SERAINA TELLI has released her new single ‘Modern Warrior (Acoustic – Live From The Cave)’, watch below the official video for the single.
Back to the roots! With the acoustic version of ‘Modern Warrior’ SERAINA TELLI provides an inside of how her songs have been created. Take a piece of wood, six strings and a dedicated singer and composer and here you are: right where the magic happens. Enjoy!
The electric version of the song is part of Seraina’s great debut album “Simple Talk” wich was released on 21.10.2022 on Metalville Records.
KÄRBHOLZ have released the official video for their new single “Seele Auf Der Haut”. Watch the video below.
For one day, the four band members had all their tattoos covered up by means of an elaborate make-up procedure in order to find out: How does it feel to be so naked? Without all the colourful decorative scars on the skin that tell so much of the past, make so many moments everlasting and look so damn good?! They explored the questions: How do the tattooed live? What is the courtship and mating behaviour of these naked creatures and what do they feed on? Are the common rumours and prejudices about the social behaviour of this species true and how can we learn from each other?
After the filming, singer Torben Höffgen said: “When I saw myself in the mirror for the first time, so naked, so fragile, without my protective pigments, I was deeply frightened. I was ashamed. But maybe, and this is what the experiment proved, because I simply didn’t know anything about this colourless way of life and I had to admit to myself that I had a lot of prejudices.” Drummer Henning Münch added, visibly moved: “When I saw myself like this, I couldn’t help thinking of my childhood and I also cried a little.”
See for yourself how the experiment developed and what drastic changes it set in motion in the psyche of the four protagonists. The occasion for this experiment is the release of the song “Seele Auf Der Haut”. A hymn to the tattooed lifestyle that many of us live.

Thunderous doom metal / sludge trio CONAN have released a vinyl repressing of their previously sold out acclaimed albums Horseback Battle Hammer and Blood Eagle.
“We’re so happy to get Horseback Battle Hammer and Blood Eagle out there again. Both are long sold out, and often pop up in people’s ‘favourite Conan album’ lists, so it’s fun to let some new people discover them again.”
CONAN hail from the grim Northwest of England. Three men bear the wretched burden of this abyssal, droning, charging heaviness. Through yawning chasms and bleak devastated battlefields, they deliver riffs and tone so grim and so thick that the Gods turn away, to avoid suffocating under the band’s unearthly delivery.
Since 2007 and their early demo Battle In The Swamp CONAN have taken their place at the very forefront of heavy music in the UK and indeed the world. Sharing the stage with bands such as SLEEP, ACID KING, FU MANCHU, PENTAGRAM, BONGRIPPER and HIGH ON FIRE they have toured worldwide and currently have tours of Europe, the USA and Australia under their belts. Guests of top festivals such as Hellfest, Roadburn, Motocultor, Desertfest, Maryland Deathfest and Psycho Las Vegas and Psycho California, CONAN have earned the right be held in high regard with the very best.
Expect rampaging, galloping, relentless fuzz and galloping crust. No escape, no rest. CONAN released the new album, Evidence of Immortality, in August 2022, on Napalm Records. This is a follow up to their acclaimed release Existential Void Guardian from 2018.
February 24th will see the release of “Following The Steps Of Damnation”, the sophomore studio album by melodic death metal act ONTBORG, which will be coming out via Swedish label Black Lion Records. After their debut “Within The Depths Of Oblivion”, the band consistently continues the chosen path and once again refines the combination between melodies, aggressive HM2 guitar saws and black metal influences in their songs. On “Following The Steps Of Damnation” ONTBORG unite different, but characteristic style elements to something exciting, something new. If you already liked “Within The Depths Of Oblivion”, you will love “Following The Steps Of Damnation”!
After the release of the first single “Steps Of Damnation”, the band follows up today with the track “Nightfall”. The single comes with a brand new lyric video, streaming here:
Ontborg comments:
“Nightfall is one of the faster tracks that combines melody and heaviness. The song is about the idea that every human being hides a darker side inside themself and struggles with it.“

DECORPSETATED have unleashed the first single – “Human Words” with lyric video from their upcoming debut album which will release on March 31st, 2023. The video recently premiered via Metal-Rules which can be found here.
decorpsetated /dəˈkôrpsəˌtādəd/
adjective adjective: decorpsetated
(of a sentient being) to have had one’s corpse
violently and abruptly removed from their soul.
“this decorpsetated soul may never find its way
without a vessel”
Track by track, Human Words peals back the layers of human selfishness. With teeth gnashed and claws drawn, this vicious account of raw humanity will leave you questioning how we still exist, as well as whether we should… oh, and it rips pretty hard, if you’re into that sort of thing.
From the artist:
“As musicians we often end up with seemingly endless folders of unreleased music for one reason or another. You always tell yourself you’ll put together an album but you never do. So I started chipping away at a collection of my favourites with absolutely no vision of how it would turn out. 3 years later I’m sitting back in my studio listening to songs I thought were about greed, war, and extinction, only to be slammed with the reality that these were in fact metaphorical manifestations of my own emotional bullshit. In that moment I knew these stories had to be shared. What if someone else is facing similar struggles and trying to interpret them through a similar lens?” -Marc

MALACODA started off as Lucas Di Mascio’s recording project in 2014. With each release the band explored a different side of heavy songwriting, but kept one rule at the forefront: keep things dark but always dynamic.
After a short hiatus brought on by the 2020 pandemic, the band is back and is eager to showcase a new direction – both aeshtetically and sonically.
A sampling of what’s to come will be unveiled shortly….
Malacoda’s latest release is a reimagining of a section of the epic track “Our Special Place” off of their 2018 release “Restless Dreams”. Taking a section of the 12+ minute song and turning it into a self contained 3+ minute track was a natural decision. the lyric video recently premiered via Metal-Rules and the feature can be found here.
“We were looking for tracks we could add to our live set and we all really liked the original Our Special Place- but it being over 12 minutes long meant we’d have to get rid of other songs that we enjoyed playing. We took our favourite part of the track, the first section of the song, and turned it into it’s own track. We re-recorded everything and gave it a bit more production value- we can’t wait to play this one live.”
