Lu Silver comments:
“A man and a woman are in love, but her soul is broken. This world runs too fast and it’s easy to feel lonely and misunderstood. He seeks her lips, whispers his love for her, tells her that it’s not possible to understand everything…He looks into her eyes, she is lost, he can see her loneliness.”
Lu Silver‘s brand new album “Luneliness” will be coming out on May 6th and is available for pre-order HERE
June 3 marks the release of “Apokalyps”, the brand new album by Swedish thrash metallers DEFIATORY.
In support of the upcoming album, the band has released a lyric video for the track “Only War”. Listen here:
“Apokalyps”, the third installment by the band from Umeå, evolves from their previous two releases, adding a more sinister atmosphere, harsh melodies and ruthless tempo, as they explore the coming of the ultimate end of the world. So brace yourselves as the Swedish quartet takes you on a journey through an ever changing landscape of war, destruction and invasion from beyond the veil.
The album was produced and recorded by DEFIATORY, mixed by Patrik Wall and mastered by Erik Lindberg at Ekens Ljudkross. “Apokalyps” will be released via Black Lion Records on CD//Digital, with vinyl and tape to follow sometime in late fall and early winter. Pre-orders are available HERE
Just recently, Italian Radio J.App interviewed Dublin based alt rockers RITUAL EFFECT on Emergy Broadcasting show, talking about band’s background, Irish music scene, songwriting process, grunge and rock nowadays and last but not least, about the earlier efforts + new EP ‘Too Late to Turn Back‘.
The 1-hour live interview is now available for streaming, below.
On March 4th, RITUAL EFFECT unleashed their brand new lyric video for ‘Brand New’, taken from Upcoming EP ‘Too Late to Turn Back’!
The band comments: “Brand New is unleashed today! The song is about being sure you are following the right path but when you reach your destination, nothing is as expected. We couldn’t wait to get this new tune out to the world, and it won’t be long until the rest of the EP is released. Brace yourselves 🙂”

Earlier the band revealed on ‘Too Late to Turn Back’ EP: “This is the “difficult second album” but not in the traditional sense. The difficulty we faced with this one was the crazy amount of lockdowns and lack of in-person contact we had thoughout the whole process.
It’s a pretty different set of tunes to the first album. “Fossils” had lots of fast paced 4 minute rock songs. These compositions are longer and heavier and go in more directions. And unlike the last album, Paul was with us from the very start of the writing process here, and it shows!
The biggest thing we’ve learned through this recording is that nothing can ever be taken for granted. It’s been a year and a half since the last time we got on stage together and this whole experience has just made us hungrier and more determined than ever. We believe that there’s an energy to these tracks that reflects that, and we chose the title “Too Late To Turn Back” because it represents where we stand right now as a band – all in, focused, and ready to seize our moment.
We are very excited to finally have this mini-album ready for the world. Hope you enjoy it!”

Dublin based RITUAL EFFECT fuse aspects of grunge and metal together with catchy riffs, fast paced songs, driving choruses and high energy shows. Since the band’s inception in late 2017, they have written a massive amount of songs, clocked up a hefty amount of gigs, and they have been invited back everywhere that they have played, receiving enthusiastic feedback from far and wide. Each band member has previously written and recorded with different ensembles around the country but none could resist the call to join this new family. Each of the members has their own style and very different qualities which have been intricately wound into Ritual Effect. They are professional to work with, fun to hang out with, and awesome to witness. 2019 saw the band enter the studio for their first serious project, their debut album “Fossils”. This 15 track album is a heavy, melodic nod to their past and sets the pace for a high speed, full on sonic assault to the future. With their song bank close to full storage, a follow up mini album ‘Too Late to Turn Back’ will hit the shelves, song by song, in early 2022. There is no limit to what this band is capable of in the rehearsal room, on stage or on tape. Come join the Ritual and embrace the Effect.
Florida death metal juggernauts INHUMAN CONDITION have revealed plans to release their eagerly awaited sophomore album, “Fearsick,” on July 15th via Listenable Insanity Records. The veteran all-star trio, which features vocalist/drummer Jeramie Kling (VENOM INC, EX-DEO, THE ABSENCE), guitarist Taylor Nordberg (DEICIDE, THE ABSENCE) and bassist Terry Butler (OBITUARY, DEATH, MASSACRE, SIX FEET UNDER), makes their return following their critically praised 2021 debut, “Rat°God,” and multiple supporting tours.
Kling comments on the impending music:
“”With the power of 10 diesel trucks, this machine is on a warpath! Get ready for the next death metal assault.”
Also unveiled today is the album’s mind-blowing, grotesque artwork created by artist Dan “Babe Ruth” Goldsworthy (CORPSEGRINDER, ACCEPT, CRADLE OF FILTH).
Goldsworthy comments on the cover art:
“The basic concept for the “Fearsick” cover was brought to me by Jeramie, and evolved as we worked on it. It picks up from where the last album left off, and shows the main character’s further decay and descent to pure evil. He’s further along in his process of constructing his domain of bodies with a glimpse of the Rat°God setting through the archway. Once again, the aim was to create a cover that evokes the spirit of the classic death metal albums of the late 80s and early 90s.”
New music and additional details about the record are forthcoming. Stay tuned.
