Härnösand, Sweden blackened death metal act SVARTKONST is gearing up for the release of its highly anticipated new album “May the Night Fall”, which will be coming out on September 29th via Trust No One Recordings. While the first single “Endless Dark” already gave an intense insight into the upcoming album, SVARTKONST follows up today with the brand new track “Filth Worship”.

Listen to “Filth Worship” on SPOTIFY or BANDCAMP

“The second potent spell of all things Svartkonst. The blood in these veins has no limit to what it will distill. And the fruit of this is a disgusting slew of a track, maybe a more unpredicted and erratic one than previous conjurations,” mastermind Rickard Törnqvist states and continues:
“Filth Worship is an unholy abomination that twists and turns as the track goes on. I wanted this track to have schizophrenia, to distort between genres and styles, in a filthy disharmony. Worship the filth!“

Since the band’s debut album “Devil’s Blood” in 2018, which hit like a minor bomb in the extreme metal circles and was nominated by Aftonbladet (Sweden’s biggest newspaper) to be the year’s second best album, the hype around SVARTKONST keeps on growing. With the vision of blending the heaviness and filth of Swedish Death Metal with the coldness and desperation of Black Metal, SVARTKONST succeeds in its own way to deliver heavy riffs, sharp melodies and intense aggression that leaves no one untouched. Following the latest album “Black Waves” (2020), which has been nominated for the Swedish Indie Grammy “Manifestgalan”, “May the Night Fall” is about to mark the next intense chapter of SVARTKONST and is an album not to be missed in 2023!

“May the Night Fall” will be coming out on September 29th via Trust No One Recordings and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

“May the Night Fall” track listing:

  1. Haunt Me
  2. Breath of Satan
  3. Straight to the Grave

August 25 will see the release of “Under My Skin”, the highly anticipated debut full-length record by Swedish hard rock trio S.O.R.M, which will be coming out via Noble Demon. With the release of the track “Crazy”, today, the band has released the second single from the upcoming album. Watch the new video below, which is a continuation of the story line of the previously released track “Demon Child”.

S.O.R.M comments: “Crazy is a part 2 of our single ‘Demon Child’ (2019). And the whole story is how your past can impact on your life in the future and that there’s a story behind every person’s behavior and also, if you just take time to listen when your friend our partner need to talk, you can help that person by just lending them your ear. ‘Hear their story before you judge’.“

XANVALA Unleash Killer Banger Single ‘Ashita, mushi ni natte mo’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 30, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Japanese alternative act XANVALA released a new digital single on July 26, 2023. In contrast to their vibrant rock songs, “Ashita, mushi ni natte mo” is one of their heaviest works so far.

XANVALA has flipped the coin again to present their fierce dark side with “Ashita, mushi ni natte mo”.  The Kafkaesque title is translated into English as ‘Even if you turn into a bug tomorrow’. The song explores the anguish of an infectious love that feels like a curse.  

This new digital single is a killer banger that falls into the alt-metal sound infused with djent elements, down-tuned guitar riffs, hard-hitting drums, and a combination of screams and clean vocals.

Listen to “Ashita, mushi ni natte mo” on digital platforms: https://lnkfi.re/EHxfm0jW

The members of XANVALA commented on the single:

“The song itself is heavy, and so are the lyrics. Staying true to the theme, the song turned into a heavy love song.” — Vocalist Tatsumi

“We shouldn’t be satisfied with how things just are. That’s why we should make changes to not leave things as they are now.” — Guitarist Yuhma

“This song showcases a new facet of XANVALA and it will have a significant impact on the atmosphere at concerts. Fun fact, we found woodlice at the location where we filmed the music video.” — Guitarist Souma

“This is our most aggressive song ever. However, I hope you can perceive the emotions beyond that.” — Bassist 70.

“This work… is not the cure for cancer, but it’s so good that it eventually will.” — Drummer Tomoya

Since their formation in 2020, XANVALA stills building momentum and making waves with exciting music. After the release of their sophisticated second album “NIX” in March, XANVALA has continued touring all the way from North to South of Japan. Furthermore, the five-piece band recently put out the song “strange?” on digital platforms and released a second press of their sold-out 2022’s album “Tsuki to Taiyou”.

About XANVALA
XANVALA is one of the most exciting emerging acts of the actual Japanese alt-rock / visual kei scene. XANVALA’s music is a burst of energy characterized by a heavy yet melodic sound, in conjunction with a catchy rhythm, dynamic guitar riffs, electronic backings, and striking vocal lines. XANVALA brings a combination of elements from different influences, without attaching to just one particular genre, creating an adrenaline-fueled experience.  Under the concept of “messy things are beautiful” and the name XANVALA (pronounced as “zanbala”) carrying the meaning of “disheveled hair”, it goes without saying that headbanging is a must at concerts. The band’s intense rock has garnered an enthusiastic response, propelling them towards soaring new heights and challenges.
