Boston, Massachusetts boogie sludge metal act LEATHER LUNG celebrates the release of their much-awaited debut album “Graveside Grin”. Out now on Magnetic Eye Records, you can order your copy at http://lnk.spkr.media/graveside-grin

Let’s get this party started! The incorrigible headbangers in LEATHER LUNG have heard the pleas of their enthusiastic following to bring forth a new album of substance-fueled boogie metal, and have obliged at last with the raucous new full-length “Graveyard Grin”. The proper debut album from the New England five-piece has everything promised by their previous EP releases: a thick, chugging concoction of stoner metal, doom, and unrelenting sludge, blended into a refreshingly heavy brew with a catchy kick.

LEATHER LUNG are a wild bunch that know the meaning of fun. This is hardly surprising as the band sprang into existence out of friendship and the punk and hardcore scene of Boston in 2012. Starting as a four-piece, they quickly gained an excellent reputation in their local scene, as well as plenty of critical attention through a string of EPs, starting with “Reap What You Sow” (2014) and followed in regular intervals by “Lost in Temptation” (2016), “Lonesome, On’ry and Evil” (2019), and “Dive Bar Devil” (2022).

‘Dive Bar Devil’ is also the name of LEATHER LUNG‘s own brand of lager beer, which has already sold out and been re-brewed multiple times. One may speculate that this is the liquid coming out off the can that the band’s Green Lady mascot of each of their record covers opens forcefully in the artwork of “Graveside Grin”.

Now a five-piece with the addition of a second guitarist, LEATHER LUNG are ready to take on the world. Following crushing live appearances at DesertFest New York and Psycho Las Vegas, the band return with “Graveside Grin”, a massive sign that these freaks from Boston are ready for the road and amped to get the global party going.

  1. Spit in the Casket
  2. Big Bad Bodega Cat

PORONIEC Release Debut Album “W Połogu”, MGŁA’s The Fall on Drums

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 17, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . 1 Comment

Poroniec was born in 2016, during a rehearsal of another band, from our shared need to free ourselves from the burden of society’s expectations. One night of drinking led to many nights of sending each other listening materials and later on, recording first versions of the songs in Ferment’s home studio.

Poroniec in Slavic Demonology is mighty Demon raised from the soul of child who died before birth by intentional procedures performed by women to miscarry. It was believed that unborn child is motivated by envy because it did not have time to enjoy life. This envy was compared to the one that was observed during casting bad spells.

Drums for the album were recorded by The Fall (Mgła, Owls Woods Graves) in No Solace studio (Deus Mortem, Graveland, Mgła) and the rest in TRIPlets Audio by Ferment, who was also responsible for the album’s production, mix and mastering. The cover art was made by Maciej Kamuda (Blut aus Nord, Kalt Vindur, Stillborn). Guest vocals were performed by Hekte Zaren (Adaestuo) and Harvest (Outre).

Wrzaskun & Ferment about this record: “The album is a 52 minute long tale of humankind’s repugnant existence woven as a testament to our belief that albums should be listened to from their beginnings to their ends.“

Album “W Połogu” was released March 15, 2024 digitally on all major platforms as well as Bandcamp and as jewelcase CD via Polish underground label Putrid Cult (pre-order).

Tracklist:

  1. Intro
  2. Nieprzystępni
  3. Konieczności
  4. Niedorzeczności
  5. Moralności
  6. Przypadłości
  7. Mądrości
  8. Wątpliwości

Line-up:
Wrzaskun – vocals, lyrics
Ferment – guitars, bass, backing vocals, music
The Fall – drums (session)

Guests:
Hekte Zaren – vocal in songs: Intro, Niedorzeczności, Moralności, Szlachetności
Harvest – vocal in song Intro

ITERUM NATA Premiere Music Video for ‘The Drifter’, New Album Out Now

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

Iterum Nata, the project by Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Henget, ex-Hexvessel) is releasing the brand new album ´From the Infinite Light´ today via Nordvis. In celebration of the release, the artist also premieres a new music video for the song The Drifter, which can be found at the link below.

Listen to ´From the Infinite Light´ here – Buy the album in the Nordvis Store.

Jesse comments: “From the Infinite Light” is a concept album exploring the birth of Darkness and Death. The narrative unfolds through two voices; ‘Darkness’, born from the Infinite or Limitless Light – a concept borrowed from Qabbalah to explain cosmic genesis – and a desperate man unraveling his destiny as he descends into madness. Eventually, the man merges with Darkness, together embodying Death.

In the wake of his critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Trench of Loneliness”, Jesse embarks on a bold foray across the boundaries between folk music, black and doom metal, neo-folk, and progressive rock, orchestrating a symphony where every note is a harbinger of both darkness and light.

Delving into the abyss of the human psyche, the album chronicles the odyssey of a desperate soul seeking refuge in the shadows of his inner chaos, eventually finding a sombre embrace in the darkness borne from his disintegrating sanity.

Tracklist

  1. Overture Limitless Light
  2. This Gleaming Eternity [WATCH HERE]
  3. A Manifested Nightmare [WATCH HERE]
  4. Ambrosia
  5. The Drifter
  6. A Darkness Within [LISTEN HERE]
  7. Something Truly Almighty
  8. The Crown of All

In the wake of his critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Trench of Loneliness”, Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Henget, ex-Hexvessel) embarks on a bold foray across the boundaries between folk music, black and doom metal, neo-folk, and progressive rock, orchestrating a symphony where every note is a harbinger of both darkness and light.

As twelve-string and six-string acoustic guitars weave a cloak of folky serenity, tremolo-picked electric guitars inject black metal mysticism, forging a sound that’s as distinctive as it is immersive. Fusing the brooding narratives of Nick Cave, the avant-garde creativity of Dødheimsgard, and the spectral chants of Dead Can Dance, “From the Infinite Light” is a beckoning path into a world where the melancholy of introspection meets the rage of existence.

“From the Infinite Light” was produced, recorded, and mixed by Jesse Heikkinen at Studio Beyond North Star. The album features guest appearances by Matron Thorn (Ævangelist, Benighted in Sodom), Rob Coffinshaker (The Coffinshakers), as well as renowned author and occultist Richard Kaczynski.

With “From the Infinite Light”, Iterum Nata transitions from a solitary journey to a collective venture, featuring a full band setup that augments the weight and breadth of the project’s soundscape, marking this as its most ambitious and heaviest work to date.

Delving into the abyss of the human psyche, the album narrates the odyssey of a desperate soul seeking refuge in the shadows of his inner chaos, eventually finding a sombre embrace in the darkness borne from his disintegrating sanity.

AS I MAY Release New Music Video ‘The Last Breath’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 17, 2024

Scared of clowns or abandoned houses in the middle of the woods? Well… Finland’s AS I MAY is back with a killer video for their new single “The Last Breath” that will give you that much-needed horror fix. Combining modern low riffs with a little taste of deathcore plus synths that bring horror sweeps and atmosphere, As I May’s “horrorcore” sound delivers a catchy sing-along chorus to this chaos.

Vocalist/guitarist Lasse Hiltunen adds:

“This video was new territory for us. We shot in 3D and green screens. We thought that we could get that same atmosphere from the video that is in the song with lyrics such as “‘urn down the house’. Basically, the main idea came from that phrase and we needed a reason to burn a house, and have some murderous clowns. Let’s try those in there too. This video came out much more scarier than we thought.”

“The Last Breath” is the first single and title track off their yet-to-be-released third LP that was mixed and mastered by Christoph Wieczorek at Sawdust Recordings.

Spotify – https://spoti.fi/49hySUB

As I May‘s music is all about combining metal/deathcore and vibes from horror movies to create HorrorCore. The band was formed in 2016 in Mikkeli, Finland. The band is known for big melodies, huge choruses, and hard-hitting riffs. As I May is one of the front-running acts in the new wave of Finnish metal bands being exported. Touring all over Europe, they have made a name for themselves along with over a million streams for their albums ‘Karu’ (2022) (Uprising Records) and ‘My Own Creations’ (2019) (Rock Shots Records, Spiritual Beast “Japan”).

AS I MAY is:
Lasse Hiltunen – Vocals, Guitars
Tipi Nokelainen – Vocals, Bass
Leevi Räsänen – Drums
