ABBATH recently released a video of a live recording of a new track. The video for the new song, titled “Fenrir Hunts” is streaming now at Blabbermouth.com.

Regarding the video, the band states: “We have performed “Fenrir Hunts” live since our debut concert at Tuska Festival in Finland. This led to the decision to record a few live songs properly. With the aid of a camera team, we have recorded three tracks in a live setting at the beginning of September. Along with “Fenrir Hunts”, which you can see today, there will be two cover versions coming up soon. Now, here is “Fenrir Hunts”, the first glimpse from our upcoming debut album!”

To celebrate and commemorate the release of ABBATH’s forthcoming debut album, the band have scheduled their album launch show in London on January 23. The band comments: “With every great release, there is a party to go with it – and this album is no exception. As such, the London show that was scheduled for September is now moving to Saturday 23rd of January 2016. All tickets remain valid. PRIMORDIAL and CONAN will still be coming along for the ride, alongside Metal Hammer UK DJ’s, and more.”

Nuclear Blast Announce Re-issue Of MESHUGGAH ‘S “I”

MESHUGGAH - IAccording to Nuclear Blast, Swedish extreme metal act MESHUGGAH will re-issue the band’s 2004’s one song EP, “I” on 26th of September via Nuclear Blast. The EP has been re-mastered and includes two live tracks recorded during the 2012 – 2013 Ophidian Trek World Tour, plus a previously unreleased studio track recorded in July 2003 at MESHUGGAH’s own Fear & Loathing studio in Stockholm, Sweden. The track listing for “I” is:

1 – I
2 – Bleed (live)
3 – Dancers To A Discordant System (live)
4 – Pitch Black

 

MESHUGGAH drummer Tomas Haake commented:

“This 21 minute madness that is the song “I” is something we’ve always been extremely proud of!! Originally recorded for Jason Popson/Fractured transmitter record label, this was a “one off” that NB gave us the go ahead for – as we were under contract with them. Our plan was to just quickly write a little nugget of a song to help our friend Jason to kinda kickstart his label. It wasn’t quick however. We ended up spending a couple months on this thing as it just kept evolving and kind of took on a life of its own. This song is really different as it wasn’t “written” in the normal sense, but recorded without anything more than very open guidelines/ideas as to what kind of style we wanted each part to have. For examples, the initial 1½ minute drumfill is an excerpt of around a 15 minute recording of me just randomly going off on a kick/tom fill. Once we had chosen which part of it to use, we had to chart out the hits on paper and guitarist Fredrik and Marten then basically used sight-reading/avista to get the hits right while recording. And this is how we continued through the whole song/process.

We often get the question “When will you guys play I?” – And though I’m sure it could be done with a lot of listening and hard work – It’s really too unstructured a track. It would take up too much time and effort to make sense.

We’re super stoked now, to have this be re-released under the NB flag. Distribution and access to this little demon of a song was never quite what we had wished back when this was released, so we’re thrilled to see it be brought back to life!!

To further add value to this re-release, we added a couple live tracks and another weird little track “Pitch black” that some of our fans may have heard but probably not all, as it was only released in a limited number.

Enjoy!

/Tomas Haake”

 

MESHUGGAH are celebrating their 25-year anniversary and they will release their upcoming live DVD / Blu-ray + 2-CD, “The Ophidian Trek” in this fall.

MONUMENTS: Reveal ‘I, The Creator’, First Track Taken From “The Amanuensis”

Before leaving for their first tour in order to promote their upcoming album MONUMENTS have just launched a brand new track and semi-static clip to go along with it from their upcoming album “The Amanuensis”.

Check out the video for ‘I, The Creator’ below:

(people from Germany please tune in to http://www.muzu.tv/monuments/i-the-creator-official-album-track-video/2220657/)

“The Amanuensis”, MONUMENTS’ sophomore album and follow up to 2012’s critically acclaimed “Gnosis”, is scheduled for a release on the following dates:

Europe / Australia /NZ: June 23rd, 2014

USA / Canada: July 8th, 2014

“The Amanuensis”, at least the title, was inspired by author David Mitchell’s novel, “Cloud Atlas”. The complex story lines are the perfect analog for MONUMENTS. Musically, the group weave in and out of themes, motifs, and professor-like note calculations with graceful ease. But lyrically “The Amanuensis” comes from a very different place. “The album is about the Samsara cycle,” reveals Browne (guitar). “The cyclical existence of life that we are all bound to.”

The story of “The Amanuensis” is divided in 11 chapters whose titles read as follows:

1. I, The Creator

2. Origin Of Escape

3. Atlas

4. Horcrux

5. Garden Of Sankhara

6. The Alchemist

7. Quasimodo

8. Saga City

9. Jinn

10. I, The Destroyer

11. Samsara

Before touring Europe right around the release of “The Amanuensis” with Protest The Hero MONUMENTS are about to embark on a quick tour on the mainland with support coming from Dioramic.
