DELTA BATS Sign With Drakkar Entertainment + Present First Single And Music Video ‘Delta Bat’ From Upcoming Album

German heavy metal punk rock duo, DELTA BATS, has inked a worldwide deal with Drakkar Entertainment, who is proud to release the band’s upcoming debut album, entitled Here Come The Bats, on July 29, 2022!

Toby Fuhrmann and Don Canone have been in this business long enough to know that they will not reinvent rock’n’roll. They were born too late for that. But at least they were born in time to save it. After years as a well-oiled rhythm section in various bands, the two brothers in spirit have made their debut as a duo, the DELTA BATS, and have reduced themselves to what they do best: No-holds-barred low blows of drum and bass, mangy vocals and raw riffs that don’t even try to sound virtuosic.

“We are delighted to add another great act to our artist roster with DELTA BATS.” Says Maximilian Föse, Head Of Drakkar Entertainment. “After listening to the first demos, it was immediately clear to us that these guys have everything it takes to shake up the music landscape with their snotty sound.”

“Drakkar Entertainment rocks and the Delta Bats also rock – so that’s a match right there!” The band adds. “We’re over the moon to have such an awesome and powerful team by our side. Let’s go! Here come the Bats!

DELTA BATS are having fun, but are bitterly serious. While Don has drifted straight from an East German contrabass forge into metal, Toby has beaten his way up from a boys’ choir via American marching bands to a drummer whose punch would make a Texan blacksmith pale in comparison. The two unmistakably pay homage to their gods – Motörhead, ZZ Top, Ramones, Judas Priest – but without losing sight of the danceability of a Samantha Fox. Wherever the Bats appear, it’s a party. People sweat and drink Coors light from cans. Shells fall from bodies that would have been better left covered. But that doesn’t mean shit. Two friends for one hallelujah. Here Come The Bats!

Get yourself in the mood for the DELTA BATS and join the party, as the charismatic duo has just released a hilarious, excellent music video for their first album single “Delta Bat”!

Get the song on all digital platforms HERE!

Here Come The Bats was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jan Oberg (Earth Ship, Grin) at the Hidden Planet Studio in Berlin, Germany. Slated for a release on July 29, 2022 through Drakkar Entertainment, the album pre-sale has just started at THIS LOCATION!

On June 3rd, Swedish thrash metallers DEFIATORY will release their highly anticipated new full-length record “Apokalyps” on Black Lion Records. In support of the upcoming album, the band has released a lyric video for the track “Into the Unknown” today. Watch the video here:

“Apokalyps“, the third installment by the band from Umeå, evolves from their previous two releases, adding a more sinister atmosphere, harsh melodies and ruthless tempo, as they explore the coming of the ultimate end of the world. So brace yourselves as the Swedish quartet takes you on a journey through an ever changing landscape of war, destruction and invasion from beyond the veil.

The album was produced and recorded by DEFIATORY, mixed by Patrik Wall and mastered by Erik Lindberg at Ekens Ljudkross. “Apokalyps” will be released via Black Lion Records on CD//Digital, with vinyl and tape to follow sometime in late fall and early winter. Pre-orders are available HERE

WEREWOLVES Announce New Album “From the Cave to the Grave”; Unveil Single + Lyric Video ‘We Are Better Than You’

Australian death metal trio WEREWOLVES have announced their return with a third full-length album, From the Cave to the Grave, due for release via Prosthetic Records on June 24. Alongside the album announcement the band have shared a new track and accompanying lyric video for the apoplectic lead single, We Are Better Than You.

Stream We Are Better Than You via Apple Music | TIDAL | Deezer | Bandcamp | Spotify
Pre-order From the Cave to the Grave here.

Bassist/vocalist Sam Bean (The Antichrist Imperium, The Berzerker) comments: “This shit again. Seriously. I should be pouring concrete into a lower chamber underneath my shed and stockpiling waterproof boxes of grains, but here I am promoting one of our fucking brutal albums. The day one of us has a heart attack or gets hit by a truck, everything will go back to normal, I guarantee. But in the meantime, buy our shit. We are better than you.“

Drummer Dave Haley (Psycroptic, Abramelin, Ruins, King, Blood Duster) and guitarist Matt Wilcock (The Antichrist Imperium, The Berzerker, Abramelin) add: “This album sounds like the last album, but better.”

WEREWOLVES’ debut The Dead Are Screaming was recorded in 2019 and followed by Australia going from medium to well-done in apocalyptic bushfires. The second release What A Time to Be Alive was recorded in 2020 and closely preceded a global pandemic then mass hysteria. WEREWOLVES attempted some caution and tact by only releasing a limited vinyl EP, DeathMetal, in February 2022 and happened to put it out for sale the same day war came to Europe.

From The Cave to The Grave keeps up the searing pace of the first two WEREWOLVES albums, with a mix of black and death metal and unprecedented aggression that is coalescing into a style of its own. Opener Self-Help Book Burning kicks the door in Hate Eternal-style before deforming into a blackened ending. It’s followed by stadium crowd-pleaser We Are Better Than You, blaster All the Better to Eat You With, and social credit score-destroyer Crushing Heaven’s Mandate. Harvest of the Skulls is an ode to the horror of genocide and the rest of the album blasts through to closing threat Watch Your Mouth, leaving you to enjoy your ringing ears and mild trauma. 

The mixing is by Joe Haley (Psycroptic) and the artwork is by Mitchell Nolte. Slayer never changed their shit up, neither will WEREWOLVES. “Change” can be mistaken for “progression”, which WEREWOLVES shrinks in horror from.

From the Cave to the Grave tracklist:

  1. Self-Help Book-Burning
  2. We Are Better Than You
  3. All the Better To Eat You With
  4. Crushing Heaven’s Mandate
  5. Harvest of the Skulls
  6. Oedipus Tyrannus
  7. Nuclear Family Holocaust
  8. Pride and Extreme Prejudice
  9. Watch Your Mouth

Wanikiya Record announces with enormous joy the entry in the roster family of LIE LAND with their new EP “LOVELAND”!!! Available on the best digital music stores worldwide, as well as on the label’s showcase in Japan, Crash Sound Distribution and label’s official store.

LOVELAND is Lie Land’s first EP, born in 2021 hand in hand with the birth of the band itself. An EP that has a very clear goal, to tell the love in all its nuances, along its most hostile and dark paths, facing the complications of the journey and the emotions that they involve, a journey in search of a clear truth. The disc contains 5 tracks, of which the first three, already released as singles with official video, form the debut triptych of the band ”Shades of love”. Completing the project are the two previously unreleased tracks ”He’s Coming” and ”Strangers”.

The band has different backgrounds, and this favors the release of an innovative and refined sound, ranging from classic rock to more modern influences. Experimenting with new musical margins, using synths and putting in the right passion, the band has managed to create this musical work, thanks also to the help and artistic production of maestro Gabriele Bellini, who has taken the project under his wing, together with his own label Qua Rock Records. A project that immerses you in the various emotions of love, from tragedy to euphoria, this is how the band wants to capture its listeners. Are you ready for the first big trip to Loveland? Happy listening!
