Up-and-coming power metal band DOMINUM have unleashed the catchy second single, “Danger Danger” – creeping directly in their listener’s heads. This massive power metal track convinces with its skillful instrumentation and storyline through bombastic vocals. Like their praised first single, this track also comes along with an outstanding music video by 360 Grad Design (Rammstein, Within Temptation & more), but this time combines comic strips alternating with stunning performance cuts.
 
DOMINUM recently signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records! The band showcases the highest level of production value right off the bat with their first singles “Patient Zero” and “Danger Danger”, which were mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Arch Enemy, Katatonia, Delain, Amaranthe & more). The band proves they are poised to become one of the biggest successes in the current power metal universe.
 
Join the Living Dead Squad and witness further shows this autumn with Hämatom and Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, and at many big festivals in 2024!

Dr. Dead on “Danger Danger”:
“Living people, did you successfully survive the first serving with ‘Patient Zero’? Then you can go straight to ‘Danger Danger’ – Dr. Dead has led his first zombie into town and tested it on an unsuspecting living being for the first time, under non-laboratory conditions. It worked out well right away – the system is a go. Everything has been successfully documented and is visible in the new video ‘Danger Danger’.”

The band around singer, producer and songwriter Felix Heldt (known from his work for Feuerschwanz, Visions of Atlantis and others) is the character of Dr. Dead, and takes the living into the world of the undead – telling stories of zombies, survival and insatiable hunger for more – creating their own intense and captivating reality.

At the core of DOMINUM, fantastic storytelling, genius songwriting and high levels of musicianship combine the energy of metal with the drama and narration of horror movies!

Even before they released their first single, DOMINUM had already put on stellar performances – at Austria’s Area 53, for example – have been booked on a tour with Die Apokalyptischen Reiter and Equilibrium, as well as shows with Hämatom and Winterstorm, and have more in the pipeline for 2024!

Join the Living Dead Squad and become a part of the hottest up-and-coming force in theatrical power metal!

MARTY FRIEDMAN & BRIAN AUGER Join Forces on New FUSION SYNDICATE Single ‘Meteor Shower’

If you thought you would have to wait another 10 years for a new Fusion Syndicate album to light up the night sky, we have some exciting news for you! Yes it took over a decade for the jazz fusion supergroup to follow up its 2012 debut self-titled album with their sophomore effort, A Speedway On Saturn’s Rings, released earlier this month. But now comes the announcement that the group is set to release another full-length album, Beautiful Horizon, on November 3, ensuring that their fans and followers will have plenty to tide them over for at least another decade or more!

Beautiful Horizon is in many ways a companion piece to Speedway, continuing its cosmic theme while expanding its universe with a mindblowing array of eclectic performers including Fishbone’s Angelo Moore, The Door’s Robby Krieger, PiL’s Jah Wobble, Mahavishnu Orchestra’s Jerry Goodman, Megadeth’s Marty Friedman, Chrome’s Helios Creed, and more. The album showcases even more adventurous, musically complex master works, including the album’s first single “Meteor Shower” which is released today. The combination of fiery metal guitarist Marty Friedman and icy cool keyboardist Brian Auger creates a brilliant once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event that not even Haley’s comet could upstage!

Stream/download the single: https://orcd.co/meteorshower

Watch for the full album experience of Beautiful Horizon to be released on CD and digital with bonus tracks that feature additional performances Steve Morse, Tony Kaye, John Etheridge, Steve Hillage and others! And keep watching the night sky for the appearance of the vinyl version following shortly after.

GOATBURNER Premiere ‘Dismemberment’ Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 28, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: GOATBURNER. Leave a comment

Finnish noisemongers GOATBURNER premiere their unsettling new video for “Dismemberment”. The song is taken from their new album “Fatal”, due out October 6th 2023 via Time To Kill Records.

Watch “Dismemberment” HERE.

“‘Dismemberment’ is the last song we finished for the album and it’s also the closing track. The working title ‘Chainsaw’ was referring to the opening riff, but it became very clear in the studio, that the song should be about cutting with a chainsaw. Increased electricity prices and novice chainsaw usage leads into grotesque result, which Yonitapes captured very well on the video. Lead actor Vili Mäkinen is our close friend from Galvanizer.”

GOATBURNER, formed in 2017 and featuring Keijo Niinimaa (ROTTEN SOUND, MORBID EVILS, AGE OF WOE) and Jaakko Forsman (RATFACE, SKULMAGOT), create a caustic atmosphere somewhere between massive sludge and frantic high-speed thrashing.

“Fatal”
 was written in between 2019 and 2022, slowly and steadily and mostly at the rehearsal sessions. The album was recorded and mixed by Kaos at Chaotic Doom Cave studios from May 2022 to November 2022 and mastered by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound Studios in early 2023.

GOATBURNER is mostly inspired by their own music (also written for the other groups the members are or have been in) over the years, but sources of inspiration can ben found in the old school death metal scene and bands like Autopsy, Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse and Demigod.

Album tracklist:

01. Danger!
02. Pool of Blood
03. Disaster
04. Attack
05. Revolving Reaper
06. Lobotomized
07. Morbid Angle
08. Hateful Beaks
09. Blender Bender
10. Dismemberment

Pre-orders:

  • https://goatburner-extremeconditions.bandcamp.com/album/fatal
  • https://timetokillrecords.com/collections/goatburner

Line-up:

Spider (Jaakko Forsman) – drums
Kaos (Keijo Niinimaa) – guitar, vocals

Ripping groovy old school death metal with a twist of sludge and grind, from Helsinki, Finland. GOATBURNER has been doing their duo-based wall of sound and blasting since 2017, including numerous festivals and tours. The band is already releasing their 2nd full length album “Fatal” on October 6th 2023. Discography includes the “Time to Burn” EP from 2018, the “Extreme Conditions” LP from 2019 and the “Danger” EP from 2022.

GOATBURNER hits the stages as a duo, with Kaos plugged into extensive string gear and Spider often in front row with the kit for percussive mayhem. Audiences are constantly dropping their jaws in front of this dynamic duo, wondering if there are any other musicians behind the stage – which isn’t the case obviously.

With more than 50 years of musicianship and over 10 bands under their belt, GOATBURNER is an unstoppable force that will constantly continue taking over new stages around the world.

Italians thrash masters GAME OVER have released their second single ‘The Cult’, taken from the new album ‘Hellframes’ to be released on October 20th via Scarlet Records.

Stream the single at https://bfan.link/the-cult

‘Hellframes’ is a neck-breaking album where Game Over keep delivering their rabid, insane brand of thrash metal and pushing the songwriting out of the comfort zone at the same time. 

A frantic mix of thrashing madness, punk attitude, infecting melodies and some creepy obscure atmospheres. 

Lyrically-wise, a couple of tracks are intricately woven together, telling the tale of a 15th century priest who birthed an occult cult, re-discovered in modern times through technology and unleashing unspeakable evil from hell. 

Other songs delve into the depths of human existence and mind – exploring pain, fear, and the relentless struggles we face every day.

  • recorded at Raptor Recording Studio (Destrage, Slander, Dufresne)
  • cover & artwork by Mario López (Evil Invaders, Toxik, Crystal Viper)
  • guest appearance by Dome (Fulci, TV-Crimes) on the cinematic titletrack
  • for fans of Death Angel, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Cro-Mags, Mercyful Fate

GAME OVER:
Renato “Reno” Chiccoli – vocals, bass
Luca “Zeero” Zironi – guitar, backing vocals
Alessandro “Sanso” Sansone – guitar
Anthony “Vender” Dantone – drums

SLIDHR Present Second Song ‘What The Gauntlet Bestows’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 28, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SLIDHR. Leave a comment

As a second evocation from forthcoming album “White Hart!“, Ireland’s finest SLIDHR present ‘What The Gauntlet Bestows‘. This perfectly executed new composition convinces with full blown Black Metal fanaticism and carefully interwoven passages of ominous calm. Listen via Bandcamp and the label’s YT channel, below.

Composer J. Deegan notes:

“Given that the first single and title track is probably the most musically direct and aggressive track on the album, it is easy to see why this one sounds a lot more diverse. The core is still somewhat brutal and straightforward but branching out to avoid fatigue. Some bands can do brutality from beginning to end but that is not really our thing. As with almost all SLIDHR tracks, this one began with me figuring out stuff on guitar. It’s my main and my favorite instrument to write on. When I compose a song, I try to let it develop as I write but also not overthink. The last section of this one was a result of my fondness for stuff like BATHORY and ISENGARD. Heavy, catchy folkish vibes. We have visited this before but there’s always room for more of this stuff. Lyrically, this one deals with those who are too weak to stand for what they believe in and are content to live a life of servitude to tyranny. Weaklings who are happy to do as they are commanded for fear of the master’s whip. Perhaps for some the years of punishment will result in a breaking point.“

Find more information about the album here.

“White Hart!” will be released on CD, vinyl and digital via Debemur Morti Productions on October 13th. Pre-orders are possible via the label’s EU, US and Bandcamp shops.

“The entity of SLIDHR is that of pure hopelessness and desolation. Scion of the Black Stream, flowing into hollow vessels and the miasma to all creatures of the earth. SLIDHR is the illumination of the hidden serpent, removed of its black shroud, draining the vitality of very existence itself.

An understanding of SLIDHR is an understanding of the overwhelming essence of death.

SLIDHR is the exultation to a dead realm, itself a spark in a realm of nothingness, so far removed from recurring banality. It is creeping death enveloping the empty body of man, a great plague decimating mortal unity.“

Formed in 2005 and hailing from Dublin, Ireland, SLIDHR is an immersive maelstrom of venomously misanthropic Black Metal. The band’s name derives from the Sliðr, a river flowing through Hel, the land of the dead in Norse mythology – a moniker which befits their dark enigmatic power.

Founded as a solo project by artist, tattooist and bassist/guitarist/vocalist Joseph Deegan, since 2013 the band has featured Icelandic drummer Bjarni Einarsson (SINMARA, ALMYRKVI) and more recently bassist Stefan Dietz.

Following the 2006 cassette release of “Demo 1” (Debemur Morti Productions), the band has unleashed two full-length albums – “Deluge” (2013, DMP) and “The Futile Fires Of Man” (2018, Ván Records) – in addition to two EPs and two split releases. The abyssal atmosphere of these records in combination with furiously intense select live performances at festivals such as Inferno, Prague Death Mass, Caledonian Darkness and Ascension has established SLIDHR as a force to be reckoned with.

A highly-anticipated third long player entitled “White Hart!” will be released via DMP at the end of 2023.

ENTHEOS will be touring in support of their Time Will Take Us All full-length released earlier this year via Metal Blade Records. Pushing progressive death metal in ever more imaginative directions, ENTHEOS continues to stand apart from the pack, incorporating elements drawn from myriad genres – including death metal, groove, grunge, electronica, slam, gothic rock, jazz, prog and more.

“We knew when we started writing that we really wanted to make something darker and heavier that was still uniquely ENTHEOS, and we knew that we wanted to make a record that really came from our hearts and captured where we want to take this band,” explains vocalist Chaney Crabb.

“The new album also has a strong ‘trippy’ vibe, not in a generic sense but meaning when you are done listening to it you feel like you’ve gone on a journey,” adds multi-instrumentalist Navene Koperweis. “I’ve always loved albums that gave me that feeling. I can’t say we set out to have the experience, it just sort of happened and that’s something I’m proud of.”

Having stripped down to a two-piece in 2020, this has helped to streamline the band and allow the core members to make the music they want to with no compromise, which is clearly to their betterment. Koperweis – who takes the role of drummer in the band’s live lineup – has long written most of the guitar parts, so it was not a radically different writing process, but allowed him the freedom of complete control.

With Koperweis handling production duties and Mark Lewis (Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder) mixing the record, all of the drums were tracked by Zack Ohren at Castle Ultimate, and Koperweis tracked guitars and vocals. They also recruited former member Evan Brewer to supply the bass. Though committed to their status as a two-piece, the band does have a live lineup with Brian James (ex-Fallujah) and Robert Brown (ex-Slaughter To Prevail) providing guitar, maintaining their reputation for being a killer live band. Having delivered the best record of their career they are also in a very good place mentally, but they do not get ahead of themselves.
