EXITIUM Premiere ‘Rooted in Blackened Soil’ Single

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

Italian death-black metallers EXITIUM will be releasing their debut album, “Imperitous March For Abysmal Glory”, on May 12th 2023 via Time To Kill Records.

The band is now unleashing “Rooted in Blackened Soil”, the second fierce single taken from the album. Stream it HERE.

“’Rooted in Blackened Soil’ is an important chapter of the concept behind ‘Imperitous March For Abysmal Glory’: the song is about how the underground people weave relationships with the Church and other bodies such as governments and politicians. It basically explains how they survived centuries and many changes, manipulating and controlling humanity since day one”.

The lyric video for the first single “The Sinister Sedition” is still available at THIS LOCATION.

“Imperitous March For Abysmal Glory” sees the mysterious Italian band unleashing ten intense and unfaltering tracks of their black-laced death metal which promise to pummel the listener into submission. The band’s sound displays a great sense of urgency and is constantly revived with extra layers of ominous soundscapes ingeniously suggesting an atmosphere of suspence and horror.

EXITIUM‘s sound embodies the perfect combination of face-melting aggression and electrifying atmosphere, with song structures remaining unpredictable and yet strangely coherent.

With its ambitious lyrical concept about an obscure civilization located under the earth’s crust and malicious external entities, the album is propelling EXITIUM to the forefront of the current black-death metal movement with an original and brilliant artistic overhaul.

Pre-order the album here.

Tracklist:

01. Incomb (Intro) – 1:47
02. Rooted in Blackened Soil – 5:44
03. Abyss Wolf – 4:11
04. Hammering The Walls of Grace – 5:26
05. Ephemeral (Instr.) – 4:15

After the recordings of the debut album, O. left the band and was replaced by G. (former Membrance drummer).

Soon after the band played some Italian gigs supporting Fleshgod Apocalypse, Imago Mortis, Imperial Triumphant and Suffocation, among others.

RAIZER Return with New Single + Official Music Video ‘The Last Day Of The Universe’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 26, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: RAIZER. Leave a comment

RAIZER return with an introspective new single on “The Last Day Of The Universe.” 

“The Last Day Of The Universe” cools the fervent aggressive nature of previous releases and takes on a more introspective tone. Taking a year to complete, the single features Rock, Industrial, and Alternative overtones wrapped in a bittersweet cinematic shell. Featuring a passionate vocal performance wrapped in a yearning soundscape created from soothing synthesizers, steady drums, and somber guitars, Raizer has proven once again that they have no boundaries. Here we are at “The Last Day Of The Universe.”

Dropping with the release of the song is the official music video, an AI animated themed piece featuring the band overdrawn by AI animation fused between futuristic spatial themes and past historical feats. The video is a perfect illustration of the introspective nature of the track. 
 
“This is a very unusual track for us,” explains Raizer, “the inspiration for it came to me in a vivid dream with a cinematic quality. I was left awestruck upon waking up and wrote the music in just five minutes. As fate would have it, the demo of this song served as the backdrop for some significant events in both my personal life and that of the band’s. Betrayal, moving to another country, the guitarist leaving the band. All the excitement poured out when recording this track. Even though this track is about the last time the world existed. But it’s also about the love that lived to the very last moment of the universe. And that will be the new beginning.”

Watch the “The Last Day Of The Universe” Official Music Video below.

The rise of Raizer begins in Eastern Europe, as four human beings fight to survive the future apocalypse. The only weapon at their disposal – the electronic / rock music hybrid music they’ve created to push back the encroaching alien invasion and ignite the hearts and minds of the last remaining members of the human resistance.
 
Signed to FiXT in 2015, Raizer released their debut album, We Are The Future, in 2017 featuring aggressive, electronic drum & bass, intense guitars, bombastic synths, and melodically resonant vocals. Their genre-defying second album, Resurrection, dropped in late summer 2021, featuring the group’s hit singles, ‘Phoenix’, ‘Explode’ and ‘Free’. Resurrection has garnered over 5 million streams, landing official playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, and Yandex. Raizer’s single “Free” appears on the acclaimed VR music rhythm game Synth Riders.
