Italy’s doom metal heavyweights BOTTOMLESS are about to get set for the release of their highly anticipated debut album, out on July 16th via Spikerot Records! Featuring members of well known acts like Messa, Assumption and more, BOTTOMLESS are by far no strangers to the scene. Consisting of 10 tracks, the band’s self-titled release is exactly what you would expect to get from the experienced three piece – nothing but unadulterated doom metal straight in the vein of the ancient masters Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Trouble and The Obsessed!

After the previously- released track “Centuries Asleep”, the band just shared the second single taken off the upcoming album. Listen to “Ash” here:

“Once upon a time Tony Iommi and his three apostles cometh down to earth to grant us the power of darkness and the riff, so at this point we’re nothing but shadows dwelling under his iron sky. This earth will some day become a pile of ash and burning matter and this song is the soundtrack to the final chapter. Living backwards is the only way to save ourselves.” BOTTOMLESS states.

Tracklist:

  1. Monastery
  2. Centuries Asleep
  3. Bottomless
  4. The Talking Mask
  5. Ash
  6. Losing Shape
  7. Loveless Reign
  8. Vestige
  9. Cradling Obsession
  10. Hell Vacation (Bonus CD/Digital)

BOTTOMLESS’ new record will be coming out July 16th via Spikerot Records in the following formats and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

The new video by US group BLOOD OF ANGELS is upon us in the form of Monotheism, the 2nd track from the excellent album The Failure Of Faith, released last year via Sliptrick Records. Here’s what the band had to say; “This is a video for our single Monotheism. More than just a music video. It is also a tribute to our Blood Of Angels family, and our Tampa, Florida metal scene that we love and hold dear. We hope you enjoy our video, and a look into our home.”

Don’t forget, you can see Blood Of Angels on their 16 date US Tour in August. Check out all the dates …here

Failure Of Faith is a concept album that explores the evolution of the three main global religions of the world. The first half of the album looks at the development of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. How those three religions began to carve up and dominate the world. The second half of the album shows how those three faiths have led humanity down a path of division and self-destruction. Read more …here

THE STONE EYE Release New Single + Video “Witches & Raptures”, New Album Drops October 15th

What if Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain secretly wrote songs for Queens of the Stone Age and Alice In Chains? We don’t have the answer to this mysterious question, but maybe (just maybe) THE STONE EYE can answer it for us…

Philadelphia sludge rockers The Stone Eye have revealed a new music video and single for the song “Witches & Raptures“. The video was directed by Stephen Burdick. Watch it right now at this location. “Witches & Raptures” is the first single from the band’s sixth full-length album South Of The Sun which is scheduled for a worldwide release on October 15, 2021 via Eclipse Records.

“In a nutshell, Witches & Raptures can best be described as a song about feeling trapped in the greater picture of everything around you” says lead vocalist & guitarist Stephen Burdick. “Does that meaning come through in the video? Maybe… who knows! We picked the song as a single because we felt as though it was one of the most interesting pieces of music we have written thus far, whilst also retaining an element of pop-sensibility amidst the abnormal structure and harmonies. It is weird, but it’s catchy. When it came to working on the video, we sought out weirdness. Film some footage of us rehearsing, some footage of us being hooligans in front of the green screen and go to town in post-production!”

The new record, titled South of the Sun, is one of those gems that is familiar somehow, yet takes the listener on a journey mapped out in new pathways. Heavy with a layer of glorious weirdness, this album combines a raucous, dirty guitar sound with clever musicianship … vocals that are as hypnotic in harmony as they are diverse in range, and a rhythm section as daring as it is ornate and, at times, funk-a-licious. With thirteen mesmerizing songs altogether, the singles from the album certainly showcase the wide range of influences upon the band’s writing. For the first single “Witches & Raptures“, the band sings about being trapped in the big picture of the world around us and how servants eventually are consumed by their social masters after they have served their purpose. The second single “Catatonia” is more of an exercise in meditative songwriting designed to just lose the listener in the lyrics which represent such philosophical questions such as ‘who’s out there, what’s there?’.  The third single “Aleutian Summer” can be best described as a scene out of The Shining, going stir-crazy because you’re figuratively trapped in the middle of God knows where. They are soulful songs, and in their own way erotic, both perfect for rock, alternative, stoner, and even metal radio playlists as fuzzy stoner sludge wrapped up in a progressive, pop metal take on the rock genre.

Split Screen Management has a huge pleasure to announce the signing of Italian melodic death metallers LUNARSEA! Elements such as growling, screaming, clean vocals, blast beat, synths and tipically power-prog riffs are the core and the peculiarity of Lunarsea style and soul.

Guitarist Fabiano Romagnoli stated:
“Time has come!
We’re back and ready to promote live our latest and hyped album called “Earthling/Terrestre” released in January 2020.
“Earthling/Terrestre” is considered by most media/reviewer as our best album so far, but we were so unluckly to release it 2 months before covid pandemic comes out unfortunately.
After 12 months of studio and promotion activity, by releasing 4 lyric video, a collaboration with Bjorn “Speed” Strid from Soilwork and dozen of rehearsal, we get in touch again with Tarja and Roberto from the brand new SPLIT SCREEN MANAGEMENT agency for a new collaboration, and we’re very proud of them for all the works they did for us already in the past.
See you back on the road.
Stay Lunar!”

LUNARSEA:
Alessandro Iacobellis – Vocals
Fabiano Romagnoli – Guitars
Leonardo Noschese – Guitars
Erica Berton – Bass

In 2003, LUNARSEA, arose from the ashes of the power-prog band called HOLLOWEARTH. After two demos the band released their debut full-length “Hydrodynamic Wave”, in 2006 via Burning Star Records. The next three albums “Route Code Selector” (2009), “Hundred Light Years“ (2013) and “Earthling/Terrestre” (Dicembre 2019) came out on Punishment18records. All albums have been very well welcomed by audience and the media. In these past years LUNARSEA have shared the stage with great acts like DEATH, DARK TRANQUILLITY, RAGE, ORPHANED LAND, IMPALED NAZARENE, FIREWIND, PRIMAL FEAR, PRIMORDIAL, SWALLOW THE SUN, INSOMNIUM, OBSCURA, DARKANE, NARGAROTH, EKTOMORF, SINISTER, LEAVE’S EYES, ABORTED, DARK FUNERAL, ASPHYX, THE HAUNTED, SEPTIC FLESH, just to name a few. Among the band’s highlights, so far, is the participation on “Where Death Is Most Alive Tour”, where the band won the contest directly organized by Century Media to open the gigs of Bologna and Rome during the tour of Dark Tranquillity and Insomnium in October 2010. Elements such as growling, screaming, clean vocals, blast beat, synths and tipically power-prog riffs are the core and the peculiarity of Lunarsea style and soul.
