AREVENANT LEGACY was recorded and produced in house at Sewn Shut Sounds by the band themselves, with mixing and production from producer, friend, and honorary ‘4th member’ Joey Virrueta.
The band comments, “We are pleased to present to you, after much time, our first collective effort as INTERLOPER: AREVENANT LEGACY. It has been a long time coming, to say the least. This band, as some of you may know, has undergone a variety of changes, the most important of which being the evolution of the music we write. Although the five songs that make up ‘AREVENANT LEGACY’ came about over the course of a few years, the majority of them for one reason or another never saw the light of day upon completion. Rather than abandon them in the wake of the full length, we have decided to let them guide the way. The path our listeners would have otherwise taken over time all along, we now offer as one body of work. Please enjoy ‘AREVENANT LEGACY’ – the journey traveled in the pursuit of what makes Interloper, Interloper.”
Below is the tracklist for AREVENANT LEGACY EP: 1. An Emerald Flame 2. Silence 3. Wishful Thinking 4. Hand in Hand 5. Glasshouse

Today Dutch Metal trio CRYPTOSIS proudly present you the official video to “Transcendence”, which has been produced by Aimed & Framed.
CRYPTOSIS checked in with the following comment about the song’s lyrics:
“In 2149 it is possible to purchase digital thoughts, knowledge and talents from a deceased person. The term “self investment” has shifted to a whole different kind of perspective. People can now enhance their mind to be more creative and smarter beyond their wildest dreams. This all comes at a price, since the new technology is so addictive that society can’t live without it anymore. Mankind has become the host… of a parasite.”
CRYPTOSIS will release their debut album “Bionic Swarm” on March 26th. The album will be available in various formats and can be pre – ordered HERE!

Denmarks Death-Metal powerhouse BAEST release “Necro Sapiens” the third single of their upcoming album release “Necro Sapiens” (March 5th ) accompanied by an outstanding official video-clip. The video premiere will start at 7 PM CET/1 PM ET. The band comments:
“Escaping the creeping death of covid-19, Baest decided to bring the audience along, to a cleansing real experience of the after/pre-show shenanigans (The truth may differ, intoxication-wise. No one remembers anymore…). Enjoy the title track video and watch some real necro sapiens in action – braindead and thriving.“

About “Necro Sapiens”
“Bred by the elite, necro sapiens roam the earth. Soulless beings dictated at the hands of the Czar. Subjects of autopsies, and Meathook Massacres for entertainment, these lifeless reprobates have only each other. They are one, they are none.”
BAEST come from Aarhus in Denmark and have successfully established themselves as one of the country’s most promising metal acts in recent years. While deeply rooted in straight-forward classic death metal inspired by genre legends like Dismember, Entombed, Morbid Angel, Death, and Bolt Thrower, the 2015 formed band evolved from a Danish underground phenomenon to an internationally touring act (2018 tour with Abbath, 2019 EU/UK trek with Decapitated). Also, at festivals like Summer Breeze, Copenhell, Ruhrpott Metal Meeting, Roskilde, they left audiences impressed and begging for more. After their already praised debut album “Danse Macabre” the band took it to the next level in 2019 and delivered “Venenum” where they refined their already steamroller-like signature sound.
With the expectation-bar already set so high for their next record BAEST truly drops their most anticipated and most important album so far.
The album is available in various formats and can be pre – ordered HERE!

Last December, 4th, Swedish melodic death metal legends SOILWORK shook the metal world in its foundations when the band released their new EP “A Whisp Of The Atlantic” – featuring the most daring and virtuous song of the band to date, the seventeen-minutes-title track that showcases the ingenuity and skills of SOILWORK in all their shades.
Today, SOILWORK announce the release of an epic feature film that presents “A Whisp Of The Atlantic” in its unity by linking the entire story line with new and small bits of music and brand new footage.
The video will premier on SOILWORK‘s Youtube channel on Wednesday, February, 3rd. Set your reminder here:
The almost immediately sold-out physical edition of “A Whisp Of The Atlantic” is now back in stock as “Mid Blue” Vinyl [limited to 600 units]. Get you copy here: http://nblast.de/Soilwork-WhispAtlantic
SOILWORK‘s musical and their philosophical approach on the new EP does not only close the circle of the ‘The Feverish Trinity’ but also invites the listener to dive deep into the most primal element: Water. Starting with ‘Feverish’ and ending with ‘A Whisp Of The Atlantic’, the whole EP is a journey from the rage of individuals to the search for something that replaces religion. “From the desire of Feverish, the urge of Desperado, the determinism of Death Diviner, the insights and questions of The Nothingness and the Devil and the acceptance and spiritual searching of A Whisp of the Atlantic. The whole song and video sequence is like a slightly different take on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s all about realising that we’re all stuck on this rock and that we need to find something more inclusive than religion to get through this together. Because in the end, we’re all outsiders, genetically hunter-gatherers trying to fit in in a world that we created but at the same time wasn’t really made for us”, David Andersson sums up. “The overarching theme is liberation from the extremely low level of the social and cultural debate these days, and it starts with the fundamentals and ends with the phenomenological. From liberation into ascension.”
The tracklist reads as follows: 1. A Whisp Of The Atlantic 2. Feverish 3. Desperado 4. Death Diviner 5. The Nothingness And The Devil
