Following the much acclaimed, 2020-album Epitaph, Danish prog-and power metal masters PYRAMAZE have announced the release of their forthcoming full-length record, entitled Bloodlines. The album will be out on June 23, 2023 via AFM Records!

After PYRAMAZE previously shared a first song, “Broken Arrow”, today, they are premiering a music video for new single “Fortress”! The band comments:

““Fortress” has Pyramaze incorporating some of their traditional elements and melding it with a modern cinematic atmosphere. With hard hitting staccato strings, soaring and powerful vocals, driving rhythm guitars and drums, and moving and melodic keyboard passages, “Fortress” should please fans of both older and newer Pyramaze.”

PYRAMAZE are an exceptional phenomenon in the international, heavy music scene: Their sound brings along numerous traditional melodic and progressive metal trademarks, but gets an immensely high recognition value by their unique feeling for great melodies. The band is known for their technical finesse and unique arrangements, often melodic and atmospheric, and frequently including complex guitar riffs and solos supported by synthetic sounds.

In recent years, PYRAMAZE has played on many stages in Europe and North America, demonstrating their energetic live performance and impressive musical skills. They have built a loyal fan base and is considered by many metal fans as one of the most innovative and talented bands of their generation.

Bloodlines was recorded, mixed and mastered by PYRAMAZE guitarist and renowned producer Jacob Hansen. Set to be released on June 23, 2023 through AFM Records, the album pre-sale is now available at THIS LOCATION!

Bloodlines Track Listing:

  1. Bloodlines
  2. Taking What’s Mine
  3. Fortress
  4. Broken Arrow

Italian THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS Return with Highly Anticipated New EP

After a 10-year hiatus, THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS are back. The band returns with a new self-titled EP, which is slated for release via Hypershape Records on May 18th 2023.

The Italian black-death metal punks have crafted a release that will hit both hard and direct as well as challenge the listeners with its rich detail and enormous atmosphere. Extreme, yet diverse. Intense, captivating and simply brooding in every form!

The EP marks a new era for a band that has proven to continue to make music of the highest quality despite facing many challenges and line-up changes along the way.

Encompassing elements of black-death metal, post rock, dark punk and more and shrouded under a veil of bleakness, THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS casts its spell and captures an atmosphere that is raw, otherworldly, and ultimately tragic.

Tracklist:

01. Collider
02. Endbearer
03. Voidwalker
04. The Man Who Loves to Hurt Himself (Today Is The Day cover)

THE END OF SIX THOUSAND YEARS was formed in 2004 as a five-piece scattered all over Italy.

After releasing a 3-song demo in 2005 and a split with the American act Embrace The End in 2006, T.E.O.S.T.Y. quickly gain a cult status in the underground scene publishing “Isolation” (2008), flawlessly blending Swedish death metal, black metal, crust and post rock influences.

In 2012 the band released the second effort, “Perpetuum”, which displayed a darker and more atmospheric approach to their trademark sound.

From the following year, the band limited their activities until entering a hiatus that would last for about a decade.

In 2020 the band slowly started over with a new line-up consisting of 3 founding members (Nicola, Matteo and Luca) with the addition of Michele Basso (Viscera///, Formalist, Hypershape Records) and Gianmaria Mustillo (Hierophant, Carnero, Abaton) both taking care of the vacant guitar duties.

The revamped line up brings forth a new EP consisting of 3 brand new songs as well as a cover of the influential American noise band Today Is The Day.

T.E.O.S.T.Y.’s latest opus sounds rawer, more aggressive and dissonant than ever. The mixing process was handled by Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction) making sure those bleak, discordant slabs of punk-infused black/death metal would be as punishing as possible.

During their various runs across Europe T.E.O.S.T.Y. shared the stage with The Ocean, Cursed, Mouth of the Architect, Dead To Fall and Martyr AD, among many others.

Current line-up:

Nicola Donà – Vocals
Gianmaria Mustillo – Guitars
Michele Basso – Guitars
Luca Dalù – Bass
Matteo Borzini – Drums

Discography:

– Demo (2005, Self Released)
– Split w/ Embrace The End (2006, Still Life Records)
– Isolation (2008, Still Life Records)
– Perpetuum (2012, Self Released)
– EP (2023, Hypershape Records)

Clandestinely conceived by current and former members of The Ocean, War From A Harlot’s Mouth and Gigan in 2014, international extreme metal collective NIGHTMARER is gearing up for the release of the band’s highly anticipated sophomore full-length record, entitled “Deformity Adrift”, set for release May 5th via Vendetta Records and Total Dissonance Worship. After the releases of the first two singles “Throe of Illicit Withdrawal” and “Taufbefehl“, the band offers today another intense glimpse into their soon to be released album with the music video for “Hammer of Desolation”!

NIGHTMARER comments:

“Prepare to be plunged into the desolate abyss that is ‘Hammer of Desolation’, a song heavily inspired by the looming threat of nuclear warfare. The fact that the chorus sounds like a barrage of gunfire is really gonna pummel the subject matter straight through your skull.

The music video was again shot all DIY and is guest starring Leon del Muerte (ex-Nails / Exhumed / Impaled).” 

The band’s upcoming album “Deformity Adrift” is NIGHTMARER‘s most diverse work to date, venturing far beyond the conventions of the already unconventional genre of Dissonant Death Metal, without sacrificing even an ounce of viciousness. Strong undercurrents of Industrial and Doom Metal can be found throughout this 32 min behemoth of a record, which ends with an oppressive wall of sound that will leave you bruised and battered.

“Deformity Adrift” was mixed and mastered by Raphaël Bovey at MyRoom Studio.
Cover art by Jeanne Comateuse. The album will be released on vinyl, CD, cassette tape, digital and streaming formats by Total Dissonance Worship (US) and Vendetta Records (EU).

“Deformity Adrift” is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

“Deformity Adrift” tracklist:

  1. Brutalist Imperator
  2. Baptismal Tomb
  3. Throe of Illicit Withdrawal
  4. Tooms
  5. Suffering Beyond Death
  6. Taufbefehl
  7. Hammer of Desolation
  8. Endstadium
  9. Obliterated Shrine

Death metal heavy weights DISCREATION are celebrating the release of their new studio offering, Iron Times, out now on Massacre Records. In support of the band’s sixth album, they have just unleashed a new music video for the heavy as hell track “Bringer Of Demise”. Guitarist Sebastian Schilling comments:

“With the stunning video clip for “Bringer Of Demise” we celebrate the release of our new album “Iron Times”. We hope you enjoy this story of an epic struggle that we have brought to life together with Alexander Krull. It is also the first time that you can see us perform together with Death Metal Lagend Marc Grewe.”

Created during the Corona pandemic and under the impression of a then impending – now ongoing war in the middle of Europe – inspired by the countless wars and turning points in history, Iron Times marks the band’s darkest record to date.

But, Iron Times is also a turning point for the band, as with Marc Grewe (ex-Morgoth) DISCREATION welcomed a true death metal legend to their ranks! His distinctive voice perfectly matches with the new album songs, while blast attacks, tank grooves, bleak melodies and grim determination showcase DISCREATION‘s very own variant of German death metal.

Iron Times was produced by Alexander Krull, who gave the album an earthy yet powerful sound. The goal was to capture the band’s raw live sound and add a contemporary punch. Mission accomplished!

Out now via Massacre Records, Iron Times is available at THIS LOCATION!
