Dubbed a brilliant crossover between Biffy Clyro, A Perfect Circle and Queens of the Stoneage, THE NEW DEATH CULT drive alternative rock in a forward direction mixing an eclectic 90’s vibe with modern alternative rock.

The band is now ready to release their highly-anticipated second album “Super Natural” and the tracks were laid down at Ocean Sound Recordings in Giske, Norway. 

Listen to the album here: https://orcd.co/tndc

The band states;
“This new album marks an organic progress and growth from the last record, most noticeably harnessing the power and sound of the band on a new level. We delve into new themes and ideas while retaining what we consider essential to our identity. Lyrically, “Super Natural” is dealing with different aspects and dualities of nature, both mental and environmental, and can in many ways be perceived as more introspective compared to our previous songs.”

“Super Natural” showcases a diverse range and unique sound of modern alternative rock, creating a dynamic and highly captivating listening experience.

About THE NEW DEATH CULT:
Formed in 2016, THE NEW DEATH CULT gets their highly eclectic sound by crafting songs and lyrics that challenge many conventional parameters of contemporary rock, while staying true to the soundscape of vintage 90s greats. Their unique sound earned them critical acclaim in The Guardian, describing them as “smoky, soulful sweetness” after their 2019 debut album.

The band states;
“Our music inspires a much needed sense of environmentally consciousness and togetherness in these very strange times that we’re living in”

With their unique blend of high-energy rock and catchy hooks, this band is sure to turn heads.

German dark metal pioneers NACHTBLUT are back to hit venues all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland on their Vanitas Tour, starting today in Stuttgart. To set stages for this infernal live experience, the band has just revealed a brand new official music video for their song “Kaltes Herz” (engl. Cold Heart). It represents the quintessence of NACHTBLUT by combining a dark and morbid mood with on point lyrics that don’t mince words.
 
“Kaltes Herz” is cut from the band’s sixth full-length album, Vanitas, released in October 2020 via Napalm Records. Accompanied by a brand new official video, the song draws the listener into the band’s musical maelstrom in a classifying NACHTBLUT manner. Don’t miss your chance to join the cult and experience NACHTBLUT live on stage!

The band states:
“Today, our own VANITAS TOUR will kick off. We’re more than happy this is finally happening after we had to reschedule the tour, due to the Covid-Pandemic. 
 
This will be an awesome tour; many shows are sold out already, and for several cities just a few tickets are left. We don’t take this for granted, especially after the last two years. We’re stoked about the support by our fans and thankful to everyone involved.

To celebrate the start, we’re giving you “Kaltes Herz”. This video was shot during the “Homecoming Tour” with our friends of LORD OF THE LOST and is a great flashback to an awesome tour, as well as a hint for what to expect attending the VANITAS TOUR. We see you tonight or very soon!”

Songs like “Die Toten vergessen nicht” (engl. the dead don’t forget) shine with an unmistakably dark and orchestral sound that will cause shivers to run down the listener’s spine, while the folk-influenced song “Leierkinder” (engl. children of the lyre) convinces with addictive rhythms and moving lyrics. With Vanitas, dark metal giants NACHTBLUT create a symbolic work of art somewhere between transience and infinity.

NACHTBLUT on Vanitas:
“Vanitas combines many elements, from melodic songs, electronic sounds to heavy, fast riffs. We merged those to one harmonious oeuvre and we’re more than happy and excited about the result. As the title reveals, the idea of transiency and mortality is a major topic on this record and has been influenced by the Danse Macabre and the Vanitas still life paintings. But this did not limit us to not speak out about injustices and bringing up painful subjects, nor to be less contentious.”

NACHTBLUT is:
Askeroth – vocals
Ablaz – bass
Skoll – drums
Greif – guitar

Finnish ATLASES Reveal First Single + Video ‘Singulars’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 18, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Atlases. Leave a comment

Singulars is the first single from the forthcoming new ATLASES album Between The Day & I, and now available on all digital platforms.

The fact that ATLASES from Finland sound different has its reasons. Besides the “normal instrumentation” of a metal band, the musicians from Pori also work with electronic drum pads and keyboards. Both are not just additional accessories, but an integral part of the musical self-image of this Nordic group. In addition, there is the creative demand to go further aesthetically and sonically than is usual in modern post-metal. In the cinematic soundscapes ATLASES are creating you can lose yourself completely.

The third album “Between The Day & I” pushes this approach to the extreme. The dualism of beautiful, atmospheric euphony and abrupt brute force works fantastically and provides lasting impressions. The sextet from Pori sets tension arcs time and again, which lead deeper and deeper into a maelstrom of rapture, melancholy and emotional discharge. On the follow-up to their 2020 LIFEFORCE RECORDS debut, “Woe Portrait”, ATLASES present themselves as resourceful songwriters who cultivate powerful contrasts beyond the usual conventions of post-metal and thus stand out. With “Between The Day & I”, the Finns prove that modern post-metal can still be developed further, if the right attitude and the necessary daring meet forward-thinking creativity and an elevated level of ambition.

The fact that the cover motif of the new ATLASES album evokes associations in the direction of the MASTODON classic “Remission” or “White Pony” of the mighty DEFTONES is a coincidence, but on closer reflection it fits pretty well.

BETWEEN THE DAY & I – JUNE 2ND – PREORDER HERE

Album track list:
Eyelids of the New Dawn
Singulars
Silent Threads
Earthshine
Mosaic of Silence
Save Room
Intermission
Versus
Imperial Dark
Ties to Distance

BOSPARANS FALL to Release “Götterspiel: Dunkle Zeiten” Album on May 26th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 18, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BOSPARANS FALL. Leave a comment

The upcoming album by the southern German RPG melodic death metallers BOSPARANS FALL is entering the home stretch. The album will be called “Götterspiel: Dunkle Zeiten” and will be released on 26 May via Black Sunset/MDD.

The album tells the first part of a trilogy story about the warrior Alrik Immerda, who, 1019 years after the battle on Bosparan’s battlements, is drawn into the preparations for the ancient rituals that have been going on for almost two decades. Role-playing game fans should already be alert to the name of the band, for the whole thing is actually set in Aventuria, a fantasy world from the German Pen&Paper role-playing game “Das Schwarze Auge”.

Musically, 10 tracks of predominantly melodic death metal await you, but they don’t stop at bordering extreme metal genres either. Be prepared!

It’s time to enter the Satanic Age.“
