VENTED is an international supergroup featuring Sean Zatorsky (Sinsaenum, Chimaira), Austin D’Amond (DevilDriver, Bleed The Sky), Gergo Hajer (Omega Diatribe), and Simon C. Bondar (Sexual Education, White Tiger).

Their brand new song’s called ‘The End Game’ from the upcoming full-length debut record ‘Cruelty And Corruption’ takes you back in time to the finest era of groove metal with pure sonic aggressiveness, soul squeezing melodies, wall breaker riffs and insane drumming.

Vented has started to work on their debut record in 2021 originally with the mighty Joey Jordison (ex-Slipknot/Vimic/Sinsaenum) on drums and french music producer HK Krauss (Sinsaenum, Betraying The Martyrs, Dagoba…etc) but due to the unfortunate tragedy, Austin jumped behind the drums to keep Joey’s legacy.

‘Cruelty And Corruption’ will contains 13 bangers which showscase the rawness and sonic brutality of the band!

The new album ‘Eos’ introduces vocalist Mike Slembrouck and drummer Bert Guillemont, who add an impressive dose of melody and intensity to the band’s sound.

With ‘Eos’, founders Dries Van Damme (guitar) and Christophe Depree (guitar), along with long-time bass player Frederik Vanmassenhove, once again confirm their position as one of Belgium’s finest metal bands.

Like every AFTER ALL album since 2009, ‘Eos’ was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound.

The new album features stunning artwork by Travis Smith.

‘Eos’ will be available on CD, vinyl and on all major digital platforms.

EINHERJER Release Live Version of ‘Dragons of the North’ + Artwork Video

Entering the last powerful round before its release, EINHERJER reveal the third single from their upcoming live album, Norse And Dangerous (Live… From The Land Of Legends). “Dragons of the North” stands as one of the band’s trademark songs. Originally released over 25 years ago on their debut album, Dragons of the North (1996), it offers powerful, husky live vocals and heavy drum and guitar elements, marking another featured staple of the band.

Norse And Dangerous (Live… From The Land Of Legends) was recorded in the band’s hometown of Haugesund in February of last year at their North Star album release shows, and follows the release of said full length, which was acclaimed both by fans and media alike (Spark 5/5 [CZ], Deaf Forever 8/10 [DE], Hardline 8.5/10 [DE], Metal Hammer 8/10 [UK]).

World-renowned Norsemen EINHERJER have returned to unleash their fantastic, grim sound once more! Founded in 1993, the metal veterans have spent nearly 30 years making their mark on the Viking metal genre with eight studio albums and two EPs. This year, the band even reached another benchmark, earning a nomination for a Spellemann Award – the most important music prize in their home country of Norway!

Norse And Dangerous (Live… From The Land Of Legends) sets off with great opener “West Coast Groove” from their most recent studio album, North Star. Next, “The Spirit Of A Thousand Years” showcases EINHERJER’s technical songwriting sophistication with the finest guitar solos, while “The Blood & The Iron” offers bursting, intense energy and “Kill The Flame” lures with its characteristic riffage. But the band doesn’t stop with more recent songs! After visiting several other favorites, the band soon returns to days of yore with tracks like “Dragons Of The North” and “Ballad Of The Swords” from their 1996 debut full-length Dragons Of The North, before closing with turn-of-the-century banger “Ironbound” and classic tune “Far Far North”. The live contrast between their formative hits and more recent orchestrations clearly proves that the band has remained true to themselves throughout the decades, continually delivering an authentic sound.

EINHERJER on the live album Norse And Dangerous (Live… From The Land Of Legends):
“With no gigs in a year and new blood in our ranks, we recorded the two hometown release shows just to get an idea of what we sounded like live in 2021. It only took one listen to realize that our fans would appreciate this as much as we did. EINHERJER live is an energetic experience. We want to let everyone hear that, so here’s our first live album, recorded live on our home turf in front of many familiar faces. The document of a great evening!”

GUNASH Release New Live Video ‘Predators’ Feat. Nick Oliveri

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: GUNASH. Leave a comment

Italian alternative rock/post grunge outfit GUNASH have released a brand new live video for the track “Predators” today! “Predators” is taken off the band’s latest album “All You Can Hit” (Go Down Records) and features guest vocals from none other than the legendary Nick Oliveri!

Luca Negro (bass) comments:

“With Predators, we managed to combine our fastest and angriest music and we selected one of the most important collaboration so far to do it. Nick Oliveri is one of the most iconic figures and one of our favourite musicians, a wonderful person to make music with“.

Danilo Abaldo (drums) continues:

“The song ‘Predators’ is a powerful and roaring single arising from the lucky match between our band and Nick Oliveri. Nick immediately loved the track and included it in his latest compilation ‘N.O. Hits At All Vol. 7’. This live footage is the precious testimony of the debut performance of this song, during the sold out show at the Brin de Zinc Club, in Barberaz, France. We can’t wait to play on the same stage again on Sunday 7th August 2022, when Gunash will be an opener for Nick Oliveri and Brant Bjork’s Stöner at the Freakout Club in Bologna, Italy“.

Ivano Zorgniotti (vocals, guitar) adds: “Nick was the right foot for that kickass boot“

The band’s current album “All You Can Hit” is intended as an ironic joke against the trend of recent years in many restaurants, which GUNASH sees as one of the many examples of our society’s overwhelming and endless consumerism. The choice of showing pictures of inedible food explains the band’s statement on this matter. They want to send out a strong message with ‘EAT’ that turns into ‘HIT’, that is, hitting everyone’s conscience. The lyrics talk about relationships between people, the concept of ‘possessing’ someone else, and how difficult it is to keep our status as human beings, as well as the one of being humans.

With artwork by Ivano ‘Zor’ Zorgniotti and Ale Martone, the album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Fausto De Bellis at Muxland Studio and Morphing Studio in Bologna, Italy and features guest musicians such as Nick Oliveri, Marco Allocco, Tom Harp Newton and Derek Sherinian.

“All You Can Hit” is out now on Go Down Records and is available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

DRAGONLAND Release Music Video ‘Flight From Destruction‘ from Upcoming Album

More than ten years without a new studio album could be reason enough for a band to fall into oblivion, unless of course they left a lasting impression on their fans before their hiatus. In case of Swedish melodic metal masters DRAGONLAND, who have inspired their extensive following repeatedly since the release of their debut The Battle Of The Ivory Plains in 2001, the anticipation of new material has continued to grow from year to year since their 2011 release Under The Grey Banner. Finally, DRAGONLAND returns to the heavy music scene, with their brand new, colossal album The Power Of The Nightstar, which is slated for a release on October 14, 2022 via AFM Records!

Following the previously-released, first single and album title track, now, DRAGONLAND shared a music video for a new song, “Flight From Destruction”, showcasing the album’s amazing range of wonderfully haunting, fast-paced melodic metal the band is known and loved for!

Get the song on all digital platforms HERE!

The Power Of The Nightstar impressively illustrates, that DRAGONLAND continue to be among the most energetic and passionate bands of their genre. The album is not only the band’s longest and most elaborate record to date, it also documents a remarkable artistic development. “The overall approach is a bit more cinematic sound-wise than our earlier releases,” keyboardist Elias Holmlid explains, adding: “Compared to ‘Under The Grey Banner’, the new album features more electronic elements while retaining and refining the symphonic parts. Fans of Dragonland will definitely recognize the songwriting style, which we’ve taken to even more epic proportions this time around, with dense choirs and maximized production values.”

DRAGONLAND‘s upcoming magnum opus was mixed and mastered by studio icon Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, and will be available on October 14, 2022 through AFM Records. The pre-sale has just started at THIS LOCATION!
