CABAL Announce New Album “Magno Interitus”, Release Video for First Single

Today’s the longest day of the year, followed by a short magical night: Midsummer. It’s the perfect time to celebrate with flowers and plants, lightheartedly and with your loved ones in ecstatic joy. But this year, something dark lurks under the flower wreaths – ready to herald the uprising of the most brutal metal force that Denmark ever unleashed into the world.

Praised as one of the most promising and interesting bands in the Danish deathcore scene, CABAL gets ready to enter a new level in their so-far impressive career that recently has been crowned by pumped liveshows alongside bands like LORNA SHORE or NASTY. Today, the band announces their new longplayer Magno Interitus that will be released on October 21st via Nuclear Blast.  

CABAL states:
“The album Magno Interitus – which translates to the great decay, was written during the pandemic when we felt like everything was falling apart right in front of us, both in grand scheme of things but also on a much more personal level. So most of the songs serve as an outlet for all of the emotions we’ve felt during this time, which is also why this might not be the most uplifting album ever produced. The album was recorded, produced and mixed and mastered by our very own Chris Kreutzfeldt.”

The album will be available as Digipak [limited edition], Black Single LP, Crystal Clear with Gold Single LP [limited to 500 units, Mailorder + Wholesale exclusive], Gold + Black Marbled Single LP [limited to 500 units, USA exclusive], Crystal Clear with Red + Black Splatter Single LP [limited to 300 units, bandshop exclusives] and on all streaming platforms.

Preorder Magno Interitus here: https://cabal.bfan.link/magno-interitus.ema

The announcement of Magno Interitus comes with a track that couldn’t be a better fit for this special day. Check out the track for ‘Exsanguination’ here:

CABAL is one of the most brutal and promising heavy acts hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark. The band aims to create a visceral and doom-laden atmosphere throughout both their music and visual expression. The production is crystal clear, whilst the songwriting draws inspiration from everything from black and death metal to djent and hardcore.
Since the release of their debut album “Mark of Rot” in 2018, the young band has managed to make a name for themselves in both Denmark and the rest of the world by playing renowned festivals like Copenhell, Roskilde Festival, Euroblast Festival and Complexity Fest as well as touring in Europe, Japan and North America.
CABAL released the sophomore album “Drag Me Down” in April 2020 – a dark descent into a personal hell brought to life by crushing instrumentals, an oppressive atmosphere and dark personal lyrics delivered with relentless intensity, while still leaving room for experimentation and expansion of CABAL’s signature sound. Add to this guest appearances from metal titans TRIVIUM’s Matt Heafy, rising metalcore stars POLARIS’ Jamie Hails and Denmark’s Blackgaze darlings MØL’s Kim Song Sternkopf and there is no doubt that CABAL is a band with friends in every corner of the metal scene.

Just recently, Morten Veland (SIRENIA, MORTEMIA and founder of TRISTANIA) released the 10th Mortemia song ‘What Else is There?’ from ‘The Pandemic Pandemonium Sessions’. The track features Zora Cock (Blackbriar) on guest vocals and it is available on all digital platforms. ‘What Else is There?’ is a cover version of the Norwegian band Röyksopp’s original version released back in 2005’.

Today MORTEMIA release a new official video for ‘What else is there?’, watch it below.

Morten Veland:

“I am proud and honoured to introduce Zora Cock from Blackbriar as my special guest for ‘The Pandemic Pandemonium Sessions’. The 10th song is entitled ‘What Else is There?’, and will be available on all digital platforms on the 17th of June 2022. This song is a cover version of the Norwegian band Röyksopp originally released back in 2005. Sirenia and Blackbriar performed at the same festival in The Netherlands some years ago, and that’s when I first discovered the band and Zora’s unique voice. Zora has a really haunting and distinct voice that really stands out, a signature voice so to say. As soon as she starts singing you can immediately tell it’s her. After the show in The Netherlands I was an instant fan of Blackbriar and Zora. I feel truly privileged and thankful to have Zora on board this project, and I am really looking forward to sharing this song with you all. I find this song very unique and special and it will definitely add to the great variety on The Pandemic Pandemonium Sessions.”

Zora Cock:

“A little while ago I went to a Sirenia show and met up with Morten afterwards. The show was amazing and so was the meet-up with Morten! He played me the song he had in mind for me and it really made an impression on me. I was so enthusiastic about it that I started recording my vocals the next day. This song shows a different side of me, yet I still feel like it fits me very well. I love music that can put you in some sort of trance, and I think this one will do that to you. Working with Morten feels like a wish come true, and I hope you’ll love this collaboration as much as I do!”

After 11 years of silence Norwegian multi-instrumentalist, producer and artist Morten Veland is once more active with his solo project Mortemia, this time with a brand new concept. ‘The Pandemic Pandemonium Sessions’ is a series of singles  released on a monthly basis, each song featuring a well known and highly profiled guest singer from the metal scene, so far the following singers has contributed:

Hardly any hard rock act has seen a rise recent years like the all-female rock band THUNDERMOTHER. Following their latest, chart-breaking album Heat Wave (2020), that has been praised by both fans and international music press alike, August 19, 2022 will see the Swedish rock ladies release their hotly anticipated, new album, Black And Gold, via AFM Records!

Twelve adrenaline-fuelled songs will take you on a wild, high voltage and powerful ride into the filthy yet catchy rock ‘n’ roll sound THUNDERMOTHER is known and loved for: Creating infectious party rock songs with an irresistible feelgood appeal! Without any doubt, Black And Gold looks set to be a real landmark and next level for the charismatic, authentic and ambitious band, as previously-released, first singles “I Don’t Know You” and “Watch Out” already proved. Now, THUNDERMOTHER has shared a warm-hearting lyric video created by drummer Emlee Johansson, featuring never-before-seen footage of the band members and their childhoods, for new album single “Hot Mess”!

“Hot Mess, is about finding that one person that really sees you and accepts you for who you are, flaws and all.” Vocalist Guernica Mancini comments.

“About the video, we couldn’t be more happy! Emlee has really been able to capture the emotions of the song in this beautifully executed video, from the melancholy of being away from someone you love and wanting to find that love and then to finally having it. Emlee’s talent goes beyond and we are so grateful that we are fortunate enough to have such a multi-talented, creative force in our tribe. We love this video, and we love her!!

Emlee adds: “To my band, thank you for believing in me as a video director/producer and trusting me with my vision. To my sisters, thank you for lending me the equipment necessary to make this video happen and last but not least, thank you Petter for always being my rock, coach and problem solver, without your support I would have lost my mind!“

With four studio albums to date and countless, frenetically acclaimed live shows under their belt – not even the Corona pandemic could completely slow the band down and they played concerts from such as the roof of a fire truck, THUNDERMOTHER were born for the stage, their energetic live shows have to be seen. Word of this has spread all the way to the top, and THUNDERMOTHER has just received the highest honor: none other than the legendary SCORPIONS and WHITESNAKE have invited the Swedes as special guests for their North American Rock Believer stadium tour 2022! All upcoming THUNDERMOTHER live dates, including an extensive schedule of European shows this summer, can be found below. 

Their new album, Black And Gold, was recorded at Bagpipe Studios, Stockholm, and was mixed and mastered by Søren Andersen at Medley Studios in Copenhagen. Coming out on Vinyl, CD and as Digital formats on August 19, 2022 through AFM Records, the album pre-sale is now available at THIS LOCATION or to pre-save on Digital platforms HERE!

DYNAZTY Release ‘Natural Born Killer’ Video From Upcoming Album

Fans have been patiently awaiting the band’s upcoming magnum opus, but this summer, your wait is finally over: August 26, 2022 will see Swedish melodic metal force DYNAZTY release their brand new album, entitled Final Advent, via AFM Records!

As previously-released, first album singles already proved, the Final Advent will mark the band’s most cohesive, imaginative, complex and at the same time most homogeneous album to date in Dynazty’s over 10-year career. Today, the Swedes have shared a brand new video clip for the epic track “Natural Born Killer”, directed by Patric Ulleaus of Revolver Film Company in Gothenborg, who already worked with acts such as In Flames, Evergrey, or Amaranthe to name just a few. Says vocalist Nils Molin:

“Each song on the album has very individual lyrics. Some are short stories within a short song structure, such as ‘Yours’, whereas ‘Power Of Will’ or ‘Natural Born Killer’ have a message. ‘Natural Born Killer’ warns of the dangers of blindly obsessing about and idealizing another person.”

There are plenty of reasons why musicians succeed in getting the optimum out of their creative talent. In case of Dynazty and their forthcoming, eighth studio album, Final Advent, the extra time forced upon them by the pandemic may have been one important factor, but it would be short-sighted to attribute their impressive new material solely to the time they had to write, record and produce their new offering. At the end of the day, Dynazty appears as an ambitious band who has invested all their talent and experience, combined with a healthy dose of enthusiasm, ambition and tremendous compositional and musical expertise.

Ever since their formation in 2008, Dynazty’s career may read like a fairytale, but is the result of a hard-working band. Countless shows all over Europe with acts alike Sabaton, Battle Beast or Pain to name just a few, an incredibly successful back catalogue of seven chart-breaking albums, millions of streams on digital platforms prove, Dynazty not only captures the Zeitgeist of modern melodic metal, but with the Final Advent the band will even double-down all expectations and success!

Final Advent was produced by the band themselves and primarily recorded in Love Magnusson`s studio in Stockholm, drums were recorded in Denmark at the Hansen Studios (owned by sound icon Jacob Hansen, who also mixed and mastered the album). The cover artwork was designed by Brazilian artist Gustavo Sazes, who has also worked for British Lion (feat. Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris), Kamelot, Firewind, Iced Earth and Nils Molin’s second band, Amaranthe. 

Pre-Order Final Advent HERE!

Final Advent track listing:

01 Power Of Will

  1. Advent
  2. Natural Born Killer
  3. Yours
  4. All The Devils Are Here
  5. The White
  6. Instinct
  7. Heart Of Darkness
  8. Achilles Heel
  9. Power Of Now

Austria’s ENDONOMOS Release Music Video ‘Atropos’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 24, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ENDONOMOS. Leave a comment

August 26, 2022 will see rising death doom metal act ENDONOMOS release its self-titled debut album on Argonauta Records. Now, the up-and-coming band has premiered a music video for the second single “Atropos”, which can be seen below.

Fans of acts such as Ahab and alikes should give ear, as ENDONOMOS unleashes a fierce blend of sinister and menacing doom/death, yet with epic melodies of classic doom metal. Low and weighty grunt-vocals are continually breached by melodic, clean vocals, the thunderous rhythm guitar is accompanied by numerous highly melodic lead guitars and, from time to time, fragile clean parts. 

“For our second single we chose a significantly more sinister sounding song and one of my personal favourites,” says band mastermind Lukas Haidinger. “It deals loosely with the “vanitas” motif, yet focussing rather on inevitability and human inability.

With this song you will get a further glimpse at the different aspects of the upcoming album, and we are more than excited to show you it’s entire face soon!”


Just exclusively premiered with No Clean Singing, you can now watch the new ENDONOMOS video for “Atropos” here:

ENDONOMOS is the brainchild of Austrian multi-instrumentalist, producer and session musician Lukas Haidinger, who is mostly known for playing extreme metal in bands such as Profanity, Nervecell, Distaste and many more, but as a longtime doomer, he finally brought his sinister yet melodic sound to tape.

Of what started as a one man’s urge to craft menacing yet epic death doom, turned into a full group of dedicated musicians in 2021. Along with some of his closest friends to accompany Haidinger on this new adventure, namely Armin Schweiger (drums), Philipp Forster (guitars) and Christoph Steinlechner (guitars), ENDONOMOS will finally introduce their upcoming, self-titled debut; recorded, mixed and mastered by Haidinger in his DeepDeepPressure Studios; on August 26th through powerhouse label Argonauta Records. The pre-sale will be starting soon at THIS LOCATION!

Tracklist:

1.: wither and thrive
2.: barrier
3.: atropos
4.: weary
5.: rejoice
6.: theft
