Swedish blackened death metal act HARADRIM is gearing up for the release of the band’s debut full-length record, entitled “Death of Idols”, which will be coming out on June 23rd via Trust No One Recordings and EAT Heavy Records. Following the release of the first single “Venus Falling“, HARADRIM have shared the next intense glimpse of the soon to be released album.
Listen to the new single “Defiling of Spirit” HERE
HARADRIM comments:
“Defiling of spirit is one of the slower tracks on the album and showcases a greater emphasis on the vocals with riffs which adhere to a more classic black metal sound. This song also features a melodic lead guitar in the chorus which returns as the only passage with ambient clean guitars of the album.“
Hailing from the far north of Sweden, HARADRIM was formed during late 2021 and is based around the core duo of Anton Palmborg and Dennis Sjögren. Being a band heavily inspired by the crust and hardcore scene of their hometown Umeå, “Death of Idols” delivers a dynamic and relentless blend of massive tones that will delight all fans of Behemoth, Marduk and Martyrdöd.
“Death of Idols” was recorded and mixed in the summer of 2022 at Lilhuset productions by Andreas Gren. The album was mastered by Dan Swanö (Dissection, Incantation, Asphyx) at Unisound.
The album is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

Five years after “Footprints In The Rock”, NWOBHM unsung heroes TRESPASS are back today with a superb new album entitled “Wolf At The Door”. Encompassing issues and subjects close to their hearts – especially environmental themes – the album was written by founding member, guitar player and vocalist Mark Sutcliffe at his home studio, being later recorded at Crooks Hall Studios, all in the wilds of Suffolk. Nigel Palmer (Raging Speedhorn, Satan’s Empire) then polished altogether in Lowland Masters.
This typical British environment helped Trespass maintain their NWOBHM signature twin-guitar sound, while having a drive and energy in the rhythm section that transports them right back into the 20s. The artwork, by Mark Wilkinson (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) put the final touch in a release that won’t disappoint the old-school fans, as well as new ones.
“Wolf At The Door” is out today on LP (black vinyl, limited to 500), CD and digital formats. Orders are available here.
“Wolf At The Door” tracklist:
1. Blackthorn 2. Daggers Drawn 3. Force Of Nature 4. Other Worlds 5. Ghost Pilot 6. Back To The Woods 7. Crooked Cross 8. Unsinkable 9. Stranger In Paradise 10. Live Like A King 11. Wolf At The Door
Trespass was formed in 1979 in Sudbury, Suffolk by Mark Sutcliffe (guitar, vocals) and his brother Paul on drums. The band enjoyed success and critical acclaim as part of the New wave of British Heavy Metal in the early 80s, although it has only released a few singles and an EP – the cult “Bright Lights”, from 1981. Songs such as “One Of These Days”, “Stormchild” and “Bright Lights” have made their mark.
In the 90s, Trespass was back in full action and in 1993 the band finally released their long-awaited debut album “Head”, helping keep the NWOBHM flame alive in a dark decade for traditional metal. The second album, self-titled, surfaced in 2015, and the group didn’t need another decade for a follow-up, with “Footprints In The Rock” being released three years after, with reactions, confirming that Trespass music is still enjoyed by rock and metal fans all over the world. While preparing the next full-length release, Trespass is currently rehearsing a set of classics old and new, for UK and European shows next year.
“Wolf At The Door” was released on LP (black vinyl, limited to 500), CD and digital formats via From The Vaults on May 26th, 2023.
Lineup: Mark Sutcliffe – guitar/vocals Joe Fawcett – guitar Jason Roberts – drums Wil Wilmot – bass
Jimmy Kay from Canada’s The Metal Voice recently visited and interviewed founder, drummer of Triumph Gil Moore at the legendary Metalworks studio in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
In the chat Moore talked about the future plans of Triumph consisting of a mixed reality tour and part 2 of Rock and Roll Machine documentary. Moore also gave his thoughts on Artificial intelligence in music today and for the future.
When asked if there will a Rock and Roll Machine Documentary part 2 “I think so. I’m probably the only person that thinks that because I remember when we were filming this one (Rock and Roll Machine) I said to Sam Dunn who was the co-director, I said you know we got to keep some of this b-roll here because we’re going to do another one. And he’s like don’t get ahead of yourself and I said hey man my whole career I’ve been ahead of myself that’s how I had a career, so let’s stay with that. I have a plan to do a mixed reality tour for Triumph and I’m very serious about that. I’m working with our lighting director Paul Dexter at Masterworks in Los Angeles. He’s unbelievable and he’s kind of The Godfather of holograms, this is not a hologram Tour by any means. But we are going to use a form of holography or three-dimensional recreation to do this. There’s a lot of Technology involved. Let’s put it this way, it’s not going to be like anything that anybody’s ever seen before if Paul and I get our way with the way we’re developing the content that’s going to be seen. It’s going to be something that’ll blow people’s minds and it’ll be Triumph through and through. I don’t want to say too much other than, the key is, think of mixed reality and what that means, no glasses, no tricks that way. All the tricks will be coming from the stage. but we’ve got some phenomenal plans. All the music is pre-recorded, it’s all from live shows but it will be custom tailored to this particular performance l and it involves some actors. And involves footage of Mike, Rik and Gill and Recreations of Mike Rik and Gill and some of the coolest things that people are going to see in the touring Market, I can tell you that. I have a lot of things that I’m working on that I’m passionate about in the education field and so on for music so I don’t have the bandwidth for another Triumph tour at this stage and you know Mike and Rick have different things they’re doing as well .This is a way to give something to the fans that we know will absolutely knock them right off their chairs. ”
When asked to clarify if this sequel to the Documentary will consist of new video footage “I think there’ll be a tiny bit of the archival footage that’s already in the can from the first documentary that was not stuff that wasn’t used. But I would say there’s gonna be a lot of new footage and it’s going to tie into this tour so I think that the footage that is related to the tour and how we develop the technology that we came up with. And stuff that’s really unusual like some of our technical partners like Microsoft is helping us for example. People would be like what? Yeah Microsoft Microsoft mixed reality yeah they’re really happening you know they’re really helping Triumph, so yeah pretty cool stuff. “

Between 1975-1988, Triumph – singer/guitarist Rik Emmett, singer/drummer Gil Moore, and Levine – rocked the world, and in the process, gave us countless classic hard rock anthems (“Fight the Good Fight,” “Hold On,” “Magic Power,” “Lay It On the Line,” “A World of Fantasy,” etc.) and albums (Just a Game, Progressions of Power, Allied Forces, Never Surrender, Thunder Seven, etc.).
After the Italian alternative rock trio, LOST ZONE, just recently shared an acoustic version of “Burst Like A Dynamite”, today, the band is premiering a stunning version of their song “Other Side (acoustic)”, featuring Tracy Merano on guest vocals! Both tracks will be released with their upcoming new CD edition, entitled Resilience – Full Circle, due out on July 14, 2023 via Drakkar Entertainment / Soulfood Music, and containing nine exclusive acoustic versions and 11 powerful rock tracks.
“The original version of “Other Side” is definitely one of the heaviest songs, which we have written so far, but the basic core of the title is very emotional. It’s about that one important person bringing you back to the “other side” again and again. That’s why we liked the idea of trying out the combination of a male and female voice. We just wrote to Tracy, sent her a demo and she was immediately up for the project.”LOST ZONE singer Florian reveals.
Like “Burst Like Dynamite (acoustic)”, the new LOST ZONE music video was shot at the Pavillon des Fleurs in Merano, South Tyrol, while the band was supported by various session musicians on the piano, violin and also on the acoustic guitar. Watch the new video clip for “Other Side (acoustic)”, featuring Tracy Merano here:
Ever since LOST ZONE debuted with their first EP, followed by Resilience in March 2022, putting the band into a bracket has never been an easy task as they include influences from rock, core but also pop elements into their music. Balancing between brutal, mean riffs and heavy beats, heartfelt ballads, a cover of Linkin Park’s In The End ( with more than a half milion views to date ), between alternative rock, metal core to almost covering the musical spectrum in its entirety, subtle similarities to Bring Me The Horizon, 30 Seconds To Mars and Linkin Park could be noticed. Vocalist / guitarist Florian said: „It’s impossible to fully hide our influences, but we do our very own thing.“
This is underlined by the fact that the Italian three-piece entirely writes, records and produces their music themselves. Drummer Simon reveals, “In 2017 we built our own studio, in order to work on our project independently.“
On July 14, 2023, the band comes full circle with their new, enthralling version of Resilience – Full Circle, the pre-sale has just started via Drakkar Entertainment at THIS LOCATION!
