Nashville trio ACT OF IMPALEMENT are back with a third full length.

Act of Impalement is a 3 piece death metal outfit from Nashville, TN originally formed in 2012. The band was revitalized in 2022 with guitarist Ethan Rock's longtime collaborators Aaron Hortman and Jerry Garner, adding much darker and more aggressive elements to the sound. Though still drawing from the likes of Autopsy, Cianide, and Incantation, this third offering adds more inspiration from black/death juggernauts such as Archgoat and Possession. While lyrics include historical themes throughout, Profane Altar delves deeper than previous releases into occultic ritual violence with intensified vitriol towards bearers of the cross

HINAYANA RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO: "TEMPEST HORIZON"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In celebration of their European tour with Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum beginning this week, today, Austin, Texas based melodic death metal unit HINAYANA have released a brand new single, entitled “Tempest Horizon”. Following in the footsteps of their latest album, Shatter And Fall, which Blabbermouth dubbed "monstrously heavy and instinctively dramatic”, the new track is equally crushing and melodic while boasting accessible grooves, icy blastbeats, massive guitars and dynamic vocal intensity. The track arrives alongside a dark, ominous music video.

Frontman Casey Hurd states about the track:

“‘Tempest Horizon’ is about the storm that exists at the edge of every soul as it passes into the next realm. Breaching the barrier between life and death, the tumultuous journey the spirit makes when no longer confined to its mortal shell. The song is meant to be punchy and straight to the point, building off the HINAYANA sound but with new aggression and vigor – hinting at the band’s next era.”

Order HINAYANA's Latest Album, Shatter And Fall, HERE: https://napalmrecords.com/hinayana

In 2018, HINAYANA first ensnared the masses with their self-released debut, Order Divine, and later defied the pandemic with their subsequent 2020 release, the Death Of The Cosmic EP. Produced by frontman Casey Hurd and Kevin Butler with mastering by Dan Swanö at Unisound, their latest, 2023's Shatter And Fall, serves as a darker, more solemn work in comparison to their previous releases, yet superior without question in songwriting, technicality and cohesiveness. Shatter And Fall also features guest contributions from melodic death metal purveyors Tuomas Saukkonen of Wolfheart and Vincent Jackson Jones of Aether Realm. Setting them apart from contemporaries like Insomnium, Amorphis and Swallow the Sun, Shatter And Fall blends modern, accessible elements with equal parts melody and menace. 

Shatter And Fall track listing:

1. Slowly Light Collides    

2. Mind Is A Shadow (feat. Vincent Jackson Jones)

3. How Many Dreams    

4. Spirit And Matter

SIDEWINDER RELEASE "MARCH OF THE ETERNAL HERETIC"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

SIDEWINDER – MARCH OF THE ETERNAL HERETIC EP

LABEL: INDEPENDENT RELEASE

RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 7th 2025

Somewhere between Leeds and the end of the universe there’s a gas masked warrior bedecked in spikes and bullets. Beneath a burning sky he’s facing down a legion of undead scum, skeletons infused with some kind of toxic nuclear power, armed with every damn thing they can find – from guns to sticks, barbed wire to billhooks – and for some reason they think they stand a chance. The warrior checks his double barrelled laser and death belching sidearms, adjusts the gas mask and pushes the wireless earphones deep into his ear canals. He checks the ancient, rusted music player that’s never let him down…hits play and starts killing. And to the sound of hardcore, thrash metal, speed and violence the undead start to die all over again…

Leeds based kings of crossover, Sidewinder, are back with a new four track EP that’s primed and ready to tear you limb from limb. ‘Only four songs’ you might be thinking…well, you won’t be thinking that when Sidewinder have finished with you! March Of The Eternal Heretic packs more aggression and intensity than most bands manage over the course of four albums. If it was any longer this thing would probably kill you… Opening with single, ‘Two Zero One’ you’re hit hard by Slayerized riffing that takes you back to when the skies rained blood and everyone lived south of heaven. Add to that the muscle and defiance of Agnostic Front and a dangerous, pit hungry attitude and you’ve got the perfect recipe for destruction. The title track comes next, featuring a guest appearance from Chris Barling of Inhuman Nature, all pummelling drums and guitar leads howling and diving, razor wire vocals and the adrenaline counter in the red zone. The breathless ‘From Beneath They Shall Rise’ follows, on your tail like a rabid dog before mixing in some mid-tempo punches and a cool clanking bass tone. Applying the final knockout blow ‘Ashes Of Eternity’ is the kind of song that makes everywhere a pit. This bruising, battling anthem is simply glorious in its blood-spitting rebellion and dissent. However, for all the sonic violence that seethes throughout March Of The Eternal Heretic, don’t go thinking these songs are just interchangeable bursts of angry noise. They are sweetly structured, individual, characterful tracks, purposeful and unflinching in delivery – they just all happen to hit like a ten ton truck with its pedal to the metal.

Engineered and mastered by James Atkinson (Angel Witch, Carcass, Wytch Hazel etc) March Of The Eternal Heretic sounds virulent and venomous, walking deftly along the edge of chaos – and the amazing artwork of renowned tattooist Gareth Hares, who also supplied the visuals for Sidewinder’s 2023 release War Tapes Vol. 1, perfectly completes this explosive package. Single ‘Two Zero One’ is out on January 31st and the full March Of The Eternal Heretic EP drops on February 7th. Be ready for this one, because Sidewinder are taking no prisoners!

Line-up:

Damo - Vocals

Ginner - Guitars

Jonesy - Guitars

Finch - Bass

Gaz - Drums

Genre: Thrash Metal/Hardcore

For fans of: Slayer | Agnostic Front | Cro-Mags | Exodus
