Avantgarde Metallers IF NOTHING IS Debut Track ‘Anti Horde’ From Upcoming Album

Having recently added Avantgarde Metallers IF NOTHING IS to its roster, Dark Essence Records have wasted no time in planning the release of the band’s 2015 self-titled debut album, which originally saw the light of day only through a limited selection of digital platforms, and never received the kind of exposure that the brainchild of DØDHEIMSGARD bassist Lars Emil Måløy richly deserved.

The album itself has been completely  re-mixed and re-mastered, and ranges from thrash, speed and death to black metal, and which, as a consequence, is the embodiment of what lies at the heart of extreme and technical metal music.  And today, Dark Essence Records have given us a taste of what to expect with the release of the track “Anti Horde”, about which IF NOTHING IS have this to say:

A decade after it was written the “Anti Horde” rises to new heights with an updated mix and new mastering. “Anti Horde” is about disowning the alpha stereotypes, humiliating leader figures and taking your own path. It is an action we condone, no matter what your path might be (as long as it is leftwards) . To this day this track still gives us goose bumps, so give it a spin. You might even like it!

The track “Anti Horde” can be downloaded or streamed from a variety of services at https://darkessencerecords.fanlink.to/INI_AntiHorde

“If Nothing Is” is an album that melds sharp technical skills and creative songwriting with a keen eye for detail and a streak of madness. It is intersected with progressive, experimental passages and rich jazzy parts, with each song a journey in itself.
 
With DØDHEIMSGARD’s Vicotnik weaving his magic on synths, beats and samples, and with brand new original artwork by Ulf Simon Lindgren “If Nothing Is”  will hit the streets in for the first time ever in CD and Vinyl (as a transparent clear double LP with gatefold cover) as well as digitally on the 10th September. Track listing as follows:

1. 101
2. Sovereign
3. Juvenihil
4. Anti Horde
5. Dominant Outlaw Nation
6. Postapo Calypso
7. Darkspace Navigator
8. Intermezzanine
9. Apsylum Absolute
10. If Nothing Is

“If Nothing Is” is available to pre-order now from the following:
 
Dark Essence Webshop:  https://darkessencerecords.no/
If Nothing is bandcamp:  https://ini-official.bandcamp.com/album/if-nothing-is-2

Formed in Trondheim, Norway, in 2008, IF NOTHING IS started life as the extreme metal band REVOCATION, and, along with the name change, cane a new musical direction for the lineup that today comprises Boeddelen on vocals and lyrics, Håkon Grytvik and Mats Stenberg on guitars,  Lars Emil Måløy on  bass, FX, backing vocals, lyrics, main composer and Vegard Myrdal Berg on drums, backing vocals and lyrics.

INFERNALIZER (Ft. Claudio Ravinale of Disarmonia Mundi) Release New Music Video “Leave A Scar”

INFERNALIZER, a horror-filled creature conceived and brought to life by the creative mind of Claudio Ravinale, best known as the vocalist of Italian death metal veterans Disarmonia Mundi, shares his latest music video “Leave A Scar” from the debut album “The Ugly Truth” released this past February via Rockshots Records.

Heavily influenced by 80’s metal acts such as Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Danzig, Ravinale‘s new project Infernalizer relies on the use of gloomy keys and eerie samples, paying homage to more somber gothic rock acts like Type O Negative and The Sisters Of Mercy. Vocally closer to contemporary acts like Rob Zombie and Wednesday 13, the range of influences also include evocative cinematographic soundscapes that provide Infernalizer‘s songs with a more solemn and nocturnal atmosphere.

“The Ugly Truth” is available on the following platforms:
CD: https://bit.ly/TheUglyTruth_CD
Spotify: http://spoti.fi/3uq7f82
Apple Music: https://apple.co/3sfkhmI

Mexican CRS Release New Video For “The Daydreamer’s Nightmare”

Death metal act CRS (Cirrosis) release a new video for “The Daydreamer’s Nightmare” from their upcoming EP “Live in Isolation“. The video is now streaming at Metal-Rules.com and can be viewed here.

The legendary band from the northwest of Mexico CRS (aka Cirrosis) lashes out with the release of new material entitled “LIVE IN ISOLATION”. It´s a four track EP recorded in an exclusive live session for the online festival “MOSHFEST” in September 2020, which includes a previously unrealesed song “The Daydreamer’s Nightmare” premiered at this E.P. with a guest singer “Quetzalín Dominguez” from the Mexican band “LOST NEBULA” you can watch below the video of this single as a promotional. After the international success achieved with his latest album “The Collector of Truths” and with more than 20 years without a live presentation, the live session emerges as a great gift for his followers. The EP shows that CRS is a high-level band that carefully develops all its aspects, the virtuosity of its musicians and their millimeter execution, the great sound and video quality, a clear image as a band but above all they give us a walk through different styles of metal that always lead to raging old school death metal. They celebrate 30 years of hate showing us that they have not died in any way. Its scenic presense is still as impressive as it was in the 90s. Sir OZ lets out angry screams of despair, Chucky sits on his throne as one of the greatest metal guitarrists in Mexico proving that it’s not all about complexity, but about good and powerful riffs and well-structured solos, jumping from style to style. and coloring with amazing acoustics and melodies, Tavo Ramírez shows the technical and precision level that a Latin American drummer can have, blast beats, good nuances but above all good taste. As if that were not enough, they have an extraordinary collaboration, the virtuoso and famous bassist Kello Gonzalez (PARAZIT, NATA) accompanies them providing innovative bass arrangements that show that great musicians end up recognizing themselves. The E.P. was recorded, mixed and mastered by its guitarist and multi-nominee Grammy: Francisco “Chucky” Oroz, it couldn´t be otherwise. But not everything ends there, since for all the followers that involve CIRROSIS the EP offers two live songs as BONUS TRACKS recorded in 2000 in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, “Fariseos” and “Negando lo No Negadi ”in both tracks it´s possible to appreciate why they were the kings of the stage in those years, hatred, alkol and blood, in addition to an honest proposal is what these great death metal musicians transpired.

Set for release on June 25 via mighty Go Down Records, two years after the band’s critically acclaimed sophomore album “Cathodnatius”, Ananda Mida is back with “Karnak”! An EP packed with three magical tracks, a release that bears witness to the unfettered and spiced up attitude of improvisations, that has constantly distinguished the band’s live activity. Featuring an unreleased instrumental track (“Anulios”), a live jam with iconic Mario Lalli (Yawning Man & Fatso Jetson), and the legendary opening track of “Cathodnatius” (“The Pilot”), this EP will – without any doubt – please all fans of the psychedelic genre.

Give ear and listen to Ananda Mida’s and Mario Lalli’s live jam right here:

“August 2018. The first date of Yawning Man’s Italian tour was staged at the internationally known Teatro delle Voci in Treviso. Mario Lalli has been instantly surprised by the refined instrumentation and immediately wanted to visit its astonishing variety and huge entirety. That evening both performances were recorded, including the final two jams, in which Ananda Mida and Yawning Man mixed the lineups. “Jam with Mario” is proof of this. Many other exciting episodes took place during that tour from North to South of Italy, demonstrating the magical atmosphere thataccompanied us that Summer.” Ananda Mida states.

Tracklist:

  1. Anulios (instrumental)
  2. Jam With Mario (feat. Mario Lalli)
  3. The Pilot (live)

“Karnak” drops June 25 on Go Down Records and is available for pre-order on VINYL or DIGITAL
