Finnish heavy metal act OCEANHOARSE have unleashed their brand new single “Heads Will Roll” onto the world. The single comes along with a music video, that you can watch below.

Ben Varon comments:

“We’ve been working on ‘Heads Will Roll’ for a few years, as it took a while for us to find the right groove for it. But we’ve believed in the song’s potential from the beginning, so we kept at it. Finally, with the help of producer Kari Huikuri, we managed to capture the song as we feel it should be, while playing it live in the studio. No click tracks, just four musicians locking in and going for it. I think that energy shows through the end result!” 

He continues:

“Lyrically, the song is another take on one of my ‘favorite’ subjects, which is corruption, tyranny and overall inhuman behaviour. Unfortunately, this song feels more relevant than ever right now…“

Having released their debut studio album “Dead Reckoning” in 2021 via Noble Demon, followed by multiple single releases, Oceanhoarse like to stay busy and might be one of the most remarkable and hard working newcomers out there right now. The band’s explosive mix of crushing riffs as well as intense and groovy arrangements not only brought the band on tour with Swedish progressive metal masters SOEN recently, but also praise from fans and press alike. So make sure to check out the band’s new music video or listen to “Heads Will Roll” through your favorite streaming platform HERE

Iranian ONE MISSING LINK Release Video for ‘Shadows Inside’

Iranian Metalcore band ONE MISSING LINK returns with a fresh new Music Video for ‘Shadows Inside’. Since their last creative effort The Monstrosity featuring Vocalist Nikan Nasim and guitarist Mahan Abdollahi, One Missing Link has become a quartet with the addition of drummer Kiumars Saffari and bassist, Nima Mohammadi.

Shadows Inside Out Now Via Tough Sounds:  https://fanlink.to/shadowsinside

One Missing Link‘s latest creative effort Shadows Inside deals with the concept of duality within the human consciousness and how the conscious and usually the righteous ‘Self’ converses with the invariably corrupt ‘Specter’ who creeps up on the ‘Self’ with intrusive and usually destructive thoughts. 

Some words about Shadows Inside by vocalist Nikan:
“This song is about a conversation with a half-life specter of our own self within the heart; it’s the part of us that desires evil things; should you ever succumb to it, it leaves you with the consequences. But the truth is, you control both “Yourself” and the “Specter,”; this begs the question, how can we overwhelm all these temptations in our daily lives? This song calls for a victory rush against all the black dots inside our personalities that could blacken our hearts.”

Shadows Inside was mixed and mastered by Finnish producer “Joonas Vuojolahti” at Cold Truth Music Studio and was released through Tough Sounds. The music video of Shadows Inside, which premiered on Spaceuntravel, was filmed and edited by “Amirhosein Esmaeili,”

More About The Band:

Devastating Metalcore Grooves with Post Hardcore sensibilities, One Missing Link proves themselves to be the Iranian representatives of the New Wave of Core.
Colored by the integrity of outfits like Wage War, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Motionless in White, One Missing Link combines the extremity of Rusty Metalcore Noises with the fragility of unstable apperception.
The band’s initial inception started with vocalist Nikan Nasim and guitarist Ali Mostanbet’s cover of the Architects song Royal Beggars in 2020. They released their first original single, “Shivers,” a year later, after the departure of “Ali Mostanbet.”
After signing with the first Iranian Metal Label Tough Sounds, One Missing Link made a comeback with the release of “The Monstrosity,” and “Shadows Inside” from their upcoming EP ‘The Other Side’.

10,000 YEARS Surprise-Release Third Single ‘Megafauna’ from Upcoming Album

In a deadly storm of stonermetal mayhem 10,000 YEARS third and final single from their new album “III”, “Megafauna”, sees the Albatross-crew face the perils of a valley where time’s stood still for two million years. Or has time moved backwards?

This blistering new track will be sure to tide all disciples of the riff over well until “III” is unleashed upon the world on June 24th.

“Megafauna” will be released digitally on Bandcamp and the usual streaming services, featuring new, exclusive artwork by longtime collaborators Negative Crypt Artwork.

2021 saw 10,000 Years lay waste to the underground world of heavy music with their debut full length album “II”. Now, barely a year later, they return with the conclusion to their epic trilogy.

Continuing with numbered titles, the new album is called “III” and concludes 10,000 Years conceptual exploration of mindbending sci-fi by way of absolutely facemelting stonermetal that will bring you to your knees in heavy worship.

Says bassist/vocalist Alex Risberg: ““III” feels like a continuation from what we’ve done before, a natural evolution of the sound of the band. We’ve expanded on the things we felt worked best the last time around, like the thrashy High On Fire-stuff and the more epic songstructures, all the while maintaining what this band is all about.”

Recording once again took place in the legendary Studio Sunlight with the equally legendary Tomas Skogsberg manning the controls.

The album will be released on vinyl by underground heavyweights Interstellar Smoke Records with a CD and digital coming from Death Valley Records as well as a limited edition cassette tape from Olde Magick Records.

Earlier this month, Saudi melodic death metallers IMMORTAL PAIN shared their first taste of new music with the single “Unhealed” to follow their 2021 EP “Origin Demoes” that featured recordings from 2007.

Today, the band is supporting the single by unleashing their new music video for it, which can be viewed below.

“A straightforward track with lots of deep feelings, motivation, and amazing melodies.” adds the band.

Digital – https://linktr.ee/immortalpainofficial

Formed in Saudi Arabia, Immortal Pain have been together since 2005, ripping up local stages with their take on melodic death metal. It has been a long time since they released music, but they are breaking their silence with a stand-alone single “Unhealed” via label Wall of Sound Dark Mode. The band firmly believes listeners will love this single as it will deliver an all-new original track that resembles the classic Immortal Pain vibes and energy with a modernized sound.

Over the years, the sound of Immortal Pain has definitely developed, as they have matured musically. They have been playing together for over a decade, and the chemistry is apparent. They continue to experiment with different sounds and techniques, but they don’t stray too far from the classic sound and style that they have become known for.

Immortal Pain’s live shows are packed with energetic, exciting fun as they consider each gig to be a celebration with their fans in a mutual love for music. They always give a 110% on the music and fan experience, as it is what they deserve. Along with playing live gigs this year, Immortal Pain will also be working on a number of singles, so fans can expect a lot more noise from the group.

Immortal Pain is powerful and melodic, adding an edge to typical melodic death metal. They incorporate personal themes to drive home the passion and emotion even more. They are recommended for fans of Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Arch Enemy.

Keeping the metal scene alive, Immortal Pain is a Saudi Arabian Melodic Death Metal band from Jeddah. The band was formed back in 2005 by Emad Ashor (Vocalist/Rhythm Guitarist), Rasheed (Lead Guitarist) and was later joined by Moaiyd Alshammari (Drummer) and Anan Alsabban (Bassist).
​
Their music is a mix between Thrash Metal and Melodic Death Metal and was heavily influenced by bands such as Iron Maiden, Arch Enemy, Kalmah, Metallica, and many other iconic groups.
​
The band was heavily active during the prime years of metal music in the Kingdom and continues to perform to their fans to this day. Immortal Pain released a number of demos over the years and continues to create new music and is releasing their first official single “Unhealed” in May 2022 with additional releases planned for the following months.
