ENDEZZMA’s first release, the “Alone” MCD, appeared five years ago, and the 2012 release of the full length album “Erotik Nekrosis” on Agonia Records on the 28th November in Europe (5th February in the USA), was delayed by a series of setbacks, culminating in the tragic and untimely death of Nefas earlier this year. The line up on the album includes Morten Shax on vocals, Trondr Nefas (Urgehal, Beastcraft, Vulture Lord) and Thomas Myrvold (Vulture Lord) on guitars, Sregroth (Urgehal, Åsmegin) on bass,  Jarle Uruz Byberg  (Urgehal, ex-Shining) on drums and L.F.Frøislie (Wobbler, In Lingua Mortua) on synth.

French sowers of intelligent, distinctive, and airless black metal AOSOTH will release their new album, “IV: Arrow In Heart”, on April 16 via Agonia Records. The CD is a natural improvement over the band’s previous release, entitled “III”, which already was “a major step forward for Aosoth in creating their own distinct sound” (Sputnik Music).

Commented the band: “We’ve spent such a huge amount of time on defining a darker identity, yet open to a wider range of influences. Those tracks still haunt us, as delivering them was a painful and excruciating experience, and left some of us even physically wounded… Which gives that album even more of a spiritual value, as it involved a form of sacrifice.” They added: “This fourth full-length release is without a doubt a great step forward for us in term of music writing, and sound.”

“IV: Arrow In Heart” consists of 6 original tracks with a running time of 56 minutes.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. An Arrow in Heart
02. One With The Prince With A Thousand Enemies
03. Temple of Knowledge
04. Under The Nails and Fingertips
05. Broken Dialogue 1
05. Broken Dialogue 2
06. Ritual Marks of Penitence

AGONIA Records has issued the following:

Italy’s TOMBSTONE HIGHWAY is the newest member of the Agonia Records roster and a fresh addition to the label’s expanding profile. The band emerges from the muddy shores of The Po River in Piacenza and draws strong inspiration from the rural and folklore parts of its homeland. Their upcoming debut album is a classic blend of feisty Stoner/Southern Rock and Doom Metal, with catchy guitar solos and old-school heavy metal parts that may remind of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Corrison Of Conformity, Pride and Glory, Down, Black Sabbath, or even ZZ Top riffage. Apart from Hard Rock instruments, the band uses also a banjo and Hammond organs.

3 songs (raw and unmastered versions) from TOMBSTONE HIGHWAY can be heard at their Reverb Nation profile at: http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_songs/1814120

The release date of the debut album entitled Ruralizer is scheduled for this Autumn. The band has issued the following statement with regards to the signing: We are pleased to announce that we signed with Agonia Records for the release of our first album ‘Ruralizer’. We’re very proud of how the album came out and we strongly believe it’s the perfect way to begin our legacy. People into heavy, ballsy southern-tinged Hard Rock should take note!

DEN SAAKALDTE Signs With AGONIA RECORDS

Norwegian black metallers DEN SAAKALDTE have inked a deal with Agonia Records.

The band, which earlier in the year parted ways with vocalist Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING) and replaced him with Øyvind Hægeland (SPIRAL ARCHITECT, ARCTURUS, SCARIOT), has released the following statement regarding its new label home:

“Many dramatic changes occurred during the last year in DEN SAAKALDTE‘s reality.

“When Niklas decided no longer to continue with the band, many things passed from our minds… even just dropping the whole damn thing off.

“After the band discussing and coming to the conclusion that all the members wanted DEN SAAKALDTE to continue being active as a way of artistic expression but also as in a lifestyle attitude for us, we decided that certain things had to be put down and start all over again.

“Agonia Records that has been following our ways and sharing our ideas on how things should be, gave us the opportunity to build the foundations for ‘Kapittel II:Faen I Helvete’ on solid ground. Filip [Jesion, Agonia head honcho] showed to us with quite devotion, the how much he wanted the band in Agonia Records‘ roster.

“We are looking forward to start with the recordings and we are even more excited to hear soundscapes, having now Mr. Hægeland as frontman.

“The future looks dark… and quite pissed off.”
