HARPYIE Release New Single And Video ‘Zombiemann’

HARPYIE have released “Zombiemann”, the fourth single from the upcoming studio album “Voodoo” which will be released on 25th October on Metalville Records.

More topical than ever, HARPYIE’s new single ‘Zombiemann’ accuses people of standing still. Whether followers, enemies of progress or non-self-thinkers: The classic HARPYIE song postulates that keeping old flesh together can only lead to the final destination of immortality. One of the songs on the new album that addresses the division in society and calls for bridges to be built and unity to be found in diversity.

Harpyie – the continuously up-and-coming folk metal band from East Westphalia has played its way into the hearts of the German metal community with its authenticity and consistently individual approach. Whether at the Wacken Open Air or the Summerbreeze, the five rebels from Bad Oeynhausen have thrilled the young and genre-breaking target group as well as the traditional metal fans. With their last album, they also made it into the top ranks of the German album charts with a fabulous 34th place – and proved it: Folk metal from Germany is just as suitable for the mainstream. With their new album “Voodoo” they are continuing on this path.

Harpyie invite you to a life-affirming and rebellious ritual of the shadows of our time.

STRATUZ Drop New Music Video ‘Condemned’

STRATUZ deliver their new music video for ‘Condemned’, taken from the album: Osculum Pacis. It is a rather crude and fulminating theme, as it goes against everything established, the political and religious power to manipulate the masses to their will and interests, a race destined to its own misfortune where mistrust, hatred, and revenge reign, where competition is a mechanism to cancel the other, where the suffering or failures of others can be the satisfaction of many. It’s a misanthropic song to a certain extent.

DENDERA’s New Album “Mask Of Lies” Out Now

UK’s Dendera is proud to unleash their new album “Mask of Lies” from Rockshots Records. The band has been on a steady rise while playing sell-out shows and festivals across Europe and in their home country along with supporting bands such as Sepultura, Queensrÿche, Saxon, Death Angel, Gloryhammer, Skindred, Rhapsody of Fire, and many more.

Expertly delivering modern melodic metal, Dendera’s combination of towering clean vocals and powerful screams along with unfaltering musicianship, energetic performances, and stunning choruses has rightfully earned them a reputation as a formidable band. Their steadfast handcrafted approach means they operate almost entirely self-sufficiently. This gives the band the ultimate edge when trying to hone their sound meaning they can push the best from themselves and always deliver professional results.

Following tough times after the COVID-19 pandemic and personal tragedy from within the band, Dendera has fought against the odds to record a stunning third full-length album. Co-produced by themselves and mixed by Alessio Garavello plus featuring a guest solo from Russ Parrish (aka. Satchel – Steel Panther), this album showcases Dendera‘s relentless vision to move forward, using the traumas of the past to write a powerful record that explores personal themes, grittier undertones that showcases their signature strong vocals and multi-layered songwriting approach.

“This album has been far too long coming from us, and we cannot wait to get it out. We really want our fans to hear how much we have grown and give them a treat. The time we have taken to do this has all been to make sure we get it right, and we think the end product reflects that.” adds the band.

Recommended for fans of Trivium, Parkway Drive, and Dream Theater, “Mask of Lies” was released on June 14, 2024, and is available for album order at https://bit.ly/Dendera-MaskOfLies.
