about

“In the realms of the dead dwells Orcus, the punisher of broken oaths in the afterlife. He is Lord in this abode for purification of the souls, the Underworld. This is the katabasis of DROTT.

Called by The Lure, DROTT is flung into the maze of Caerdroia, descending deeper and closer to the realms of Orcus. As darkness grows, DROTT grasps at every beam of light possible in Katabasis, before realizing the true nature of the journey. As DROTT faces the sad and gloomy shore called The Strait, contours of The Psychopomp emerge from the shadows, he is the guide of souls in the passage between the living and the dead. So begins the journey into Orcus.

By The Lunar Lake recalls the echoes from the past. A feeling of tranquillity and connection with the living, unaware of the Marauders lurking nearby. Escaping the savage Marauders, Grey Gull ascends, restoring tranquillity and strength before DROTT´s final descent through The Arch of Gloom. There awaits Orcus, the judge, punisher and purificator. The Lord of the Underworld.”

DROTT is comprised of Arve Isdal (Enslaved), Ivar Thormodsæter (Ulver) and Matias Monsen and hails from Bergen in the west coast of Norway. With their varied musical background ranging from metal and jazz to classical music, they create the genre which can only be described as DROTT. Inspired by forces of nature, superstition and spirituality the trio explores light within darkness through their music.

The group, recently established (2020), released their self-titled EP in March 2021 and received great reviews. It established the Drott’s instrumental Progressive Rock sound as a breath of fresh air in the genre! Their first full-length “Orcus” album takes Drott in a new creative and artistic direction. With 10 tracks they dive deeper into sonic, experimental landscapes.

about

“One - In The Dark” is the first out of four chapters, in which TVINNA break down the different stages of life - each linked to one of the four elements. Their debut album is focusing upon the first chapter of our life: the state of being unborn and the process of birth - reflected through the element of water in its different shapes. Each of the 9 songs on the album tells a story about where we come from, are made of and are born into. One living being, out of the dark, connected and dependent.

TVINNA musical evolution has been constant since the release of their first song “The Gore“ in November 2019. Best described as progressive dark and electronica pop, their music marries multi-layered vocals to effect-accordion and electronics, accompanied by new metal influences on guitars, bass and drums. TVINNA are intertwining and summoning an intense and unique musical experience. All the songs and imagery (artwork, video) are created, written and produced by an intensive alliance between Laura, Fiona and Fieke.

TVINNA comment on the album: “We’ve created our own unique sphere through TVINNAs musical style - showing the depths of our inner reality in a more intimate way than ever before in this very first album. “One In The Dark” shows a musical side of us no-one has heard before! Where “The Gore” was like an introduction into the sonic landscape of TVINNA, the rest of the album really takes off into raw emotions and with that a more raw and heavy sound.”

TVINNA is an international band founded by Laura Fella (Faun), Fiona Rüggeberg (former Faun) and Fieke van den Hurk (Musician/Producer for a.o. Eivør, Omnia, Cesair), accompanied by Rafael Salzmann (Eluveitie) on guitars & bass and Jasper Barendregt (former Ulsect a.o.) on drums & beats.

CERES RELEASE "TYRANT´S RISE"

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"

ARS MORIENDI RELEASE "SAVONAROLE" SINGLE

PRESS RELEASE:

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.
