LENG-TCH-E-2017

Belgian deathgrind veterans LENG TCH’E have revealed new details behind their forthcoming new album. The new album, titled ‘Razorgrind’, will be released by Season of Mist worldwide on August 25.

LENG TCH’E‘s vicious ‘Razorgrind’ deploys all the classic genre hallmarks; light-speed drumming, rabid vocal barking, and a swarming guitar attack packed into ferocious bursts of aggression. ‘Razorgrind’ can be pre-ordered here now.

LENG TCH’E are streaming the first new track off ‘Razorgrind’. The track, a ripping rush of sonic violence titled “Gundog Allegiance” is streaming now at Decibel Magazine.

Regarding the new track, LENG TCH’E comment: “Here’s the first song off our new album ‘Razorgrind’. It’s a short and heavy grinder with our patented groove thrown into the mix. A violent song about violent tendencies in humanity when brainwashed by religion… alas all too relevant in today’s violent world. All we can say is: enjoy life and enjoy the grind!”

A fixture of the European grindcore scene for 15 years, LENG TCH’E was originally formed in 2001 by members of ABORTED. LENG TCH’E quickly gained a reputation in the underground through their brutal, laser-precise take on genre, describing their chaotic music as “razorgrind”.

After quickly gaining a large underground following through the release of a split 7” and the 4 full length albums that followed, LENG TCH’E has since became widely recognized as an international touring staple, having traveled the world over making appearances at prestigious metal fests such as Graspop, Summerbreeze and Maryland Deathfest. With their fifth album “Hypomanic” (Season Of Mist, 2010), produced by Russ Russell (NAPALM DEATH, BRUJERIA, DIMMU BORGIR) Belgium’s hardest hitting band honed their brutal songwriting yet again.

Bruce Dickinson Addresses Manchester Terrorist Attacks: “The main fact of life at an IRON MAIDEN show is that we don’t care where you’re from, we don’t care what religion you are, we don’t care what color you are…”

During IRON MAIDEN‘s May 24th show in Cardiff, Wales frontman Bruce Dickinson addressed the recent Manchester terror attack, in which 22 people were killed and 59 injured at pop star Ariana Grande’s concert, reported Bravewords.com. Watch the video below.

Dickinson: “The main fact of life at an Iron Maiden show is that we don’t care where you’re from, we don’t care what religion you are, we don’t care what color you are and we don’t care what you had for breakfast. If you are here tonight, then, frankly, we all come in peace, alright?

So, with respect to the – I’m only gonna refer to it probably once – the awful shit that happened the other night in Manchester, the biggest response that we can make to the bullshit and the people who want to hate and who want to destroy is to give them back love and joy and rock and roll.”

Rising young metallers NEXT TO NONE recently announced the release of their forthcoming second album ‘Phases’ through InsideOutMusic in Europe and EMP Label Group in North America on July 7, 2017. This comes off the back of the band’s first ever European tour alongside label-mates Haken, as well as forthcoming dates supporting Mike Portnoy’s much anticipated Shattered Fortress show. The band will also hit the road in the US in July.

Now the band are pleased to reveal the first new single “The Apple”, and you can watch the video for the track here:

The band comments: “Our new album incorporates many different styles from metal to prog. The Apple shows the heavier side of the band while still having a melodic chorus.”

Phases Track Listing:
1. 31
2. Answer Me
3. The Apple
4. Beg
5. Alone
6. Kek
7. Clarity
8. Pause
9. Mr Mime
10. Isolation
11. Denial
12. The Wanderer

The full list of upcoming tour dates alongside Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress are as follows:
28th June – Koko, London, UK
1st July – Trianon, Paris, France
2nd July – Slagthuset, Malmo, Sweden
3rd July – Kulturfabrik, Esch Sur Alzette, Sweden
4th July – Teatro Della Luna, Milan, Italy
5th July – Z7, Pratteln, Switzerland
6th July – 013, Tilburg, Holland

Formed in 2012, and based in Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, the foursome released their well-received debut ‘A Light In The Dark’ during 2015 on InsideOut. But if this set a template for the band’s style, then this has now been excitingly stretched.

“We actually began to write songs for the new record as soon as we finished the first one,” explains drummer Max Portnoy. As previously, this involved the duo of Portnoy and vocalist/keyboard player Thomas Cuce collaborating in this part of the process. And, also to some extent mirroring ‘A Light In The Dark’, there’s a partial concept here. “On the previous album we had six tracks which were lyrically linked. But it did not stretch throughout all the songs. This time, we have four tracks which deal with the idea of grief. However, that isn’t reflected on the entire record.”

The new 12-track album (including two short instrumental passages) marks the recording debut of new guitarist Derrick Schneider who replaced Ryland Holland last year, (the line-up is completed by bassist Kris Rank). “Ryland wanted to go to college, and is now going to Berklee College Of Music, whereas the rest of us wanted to be in the band full-time. So, there was no way that he could carry on with us. And we were very lucky to find someone immediately to take over. He was recommended to us by Bumblefoot (the ex-Guns N Roses guitarist who guested on the first record) and he was the only guy we tried out that fit perfectly. Musically and personally he fit straight in with us. One of the things he does so well is shred on guitar but he also has great voice and plays very heavy which has made a difference to our style and sound.”

Although the album was mixed by the Grammy nominated Adam “Nolly” Getgood (Periphery), the band have produced themselves this time, a decision Portnoy insists has been of immeasurable help. “It’s a collective production, with all of the band having their say. We had strong ideas as to how we wanted this album to turn out, and if we’d brought in an outside producer, then this could have changed. So, it was best for us to stick together and follow our own vision.” The recording process started early last October, with the drum parts being recorded at Neal Morse’s Radiant Studios in Nashville; these sessions were engineered by Jerry Guidroz. “We then spent about four months at Thomas’ home studio (Battery Powered Studios) doing the rest of the work; Thomas was the engineer for those sessions. We were in there every day until 3am. I don’t know how Kris coped, because he was going to school after we’d finished in the studio and getting just a couple of hours’ sleep.

Portnoy believes Next To None have become a sharper and more challenging band with ‘Phases’. “I suppose you could say that we’ve done here is do more of everything we did before, but the greater experience we now have has helped us become better at what we want to do. This time around, there are no guests featured, as was the case on ‘A Light In The Dark’, and as it’s just the four of us you are getting more of what we want to express to everyone, musically and lyrically.”

Thrash/Punk Duo SATANARCHIST Release Single “Triumph”, New Album “First Against The Wall” Out June 2nd

Portland-based SATANARCHIST supplies the public with a vicious new dose of their punk-infused thrash metal concoction with “Triumph”, the latest single from their impending second album, “First Against The Wall”, which sees independent release next week. The new single is spilled by popular underground metal portal, No Clean Singing, as the band prepares to assault Canada on a cross-country tour.

Recorded and mixed by Fester at Haywire Studios (Usnea, Rabbits, Stoneburner) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Integrity, Nails), “First Against The Wall” will lure diehard blackthrash worshippers and devotees of crust/d-beat punk and social activism into its unrelenting attack. In addition to nine searing SATANARCHIST anthems, “First Against The Wall” comes to a finale with a cover of the macabre ballad “Silver Ships Of Andilar” by Texas country legend Townes Van Zandt.

Satanarchist-First-Against-the-Wall

Yet another example of the horrifyingly angry and high-quality anthems of protest and rage in response to the actions carried out by our president, SATANARCHIST’s politically-enraged “Triumph” hammers forth from the speakers upon the listener, making their feelings on the current US administration unmistakable. Offers No Clean Singing of the song, “‘Triumph’ is a blazing-fast fireball of ripping, writhing blackened thrash with a palpable sense of rage mixed with rampant destructive tendencies. Whiplashing arpeggios and molten soloing blend with caustic vocal fury. And then the song changes… slowing, and becoming brooding, bruised, doomed, and even more memorable (but still punctured by eruptions of Nunziata’s turbocharged percussive mayhem).”

Discharge SATANARCHIST’s “Triumph” at THIS LOCATION.

Also stream “Tempest Of Sorrow” at Decibel Magazine RIGHT HERE, and stream “Paradox” and preorder the album at THIS LOCATION.

SATANARCHIST will independently release First Against The Wall digitally and on CD on June 2nd, while embarked on a cross-Canada tour in support of the album. The tour kicked off this Friday, May 26th and runs through June 10th, the first leg of the tour alongside Spinesplitter, and the rest of the dates see them paired with Hard Charger. And, just announced is a hometown record release show for the album on June 14th, which sees SATANARCHIST joining Barghest and Recluse. Watch for additional tour dates to be announced in the coming weeks.

Formed by two former members of Spectral Tombs, SATANARCHIST surges with music that embodies the band’s philosophies of atheism, Satanism and anarchism reflected in a sound that fuses black metal, anarcho-punk and thrash. The follow-up to their 2014-released Making Threats At Punks Again debut, on SATANARCHIST’s First Against The Wall brutalizer, drummer/lyricist Mark Nunziata and guitarist/vocalist John Edwards maintain a similar hybrid of rabid metal/punk styles as before, but the material exhibits a progression in the intricacy and complexity of the songwriting. The lyrics deepen into a more straightforwardly political realm addressing environmental devastation and ecological sustainability, the rise of fascism in US politics, the damage wrought by the institution of religion, and the weight of death and loss.
