On March 29th, Whitechapel will release their 7th full-length, The Valley, via Metal Blade Records. Mixed by David Castillo, mastered by Ted Jensen, and produced once again by Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder), The Valley is a reference to the part of Hardin Valley (west of Knoxville, Tennessee) where vocalist Phil Bozeman grew up. Set against this backdrop, he approaches his subject matter unflinchingly, building upon everything that came before, making it clear that he has survived that which he was forced to endure and is not afraid to confront it. "Phil has been upfront in his lyrics in the past about hardships he endured in his life as a child, and I believe with this record we tried to paint a better picture of that," says guitarist Alex Wade, who alongside his bandmates, stands 100% behind everything their vocalist has to say. "I feel our music is Phil's release from his past, being able to get it out and speak about it, and hopefully anyone who hears it that may have gone through similar experiences can find some release in it as well."

For a preview of The Valley, a video for the new single, "When a Demon Defiles a Witch" (directed by Mathis Arnell - http://www.naughtymantis.com), can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuRZYB9EEZM

Anyone throwing The Valley on for the first time will immediately recognize it as the work of Whitechapel, yet as has been the case with each release, there is also evolution in play. "Sound-wise, it's all over the place," Bozeman states plainly. "There's aggression, and then you're hit with ominous and emotional guitar riffs. It's mean, but then transfers to soft and inviting. It's a whirlwind of emotions throughout."

It was once again recorded in Anton's own Sound Request Studio, and true to the motto "Never change a winning team", the cover artwork was created by Roman Ismailov who worked on Berserker as well as the first record Kabanen wrote under the banner of BATTLE BEAST, Steel (2012). From Hell With Love delivers everything that made fans love Anton's work in the first place. A slew of fast-paced tracks like the opener 'Cry Out For A Hero' and 'Repentless', hymnic songs 'Unlimited Sin' and 'This Is War' and one of the band's specialties, mid-tempo smashers that only BEAST IN BLACK can deliver are back and represented on the new disc by the lead single 'Sweet True Lies' and the album's title track. There's one thing that all of these tracks have in common - each and every song catches the listener with irresistible melodies, taking residence in the listener's mind from the moment they hear it.

Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome FATES WARNING to its worldwide roster. FATES WARNING began in the early 1980s playing a traditional style of heavy metal. However, they quickly began to adopt a more technically proficient style and are considered by many to be the first true prog metal band. While the band has subsequently moved in more melodic and ambient directions, they have remained a vibrant and well-respected cornerstone for the progressive camp within the heavy metal strata.
 
FATES WARNING vocalist Ray Alder comments: "All of us in FATES WARNING are happy to announce that we are back with Metal Blade Records. Metal Blade has been there for us since the very beginning and we are proud to call them part of our family. The journey begins again, and we cannot begin to say how excited we are to work together once more. A big thank you to our fans for sticking with us through all these years. We could not be here today without all of you. That is a fact. Thank you everyone. Here's to making some new memories!"
 
FATES WARNING will kick off a US tour supporting Queensrÿche next month. The tour will commence on March 2nd in Orlando, Florida and run through April 3rd in Seattle, Washington. The band will begin work on their thirteenth studio album, set for a 2020 release via Metal Blade, following the tour's conclusion. See all confirmed dates below.

Hostile Media are proud to welcome German death titans Profanation to the label and will unleash their fifth full length album Into Cascades Of Blood And Burning Soil on 26th April 2019! Ten tracks of blistering brutal and groove laden death metal you'd have thought came out in the early 90's, and recorded in much the same fashion at Soundlodge Studio in less than 1 week! With the announcement comes the very first track to be released, rather fittingly entitled 'Unholy Brutality Unleashed'.


Listen Here...
https://youtu.be/8w48ShgGfls


Bassist Anton comments, "All songs are finely balanced between speed, aggression and groove. Somehow we managed to create a red line, connecting all the songs even though it‘s not a conceptual record. All songs are framed by the 'Incantation' and 'A Place To Pray' that perfectly support the atmosphere we wanted to create. In a way it‘s old school death metal, but made for modern times with a superb production and influenced not only by the classics. Compared to our other albums it‘s the next step towards perfection. Our first two albums being really wild and combining death metal and grindcore. Since the Lustful Screams Of Torture album, we‘ve always grown musically. Always creating the songs as the essence of what we all love in death metal."
Tracklisting
1. Incantation
2. Into Cascades Of Blood And Burning Soil
3. Seed Of Evil
4. Silent God
5. Bloodbath In Heaven

For this album, the band enlisted Deins Forkas to create the album artwork. Bassist Henkka Blacksmith commented on the cover, “For some years already I have wanted to try a different approach with our cover art.  We are so used to digital art so that is really hard to do something else. Doing it all the way with computer is somewhat safe and convenient. This time we all agreed to try it old school.  We found this cool dude and gave him simple instructions.  The cover has to be purple and the reaper has to be central. Half a year later we got his work, and with little tweaking, we have the cover of Hexed.  It is very different from what we are used to, even the Reaper looks different, but at the same time very spooky. “
