Portuguese melodic metal band ENCHANTYA is set to release their third studio album Cerberus on April 28th 2023 via Inverse Records. The third single Collective Souls is released today along with music video which is available below.

Rute Fevereiro (singer) comments:

“The song Collective Souls is very special to me because it portrays the collective consciousness that starts from the individual to the collective but that makes us question our existence. The cliché thought that we are all drops in an ocean perfectly represents this song. While it may seem like we don’t make a difference, we are that difference especially when we learn to love and accept ourselves the way we are.”

CERBERUS was produced by Enchantya and Fernando Matias and mixed and mastered by Fernando Matias at The Pentagon Audio Manufacturers.

Enchantya was born in 2004 when vocalist Rute Fevereiro took a break from her classic band Black Widows and started exploring music for a new project. In 2005, the band recorded their first EP, Moonlighting the Dreamer, out in 2006. Having witnessed a great reception, the band started to work on their first album, releasing ‘Dark Rising’ through Massacre Records in 2012 to very positive reviews. After some time touring and promoting the album,the band began composing. However, artistic and creative differences about the new music’s direction and sound would lead to the departure of members and the band split up.

Rute was alone with her project again and having to start all over. Fortunately, this did not stop Rute’s motivation and a few months later, by March of 2016, she had chosen a whole new team of talented musicians to take Enchantya through the next step. After a year of rehearsing with amazing creative chemistry, the band created “On Light and Wrath” , Enchantya’s second album. Like in their debut album, the band booked a few months of studio recordings in 2018 with Fernando Matias at the Pentagon Audio Manufacturers, to bring the new album to life with eleven tracks, entitled “On Light and Wrath” , also taking one step further by adding violin, a whole choir of singers and the guest appearance of the vocalist from D E S I R E , Nuno Caldas, creating a very refreshed and even more epic sound for the band. Finnish label Inverse Records released Enchantya’s album in 2019.

In the middle of their second album’s promo tour, the pandemic hit and the band spent the following two years composing their new opus in the midst of all the chaos. It is now time to release “CERBERUS” , the result of the songwriting through the world’s conflicted times, and also Enchantya’s most ambitious album to date, an ode to how we can all rise from the ashes again and again. With the first single coming out in January, and two more in February and March, the album will finally see the light of day on April 28th, marking a 2023 with Enchantya returning in full form.

Former HADES Bassist Jimmy Schulman to Take Part in RAMONES Documentary

Former HADES bassist Jimmy Schulman was recently filmed by Jim Arbogast for the upcoming RAMONES documentary Loudmouth. Schulman was one of only three bassists to be called back to audition a 2nd time.

Watch a snippet from Ramones Loudmouth documentary, below.

Speaking of Schulman

Jimmy Schulman (former HADES) Dreams of Venus

You can hear the entire album at Dreams of Venus – Songs from the Essex Street Market (hearnow.com) at https://dreamsofvenus.hearnow.com/songs-from-the-essex-street-market

Sometime back in 1990s NYC, a power trio from the Lower East Side emerged on the scene, they called themselves Dreams of Venus:

  • Jimmy Schulman (Hades, Vessel Of Light, Cassius King) on bass
  • Addie Flaxx (Massive Internal Complications, Pound Of Flesh) on guitar and vocals
  • Kirke J Blankenship (Ours) on drums

On the heels of NJ Thrashers Hades’ break up Jimmy said,
“I knew I wanted to start a band with only one guitar player and base it out of NYC.”

Addie added, “I had been living in Boston and moved back to my hometown NYC. I was looking to do a no bullshit thing, straight up and raw.” The two were introduced one night in an East Village bar by a mutual friend, they hit it off and decided to form a band. Addie said, “When I met Jimmy it was love at 1st misadventure (laughs). We swapped party favors and band influences…then it was off to the races.”

“When we met Kirke he worked at a rehearsal studio. The studio closed at 11:00PM every night and Addie an I would sneak in at midnight.” said Jimmy. Addie added, “Those late-night sessions at the rehearsal space were pretty decadent. Did we play any music?? I really can’t remember…”

 Over the next 6 months in a haze of influential substances and like-minded musical tastes they finally emerged from the studio…the poppy seeds were sown.

Influenced by the music of the late 60s early 70s, “We knew we had something different from what was happening at the time.” And the songs? “They basically wrote themselves.” said Jimmy.
Addie added, “We were pretty inspired at the time. Tunes were just pouring out of us…hot f*cking lava, baby!”

Through mismanagement and all the industry bullshit that goes along with it, Dreams Of Venus were just another promising act thrown onto the pile of never-to-be-heard bands, before them and after them. But after being shelved for so long, their ‘lost tapes’ made their way back to the band.
Their brand of heavy psychedelic/stoner rock and – with no short supply of wah-wah, spot on harmonies and what Addie once described as “We have a secret weapon… the Woolly Mammoth” (referring to the tone of Jimmy’s bass) – rounding out the trio’s sound.

Once Addie and Jimmy heard the tapes after all this time… Jimmy said, “It blew me away how the songs held up.”
Addie added, “The DOV stuff was pretty much a distant cool memory for me. When Jimmy resurrected it, I admit I was a bit skeptical. After a listen I was surprised that for a run & gun live 2-track, how good the recording sounded. The performances were solid too. When the label wanted to release it I said, “well, let’s put it out!”

Upon hearing a few songs, 2 European labels, Dyamond Roxx and Hellven Records scooped them up.
Now for the first time they’ll be releasing what would’ve been their debut album…

Ritualistic Black Cultists NIBIRU Announce New Album “Anamorphosis” + Celebrate Ten Years Of Activity

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 25, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: NIBIRU. Leave a comment

Following their latest album, “Panspermia” (2020), Blackened Ritual Sludgers NIBIRU have re-signed with Argonauta Records for the release of their seventh studio album, titled “Anamorphosis”, that will be seeing the light of day on Friday the 26th of May 2023, celebrating their tenth year of activity.

Vocalist Ardat says: “ANAMORPHOSIS is distressing emptiness in a dimension free of conventions, unintelligible, frightening. Silence, absolute solitude, beyond the abyss and beyond the inner self, under the night. This Nibiru’s cathartic journey can be considered as “Experimental Psychedelic Ritual”.

NIBIRU continue to deliver a very special, truly unique and inspiring sound, as developing their musical aesthetics through the recitation of the Enochian keys, and the insertion of intimate and disturbing verses. The band’s sources of extra-musical influences are inspired by occultists and esotericists such as Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant and Austin Osman Spare, but also psychiatric essays, a deep inner illness and a peculiar cult for the actor Klaus Kinski.

The trio invites the listener to be part of a ritual: NIBIRU’s sound is a mental, noisy and apocalyptic journey of visionary magic, elemental prophecies and esoteric superomism. Tribal percussions, evocative mantras and hypnotic drones merge into a completely new interpretation of Black and Doom Metal, while psychedelic tapestries draw a fascinating and idiosyncratic art. The shrill and inhuman voice of Ardat will drag you into a kingdom of mystical abandonment and possession. NIBIRU is indeed a ritual; a heavily deep, disturbing, wild but atmospheric ride on every level – of your soul, spirit and body.

TRACKLISTING:
Anamorphosis (55:55)

Become part of their sound ritual, and get on this disturbing yet haunting trip of their new album, as the band just unleashed a first teaser! Watch the clip:
