Swedish innovative blackened death metallers DIABOLICAL are set to release their new album “Eclipse” on February 15th, watch below the first two songs from the album. Furthermore the band will be touring Europe with SEPTICFLESH and KRISIUN in March/April.
Stated the band: “2019 is looking to be a defining year for Diabolical. Our new album “Eclipse” will be released on February 15. It’s been a long and hard process and soon we will finally be able to share it with you all. In March/April we are touring five weeks with SEPTICFLESH and KRISIUN covering most of Europe, and after that we are looking to do even more shows. We are very much looking forward to play new songs for you and share thoughts and drinks with many of you during our travels throughout Europe. Fabulam novam scribemus vivimusque!”
More than twenty years after their formation in northern Sweden, innovative blackened death metallers DIABOLICAL proves to be more vital than ever and puts forth “Eclipse”, a concept album reflecting on the dark side of humanity that forces the listener to explore his own diabolical side. The album is a tour de force with spitting musical and aesthetic complexity swirling around a dense soundscape of excellently distilled and refined ideas, altogether forming a rare display of musical craftsmanship equaled by very few contemporary metal bands. With nine gracefully raging songs, “Eclipse” presents DIABOLICAL as a mature and sophisticated band on the rise to new heights.
In spring 2019, Greek symphonic death metal outfit, SEPTICFLESH, will embark on a massive 45 day long European tour through 22 countries.
Supported by Brazilian death metallers KRISIUN and Sweden’s DIABOLICAL, the “Codex Omega” European Tour 2019 will start in Essen and conclude in Ludwigsburg after almost two months on the road.
Just recently, the band announced a unique live event in which they will perform their characteristic brand of symphonic death metal accompanied by a full orchestra and choir featuring over 100 musicians! The show, which has already sold out, will take place at the Metropolitan Theater in Mexico City, on February 2nd 2019 and will be captured on film for a future DVD release.
SEPTICFLESH‘s unique blend of symphonic arrangements, avant garde elements, atmosphere and eviscerating extreme metal has been converting legions into fans since the 90s. Now, with a streak of modern classic albums under their belt such as “Sumerian Daemons” (2002), “Communion” (2008), “The Great Mass” (2011), “Titan” (2014), and now “Codex Omega” (2017) there seems to be no stopping this creative juggernaut.
SEPTICFLESH‘s latest album »Codex Omega« is the first to feature former DECAPITATED drummer Kerim “Krimh” Lechner. Months of hard work and experimentation crafted the album, and resulted in 10 compositions of dark sonic bliss. Lyrically and musically, »Codex Omega« is by far the most infernal release of SEPTICFLESH to date. The album was produced by highly acclaimed metal producer, Jens Bogren (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, KREATOR). Besides the orchestral side represented once again by the Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague, the band utilised traditional instruments such as Oud and Duduk and also a 12 string electro-acoustic guitar, enhancing the mystical atmosphere of the compositions. Of course as always, »Codex Omega« is dominated by the relentless death guitar riffing and the pale melodies that are the trademark of SEPTICFLESH.
METALHEADS FOREVER, one of the biggest metal entities out there (having today more than 158k members, led by David Maloney) and Alpha Omega’s partner since February 2018, have posted online their September 2018 issue, featured by Alpha Omega’s BILL HUDSON‘s NORTHTALE alongside DEICIDE, KRISIUN, ABORTED, OMNIUM GATHERUM interviews, and many more!

The band comments:
“We proudly present you the cover for our new record! Based on Sumerian mythology, it shows three ancient gods transcending the beginning of creation, represented by the incredible art of Eliran Kantor. The sound of this record came out very organic, unlike many of the super edited/digital sounding albums these days. The songs are faster and more brutal than the previous records. Pure relentless death metal in your face!”
