Established as a heavyweight ever since its debut split MLP with EXULCERATION in 1991, PUTRID OFFAL has always been a one-of-a-kind Death / Grind band mixing, for example, Gregorian chants in their unadulterated proto-Goregrind but it's only after 2015 (comeback) debut full-length "Mature Necropsy" the band finally got the recognition they deserved.
Compiling all of their '90s discography (1991 demo and split 7" w/ Agathocles, 1991 split 12" w/ Exculceration and 1992 six-way "Obscurum per obscurius"), "Premature Necropsy" got first released on CD in 2015 too through now defunct KAOTOXIN Records and it was about time it sees the light of the day on Vinyl and cassette (specifically remastered for the occasion) to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary.

PRESS RELEASE:
Allamedah was formed in 2015, by vocalist and guitarist David Bitton, and drummer João Faria. At the end of 2015, after the entry of bass player Wilhelm Lindh, the band recorded their first single “Rio”.
In 2016, the quartet was completed with guitar player Tiago Marinho joining the band.
The band then started to record their debut EP, which featured 5 songs: "Symphony", "Behol Neshima", "Desnudar a Alma", "Red Flag" and "Rio".
In late 2017, after a few months of songwriting, the group went back into the studio to record 10 songs that were released over the years of 2018 and 2019.
One of the recorded songs was "Algema", which featured the fado singer Valéria Carvalho and João Luzio on the Portuguese guitar, and is currently the most popular song on the band's social media and music platforms.
After several bass players, in mid 2018, Johnny Jow occupied the position, making the band gain the heaviness and groove they were looking for.
In 2019 the band was invited to participate in the Commendatio Music Fest, sharing the stage with bands like Tesseract (UK) and Leprous (NO).
In the same year, the band was invited by the festival organizer Daniel Cardoso (Anathema | Musical Producer | UltraSoundStudios) to record an EP (Extended play).
The band was in studio during the months of November and December 2019 and January 2020 recording 5 songs, one of which had the special participation of the Jay Neto from US.
Musically, the band seeks to combine their Rock / Metal influences with their Portuguese musical roots.

PRESS RELEASE:
Carmeria
All Good Girls Go To Hell
Self-Released
26 November 2021
Following the release of their internationally acclaimed debut album Advenae, CARMERIA are now taking steps towards their next venture. The 5-piece are about to embark on their nation-wide album tour, and have decided to unleash one final offering before the year is out. This new cover-single, titled "All the Good Girls Go to Hell", is a symphonic metal re-imagining of the BILLIE EILISH classic, woven together with CARMERIA’s signature dramatic flair.
The band’s vocalist, Jordan Von Grae, says of the release:
‘’We are very excited to be releasing this new single. A lot of the material from our debut full-length (Advenae) had been written and recorded by the end of 2019, and in the years since we’ve been working quite diligently behind the scenes, laying the groundwork for our second album. We’ve been working on developing our production process, and felt that a cover-single would be the perfect opportunity to experiment with our new team. Needless to say, we’re very pleased with how it’s turned out, and can’t wait to begin production on album two.”
Despite global circumstances halting the growth of many bands at the turn of the new decade, CARMERIA have shown that no obstacle is great enough to stop the momentum of Australia’s future symphonic metal powerhouse.
All the "Good Girls Go to Hell" will be available via all major retail and streaming services on the 26th of November.

PRESS RELEASE:
Progressive rock legend CYNIC’s long-awaited new album, ‘Ascension Codes,’ is out TODAY! To celebrate the release, CYNIC is now sharing the official music video for the song “Diamond Light Body,” featuring artwork by visionary artists, Martina Hoffmann and Robert Venosa. Design and animations by Randy Gaul and Jonatan Martinez (the latter worked with Masvidal on the Mythical Human Vessel trilogy). The video can be seen at THIS LOCATION.
In addition, CYNIC will be hosting an album release party in Masvidal’s hometown of Miami, FL on Saturday, November 27 @ Gramps from 8:00P.M. – 11:00 P.M. The event is free and entry is on a first come, first serve basis. Members of CYNIC as well as producer/engineer Warren Riker will be present for a meet and greet.
Cynic’s Ascension Codes is a remarkably far-reaching work, and if nothing else, a clear indication that they have landed in a place of mastery. The album, paradoxically, acts as both swan song and rebirth.
‘Ascension Codes’ can be ordered at the Season of Mist E-Shop, and official CYNIC shop. The album can be streamed/downloaded HERE.

PRESS RELEASE:
Forthcoming album The Long Road North out February 11th, 2022 via Metal Blade Records
Pre-Order: metalblade.com/cultofluna – Touring EU / UK Spring 2022
For over two decades Sweden’s CULT OF LUNA have forged a sound incomparable to others – ambitious, epic, visceral, and drenched in emotion. Their forthcoming album The Long Road North is one of their most beautiful and dynamic works to date and features guest appearances from composer Colin Stetson, Phoenix’s Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz plus more. On The Long Road North‘s opening track, “Cold Burn”, listeners are immediately immersed in familiar, yet refreshingly new Cult of Luna territory. Its pulsating rhythms pummel, and Persson’s roar sears through layers of guitar.
“Cold Burn” is available today alongside an otherworldly video which previews the single’s gaming experience that will be released on February 11 alongside the album. The video and game, created by Linus Johansson of North Kingdom Greenhouse masterfully combines and captures Cult of Luna‘s ethereal soundscapes with real-time technology and interactive storytelling. Within the video, fans are able to explore the visual world created for The Long Road North. Watch below and stay tuned for more information on the game here.

The Long Road North sees its release on February 11, 2022 via Metal Blade Records and marks as a follow-up to this year’s The Raging River EP. As is the case with every album from the band in recent years, there is a lot of shifting of dynamics and sonic density, and perhaps more so than usual on The Long Road North. “It’s a big and cinematic sounding album. I think one of the reasons why we have been able to be so productive the last couple of years is that we have been consistently writing from the heart. We have let our instincts guide us, and I think it’s getting clearer where we are heading,” reveals vocalist/guitarist Johannes Persson, who has been one of the primary driving forces behind the band since their inception.
Persson continues, “The long road north is a long road home. A direction dictated by a call that penetrates rock and echoes through the forest. It flows over every lake, accelerated by the wind. When it reaches you, you know it’s time. Time to move forward. You don’t know where it will lead but you put the trust in it. With eyes raised towards the midnight sun it pulls you closer. The road is long and the end is uncertain.“
Recognized for their apocalyptic live performances that unrestrainedly explore the audience’s imagination, Cult of Luna will bring their stunning live show to fans just in time as The Long Road North hits shelves worldwide. Currently they are confirmed to tour UK and EU next Spring with Alcest, Caspian and Holy Fawn – North American dates to follow. For a full list of dates, see below and to purchase tickets, go here.

PRESS RELEASE:
Back with a vengeance and hell-bent on destruction, Norwegian death metallers, CADAVER, are back in business and ready to reign. Edder & Bile, the first full length from this band’s new incarnation of Anders Odden’s original, extreme metal vision, was unleashed unto the world in November of 2020 via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band releases the music video for "Years Of Nothing" which can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/50vgBfDWmN0
Anders Odden comments, "The release of ‘Years of Nothing’ symbolizes the 2 years we have gone through just now with the most boring end of the world ever. It is also the last Covid-19 styled video we will make. When the world closed down musicians started to jam across the continents and do these split-screen videos from their studio. It’s exactly how we did this. Writing this comment on tour with sold-out shows with MAYHEM right now feels great. May the pandemic be behind us.”
Edder & Bile was produced by the band as well as Adair Daufembach who also handled the engineering. The album was recorded and mixed at Northwood Sound Studios in Hollywood, CA. The album features vocal cameos from death metal icons Kam Lee (MASSACRE) and Jeff Becerra (POSSESSED) ensuring that this crushing rebirth has underground credentials to spare. The photo for the artwork was taken by Hannah Verbeuren and the layout was created by Justin Bartlett.
