Pioneering New York death metal legends INTERNAL BLEEDING have announced a livestream in conjunction with Dark Forces Live, showing on 2nd Jan at 5pm EST/ 10PM GMT / 11PM CET.

Tickets and merch bundles can be purchased here: https://darkforceslive.com

Guitarist Chris Pervelis commented “Welp, 2020 certainly sucked — so let’s bring in a new, better year on January 2! Join IB and thousands of fans worldwide and SLAM your way into 2021 with a killer livestream concert.”

The band will perform as set featuring material spanning their career as well as their devastatingly heavy sixth full length album, Corrupting Influence, out now via Unique Leader Records.

Obituary’s Trevor Peres, Joe Cincotta from Full Force Studio, and Sean Bell from Forever Dark have joined together creating Dark Forces Live, a new live streaming platform. To celebrate, Dark Forces Live has invited INTERNAL BLEEDING to perform at their inaugural livestream event. The performance will broadcast from Designatronix industries in Ronkonkoma, NY.

Trevor Peres comments: “After doing the livestreams with Obituary, Joe Cincotta, who was doing the sound for the first two streams, asked me if I would want to start up a production/promotion company to produce livestreams up in New York. I, immediately, loved the idea and figured we could help out metal bands that don’t know where to start to produce a livestream concert. We put a ton of hours researching and figuring out how this shit works, so we are taking that new found knowledge and experience to other bands and starting Dark Forces Live.”

Norwegian progressive metal outfit GREEN CARNATION have teamed up with PROG magazine for the premiere of their brand new single titled “The World Without a View”. Composed, arranged and recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown, the band has dedicated their new single to their fans. Listen to the track HERE.

Vocalist Kjetil Nordhus comments: “This is a big day for Green Carnation, being able to share a new song that wasn’t planned at all before Covid-19. We managed to compose this in the strictest lockdown period in Norway in 2020, and then record it in the studio this autumn. The music video is made by Costin Chioreanu, and is a wonderful art video, showing how he made our cover art. We would like to thank Costin for his amazing work. The song and the video are both big bonuses this year for us, and hopefully also for our fans.”

2020 was going to be a big year for the band, releasing and supporting their first album for 14 years via Season of Mist in May and celebrating their 20th anniversary as recording artists. Approaching the end of a devastating year for the live music industry the band is happy for the opportunity to release new material much earlier than planned.

“The World Without a View” is a near 10 minute epic and is a digital release only. The recording has been financed by the band and is available for purchase via the band’s Bandcamp page HERE.

“The World Without a View” is recorded and mixed by Endre Kirkesola in DUB Studio, mastered by Maor Appelbaum Mastering. Cover design by Costin Chioreanu.

FIVE THE HIEROPHANT Reveal Sophomore Album Details, Video Teaser Revealed, Vinyl Release Of Debut Full-Length Confirmed

Dark Essence Records have announced the details of “Through Aureate Void”, the second full-length album from Britain’s FIVE THE HIEROPHANT, a band that uses unusual instruments to create a dark and drone-like universe where psychedelic black metal combines with jazz and doom to devastating effect.

The follow up to 2017’s “Over Phlegethon”,  “Through Aureate Void” goes in an even more psychedelic direction, without losing any of the heaviness or darkness that imbued their debut album.

As the band explains:
 
It took us longer than anticipated, as you can imagine, due to circumstances that befall us all. Nonetheless, the new album is finished, and ready to take you on a journey through aureate void. It’s quite abstract, and there’s lots of experimentation, both in regard to the sound and instruments used, and to the song structures. A lot of it comes from improvisation and leaving things to chance. I suppose we have taken it further than our debut album.

A video teaser for “Through Aureate Void” can be seen below.

Set for release on the 26th February 2021, and once again with a cover by the legendary Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum, track listing for “Through Aureate Void” is as follows:
 
1. Leaf in the Current
2. Fire from Frozen Cloud
3. Berceuse (for Magnetic Sleep)
4. Pale Flare over Marshes
5. The Hierophant (II)

“Through Aureate Void” will be available in CD, LP and Digital formats, and can now be pre-ordered from:
 
Webshop: https://darkessencerecords.no/shop
Bandcamp: https://five-the-hierophant.bandcamp.com
US Webshop: https://darkessence.aisamerch.com/ 
 
Fans of FIVE THE HIEROPHANT will also be delighted to hear that Dark Essence Records will be releasing a vinyl version of “Over Phlegethon”.  This is the first time that the album has been released on vinyl, and tracklisting is as follows:
 
1. Queen over Phlegethon
2. Vampire
3. Seafarer
4. Der Geist der stets Verneint
5. Sepulchre
6. Omen Tree

The vinyl edition of “Over Phlegethon”, which will also hit the streets on the 26th February, is now available to pre-order from:
 
Webshop: https://darkessencerecords.no/shop
Bandcamp: https://five-the-hierophant.bandcamp.com

The official video for the track “Queen Over Phlegethon” from FIVE THE HIEROPHANT’s 2017 album “Over Phlegethon” can be seen at https://youtu.be/ndYLCY65tW8
 
FIVE THE HIEROPHANT’s  lineup comprises Chris on drums, Dan on percussion instruments (toms, bongos, djembe, zither, tabla, triangle guirro, shakers, death whistle, cymbals), Mitch – bass guitar effects, omichord, noisebox, analogue synthesizer, Jon on saxophone, music saw, bells, Kali on guitar, field recordings, violin, zither, bow guitar, dungchen. And much more besides!

In loving memory of Saverio…

Alternative metallers NOISKIN have released their touching new single and video “Save me”, dedicated to a friend who passed away last Summer!

Watch “Save me” here:

The band on the single:
“Save me” is dedicated to a friend of ours who passed away last summer. It’s a song about rage and pain, that has given us the strength to carry on during these very hard times, aware that we have to live every single day as if it were the last one. There are things that we can change, some others we cannot. We have to be wise in understanding the difference.

More information on NOISKIN

In 2015, Luca (lead vocals) and Marco (lead guitar) teamed up with their longtime friend Simone (bass guitar) and met Federico (drummer). A common mindset and the different though keen musical backgrounds were the perfect soil to plant the Noiskin seed. The band soon started to work on their first tracks, and found their musical dimension into the alternative metal scene. Songs soon started to draw the common scenario that would become the first full length, Hold Sway Over, released in February, 2019: a concept album revolving around the theme of choices and the situations they put you into. While the album was being written and recorded, the band gigged around northern Italy. Noiskin is not only music. Noiskin means communicating, it means feeling, it is sharing.
