Australian masters of metal TERAMAZE have returned with a brand new single and video titled “Bullet To A Pharaoh” out today! Mastered by Ted Jensen (Metallica, Nickelback, Alice In Chains), the heavy hitting new song follows the band’s heralded, 11th album, ‘Eli: A Wonderful Fall From Grace,’ that was released earlier this year via Wells Music.

With the release of ‘”Bullet to a Pharaoh,”Teramaze heralds a new era, seamlessly fusing titan-heavy riffs with unforgettable pop hooks, that also resonate deeply within the core of their sound. This exhilarating anthem signifies a powerful return to a more riff-centric metal structure, reminiscent of the 2012 album release ‘Anhedonia’. This track beautiful honors their roots, while courageously venturing into uncharted territory.

Commenting on the new single, founding guitarist/singer Dean Wells says: 

“‘Bullet to a Pharaoh’ feels like a fresh chapter for Teramaze, blending new directions while staying true to our metal roots and those big, anthemic choruses. It’s one of many tracks we’ve written for what could be a double album, set to unfold over the next six months. After disbanding Meshiaak, I realized I needed to inject more of that pure metal energy back into Teramaze. It’s been one of the most exciting and fulfilling songwriting experiences we’ve had in years. Adding more of our metal side into the new material has pushed us to think and create differently, and I truly believe the results will speak for themselves. ‘Bullet to a Pharaoh’ is just a glimpse of what’s to come.” 

Teramaze is a powerhouse metal band that delivers a hard-hitting sound reminiscent of giants like Metallica, Sevendust, Avenged Sevenfold, and Breaking Benjamin. Not only are they known for their intense riffs and soaring melodies, but they also stand out as one of the hardest-working bands in the scene, consistently pushing the boundaries of their sound. With a prolific output of albums in recent years, Teramaze seamlessly blends progressive and pop elements with their heavy metal foundation, creating a unique clash that keeps fans on their toes.

Their relentless dedication to songwriting and performance is evident in every release, showcasing their evolution while staying true to their metal roots. With powerful vocals and intricate instrumentation, Teramaze crafts anthems that resonate with both heart and intensity. Get ready to rock hard and experience the energetic fusion that is Teramaze—where passion meets perseverance!

About TERAMAZE:

Teramaze, the Progressive Metal Titans, captivate audiences with their intricate melodies, powerful rhythms, and thought-provoking lyrics. 

Hailing from Australia, the band has solidified their place in the international metal scene with their unique blend of technical prowess and emotive storytelling. 

Lead by guitarist, singer and founding member Dean Wells, Teramaze’s music weaves together elements of progressive, thrash, and melodic metal, creating a sound that pushes the boundaries of the genre. 

Teramaze came to be known as one of the most prolific progressive metal bands boasting 3 full-length albums in the span of 12 months, from 2020-2021 during the global pandemic. These albums created a mass of new fans, as well as keeping the existing ones excited, engaged and craving more.  

With critically acclaimed albums like ‘Esoteric Symbolism’, ‘Her Halo’ and ‘I Wonder’, Teramaze continues to surpass expectations, delivering intense and unforgettable live performances that leave audiences in awe. 

In 2023 Teramaze played some great live shows, most notably, supporting Swedish metal outfit Avatar and headlining Prog Power Europe festival in the Netherlands.

Teramaze’s latest album, ‘Eli: A Wonderful Fall from Grace’, features spellbinding tracks like “Standing Ovation” and “Step Right Up,” and is the final chapter in their Halo trilogy, following the storylines of 2015’s ‘Her Halo‘ and 2021’s ‘Sorella Minore.’ The record further showcases the band’s evolution as a band and solidifies their status as one of the most diverse and conceptual acts in modern progressive metal.

BETH HART – BIOGRAPHY


Beth Hart is as real as it gets. In a music industry full of glossy production and airbrushed photoshoots, this is one artist who throws down her cards, shares her darkest secrets and invites you to join her for the ride.

New fans might know Beth as the all-conquering global icon, dubbed “extraordinary” by The Times and “daring, brooding and angry” by The Guardian. But to understand her rollercoaster backstory, you need only read the War In My Mind lyric sheet.

Hart is recognized as one of her generation’s most talented voices. She has sold out tours worldwide, including performances at historic venues such as Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, London’s Royal Albert Hall, and the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. She’s topped the Billboard charts six times, gone double platinum and had a string of Top 10 charting albums across Europe.

The Grammy-nominated powerhouse vocalist Beth Hart took on one of her most profound undertakings to date by channelling the legendary voice of Robert Plant on A Tribute To Led Zeppelin. The nine-track album highlights the incredible musical spectrum that Led Zeppelin operated in.

All that was left was the final piece of the puzzle… the voice. Things clicked into place when Cavallo was producing Hart’s previous album, War In My Mind (2019), and she did an impromptu version of “Whole Lotta Love” in the studio. He later asked about doing a whole record. Beth said, “I’m not doing this whole album. To do Zeppelin, you’ve got to be pissed off to hit that right. I can’t go there; I’ve worked years to put my rage away. “She continues, “then the pandemic and all the things around it hit. So now I’m pissed off. I called my manager and said, have Rob and Doug send me all the music because I am ready to do this. “If you were to rewind, you could say the story for a Led Zeppelin album started further back; in May 2004 Hart prowled the stage at the Paradiso in Amsterdam for an incendiary performance of “Whole Lotta Love”. The song became a semi-regular fixture in her setlist over the years, including a memorable performance with Slash.

At 51 – and proud of it – Beth is basking in a golden period. The success of her last original album, War In My Mind, followed by the incredible Led Zeppelin tribute, have garnered yet more critical acclaim, growing sales and sold-out shows. But as the singer reminds us, her life has always moved in cycles–”things get good then go to crap, get good then go to crap”–and it’s in these extremes that many of her best songs are born.

WARFARER’s Debut Album “A Tale Beyond the Pale” Out Today

Finnish melodic death/folk metal band Warfarer released their long-awaited debut concept album, ‘A Tale Beyond the Pale’ on November 15th 2024 via Inverse Records. 

LISTEN to the album on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/warfarer-album 

The band comments:

“The wait is over. ‘A Tale Beyond the Pale’ is here — a journey through Finnish myth and legend: jealousy, scheming, Viking raids, and duels under the northern lights. We’ve poured our hearts and souls (or what’s left of them) into this album, and it feels incredible to finally share it with the world.

But this is just the beginning — our TO-DO list is long and relentless. Warfarer is gearing up to hit the road, bringing our full live sound to stages across Finland and beyond. We’re also deep into the pre-production of our second album, so rest assured, more music is on the horizon.

To our fans, thank you for your unwavering support. See you in the longhalls!”

Cover art by Sofia Sinivuori

STORIES BEHIND THE TRACKS:

Heir Uncrowned:
“The beginning. Two brothers, raised as one, by blood bound. Our protagonist, the firstborn son, is destined to become the tribe’s chieftain. When he commits a shameful deed, he is disgraced by his chieftain father and disavowed. After the chieftain dies and the second son takes our protagonist’s place as the new chieftain, the firstborn son begins to resent his own brother.”

As the Portents Foretold:
“The raid. The brothers lead a raid over the sea against a southern village. Amidst the battle, the jealous firstborn son looks for an opportunity to plant his dagger in his brother-chieftain’s back, but is continuously denied the chance. Finally, as the sounds of battle fade and everyone else has fallen, he turns his blade toward his brother.”

Brotherslayer:
“The duel. The firstborn son, cold-blooded, faces the bewildered brother-chieftain, who does not understand what madness has overtaken his dear brother. In the end, the firstborn son stands over his slain brother as the morning sun dawns.”

Bereaver:
“The homecoming. As the raiders return, carrying their beloved chieftain on a funeral bier, the firstborn son is exhilarated. He assumes his place as the new chieftain, but among the subdued cheers, murmurs of discontent and rumors surrounding the circumstances of his brother-chieftain’s death persist.”

Betrayer:
“The resentment. The firstborn son is the new chieftain, but he is not beloved like his brother. Even in death, his brother makes him jealous, and this resentment begins to turn into anger. Soon, the flames of his hate engulf the whole village.”

In the Gravelight:
“The loneliness. Alone, despised, amidst the burning ruins of his sanity, the firstborn son hides in the north. The realization of his deeds finally drives him over the precipice, and he descends into grief-stricken madness.”

March Through the Endless Snow:
“The march. Giving up everything, the firstborn son begins his journey further into the north. Determined to find his end on his own terms, he marches to reach the dark river of Tuonela.”

The Gates to Realms Beyond:
“The end. Collapsing in the snow, he sees the gates open to the realms beyond. The firstborn son leaves this world, leaving behind his legacy — the myth of the brotherslayer.”

About W.A.S.P.
Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

  5. Through the Wax and Through the Wane (12:03)

Ever since the cloaked Pacific Northwest band appeared on the music radar, UADA has always been electrified by both polar worlds. Their echelon was stark and meaningful. Within the stretch of three albums as well as dense and triumphant live shows across the globe, they have not only spiked the map of extreme metal music but their unrelenting touring schedule and unbridled will to push forward into new horizons has also earned them a reception in all the extremes imaginable, be it worship or spite.

Five sonic vessels form the nucleus of ‘Crepuscule Natura,’ and within it`s 41 minutes, the record easily creates a sonic and aesthetic bridge between the band`s debut, ‘Devoid of Light’ (2016), and their sophomore effort ‘Cult of a Dying Sun’ (2018), only to forge onward upon the relentless path set forth with ‘Djinn’ (2020). Here, a more refined and muscular, yet no less melodic stronghold awaits. On ‘Crepuscule Natura,’ UADA provides all their memorable hooks, tasteful leads, and riding blasts in their distinct style, balancing their epic surging melodies with powerful spurts of aggression. Just like the band’s smoke-heavy shows, the momentum and emphasis of their craft always stays grandiose, mythical, and triumphant – all the while making sure to birth a couple of new fan favorites and soon-to-be staple live songs.

‘Crepuscule Natura’, once again graced by the artwork of legendary Kris Verwimp and photography by Peter Beste, shows UADA on fire to unleash the marrow of black heavy metal.

SARCATOR Unleash Ferocious New Single ‘Comet of End Times’

Swedish thrash metal newcomers SARCATOR will be releasing their new full-length, ‘Swarming Angels & Flies,’ on January 17, 2025 via Century Media Records, making it their debut to the label! The band is now sharing the ferocious new single from the offering, “The Comet of End Times,” which can be found along with a lyric video at THIS LOCATION.

Vocalist Mateo Tervonen comments, “’Comet of End Times’ is where the dynamics we like to work with become the most present, especially within a song itself. It throws you around between different soundscapes, shifting from total death metal worship to Sabbath-grooves while maintaining a unique flow to it that ties everything together and makes it work very well. A strong pillar of the album.”  

Sarcator’s “Swarming Angels & Flies” sets the bar high for the upcoming album in terms of speed, heaviness and pure desire to see the song unfold live. Starting off like an explosion, the song delivers a sonic blast hurling the audience straight into a fire pit with raw, untamed energy. The album is now available for pre-order in various formats HERE.

Sarcator will be joining Eradikated, Eternal Evil, and Bloodstain for the “The Rising Four” tour in autumn/winter 2024 with a total of 10 stops throughout Sweden. More information and tickets can be found HERE.

Tracklist:

  1. Burning Choir
  2. Comet of End Times [WATCH]
  3. Swarming Angels & Flies [WATCH]
  4. The Deep Ends
  5. Where the Void Begins
  6. The Undercurrent
  7. Closure
  8. Unto Sepulchres
  9. Dogfight (cover – originally by Anti Cimex)*
  10. The Black Vomit (cover – originally by Sarcófago*
  11. Torture (cover – originally by Sadus)*
    *Bonus track on Ltd. CD Jewelcase in O-Card only

At a juvenile age of 14-20, Sarcator released their first demo tape, “Visions of Purgatory”, via the American label Redefining Darkness Records in 2019. Just two years later the quadrumvirate got nominated for best rock/metal album for the Swedish music award P3 Guld with their 2020’s self-titled debut release for the same label. After releasing their 2nd album, “Alkahest”, via Black Lion Records in 2022, Sarcator finally got a proper chance to play live, captivating crowds with their intense, blackened live shows.

With their current line-up fully committed to the band despite their young age (all members are between 19 and 25) it was time for them to record their third album, which still features previous guitarist Emil Eriksson. Shortly after signing a new worldwide deal with Century Media Records and heading out on a debut European tour supporting Hellripper and Cloak, Sarcator will be releasing ‘Swarming Angels & Flies’ on January 17, 2025.

This album marks the most intense, brutal and rawest creation yet for the band. It is a remarkably mature and sophisticated piece of work, from mercurial musicians who are only in their early 20’s, and still at the beginning of their creative journey. Across eight, grotesque and utterly venomous tracks, Sarcator have deftly blended the wide-eyed extremity of their debut album with the inspirational musicality of their second record “Alkahest”, while playing everything with more intensity than ever before. Both deliriously melodic and mercilessly brutal: “Swarming Angels & Flies” is the most dangerously potent record the Swedens have made to date. 

Sarcator explains about the record and its creation process, “We wanted to highlight the most aggressive and extreme parts of us, but we still wanted to work with dynamics, so you still have elements of classic rock and post-punk, which we started experimenting with on the last record. There is no question that it’s our most intense, brutal, and rawest creation yet – It’s not really a genre album and we like to keep it that way.”

With plenty of live activity in support of the upcoming album, Sarcator are already at the forefront of an emergent, highly determined new generation of Scandinavian extreme metal bands and ready to take the rest of the world by storm soon too.
