SAVAGE MASTER are one of the most exciting and electrifying bands in today’s occult heavy metal scene. During the first eight years of existence, SAVAGE MASTER swiftly built an impressive canon of work over the course of three cult albums, one EP, one single, and especially their over-the-top live shows. The band was founded in 2013 by guitarist Adam Neal and vocalist Stacey Savage, inspired by their love of heavy metal and horror. Speed metallers, occult rockers, thrashers, NWOBHM fanatics, everyone in between and especially beyond – all have been entranced by SAVAGE MASTER’s mysteries of steel! Last month SAVAGE MASTER released their brand new studio album “Those Who Hunt At Night”, and will promote it in Europe on the “Those Who Tour At Night” series of shows. „We are very excited to make our much anticipated return to Europe in January. Get ready to hunt or be hunted…!” says the band.

Swedish symphonic death metal outfit SOULDRAINER have announced their new album “Departure”, due for release on November 25 via Black Lion Records. Listen to the first single “Where Angels Come To Die” HERE
It is safe to say that Souldrainer have created their heaviest and most well-crafted album to date. Surely fans of the genre will not be disappointed. Souldrainer are the representation of the next breed of melodic death metal – With thickly layered rhythm guitars, atmospheric angel choirs, string ensembles, and ripping vocals, Souldrainer create a distinct harmonic aggression that hits you harder than a brick wall in your face.
Souldrainer comments: We can’t even begin to describe how proud we are to put DEPARTURE out in the world. DEPARTURE is a journey through your own dark fantasy where anything is possible and we have made sure that every song will leave you with darkness, hopelessness, emptiness, anger, and despair. Enjoy!

ACCEPT just wrapped up a three month tour of European festivals and now have their sights set on their first US tour in 10 years, the “Too Mean To Die – Tour North America 2022”. The band members reflect on the successful tour of Europe:
Wolf Hoffmann, “We just finished an amazing three months run of European festivals. Wow – What a blast!!! These festivals are massive and so much fun!!! Now we are getting ready to bring the metal to the US, for our first full tour in 10 years!! See you in Sept/ Oct for the official ACCEPT “ Too Mean to Die Tour “ North America 2022.”
Mark Tornillo, “The whole festival tour was one big whirlwind! Every show seemed to be better than the one before. The crowds were so into it after being cooped up for 2 years and so were we! It was so great just to get back on stage and do what we do! The band as a 6 piece unit is firing on all cylinders and we can’t wait to bring this madness to America!”
Uwe Lulis, “The Summer run was a full success for the band and a good test for the 3-Guitar-thing. It worked out very, very well. In my opinion it is the best ACCEPT lineup ever, and we cannot wait to play the US in September and October!
Philip Shouse, “Our European festival tour was unforgettable! The crowds were incredible, the energy was unbeatable, and the band was on fire. We can’t wait to focus all of this Metal Momentum on North America this fall!”
Martin Motnik, “The festivals in Europe were an absolute blast! The crowds have been amazing, and you could tell that everyone was totally starved for live music. It felt fantastic being on stage after two years of waiting, and I can’t wait for all the upcoming shows in the US starting in September!
Christopher Williams, “Our European Summer Festival tour was an absolute blast!!! Amazing energy on the stage and from the audiences. Massive crowds singing at the top of their lungs every night. What a joy to be back doing what we do best; Kicking ass and taking names! Very excited for the upcoming US tour. Get ready for the metal onslaught!”

Season of Mist are proud to announce the signing of HENGET! The Finnish avant-garde outfit, containing members of KING SATAN and THE ABBEY will release their debut album via Season of Mist in 2023!
The cornerstone of HENGET is lain in the soil of black metal, yet as well their music draws heavy influence from their peers of death metal, psychedelia and progressive rock, notably including such bands as ARCTURUS, DODHEIMSGÅRD, BEHEMOTH and KING CRIMSON. A constellation of musical perspectives combined to earn HENGET a description by some as “Behemoth on mushrooms”.
HENGET comment on the signing: “It is such an honour to form another circle in Season of Mist’s ever-growing spiral! We are truly thankful for their support and understanding of our artistic visions. Viva Henget & Season of Mist, viva North Star!“
HENGET is a Finnish psychedelic/avant-garde black metal band founded in Finland during late 2021 by guitarist-songwriter Jesse J. Heikkinen and vocalist-lyricist King Aleijster de Satan. Their goal was to create something unique and artistic, something beautiful yet violent, inspired by the world of psychedelia and the occult. HENGET’s debut album ‘Beyond North Star’ was recorded between Late 2021 and early 2022. Drawing inspiration from the ways of ancient Shamanism, it depicts a violent hallucinatory journey to the depths of the mind and beyond. ‘Beyond North Star’ was written and composed through old esoteric techniques such as automatic writing, all combined in visionary experimental artistry.
Line up: King Aleijster de Satan: Vocals Jesse J. Heikkinen: Guitars & additional keys Lasse J. Launimaa: Keyboards Pálmi R. Jóhannsson: Bass guitar Ville J. Rissanen: Drums
