It’s truly rare to come across bands that are blending the traditional sounds in their music and ARALLU, like RUDRA, are one among them. After a long wait, this underrated Israeli band that have been around for almost two decades, announce their new album titled ‘Six’ due for release this September via our international label, Transcending Obscurity Records. Please check out the official teaser below and a brand new song over at the official Bandcamp page AT THIS LINK.
ARALLU from Israel are imbibing their Middle-Eastern influences and channeling the same using the black metal template that they’ve been trying to perfect for over two decades. Not unlike their label mates in RUDRA, they’re forging a unique sound replete with traditional instruments like Saz and Darbuka, and exhibiting a penchant for the thrashy variant of the style. Faster, tighter and more potent than ever before, ‘Six’ bears the insignia of the band’s progress over the years and their culmination in a release that might change their fortunes finally.

Swedish powerhouse Heavy Metal group DREAM EVIL are getting closer to the release of their sixth album, aptly titled “SIX”, coming out next week, more precisely on Friday May 26th, 2017 via Century Media Records. Therefore, the album’s third single, the melodic and epic “Creature Of The Night” is being launched today and can be checked out here:
DREAM EVIL commented about “Creature Of The Night” as follows: “When we chose from all recorded songs the ones to be released on the main album, we summoned a Heavy Metal Jury which ranked the songs. From this ranking the top 12 songs were set for SIX. The song “Creature Of The Night” got the highest ranking from the H.M.J., so it was a no-brainer to have this song as a single.”
DREAM EVIL – “SIX”:
1. Dream Evil
2. Antidote
3. Sin City
4. Creature Of The Night
5. Hellride
6. Six Hundred And 66
7. How To Start A War
8. The Murdered Mind
9. Too Loud
10. 44 Riders
11. Broken Wings
12. We Are Forever
Next to the album’s standard version as CD and Digital Download, “SIX” is also being made available as 180gr. vinyl version with a poster and bonus CD as well as in the limited edition Mediabook CD format with 2 bonus tracks (“Under Attack” and “Nowhere To Run”) and 3 stickers.
Succeeding 2010’s “In The Night” release, “SIX” has been once again produced by DREAM EVIL guitarist Fredrik Nordström at his own Studio Fredman facilities, which is obviously the birth place of many modern Metal masterpieces by bands such as In Flames, Arch Enemy, HammerFall, At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir, Powerwolf or also Architects and Bring Me The Horizon.
The album’s front cover, which can be seen above, has once again been created by Gustavo Sazes / http://www.abstrata.net (Arch Enemy, Amaranthe, Firewind, etc.).
May 26th will also mark the release date for the groundbreaking third DREAM EVIL album “The Book Of Heavy Metal” for the first time ever (!) on vinyl. Considered a modern Heavy Metal classic by many, 2004’s “The Book Of Heavy Metal” will be available on 180gr. black vinyl with the entire album on CD as bonus.

Swedish powerhouse Heavy Metal group DREAM EVIL are getting closer to the release of their sixth album, aptly titled “SIX”, coming out on May 26th, 2017 via Century Media Records.
Therefore, the album’s second single and video for the track “Antidote” are being launched today. Check out the entertaining clip directed by longtime partner in visuals Patric Ullaeus / http://www.revolver.se (In Flames, Lacuna Coil, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy, etc.) here:
DREAM EVIL have checked in with the following comment about “Antidote”: “When it comes to choosing a single for SIX you need to have a song that ‘punches’ the fans in their faces. “Antidote” is just that type of in-your-face-punch-song, so for us the choice was natural. And don’t forget that Metal is not just music, it’s a way of living…as you clearly can see in the video!”
