ATROPHY Unleash Lyric Video Single ‘Seeds Of Sorrow’ from Upcoming Album

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

34 years since their latest album “Violent By Nature”, released in 1990, Tucson, Arizona-based thrash metal masters ATROPHY return with their brand new album“Asylum”! Slated for a release on March 15, 2024 via Massacre Records, the pre-sale is available at https://lnk.to/atrophyasylum

“Asylum” marks the next evolutionary step for ATROPHY. Keeping the speed of “Socialized Hate” and the grooves of “Violent By Nature”, this album adds a big dose of heaviness to the mix resulting in a satisfying aural kick in your face! Following the previously-released, first single and album opening track, “Punishment For All”, today, ATROPHY are sharing a lyric video for their new single “Seeds Of Sorrow”! The track is out now on all digital services via https://atrophy.bfan.link/seedsofsorrow, watch the lyric video premiering here:

““Seeds Of Sorrow” was inspired by the mass shootings in America. In fact, as I was writing the song, almost every day they were talking about another killing on the news. Whether it was a drive-by shooting done by gang members, killing innocent people or children who just happened to be caught in the crossfire or some crazed individual who goes out and kills for the sport of it.” ATROPHY Frontman Brian Zimmerman comments.

“Gun violence is out of control. Our government is sitting idle because of the second amendment. The NRA pays a lot of people a lot of money to let this issue sit. The fear of tramping on American rights and losing the next election combined with the possible loss of the NRA money put into the election funds causes these people to choose to do nothing.”

The band’s forthcoming offering “Asylum” was produced, mixed and mastered by Alex Parra at Second Sight Studio, with the artwork designed by Romulo Dias.

Tracklist:

  1. Punishment For All
  2. High Anxiety
  3. Seeds Of Sorrow
  4. Distortion
  5. Bleeding Out
  6. American Dream
  7. Close My Eyes
  8. The Apostle
  9. Five Minutes ‘Til Suicide

ALBUM LINE-UP
Brian Zimmerman – Vocals
Nathan Montalvo – Lead Guitar
Mark Coglan – Rhythm Guitar
Josh Gibbs – Bass Guitar
Jonas Shütz – Drums

GUEST MUSICIANS
Kragen Lum – Lead Guitar on “American Dream”
Justin Stear – Bass Guitar on “American Dream”, “Close My Eyes”, “Distortion”

HIEROPHANT to Release Live Album “Gateway to the Abyss” on March 29th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 23, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: HIEROPHANT. Leave a comment

Italy’s death-black metal force HIEROPHANT unleash their live album, “Gateway to the Abyss”, out on March 29th 2024 via Dusktone Records.

Recorded during their acclaimed concert at France’s Hellfest in 2023, “Gateway to the Abyss” offers a fresh take on the band’s latest album, “Death Siege” (Season Of Mist). To HIEROPHANT, Hellfest was a monumental occasion, where these musicians and an enormous production came together to forge a frantic and vigorous spectacle.

The songs remain the same, but captured in the urgency of a live environment, they appear even rawer and heavier than they were originally, and the maturation of the last couple of years spent on the road, following the conquest of several prestigious stages (MetalDays, Party.San and many others), makes them more savage.

“Gateway to the Abyss” is the most feral representation of what HIEROPHANT is about: hatred, blood, nihility. FIRE WILL RISE!

Pre-orders and the first single “Death Siege” are now available at THIS LOCATION.

Tracklist:

01. Mortem Aeternam (Intro)
02. Seeds of Vengeance
03. Devil Incarnate
04. In Chaos, In Death
05. Death Siege
06. Nemesis of thy Mortals

HIEROPHANT upcoming shows:

05.04 Dissonant Rites Fest 2024 (Austria)
26.04 The Tower Music Meeting 2024 (Italy)
27.04 Swr Barroselas Metalfest 24 (Portugal)
07.06 Black Metal Invasion Vol. XII (Austria)
22.06 Boarstream Open Air 2024 (Germany)
13.07 Eresia Metalfest 2024 (Italy)
29.09 Metal Gates Festival 2024 (Romania)
04.10 Scumm Pescara (Italy)
05.10 Rome Carnage Extreme Fest (Italy)
26.10 Turbina Budapest (Hungary)

INNER SANCTUM Unveil Lyric Video for Second Single ‘Era of the Idols’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 23, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: INNER SANCTUM. Leave a comment

Freiburg, Germany -based Death Metal act INNER SANCTUM has unleashed another intense taste of the band’s upcoming fourth album, entitled “The Great Odd Ones”, scheduled to be released on March 22nd. Following the release of the first single “Abgott Death Kult”, INNER SANCTUM follows up today with a lyric video for the album’s opening track “Era of the Idols”.

“Era of the Idols is the opening track for a reason,” says the band. “Not only does it set the pace for this album, it also tells the story of the very beginnings of the Great Odd Ones’ lore. The reign of the endless sea lurks upon humankind. Agonizing, yet enticing for those who are faced with the divine atrocities. The contrast between the stampeding almost march-like guitars during the verse and the doom impending heavy chorus underlines this struggle musically.“

Stream the single HERE 

Since their formation in 2004, INNER SANCTUM has been forging a unique path in the Death Metal scene. Combining dynamic death riffs with heavy and heroic parts, the band has created a characteristic and individual sound and with three independently released full-length albums to date and two decades of live experience, INNER SANCTUM has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with.

The upcoming concept album “The Great Odd Ones” delves into the eerie realm of sea gods known as “The Great Odd Ones”, weaving a narrative that explores their terrifying influence on our world. Musically it pushes the boundaries of the band’s sound, taking a turn towards a more death metal and heavy focus while skillfully retaining the distinctive roots that define their music. Drawing inspiration from non-related personal experiences encountered by the band members and delving into the realms of Lovecraftian horror fiction, this album immerses listeners in a nautical, dark, and cryptic theme. 

The album was mixed and mastered by Christoph Brandes at the renowned Iguana Studios and will be self-released by INNER SANCTUM on March 22. “The Great Odd Ones” is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

Tracklist:

  1. Era of the Idols
  2. Abgott Death Kult
  3. Juggernautic
  4. Nautopsy
  5. Mesurol
  6. Thalassophobia
  7. Godfisher
  8. Battlements of Abomination
  9. Those Who Never Sleep

Inner Sanctum are:
Nikolai “Kolai” Kahle (Vocals)
Christian “Farms” Brand (Guitar)
Eric “Yoric” Tobian (Guitar)
Johannes “Joe” Ambs (Bass)
Julian “Jay” Kleber (Drums)

LUCIDITY Release Second Single + Video ‘Threads To Follow’ from Upcoming Third Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 23, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: LUCIDITY. Leave a comment

Finnish progressive melancholic metal band Lucidity‘s second single, ‘Threads To Follow’ delves into the profound essence of the upcoming concept album, blindly follow the direction given, without questioning why. This raises the central question of the forthcoming album, ‘Escherian’: What if you don’t want to follow the prescribed path? The track ‘Threads To Follow’ stands out both musically and structurally, deviating from the traditional single format. This departure mirrors the overall nature of the upcoming concept album. Much like the narrative of the song, why continue in the same direction as always? Shouldn’t we take a moment to look around instead?

Listen to the song on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer etc): https://push.fm/fl/lucidity-threadstofollow

Music and Lyrics by Martti Pohjosaho – Cover artwork: Lucidity

2004 founded Lucidity is progressive melancholic metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland. They have released two full length albums The Oblivion Circle (2015) and Oceanum (2019).

Martti Pohjosaho – vocals, guitar

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

GYPSY PISTOLEROS are delighted to confirm a management deal with Karl Wilcox and Siren Management.

Karl is known as being the thunderous drummer behind the legends Diamond Head, he knows the trials and tribulations of the big league from a musicians point of view, his hands on experience has already proved invaluable.   His many years with Diamond Head and working in the industry have made him the ideal person to help bring the Pistoleros into the future.

Supporting Karl in his lead is Siren CEO Ace Trump. Ace has a fantastic reputation and track record as a manager in the rock business helping steer the careers of many legendary bands that has included Thin Lizzy, Saxon, Europe, Uriah Heep, and Stiff Little Fingers amongst many others. As a result, Ace has since become an expert in the field of artist management.

We are thrilled that Karl and Ace are taking on the management of GYPSY PISTOLEROS as we go forward into a bright future. They will be joining the present SIREN roster of Diamond Head, The Residents and Elegant Weapons.

In an increasingly difficult music business, it is a comfort to put our career in the hands of such an experienced management team and we very much look forward to adventures together in the coming years.

GYPSY PISTOLEROS have finished recording the follow up to last years U.K Charting album ‘Duende a Go Go Loco!’. The brand new album is titled ‘Church of the Pistoleros’ and was recorded at The Old Cider Press Studios, Pershore (U.K) once again with collaborator, co-writer & rising legend of a producer Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Ginger, Terrorvision, Ryan Hamilton, The Professionals, etc)

Coming soon GYPSY PISTOLEROS brand new killer album ‘Church of the of the Pistoleros’ will prove that they are preposterous, epic, overblown and totally glorious! The music ranges from anthemic Rock, to Latin swagger, to Phil Spector 50’s ballads, to pure Glam Punk Rock, to near EMO & Goth with absolute slabs of the purest Heaviest Rock to near Rock Opera proportions.

It is pompous, overblown, totally out there. Standing alone in musical ancestry and sum sound, GYPSY PISTOLEROS are one of those most rare acts who can honestly claim the tag ‘unique’.

Gypsy Lee Pistolero – Vox
Shane Pistolero Sparkz – Guitars
Kerry Pistolero White – Bass
Crag Pistolero Shape – Drums
