LIV KRISTINE Releases New Single And Video ’12th February’

LIV KRISTINE releases the new single ‘12th February”. The song is taken from her upcoming studio album ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’, which will be released on 25th April on Metalville Records.

The exceptional Norwegian singer presents a song that describes life from both a broken and a beautiful, loving perspective. Liv’s angelic vocals in contrast to dark guitar sounds give ‘12th February’ a very special atmosphere.

Just two years after the release of ‘River of Diamonds’, LIV KRISTINE is back with her seventh solo album ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’ and is as passionate as ever.

The music on ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’ was composed by the sought-after session and live musician Sascha Dannenberger, who was also responsible for the production in his SaDinTheBox Studio and the Twilight Sound Studio in Karlsruhe. The eleven tracks were mastered by Andy Classen at his Stage One Studio.

In their songs, the band skilfully and excitingly combines classic dark rock with elements of doom, rock and pop to create an extraordinary mix of sounds that fully emphasises the mood of each individual track.

LIV KRISTINE has always had a strong connection to her fans and followers. Personally and in her lyrics, she has an open manner that instils instant appreciation and confidence.

The once again impressive artwork by Marc Niederhagemann (ArtWeRK – Mediadesign) with photos by Mariël Rohrbach complements the musical and lyrical world of the songs on ‘Amor Vinci Omina’ with its Gothic-style images.

PUTRID OFFAL Stream “Obliterated Life” LP Ahead of Release

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: PUTRID OFFAL. Leave a comment

Ahead of its release this Friday on the twisted Time To Kill Records roster, Decibel Magazine today presents an exclusive stream of “Obliterated Life”, the blistering new album from legendary French death-grinders PUTRID OFFAL.

Stream “Obliterated Life” HERE.

“Obliterated Life” is set for release on April 11th 2025 via Time To Kill Records. Prepare for an onslaught of sonic butchery!

Following their critically acclaimed 2020 album “Sicknesses Obsessions”, which delved into the origins of pathology and the story of Vesalius, PUTRID OFFAL now take their visceral storytelling to the brutal world of 18th-century war medicine. “Obliterated Life” explores the grim reality of battlefield surgery through the lens of Dominique-Jean Larrey (1766–1842), a pioneering military surgeon who revolutionised battlefield medicine. Amidst the carnage of war, Larrey worked relentlessly on the frontlines, amputating limbs, extracting bullets, and suturing bowels in an environment drenched in blood and the stench of septic flesh. This harrowing narrative sets the stage for a merciless auditory experience.

Tracklist:

1 – The Sweet Fragrance
2 – Boning Hall
3 – Life Consumed
4 – Meat Stall
5 – Entrails Emancipation
6 – Privilege Of Pain
7 – Darkness Awaits
8 – Sanguis In Oris
9 – Mass Murder
10 – Agony Prevails
11 – Messy Flesh
12 – Ribcage Blues
13 – The Black Veil

Preorders:

  • https://putridoffal.bandcamp.com/album/obliterated-life

Extirpated from the crepitating bowels of the surging death/grind scene of the early nineties, France’s PUTRID OFFAL became a cult act with their first platter of splatter, released in 1991 by Wimp Records (LP) and Adipocere Records (CD). However, the band gradually dissolved in formaldehyde by the middle of the decade.

But that is not dead which sleeps, and the beast came alive again 25 years later, delivering a renewed vision of their art with the release of their proper debut album, “Mature Necropsy”, in 2015. This was followed by countless European tours and appearances at festivals, including their iconic 2017 performance at the world-famous Hellfest, captured live for a bonus DVD accompanying their second full-length, “Sicknesses Obsessions” (2020). Another trail of devastation across Europe soon followed.

PUTRID OFFAL deliver old-school death grind deeply inspired by the early works of Carcass (“Reek of Putrefaction”, “Symphonies of Sickness”, “Necroticism”) and the initial death metal phase of Napalm Death (“Harmony Corruption”, “Utopia Banished”). With these ingredients, the band has crafted a solid and unmistakable foundation for their sound.

With “Obliterated Life”, PUTRID OFFAL add their own distinct touch, shaped by over three decades of studio work and artistic evolution. This new album represents the pinnacle of their career: a sonic butchery, powerful, filthy and brutal. Everything is in place to wound, crush and leave a lasting impact.

Line-up:

Franck Peiffer – Vocals
Frédéric Houriez – Bass
Laye Louhenapessy – Drums
Philippe Reinhalter – Guitars

A music video for GhostSeeker‘s brand new single, “Glow In Decay”, is now premiering below. The track features Ionei Heckenberg of Ocean Sleeper on guest vocals.

“An all too familiar tale, becoming an addict to the toxicity that seeps from that one false love,” say GhostSeeker about the song. “Inches from death when with them, paralyzed when torn apart. Glow In Decay follows the heartache, lust and pain of a truly unfortunate love story. A brutal codependency.”

“Glow In Decay” is now streaming at: https://ghostseeker.rpm.link/glowPR

Emerging from the competitive Australian heavy music scene, GhostSeeker took the metal world by storm with their infectious debut EP, “Initium Novum”, which amassed almost a million streams across major platforms since its release in 2022. Playing frenetically-acclaimed shows across Australia, the band quickly built a strong local fanbase, now they are ready to conquer the world! After joining forces with powerhouse label ROAR, GhostSeeker are currently gearing up for the release of their hotly-anticipated, first full-length “Divergence” on April 25th.

Originally formed by ex-LETTERS TO AMARA guitarist Tim Campey, vocalist Celeste Bojczuk and guitarist Cory Walkeden, the band completed the line-up adding singer Daniel Breen (ex-STORM THE SKY) and Daniel Gay (ex-ANYONE ANYONE). Fans will be encapsulated by the unique aesthetic and soaring vocals provided by Celeste Bojczuk married together with the harsh yet melodic flow offered by Daniel Breen. The band’s sound greets a contrast that’s sure to command attention. Guitarists, Cory Walkeden and Tim Campey, effortlessly feed off one another creating a feeling and atmosphere which resonates with all listeners alike, whilst rhythm and bass provide perfectly complements and leads what GhostSeeker are, and who are destined to become one of heavy music’s hottest bands!

PRIDIAN Release New Single + Video ‘Endless’ from Upcoming Album

The wait is almost over: With “Endless”, Estonia’s metalcore force PRIDIAN are releasing their fourth and last single from their upcoming record “Venetian Dark”, which will officially be out in its full glory May 16th, 2025, via Century Media Records. While “Endless” is being released with an impactful music video, the quartet shows once more what Estonia’s metal scene has to offer, raising the anticipation for their upcoming record.

“Venetian Dark” is available for pre-order & pre-save.

Vocalist Laur Lindmäe shares about the inspiration for “Venetian Dark”:

“Venice itself holds a profound history of resilience – falling and being reborn many times. Ingeniously built atop a lagoon to thrive amidst water, the city continuously battles the forces of nature: sinking foundations and encroaching tides. Despite being slowly devoured by the sea, its people persist in preserving its beauty, culture, and history. The album tells the story of a journey through darkness and despair toward a new state of being – a possible transformation or rebirth.”

He shares as the inspiration for “Endless”:

“There’s something about the way they look at me now. Like I’m a symbol of something I never agreed to. A shape. A signal. A convincing surface. I’ve kept quiet long enough for them to mistake that for agreement. I’ve stood in their ceremonies, watched them raise empty words like banners. I echo their language without saying anything of my own. Not because I believe, but because it’s easier than being exposed. They don’t want truth. They want symmetry. Clean lines. No noise. I can still feel – The thing they’ve forgotten how to name. And I know they see it flicker in me, even if they don’t understand it. Maybe that’s why they keep me close. Maybe that’s what they’re afraid of.”

 Society moves like a machine: polished, efficient, and emotionally numb. It performs belief but doesn’t feel it. It repeats the shape of meaning, but not the soul of it.”

Tracklist

The Downfall of Apathy
Cyanide Dreams
Out For Blood
Darker Tides
DINY
Near Dark
Ruin
idoldust
Void Resonance
Synthetic Salvation
Convoy
Endless

Check out previously released singles and videos for “Near Dark”, “idoldust”, “Out For Blood”, and “DINY”.

BEHEMOTH Release Video for New Single ‘Lvciferaeon’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 9, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Behemoth. Leave a comment

Poland’s kings of extreme metal, BEHEMOTH, have unveiled a stunning music video for their new single, ‘Lvciferaeon‘.

Filled to the brim with iconic, blasphemous imagery, the video for ‘Lvciferaeon‘ follows the tradition of cinematic and spectacular music videos for which BEHEMOTH have always been known. Similar to ‘The Shadow Elite‘, the last single from their highly anticipated thirteenth studio album, The Shit Ov God, the brand new song ‘Lvciferaeon‘ encapsulates both the band’s raw black metal roots and the vicious grandeur of modern-era BEHEMOTH.

NERGAL commented:
“It seems fitting to announce ‘Lvciferaeon’ as our next single amongst all the protest activity seen on the streets of the Unholy Trinity Tour. Lucifer has been a recurring symbol for us over our three decades of existence – a symbol of defiance and humanity in contrast to the divine ideal. Our fight continues!”

BEHEMOTH have just kicked off their Unholy Trinity headline tour with Satyricon and Rotting Christ and tickets are moving fast, so act quick! All dates and ticket info at the bottom.

TERAMAZE have released a brand new video for the new single, ‘LIKE A CYBORG’, taken from the new album ‘The Harmony Machine’, coming out April 18th.

With their signature blend of creative, groove-based progressive metal, massive vocal hooks, and technically brilliant guitar work, Teramaze continues to push boundaries while staying emotionally raw and fiercely relevant.”

Mixed / Produced By Dean Wells (Melbourne, Australia), out Through Wells Music. Video Created by Wayne Joyner (Dream Theater, Alter Bridge).
