Finnish Helsinki-based Drama Metal band GOTHONY released a second single “In The Shadow Of The Moon”. The track is taken from their upcoming debut album which is set to be released later in 2023. 

LISTEN In The Shadow Of The Moon single: https://push.fm/fl/gothony-moon

Bass player Väiski Syväoja comments the single:
“In the Shadows of the Moon is the latest creation of drama metal. When the three heroes (Me, Mika Uusitalo, M.Toivonen) put their heads together for the composition, you can hear a return to the atmosphere of the 90s and the rustling of wings from metal classics. The song is crowned by Wuohi’s lyrics about the search for meaning and the disappointment when the search does not yield results… A drama metal classic has been born…”

Guitarist Mika Uusitalo comments:
“Rhythmic, rattling, dramatics, grief and hope…”

Gothony was founded in 1993 with the line-up

Mikko: drums and vocals

Mika: guitar + vocals

This line-up released two demos in the 90s in 1995 (Gothony) and 1997 (Hidden thoughts). Gigs mostly in the capital region, e.g. Oranssi klubi, Semifinal and at the legendary Thunder Road House.

In 1999, the band broke up. There was no drama in the breakup, but everyone went toward different directions in life. In 2019, it was decided to reassemble Gothony to revive the past and play old songs. Mikko, who handled the vocals in the original line-up, gave the vocal responsibilities to Wuohi of the 90s group’s Bleed me tears and Katharsis.

In 2020, Gothony went to Tuska-Torstai and Emergenza to get a feel for live show’s. After the gigs, a decision was made to start working on new songs and continue Gothony’s story.

In April 2023, it’s time to release a new song as a single and a music video . The full-length album will be released in autumn 2023.

Line-up:
Wuohi: Vocals
Mika Uusitalo: Guitar

Emerging from the gutters of Athens, Greece and inspired by extreme soundscapes, WOTHROSCH have embarked on a path to create their inmost sinister art, that explores the darkest facets of the human condition.

WOTHROSCH are a new band from the ever creative Greek scene and created something fresh and new, filled with darkness, a monster of an album that is a Sonic attack unlike you have ever heard. The artwork and the recording strongly contribute to an overall overwhelming experience when listen to “Odium”. Imagine the soundscape experience of SepticFlesh clashing into the furiosity of Anaal Nathrakh: that is what WOTHROSCH sounds like.

“Odium” means: “the state or fact of being subjected to hatred and contempt as a result of a despicable act or blameworthy circumstance”!

WOTHROSCH are not a band. They are a collective, a movement. They are an idea, a dogma. Amongst the contraries they revel. Midst the opposites they dwell. Where all is one and one is all. They are not a band. They are you. They are WOTHROSCH. Welcome to their world.

Philip Dellas – Vocals
Nassos Defiant Stergiou – Guitars

ARAV KRISHNAN Attempts to Survive “The Fallen System”, New Album Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 5, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

The album The Fallen System, from metal artist ARAV KRISHNAN, is a dystopia-themed album based on the concept of the failure of society. The storyline forms from the onset of the second song (song one is the ambient introduction which leads in to the album) You Won’t Live To See Tomorrow, which foreshadows the element of dystopia and doom in the album. This track takes us into a storyline where it outlines aspects which lead to the failure of society, such as in Rebel Without A Cause and Fame 15 Minutes Long, which outline the flaws of our society today. Next is a section of 3 tracks, Hidden Agenda, Digital Invasion and Fist Of Steel, which tell the story of how everything falls apart and how society erases itself. The last section of The Fallen System, Despondent and Aftermath are a reflective and sombre glance into what society has become and how the human race is eradicated.

The Fallen System is a thrash metal album with elements of groove metal and death metal consisting of 10 songs. The producer of the album is Nikhil Wartooth, who is the lead guitarist and main songwriter of Indian thrash titans Chaos and he handled the mixing duties for the album as well. The mastering was done at Mindfield studios by Akhil. Bass parts for the album were played by Narayanan Shrouthy from Indian groove metal legends Inner Sanctum and the drums are from by Manu Krishnan, also from Chaos. Arav handles both rhythm and lead guitars along with the vocals. Guitars and drums were tracked in their home studio, drums were played on an E-Kit and they used drum samplers for the record to get the precise drum sound that they wanted. The vocals were recorded at Astral Studios in Bangalore.

All in all, one and a half years of blood, sweat, tears and a whole lot of fun. The Fallen System represents by far the best work Arav Krishnan has done.

Tracklist:
01. Intro | 02. You Won’t Live To See Tomorrow | 03. Rebel Without A Cause | 04. Fame 15 Minutes Long | 05. Hidden Agenda | 06. Digital Invasion | 07. Fist Of Steel | 08. The Fallen System | 09. Despondent | 10. Aftermath

The Fallen System | Released July 4th, 2023 via Sliptrick Records

Horror Metal Project NARGATHROND Releases Music Video for “Deep In The Forest” Feat. Iyes Keen

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 4, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Horror metalware discovery NARGATHROND invites you once again into his enigmatic world through the chilling video for “Deep In The Forest.” This track, taken from their latest album “Killing Season” released via Wormholedeath, showcases an enticing blend of 80’s synth vibes infused with gripping metal riffs, accompanied by the haunting and mesmerizing vocals of Ives Keen.

“Deep In The Forest” immerses listeners in Nargathrond’s distinctive sonic realm where the lyrics, evocatively performed by Ives Keen, leave a dark imprint, delving into themes of isolation, manipulation, and the search for escape.

“Enter my world and become my prey,
I won’t let you down, I’ll make you stay.
In the silence, you’ll scream without a sound,
Left wondering why no one’s around.”

Nargathrond, which was founded in 2015 in the Thuringian Forest in Germany, has already released three albums, including “A Free Spirit,” “End of Days,” and “A Real Nightmare.” The one-man project is known for combining multiple metal styles with different guest singers, creating a unique and diverse musical experience.

In addition to his music, Nargathrond also works as a soundtrack producer and composer for TV, movies, games, and custom offers in the genres of Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Action, Thriller, Crime, and Drama.
