Monochromatic black metal ensemble BELZEBUBS released their long-awaited 360° Hexperience to all their Indiegogo contributors on February 15th, 2024.
Featuring three songs and spanning just under 17 minutes in length, the 360° Hexperience is a “live gig” set in virtual reality, with the viewer dropped front row and center into the audience along other animated crowd members — some of the Indiegogo backers. Other fans appear on the massive LED screen behind the band, and others have lent their voices to the audio track.
The milieu, staging, lights and visuals have all been designed in breathtaking detail by BELZEBUBS author/artist JP Ahonen and 3D animator Oscar Díaz Castillo, guaranteeing it’ll take several encores to find all the hidden gems and Easter eggs of the show. The 360° Hexperience can be viewed with a computer, tablet, smartphone, and many VR goggles, providing the most immersive experience with stereoscopics and ambisonic audio.
The 360° Hexperience is a unique tour de force, further cementing BELZEBUBS’ reputation as a groundbreaking group, helmed by Ahonen’s humorously satanic artistic vision. The band is currently wrapping up the follow-up to their 2019 Century Media debut album Pantheon of the Nightside Gods, which garnered wide critical acclaim across the globe. The second comic book, BELZEBUBS — No Rest for the Wicked, will be published by Top Shelf Productions in July 2024, followed by other translated editions. Ahonen is also working on adapting BELZEBUBS into an animated series with Finland’s national broadcaster YLE and Turku-based animation studio Pyjama Films.
The 360° Hexperience is still available for new contributors through Indiegogo at www.igg.me/at/BELZEBUBS
Finnish melodic death-doom metallers THE BLEAK PICTURE, featuring current and ex members of Autumnfall and Fall Of The Leafe, will release their debut album “Meaningless” on March 22nd 2024 via Ardua Music.
Today, Everything Is Noise is hosting an exclusive premiere of the single “Lights of July”. Stream it at THIS LOCATION.
The band’s doomy riffage borders on death metal heaviness, but the music manages to escape from the shallows of repetitiveness continuing in the atmospheric groove traced by the band’s acclaimed first EP, with greater emphasis on dark melodies that wrap the songs in a cosmic shroud of stars. The vocal lines frequently alternate registers, offering haunted wailing cleans, catchier verses and dread-filled death calls. The sound is instantly familiar with nods to the ‘90s, but never sounds retro or like mere homage.
The album’s first single, “Stained”, is available HERE.
Tracklist:
1. Prisoner of Your Own Sins 2. Meaningless / Nonsense 3. Misguided (Fortuna’s Hand) 4. Stained 5. Truth Divided 6. Lights of July 7. Broken Balance
THE BLEAK PICTURE was founded in 2021 as a side project of the duo’s main band, Autumnfall. The first promo was written, recorded and digitally released the same year. In 2022, the promo caught Alone Records’ ear and so it was remixed and mastered with the addition of real drums, and released on CD and LP. The duo didn’t stop there but begun work on their debut album ”Meaningless” and finally after what feels like an eternity, the album will be released in March 2024 by Ardua Music on CD and on all major digital platforms. Bleak and desolate, without forgetting beautiful melodies, THE BLEAK PICTURE dives deep into murky waters that can also be called melodic death doom metal.

Bestial black/death two-piece ENDLESS LOSS has earned a strong underground reputation for their vicious releases and savage live shows. The band was born in 2015 in the bleak industrial wasteland of Adelaide, Australia. The pair released their first tape “Solitary Starless Beast” in 2016, with Decibel Magazine praising the raw-sounding demo for its “charred black and bestial spirit.” The outfit followed this up in 2022 by heading further into war metal territory with their EP “Bloodletting Narcotic Divination”. No Clean Singing celebrated the release for being “brutally bludgeoning and psychotically violent”. From there, ENDLESS LOSS toured doggedly across Australia and joined other Adelaide metal heavyweights Charnel Altar for the co-headlined Metaphysical Warfare Tour in early 2023. The band recorded nine tracks in the chaotic days leading up to the tour. These songs, which strike hard with poisonous, hypnotic riffs and sharply aimed violence, are to be released on ENDLESS LOSS‘ debut, full-length album “Traversing the Mephitic Artery”. Expect 28 minutes of barbaric bloodshed.
