Croatian Metallers ARWAT have released their first LP entitled “Criminally Insane With Knowledge Of State Secrets”.

In the end of 2019 AD, ARWAT released their first EP entitled “Aryan Heretic” revealing the band from Osijek, Croatia to the wilderness of Metal society. During 2020 AD, the band started to work on their new material, and truth be told, May 2021 AD turned out to be just the right time for their second release, LP entitled “Criminally Insane With Knowledge Of State Secretsˮ, which consists of 12 new, purely Arwat songs, and also one cover.

As a special guest on the track “Treasonable Doubt” , Arwat is proud to present Renata Petrelli from The Damnnation, an all-female Thrash Metal power trio from São Paulo, Brazil.

Prior to the LP release, Arwat published the music video for the song “Ubojstvo Na Ulici” (English translation: Murder In the Street) which was the first single taken from “Criminally Insane With Knowledge Of State Secrets”.

Polish CATHARSIS Release New Single “Village Of Witches”

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

“Village of Witches” is taken from the second album of Polish death metallers CATHARSIS. The new LP “Human Failures” proves the band’s technical inspirations, but also presents the exploration of the new territory, leading CATHARSIS towards more brutal and heavier death metal sound with a touch of black metal. „Human Failures” is a visible step forward in the band’s musical journey and undoubtedly the darkest chapter of it. The album is being produced, engineered, mixed & mastered by Filip „Heinrich” Hałucha in Heinrich House Studio. All drums parts have been composed by Eugene Ryabchenko (Fleshgod Apocalypse, ex live – Belphegor, ex live – Vital Remains) and recorded by Dariusz „Daray” Brzozowski (live – Dimmu Borgir, ex – Vader) as a session drummer, who gives a truly outstanding drum performance and takes the compositions to another level. One of the seven new tracks, entitled „Made Of Blood” includes a mind blowing guest vocal appearance by the death metal icon Ross Dolan (Immolation). The new album will be issued by Mad Lion Records June 25th 2021.

Adam comments: “I don’t remember where I read the article about African witch villages. Places where elderly people were sent, accused of magic and witchcraft by local communities. It was the only way they could survive. Otherwise, they would face death from the hateful crowd.  We composed the introduction in the studio, having previously had a certain vision of what it should look like. It turned out very ominous. I always have shivers down my spine listening to this beginning. I associate it with the atmosphere of the Exorcist.”

THE DAY OF THE BEAST Release New Single ‘Indisputably Carnivorous’

THE DAY OF THE BEAST have shared Indisputably Carnivorous – the title track and third single to be taken from their upcoming fourth album of the same name, due for release on June 18 via Prosthetic Records. The US based blackened death metal band have also shared an accompanying lyric video for the track, with the visual further building upon their Lovecraftian horror influenced sound.

Listen to the single, Indisputably Carnivorous, via Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

Pre-order Indisputably Carnivorous here.

Speaking on the single release, the band comments: “Indisputably Carnivorous is lyrically themed around the Graham Masterson novel The Wells of Hell. This is one we’ve been jamming on at practice for a while now instrumentally, so it was awesome when we finally heard it with vocals. We think it’s a banger and we hope everyone enjoys it!”

Dripping with pure aggression and channelling evil through all inputs, Indisputably Carnivorous is the soundtrack to every raging nightmare brought to life. Shining a light on the darkest, filthiest corners of the human psyche by way of apocalyptic, horror-inspired storytelling – THE DAY OF THE BEAST have created a monster. Each track revolves around its own specific tale or theme, with inspiration coming from the likes of Clive Barker, Bram Stoker, and Lovecraft. The album name is taken from the Graham Masterson novel The Wells of Hell, and the title track is primarily based on that book. 

Recorded August – October 2020, in Hampton Roads, Virginia with the band overseeing all elements of recording the meat of the album themselves, they then enlisted Tony Petrocelly of Trepan Studios to track vocals. The album was mixed and mastered by Zach Ohren at Castle Ultimate Studios. Taking control of production themselves allowed the band – which features Steve Redmond from fellow Prosthetic signees, Foretoken – to set their own pace – they took the time to look back over past output, cherry-picking the elements they rated the most and bringing them together in one cohesive rager of an album. The result is a whiplash inducing thrash-via-death metal record; celebrating the legacy of the genre whilst adding their own indisputably blood-thirsty, indisputably abominable, indisputably carnivorous spin on it.

Indisputably Carnivorous is due for release via Prosthetic Records on June 18, 2021.

HALCYON DAYS Release New Single + Video “Shadows”

Norwegian melodic hardcore quintet HALCYON DAYS drop a new single and music video titled “Shadows” today! Turn up the volume & listen to the single here https://orcd.co/halcyondaysshadows or watch the music video HERE!

There’s something within the music of Halcyon Days that sets free a lot of emotions, while the lyrics of “Shadows” deal with the situation of fighting your inner self. May it be their great deal in melodic guitar parts, their crushing metalcore breaks or the emotional vocals – it all perfectly sums up in a modern sound full of explosive energy that makes us miss the melodic hardcore movement of the 2010s, while showing that they are able to catch this spirit. “Shadows” is nothing less than another great single that evokes high hopes for Halcyon Days’ upcoming record!

As the frontman of Halcyon Days, Robbe Madsen, states:

“With Shadows, we’ve created one of our best tracks, with everything from head crushing breakdowns and intense emotional vocals to catchy melodic hooks and acoustic guitars in this versatile track about the struggle of fighting your inner voice, anger, impulses and your own thoughts of how other people perceive you.”

“Shadows” is the second single off the upcoming album, which will be released this Fall via Indie Recordings!

Based out of Oslo, Norway, Halcyon Days are a hard-hitting melodic metal band. Since their beginning in 2012, they have released two EP’s, and two albums.
Their debut album ‘.ELEVATE’ was frequently playlisted and recommended on Norway’s national radio, NRK P3. Two years after their debut album, they released their self-titled EP in 2016, scoring more than 350k total streams on digital platforms.

The EP was met with an amazing response worldwide, putting the band on the map outside of Norway. The band signed with Indie Recordings and released their second full-length album, with the title “Rain Soaked Pavements & Fresh Cut Grass” June 15 2018. Metal Trenches (US) stated that the album is “one of the better metalcore releases of the year”, while PureGrainAudio (CAN) defined it as “a superb example of melodic metal/hardcore.”

The release hit 1 Million streams on Spotify and landed the band their first big shows outside of Norway at festivals like Summer Breeze Open Air, Reeperbahn Festival and High Five Summerfest. The band have been working with legendary names in Metal as Daniel Bergstrand, Fredrik Thordendal and Henrik Udd for their upcoming third full-length album due autumn 2021 via Indie Recordings.
