Post Thrash Metal Italian veterans EVERSIN release “Soulgrinder” as the first song from their new album “Armageddon Genesi”. The track, featuring a great lead guitar played by Ralph Santolla (DEICIDE, DEATH, OBITUARY etc.) is presented through a lyric video, watch it below:
“Armageddon Genesi” will be out via My Kingdom Music on June 29th, 2018 and will present as special guest not only Ralph Santolla‘s guitar, but also Lee Wollenschlaeger (great vocalist in MALEVOLENT CREATION) performing lead vocals on the title-track. Expect the apex of EVERSIN’s career, for sure the most violent, heavy and furious act ever recorded by the Sicilian act.
Earlier today we got worrying news about RALPH SANTOLLA, former guitarist of Death, Iced Earth, Deicide, Obituary etc., that he suffered a heart attack on Tuesday night, and is now in a coma at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa, Florida.
Sue Santolla-Rocha, Ralph’s mother, has posted via her Facebook page the following update, 6 hours ago:
“Friend and family..it is out there now so let me tell you what I know. Ralph thought he had a spider bite on Saturday. Went to the hospital. It was not a spider bite, it was a blood clot. Tuesday nite he fell and he had a heart attack. John Rocha gave him CPR until EMT arrive. His heart had stopped but they got him back. His visuals are staple but he is in a coma. He is on a ventilator but he is breathing around it he could breathe on his own but they do not want to had additional strain to his body. He is in a coma. That is the main concern at this moment. They can fix everything else. We are having as many of his friends as he can come and talk to him and play music. There has been a minimal movement but some. It is ICU but he is in a private room and they are letting anyone in and they can stay as long as they want. So please pray as he has people all over the world praying and if you can come and spend time with him. Please..he needs to get back from the place that he is in. I love you all…let’s just work on getting him out of the coma if we can. I will keep everyone update the best I can st Joseph hospital. Van dyke rd Tampa”
Our thoughts and good vibes are there with you, Ralph, don’t give up! \m/ Tarja and Metal Shock Finland crew!

ALPHA OMEGA Management is excited to announce the signing of U.S. death metal masters AMON!
AMON was formed in 1987, by the Hoffman brothers Eric and Brian! In 1987 AMON had a demo recorded, entitled “Feasting The Beast”, the second demo “Sacrificial” was recorded a year later, at Morrisound in Tampa FL with Scott Burns. The band changed the name to DEICIDE when they got signed to Roadrunner Records. The Hoffman brothers resurrected AMON again in 2007, and released the album in 2012, called “Liar In Wait” (available on iTunes and Amazon also available on Born of Chaos Records).
Currently AMON is working on new album, featuring NICK BARKER (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Lock Up, Brujeria, Benediction,Testament, Gorgoroth, Ancient, among the others) on drums, who’s been tapped also for the next AMON live shows and tours.
