The undisputed inventor of dungeon synth, MORTIIS, unleashed his last full length album “Spirit Of Rebellion” – a re-interpreted expansion and continuation of the 1994 Era I classic “Ånden som Gjorde Opprør” – at the beginning of the year via Omnipresence Productions / Dead Seed Productions.

In September and October 2020, MORTIIS should have hit the road again with none other than black metal giants MAYHEM but due to the current world situation with Covid-19, the European tour had to be postponed to 2021.

Mortiis comments: “So this should be no surprise, my fall tour of Europe with Mayhem, has been postponed for March-April 2021, obviously thanks to Covid-19 and all the lockdowns and restrictions it has brought with it. In the meantime, stay safe and follow the rules of your health department and hopefully we can all get back on tour and meet next year!”

DANZIG Announces Special Limited Edition 7” Vinyl Companion To His Hugely Popular ELVIS Tribute

Posted by tarjavirmakari on August 7, 2020
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: , . Leave a comment

When metal singer Glenn Danzig unveiled his long-awaited full-length tribute to the King of Rock N’ Roll, Elvis Presley, one of the most anticipated music releases of 2020, fans and critics alike swooned. Rolling Stone called it “a reverent tip of the pompadour to the King” and Classic Rock Magazine admired that the album “mostly avoids the obvious greatest hits, favouring instead reverb-heavy lo-fi treatments that faithfully reference the originals” while The New Yorker’s Amanda Petruisch declared that Danzig’s version of the oft-covered Willie Nelson-penned classic “Always On My Mind” was the best she’d ever heard. And now fans are being rewarded with the release of a very special, limited edition 7” vinyl featuring Danzig’s unforgettable version of that song as the A-side plus an extra thrilling treat in the form of an unreleased “alternate vocal” version of the powerful ballad “Loving Arms” on the B-side.

The 7” will be available in four versions: classic retro black, purple, black & white starburst, and a unique leopard print picture vinyl that may very well melt turntables with its unbelievable amount of coolness. If the leopard print version of the full-length album, now regarded as a high-end collector’s item, is any guide, this version of the 7” print version will soon be the hot ticket item of 2020.

Danzig had this to say about the release, “I always wanted to do leopard print vinyl as no one to my knowledge has ever done it before. I showed a mockup to Brian [Perera] at Cleopatra and he loved it, so we went with it. Needless to say, we’re both happy that fans are digging it as they’re selling out very quickly.”

Order the 7” at this location.

Track List:
SIDE A
Always On My Mind

SIDE B
Loving Arms (Alternate Vocal)

KORPIKLAANI Unleash New Digital Single ‘Mellanöl’ [Feat. Viking Danielson]

To celebrate today’s international beer day, KORPIKLAANI saved the best for the end of an epic journey: Today, the band is pleased to release the last version of ‘Beer Beer’. This time it is ‘Mellanöl’  featuring Viking Danielson singing in Swedish!  Continuing KORPIKLAANI’s concept of singing in different languages and cultural influences for ‘Beer Beer’.

Check out the new lyric video for ‘Mellanöl’ here:

KORPIKLAANI says:
“We approached many bands in Sweden to create the swedish version for Beer Beer without success. Some simply did not want to, one did not like the idea of singing in native swedish tongue, some feared that their stainless image would be rotten if they get involved with something like a drinking song. Had Sweden forsaken us?
Luckily the word went around and we had a hint about a lesser known band from a mystical Öland Island. So here is Viking Danielson from Svarta ljuset (Västerås tjejerna, smutsigt mamma, ta kuken I munnen Konungen) singing his heart out about Mellanöl, the common swedish beer with disturbingly low alcohol level.”

The band recently launched their own spruce flavoured Vodka in cooperation with Pyynikin Distilling Company as well as a special live stream event to celebrate:
KORPIKLAANI will fulfil everyone’s dream of having a “piss up in a brewery” and will perform live from inside the brewery on Saturday, August, 29th at 20.00 CEST. 
Tickets can bought from their new website, www.korpiklaani.live where you can also get exclusive merch and also pre-order the Vodka!

VOIVOD Talk About Upcoming Live Stream Set & New Live Album Slated For End of 2020

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

Jimmy Kay and Former Anthrax singer Neil Turbin from The Metal Voice spoke to all the members of Voivod at their rehearsal space in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on August 6 2020, as the band prepared for their Live Stream Show on August 9 2020 4pm EST.

Shows topics included, the Hypercube Session, new studio album updates, Live Album, Book  and other projects in the works. 

Tickets are $15 CDN plus applicable taxes based on your location. Buy a single ticket or group rates and find further information here. 

When asked about the Live Stream on August 9 2020
“We haven’t played together in five months, this was our second rehearsal and it felt great. It was just fun to plug every instrument in and play together again. The first song we played at our first rehearsal we were all smiles and we couldn’t hide it.”

“So since there are no tours right now we figured a great way to connect with our fans would be to do a live Stream. The live stream will be filmed at RadicArt Recording Studio where we recorded the last album (The Wake) and the E.P. (Post Society) as well. We are using this recording facility so the sound will be perfect and Francis Perron who mixed out last album (The Wake) will be mixing us live so we were are going to offer a good quality show. We will also be reading the comments and interacting with the fans. It’s a hard time for every band, no bands are touring and not a lot of income, I hope a lot of people will connect with us. ” Chewy

When asked about the set list for the Live Stream
“We will try to cover the bands career, although there are a few eras we will have to skip like the Eric Forest and Jason Newsted eras. But overall it’s the classic stuff and the newer stuff from Post Society E.P. and The Wake. Thirteen songs all together.” Away

When asked about writing new Music
We were confined for awhile in Montreal. During our last rehearsal in March we had some templates for songs that we have been working on from a distance, with drop box folders. There are new stuff in the works but we are mainly concentrating on a full live album coming out before the end of the year (CD/ Vinyl). There is also a book about Voivod and a movie about Voivod in the works ” Away

Come one, come all! In an event not to be missed, Voivod performs a live in-studio set for an exclusive one time streaming broadcast on Aug 9, 2020 at 4 PM, EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). This multi camera shoot and audio mix will happen in real time at the same studio Voivod recorded their Juno winning album “The Wake”.

“Why Aug 9? It’s Denis “Snake” Belanger’s birthday and he wanted to party safely with all his friends and fans from around the globe since Voivod touring the planet has been grounded by the Pandemic.”

SABATON Release New Video For ’The Attack Of The Dead Men’

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

SABATON continue their global assault in support of their latest album,  “The Great War”, with a new video clip of the album track ‘The Attack Of The Dead Men’.

“The video features Sabaton wearing gas masks while performing “The Attack Of The Dead Men” during our latest European tour. Little could we imagine that today a huge amount of the world’s population would wear masks daily thanks to this f***ing virus that has paralyzed our beloved metal community. We miss doing this, we miss you… no livestream can ever replace the feeling of being in the audience for a metal concert”, comments Pär Sundström. 

Watch the video clip here:

Listen digitally: https://music.sabaton.net/TheAttackOfTheDeadMen

The song tells the story of Osowiec Fortress and a battle during World War 1 where the forces of imperial Germany used chlorine gas against the Russian defenders who had no protection against gas and had to wrap wet clothes around their faces in desperation.
They were not expected to survive and that is why their counter attack was so surprising and successful. Wrapped in bloody cloth and coughing blood, they charged and the legend of the attack of the dead men was born.

SABATON’s latest album, “The Great War”, was released in 2019 and it hit the #1 in the charts in various countries including Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. The record has been lauded by fans and critics since its debut on worldwide charts last summer, and features numerous colossal singles like ‘Great War’, ’82nd All The Way’, ’The Red Baron’ and ‘Fields of Verdun’.
