Jägermeister recently hosted its latest “Ice Cold” studio session, where rock bands and icons meet for the first time in a recording studio and “break the ice” by working on a track together. The “Ice Cold” studio session featured British heavy metal band MALEFICE and football legend Marcus Hahnemann and took place at London’s famous Strongroom Studios. Hahnemann, the U.S. international goalkeeper who is currently playing for Everton, is a well-known heavy metal fan, but it was the first time he had ever taken his passion for metal into a recording studio.
Said Hahnemann: “[It was] a great day. I wanted to come down and just see what recording would be like, piecing a track together. I had an awesome time.”
Added MALEFICE vocalist Dale Butler: “[The session went] really well. It exceeded expectations. We knew Marcus was going to be good, but he was actually better than even he firstly anticipated.”

4ARM have unveiled yet another video from their recently released album ‘Submission For Liberty’.
The clip titled ‘Raise A Fist’, which you can watch below, was once again produced and edited by Steve Ravic and Vesna Trokter and the crew of Majestic Films. It was filmed at the prestigious Palace Theatre in Melbourne, Australia of March this year.
Commenting on the clip is drummer Michael Vafiotis “There is just a real energy and vibe playing this song live and definitely a favorite of mine. The idea came up to visually capture this song live and show some of the intensity we produce at each show and I know it will do just that for all out there watching.”
The Montreal-based technical death metal band Derelict have released a third streaming single from their upcoming album, Perpetuation, set for release on April 20th, 2012.“Spoils Of War” can be streamed HERE.
“We definitely went all-out on the brutality for this track”, comments Derelict vocalist Eric Burnet. “Max (Lussier, guitar) brought us a great mix of technical parts and straight-up headbanging riffs. The lyrics are about how most of our societies are built on top of the bones of previous ones that we destroyed.”

Leonese Folk Doom Metal band ‘LLVME’ offer us their latest instalment to their discography entitled ‘Yía De Nuesu’. ‘LLVME’ meaning ‘Fire’ in the native language of the ancient kingdom of Leon has up to date released 2 other albums with this being their third, in this beautiful language. With a mixture of instruments ranging from the Guitars, Violins and choirs up to the Bagpipes and Hurdy-Gurdy, expressions and characteristics really come to light with this album as a whole and become very colourful indeed.
With the super expressive instruments starting this album followed up with the vocal section of ‘Montejo’ and the female vocals adjoining before the very gentle phrasing of the violins, into the solo section just leaves you struck for words. A truly inspiration first track!
There is no doubt in my mind what-so-ever that the impact of this album has definitely altered my view on ‘Doom and Folk Metal’ entirely. As you progress through this album you are so heavily given a huge range of emotions and feelings so much so that you are left with a feeling of ‘I’m going to go find more music like this!’
With a mixture of vocal combinations between the male screams and growls and the gentle almost subtle female vocals riding the background this album has it all.
Having always been a big fan of the bagpipes especially when played well ‘Vettonia’ was a real joy for me, with the breakdowns of instruments controlling an absolute madness within heavy rhythms and the eastern type scales this track is brilliant as is the whole album. ‘Pramoséu’ is another great song entirely upon itself, taking you to the streets and leaving you to take in the sights, smells and atmosphere’s of a world without limits.
If you like to be taken onto a journey of discovery then this will be perfect for you. With the lead guitar sections worthy of some of the most beautiful tones you will ever hear in a lifetime, to the rhythms that take you right into the fields like that of ‘Purtiellu De La Llïaltá’ and vocal mixtures so well created, then this album is most definitely for you.
