Swedish gothic metal maestros TRIBULATION is pleased to reveal that pre-orders are now live for their sixth studio album, ‘Sub Rosa in Æternum,’ is due on November 1, 2024 via Century Media Records, which follows up the band’s award-winning 2021 album, ‘Where the Gloom Becomes Sound.’ In celebration, the band is now unveiling the third single from the offering, “Hungry Waters,” which can be found along with a music video directed by Damon Zurawski at THIS LOCATION.

Tribulation’s “Hungry Waters” is a mesmerizing exploration of the depths of desire, the pull of oblivion, and the relentless hunger that drives humans forward. This song captures the haunting tension between yearning and surrender and the lyrics weave a dark and immersive narrative, and paint the powerful imagery of drifting through endless, treacherous seas.

Stream the new single HERE.

Guitarist Adam Zaars comments, “‘Hungry Waters’ takes us yet further down this untrodden path we’ve entered and is something we’ve simply never done before. For me, it’s one of the highlights of the upcoming album with its mix of melancholy and fervour and its intricate musicality. Can you handle it? I think you can.”

On ‘Sub Rosa in Æternum,’ Tribulation conjure new beast: Part psychological horror of Italian cinema, part gaunt British goth, and part Art Deco opulence, ‘Sub Rosa In Æternum’ is a blazing torch upon a cloudy, skeleton sky. Pre-orders are now live HERE.

In addition, TRIBULATION will be supporting legendary progressive metal pioneers Opeth on their upcoming North America tour, which will kick off on October 11 in Milwaukee, WI and conclude on Halloween night in San Francisco, CA. this October 2024 with their last show on Halloween in San Francisco.

Post-Metal outfit LAUDARE has delivered another intense taste of the band’s upcoming new full-length record, entitled “Requiem”, which will be out on October 11 via Moment of Collapse Records. Following the release of the first two singles “Dies Irae” and “Sanctus“, the band follows up today with the track “Lacrimosa”.

Listen to the song through your favorite streaming platform HERE

Hailing from Leipzig, Germany, LAUDARE is all about poetry – in words and composition. The quartet consisting of guitar, bass, drums and cello is cutting its own path, passing by Post and Progressive Rock, Metal, Folk and Neo-Classical Music, yet staying unsettled at last.

Featuring ten brand new tracks, on the band’s upcoming album the self classification as ‘violent poetry’ gets clearer with every song. Calm, melodic, spoken word passages as the poetry and harsh and hectic parts, that mark the violent counterpart.

“Requiem” by LAUDARE will be out on October 11 via Moment of Collapse Records and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

Tracklist:

  1. Introitus
  2. Dies Irae

BLITZKRIEG Strike with New Self-Titled Album, Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 8, 2024
Posted in: News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

The day has arrived! – NWOBHM living legends BLITZKRIEG have released their long-awaited new studio album, self-titled. After a handful of outstanding single tracks and a plethora of great reactions from the press, the record is finally out for all heavy metal fans to sink their teeth in. And, boy, they’re in for an EPIC trip with the ten tracks of the long-player.

Unrepentantly flying the flag for Classic British Metal since the release of their 1981 “Blitzkrieg/Buried Alive” demo, Blitzkrieg were a pivotal influence on countless heavy metal bands for decades to come: most notably, Metallica, who released a cover of the band’s eponymous track “Blitzkrieg” both on the “Garage Inc” compilation album, and as a B-side on their 1984 single “Creeping Death”. 

“Blitzkrieg” is out now on CD, LP (black, green and red vinyl versions available, each limited to 200 copies) and digital, via Mighty Music. It can be ordered via this link.

“Blitzkrieg” tracklist:

1. You Won’t Take Me Alive 
2. The Spider 
3. Dragon’s Eye 
4. If I Told You 
5. Vertigo 
6. Above The Law (Pull The Trigger Pt. 3) 
7. I Am His Voice 
8. The Night He Came Home (Halloween) 
9. On Olympus High (instrumental) 
10. Aphrodite’s Kiss 

Formed in Leicester in late 1980 by lead vocalist Brian Ross (who remains at the helm of the band to this day), the band would take a four-year hiatus when Ross left to join NWOBHM legends Satan, recording their classic album “Court In The Act” (Roadrunner) and touring extensively, before reuniting with bassist Mick Moore to form Avenger. 

1985 saw the release of Blitzkrieg’s long-awaited debut album “A Time Of Changes” on legendary British label Neat Records, which remains a cult classic to this day. Further success would follow with 1991’s “Ten Years Of Blitzkrieg” (Roadrunner) and a three-album deal in 1995 with Neat Records. 

The band continued to champion Classic Metal throughout the turbulent 2000s, with albums like 2002’s “Absolute Power” (Hellion) and 2007’s “Theatre Of The Damned” (Armageddon), the latter of which was co-produced by Saxon frontman Biff Byford after Blitzkrieg opened for Saxon on their UK tour the year prior. All the while, the band remained a mainstay on the international festival circuit, with appearances at Wacken, Headbangers Open Air, Keep It True, Hard Rock Hell and countless others, along with regular tours in four continents. 

Returning from a hiatus in the wake of their critically acclaimed releases “Back From Hell” and “Judge Not”, Blitzkrieg are as vital, powerful and ferocious as the day they were founded over 40 years ago. Long time members Alan Ross (son of Brian Ross) and powerhouse drummer Matt Graham are joined by bassist Liam Ferguson and virtuoso guitarist and producer Nick Jennison. Their new album “Blitzkrieg” is set for release in summer 2024 via Mighty Music, and if early previews are to be believed, is their best work since 1985. 

Lineup:
Brian Ross: lead vocals
Nick Jennison: guitar, vocals
Alan Ross: guitar, vocals
Liam Ferguson: bass
Matthew Graham: drums

FIGHT THE FADE Release Music Video for New Single ‘Alive Again’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 8, 2024
Posted in: News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

U.S. rockers Fight The Fade have announced their highly anticipated album Isolationist will be released globally on October 18, 2024 through FiXT, and is now available for pre-order. 

Purchase/Stream: https://link.fixtmusic.com/isolationist

Releasing with the pre-order announcement is “Alive Again” complete with an intense official music video. Fiery, explosive, full of yearning, the heavy hitting rock single bursts onto the scene with provocative lyrics and a brutal vocal performance. Heavy guitars dance with elegant synthesizers for a soundscape that oscillates between hope and despair. “Alive Again” showcases Fight The Fade’s ability to capture a deep well of emotions through a musical lens. “From the first demo of this song, I knew we had something special,” explains Fight The Fade. “Being caught up in the grind can be numbing. The pain of life can also be numbing, and when you find something that makes you feel alive again, you tell everybody about it. This is that anthem.”

Isolationist picks up where their 2022 release APOPHYSITIS left off, exploring the turbulent human psyche. This hard-hitting collection of 12 tracks delves into themes of solitude and self-reflection, delivering a sonic storm that is both fierce and energetic, as well as raw and captivating. From thunderous riffs, heavy rhythms, to brutal vocals, Isolationist captures the unbridled fury of hard rock and alternative metal, fused with the relentless energy of metalcore. Fight The Fade masterfully combines heavy riffs, infectious melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics, creating an album that is both fierce and introspective.
 
From the opening track “The Storm,” which thrusts listeners into the whirlwind that is “The Eye Of The Hurricane,” an appearance from label mate Daedric on the combative track “Scratching,” to “Next Sunrise” which delivers an explosive soundscape driven by intense rhythms, thrashing guitars, and daring vocals, Fight The Fade have more than maintained their signature heavy-hitting edge. The album includes “Quarantine,” a visceral plea for space amidst inner struggle, “Revolution,” a fight song that encapsulates the heart of the album’s message showcasing Fight The Fade’s ability to masterfully incorporate synthesizers, heavy guitar work, brutal vocals, and themed narratives into a collection of 12 masterworks that range from beautifully anthemic to absolute fatality.

Fight The Fade’s previous album APOPHYSITIS, released in 2022 via FiXT, has surpassed 16 million streams on Spotify and garnered prominent editorial support from Spotify, Amazon, Apple, VEVO and Yandex. The album also received  features from Outburn, Inked Magazine, Metal Insider, and a sync placement in the Oculus VR game Smash Drums. Isolationist is well on its way to hitting similar marks.
 
Already establishing themselves as a powerful modern/hard rock force, Fight The Fade currently reaches over 375,000 monthly listeners across multiple streaming platforms, with fan favorite “Monster” accumulating over 10 million streams between Spotify and YouTube. 
 
Known for pulling together influences from rock, metal, and electronic music, Fight the Fade has forged an unmistakable sonic identity that wraps heartfelt lyrical themes within a robust production style and delivers them with nuanced and diverse writing approaches. The band’s work ethic and innovative blend of genres led them to an album deal with independent electronic rock label FiXT in late 2020, with Fight the Fade releasing singles throughout 2021, leading to a full-length album APOPHYSITIS released in July 2022.

Veonity have released “Riders Of The Revolution”, second single taken from the new album “The Final Element” to be released on October 18th by Scarlet Records. PRE-SAVE/PRE-ORDER

The Four Horsemen of the Dark, also known as the Riders of the Revolution, heed the call of the warrior and rides out to aid the hero on his quest of power. Just as the epic and fierce lyrical theme, the song truly captures the foundation of the Veonity metal sound!

DEFENDERS OF THE POWER METAL FAITH

  • sixth full-length album for the heralds of the Swedish power metal legacy;
  • first record featuring the amazing new singer Isak Stenvall (former Lancer);
  • mixed and mastered by Ronny Milianowicz (Shadowquest) at Studio Seven;
  • cover & artwork by Alvaro Valverde/AV Art Ilustracion (Elvenking, Unanimated, Verikalpa);
  • for fans of Edguy, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, Helloween, Twilight Force;

“The Final Element” will be released in the following formats: jewel case CD – vinyl LP (300 transparent green) – digital

As power metal slowly turns softer and synth-based, “The Final Element” ensures that this trend gets forever broken!

Soaring vocals (courtesy of new frontman Isak Stenvall), twin guitars and mighty choirs – strongly founded on thunderous bass lines and rumbling double bass drums – dominate and define the sixth Veonity’s studio album: the playful, energetic and well-crafted songs of the Swedish band deliver a full throttle energy boost.

“The Elements Of Power chronicles”, a saga of a hero that needs to seal the veil between the Overworld and the Underworld to prevent darkness from gaining control, is finally unraveled, and it couldn’t have been more epic and glorious.

“The Final Element” tracklist:
1 Premonition
2 Chains Of Tyranny
3 Horsemen Of The Dark
4 Carry On
5 Riders Of The Revolution
6 Warriors Code
7 Powerstone
8 Heart Of A Warrior
9 Kings Of Dreamland
10 The Fifth Element

Veonity:
Isak Stenvall – vocals
Samuel Lundström – guitar
Anders Sköld – guitar
Kristoffer Lidre – bass
Joel Kollberg – drums
