RAWMOOR Sign with Wormholedeath for Release Globally Debut Album “En Route”

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: RawMoor. Leave a comment

Prepare for a cataclysmic fusion of symphonic grandeur and unrelenting darkness as RawMoor, the rising titans of symphonic blackened death metal, announce their signing with Wormholedeath Records and the global release of their debut album, En Route, set to storm the gates on May 2, 2025.

“We are pleased to announce the signing of our pact with Wormholedeath, to now have their force backing our descent upon the world!” said the band” We brewed and smoldered in silence long under the black stone that roofs every hollow hosting aspiring combatants, battling for the honor of carrying the torch for Satan, with our flame nigh quenching in the process, until our menace could no longer be contained. We drew the admiration of our audience and they whipped us on until finally, we burst open through that stone, our release now on display for all to see.

That much can be accomplished by anyone. But Carlo and Wormholedeath soon got on our trail, offering us a backing that now elevates our possibilities to compete for a place among the greatest of names in Black Metal. They pave our way, map us our roads, and guide us to growth in darkness.

Our vow from here on out is to deliver our power in full, to burn as the brightest of flame until our fuel runs out and another takes our place. This will be our unending service. For Satan.”

“En Route” delves into themes of treachery and betrayal, both on national and personal scales, alongside aspirations for sovereignty and critiques of left-wing ideology. Unapologetically political, it stands as an anti-religion, pro-freedom statement.

Musically, it embraces the essence of Symphonic Black Metal drawing inspiration from Dimmu Borgir, Agathodaimon, Windir, Cradle of Filth, and Finntroll. The result is a dark, cinematic soundscape that balances grandeur with aggression.

Lyrically, the album is born from Moordrawn’s deep frustration and disillusionment with a world spiraling into decay.

Tracklist

  1. Id
  2. Frostglade
  3. En Route
  4. Forth
  5. Global Necrosis
  6. Pine Branches

Experience a glimpse of the storm with the official En Route teaser:

Emerging from the shadows of the metal underground, RawMoor has forged a reputation for blending haunting orchestral melodies with blistering death metal savagery. Their debut album, En Route—initially self-released in September 2024—captivated fans and critics alike, earning acclaim for its seamless marriage of brutality and sophistication. Now, armed with the backing of Wormholedeath, RawMoor is poised to ascend to new heights, bringing their apocalyptic soundscapes to a global audience.

What began in 2016 as the solo endeavor of multi-instrumentalist Moordrawn (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, orchestration) evolved into a formidable alliance with longtime collaborator Brim (vocals). Together, they finished En Route, a concept album steeped in treachery, sovereignty, and existential rebellion themes. Guest guitarist Renton (tracks 2, 3, 6) adds searing solos, further cementing the album’s dynamic range.

“RawMoor embodies the raw intensity and artistic ambition that defines extreme metal,” says Carlo Bellotti, CEO of Wormholedeath. “En Route is not just an album—it’s a manifesto. We’re thrilled to amplify their vision and introduce their chaos to the world.”

RawMoor Is:
Moordrawn: Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Orchestration
Brim: Vocals
Renton: Guest Soloist (Tracks 2, 3, 6)

After catching Bloodstain’s blistering live show in Stockholm, Entombed guitarist and Threeman Recordings founder Alex Hellid was so impressed, that he has now signed the band to a management and production agreement.

“We have huge respect for what Alex has done with Entombed, and for him to believe in us and want to work with us is surreal. We can’t wait for what’s to come!” Bloodstain comment.

“Bloodstain have the raw energy and ambition that makes things happen,“ Alex Hellid adds. “With our Threeman team behind them, it’ll be exciting to see what we can build together.”

Formed in late 2023, Bloodstain are already making waves in the Swedish metal scene, driven by the word-of-mouth success of their self-released debut EP, I Am Death, which has surpassed 500,000 streams on Spotify.

Their debut full-length album is planned for release later this year. Meanwhile, writing and recording are already in full swing, with the first taste of what’s to come, Lies Bleeding Through—a crushing 6-minute mega-metal tour de force — set for release on Friday, April 18, 2025!

KING GARCIA Unleash Music Video for Title Track of Debut Album “Hamelin”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 16, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: KING GARCIA. Leave a comment

Greek instrumental progressive rock band KING GARCIA has released a music video for the title track of their highly anticipated debut album, “Hamelin”. Following the well-received “Sweat“, the Athens-based four-piece presents another glimpse into their atmospheric soundscapes with “Hamelin”. The album will be released globally on April 18th via ViciSolum Productions.

“Hamelin” is now available on all major digital platforms and is accompanied by a visually appealing music video perfectly capturing the spirit of the track. Watch the video here:

The band comments on the title track: “Hamelin was one of the last songs we wrote for this album, and it became such an integral part of our sound that we chose to name the album after it. The lore behind the myth of the Pied Piper is a dark and mysterious story that can be interpreted in many ways: The musician who helps a community get rid of its’ problems and yet the people in charge punish him and mock him. The revenge he takes by luring their children and taking them to a land far away with the use of music. This German legend can be applied to many contexts, both social and political. Artists have always been treated as outcasts, as peasants. But as art can move the world, it can stop it too. Art can save and it can destroy. Art unites and it separates. It is crucial to understand that the way power is used -or misused- is what separates the saviour from the tyrant.“

KING GARCIA is a quartet that sings its soul out without using any lyrics. Formed on a cold October evening in 2019, the members bring a wealth of experience from their previous and current projects, including Mother of Millions (Kostas), POEM (Kamil), Tardive Dyskinesia (Kornilios), and Bandallusia (Alex). The band crafts instrumental, cinematic music that gazes at red-dawn skies. At times soothing like a hot summer afternoon, their sound can also morph into a dark and ominous cold evening. The scene zooms out and into the presence of light, a moody, mellow spark at the end of a long tunnel.

“Hamelin” will be out on April 18 via ViciSolum Productions and was produced, mixed, and mastered by the acclaimed Hector D. Tracking took place at Noisy King Music Residence and Eightyard studios.

Pre-orders for the album are available at THIS LOCATION

King Garcia are:
Alex Orfanos – Trumpet & Clarinet
Kamil Kamieniecki – Drums
Kornilios Kiriakidis – Bass
Kostas Konstantinidis – Guitar

Guest Musicians:
Konstantinos Lazos – Gaida & Kaval
Iakovos Molybakis – Percussion

Shortly After Netflix Success DJERV Return with Game-Changing Track ‘Reignbreaker’ for New Action Game

They’ve collaborated with some of the world’s biggest game companies, been nominated for the Norwegian Grammys and the Norwegian Music Publishing Awards, and now Djerv is ready to conquer the gaming world once again.

Today, they release “Reignbreaker” – a powerful, raw track crafted for the upcoming action game of the same name. This is a track that not only sets the standard for game soundtracks in 2025 but also solidifies Djerv’s position as one of Norway’s most exciting bands and a leader in Norwegian music-gaming collaborations.

Listen to the single here: https://ffm.to/reignbreaker

An Explosive Track for a Game That Challenges

Djerv is known for blending intense rock, metal, and gaming culture in a way that has captured the attention of an international audience. With previous collaborations like “Get Jinxed” (League of Legends), “THE REDHOOD” (Nikke: Goddess of Victory), and “Rebel Heart” (Arcane: Season 2), they’ve made their mark on some of the world’s most iconic games. This has led to nominations in 2025 for both the Norwegian Grammys in the “International Success of the Year” category and the Norwegian Music Publishing Awards in the “Sync of the Year” category.

Now they’re taking it to the next level with “Reignbreaker,” a track that combines metal, Agnete’s iconic vocals, and driving rhythms with an uncompromising melody that mirrors the game’s rebellious and anti-authoritarian theme.

“With this track, we wanted to try something new. It has a different vibe – almost like a march, something we’ve never done before. We’ve slowed down the tempo, but the energy is still intense,” says vocalist Agnete Kjølsrud. “It’s about channeling the power and drive needed when you’re ready to tear down the system.”

Reignbreaker – A Raw, Uncompromising Rebellion in a Dystopian World

“Reignbreaker,” developed by German game studio Studio Fizbin, is a rebellious answer to rising authoritarianism. Players step into the role of Clef, a child soldier who has broken free from an oppressive regime to become an anarchist rebel. From deep within the gothic sprawl of the Queen’s domain, Clef must battle legions of high-tech medieval machines, loot the fortresses of the elite, and tear the system apart.

Alexander Pieper, head of Studio Fizbin, describes why Djerv was the perfect band to create the track that would define the game:

“Music has always been a big part of my identity, ever since I played in punk bands in the 2000s. When designing ‘Reignbreaker,’ we wanted it to feel like playing through an album like ‘Battle of Los Angeles’ by Rage Against the Machine – raw, rebellious, and full of energy. Punk isn’t just about identity or graffiti; music is the core. Djerv was the perfect band to create a title track that captures that spirit. When we heard their work on League of Legends and Arcane, we knew they were the right choice, and they totally nailed it!”

Join the Rebellion

“Reignbreaker” launches on March 18 for PC – check out the announcement trailer here. The game is already available to wishlist on Steam here, and fans can join the community on Bluesky, TikTok, Threads, Instagram, and Twitch to follow the journey leading up to the release.

But first: Get a taste of the rebellion with Djerv’s “Reignbreaker,” dropping on March 14 across all streaming platforms. This is the track that will make you want to tear down the system – whether in the gaming world or real life.
