CULT OF LILITH will be touring in support of their debut full-length, Mara, released in 2020 via Metal Blade Records. A frantic collision of death metal, prog, complex classical structures, and more, Mara is a restless, constantly shifting collection that is as imaginative as it is compulsive. No Clean Singing crowned Mara, “one of the absolute best death metal albums of the entire year,” hailing the band’s seamless fusion of, “Soreption-like machine precision, Black Dahlia Murder-styled neoclassical melody, and Revocation’s tendency toward big, imperial, yet technical fusion-esque ideation.” Distorted Sound agreed, “Mara is a deeply-layered album that is rich in flavor, character, and a potency for sheer aural destruction.” Angry Metal Guy championed, “a talented bunch, with excellent performances all around,” noting, “The sheer amount of musical variety is highly entertaining, and the band is great at keeping you guessing.” Added Louder Sound, “CULT OF LILITH deserves credit for sculpting an exquisite piece of modern extremity, putting it in a straightjacket and detonating it with Acme dynamite.”

Underground icon, extreme metal trailblazer, third world warrior, and leader of a diverse and dedicated tribe, Max Cavalera not only survives but thrives, blasting out riff after killer riff. The same voice, body, and spirit which launched SOULFLY in 1997 summons impossibly heavy noise to this day, throwing down ten slabs of monstrous music on the band’s twelfth album, Totem which will be released via Nuclear Blast on August 5th.

Today, the band releases their third single entitled, ‘Filth Upon Filth‘. Watch the animated music video created by Costin Chioreanu, here:

SOULFLY‘s Max Cavalera comments, ‘“‘Filth Upon Filth’ was the first track unleashed to the Tribe last year. Costin has created an amazing, savage rendition of the song! This is a song made by a Headbanger, for Headbangers!“

ELUVEITIE Release Lyric Video for Single ‘Aidus’

Last month ELUVEITIE came back with their new song ‘Aidus’. Today, the band is releasing the brand new lyric video. After the first video for ‘Aidus’ already has more than 700 thousand plays on YouTube, the fantastic lyric video for the song now follows.

Founding member Chrigel Glanzmann comments on the approach:
“Definitely one of the harshest songs of Eluveitie ever. It’s the sheer consequence  of our spiritual journey with “Ategnatos”:
We’re no longer a “Celtic Metal” band… a metal band singing about celtic history. We’re Celts playing metal music from all our hearts.
We’re no more a “Pagan Metal” band. We are metal music playing pagans from all our hearts, gashing principles of our modern societies with our ancient message like a surgical blade.
That’s probably the best way to describe our new single. Deal with it!”

SOURCE OF RAGE Release Video for New Single ‘The Eyes Of The Restless’

SOURCE OF RAGE have released the video for “The Eyes Of The Restless”, the new single from their upcoming studio album “Witness The Mess” which will be released on July 22nd via Metalville Records. Watch the video below.

The band from Hildesheim (near Hannover) stands for melodic groove metal. For danceable neckbreak together with the necessary technical finesse and catchy melodies. Just what makes the party mood and emotions spill over with a cold drink.

Oliver Roffmann and the three brothers Marko, Thilo and Riko Krause complement each other perfectly, which led to them winning the German final of the Wacken Open Air Metal Battles in 2019.

The tracks on the new album are intended to further establish the band’s own sub-genre and to create a unique selling point with their own sound as well as the content-related themes of the songs, which allows them to stand out from the large mass of good modern metal bands.

Hyper Gallery Announces Album Cover Print of Alan Parsons’ From The New World, by Acclaimed Album Cover Artist Ioannis

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ALAN PARSONS, IOANNIS. Leave a comment

Celebrating the new album’s release, this fabulous archival high end print has been published by the HYPERGALLERY in LONDON UK, the world’s premier gallery for authentic signed album cover art, and printed by Visual Impact Studios in Connecticut, USA. The print is numbered and hand signed by both Alan Parsons and the artist, Ioannis. It is limited to only 100 pieces and the series will be closed after that. It will not be available in any other configuration and is the only print signed by the artists. Prints can be ordered now at hypergallery.com for delivery in July. 

“I am absolutely delighted with the artwork Ioannis has created for this album. The title was inspired by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák who wrote a symphony while living in America called ‘From the New World.’ I clearly remember the album from my youth with the New York cityscape on the cover. I love how Ioannis incorporated that among other important images into the artwork.” – Alan Parsons 

Ioannis has worked closely with Alan and his team on the image for Parsons’ latest album. They agreed from the start that it would be published as an art print, giving fans something special to commemorate this highly anticipated release. 

“In the middle of Winter 2022, I received a call from a representative of Alan Parsons to discuss the possibility of working on Alan’s upcoming album artwork. I was honored that they asked for me specifically, having seen my work the previous year. Thus FROM THE NEW WORLD began and it was one of the best experiences that I have ever had with a client. The music was so inspiring to create for. Alan and I agreed to celebrate the occasion with the release of an archival quality print – a high end ‘fine art’ edition, limited to only 100 pieces and signed in pencil by both Alan and myself. This is the first time Alan has done this type of thing and he was as delighted as I was with the result. I am grateful to Hypergallery for helping to release this artwork and making such a unique item available to the dedicated Alan Parsons fan.” – Ioannis 

“When Ioannis met me backstage at a show in NJ for me to sign the prints, I was quite pleased with the end result. The prints were just beautiful.” – Alan Parsons 

The autographed prints will be available to purchase at a special price of $400. 

About Ioannis:
Revered by some of the biggest and best-known bands in the industry, Ioannis has created over 175 dazzling record covers for such musical artists as Deep Purple, Allman Brothers, Uriah Heep, Styx, Blue Oyster Cult, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Bob Weir, Starship, Yngwie Malmsteen, Biohazard, Sepultura, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fates Warning, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Johnny Winter, Extreme, UFO, Bon Jovi, The Tubes, Eddie Money, Jon Anderson, Saga, David Minasian and many others. He has made an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of the USA, creating imagery synonymous with the metal and rock genres in which he excels.

Estonian HORROR DANCE SQUAD Release Video for ‘Ego Death’

Estonia’s most pioneering modern metal band brings a breath of fresh air to this summer heat with their latest release Ego Death. Known for pushing themselves beyond their comfort zone, HORROR DANCE SQUAD has proven time and again that they can conquer new territory with ease. And the opening seconds of Ego Death fulfil the promise their fans have come to love and expect from the band: a juicy and unapologetic blend of pop, punk, and metalcore cowritten with Sander Sadam and wrapped up in a massive mix by Cody Stewart.

Stream Ego Death on your favourite platform: https://push.fm/fl/hds-ego-death 

Reflecting the musical direction of Ego Death, the lyrics speak about self-surrender and transformation. Singer Karl Mesipuu explains, “With this song we are exploring our inner selves and the way we interact with the world around us. We want to reflect on how we are living our lives and how to act with others to make ourselves better.”

Singer Ian Karell adds, “As I get older and take on new responsibilities in life, I recognise the importance of ensuring my actions are not rooted in selfishness. The ego is essentially selfish, so by killing the ego, or at least giving it a backseat, you are able to confidently pursue a more altruistic life.”

Horror Dance Squad – Ego Death (single) 2022

  1. Ego Death
  2. Trouble
  3. Wear The Crown feat. Genka

Music: Mikk Peetrimägi, Indrek Ulp, Henri Kuusk, Sander Sadam
Lyrics: Karl Mesipuu, Ian Robert Karell, (Henri Kõrvits (Genka) only on Wear The Crown)

Released on July 7th via Inverse Records.
