BLUT AUS NORD Unveil Second New Track ‘Queen Of The Dead Dimension’

“She had spoken also of the black man, of her oath, and of her new secret name of Nahab.” (H.P. Lovecraft)

BLUT AUS NORD present a mysterious second shadow-composition to herald the coming of their new work of Art, “Disharmonium – Nahab“. Listen to ‘Queen Of The Dead Dimension‘ below.

Buzzing guitars, eerie melodies and abyssal moans from other dimensions coalesce in Vindsval‘s (FORHIST, YERÛŠELEM) newest opus. Coherent and enthralling, the intense surrealistic atmosphere of ‘Queen Of The Dead Dimension‘ is an aural tribute to Lovecraftian horror in all its dark glory and splendor!

Find all details about “Disharmonium – Nahab” here.

The album will be released via Debemur Morti Productions on CD, vinyl, tape and digital along with merchandising on August 25th. Pre-orders for all items are possible from the label’s EU, US and Bandcamp stores.

Originating in 1994 from the ashes of VLAD (who released two demos), BLUT AUS NORD are undisputable French Black Metal pioneers, always managing to progress and move forward, evolving in perpetual mutation, developing their own vision of Black Metal.

Choosing, from the start, the total opposite path of regressive bands (who copy what others have done ten years earlier and ten times better), BLUT AUS NORD eschews all the inherent clichés belonging to the genre. BLUT AUS NORD‘s Black Metal approach is a fist in the face of mainstream mediocrity, becoming more macabre and sinister through a blend of innovative musical research, subliminal mental manipulation, and an incredible haunted, nightmarish feeling based on disharmony.

BLUT AUS NORD are creators of a hallucinogenic universe, erasing all preconceived ideas of Black Metal – and extreme music in general. They redefine the rules…

Swedish hard rock powerhouse BÜRNER have announced the upcoming release of their sophomore album, “Hittin’ The Target”, on September 15th, 2023 via Time To Kill Records. The first video from the album, “Beer Before Glory”, is out today. Watch it HERE.

“Hittin’ The Target” tracklist:

1. Beer Before Glory
2. Burnerator
3. Haulin’ Ass
4. Bring Me The Fire
5. Warrior
6. Baptized In Gasoline
7. Soulmate Killer
8. Come Blow The Horn
9. Bloodstorm
10. Up Shit Creek

“After the release of ‘Baptized in Gasoline’ we continued to write new songs as always. Soon there was enough material for a second album and recording began. We always do everything with a smile and our sick sense of humor. The inspiration it comes from anything really, there are so many bands that have inspired us over the years.
Janne came up with the idea for the cover and title and work moved on. We are really happy with the result and our fans will be in for a nice surprise.
‘Hittin’ The Target’ will be our second release and once again it will be filled with hard rock’n roll riffs. The perfect soundtrack for gulping cold beer!”.

Pre-orders:

  • https://burner-ttk.bandcamp.com/album/hittin-the-target
  • https://timetokillrecords.com/collections/burner

BÜRNER call their music gasoline-fuelled rock with no brakes and with this expression they hit the nail. The three guys from Sweden don’t play stale guitar rock, but groove into R’n’R paradise. Motörhead, AC/DC, Saxon? Admittedly very big names. But you just can’t avoid mentioning those bands while describing BÜRNER. Their music sounds like a spontaneous casual jam, bursting with energy. Their sound is loud and heavy, vibrant and always catchy.

Line-up:

Björn Ohlson – Guitars/Vocals
Mats Thuresson – Bass
Jan Andersson – Drums

DAMNATION PLAN Release Third Single ‘Dreamdead’ from Upcoming Album

Finnish progressive metallers DAMNATION PLAN have released third single ‘Dreamdead’ off their new upcoming album ‘The New Horizon’. The new single represents a more straightforward metal side of the new album than the previously released 8 minute progressive epics ‘The New Horizon’ and ‘Under The Veil Of Sea’.

Guitarist / songwriter Kalle Niininen comments:
“Dreamdead was one of the first new songs we came up for the new album. It got its form by us exploring a little bit lower tunings than usual for this album. The song got its final heavier feel after we introduced the theme riff with its slower drum beat. The chorus is classic Damnation Plan.”

Single / lyricist Asim Searah comments:
“When a soul goes deep into oblivion with sadness and despair, one gets into a state of mind which is hard to fathom. It’s like a constant battle of belief in hope if you keep failing. Dreamdead resolves around such theme and reflects on constant failures in life that make one become hopeless and miserable.”

AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN Share New Single ‘This feels like dying’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 20, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN. Leave a comment

Long running Dutch atmospheric black metal trio AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN has today released a new single, This feels like dying, from their forthcoming tenth album Closure. This feels like dying is the third track to be taken from the upcoming full-length, which is due for release via Prosthetic Records on August 4.

Stream This feels like dying
via Apple Music | TIDAL | Deezer | Bandcamp and Spotify
Pre-order Closure here.

Speaking on This feels like dying‘s release, MCHL (guitars, vocals, keys) comments: “This feels like dying is about living with a constant fear of things going bad, and a sense of an impending end. Sometimes it can feel like these are the last good days.”

In the fifteen years since their 2008 inception AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN have become a staple act in both black metal and shoegaze circles, delivering hauntingly evocative missives of introspective, yearning and sorrow alike. On Closure, the Dutch band continues to push the sonic template of their disparate influences to its limits, resulting in a sound that nurtures their ethereal sensibilities as much as their wall of sound approach to the genre’s more extreme inclinations.

Recorded by the band between September 2021 and May 2022 in the Netherlands, Closure’s production spotlights the trio’s complex melodies with an accomplished sheen without compromising on the staple lo-fi elements of AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN’s foundational intensity.

On their latest full-length, AN AUTUMN FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN’s well trodden themes of loss, love, and self-actualisation continue to be expanded on in depth with an all too human ache permeating throughout. Well over a decade into their existence, primary songwriter MCHL’s vessel for melancholia and catharsis remains as poignant and vital to the modern atmospheric black metal canon as ever.

Closure tracklist:
1. Missed
2. I see you… but never clearly
3. Where pain begins
4. This feels like dying
5. As the void
6. Closure
7. For tomorrow
8. Unable to feel you
9. Culpable
10. Here comes sorrow
