By the end of 2022, dark and extreme metal heavy weigths GRAVEWORM released a first song, “Dead Words” (Listen HERE!), seven long years since their latest studio album, “Ascending Hate“.

Formed in 1997, with nine studio records and countless tours with bands such as Kataklysm, Vader and Destruction to name just a few, GRAVEWORM belongs to one of the most influential acts the dark and extreme metal scene has to offer. While “Dead Words” already delivered the grinding intensity the band is known and loved for, marking an exciting harbinger of a new album to come in the Spring of 2023 on AFM Records, today the Italian five-piece has shared a lyric video for new single “Escorting The Soul”!

Says vocalist Stefano Fiori: “Escorting The Soul is the second single of our upcoming album, a typical GRAVEWORM-, midtempo track with some fast parts and a melodic chorus. The lyrics of this song are about the brutality and meaninglessness of war in general.”

Greek progressive metallers MASK OF PROSPERO are back with their second album “Hiraeth”. It´s released via Swedish label ViciSolum Productions today, January 27th. The bands’ musical identity can be described as a blend of Djent and Metalcore vibes, with cinematic arrangements and electronic textures. Vocals range from deafening growls to melodic pop lines.

Watch their new video ‘Divided’, below.

Mask of Prospero is a progressive metalcore band that was built based on love for the human and the earthly element oflife, for the feelings that spring from music, but also for the music that springs from this feeling. The character of a band, after all, is not formed only by the externalization of ideas, but mostly through an internal struggle to construct a unique identity.

The single features famous Finnish metal rap artist Nyrkki-Kyllikki. An extraordinary music video is done for the single and it is directed by Anton Paananen and produced by Niklas Nordling.

Guitarist & Bass player Santtu Rosén comment:
“The last single from Dead End Finland’s new album to be released in March is called “Up so high, down so low”. Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes it’s important to take a deeper look at what’s really important. You can never say for sure what a jump into the unknown will bring, but sometimes a new beginning can be found in a free fall. “Up so High, Down so low” encourages to take that leap of faith. The song features the Finnish metal-rap artist Nyrkki-Kyllikki.”
