“Our second single trundles with majestical melodies on earth breaking riffs all in five minutes. The song was composed by our guitarist early in the beginning when we started to record our third album. The funeral procession carries the coffin to the last place. Life in the form which we used to know it is ended. Earth takes back what’s borrowed for this short trip, to learn something valuable. The image of the mind is now transformed into music.” the band comments.
“Syttyköön Toinen Aurinko”, whose lyrics are entirely in Finnish, was recorded at DeepNoise Studios, Finland (Bloodred Hourglass, Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace, To/Die/For), while the stunning, sophisticated cover artwork comes by Niko Anttila (Wolfheart, Sabaton).

The most recent signing to the Prosthetic Records roster is Missouri’s SUMMONING THE LICH. The death metal four-piece have today released a brand new single with an accompanying music video, for a blistering track titled Descend.
On signing to Prosthetic Records, the band had the following to say:
“We are beyond excited to announce our signing with Prosthetic Records! Some of our favorite bands, old and new, have been a part of the Prosthetic family and to join that group is incredible. They were always a label on our short list and their enthusiasm for our music, coupled with their confidence in our direction, made this decision a no-brainer.”
Prosthetic Records’ Steve Joh adds:
“Our friends at PinUp Management sent SUMMONING THE LICH our way and we were immediately blown away. While we were speaking with them, a great writer from the St. Louis area passed word that they were the nicest and hardest working band in the city, so we were sold! We can’t wait for you to hear more from these guys.”
Merging blistering black metal speed and trudging death metal menace with ruinous technical prowess, the quartet’s new track, Descend, ushers in an exciting new chapter for the band. SUMMONING THE LICH’s sound is one rooted in musical dexterity, abrasion and fantasy, lyrically drawing from the best elements of roleplay game favourites such as Dungeons & Dragons and Magic The Gathering.
Describing the new single, the band offered some insight on the song:
“Our single, Descend, is a cautionary tale on the dangers of abusing those who use magic and the true horrors that await within their world. With this song we centered the composition around the drudging chorus – to really help the listeners feel the plunge into the abyss. Danny Tilson did a killer job shooting and editing our video for the track and Mitch Myers from Orphan House was our vfx wizard. Our artist, Austin Phillips nails the artwork for the single and really captured the climax of this tale visually.”
The band’s rise from underground hopefuls to playing live dates alongside bands such as Origin and Beneath The Massacre – and several stops on the Summer Slaughter tour – to finding a new home in Prosthetic Records is just the start of their journey, which will continue in 2021 with the promise of yet more new material.
“In these strange days of Covid-19, we feel the time is right to give you a song with a positive touch. This is a song about you deciding your own destiny and that you can achieve whatever you want if you never give up, never take shit and believe in yourself,” says LION’S SHARE singer Nils Patrik Johansson.
In late 2018, LION’S SHARE released a new five-track EP, plus its complete catalog – remastered with new artwork – on streaming services and digital service providers for the first time. The band have since released a few more digital singles, some of which will and some of which won’t end up on the forthcoming full-length album.
LION’S SHARE guitarist Lars Chriss says: “We had big plans for 2020, with a new album and everything. We had just done our first couple of live shows in many years this past March in Germany when the Covid-19 put stop to it all.”
Both Johansson and Chriss remark that they have always worked very well together, and at this point it feels the most natural to keep LION’S SHARE as a duo, with friends helping out wherever needed.
The LION’S SHARE catalog features appearances by members and ex-members of KISS, Megadeth, King Diamond, HammerFall, Symphony X, Chimaira, Therion, Yngwie Malmsteen band, Candlemass, etc. Mixers include top engineers such as Jens Bogren (Arch Enemy, Opeth, Symphony X, Amon Amarth) – Niklas Flyckt (one-time Grammy award winner and four-time nominee) and Ronny Lahti (Roxette, Europe, Glenn Hughes etc).
LION’S SHARE band have toured with bands like Motörhead, Manowar, DIO, Saxon, Iced Earth, Nevermore, U.D.O. (ex-Accept), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and have played many of the major rock and metal festivals.
Italian hard rockers DAMN FREAKS – a side project of Iacopo Meille, frontman & lead singer of Tygers of Pan Tang – are set to release their new album “Love in Stereo” next week, October 23rd, via Volcano Records.
Rising from the ashes of a previous band called FOOLS’ MOON, drummer and producer Matteo Panichi had started working on some ideas guitarist Marco Torri had sent him. Matteo asked Iacopo Meille, lead singer of Tygers of Pan Tang and ex member of Fools’ Moon – to join in and he suggested Claudio Rogai as bass player. A “Good ol’ party time rock’n’roll” band, that’s what DAMN FREAKS wanted to be from the start. Their debut album released in 2017 set the path, the new album Love in Stereo will prove their skill.

Germany holds an important place in the story of Volbeat.

They have always supported us and still do. It’s amazing to see the impact the fans have had on Volbeat, we’ve become fans of theirs, too.”
Recently, Volbeat announced their Record Store Day Black Friday release, Hokus Bonus: a vinyl-only compilation of ‘bonus tracks’ from special and international editions of the band’s previous albums.
