AWAKE AT LAST have released their new song titled “Living Fiction” to all digital outlets! “Living Fiction” is available at: https://onerpm.link/livingfiction.

Produced by Kile Odell with post production by Skold (Former Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, etc), the hard-hitting track contains plenty of angst at the current state of the world.

“Technology plays a significant role in all of our lives, ‘Living Fiction’ asks the question of whether or not it plays too much of a starring role in our lives. It’s about the data we share, and how as a whole we’ve become more and more addicted to it. When we were writing I noticed how much I had come to rely on technology and social media to have a window to everything when the world had kinda shut down. Technology boomed and I just started noticing patterns and how much they’d become a rhythmic part of my life,” says the band’s vocalist, Vincent Torres.

He adds, “I think we captured that energy in the song and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Tim Skold, who went in and added to that rhythm his signature more industrial elements that have made him Iconic. With that blend of energies I think it came out feeling like we are sort of absorbed in the technology rhythm. It’s been amazing getting back to things and seeing how our amazing fan base continues to support and rock with us. I’m Optimistic about the future and it is so good to get back into shows and releases.”

Finnish folk metal project RECOLLECTION released a music video for “An Offering of Sanguine”, which is the second single from their upcoming debut album. The song combines acoustic textures with harsher distorted guitars, creating a stark contrast between the elements of the song – a contrast that reflects the relationship of man and nature, the main theme of the song.

The album, which is titled “Through the Veil of Future Past”, is set for release on the 15th of July, 2022 through Savo-Karelian Productions.

Italian horror metal veterans CADAVERIA unveil their latest video for “Silver Rain”. The dark and atmospheric new hymn is taken from the band’s sixth full-length record “Emptiness”, out now via Time To Kill Records.

Frontwoman Cadaveria comments: “We want to thank you all for the great feedback you are giving us on the ‘Emptiness’ album! This video is dedicated to those who, finding themselves in adversity, have learned to dance in the rain, without waiting for the storm to end. Surely someone will see in some scenes an explicit homage to David Lynch, who has always been our mentor in the language of cinema, and to the recently deceased Julee Cruise”.

Whether you call them horror, gothic or dark metal, one thing is certain: in their 20+ years career  CADAVERIA have become one of the most iconic bands of the Italian metal scene.

“Emptiness” tracklist:

01 – The Great Journey (04.55)
02 – Shamanic Path (05.10)
03 – Emptiness (05.00)
04 – The Woman Who Fell to Earth (05.52)
05 – Divination (03.07)
06 – Matryoshcada (05.09)
07 – Silver Rain (04.24)
08 – The Cure (04.52)
09 – Life After (04.35)
10 – La Casa dell’Anima (04.55)
11 – The Sky That Screams Above Us (05.33)
12 – * Return (04.04) – Deine Lakaien cover
*bonus track, on the vinyl version only

CADAVERIA is the creative alter-ego of Italian-based metal singer Raffaella Rivarolo, better known by her stage name Cadaveria, one of the first women to hit the extreme metal scene in the early Nineties.

CADAVERIA band was founded in 2001 by Cadaveria herself and drummer Marçelo Santos, to freely express themselves as musicians and extreme artists.

Since CADAVERIA’s debut album The Shadows’ Madame (2002) the band’s style is labeled Horror Metal. Their personal sound is imbued with gloomy and sinister atmospheres and it mixes Black Metal with classical Heavy Metal, Death Metal and Gothic influences. The lyrics, scheming, hermetic and introspective, mirror the dark soul and the vexed personality of the singer Cadaveria.

2021 is a meaningful one for CADAVERIA band, as the band celebrate its 20 years of activity. A career that boasts five full length albums, some reissues, an EP (with Necrodeath), a retrospective double DVD and a huge support from fans of Central America, where CADAVERIA have made a series of headlining tours, between 2007 and 2015.

From 2012 on, with the release of the most recent albums Horror Metal and Silence, CADAVERIA have been engaged in many live dates that have seen them protagonists of different stages in Russia, Germany, France, Belgium, Romania, as well as numerous Italian shows as headliner and in support of Cradle of Filth, Arch Enemy and many more.

CADAVERIAhave recently released a series of new singles, that mark the band’s return to the scene after a long pause, during which the singer had to be treated for cancer.

German power metal space warriors VICTORIUS enter the last round with their new single, “Night of the Nuclear Ninja”! The track comes just a few days before this Friday’s release of their new album, Dinosaur Warfare Pt. 2 – The Great Ninja War – the final showdown in their fight to protect mankind against the Sunbladers! “Night of the Nuclear Ninja” features strong vocals, epic tunes and powerful instruments building up a commanding metal anthem. The track comes along with a gloomy and captivating lyric video illustrating the song with nuclear aesthetics.

Dirk (vocals) on “Night Of The Nuclear Ninja”:
“A new foe appears on the horizon! A warrior, glowing in the dark, fueled by atomic hatred and nuclear fury! Enter the night of the nuclear ninja! Enjoy our latest and last single before our brand new album will be released!”

Dinosaur Warfare Pt. 2 – The Great Ninja War sets off with a monumental introduction as it flows into “Victorious Dinogods”. The track initiates battle with relentless power metal as the mighty dinogods resurrect to protect mankind against the space ninja attack. Luckily, the dinogods don’t stand alone, as they are proudly joined in battle by the “Mighty Magic Mammoth”, awakened by a fiery comet. But wait, there are more brothers-in-arms (and songs) on their way – like “Jurassic Jetfighters”, “Triceps Ceratops” and “Tyrannosaurus Steel”. The three join forces to fight the ninjas and their fearsome dragon, as fabled on smashing track “Dinos and Dragons”, spiced with an intense guitar solo praising the tradition of speed metal with a remarkable virtuosity. A foreshadowing of what’s to come when the ninjas take command is described with “Katana Kingdom Rising”, setting off with stomping drums that lead to an anthemic chorus. Strong symphonic elements are witnessed on “God of Roar” as well as on the powerful track “Night of the Nuclear Ninja”, which tells the story of the space ninjas transforming into even deadlier, nuclear versions of themselves. This is when another grand figure joins the fold: the giant “Powerzord”, a mighty robot lord, who comes to the aid of the dinosaurs in battle with the aim of finally freeing mankind from the space ninja threat. Will the dinos and their brave supporters manage to prevent the nuclear ninja kingdom from rising? Find out on Dinosaur Warfare Pt. 2 – The Great Ninja War – a roaring good time for all!

VICTORIUS on Dinosaur Warfare Pt. 2 – The Great Ninja War:
“Mighty Dinosaurriors! Get ready for the next chapter of our epic quest! Dinosaur Warfare Pt. 2 – The Great Ninja War is nothing more than the most ambitious album we´ve ever made. 12 songs full of speed, melodies, hooks and epic-ness! Together with producer Lars Rettkowitz we’ve created the soundtrack for an intergalactic Power Metal adventure you can´t escape from. The war rages on! Choose your side!”
