CELLAR DARLING Announce UK/EU Tour Dates for October 2023

Folk prog trio CELLAR DARLING have revealed details of a run of headline shows throughout the UK and Europe for this October. Support for all shows will come from IAMTHEMORNING and MAER.

The band comments “After the incredible shows we got to share with our fans in the UK and North America at the end of last year, it was time for us to retreat and write new music — and yes, we’ll soon share more on how that is going. But in the meantime, we just can’t sit still! So we decided to fulfil a wish we had for some time and invited the incredible Iamthemorning to share the stage with us for a series of very special autumn evenings. And it just so happens that our very own Anna Murphy has recently released a collaboration with Iamthemorning’s Marjana Semkina in the form of the dark folk/chamber prog project Maer, who will be making an exclusive appearance as well. It’ll be magical and we can’t wait to see you all there!”

Video by: Volume agency

“Forgotten Myths and Legends” is a musical journey that explores lost stories and legends from different cultures and eras. Each song is fascinating, epical, and well-crafted to take each listener back through an old world of magic, kings, and dark mystical times. The songs consist of furious yet mesmerizing guitars, celestial and melancholy atmospheres, and harsh vocals while drumming to the call of battle.

Tracklist:
01 Forged in the Fires of Hephaestos
02 Forgotten Myths and Legends
03 Sky Fortress of Wizardry
04 Crystallized Within the Caverns of Time
05 Through the Enchanted Forest of Illusions
06 Awaiting Where Calm Winds Blow at Nightfall
07 The Cronos Stone
08 Lost on a Boundless Journey (Voyage)
09 Sparks of Light Atop Towers Deserted for Ages

Ancestral Blood’s music is described as atmospheric battle metal with celestial vibrance. The band cites influences from 90s underground black metal and old releases by bands such as Ishtar, Isvind, Arthemesia, Vordven, Trollheims Grott, Ringnevond, Summoning, and Windir.

Progressive Power Metal veterans NOVERIA have released a video for ‘Overlord’, first single taken from the new album ‘The Gates of the Underworld’ to be released on August 25th via Scarlet Records.

Stream the single at https://bfan.link/overlord

The forbidden gates of prog metal

The modern progressive metal agenda: Noveria’s goal is to create a complete headbanging experience with a melodic twist, combining massive and heavy riffs with dark atmospheric keyboards along with technically challenging solo sections and memorable vocal lines. 

‘The Gates of The Underworld’ takes things to a personal level, each song featuring real life stories from the band as well as from the fans. The human condition is ever present with all its challenges and mysteries, explored through the lens of both scientific research and lived experience. 

With their new album, Noveria will take you on a wild roller-coaster ride through a psychotic break, escaping a narcissistic relationship, the aftermath of surviving a heart attack, a near death experience, and much more!

  • Noveria features members of DGM, Ethernity, Epysode and Paul Gilbert (live)
  • produced by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio
  • cover & artwork by Nicolas Spreutels

NOVERIA:

Francesco Corigliano – vocals
Francesco Mattei – guitar
Julien Spreutels – keyboards
Andrea Arcangeli – bass
Davide Calabretta – drums

Finnish ERASE THIS EARTH Release New Single ‘King of Lies’

Finnish melodic death metal band ERASE THIS EARTH released a new single King of Lies via Inverse Records. 

LISTEN to King of lies on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/erase-this-earth-king

The band comments:
“Our newest song King of Lies is a slight departure from our previous releases, mostly by its more melodic nature and catchy chorus section that makes it “almost radio friendly”. However, the single does not herald a change of genre for the band in a softer direction, but it is a purposefully separate adventure for a band that continues to focus more on the “death” side of melodeath.

Heikki: “In the familiar Erase This Earth style, the playing doesn’t spare any notes with any instrument, and on the vocal side, dynamics were sought as far as we could while maintaining consistency and quality. The end result is, in my opinion, a functional package that has a suitable grip surface and still offers something interesting for the musically inclined.”

Mikko: “The song has been waiting for the light of day in the desk drawer for too long, so it’s great to have it finally released. Although the style may be a little different from the traditional Erase This Earth, it’s definitely one of my live favorites thanks to the instrumental fun-factor and melodic hooks.”

Janne: “To a large extent, the idea was to take a little break from more technical trickery for the sake of change, dig out those camo shorts you bought when you were 15 and let loose with that nice Gothenburg taste in your mouth.”

Antti: “It’s an absolute joy to play this song live, at home, or even in a garden. But an even greater joy is to hear this song recorded, since this is something we’ve been waiting for quite a long time. The result is way better than what I had courage to hope for – even though the camo shorts, bought when I was 15 (mentioned by Janne), don’t definitely fit and I had to listen to this song without pants.” 

Composed by Antti Ohtonen & Mikko Niskanen
Lyrics by Heikki Mäki
Single cover by Matias Stenman

Death metal group from Tampere, Finland est. 2017.

In the beginning, guitarist and primary songwriter Mikko Niskanen invited mutual long-time friends Heikki Mäki (vocals) and Antti Ohtonen (guitar) to form a proper band with. Following some years playing more casually and getting a full time drummer Matias Rokio, proper production was started at 2021 with the release of debut single ‘In Their Name’. Right after their first release, ETE played their first gig and filled the lineup with Janne Pihlajaniemi (bass). Band’s first EP ‘Signs’ was released in the spring of 2022 and followed up with the single release ‘Out of Time’ which has enjoyed some attention even internationally.

Musically Erase This Earth combines elements of melodic death metal with a hint of tech and progressive styles influenced by the main composers’ personal tastes and backgrounds. This keeps the discography fairly diverse with songs ranging from straight warp-speed barrages to more progressive works such as Signs.

Line-Up:
Mikko Niskanen – Guitar
Antti Ohtonen – Guitar & backing vocals
Heikki Mäki – Vocals
Matias Rokio – Drums
Janne Pihlajaniemi – Bass
