Alaska’s ATONEMENT DENIED Sign Worldwide Deal With Extreme Management Group

Extreme Management Group (EMG), home to bands like Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Rings Of Saturn, and more, has announced their partnership with Alaskan alternative metal group, ATONEMENT DENIED.

After releasing the band’s debut EP, Atonement Denied immediately garnered acclaim in their area, having been voted into the Top Original Alaskan Bands by the Anchorage Press. 

Atonement Denied, hailing from the frozen tundra of Alaska, blends a groove doom approach with a modern, alternative influence. Combining rhythm and melody, Atonement Denied presents their own style of dual guitar components, dense breakdowns, and the rapid blast-beats you have come to expect from a new age band. Atonement Denied merges singing and screaming into their vocal attack. Lyrically, as a mere observer to our worldly struggles, Atonement Denied writes from a raven’s perspective.

Ravens still carry a spiritual importance to Native Alaskans; using this to symbolize the “watchful eye over humanity”, including all its misfortunes, misdeeds, as well as humanity’s successes and prosperities. 

Atonement Denied sets high expectations in their effort to create passionate, bold music; and looks to tour far outside their vast mountainous surroundings of Alaska, and its frost-molded landscapes.

Now, having inked a worldwide deal with Extreme Management Group (EMG), the band says: “We are ecstatic to announce our partnership with EMG! We know it’s a perfect fit and can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on! Lots of big things coming up; stay tuned.”

EMG said, “We are happy to be working with Atonement Denied. We expect big things to come from this partnership.”

AUTARKH Premiere New Song And Video ‘Alignment’

Dutch extreme metal outfit AUTARKH have partnered with Outburn Magazine to premiere the brand new song, “Alignment.” The song and video can be found at THIS LOCATION.

Founder Michel Nienhuis comments: “A place of uncertainty can be a fertile ground if you are open to any way a situation might unfold. All  might as well occur in your favor and it could feel like you don’t need to go with the flow because you are the flow. ‘Alignment’ tries to capture this most desirable form of motion, a realm where time and space are aligned. A truly astonishing state of being that ultimately leads to catharsis, self-government and independence.”

To misquote Allen Ginsburg “the circle DODECAHDRON is broken. But with death comes rebirth.”  AUTARKH takes a radical approach to their musical assault, consuming the listener with dizzying maelstroms of chaos. ‘Form In Motion’ embodies the word “extreme,” putting forth an intrusive battery of blistering guitars, pummeling drums, spastic math metal salvos and cacophonous electronics that culminates in one of the most robust and daring debut records metal has seen yet.

‘Form in Motion’ is due on March 12. Pre-orders are now live HERE.

The album cover for ‘Form in Motion’ was created by Manuel Tinnemans/Comaworx.

Track-list
1. Primitive Constructs (1:23)
2. Turbulence (6:43)
3. Cyclic Terror (5:17)
4. Impasse (1:50)
5. Introspectrum (5:20)
6. Lost To Sight (7:39)
7. Metacognition (2:47)
8. Clouded Aura (7:25)

10. Zeit ist nur eine Illusion (2:27)

Grammy Award-winning four-piece GRETA VAN FLEET have unveiled a live video for “Heat Above,” the latest track from their highly anticipated sophomore LP The Battle at Garden’s Gate, due April 16 via Lava/Republic. Watch/share the video filmed in Nashville HERE.

“‘Heat Above’ is theatrical, eloquent, and exaggerated,” explains the group. “This is a dream in the clouds, a moment of peace in the storm.  Thematically, we are dead center in the cult of Heaven, surreal, strange, alive and free.” Watch the official music video, which Rolling Stone hails as “heavenly,” HERE.

The Battle at Garden’s Gate reflects heavily on the group’s personal and spiritual growth, as well as deepening empathy for the struggles and inequalities others are experiencing.

“We realized that while growing up, we had been shielded by many things,” describes drummer Danny Wagner. “As we started to travel a lot, meet new and different people and experience different cultures, our definition of ‘normal’ changed.” Bassist Sam Kiszka adds, “I suppose that everything has changed except what got us here in the first place…our perception of the world, perception of life itself, what it means to be an artist, what it means to be part of a beautiful, gorgeous society. We’ve gained a larger understanding of why we’re all here.”

The Battle at Garden’s Gate was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin (Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Adele). “There was a lot of self-evolution happening during the writing of this album that was prompted by experiences I had, experiences we all had,” explains vocalist Josh Kiszka. “It’s reflecting a lot of the world that we’ve seen, and I think that it’s reflecting a lot of personal truth,” says guitarist Jake Kiszka.

“Certainly after this, we’ve grown in so many ways,” Josh explains. “This album has taught us a lot, about life in general, about ourselves, about all of us, about the world we live in.” Pre-order the album HERE.

Forming in Frankenmuth, Michigan back in 2012, Greta Van Fleet consists of three brothers, vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka, bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka, as well as drummer Danny Wagner. Together they have gone on to sell one million concert tickets across multiple continents, perform on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Tonight Show,” top the Billboard U.S. Mainstream Rock and Active Rock charts with their debut single “Highway Tune” in 2017, and win the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2019 for their debut full length album, From the Fires.

“In the 80’s, when Brian Slagel released ‘Metal Massacre‘ – the inaugural Metal Blade compilation that featured a little local band called Metallica – he altered the course of music history as we know it.

We’re so proud to bring you this next chapter in our Anthology series and can’t wait to dive in together to unpack the rich history and influence of Metal Blade.”

It is limited to 1,000 pressings. The accompanying podcast series features five episodes with the label’s artists and founder Brian Slagel to guide listeners on a four week journey through these hard-hitting albums. Fans will also get a bonus Metal Blade Records axe patch merch item. See below for the list of included albums; purchase your copy now at: bit.ly/3bcJvvb
