AEON GODS have released a visualizer video for “Aeon Gods”, first single taken from the debut album “King Of Gods” to be released on November 22nd by Scarlet Records. PRE-SAVE/PRE-ORDER

In this epic metal anthem, the Babylonian god Marduk leads his valiant warriors into a fierce battle against the dark mother goddess Tiamat. With thunderous battle chants and heavy guitar riffs, the song proclaims the glory of the Aeon Gods – making it a true outstanding heavy metal hymn.

After the long-standing symphonic metal unit Aeternitas dissolved, their masterminds Anja and Alex Hunzinger immediately conjured up a new concept and found a different musical home built around a cinematic sound flavored by elements of power and symphonic metal: Aeon Gods emerged as the modern messengers of the ancient mythological gods, infusing new blood into the epic metal scene.

“King Of Gods” brings the timeless Babylonian legends to life and allows the listener to experience the grand battles between the gods, where celestial forces clash and destinies are forged. The German band narrates these tales through an imperial blend of strong & catchy choruses, powerful beats, and majestic sounds – enter the new prophets of the word, enter Aeon Gods!

Italy’s Depressive Black Metal poets NOTTURNO Return with New Album “Our”, set to be released on October 6th via Hypnotic Dirge Records.

One year to the date of their last album, the newest chapter in the story of NOTTURNO will see the light of day once again this year on October 6.

Following “Obsessions” and “Inside”, the new album entitled “Our” continues the exploration of the human psyche and its obsessive compulsions.

Similarly to previous NOTTURNO albums, the sound is rooted in atmospheric and depressive Black Metal with the addition of classical instruments incorporated into the compositions only adding to the rich sonic tapestry, though perhaps never as seamlessly as on this latest album. 

Kjiel’s vulnerable and desperate vocals hover over the musical layers creating a vivid reflection of anguish and melancholy.

TRACKS:
01. Adagio (03:53)
02. Inside (07:39)
03. Anymore (10:14) 
04. Paranoia (08:08) 
05. Doors (08:15)

New highly fascinating compositions – wonderful organic produced by Austrian sound magician Stefan TraunmĂźller in his renowed Soundtempel studio.

BAND LINE-UP:
Kjiel • Vocals
Vittorio Sabelli • Guitars, Bass, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Piano, Keys
Sven Vinat aka Aeternus • Drums

Maybe we are getting old or something, dunno… Anyway, let’s fu**ing rock! // Martin & Centinex

Italian Progressive Post-Rockers STRANIA Reveal First Details of Upcoming Debut Album “Acceptance”

Italian progressive post-rockers STRANIA will release their debut album “Acceptance” on October 18th via Diotima Records! Today the band reveals the first details of their first opus, alongside the tracklisting.

The band shared:
“Our first album, “Acceptance”, is a collection of songs composed between spring 2021 and early 2023 and revolves around the personification of nature and the conflictual relationship between mankind and nature herself, whose role constantly shifts from being a saviour and merciful mother to that of a cruel and destructive entity in the eyes of man.
We recorded the instrumental parts of the album at “La Fucina Studio” between April and May of 2023. Not having an official singer during that period, the vocals were recorded between June and July of the same year by four local singers, each singing on one of the songs, thus giving every piece a certain feel thanks to their different styles and musical backgrounds. All the tracks were mixed and mastered at the same studio by the end of the summer.
The hard work, patience and sacrifice that went into the composition (often troubled and complex) and the recording of this album are rewarded by our trust and love toward music as a whole, and we hope that “Acceptance” and our future works can reach and inspire as many people as possible.”

“Acceptance” Tracklist:

  1. The Tide’s Echo 7:22
  2. It’s Meant To Be 6:40
  3. Metempsychosis 4:21
  4. Nothing Remains 7:38
  5. Lost At Sea 10:34
    Total length 36:35

More details to be revealed soon, stay tuned!

++++++

September 13th, STRANIA unleashed the first single ‘Metempsychosis’, from the debut album, featuring Mattia Braghero as guest vocalist.

In case you missed, stream the single on your favorite streaming platforms: https://bfan.link/metempsychosis-1

The band on ‘Metempsychosis’:
“Metempsychosis is a song that tells the story of an old man who ventures into the woods to reunite with Mother Nature in his final moments, allowing her to take care of his body and soul. As he walks deeper into the forest, he feels observed by the surrounding trees, which are the reincarnations of those who, like him, sought final peace in that place.”

Further news on STRANIA’s activities will be revealed in the coming weeks!

More information:

STRANIA is an Italian progressive post-rock band, formed in the province of Florence by Andrea Borgioli, Mattia Nicolini and Giacomo Bracci in the summer of 2019. The band reached its current four-piece lineup in late summer 2022.

The members of the band have a very heterogeneous musical culture, but the meeting point between them is highlighted in the post-rock genre, which leaves a lot of expressive and compositional freedom to the group. In fact, all the songs are composed in a collective creative process in the rehearsal room, which can sometimes even last whole day sessions, taking care of the smallest detail.

Current lineup:

  • Andrea Borgioli, guitar;
  • Mattia Nicolini, guitar;
  • Giacomo Bracci, drums;
  • Jacopo D’Arpino, bass.

IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT Release New Single And Video ‘Eye Of Mars’

On September 19th, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT have released a new standalone single with an accompanying video: EYE OF MARS. 

Stream the new single here: https://imperialtriumphant.lnk.to/EyeOfMars-SingleNe

IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT comments: “It is seen through the ages that universal truth rises to the top. With this in mind, leaders of civilization are divided in control methods deployed through various mechanisms, some for the sake of humanity and some for the sake of interests that don’t necessarily benefit humanity. The sum total of the entire apparatus then reaches a boiling point, after which time agendas are revealed.
On a much higher level exists that which lies beyond the five senses, beyond the science and materialism matrix. Many sacred texts worthy of protection by the people have endured while existing in relative obscurity as allegory. The knowledge gets passed down through generational cycles and ultimately makes visible that collective connection in all the world and all of us. This lights up the consciousness with a venerable force like electricity and music. Under the watchful eye, Mars slew the dragon, and seizing its teeth out of the great gaping mouth, scattered them broadcast like seeds unto us.”

SWALLOW THE SUN have released another new single taken from their upcoming album SHINING out
October 18th. Fans can now stream and watch the music video for  MelancHoly.

Juha Raivio comments on the new song: â€œThis song talks about how melancholy can be comforting, safe and even a beautiful place. But when it turns into your God, it will surely kill you.” 

Mikko Kotamäki adds on “MelancHoly”: â€œI’ve heard these days people call great and catchy songs bangers. Well, this one truly is one.” 

Listen to the new single here: https://swallowthesun.lnk.to/Shining-albumNe

SWALLOW THE SUN recently announced details surrounding their eagerly awaited new album SHINING out October 18th. The new record is produced and mixed by Dan Lancaster (Bring Me the Horizon, Muse, Enter Shikari, etc.), mastered by Tony Lindgren (Fascination Street Studios) and recorded by Juho Räihä at SoundSpiral Audio, except vocals recorded by Dan Lancaster.

Juha Raivio adds on the upcoming album SHINING:  â€œAfter our last album it soon became clear to me that writing another Moonflowers album will kill me. So, I made a quiet wish to myself that if there ever will be any new music then please have a little bit of mercy on yourself rather than be that infinite black hole that will suck out the rest of your remaining light and soul just for the sake of it. Musically this album shines like a glacier diamond and has that power and punch that feels like a kick in your face! While lyrically the album deals how fearing life will eventually kill you and how melancholy can become your God.
