CLAMORIS Release Second Single ‘A Window to My Dreams’

Finnish neoclassical symphonic melodic death metal band CLAMORIS is set to release their debut album Opus Limbonica on October 28th 2022 via Inverse Records. The second single “A Window to My Dreams” is released today.

Listen to the single on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/clamoris-window 

Composer & lyricist Sami Selkäinaho comments:
“The second single from Opus Limbonica, “A Window to My Dreams”, is the mid-point of the album. The song is dark and hateful, yet driven by melody. It contains some of the trickiest leadworks in all of Opus Limbonica. 

Containing a lot of different passages, the song is glued together by firey guitar and synth leadwork and the chorus sections. Tempowise, the song represents the more mid-tempo material of the album but still has the characteristic neoclassical elements of the album.

“A Window to My Dreams” is inspired by the earlier works of Symphony X, Children of Bodom and The Kovenant and puts the emphasis on melodic riffs and especially neoclassical leads.”

The lyric video for the first single “Rage, Rain Down on Them” is available here: https://youtu.be/xD7W8hpVo20

Opus Limbonica -tracklist

1) Regurgitated
2) The Bite of The Cosmic Snake
3) Schemer’s Paradox
4) A Window to My Dreams
5) Rage, Rain Down on Them
6) Forma Inversa
7) Opus Limbonica
8) Walking in the Graveyard

Their debut album, Blood In Blood Out, will be released on October 21, 2022 on AFM Records.

Our rhythm section is also amazing including Malte Frederik Burkert on bass, Francesco Jovino on drums and Mike Pesin on Rythym guitar. To be clear this is not just a project this is a full group and Herman and I feel we’ve got many years of creating and playing live shows together. The music is metal but with melody, great riffs and grooves and from a lyrical perspective there are many songs where there’s something for everyone to identify with. I look forward to touring and seeing all the fans in the near future!”

Southern Californian death/thrash battalion EXMORTUS has officially joined the roster of metal’s heaviest label Nuclear Blast Records. In addition to the signing announcement, the band is giving fans a taste of their highly-anticipated next album with the single ‘Oathbreaker,’ which is available for streaming now and accompanied by the music video created by Wayne Joyner (DREAM THEATER, DEVIN TOWNSEND).

Commenting on the signing, founding guitarist Jadran “Conan” Gonzalez says: 

“We are very excited to announce that our upcoming album will be our first with Nuclear Blast as our new label. We’re working with them to bring you what we consider to be our best album yet!”

Adding about the single, Conan states: 

“‘Oathbreaker’ is the perfect teaser for the new album. Not only is it fast, heavy and filled with shred, but it’s inspired by Tolkien’s haunting lore of the Dead Men of Dunharrow in the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King. While our previous work focused more on the heroic aspect of fantasy and sword & sorcery, this album expresses the darker side with tragic heroes and horrors of humanity. Enjoy the new track cause we feel it belongs in our setlists for years to come!”

EXMORTUS‘ new single was produced and mixed by Zack Ohren (MACHINE HEAD, FALLUJAH) and is the first new music since 2018’s acclaimed full-length The Sound of Steel and subsequent 2019 EP, Legions of the Undead. The band recently supported DEATH ANGEL on the road and are expected to announce additional touring soon.

About EXMORTUS:
Founded by guitarist Jadran “Conan” Gonzalez when he was just 12 years old, EXMORTUSreleased their debut album, In Hatred’s Flame, via Heavy Artillery in 2008. After gaining additional acclaim with their 2011 sophomore effort Beyond The Fall Of Time, the group signed a three-album deal with Prosthetic Records in 2013. In support of that acclaimed trilogy of releases (2014’s Slave To The Sword, 2016’s Ride Forth and 2018’s The Sound Of Steel), the band toured alongside some of metal’s biggest names, such as AMON AMARTH, DEATH ANGEL, ABBATH, MARTY FRIEDMAN, OBITUARY and DARK TRANQUILLITY, earning extensive praise along the way for their live power, prowess and proficiency.

Now signed with powerhouse label Nuclear Blast Records, EXMORTUS enters the next phase of their career, armed with their best record yet due to infiltrate the metal masses sometime in 2023.

Last week THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA delivered the ultimate summer hit with their brand new single ´Black Stars And Diamonds’. Today the band have released a brand new video to accompany the single.

Frontman Björn Strid reveals the story behind the video:
 “After our incredible show at Metalfest in Plzen, some of us decided to stay for another day in the heart of Prague. As we had a new gem up our sleeves we couldn’t resist to record a video for it. We therefore spent 8 hours riding at the back of a trailer through Prague while waving with cupped hands and met nothing but smiles and excitement from people in the streets. It was an incredible hot day that turned into a tropical night and this is what came out of it! Enjoy and crank it loud!”

Together with the release of thew single, the band announced a lineup change last week:

Björn about:
“We are very thrilled to officially welcome the amazing Åsa Lundman to the fold! This marks a new era for the band as her and Anna Brygård unite as the unstoppable back up duo  The Aeromanticas. Make sure you follow them on social media! We are very thrilled to share this new single with you, which debuts this amazing back up duo. The future looks so damn bright you ought to use the bottom of champagne bottles as goggles! Enjoy!”

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA released their latest album “Aeromantic II” in September 2021 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Psych Dark Folk Artist NERO KANE Announces New Album “Of Knowledge and Revelation”

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

Psych Dark Folk songwriter Nero Kane just announced his brand new album “Of Knowledge and Revelation”, which will see the light of day on September 30th via Italy’s experimental label Subsound Records!

“Of Knowledge and Revelation marks a new path in my constant spiritual pilgrimage through darkness, fog and light. A journey made of solitude, of rise and fall, in a world that recalls Dante’s Limbo. I love feeding myself with visions, literature and painting in particular.” Nero Kane states. 

Nero Kane’s psych dark folk world is intimate, minimal and decadent. Both in his vocals and guitar style, his European roots intertwine with America’s desert sound in a project full of emotional vision and cinematic Jlavour. His music has been defined as a suspended and crepuscular journey particularly concerned with death, religion and love.”Of Knowledge and Revelation”, Nero Kane’s third studio album, was recorded near Venice in a fertile collaboration with producer Matt Bordin (Squadra Omega / Omega Mai / Italian Occult Psychedelia) of Outside Inside Studio, and features visual artist, performer and filmmaker Samantha Stella, whose voice has been defined as “evoking the ghost of Nico”. In the last five years Kane and Stella performed together for Nero Kane’s concerts in clubs, theaters, churches, museums and art galleries in Italy, Europe, UK and Los Angeles. Their live performances have been described as journeys through darkness and melancholy, with the creation of a morbid beauty and an intensity which make them unique.

Tracklist reads as follows:

  1. Lady of Sorrow
  2. Burn the Faith
  3. The Vale of Rest
  4. The Pale Kingdom
  5. The End, the Beginning, the Eternal
  6. Lacrimi și Sfinți
  7. The River of Light
  8. Sola Gratia

“Of Knowledge and Revelation” will be available in CD/LP/digital formats and is available for pre-order here:
