obscure est ta pensée semblant de tyrannie
Savonarole…par les feux de l’église tu seras banni
Savonarole…Dénonçant indulgence usure et simonie ?
Dans le monde de l’unique, tout puissant, dogmatique
Mener son existence du grandiose au tragique
Imposteur pour les uns, saint prieur pour les autres
Il a posé les bases des changements futurs
Mais aussi initié une spiritualité
Basée sur l’oppression des cas désespérés
Mais toujours sonne le glas des semeurs d’idées
Dans le monde de l’unique, tout puissant dogmatique
Il n’en fallait pas plus pour le faire arrêter
Mener son existence du grandiose au tragique
Et les flammes montèrent dans le ciel de Florence
N’émanant plus de livres mais de chairs consumées
Savonarole, affronta cela avec décence,
Refusant jusqu’au bout d’abjurer sans souffrance
De sont corps meurtri par les cordes tirées
Le prêcheur forcé, repartit en fumée.

about
Vinyl re-issue of the cult debut album of Colombian black metal horde NIADH.
Originally released on limited CD and cassette via their Iron Goat Commando label, NIADH's Our Victory is Eternal finally finds release on the most fitting of black metal formats: vinyl. An underground gem thawed from ancient times, NIADH's debut album could verily be a lost relic of the glorious '90s, so authentic is its vintage obsidian. Grimly melodic, patiently epic yet always exuding grime and filth, Our Victory is Eternal is old-days/old-ways medieval black metal par excellence. Names invoked include classic Judas Iscariot to the early days of Spanish black metal ala Primigenium, Akerbeltz, and Blazemth to Mexico's Azhia and Haborym closer to their native Colombia, and even Satanic Warmaster and Horna at their very grimmest. In other words, NIADH is pure 'n' proud all-caps BLACK METAL strictly for maniacs: cultural tourists or Instagram "record collector" trendies, DO NOT ENTRY!
Feel the breath of night again or for the first time with this long-overdue vinyl edition of NIADH's Our Victory is Eternal!

PRESS RELEASE:
Belched from Hell’s depths into the rustic charms of the Witch County, Suffolk, thirty long and disturbing years ago, CRADLE OF FILTH are undisputed giants of the Heavy Metal realm. Imperious purveyors of a perennially unique strain of dark, dastardly and wilfully extreme metal, with deep roots in the worlds of gothic horror and occult curiosity, the band led by Dani Filth has weathered three decades of tumult and trial, earning a formidable reputation as both a singular creative force and one of the most riotously entertaining live bands the metal world has ever produced.
Now the gates of hell have finally opened up again, to reveal the band's 13th manifesto, recorded during the lockdown periods of 2020 and entitled »Existence Is Futile«. Pieced together in isolation, at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk with studio guru Scott Atkins (Devilment/Benediction/Vader), the band's latest chef-d'oeuvre is a pitch-black, perverse and at times absurdly brutal and extreme masterpiece following a truly nihilistic concept:
"The album is about existentialism, existential dread and fear of the unknown," frontman Dani Filth explains. "The concept wasn’t created by the pandemic. We’d written it long before that began, but the pandemic is the tip of the cotton-bud as far as the way the world is headed, you know? I guess the title, »Existence Is Futile«, does sound a little morbid. But again, it’s more about recognising that truth and saying that everything is permitted because nothing really matters, which mimics the occultist Aleister Crowley’s maxim. We all know we’re going to die, so we might as well indulge life while we possess it. The final track on the album – 'Us, Dark, Invincible' – really drives that point home. Also, the artwork for this record was created by the Latvian visionary Arthur Berzinsh, who also dressed the last two albums, and that reeks of the exceedingly beautiful yet apocalyptic too."
Diehard fans will be thrilled to learn that horror icon Doug 'Pinhead' Bradley makes a welcome return to the CRADLE fold, lending his dulcet tones to the band's most polictically astute song to date, the epic 'Suffer Our Dominion' as well as the album bonus track 'Sisters Of The Mist', which is the conclusion to the 'Her Ghost In The Fog' trilogy that started over 20 years ago on the infamous and classic "Midian".
Yet today, the hellhounds from Suffolk will reveal one of their most brutal tracks on the new album, accompanied by an infernal music video directed by Vicente Cordero.
Poison your eyes and ears with CRADLE OF FILTH's latest Lovecraftian anthem and evoke the 'Crawling King Chaos' here: https://youtu.be/Wks1aBh49sQ
The album pre-order starts on this fateful day of July, so reserve your copy or pre-save the album via this link: https://bfan.link/existence-is-futile.ema
"Existence Is Futile" will be available in the following formats:
- CD jewelcase
- CD digipak (incl. 2 bonus tracks)
- Collector's edition boxset including digipak, 2LP in gatefold, necklace with band symbol pendant, 5 buttons, flag with album artwork, lyric sheet from Dani Filth (also available as strictly limited NB mailorder edition featuring an alternative cover artwork)

PRESS RELEASE:
Band: Veil Of Conspiracy
Album: Echoes Of Winter
Country: Italy
Genre: Melancholic Metal
Label: BadMoodMan Music
Release date: August 27, 2021
The new album by the Italian band featuring musicians previously participated in other bands and already released their first full-length album. "Echoes Of Winter", unlike the debut album, demonstrates balance, refinement of the material and musicians’ skills, together with its integrity. Perfect recording quality underlines all shades of the music and the mood of the album. The atmosphere of despair and emptiness is emphasized not only by harmonious musicians' performance with sublime riffs and deep guitar solos, but also by pure melancholic vocals with tragic screaming inclusions. This journey into coldness and darkness will be especially pleasant for fans of the classic Katatonia, as well as Opeth and The Morningside.
Tracklist:
1 Echoes Of Winter
2 Grim Light
3 The Darkest Fall
4 Ocean's Tide
5 At The Edge Of Dark
6 Cold
7 Shore Of Discord
8 Forsaken
9 Svart
10 Where Sun Turns To Grey

ALL WASTED
ALL WASTED – A metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. Created by members with the attitude that it’s time to “just have a damn good time”. After a couple of years of jamming and tuning in the “right style” the band decided to go public in 2020. Not only with a raw, energetic, punch in the face kind of music. But also with a full length album ready to go.
So what genre is it?
- Call it Rock ‘n roll – death or death ‘n roll or anything else that sounds cool!(?) But it’s energetic, heavy, punchy and easy listened at the same time. Just the right amount of trickiness, and party as hell. Just hard enough for the death metal heads, but still enough simple melodies for straight up rockers. There’s some “old school” in there for you as well as hardcore-punk”(?). Take a listen and you’ll know what we mean.
Background?
ALL WASTED´s members come from bands like: We Are The Catalyst, Arise, Reenact, Agaze, Last Kingdom, Debbie Ray… e.tc. Join us on our journey…
All Wasted are:
Patrik – vocals
Erik – guitar
Emil – guitar/backing vocals
Hcan – drums
Jimmy – bass
