‘Path’ is the third single that anticipates WHERE STARS COLLIDE‘s debut album, coming out later this year.
The band comments:
‘Path’ is the third single that anticipates our new debut album. Through ‘Path’ we reflect on life’s continuous stream of difficulties, that make it hard to keep the right pace when we walk on the ‘path’ of existence. The lyrics consist in a dialogue with personified life, which seems indifferent and uninterested in our needs. But we manage not to give up: life’s paths are all similar to each other, but they offer several stumbling blocks. Our job is to understand which way is the right one for us, to reach our fulfilment. ‘Path’ is made of a sweeter melody and deals with the same themes found in ‘Freedom’ and ‘Rage’, with a more positive tone.

Praised by fans and critics alike for their outstanding 2020 debut album (“Impius Viam“), Sweden’s NIGHT CROWNED have unleashed the hotly anticipated & worthy successor, titled “Hädanfärd”!
With nine tracks spanning over 45 minutes, the band’s brand new full-length record is an intoxicating blend of uncompromising blackened death metal, symphonic arrangements and bleak & mesmerizing soundscapes. No surprise here, since the band’s line-up consits of well experienced extreme metal veterans, featuring former and current members of legendary acts such as Dark Funeral, Nightrage and Cipher System!
Thematically inspired by a story by singer K. Romlin, which deals with encounters with death, “Hädanfärd” is an infernal, bleak monolith of an album, one that will most likely see NIGHT CROWNED step out as one of Sweden’s best kept blackened death metal secrets.
Vocalist K. Romlin states: “What we made is not just an album, it is a story. A story that has no beginning, nor end. A story that is as old as time itself. This is a story about life given & life taken, this is the tale when I meet death.“
But enough of words, listen and be amazed by the epic track “Nattkrönt”, streaming here:
“Hädanfärd” is out now via Noble Demon and available for purchase HERE
Limited merch bundles with the cover art shirt in various sizes together with either the new digipak of “Hädanfärd” or black vinyl, orange or ghost silver marble color, are available HERE
A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH,the doom metal band led by founding Type O Negative and Life of Agony member Sal Abruscato,have released a new song, ‘Shards Of Glass’. It’s the second single taken from the upcoming album ‘Infernum In Terra’, out September 24th, 2021 via Long Branch Records / SPV.
Sal Abruscato about the new single:“This song refers to the mental and emotional abuse that happens in a family setting. Tip toeing around a family member that causes only emotional damage to you and your family, what ever they touch they destroy, what ever they say about your character is a lie and no one trusts what you are saying is true. You get this feeling that the broken glass you walk on is what lies in their wake of destruction.”
‘Infernum In Terra’ is the fourth studioalbum by A Pale Horse Named Death and was mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Meat Loaf, Yes, Sepultura, Halford etc.) at Maor Appelbaum Mastering (California,USA) while the artwork was done by Kelvin Doran of Serpent Tusk Studios (Dublin, Ireland).
“The album to me represents a new beginning, turning a new leaf shall we say with the same vibe from past albums but with a fresh open minded approach,” says Abruscato.He adds: “There is no real concrete specific concept, it touches on some personal topics in my life long, my interest in the dark arts, that to have light you must have darkness to balance everything. With daylight comes nightfall, with heaven there is hell and at this moment the world seems to be in a very dark place hence the title of the album ‘Infernum In Terra’. This is a very dark album, but what else is new I always write dark music to sooth a dark soul!”
Sal Abruscato was born in Brooklyn, NY, and started playing drums at the age of 10. He is the co-founder of Type O Negative with Peter Steele and performed on Slow, Deep & Hard, Origin Of The Feces, Bloody Kisses and various best of and soundtracks. Sal was the drummer for Life Of Agony and performed on River Runs Red, Ugly, River Runs Again, Broken Valley and A Place Where There’s No More Pain. Additional projects include Supermassiv & My Mortality. He is now the singer, songwriter and guitarist for A Pale Horse Named Death.

Italian symphonic metallers ETERNAL SILENCE will be releasing their new album “Timegate Anathema” on October 8, 2021 via Rockhots Records. Recorded at The Groove Factory (Udine, Italy) and Line/Out Studio (Milano, Italy) with mixing and mastering by Michele Guaitoli (Visions of Atlantis, Temperance, Kaledon), “Timegate Anathema” will feature ten tracks of symphonic and power prog metal plus will see the band introduce new elements and experimentation into their sound. The album goes from power metal songs like “The Way Of Time” and “My Soul Sad Until Death” to heavy and dark ones like “Rain and Red Death Masquerade“, passing through the catchy melodies of tracks like “Glide In The Air” and acoustic moments on “Lonely and Firefly“. The main theme that inspired the album is the concept of Time.
“It has been a long time since our last full length was released, we took our time to make the best songs possible and then the pandemic broke in and forced us to stop and wait for the right time to publish it. But now everything is ready and we can’t wait to finally share this with you all.” adds the band.
Today, Eternal Silence unveils their music video for the second single “Glide In The Air”, which is one of the most easy-listening songs from the album with its catchy melodies and beating rhythm.
The band explains the song’s concept in further detail: “This song was conceived by our guitarist Enzo Criscuolo. The guitars and the rhythmic section are strong and the beat of the drums plays a main role. Unlike the other tracks on the album, for Glide In The Air, there’s no bombastic orchestra and classical strings, but electronic keyboards and synthesizers that give the entire song a different taste and personality. The vocal part is completely entrusted to Marika, who shows her full potential in a more modern and poppy ambiance.”
Formed in Varese, Italy in 2008, Eternal Silence combines powerful guitar riffs, a thunderous rhythmic section, catchy melodies, and bombastic orchestral tracks with the support of two vocalists, Marika Vanni and guitarist Alberto Cassina sharing the front stage. The band’s current line-up is completed by Alessio Sessa (bass), Andrea Zannin (drums) and Enzo Criscuolo (guitarist).
Since their formation, the band has unleashed three albums and two EPs. 2020’s “Renegades” (EP), 2018’s “Metamorphosis” (EP), and 2017’s “Mastermind Tyranny” were released on Sliptrick Records, and their earlier full-lengths “Raw Poetry” (2013) and “Chasing Chimera” (2015) were released on Underground Symphony Records.
Over the years, the band has been a consistent touring presence in Europe, performing in Germany, Switzerland, France, Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, and Hungary along with being support for bands such as Temperance, Therion, Haggard, Sound Storm, Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) and Jani Liimatainen (Insomnium) Blackoustic.
