Danish death metal heavy weights ILLDISPOSED have announced their new studio album, “In Chambers Of Sonic Disgust”, for a June 28th release via Massacre Records!

This is the first release of new music from ILLDISPOSED since 2019. It is definitely not normal to see a gap like this between their releases, but several events slowed down the process. First, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the music industry and made the band focus on other things for a while. Then guitar player Rasmus Henriksen was diagnosed with brain cancer. Rasmus has now left the band to focus 100% on the treatment. Former guitar player Ken Holst is back in the band, replacing Rasmus. Now, ILLDISPOSED are finally back to show the world how years of crisis and struggle have been transcribed to music. “In Chambers Of Sonic Disgust” is full of anger and frustration, and the most ambitious and creative ILLDISPOSED album – ever!

Listen to the first single and album opening track “Spitting Your Pain”, now streaming on all digital providers at: https://illdisposed.bfan.link/spittingyourpain

“In Chambers Of Sonic Disgust”, is featuring guest perfomances of Sandie The Lilith (Defacing God), and was mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio. The album artwork was designed by Timon Kokott of Art-Work. Coming as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the album pre-sale has just started at: https://lnk.to/sonicdisgust

ERELEY Ink Deal with Wormholedeath, New Album “Garden” Out May 31st

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 15, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ERELEY. Leave a comment

Progressive Rock/Metal Phenomenon ERELEY has officially joined forces with Wormholedeath Records to unveil their latest masterpiece, “Garden”, set to be released on May 31, 2024.

Reflecting on the collaboration, Ereley expressed profound gratitude:
We are so happy, grateful, and full of excitement by signing with Wormholedeath Records! It´s been a ride to get to that point. We tried to find a publisher on our own and that didn´t work out. Then we were lucky enough to get in touch with Gilson from Imperative Music Records, who was our intermediator. And then Carlo from WHD heard our music and was interested in us which then lead to nice communication and videocall. That guy is a class A! On a day we were supposed to have a video call, he suffered an eye injury and still was on a video as we agreed earlier. That´s what we call dedication and he already impressed us very well. From that moment forward, everything went smoothly and nicely! Once you hear Ereley´s music somewhere out there, it´s thanks to the guys from Wormholedeath who were able to reach your ears, as we on our own wouldn´t be able to put this off. And for that, we will be eternally happy and grateful.

“Garden”: Where the Sound Goes Beyond Progressive Rock/Metal

It´s a love story! “Garden” intricately weaves a poignant narrative of love, loss, and self-discovery, inviting listeners on a transformative journey through the labyrinth of human emotion. Rooted in personal experiences and introspection, the album follows the protagonist’s quest for closure amidst the haunting echoes of a fractured relationship. Each track serves as a poignant reflection of the protagonist’s inner turmoil, offering glimpses into the depths of the human psyche and the enduring power of resilience.

Ereley’s creative process is characterized by collaboration, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of musical excellence. Spearheaded by visionary frontman Lukáš “LR” Réda and guitarist Jiří “York” Réda, the band’s sonic tapestry is enriched by the contributions of Jan “Jofa” Kapr on bass and William “Willi” Izmalkov on drums. From the initial conception of musical motifs to the meticulous recording process at “The Barn” studio under the guidance of Daniel Friml, each stage of production is infused with passion, precision, and a steadfast commitment to artistic integrity.

Ereley defies genre boundaries, seamlessly blending elements of doom metal, death metal, thrash metal, and progressive rock to create a signature sound that transcends categorization. Dubbed “heavy joy music” by the band themselves, Ereley’s music resonates with raw energy, intricate melodies, and evocative storytelling, inviting listeners to embark on a transcendent sonic odyssey.

Tracklisting
01 Mordo
02 Symphony of Hell
03 Type 0 Steel
04 Somewhere in You
05 Black Floyd
06 Universum
07 Orient Flowers
08 Morthra

Join Ereley on their musical odyssey through their latest music video for “Symphony of Hell”:

ERELEY – A Legacy of Innovation:

Ereley’s journey through the music scene reads like an epic saga, marked by perseverance, creativity, and a steadfast commitment to their craft. From their humble beginnings in Cheb’s underground to commanding stages worldwide, Ereley has etched their mark on the metal scene with a blend of raw talent and sheer determination.

Their debut LP, “Katharsis,” served as a launching pad, showcasing their musical prowess and setting the stage for a series of triumphs on both local and international platforms. The formation of Ereley’s core lineup, supplemented by the addition of new members, Tomáš “Birkoff” Vodrážka on bass and Marie Peterová on keyboards, only fueled their creative fire, resulting in a diverse range of sounds and experiences.

Despite facing the inevitable hurdles of lineup changes and unforeseen setbacks, Ereley’s resolve remained unyielding. Their sophomore effort, “Diablerie,” exemplified their evolution as artists, pushing boundaries and experimenting with new sonic landscapes.

The road to success was fraught with challenges, but Ereley’s resilience never faltered. Securing a contract with MASSACRE Records was a testament to their talent and dedication, propelling them onto a global stage where they continue to captivate audiences with their electrifying performances.

Even amidst the chaos of a global pandemic, Ereley persevered, releasing “DIABLERIE” to widespread acclaim and further solidifying their place in the metal pantheon. Their commitment to their fans remained unwavering, evident in their relentless pursuit of excellence both in the studio and on stage.

As they venture into the future with their latest album “GARDEN,” Ereley stands poised to conquer new heights, armed with a rich legacy of resilience, passion, and unbridled creativity. With each note they play and every stage they grace, Ereley reaffirms their status as torchbearers of the metal genre, inspiring legions of fans to join them on their musical odyssey.

Lukáš “LR” Réda – vocals, guitars (and everything behind, between and after)

HARPYIE Release Single And Video ‘Omen’ Feat. Kalle Koschinsky

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

German Folk-Metal-Band HARPYIE release “Omen” feat. Kalle Koschinsky , the second single from the forthcoming new studio album “Voodoo”, to be released on October 25th at Metalville Records.

“Omen” feat. German famous streamer and musician Kalle Koschinsky is an explosive mix of medieval folk rock/metal infused with 90s Eurodance. This unique crossover hit, which especially appeals to fans of medieval rock, metal and folk metal, breaks musical boundaries and celebrates the Eurodance heritage as the ultimate party song. “Omen” invites you to party and is representative of Harpyie’s ability to combine traditional music with modern vibes.

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.

Legendary THE KILLERFREAKS are coming back! Eh yes folks! You got that right! The most peculiar, nutty, crazy, rock, punk, exciting and extraordinary band is coming back!

Mark this date, on May 3, their brand new album “Spaghetti Horror And Rotten Stuff” will be released and it won’t be a classic album to listen to and put back on the shelf! Eh no, it will be an album that will totally enter your brain! Get ready to enter the world of The Killerfreaks!

The record, will be available, on all the world’s best music stores, on Wanikiya Record’s Japanese store and on storefront, inside the Crash Sound Distribution online store.

The Killerfreaks are a Horrorpunk-metal band from Varese, active live since 2004. They are distinguished by a very flashy look, drawing inspiration mainly from artists such as Kiss, Misfits and Death SS. Their songs are fiercely disengaged, consisting of an energetic sound and shifting from classic heavy melodies to thrash metal outbursts, up to more 80s Twisted Sister-esque “anthems,” with explicit lyrics, mainly dedicated to horror movies, always seasoned with a healthy dose of irony, sarcasm and references to 80s Pop culture. Over the years, they self-produce several demos and two albums, “Flesh, Blood & Rott’n’Roll” (2013) and “A Load of Rott’n’Roll” (2017). In 2014 they recorded with Ul Mik, “Dai, dai l’è tardi,” a cover of “Die, die my Darling,” for Longobardeath’s album “Old Time Balabiott.” In 2024 they signed with Wanikiya Record (Blaze Bayley, Timo Tolkki, Pino Scotto…) and released “Spaghetti Horror and Rotten Stuff,” recorded and mixed by Steve Volta. Although they have always stayed away from agencies and record labels, preferring the “do it yourself” method, they play over 200 live shows in clubs, motor gatherings, clubhouses and various festivals such as the Loud and Proud, RockInnSomma, Wings of Bea Metalfest, etc… opening for bands of the thickness of Domine, Strana Officina, Ancillotti, becoming for fans a true cult band niche. In 2008 they played backing act to The Crimson Ghosts, godfathers of Teutonic Horrorpunk. Mephisto, the frontman, is also a top wrestler for Total Combat Wrestling, as well as a comic book artist. Among his works, he recently drew the comic book “Nocticula – Resurrection,” as merchandising coupled with the release of “Revenge” by Nocticula Resurget, a band of Boris Hunter, former drummer of Death SS (In Death of Steve Sylvester and Black Mass).

Line-up
Mephisto – vocals
Mr. Hyde – bass guitar – backing vocals
Five – Guitar
Capt. Cyanide – Guitar, backing vocals
Floyd – Drums

MEDIERA Sign with Soundsrock Agency

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 15, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: MEDIERA. Leave a comment

Soundsrock Agency is pleased to announce the entry of power metallers MEDIERA into its roster!

MEDIERA project was born in Codogno (in the province of Lodi in Italy) in 2019 from the idea of Riccardo Casaroli (singer and songwriter) to create fantasy / medieval themed songs in a metal key: hence the name, born from the fusion of the words “Medieval” and ” Era”.

The first album is a concept based on the reinterpretation of the Arthurian cycle and includes 9 songs plus one that tells who Mediera are and what the themes are. During the writing phase of the story and of the songs themselves, Riccardo began to search for musicians with whome he could share his ideas and, little by little, managed to form a complete line up with Gianluca Scotti (Ex Unsylence) on drums, Francesca Tosi (MadHour, Ex HaddaH) as second main voice, Michele Cassoni and Chiara Anelli on guitars and Davide Nobile on bass guitar. Once all the members were gathered, the recording, mixing and mastering phase of the debut album finally began at Riccardo’s home recording studio, with the collaboration of an external bass player (Davide Lo Sicco) for the creation of the bass tracks.

On February 14, 2024, the first single and music video entitled “Mediera” was released and subsequently, on February 28, the band’s debut album entitled “Storytellers Of The Middle Age” was released via Underground Symphony and it is now available in all digital platforms.

Mediera has already begun writing a second concept album which, unlike the first, will deal with a totally unpublished story, always in a fantasy / medieval theme.

VOID CHAPTER Release Deluxe Edition of “humAnIty”, Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 15, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: VOID CHAPTER. Leave a comment

Void Chapter have released their cinematic industrial rock album humAnIty Deluxe from FiXT. Purchase/Stream:https://link.fixtmusic.com/humanity_DE

Featuring appearances from Celldweller, Daedric, K Enagonio, Megan McDuffee, Robin Adams, and The Anix, the original album was a masterfully crafted exhilarating audio journey through a dystopian sci-fi world. humAnIty  showcasing the years of experience as solo artists and producers, with the complex pristine sound design and audio production, and the fabric of rich storytelling and songwriting for each finely crafted single. 
 
Laying the foundation for a future dystopian world run completely by merciless AI, humAnIty picks up where previous albums The Sprawl and The Uprising left off. Each release features a facet of the bleak world inhabited by humanity in this dark future. The slow burning “Drones” tells the story of the day-to-day people trapped in hopelessness, and includes the first vocal performance from Void Chapter’s own Brian Skeel. While “Diabolic” (feat. Daedric) picks up the dark tale of a world under the control of an unmerciful A.I. maintaining its grip on humanity and our day to day lives.

In their own words, “Void Chapter is proud to offer the Deluxe Edition of their 2023 album humAnIty – which includes instrumental versions, and 3 VIP remixes from each of the Void Chapter members for the tracks ‘Resist’, ‘Reclaimer’ and ‘A Thousand Cries.’  This release additionally highlights a stellar remix of ‘Diabolic’ from HIGHSOCIETY, and an exclusive bonus track entitled ‘The Sky is Falling’, which gives us a sneak peek into a new musical direction for the project – with Void Chapter’s own Brian Skeel at the helm for lead vocals.” 
 
“With this Deluxe Edition release, we wanted to try something a little bit different, keeping external remixes to a minimum, and really create an opportunity for each of us to express our creative visions individually,”
 explains Void Chapter. “Brian Skeel took on the monster track “Resist” (feat. Celldweller) – highlighting his ability to blend complex production techniques with an exciting exploration of genres. Adam Fielding took on the popular track “Reclaimer” – taking us into an atmospheric club direction, introducing alternative melodies and a production style that invokes memories of “The Sprawl” album. Void 0110 (aka Otto Cate) tackled “A Thousand Cries” (feat. Robin Adams) – taking a completely new cinematic approach to the track – inspired by the outro track on the album “The Wreckage”. What emerged was a new creative vision for the track that focuses on the sheer emotional impact of its haunting melody, that rises into a climax of orchestrated intensity. This entire direction was inspired by the creation of a full storyboard based on the lore and lyrics behind the track, and written with a production approach that paid homage to modern movie trailers.”

Watch the “The Sky Is Falling” Visualizer.

humAnIty Deluxe also features VIP mixes for “A Thousand Cries,” “Reclaimer,” and a HIGHSOCIETY Remix of “Diabolic” (feat. Daedric) as well as a brand new single “The Sky Is Falling.” “The bonus track “The Sky is Falling” has had a long history – the original demo was written by Adam about 10 years ago, and has gone through several iteration changes. Placed on the shelf, brought back out and dusted off, re-shelved again, and re-inspired again and again. The final version that made it onto the Deluxe Edition of “humAnIty” is something we are incredibly proud of, and marks a new musical direction for the project, with our own Brian Skeel taking the helm as lead vocalist,” explains Void Chapter.
 
The Void Chapter project is the brainchild of producers/composers Otto Cate, Adam Fielding, and Brian Skeel, and delivers an exhilarating audio journey through dystopian sci-fi worlds. Built upon years of experience as solo artists and producers, the project unites their efforts under the fabric of rich storytelling and songwriting with pristine sound design and audio production.
