Extraordinary instrumental trio ADDIKTIO are out with their new single  “Anthem for the Year 2020”! Listen to their new massive single here: https://orcd.co/afty2020

With this single, Addiktio give us the first taste of their upcoming second full-length, to be released this Fall via Indie Recordings!

The band has stated: “This is an anthem for a year that changed us all in dramatic ways. It’s a desperate and grand salute to a year we will never forget. ‘Anthem for the year 2020’ starts as a pop-tune, and ends like a dystopian nightmare. It’s a hard-hitting serenade, combining searing slide-melodies with chaotic and ever-changing rhythmic patterns. It conveys everything from cries of desperation, to the hope of things to come.”

Addiktio deliver progressive, blistering sound, by mixing the elements of rock, jazz, and metal, into a unique sonic experience. The talented trio members are all active as session musicians for several Norwegian acts, where the most known internationally are Shining and Ina Wroldsen, and the most known nationally are Gabrielle, Darling West, Marit Larsen, Odd Nordstoga, Ida Maria, Lido ++.

Their debut album “Verraton” saw the light of day in 2018 and was met with raving reviews from the Norwegian press. “[…] these are top-level musicians making it impossible to give anything but a high score” was the review from Musikknyheter, while the newspaper Fædrelandsvennen wrote that “Norway has a new power-trio, creating a mighty mix from rock, jazz, and metal”.

The incredible trio is now set to release their new full-length sonic masterpiece, and the first single is a grand opener of what is to come! 

SONIC WOLVES (Ft. Former Members of PENTAGRAM, UFOMAMMUT & More) Announce Special Release With Argonauta Records

As part of the new Argonauta LTD100 series, heavy rock ‘n’ rollers SONIC WOLVES have announced their collaboration with the Italian powerhouse label!

Just recently, Argonauta Records started its special Vinyl series, limited to 100 copies of each edition, and to highlight some extraordinary releases of underground bands, special projects or label acts, that may not be under your radar yet but should deserve your attention. After the previously announced releases featuring doom metal trio HEBI KATANA, and MITOCHONDRIAL SUN’s “Bodies And Gold EP”, Argonauta Records is proud to be working with SONIC WOLVES as the label’s latest addition to the LTD100 series.

SONIC WOLVES is an Italian heavy rock’n’roll band, formed by drummer Vita (formerly of Ufomammut and currently in Rogue State), bassist and singer Kayt Vigil (currently in Rogue State, formerly Pentagram, …Of The Horizon, Syzslak, The Hounds of Hasselvander & many more) and guitarist Alessandro Camu (Kurt RussHell). With their heavily groovy, dark and dirty sound – highly inspired by 70’s hard rock, proto metal, psychedelic rock and power blues  –  SONIC WOLVES take hard rock to a nastier and louder level, and one that is hard not to be moved by. Following several European tours, including festival appearances at Desertfest Antwerp, Headz Up and Tube Cult Fest to name just a few, two 7” singles and two full length albums to date, the trio is currently hard at work of an upcoming, very special 12” single EP, to be released through Argonauta Records later this year.

“Sonic Wolves is excited to start a new collaboration with Gero and Argonauta Records. As individual musicians never having worked with him before, we are pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of an internationally recognized and respected label from our scene,”  the band comments. “It brings us great pride to stand alongside such band as Los Natas and our friends Dee Calhoun, Suma and Infection Code. In our quest for the perfect collaboration for the release of a unique single, with two special songs inspired by musicians we want to pay tribute to, we came across Gero, whose offer and idea threw gasoline on the fire and set the wheels in motion.

With every new collaboration come new opportunity and experiences.

We look forward to taking our fans, thanks to Argonauta Records and Mona of All Noir, to the next chapter of Sonic Wolves with this limited edition 12” single.”

ERDVE Share Second New Single “Sugretinimas”

Experimental Sludge outfit ERDVE will be releasing their new album ‘Savigaila’ via Season of Mist on July 23! The band is now revealing the second new single, “Sugretinimas,” along with a music video, which was created entirely by the band! You can find the unnerving clip at THIS LOCATION.

ERDVE comments: “The song name ‘Sugretinimas’ translates as ‘Juxtaposition.’ This song is about a tendency to juxtapose different points of view for the sole purpose of comparison while disregarding the actual result of an issue. The purpose of this video is to present different angles of the same subject and to raise the question whether the process of an argument of comparing is meaningful at all, if the result remains the same.”

Pre-orders are now live HERE

Brazilian / Dutch death metal powerhouse CRYPTA is ready to re-open the portals of hell by presenting the third single, “Dark Night Of The Soul”, off their upcoming debut album, along with an official full band playthrough video. 
The new single delivers a bold message of pure hardness, perilous atmosphere and underlines the heightened level of potency and experience from their successful past and current projects, enhancing influences from both classic and modern death metal genres.

CRYPTA’s debut album will be out this Friday – descending upon the earth like an apocalyptic meteor! Echoes of the Soul was recorded in January 2021 at the Family Mob Studio (Brazil), mixed by Arthur Rizk (Code Orange, Powertrip  etc.) and mastered by the famed Jens Bogren (Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Sepultura etc.). The cover artwork was created by Wes Benscoter, who is internationally famous for his stunning covers for bands such as Slayer, Kreator, Black Sabbath and many more.

Watch/Listen to “Dark Night Of The Soul” HERE:

Order the thrilling debut album Echoes Of The Soul NOW!

Atmospherically dark and threatening, the 55-second intro “Awakening” prepares the listener for the oncoming ferocity of Echoes Of The Soul, dispensing murky, fiery fuel into the death metal machine. Their significant sonic texture derived from various death metal subgenres and traces of classic thrash becomes instantly evident as the album begins, reflective of the entirely vicious, infernal aura the 10-track debut is about to unleash. CRYPTA unbridle high-powered sonic demons and nourish cumulative, explosive energy with raging guitar riffs, Fernanda Lira’s unmistakable vocal color and Damettos’s menacing drums. Tracks like “Starvation”, “Kali” and “Blood Stained Heritage” incite an uncontrollable storm of pure rage and belligerence, while offerings like “Under The Black Wings” and “Dark Night Of The Soul” deliver a message of pure hardness in perilous atmosphere. “Death Arcana” provides its listener further insight into CRYPTA’s sonic mastery and captivates with sprawling solos reminiscent of earlier times, yet spiced with a modern twist.

Echoes Of The Soul tracklisting:
1. Awakening
2. Starvation
3. Possessed
4. Death Arcana
5. Shadow Within
6. Under the Black Wings
7. Kali
8. Blood Stained Heritage
9. Dark Night of the Soul
10. From the Ashes

After more than two decades of silence, Finnish cult black/epic metallers and pioneers of the scene DARKWOODS MY BETROTHED carve their long-awaited comeback in stone by signing a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records!

In 2020, the old horde from the original line-up rejoined forces, now augmented by former session keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen as a full member of the band, bringing a significant contribution to the creative process, and Kai Hahto (both Nightwish) as session drummer.

Founded in 1993 in Kitee, Finland, DARKWOODS MY BETROTHED quickly gained a cult status in the black metal underground. In 1995, they released their debut album, Heirs of the Northstar, followed by sophomore album, Autumn Roars Thunder (1996), and Witch-Hunts (1998). Shortly after, the pagan flame of DARKWOODS MY BETROTHED became but a fleeting glimpse in the nocturnal darkness of Eastern Finland. But it never faded away completely.

Be prepared for an onslaught of melodic black metal and epic majesty!

DARKWOODS MY BETROTHED are:
Pasi Kankkunen – vocals, guitar
Jouni Mikkonen – guitar
Teemu Kautonen – bass, backing vocals
Tuomas Holopainen – keyboards
Kai Hahto – drums (session)
