MOTHER OF MILLIONS have released a brand new  lyric video for “Where Do We Go From Here”. It´s the bands most intimate song, and also the intro song on the new comeback EP “Orbit”, that will be released on this Friday via ViciSolum Productions.

Orbit is the band’s first release after the loss of keybordist Makis Tsamkosoglou, during a show in June 2019. It is a soul-searching, introspective and affecting record, that attempts to share all emotions that followed this tragic event. Recording it, was described by the band as a necessary healing experience for its restart process.

Orbit is set for release on May 6th on 12″ vinyl and digital.

Mother of Millions is a prog-metal quartet based in Athens, Greece.

The band has released 3 albums, “Human” (Bungalo 2014), “Sigma” (ViciSolum Productions 2017), Artifacts (ViciSolum Productions 2019), getting the most positive reviews from the audience and the global music press. A new EP is soon to be released, while Mother of Millions are working on a new album.

The band performed sold-out headline shows in Athens, shows with Textures on their last European tour, support shows with Ruud Jolie’s For All We Know in the Netherlands, while the band has shared the stage with artists such as Pain of Salvation, Devin Townsend, Leprous, Oceans of Slumber, Septic Flesh etc.

In June 2019 during a show promoting Artifacts, Mother of Millions’ keyboardist and beloved friend Makis Tsamkosoglou passed away. Following this tragic incident, the band decided to keep going as a quartet.

Mother of Millions sounds equally massive as cinematic. Intense soundscapes involving elaborate rhythms, folk aesthetics and progressive rock tunes.

WAYFARER Release Video for ‘Black Metal Of The American West’

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

One of Denver’s most promising musical outfits, WAYFARER, introduces ‘Black Metal Of The American West’ video. Watch HERE

A deconstruction of both the fury and the beauty of the untamed west through blistering song, Wayfarer present a visceral and uniquely American take on dark music. Brooding and unapologetically genuine, the band reflects the history and the myth of a land soaked in blood.
 
Drawing as deep from the annals of extreme metal as from the gothic Americana of Colorado, Wayfarer tells their tale with dust-laden riffing, fierce rhythms, harsh bellows, and broken song. Shades of biting black metal carry seamlessly along the paths blazed by Denver Sound folk and ageless cinematic grit – pulling the listener through arcs of high adventure and bleak revelation.

In celebration of the signing with Century Media, the European PRE-ORDER of their highly acclaimed albums  ‘A Romance With Violence’ and ‘World’s Blood’ has started. The release is set for July 15th this year.

MISERY INDEX Launch Single & Video for Title Track of Upcoming Album “Complete Control”

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

Two decades into their venerable careers, Baltimore Death Metal savants MISERY INDEX are back with their new record, “Complete Control”, to be released worldwide via Century Media Records on May 13th, 2022.

Check out the new single “Complete Control” in a video-clip directed, filmed and edited by J.T. Ibanez HERE

“Complete Control”, the 7th studio album and Century Media debut for MISERY INDEX, was mixed by Will Putney, mastered by Jens Bogren / Fascination Street studios and features artwork by Matt Lombard. “Complete Control” is a riff-driven assault that captures the tension of the modern condition and channels it into 9 songs of ripping end-times Death Metal. Spewing with Orwellian invective and razor-sharp songwriting, “Complete Control” is a much-needed hammer to the face; a wake-up call for the disaffected and dispossessed.

Something very different is about to happen – Split Screen Production has launched a brand new show concept ‘Split Screen Event‘, announcing the pilot event, set to be held on July 8th, 2022 at Legend Club in Milan, Italy.

In the fight against the Covid’s bad effect on music business Split Screen Production decided to create something completely new for bands!

Festivals have been cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. Not everybody is ready to go out into to the crowds. So we at Split Screen Production decided to create something new that fits those who want to rock in a crowd and those who want to rock at home. NO! it’s not one of those streaming events, that would be old and boring news!

More exciting details about this Split Screen Event will be revealed soon.

The first Split Screen Event will take place at the legendary Legend Club in Milan on July 8th. The first band confirmed is Italian legendary Speed/thrash metallers CELTIC HILLS. More bands to come.

More information on the venue at https://www.facebook.com/LegendClubMilano – http://www.legendclubmilano.com

Stay tuned!

“King Diamond’s The Eye was not recorded with a drum machine”, Confirms Former Drummer Snowy Shaw

The Metal Voice recently spoke to former Mercyful Fate and King Diamond drummer Snowy Shaw. Watch the interview below.

Excerpts from the interview

When asked if the band  Ghost who is also from Sweden took his stage ideas and made them popular 
“You are certainly were not the first to ask about that. Gus G the guitar player told me, WTF this band (Ghost) is getting so popular they are doing what you did with Notre Dame way back. I suppose but it all stems from, Author Brown starting off with corpse paint, then it was Alice Cooper, onto Kiss onto this theatrical thing. We all take bits and pieces and copy and inspire and do our own thing and do our own version of it. King Diamond is also a result of Welcome to my nightmare (Alice Cooper), that kind of theatrical show. I want to say that Ghost hasn’t ripped me off but they have certainly managed to make it big.”

When asked if he was a little disappointed in not being asked to participate in the upcoming Mercyful Fate reunion
“I’m not upset. My wife she called me from work and said I saw Mercyful Fate is getting back together weren’t you involved in that band? Yes I was but what  lineup is it?  So I called Mike Weed (guitarist) cause apparently he is going to be in the reunion. So it means that Michael Denner is not going to be there. Who is playing the drums then? Is it Bjame (Holm) who replaced me he (Weed) said we are going to continue from the last album 9 and we are going to pick it up from there. And I said how about Sharlee D’Angelo (bassist on 9) . No we haven’t contacted him, it’s going to be Joey Vera (Armored Saint). I don’t want to get involved in that I wasn’t upset. I haven’t been in that band for many years. I rather move forward and take on new challenges rather than go backwards. “

When asked if it bothered him that they used a drum machine on the King Diamond’s album The Eye 
“It’s not a drum machine. The thing is I kind of regret spilling the beans or maybe a slip of the tongue. I was doing this interview with Borivoj Krgin for Metal Maniacs magazine (at the time) when we were doing the Memento Mori album in 1993. And he said wow I love the drumming (The Eye), it’s so technical and progressive and I said yeah it was a drum machine. My English was so- so, even worse back then (Snowy eludes to that he misspoke using the wrong choice of words due to lack of English skills at the time). But it wasn’t a drum machine obviously. I was playing on pads  and parts were sort of programmed because that was what King insisted on doing. We didn’t have any time to rehearse or do anything like that was kind of their justification for that and I couldn’t understand it. It wasn’t a drum machine.
