UNDERTOW to Release New Album “Bipolar” on July 8th, Reveal Artwork & Tracklist

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

UNDERTOW have revealed the cover artwork and track listing of their new album “BIPOLAR” which will be released on July 8th, 2022 via El Puerto Records. Artwork is again by Björn Gooßes | Killustrations.

“BIPOLAR”: Nine new songs on their ninth album in their twenty-ninth year.
Ascribing Undertow a penchant for number games or arithmetic is at least arguable. On the other hand, it is undisputed that the band works very specifically with moods on “BIPOLAR” – from extremely heavy to total melancholy. These contrasting mood swings have always been trademarks of this special band.

Tracklist:
01 – When Tears Became Scars
02 – On Fire
03 – Life Kills
04 – Call Of The Sin
05 – Shadows
06 – The Longest Breath
07 – Unstoppable
08 – Undertow
09 – I Remain

MOTHER OF MILLIONS releases the title track video, from the new EP “Orbit”. It´s an epic track that without a doubt is one of the bands strongest work to date!

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.

ANTE-INFERNO Share New Single ‘Beyond the Immemorial Veil’ from Upcoming Album

Following their acclaimed debut album “Fane”, UK black metallers ANTE-INFERNO will release their sophomore album “Antediluvian Dreamscapes” on May 13 via Vendetta Records. Featuring seven brand new tracks, with “Antediluvian Dreamscapes” Ante-Inferno have created a dark and mournful, harsh and desolate universe, taking the listener on an emotional journey through the spheres of atmospheric black metal. After releasing the music video for “Celestial Mirage”, the band today released the second single “Beyond the Immemorial Veil”.

Ante-Inferno comments:

The only track on the album to have been entirely improvised in the moment, “Beyond the Immemorial Veil”, with its free-form composition and delirium-inducing sonic explorations, serves as a fitting realisation of its lyrical themes. Bodiless, half-lost in a nightmarish realm that flitters between the distant future and the dark past, we find ourselves vomited forth into an ancient and unrecognisable world. From that vantage point, we witness the birth of a modern age that can offer us nothing but enslavement and horror. Forever lost beyond the veil of time and immortality, all we can do is watch, and await the coming of the eschaton and the end of all life on earth.

“Antediluvian Dreamscapes” will be coming out May 13th on Vendetta Records and is available for pre-order HERE

Tracklist:

  1. A Lullaby to a Dying World
  2. Transcendence
  3. Celestial Mirage
  4. Shadowed Waters
  5. Two Score and Ten Souls
  6. Beyond the Immemorial Veil
  7. Nightmares of the Eschaton

Earlier this year, on January 14th, Czech psy-core metal unit DYMYTRY released their much acclaimed, sixth studio album, entitled Revolt, via AFM Records. Following five successful records to date and a platinum award for their latest release Revolter, Dymytry have surprised their fanbase with some special premieres: Revolt, originally recorded exclusively in Czech, is the first international Dymytry album in English language ever, and the debut of new, additional singer Alen “A.L.” Ljubic!

Revolt practically bursts with a high-voltage energy, strong melodies and powerful rhythms driven by mercilessly modern metal. Featuring its three main songwriters Mikhaylov, Jiri “Dymo” Urban and Jan “Gorgy” Görgel (both guitar) as well as with exciting guest appearances by Joakim Lindbäck Eriksson of Brothers Of Metal and Victor Smolski, the band will continue to work with longtime vocalist Protheus in the Czech Republic and with Alen on the international market.

In support of their Revolt, now Dymytry have shared a brand new video clip for the powerful track “Rise And Shine”!  Watch the new clip right here:

Says Alen: “Couple weeks after our album „Revolt” was released, I received a lot of messages from fans. Many of them told me that „Rise and Shine“ is their favorite song and that it resonates with them. It makes me happy to know that. Rise and Shine is also one of my favorites on the album. An emotional power ballad, motivating and haunting, a reminder to be who you are and stick to your path to greater things in life, without being distracted by what anyone thinks about you.“

Revolt 
was produced by Kristian “Kohle” Kohlmannslehner & Hans Koch at the Kohlekeller / Babylon Studios, and is available as CD Digipak and an exclusive Boxset via AFM Records. Purchase your album copy at THIS LOCATION!
