Canadian blackened death horde NECRONOMICON have partnered with Exclaim! to premiere “Paradise Lost”, the first single from their upcoming record, ‘UNUS’. You can listen to the song at THIS LOCATION.

NECRONOMICON vocalist/guitarist Rob the Witch comments about the song’s concept, “It’s not what we gain in this life, but what we have lost as living beings that lost their way in conforming against our true nature to fit in a world that in reality is just an illusion.”

‘UNUS’ is due on October 18 via Season of Mist and can be pre-ordered HERE.

In addition to the song premiere, NECRONOMICON was just awarded a special Canadian certificate of honor for having a successful career of 31 years via H.S. Productions, Tommy Tremblay, and the people of the band’s hometown in Saguenay Lac St. Jean, QC. The only other band to ever receive this honor is VOIVOD, making it all that more special.

7. Ascending The throne of Baator (04:54)
8. Fhtagn (01:59)
9. Cursed MMXIX (04:13)

Total playing time: 0:40:10

Montreal’s premier blackened death metallers are back with ‘UNUS,’ the crushing and cinematic follow up to 2016’s ‘Advent of the Human God.’ With each record NECRONOMICON has created in the span of their 31-year career, the band has steadily evolved in both sound and power; ‘UNUS’ is no exception to this.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s legendary grimoire, NECRONOMICON formed in 1988 by founding guitarist and singer Rob “The Witch” in the deep, northern part of Canadian province Quebec, Fjord of Saguenay. Since then, the band have carefully released each full-length without haste, allowing them to perfect every nuance before unleashing their sonic assaults upon the masses. In 2019, NECRONOMICON was presented with a certificate of honor for over 30 years of service via H.S. production/Tommy Tremblay, and the people of Saguenay Lac St Jean, making them the second band after VOIVOD to ever receive this honor.

‘UNUS’ is a searing cacophony of blistering riffs, machine-like drums, and a symphonic ambience, culminating in a sound that calls to various metal icons such as DIMMU BORGIR, SEPTICFLESH, BEHEMOTH, and DEICIDE. The record combines the furious elements of death metal with the orchestral prowess of black metal, creating the perfect synthesis of both genres. Standout tracks like “Paradise Lost” and “Singularis Dominus” only solidify NECRONOMICON’s ability to continuously produce high quality metal that’s just as dark and brutal as it is elegant.

Recorded at Sliver Wings studio, produced by Rob The Witch
Mixed and mastered at Darth Mader music studio by Logan Mader (Machinehead)
Recording line-up:
Rob the Witch: Guitar/vocals/bass
Divider: drums

Special feature: Geirlioz (Dimmu Borgir) on Piano in ”From Ashes Into Flesh”.

ParadiseLost-early-demos

Portuguese label ALMA MATER RECORDS, run by MOONSPELL‘s mastermind and charismatic vocalist Fernando Ribeiro, is currently not only establishing itself as the first adress for Portuguese talents such as the just signed up&coming OKKULTIST, but also a brand for the classics and timeless metal releases. Today the ever-growing label has announced their Spring release schedule, that will contain the hotly anticipated ‘Drown In Darkness – The Early Demos’ by legendary PARADISE LOST, as well as a remastered version of MOONSPELL‘s pathbreaking ‘Night Eternal’!

‘Drown in Darkness – The Early Demos’ is a compilation album featuring the music of PARADISE LOST from their demos made between 1988 and ’89. This finest selection of tracks is featuring rare and never-published-before demo versions from the band’s 1988- ‘Paradise Lost’ album to the ‘Frozen Illusion’-era, alongside exciting live versions from their memorable show in Liverpool, 1989.

Says Fernando Ribeiro: “I believe this release to be real Doom service, brought to your cell!!! This was how Underground sounded back in the day, when shores were covered in thick fog and you could barely notice the tower of an ancient cathedral. Drown in Darkness + Frozen Illusion were two of the very first tapes I owned and pretty much my introduction to Underground. I will never cease to be impressed by the volume of anguish invoked by the cavernous reverb of everything and the lyrical and gutural delivery of Nick Holmes. It’s a solemn ocasion this one and hope you guys enjoy our Underground Majesty collection, out little musical map to the greatest Underground Metal ever produced.”

‘Drown in Darkness – The Early Demos’ will be available on the Official Record Store Day, April 13rd 2019, in 2LP Gatefold, Smoke Grey / Black, exclusively limited to 500 copies worldwide!

Moonspell-reissue

THE NIGHT IS OURS, THE NIGHT IS ETERNAL!

‘Night Eternal’ is the eighth studio album by Portuguese gothic metal pioneers MOONSPELL, originally released on May 16, 2008 in Europe and on June 10, 2008 in North America. It was pre-produced in Portugal with Waldemar Sorychta from 16 November to 30 November 2007, recorded in Denmark at the Antfarm Studio from 7 January to 31 January 2008. ‘Night Eternal’ still belongs to MOONSPELL’s most distinctive records to date, and a MUST-HAVE in every well-sorted MOONSPELL record collection.

Says Fernando Ribeiro: It’s been more than ten years since its original release but this one it’s still very deeply representative of what MOONSPELL is. Besides, it does sounds actual and it’s a hard find in the market. Owning the rights to the álbum, we decide to use them, to improve the edition and to bring you almost like a Night Eternal’s director cut, which we hope that can bring great memories or great findings your way.

Properly remastered and with the full tracklist of ALL songs we wrote and recorded for this album (including Age of Mothers, Earth of mine and Unhearted), ALMA MATER RECORDS is proud to bring yet another MOONSPELL title home and of course wishes to thank you for keep on collecting our releases. Regardless of the time that keeps running from us so fast and so slippery, music keeps us in timeless company, as eternal as the night, as if in a spring of rage, first light of our day.“
‘Night Eternal’ will be reissued on April 13rd 2019 in the following album formats:
– CD
– 2LP Gatefold with 6-pages-booklet
– 2LP Galaxy Splatter Blue Black

Paradise Lost Band 2017

On June 29th, British cult metallers PARADISE LOST will release a new version of their eighth full-length album “Believe In Nothing” that initially saw the light of day in 2000. The band was never really satisfied with the overall production and artwork of this record, Jaime Gomez Arellano remixed and remastered the twelve tracks and Branca Studio designed a dark and moody new cover artwork, to bring it closer to the initial vision that the band once had for their gothic rock album.

“It’s no secret that we were never entirely happy with the production on this record, despite really liking the songs,” states singer Nick Holmes. “It’s been a long time coming, but we finally found the right moment to go back into the studio with Gomez and play around with it. We hope you all enjoy the remixed version so you can hear how the songs were meant to sound.”

PARADISE LOST have revealed a lyric video for the remixed and remastered version of their hit single ‘Mouth’ that you can watch, here:

The album will be available as digipack and for the first time ever, as 180g double-vinyl in three different colours (black, white and the mailorder exclusive bi-coloured black&white). Pre-order is now available, get your copy here: http://nblast.de/ParadiseLostBIN

PARADISE LOST Launch Lyric Video/New Single ‘So Much Is Lost (Remastered)’

Paradise Lost Band 2017

On March 16th, cult metallers PARADISE LOST will release a remastered version of their legendary seventh studio album, “Host”, and a first-ever pressing of the songs on vinyl.
As a first taste, the Brits have now unveiled a lyric video to their single ‘So Much Is Lost (Remastered)’, which once was the first track to be released off their 1999’s “Host”. This album saw PARADISE LOST moving further away from their previous death metal roots to a melancholic electro-pop sound.

Watch the lyric video here:

Jaime Gomez Arellano, who remastered the album, states: “»Host« is a fantastic album with a stellar production. When I had the opportunity to remaster it, I focused on warming it up through analogue tape and giving it more of that analogue ‘vibe’ since a lot of records from that period were a bit thin sounding in comparison to today‘s standards. The remaster resulted in more depth and bass frequencies and generally a warmer and fuller sound. I hope the fans enjoy it!”

PARADISE LOST singer Nick Holmes adds:
“It was interesting to revisit this stage of the band’s history. It’s certainly not metal thrashing mad, but I’ve always regarded some of our strongest material was written around this period, and I still regard ‘So Much Is Lost’ as a really strong song.”

The album will be available as digipack and in different vinyl colours. You can get your copy here: http://nblast.de/ParadiseLostHostNB
