AS I LAY DYING comment, "We are tremendously grateful to have found positive resolve from the worst moments of our history. The previous chapter of our journey was one of pervasive hurt and pain. Subsequent years found us on varied paths—all of which slowly led towards resolutions of growth, healing, and reconciliation. AS I LAY DYING's collective purpose is to share a message of hope for everyone through the empowering outlet of music, and we are humbled by the overwhelming support we have received from family, friends, and fans so far.

We are honored to join forces with Nuclear Blast Worldwide in releasing our new album Shaped By Fire. Their legacy and contribution to the heavy music scene is undeniably incredible and we are proud to call their label home. We are thankful for their support and enthusiasm and together we look forward to sharing the best AILD record yet!    

In conjunction with our new album announcement, we are excited to share a music video for the title track 'Shaped by Fire.' While lyrically akin to the other Shaped By Fire single releases 'My Own Grave' and 'Redefined', we explored some different musical territory to incorporate within our established sound. We’d like to thank our director Mathis Arnell, all of the crew, and actors that contributed to making this video with us under the very hot conditions!

We look forward to seeing our fans out on the road as we embark on the Latin American, European, and US tours before closing the book on 2019."

Shaped By Fire was produced by the band and was mixed by Joseph McQueen at Sparrow Sound in Los Angeles, CA while mastering was completed by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in Nashville, TN. The only exception was for the track “My Own Grave” which was produced by AS I LAY DYING, co-produced by Drew Fulk and mixed by Adam “Nolly” Getgood. The artwork was created by Corey Meyers.

SLAYER'S SPONSORSHIP PULLED FROM NASCAR RACE

8/16/2019

0 Comments

 
Last week, Slayer announced that it had joined Rick Ware Racing as the primary sponsor for the No. 54 entry at tomorrow's Bristol Motor Speedway.  Today, reportedly due to reactionary concerns from other long-time participating sponsors, Slayer has been pulled as the primary sponsor, and all Slayer signage has been removed from the car that was to be piloted by Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series veteran, JJ Yeley.  The incontrovertible PODS Moving & Storage will now sponsor that car.

After nearly 40 years, Slayer apparently remains as terrifying to some as ever.

TOMB MOLD Plays Psycho Las Vegas And West Coast Shows This Week; Acclaimed Planetary Clairvoyance LP Out Now Through 20 Buck Spin

8/16/2019

0 Comments

 
While their recently issued third LP Planetary Clairvoyance continues to reap praise from fans and media alike, Toronto death metal act TOMB MOLD this week traverses the continent to perform several West Coast tour dates, including the massive Psycho Las Vegas gathering.
 
TOMB MOLD accelerates unhinged toward infinite resurrection on Planetary Clairvoyance. Already being heralded as one of the most critically acclaimed death metal releases of the year, Planetary Clairvoyance delivers the explosive weight of a collapsing black hole. As with their acclaimed Manor Of Infinite Forms LP, Planetary Clairvoyance was tracked by Sean Pearson at Box Car Studios in Toronto and then mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Volahn, Scorched). The amalgamation of the huge sound of the prior album and the gritty particle chaos of their Primordial Malignity debut come into boundless unity on Planetary Clairvoyance. The record is completed with cover art by Jesse Jacobi with additional artwork by Lucas Korte.
 
Following as performance at Maryland Deathfest, a North American tour with labelmates Superstition, and more TOMB MOLD returns to the road this week to play at the massive Psycho Las Vegas with The Original Misfits, High On Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Bad Religion, Carcass, Old Man Gloom, and many others. The show is followed by shows in Oakland, San Diego, and Los Angeles into early next week. Watch for additional tour dates to be announced.
 
TOMB MOLD's Planetary Clairvoyance is available on digital, CD, cassette, and LP formats. The first vinyl pressing is packaged with a bonus gatefold insert with additional artwork.
 
Place orders at the 20 Buck Spin webshop HERE and via Bandcamp where the album is streaming HERE.
 
TOMB MOLD Tour Dates:
8/17/2019 Psycho Las Vegas @ Mandalay Bay Resort @ Casino - Las Vegas, NV [info]
8/18/2019 Elbo Room Jack London - Oakland, CA w/ Mortuous, Dearth [info]
8/19/2019 Brick By Brick - San Diego, CA [info]
8/20/2019 Catch One - Los Angeles, CA w/ Mork [info]
 
"...not only their best album, but also one of death metal's fiercest and most diverse offerings in recent memory... Lofty ideas like ego death and past life hypnosis combined with more tangible and certain actualities like heartbreak and death make Planetary Clairvoyance a very personal - yet almost alien - piece of music." - Kerrang! Magazine
 
"...another batch of twisted bashers that balance next-dimension technicality and terminal-brain cell brutality." - Decibel Magazine
 
"Darker, stranger, and more atmospheric than its predecessor, Planetary Clairvoyance extends their gifts beyond death metal, sounding untied to any particular lineage. It's their tightest record to date, suite-like in its momentum and thematic coherence. 8/10" - Pitchfork
 
"TOMB MOLD know how to serve up absolutely ripping death metal that will make you want to puke acid." - Revolver Magazine
 
"The chordwork features more twists and turns, and the leads feel sharper and better deployed, particularly the intertwining harmonies at song's end. This is ripping death served with putrid flair, the perfect midway point between Incantation's unholy tones and the idiot aggression of Asphyx." - Stereogum
 
"Planetary Clairvoyance is an exceptional death metal album. It has the traits of classic records, but never prostrates itself into pure worship. It's eerie, heavy and has just enough technicality to keep it interesting without detracting from its impact. 9/10" - Exclaim! Magazine
 
"Few acts can manage to write three albums worth of material in three years. Even fewer acts can write three excellent records in that time. Even so, Toronto death metal outfit TOMB MOLD have done just that... Planetary Clairvoyance, eclipses their prior work in every way." - Consequence Of Sound
 
"...not exactly progressive death metal, but it does move in a more intricate direction when compared to their last two records. It's definitely their most ambitious work, bringing complexity to their ooze." - Bandcamp Daily
 
"When one hears an album like this, it's no wonder that death metal has made the comeback it has. Planetary Clairvoyance is one more amazing notch in TOMB MOLD's furious discography. It's technical, harrowing and unrelenting. If you've been sleeping on this band, don't for a second longer. Enter the stratosphere and get annihilated. 9.5/10" - Metal Injection

In late 2018, death/black commando BELPHEGOR has started composing new material for their twelfth full-length studio album that is due to be released in Summer 2020 via Nuclear Blast.

Now Helmuth and Serpenth will soon enter the studio again and give you several insights into the recording process and the progress being made.

As first teaser for the new piece of diabolical art, you can now check out a live clip from Party San Open Air in Germany, filmed last Thursday. The snippet shows the band performing a part of an unreleased new track, titled 'SANCTUS DIABOLI CONFIDIMUS': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44REBVlCVYc
Filmed and edit by Anja Ahasverus.

Lizzy Borden launches lyric video for "The Scar Across My Heart"; set to kick off North American tour with Demons & Wizards, Týr this weekend

8/16/2019

0 Comments

 
Set to kick off his North American tour with Demons & Wizards and Týr this weekend (August 17th), Lizzy Borden is now launching a new lyric video for "The Scar Across My Heart" for fans. To watch the clip, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JMJHz3bJ-s 

Lizzy Borden comments: "I wanted the 'Scar across my heart' lyric video to have that translucent, cloaked in a visual lie look to it. A barrage of negative hard rain flooding down on those hollow words 'we're gonna make it now', an exercise in futility for a doomed from the start connection. 
We are extremely excited to finally hit the road with Lizzy Borden's 'My Midnight Things' show. This new show is a bombastic, high energy theatrical production. From the start of 'My Midnight Things' to the end of 'Long May They Haunt Us', we will flash through the decades playing classic songs from each and every Lizzy Borden record to-date. 
Sharing the stage with Demons & Wizards, as well as our label mates Tyr, can't help from being one of the most interesting and entertaining combined forces in a very long time. All three bands are very different from each other and yet oddly compatible. This is a 'can't miss' night! See you there, I'll bring the blood; you bring the screams!" 

See below for all dates! 

Lizzy Borden tour dates

Sept. 1 - Corona - Montreal, QC
Sept. 4 - The Palladium - Worcester, MA
Sept. 5 - Playstation Theater - New York, NY 

Lizzy Borden will be touring in support of My Midnight Things, which was released last year via Metal Blade Records. His first full-length in over a decade, the record earned the #11 spot on Billboard's Top New Artist Albums, #17 on the Current Hard Music Albums, #43 on Top New Artist Albums Consumption, #46 on Independent Current Albums, and #148 on Top 200 Current Albums upon its first week of release. 

My Midnight Things was produced by Lizzy Borden, with co-producer Joey Scott (who also handled all drum duties), mixed by Greg Fidelman (Metallica, Black Sabbath, Adele, U2), and mastered by Tom Baker (David Bowie, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Tom Petty).

Additional recordings took place in various other places. "Mikko produced the album and he really managed to push us to do our best, even with the more experimental stuff. Working with an outside producer was the biggest new thing we tried this time," says Henrik "Henkka" Klingenberg. The mixing was done by Mikko Tegelman and Pasi Kauppinen and the mastering was handled by Svante Forsbäck (Chartmakers Mastering).

DESTRUCTION - Bass-Playthrough for "Rotten" released

8/15/2019

0 Comments

 
Today, the band presents a bass-playthroug video of the brand new track "Rotten".
Check it out here: https://youtu.be/EisTSObkdkA

Vocalist & bassist Schmier states:
“Rotten has this classic triplet feel that differs from the rest of the songs on the album. It keeps the right hand pretty busy and has a powerful groove. It will sure be fan & band fave live in the near future!” The phrasing of the chorus has nothing to do with Jerseys best boys by the way, it is just the most effective way in English to describe a ruthless fucking asshole, that would kill for his success! We did these playthroughs because of the fan demand, I really hope you enjoy it!“

Endseeker launches video for new single, "Cure"

8/15/2019

0 Comments

 
On September 13th, Endseeker will release their new album, The Harvest, via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of this record, a video for the new single, "Cure", can be viewed at: https://youtu.be/yAYpG6y9HxQ 

To hear the previously released track, "Spiritual Euphoria", please visit: metalblade.com/endseeker - where The Harvest can also be pre-ordered in the following formats: 
--Ltd. Digi-CD w/bonustrack
--180 g black vinyl
--Dead gold marbled vinyl (ltd. 300) 
--Light grey/blue marbled vinyl (ltd. 200) 
--Black/white splatter vinyl (ltd. 100/Kingsroad exclusive) 
--Cool grey marbled vinyl (ltd. 100/US-exclusive) 






Since 2015, the name Endseeker has stood for the finest Swedish styled death metal from Hamburg, Germany. Hard as a fist and uncompromising like binge drinking on St. Pauli - but with a big chunk of heart and soul to it. 

For The Harvest, Endseeker worked once again with Eike Freese (Heaven Shall Burn, Deep Purple, Gamma Ray), the same producer behind their 2017 debut album Flesh Hammer Prophecy. The album was laid down at Chameleon Studios, Hamburg, and it was described as "a painless, pleasurable process for all." Everything on The Harvest feels natural, the songs flowing freely without being predictable, and doing the maximum amount of damage as they thunder from the speakers. 

The band adds: "The new album provides a lot of diversity and surprises. The vocals are varied and the melodies are catchy, but it's still far away from mainstream. You can hear the influential heritage but we hopefully also added some new and relevant flavor to it." 

The album's release in September, which coincides with traditional harvest season, which was a source of inspiration for the record. "It's where nature starts to shut down. Fruits ripen, fields get mowed down, people and animals start to prepare for winter by storing stocks. It's a time of death. Leaves fall off the trees, hibernation is coming closer, the days get shorter and soon everything turns grey. It's almost magical to see how everything seemingly dies just to resurrect in spring to fulfill another whole spin. These are strong images that are closely related to our vision of death metal, nothing is as cruel and fascinating as nature, and the lyrics are based mainly - but not only - on nature topics."

THE 69 EYES - Reveal Music Video For Third Single "Black Orchid"

Reveal Music Video For Third Single "Black Orchid"
+
Pre-Order Available Here: nblast.de/The69EyesCheyenna

Photo credit: Christin Morris
The release of THE 69 EYES' phenomenal 30-years-anniversary album is getting closer - on September 13th, Finland's dark rockers are set to release their 12th offering, West End, via Nuclear Blast and have revealed another single today - the sinister rock hymn "Black Orchid"!

"This is the most straight forward Gothic Rock song on the album", explains singer Jyrki 69. "The guy talking in the lyrics is a similar kind of old fashioned adventurer like the guy in white in Sister Of Mercy's 'Dominion' music video. He likes independent women, nightlife and reads E.A. Poe and Hermann Hesse.
 
The lyric video is done like all the music videos on this album, with Los Angeles-based director Vicente Cordero. It was filmed during THE 69 EYES show at The Regent Theater in LA last May. Wednesday 13, DevilDriver’s Dez Fafara and Faster Pussycat’s Taime Downe can be seen backstage among the other usual suspects." 
 
Watch the video clip of 'Black Orchid', here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh3s7mC-8Z4
Stream or download the new track via this link: http://nblast.de/The69Eyes-BlackOrchid

11 up-tempo rock anthems full of heaviness, black memento mori moments and dark humour await you on THE 69 EYES' new studio album »West End« that features several top notch guest vocalists including Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth, Wednesday 13 and Beastö Blancö's Calico Cooper.

As I Lay Dying Announce New Album Shaped By Fire Via Nuclear Blast, Release New Music Video For Title Track + Pre-Order Now Available!

0 Comments

 
Nuclear Blast Records is proud to welcome the worldwide signing of AS I LAY DYING. The band's seventh album, Shaped By Fire, will be released on September 20th via Nuclear Blast.AS I LAY DYING comments, "We are tremendously grateful to have found positive resolve from the worst moments of our history. The previous chapter of our journey was one of pervasive hurt and pain. Subsequent years found us on varied paths—all of which slowly led towards resolutions of growth, healing, and reconciliation. AS I LAY DYING's collective purpose is to share a message of hope for everyone through the empowering outlet of music, and we are humbled by the overwhelming support we have received from family, friends, and fans so far.

We are honored to join forces with Nuclear Blast Worldwide in releasing our new album Shaped By Fire. Their legacy and contribution to the heavy music scene is undeniably incredible and we are proud to call their label home. We are thankful for their support and enthusiasm and together we look forward to sharing the best AILD record yet!    

In conjunction with our new album announcement, we are excited to share a music video for the title track 'Shaped by Fire.' While lyrically akin to the other Shaped By Fire single releases 'My Own Grave' and 'Redefined', we explored some different musical territory to incorporate within our established sound. We’d like to thank our director Mathis Arnell, all of the crew, and actors that contributed to making this video with us under the very hot conditions!

We look forward to seeing our fans out on the road as we embark on the Latin American, European, and US tours before closing the book on 2019."

Today, the band offer fans a music video for the title track, "Shaped By Fire". Watch the video directed by Mathis Arnell here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdUhTHGR1Tk

The only exception was for the track “My Own Grave” which was produced by AS I LAY DYING, co-produced by Drew Fulk and mixed by Adam “Nolly” Getgood. The artwork was created by Corey Meyers.

HELHORSE Release New Single and Video!

HELHORSE Release New Single and Video!
Hydra drops August 23rd on Rodeostar Records!
When gnarly punk, pure metal and the swagger of hard rock meet, it can only mean one thing: the unholy rebirth of HELHORSE! The Danes love to rock out with riffs heavier than Godzilla`s balls. Be part of one of the loudest, dirtiest and also most melodic riff fests of the year!
 
HELHORSE have just released their 2nd single. So, get ready and listen to the brand new track Avalanche and watch the video HERE:

HELHORSE on Avalanche: "This song represents the changes that this band has gone through and it shows the development in our song writing. And though the initial idea for the lyrics was political, it ended up revolving around Mikkel's own personal growth. Once again we’ve collaborated with the talented Andreas Benthien and he has created a video that is a great testament to the magic that happens at live shows. A great mix of what we do best combined with the sound of Helhorse in 2019."
 
HELHORSE are no strangers on the international scene sharing stages with acts such asAC/DC, Rammstein, and Slayer, while touring Europe with Karma To Burn and PhilCampbell to name a few.
 
The new album "Hydra" is set to elevate this excellent four-piece even further into the minds and hearts of heavy metal fans all over the world. "Hydra" has everything you need as a fan of heavy music. Riffs are ripping, the choruses are bigger than Trump’s ego, and the energy is authentic as it is infectious. The lyrical theme of the album is focused on seizing the day, and not to letting triviality drag you down. Or in Mikkel Wads words: “The perpetual rage feeds desire - that sums up pretty well how I felt writing the lyrics for this album. I have channeled my restlessness, my anger and my disdain for triviality and overall bullshit:”
 
„Hydra“ has been mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Gojira, Meshuggah). Staying clear of the modern music worlds compressed and very undynamic master, „Hydra“ aims at giving you that crisp you’ve been missing, and showcasing that quality of spending time on refining the smaller details, to give you a spacious sound.
 
HELHORSE are acclaimed and praised for their live shows and their charismatic sound. The band has spent the last couple of years positioning themselves as a true force as one of the leading heavy bands in the Nordic area. The band has been named one of Denmark’s best live acts several times, showcasing relentless touring history over the years, and also performed at key festivals such as Roskilde, Copenhell, Spot Festival, Tallinn Music Week, Reeperbahn Festival and many more.

RANK AND VILE:  Deathgrind Outfit Premiere "redistribution of flesh." Single At Invisible Oranges. redistribution of flesh. Album Out October 18th.

8/15/2019

0 Comments

 
Portland, Oregon-based death-grind outfit Rank and Vile are proud to announce the forthcoming October 18th release of their debut album, redistribution of flesh. Formed by musicians who had already honed their craft in many Portland-based projects over the years, Rank and Vile came to life in 2018 with shared chemistry and a clear vision for the band from their inception. Immediately wasting no time to get going, the group promptly released an energetic three-song EP in late 2018 called chameleon bastard. along with beginning to play live shows.

Not even a full year later and Rank and Vile are ready to unleash even more pissed off and destructive music with redistribution of flesh. In the world of grindcore where speed is god above all else, the power of quality riffs and killer songwriting continues to be the X factor for grind acolytes like Rank and Vile who desire to carve out their own path. Through the incorporation of down-tempo crushing heaviness and grooves woven into their sound, the band puts their own personal stamp on death-grind in an exciting way. 

The group cites influences ranging from Rotten Sound, Magrudergrind, Entombed, Gatecreeper, and Black Breath. Fans of those bands will find much to love throughout every annihilating burst of fury redistribution of flesh. contains. With an ambitious series of plans already set post-release, Rank and Vile are dedicated to rising through the ranks. This is only the beginning for a very special new band.

Today the band partnered with Invisible Oranges to premiere the title track of their album, "redistribution of flesh."

Invisible Oranges comments on the premiere of "redistribution of flesh."
"Hailing from Portland, the four-piece outfit has stretched and contorted its scathing brand of deathgrind into impossible new shapes with the addition of brutal downtempo slams and old-school murkiness into their sound, resulting in material that will simultaneously break your neck and compress your mind."

"Darting through densely composed instrumental motifs, “redistribution of flesh” seeps and evolves into different shapes quickly and with lithe ability often unseen in deathgrind, following the lodestar of classic death metal despite their convincing grindcore disguise."
 Pre-orders for Rank and Vile - "redistribution of flesh." are now live

SHOCK NARCOTIC: BrooklynVegan Premieres Debut From Detroit Grind Faction Featuring Current/Former Members Of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Child Bite, Shit Life, The Black Dahlia Murder, Battlecross, And More; Record To Drop This Friday Via Housecore

8/15/2019

0 Comments

 
BrooklynVegan is currently streaming I Have Seen The Future And It Doesn't Work, the battering debut full-length from Detroit grind bringers SHOCK NARCOTIC. The premiere comes in advance of the record's worldwide release Friday, August 16th via Housecore Records.
 
Writes the esteemed blog of the release, "...that title mixed with the unrelenting fury of this album makes for exactly the kind of cathartic release you need when you feel like you're suffocating from helplessness and the feeling of doubt that things will ever get better. Over the course of the 14 songs that make up their debut, SHOCK NARCOTIC... specializes in a type of grind that bottles up all the anger and unrest that a lot of us are feeling right now, and spits it back out with venom. It's a total sonic assault, and as dystopian as it might be, it's an album with modest production and lifelike screams that remind you it was made by humans who walk the same earth as we do."
 
Stream I Have Seen The Future And It Doesn't Work, courtesy of BrooklynVegan, at THIS LOCATION.
 
SHOCK NARCOTIC's I Have Seen The Future And It Doesn't Work will be released August 16th on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. For preorders visit the SHOCK NARCOTIC Bandcamp page at THIS LOCATION. For physical orders, visit the newly-launched Housecore Store HERE.
 
Forged in 2018, SHOCK NARCOTIC features former The Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Jeff Tuttle, Child Bite vocalist Shawn Knight, current Shit Life/former The Black Dahlia Murder drummer Zach Gibson, and Battlecross bassist Don Slater, spewing forth a vicious synthesis of grind, metal, and hardcore. Mastered by Brad Boatright (Converge, Integrity, Obituary) with guest backing vocals by Full Of Hell's Dylan Walker, the fourteen tracks that make up I Have Seen The Future And It Doesn't Work are a whirlwind of dystopian dread and existential nihilism. Decibel Magazine lauds its, "quick bursts of frustration...," and, "effective combination of past and present into one bowl of bitterness."
 
"...a great mix of blinding grind and sludgy, distorted-to-hell riffing..." -- Metal Injection
 
"Nihilistic and miserable, fans across the globe will see themselves diving into the pit for this one. SHOCK NARCOTIC are here to melt your face off..." -- Two Guys Metal Reviews
 
"The savagery on offer here has to be heard to be believed. Every chord, blastbeat, and hate filled vocal is there for one purpose only, to cause maximum carnage in the shortest amount of time. It's a good time for grindcore and SHOCK NARCOTIC are here to show they belong at the forefront of the pack." -- Astral Noize UK

ALLEGAEON Announces Apoptosis Tour Pt. II US Headlining Trek With Inferi And Paladin

8/14/2019

0 Comments

 
ALLEGAEON will kick off their Apoptosis Tour Pt. II US headlining tour this fall. Set to run from October 15th through November 5th, the trek features support from Inferi and Paladin.
 
Comments the band, "We're very excited to announce the second leg of headlining shows in support of our new album, Apoptosis. This will be the first extensive tour we have done since release and we couldn't be happier to be joined by our friends in Inferi and Paladin for the ride. Check out the dates below - we hope to see you all very soon!" 
 
ALLEGAEON w/ Inferi, Paladin:
10/15/2019 In The Venue - Salt Lake City, UT
10/17/2019 El Corazon - Seattle, WA
10/18/2019 Bossanova Ballroom - Portland, OR
10/19/2019 The Pin! - Spokane, WA
10/21/2019 Metro Opera House - Oakland, CA
10/22/2019 Hi Hat - Los Angeles, CA
10/23/2019 Club Red - Mesa, AZ
10/25/2019 89th Street Collective - Oklahoma City, OK
10/26/2019 Satellite Bar - Houston, TX
10/28/2019 The Haven - Orlando, FL
10/29/2019 529 - Atlanta, GA
10/31/2019 Milkboy - Philadelphia, PA
11/01/2019 Gold Sounds - Brooklyn, NY
11/02/2019 Montage Music Hall - Rochester, NY
11/03/2019 Crafthouse - Pittsburgh, PA
11/04/2019 The Varsity - Minneapolis, MN
11/05/2019 The Riot Room - Kansas City, MO
 
Tracked at Flatline Audio in Denver with long-serving producer Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Cephalic Carnage), Apoptosis is ALLEGAEON's fifth full-length and first to feature bassist Brandon Michael. "Musically, Brandon brings a huge new dimension," vocalist Riley McShane enthuses. "He has this wide breadth of music knowledge and stylistic proficiency that he draws from with excellent taste, and this makes a lot of the songs on Apoptosis come to life."  
 
The record also features a guest appearance by classical guitarist Christina Sandsengen, who duets with guitarist Greg Burgess on "Colors Of The Currents." "On this record, I was more open to new ideas that we might not have used in past," states guitarist Michael Stancel. "Rather than deleting something because 'it's not ALLEGAEON-y enough', I would take a step back and see if that idea fit the song and decide if it was worth keeping. With that mentality came some of my favorite songs, because I was less worried about if it fit into our old sound." This statement is borne out across the whole album, which while very much embodying the core ALLEGAEON sound that has drawn fans in over the course of their impressive career, it pushes into new territory, and does so with unerring confidence.
 
"Thematically, this record is all about contrast, and the music reflects that perfectly," says McShane. "The vocals are heavier than ever, but there are also more clean sections. The drums are faster than ever but also more dynamic, and the guitar playing is lower and slower than on most previous albums, but also provides long, melodic and beautiful sections throughout."

TOXIC HOLOCAUST To Release Primal Future: 2019 Full-Length Via Entertainment One October 4th; "Chemical Warlords" Lyric Video Now Playing + Massive North American Tour Supporting Gwar Nears

8/14/2019

0 Comments

 
Crossover thrash unit TOXIC HOLOCAUST will release its long-awaited new full-length, Primal Future: 2019, on October 4th via new label home, Entertainment One ("eOne").
 
The band Terrorizer called, "a whirlwind of booze, denim jackets and riffs," began kicking out the corrosive jams in basements and bedrooms some twenty years ago, building a punishing legacy of mutant thrash and filthy street punk that's outlasted the heydays of the genres that spawned them. Founder Joel Grind, the headband-wearing headbanger whose dedication to the one-man-band ethos gives the late Quorthon a run for his money, melting down the greatest punk metal crossover riff collection imaginable into nuclear ooze. With each successive release, Grind repurposes the most visceral strengths of speed, thrash, and punk through his own unique prism, making for new (and certainly not "nü") metal anthems that consistently reignite a circle-pitting feeding frenzy in the scene.
 
TOXIC HOLOCAUST 2.0 detonates like doomsday all over Primal Future: 2019, an ambitious new mission statement from the man whose guiding forces remain Discharge, Megadeth, Venom, English Dogs, Nuclear Assault, D.R.I., and G.B.H., all juiced by the unrelenting, feverish, urgent power of a modern metal trailblazer.
 
A dystopian technological takeover drives the album thematically, but the passionately delivered music is vintage TOXIC HOLOCAUST, taking things all the way back to the band's early origins. "When I started the band in 1999, I never imagined I'd still be doing it in 2019," Grind explains.
"It's been a long time coming but the new album is finally ready and it's sort of a culmination of my past twenty years of doing this band. Most notably, I decided to go back to my roots and record this entire album by myself and play all of the instruments like I did in the early days. It was a lot of fun and nostalgic and at the same time exciting to be able to apply everything I've learned over the years."  
Primal Future: 2019 was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Grind with artwork by Steve Crisp. In advance of its release, a lyric video for opening bruiser, "Chemical Warlords," has been unveiled. "'Chemical Warlords' opens the album and sets the tone for the rest of the record. My vision for this album was sort of a cyberpunk dystopian future. Enjoy!"
 
View "Chemical Warlords" at THIS LOCATION.
 
TOXIC HOLOCAUST's Primal Future: 2019 will be released on CD, digital, and vinyl formats. For preorders go to THIS LOCATION.

When LA Weekly compiled a list of the Top 10 Crossover Thrash Bands ever (a list that included Suicidal Tendencies), TOXIC HOLOCAUST was name checked as part of an elite few carrying the, "music that slam dancing was made for," torch, alongside Municipal Waste, Iron Reagan, and Trash Talk.
 
TOXIC HOLOCAUST was born when Grind was just seventeen years old. A rural teenager weaned on metal mix tapes, punk vinyl, and the Big 4, he was determined to conjure forth his vision of what an ideal band should sound like; what their iconography looks like; how the whole thing should feel. Early on, the frontman wrote, performed, and recorded all of the band's music, unleashing a series of seminal demos followed by more than a dozen albums, compilations, EPs, and split records, with now classic jams like "Acid Fuzz," "Nuke The Cross," and "Bitch" (heard on TV biker drama Sons Of Anarchy) amassing millions of streams and views on Spotify and YouTube alone.
 
Now, in the same year Linda Hamilton, James Cameron, and Arnold Schwarzenegger return to the Terminator franchise, TOXIC HOLOCAUST reemerges from the shadows with a freshly mutated reincarnation of its original spirit, one mechanically rebooted with Judgment Day-like analog fury.
 
"Where I grew up there wasn't really a music scene, which is a big reason why TOXIC started as a solo project. Once I was able to drive, I was able to go to Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, and other places with great record stores that stocked underground releases," Grind recalls. "It was then I started to discover bands like Aus-Rotten, Nausea, and other crust-punk, which I wanted to incorporate in the thrash I wanted to make. The best bands create something by throwing everything they love in a blender. Why steal from one or two bands, when you can forge your own sound from many inspirations?"
 
In the six years since Chemistry Of Consciousness (2013), an album Metal Injection hailed as, "a bottled up riot distilled into musical form," Grind sharpened his skills as an engineer, producer, and composer, working on everything from synthesizer-drenched ambience to epic film scores. "Primal Future takes listeners on a bit more of a 'journey,' but all of the elements are still there - the hooks, the riffs," he promises. "The arrangements are bigger."
 
TOXIC HOLOCAUST going back to its DIY roots blew the doors open on a new chapter for the man who is the band's nucleus. It's a sonic re-splitting of the atom, ushering in the next twenty toxic years of crossover thrash devastation.

Chilean Thrash Masters RIPPER to Release "Sensory Stagnation" on Unspeakable Axe Records

8/14/2019

0 Comments

 
Following the release of their acclaimed second full-length, Experiment of Existence, Chile's premier thrash band RIPPER are back with their first new material in three years. Sensory Stagnation feels like a continuation and evolution of the band's established sound.

Album track "The Unreal" is now streaming at this location.

The high-speed thrashing and intricate riffs are still there, as well as the philosophical lyrics and incomprehensibly good bass work. But the band has leaned a little further into their progressive influences, with a more pronounced presence of Atheist riding shotgun with their usual Teutonic and South American thrash forerunners. The result is an outing that feels rich despite a run time of roughly 20 minutes, loaded with some of the band's best playing and most fascinating ideas to date.

Track Listing:
1) Dissociation
2) The Unreal
3) Sensory Stagnation
4) Like A Sacrilege
5) Terror Streets

Sensory Stagnation is coming September 30th on CD, cassette and digital platforms from Unspeakable Axe Records, with a vinyl release to follow from Dark Descent Records.

"Boasting a robust, supercharged thrash engine, fueled by old school Kreator and Sepultura riffs, Chile’s Ripper do what their moniker implies, tearing it up with pinpoint precise thrash workouts delivered with the typical toughness and raw edge of their South American roots." - Angry Metal Guy

"South America? Space? Spine-shifting metal? Fuck yes!" -Toilet Ov Hell
RIPPER is:
Nicolás Villanueva - Drums
Venus Torment - Guitar /Vocals
Pablo Cortés - Bass
Daniel Poblete - Guitars

SCIMITAR Unleash Battle Track ‘Knights Collapse’ Off Upcoming Album ‘Shadows of Man’ Out Aug 23rd

8/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Canada’s SCIMITAR have been relatively quiet the past couple years as they toil away on their latest album. ‘Shadows of Man’ is now ready to be revealed to the world starting with the single ‘Knights Collapse’.
The harmonious blend of melodic death, black and folk metal is relentlessly bombastic and SCIMITAR are very excited to share this new chapter of their musical history with fans. Thematically it is quite a departure from the previous maritime-influenced debut album, ‘Black Waters’, and SCIMITAR believes their fans will enjoy the variation in atmosphere. They share what they want to accomplish:
“The main experience we are trying to convey is a feeling of grandiose originality. The single Knights Collapse, in particular, is quite an original blend of genres; all of which are not necessarily metal. Lyrically, ‘Shadows of Man’ is a statement of coherence superimposed over the divergent narratives of human experience and history. By exploring these narratives from vastly different areas, epochs and perspectives, we seek to demonstrate the futility of humanity’s divisions and the inevitability of history to repeat itself across our conceived boundaries.”
‘Knights Collapse’ is an original blend of melodic death metal with rap-inspired vocal rhythms. The song is a tongue-in-cheek narrative of the 1415 Battle of Agincourt, from the perspective of a British peasant-longbowman.

The single can be heard at the following links:
YouTube (Lyric Video)
Facebook (Lyric Video)
Spotify
Bandcamp (Pay What You Want Single Download)
‘Shadows of Man’ can be experienced as of August 23rd, 2019.
Show Dates:
Aug 22 – Centennial Square – Vancouver Island Metal Festival – Victoria, BC – info


Track Listing:
1. State of Nature
2. Knights Collapse
3. Flayed on the Birch Rack
4. Wandering at the Moon
5. To Cultivate with Spears
6. Shadows of Man I: Imperium
7. Shadows of Man II: Cataclysm
8. Where Ancient Spectres Lie
9. Mysterium, Tremendum et Fascinans

BIO:
Scimitar is a metal band hailing from the island capital of Victoria, BC, Canada. Combining influences from melodic-death, folk, and black metal; Scimitar features uncompromisingly heavy drums, high-rollicking fingerstyle bass, dual-guitar-driven harmonies, and gruff yet sharply enunciated harsh vocals that deliver lyrics based in historical fiction and fantasy.
Since 2008 they have firmly cemented their boots in the western Canadian music scene opening for the likes of Ensiferum, Septic Flesh, and Arkona; playing at festivals including Absolute Underground’s Rising Scum Fest, Vancouver Island Metal Festival and Armstrong Metal Fest and releasing two full-length albums, ‘Black Waters’ in 2010 and ‘Shadows of Man’ in 2019.
This musical package is manifested live through blistering energy and sword-edged focus on the audience. Most of Scimitar’s chronicle remains blank, as they have much more to offer the world of metal.
– 30 –
“What I would (and have for the last year or so), consider the top metal prospect of Canada, Scimitar, keep doing what you’re doing because greatness is on its way.”- Metal Master Kingdom
“Deliciously captivating as it is heavy, Scimitar throw their hats into the battle for the best Viking/Pagan Metal act – and they are on their way to winning it all in a bloody conflict that will kill most of the false metal that tries and horribly fails to deliver.” – MetalBite

PULCHRA MORTE: Death/Doom Unit Confirmed To Appear At Full Terror Assault Open Air; Band To Begin Recording New Album

8/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Death/doom practitioners PULCHRA MORTE will appear at this year's edition Full Terror Assault Festival at Cave-In-Rock, Illinois. The band will be performing on Thursday, September 5th, day one of the three-day even alongside the likes of such scene heavyweights as Exhorder, Krisiun, and Kataklysm. 
 
PULCHRA MORTE:
9/5/2019 Full Terror Assault - Cave-In-Rock, IL [info]

Immediately following FTA, PULCHRA MORTE will begin recording the follow-up to 2019's Divina Autem Et Aniles. Band guitarist and producer/engineer Jarrett Pritchard (1349, Goatwhore, Cannabis Corpse, Nocturnus A.D., etc.) will helm the board again as drummer Clayton Gore enters Matt Talbott's (Hum, Centaur) Earth Analog studio the following week. Recording will continue throughout September at both Earth Analog and Pritchard's own New Constellation studio in Orlando, Florida.

PULCHRA MORTE's debut, Divina Autem Et Aniles, was released in February 2019 and continues to reap critical acclaim, appearing on a host of "Best of 2019 So Far" lists. The follow-up is slated for an early 2020 release. Details to be unveiled in the coming weeks.  
 
Divina Autem Et Aniles is out now on CD and digitally via Ceremonial Records. For orders visit the PULCHRA MORTE Bandcamp page at THIS LOCATION where the album can be streamed in full.  
 
"With Pritchard behind the knobs... the record's in capable hands to conjure the somber serenades of early Anathema. But with PULCHRA MORTE, Pritchard takes melodic death-doom oddities like Visceral Evisceration's Incessant Desire For Palatable Flesh or Pyogenesis' Ignis Creato and polishes their rough casket wood." - Decibel   
 
"Everything on this record comes forward with an air of strength and authority...among the better debut metal albums in some time. Divina Autem Et Aniles certainly won't disappoint." - New Noise
 
"Brilliant riffs, beautiful melodies and a haunting atmosphere." - Brutalism
 
"...simply divine doom..." - Metal Insider 
 
"I did not merely collapse under its striking invocations of sorrow or the plodding, romanesque strings of melodic lead that highlight each track, PULCHRA MORTE's sourly dire debut pressed life's most troubling concerns as a rifle against my temples." - Grizzly Butts

Finland's Fantasy Metal EVERFROST Shares Anime Inspired Video 'Winterider'

8/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Since the release of debut album 'Blue Eyed Emotion', Finland's EVERFROST have been active on the stage and in the studio bringing listeners the follow-up their EP 'Appetite For Candlelight' and live DVD 'A Cold Night Out'. The band is now aiming to raise the bar from what an album experience is traditionally expected to be, with their second full length "Winterider" to be released via Rockshots Records on September 6th, 2019.

Before the album is officially released, the band have put together a new anime-inspired lyric video for the album's title track, which can be viewed here.

The band adds: 

"Winterider launches the listener into the world of Everfrost once again for a new story. A brutal winter that came and never left is disrupting the peace in Everfrost, bringing panic and depressing times to the residents. The main characters fight against the cold and sorrow however in this defiant anthem, trying to enjoy their young adult life in a hidden city no one is allowed to leave from. The song features huge keyboard strings, catchy guitar riffs and an anime-esque chorus, not to forget guitar and keyboard solo dueling and powerful gang cries. The song is a 'get up and go' for anyone who needs it in hard times."  

The lyric video follows their music video for their first single 'Cold Night Remedy', which can be viewed here.
EVERFROST's forthcoming album 'Winterider' features 10 songs of winter spiced melodic metal elevated to the extreme this time around! The tracklisting includes the band's first ballad, their fastest song to date and the first EVERFROST epic, clocking in at over 10 minutes.
The album is a unique undertaking for a metal/rock band, as it combines of a fully coherent manga comic and a conceptual album. The story features characters from their debut album 'Blue Eyed Emotion', and takes them on a desperate journey to survive a never-ending winter! This type of album has never been attempted before, and the band is pulling out all the stops to provide you with a truly unique experience in the world of comics and music!
Keyboardist Benji Connelly began the demo-process for 'Winterider' in the summer of 2017 following the single release 'Cold Night Remedy', which appears on the upcoming sophomore album. By March 2018, most of the songs and story manuscript had been finished, as was mentioned in an interview with Musicalypse after their taped show at The Circus, Helsinki. As of September last year, EVERFROST hit the studio and documented the entire 'making of' process for "Winterider", beginning with promo photoshoots lead by Tuonela Magazine's Laureline Tilkin. Making of "Winterider" album video here.

"Winterider" will be available in a Digipak Deluxe CD Edition with a 24-page booklet and includes a Manga Comic!
You can PRE ORDER it now at the Rockshots Records Official Store here.
