Black magick metal masters BEWITCHER are now unleashing the remastered version of “Speed ‘Til You Bleed (Midnight Hunters demo, 2015), which is taken from their upcoming rarities and B-sides album, which is due on November 17, 2023 via Century Media Records! ‘Deep Cuts & Shallow Graves: Ten Years of Black Leather, Black Magic & White Hot Fucking Steel,’ is a massive 17-track compilation of Bewitcher original demo recordings, including rare and previously unreleased material, all remastered as well as two brand new studio tracks.

The searing offering can be found along with a visualizer at THIS LOCATION.

The band comments: “One of the all-time classic Bewitcher tracks, the title says it all. Live fast, go hard, do it for the devil.”

Pre-orders are now available and can be found HERE.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like “free” “personalized” “complimentary” or “customized.” A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like “for a limited time only” or “only 7 remaining”!

Since their formation in 2013, Bewitcher has seen their signature “Black Magick Metal” sound go from humble beginnings to new heights of creativity and wild anthemic fervor. A small collection of long out-of-print demo tapes kicked off what has proven to be an enduring line of ripping studio albums, singles and EPs. They have earned a reputation as one of the hardest working touring acts around, bringing their volcanic, high energy live shows to every corner of North America and parts abroad.

Now, as the band reaches a new crucial milestone, they are taking a moment to look back on a decade of diabolic speed and sorcery. Their latest offering, ”Deep Cuts & Shallow Graves: Ten Years of Black Leather, Black Magic & White Hot Fucking Steel“, is a massive 17-track compilation of Bewitcher’s original demo recordings, including rare and previously unreleased material, all remastered as well as two brand new studio tracks. Released November 17 on all formats, including a stacked double LP version, it is a compelling retrospective on the earliest days of this rising force in the world of heavy metal.

American death metal purveyors SKELETAL REMAINS will be releasing their brand new full-length, ‘Fragments of the Ageless,’ via Century Media Records on March 8, 2024! To celebrate the forthcoming opus, the band is now unleashing the first vicious attack from the new offering! The brutalizing new single, “Void of Despair,” can be found along with a cannibalistic music video, directed by Dillon Vaughn, at THIS LOCATION.

The band comments: “We are very proud to present our first single entitled ‘Void of Despair!’ Inspired by the true horrors of the many men lost at sea, who after depleting all of their resources and food, turned to cannibalism for survival. We gave the old stories our own twist by having the crew set on a ship lost in the eternal void of deep space. The aggression and spastic riffs swirling throughout the song perfectly express the feeling to an endless losing battle of sanity and starvation, thus succumbing to their demise. We hope you enjoy!”

Pre-orders and additional album details for ‘Fragments of the Ageless’ will be announced at a later date. In the meantime, the single is now available for streaming on all services HERE.

In addition, SKLETAL REMAINS will be embarking on an extensive North American tour in support of Suffocation and Incantation, with additional support coming from Stabbing. The band will bookend the tour with additional headlining dates as well. The full itinerary can be found below!

FOZZY Unleash Video for Latest Single ‘Spotlight’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 27, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: FOZZY. Leave a comment

Powerhouse rockers FOZZY are thrilled to release their new music video for their single “Spotlight”. With the superstar showmanship of front-man CHRIS JERICHO, tag-teamed with guitar genius RICH WARD, FOZZY are a band that have always pushed the boundaries both sonically and artistically over their twenty plus year career. From performing three shows across America in one day, to filming a music video on one of the fastest hair raising roller coasters in the world, the band lives up to their reputation again with their “Spotlight” video.

Never falling short in creating innovative, imaginative videos, “Spotlight” is no exception in the FOZZY Universe. Filmed by Exceleration Media and Firefly Drone Shows, the ground breaking video features hundreds of live drones that light up the night sky to co-star in this first ever Drone Show music video. It’s a full out assault on your eyes, ears, brain, and remaining senses, as JERICHO braves the elements.

Buy the single at https://found.ee/FOZZY-Spotlight

To fully capture the magnitude of the night flying drones for the video, FOZZY’S creative team brought the concept to Firefly Drone Shows, who are recognized as the innovation leader in the drone light show industry.

“The concept was to design an exciting drone show based on the ‘Spotlight’ lyrics, and bring the drone performance to life directly behind Chris Jericho. The end result is a thrilling music video that took months of planning and programming to make possible,” said Firefly Drone Shows Co-Founder Ryan Sigmon.

According to FOZZY Co-founder and Guitarist Rich Ward, “When we came up with the concept of doing a drone show video, we knew the only person who could pull this off was Chris. Who else could conduct hundreds of drones to streak through the sky while creating images 800 feet tall and over 1000 feet wide? Bringing a music video concept to life, especially one that has never been pulled off before, can be challenging because of the multitude number of unknowns. With that said, it was completely worth the challenge and we hope you enjoy “Spotlight” as much as we enjoyed making it!”

The single for “Spotlight” demonstrates Fozzy’s evolving sound, melding rock and metal with powerful emotion and musical might. “Spotlight” was produced with precision by Johnny Andrews (THREE DAYS GRACE, ALL THAT REMAINS, HALESTORM) and sonically refined by mixer Jacob Hanson (VOLBEAT, AMARANTHE, ARCH ENEMY). “Spotlight” earned the #2 Most Added song this week at National Rock Radio, and with Six consecutive Top 20 singles including a Gold Single with “Judas”, Fozzy is steadily becoming one of the most successful bands on current Rock Radio.

Fozzy has shared the stage in recent years with the likes of METALLICA, KISS, IRON MAIDEN, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, SHINEDOWN, SLASH, THREE DAYS GRACE, and many more. They light up every stage they play on with their electricity and charisma, making Fozzy one of the hottest live rock acts in the world today.

North American Tour Dates, remaining shows:
10/27 @ Bourbon Theater – Lincoln, NE
10/28 @ Icon Event Hall – Sioux Falls
10/29 @ Lyric Theater – Minneapolis, MN
10/30 @ Sanctuary Events Center – Fargo, ND

Welsh CASEY Reveal Details of New Album “How to Disappear”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 27, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: CASEY. Leave a comment

Welsh post-hardcore legends CASEY have revealed the details of their third album, the exceptional How to Disappear, to be released 12th January via Hassle Records.

The quintet have also released their huge new single, the title track, ‘How to Disappear’.

Pre-order How to Disappear and stream the single here: https://casey.ffm.to/how-to-disappear

Casey comment: “We’re elated to share with you that ‘How to Disappear’, our third full length studio album, will be released on January 12th. Brought to you by Hassle Records and Greyscale Records. You can listen to the title single now.

‘How to Disappear’ seeks to unravel the enduring impact we leave on our loved ones after our time has come to an end. This record explores the enigmatic intersection of existence and grief across the course of 12 songs.

This album is our most ambitious project to date, and we hope you’ll accept our invitation to be a part of it.“

Casey will be taking the album on a host of European and UK tour dates in 2024.

UK and EU headline tour:

Mar 26 UK London Islington Academy
Mar 28 DE Hamburg Sporthalle *
Mar 30 DE Leipzig Messe *
Mar 31 DE Oberhausen Turbinenhalle *
Apr 02 NL Utrecht TivoliVredenburg
Apr 03 BE Antwerp Trix
Apr 05 CH Zürich X-Tra *
Apr 06 DE München Zenith *
Apr 07 AT Wien Arena *
Apr 09 FR Paris Petit Bain
Apr 11 UK Nottingham Rescue Rooms
Apr 12 UK Bristol SWX
Apr 13 UK Manchester Academy 2
Apr 14 UK Glasgow Garage

*Impericon Festival

Stream Casey‘s previous single ‘Puncture Wounds to Heaven’ here: https://casey.ffm.to/puncture-wounds-to-heaven

The news follows a joyous return for the quintet in 2023, including seven huge shows in the UK and Germany, and the limited release of their 7” Atone/Great Grief (Hassle Records).

Casey, at its core, was grounded in the notion that music is a labour of love. Without expectation of success, without desire to attain stardom, just a shared yearning to create music – and when this no longer rang true Casey stayed true to themselves, and stepped away.

In late 2018, when Casey announced they were bringing the band to a close, it felt like a premature demise. Their first two LPs – 2016 Love Is Not Enough and 2018’s Where I Go When I Am Sleeping – had firmly established the Welsh five-piece as one of the most exciting bands in Britain’s alternative scene.

Now, years later, the band have returned – bigger and better than ever before. Casey don’t just replicate the feelings that inspire them – they embody them.

Casey are:
Tom Weaver
Liam Torrance
Toby Evans
Adam Smith
Max Nicolai

Black Metal Veterans KOLDBRANN Ink Deal with Dark Essence Records, Fourth Full-Length Album Coming in Spring 2024

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 27, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: KOLDBRANN. Leave a comment

Dark Essence Records have welcomed Norwegian Black Metal veterans KOLDBRANN to their roster, and are ready to release the band’s fourth full-length album in the spring of 2024.  Before then, however, fans will get a taste of some new material from the band, in the shape of a two-track, limited edition, 7″ vinyl single.

Known for their uncompromising take on Black Metal, and with a fearsome “backs to the world” attitude, KOLDBRANN have been at the forefront of the Norwegian Black Metal underground scene since the band was first formed in 2001.

Led by Mannevond’s characteristic pitch black raw vocals and Kvass’ clever Norwegian lyrics, KOLDBRANN have, from day one, delivered their obscure and unique riffs, unsullied by any trends.  The band’s studio output matches perfectly with their notoriety on stage.

Commenting on their upcoming collaborations with Dark Essence Records, the band had this to say:

KOLDBRANN are elated to announce that we have entered into a pact with the esteemed Dark Essence Records, one of Norway’s premier extreme metal labels.  After twenty years abroad, it was about time we brought our music home!

Our fourth full-length album is mastered, and all the sordid details will be revealed in due course, but, while we wait, we are excited to be able to serve you up a proper taste of what is to come on the 1st December, when our single will hit the streets.

The two tracks on the single were both recorded during the same studio sessions as the upcoming album, and are accompanied by some disturbing artwork by the talented Salowe Vision.

The single includes the tracks “Den 6. Massedød (Manna fra en annen himmel)” on the A side and, “Inhumanitær Inngripen” on the B side and will be available in Oxblood Red 7″ vinyl format, limited to 500 copies, as well as digitally.

It is now available to pre-order from both Dark Essence Records and directly from the band at:

Webshop: https://darkessencerecords.no/shop/
Koldbrann Webshop:  https://koldbrann.bigcartel.com
US Webshop: https://darkessence.indiemerch.com/
Koldbrann Bandcamp: https://koldbrann.bandcamp.com

Aside from Mannevond on Guitars and Vocals, and Kvass on Guitars, KOLDBRANN’s lineup today includes Voidar on Guitars, Leonid Melnikov on Drums, and John Grave on live Bass.

KOLDBRANN’s next live appearance will be as follows:

2023
02 Dec:  Pest Fest, Copenhagen, Denmark
09 Dec:  Eindhoven Metal Meeting, Netherlands
15/16 Dec: December Darkness, Norrköping, Sweden
2024
28-31 Mar: Inferno Metal Festival, Oslo, Norway

More information about KOLDBRANN can be found on the band’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/koldbrannofficial

A video of KOLDBRANN performing live at Wacken in 2014 can be seen below.
