Listen to the song here: https://cabal.bfan.link/plague-bringer-RW

Singer Andreas Bjulver states:
“If there is something we’ve always loved in CABAL, it’s collaboration and experimentation, so we decided to embrace both of those two things with this rework of Plague Bringer by dark electronic wizard Inhuman. We are super excited that Inhuman managed to create a fresh and new take on our sound, and that we now get to share it with you all.”

INHUMAN adds:
“Excited to announce my collaboration with Nuclear Blast and Cabal on the remix of their hit single, ‘Plague Bringer.’ This rendition is my most metal-inspired take, merging the potent force of electronic production with Cabal’s relentless instrumentation and vocals. 
Brace yourself for an intense sonic blend, where metal meets electronica, inviting you to dive deep into the auditive plague. Get ready for an electrifying experience that hits hard and doesn’t hold back.”

‘Plague Bringer (INHUMAN Rework)’ was taken from the band’s latest album Magno Interitus that was released on October 21st via Nuclear Blast. The album is available as Digipack [limited edition], Black Single LP, Crystal Clear with Gold + Black Splatter Single LP [limited to 500 units, Mailorder + Wholesale exclusive], Crystal Clear with Red + Black Splatter Single LP [limited to 500 units, USA exclusive], Gold + Black Marble Single LP [limited to 300 units, bandshop exclusives] and on all streaming platforms.

Available everywhere from today, 18th January, AeSct follow their previous stand-alone single, ‘Revolutionary Suicide’, (which was the first new music from the progressive-technical outfit after a lengthy hiatius and a configuration of their old line up), with the captivating Death-Tech melodic instnsity of ‘Simulacra’. 

Check out the crushing new single/video via this link. 

Commenting on the inspiration for the new single, vocalist/bassist, Willow says; “the concept for the song comes from the term “Simulacrum” or “Simulacra”. This term is usually used when referring to art as a median, however I thought it worked really well when used while referring to psychopathy and the slow descent into madness. Specifically one person’s struggle with multiple personalities and lack of control as to which one you “Are”.
 
With regards to ‘Simulacra’ giving a good indication as to where AeSect are going creatively, he says; “The album itself is not a concept album so each track has its own theme and vibe, but album is fully loaded with low and slow, heavy, fast, thrashy and groovy riffs, the rest of the guys sync really well musically throughout the album, it’s a joy to watch at times. It’s clear they’ve been playing together for years and share a lot of common influences, which get a subtle nod throughout. I like to think that I throw the odd curve ball in with regards to direction and my influences”.

For now the band are slowly drip-feeding new tracks and have not decided on a concrete release date for the full LP.

Following their much-acclaimed latest album “Neptunian”, which was released in December 2023 via Noble Demon, Northern Israel-based progressive extreme metallers WINTERHORDE have released a brand new lyric video for “Angels In Disguise”. This captivating song, which features the powerful vocals of Kobi Farhi from the renowned band Orphaned Land, showcases the band’s unique blend of epic harmonies and brutal intensity. 

Video credits:
Kobi Farhi was recorded by Alexander Zvulun at AG Studios, TLV
Mixed and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano at Ardo Studios, Portugal
Video by Ingo Spörl / Hard Media
Kobi footage by Alexander Latman & Yoni Oren
Dedicated to Daniel G.

Omer “Noir” Naveh comments: “On this song we had the privilege and honor to collaborate with none other than Kobi Farhi from Orphaned Land, who lent his voice and truly took this song to new heights. Just like our previous collaboration with Vidi on “A harvester of stars”, working with Kobi on this song has been a fascinating experiment in fusing Winterhorde’s style with Kobi’s own flavors and nuances which are a signature of his legendary voice. The result exceeded all our expectations and turned out to be one of the best songs on the album.“

Formed in 2002, WINTERHORDE have been on a relentless quest to evolve and create something extraordinary with each chord they play and record. Their progressive extreme metal sound knows no limits, as they seamlessly blend elements of blackened metal with progressive gems, setting themselves apart as a force to be reckoned with in the world of articulate extremity.


WINTERHORDE has had the esteemed pleasure and privilege of sharing stages with some of the greatest bands in metal at various European festivals, including “Metal Days”, “Rockstadt Extreme Fest”, “OST Mountain Fest”, “Metalhead Meeting”, “Maximum Rock”, and “Metal Yard”. Their performances alongside legendary acts such as Judas Priest, Behemoth, Accept, W.A.S.P, Dimmu Borgir, Keep of Kalessin, Amorphis, Satyricon, and more, have solidified their position as a rising act in the metal scene.

Israel’s SINNERY Unleash Thrash Madness “Below the Summit” on All Platforms

Unleashing their thrash madness this past September on Exitus Stratagem Records with their latest EP “Below The Summit”, Israel’s Sinnery was forced to take down the music as war broke out. Ready to re-upload their latest headbangers, the band announces that thrash fans can rejoice as the music is now back on all digital platforms as of January 16th, 2024 along with it being available on CD and Vinyl.

The EP picks up where Sinnery‘s 2022 album “Black Bile” left off, continuing their self-actualization journey through searing guitar work, pummeling basslines, and vocals that cut through like a razor. “Below the Summit” is a very fast-paced piece of music where a lot is happening all at once. It’s a journey further into the minds of Sinnery, the music and lyrics are a barrage of exactly what they feel in the most authentic and exaggerated way pummeling the listener with a wall of intensity. It is a very human experience that has been etched into this recording, detailing the strange times we are currently living through. The band comments:

“This record marks another important milestone in our lives and careers as we continue to explore further and expand the horizons of what Sinnery’s music can be. We put a lot of thought and effort into Below The Summit to try and get everything we can into it. We sat for hours producing it and sharpening every riff or word in it to make it an experience like we never did before. BTS is a moment in time when we didn’t know exactly how things will turn out for us, we were isolated in our homes when we began writing this, sharing ideas from afar. It was a special experience for us to write this record like this and we feel like we really put that into it.”

On this EP, Sinnery introduces new drummer Liam Fine who has written and recorded on the EP all while learning the band’s older material. In just four months Liam learned 19 songs and wrote four more. Doing so much all at once is probably the most “Sinnery” thing that could have happened to anyone joining in.

“Below the Summit” was mixed and mastered by Arie Aranovich and the album artwork was done by Xul1349 and inspired by a famous Japanese painting called “Thunderstorm Beneath The Summit” by legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai. The EP is recommended for fans of Sylosis, Metallica, and Power Trip.

BROWBEAT Share ‘The Real Face’ Video, New Album “Unbreakable” Out on March 22nd

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

One year after the release of “The Showdown” EP, Italian metallic hardcore institution BROWBEAT are back with their brand new album “Unbreakable”, which will be released on March 22nd 2024 via Time To Kill Records.

Whilst fans wait for its release, the band has today debuted the first single taken from the album. Watch the video of “The Real Face” HERE.

“The message of this song is a total denunciation of power and rulers who disguise themselves as benefactors, making people believe, through fear and false truths, that what they decide is for the good of the people and the masses. The song calls for the sabotage of this corrupt power and its criminal projects, which aim exclusively to enrich multinationals and large global financial banking groups. An incitement is therefore expressed to violently and courageously unmask the power, making its dirty lies and hypocrisies public”.

Tracklist:

01. The Misers
02. The Real Face
03. Empire On Fire
04. Condemned To Fear
05. Loud Voices
06. The Slothful
07. The Call Of Falldown
08. Disconnection
09. Hold It Down (Madball Cover)

Based in a small town near Modena (Italy),BROWBEAT formed in early 1998 from the ashes of local hardcore and metal bands with the intention to create the most intense music possible fusing angst, heaviness and aggressive vocals.

Just after few months the band signs with top independent Italian label Vacation House Records and in May 1999 BROWBEAT starts the recording sessions for the debut album “No Salvation” (VH041) – out in April 2000. “A monument engraved on marble..” (Rumore Magazine), “..every sonorous portion is a hammer blow on the listener back causing multiple breaks..” (Psycho! Magazine). The record is unleashed to unanimous critical acclaim by the Italian press and the band is announced as one of the best acts in Italy. But it’s on the stage, when BROWBEAT starts touring all over Italy playing several headlining runs, where the band conquers the audience with powerful and enraged performances involving people in fearsome energy shows.

With the band writing new stuff, BROWBEAT gets in touch with British top-grade producer Dave Chang (Stampin’ Ground, Earthtone9) and in August 2002 the band heads into the studio to start the recordings of the second album “Audioviolence” (CSK017). The record is the synthesis of the band evolution blending haunting melodies, raged rapped vocal parts, throatripping growls, edged new school guitar riffs, paying also attention to the modern sounds of New Metal scene without loosing the sight of BROWBEAT roots. Chang captures the feelings and the attitude of the band and the result is due not only to the recording process but to Chang emotional involvement as well.

In late 2002 British Casket Music/Copro Records gets in touch with BROWBEAT and in January 2003 the band flies to UK to ink a worldwide deal for the second album release “Audioviolence” (CSK017) out in April 2003. BROWBEAT toured Europe extensively both headlining and as support, like the UK tour with Skindred. They also supported with 50+ shows and countless other appearances with hardcore legends RAW POWER. In 2017, BROWBEAT announced their return after disbanding 10 years earlier, releasing the new album “Remove the Control”. After the reunion the band played with Slapshot, First Blood, Sheer Terror, and in other headlining shows.

During the pandemic, the band begins writing new material and enters the studio to record “The Showdown”, a self-produced five-track EP released in January 2022.
