Sweden’s Melodic Death Metallers THIS ENDING, formerly known as A CANOROUS QUINTET, have released a new lyric video for ‘Annihilate’, the first track from their new album ‘Needles Of Rust’, coming May 28th.
The band issued the following on ‘Annihilate’: This was the first song Linus Nirbrant wrote after the garden of death album. Another vicious thrashy song to bang your head to.The lyrics deal with the topic of neglect and how we as humans sometimes destroy what’s around us like we were some kind of gods. But also how we turn our blind eye to what’s happening to the world and to people around us.
2021 sees THIS ENDING returning with a true melodic death metal masterpiece called “Needles of Rust”. Nine songs of Apocalyptic, Brutal yet Catchy melodic death metal back to the roots of what was done earlier in A CANOROUS QUINTET. “Needles of rust” was recorded, mixed and mastered at Wing Studios by Sverker Widgren, To give the album cover the necessary atmosphere Björn Gooßes of Killustrations was hired once again (as on the previous album “Garden of Death”) to take care of the artwork and layout. Overall the lyrical themes for the Needles of rust album deal with different kind of nightmare scenarios. Some lyrics are loosely based on real events and things that has happened over the world. Some are just about nightmares as an overall phenomenon. All lyrics are up for personal interpretation, I just try to give a glimpse of what went through my head when I wrote them.
Black Lion Records is pleased to welcome two new acts to its roster family: Swedish Melodic Death metallers THIS ENDING & Armenian Pagan folk Black Metallers ILDARUNI.
THIS ENDING was formed in 2005, from the ashes of A CANOROUS QUINTET. (A CANOROUS QUINTET, was formed in 1991 by Fredrik Andersson, Mårten Hansen and Linus Nirbrant). A CANOROUS QUINTET released one EP (As Tears) and two fullength albums (Silence of the world beyond and The only pure hate). A CANOROUS QUINTET was split up during 1998 for different reasons.)
In 2005 the time was right to do something together again and thus This Ending was formed. The reason for the name change was that This Ending wanted to be able to write music freely without expectations on how the music ”should” sound. During 2005 the demo ”Let the world burn” was recorded. This demo paved the way for releasing the first two albums (Inside the machine, Dead Harvest) on Metal Blade records. A few years passed and during this time long time bass player Jesper Löfgren left the band. In 2012 the EP ”Systematic worship” was recorded.
After the release of ”Systematic worship” Linus Pettersson joined This Ending to replace Jesper on bass. Incidently Linus Pettersson also had been a member of A Canorous guintet in the early days of the band. Gaining a new member and an old friend was great. But nothing good comes without something bad it seemed since long time band member and guitar player Leo Pignon decided to leave the band. After this alot of hard work was put in to make the best possible album and it was finally time in 2015 to once again enter the studio to record This Endings third album ”Garden of Death”.
This album was released through Apostasy records. ”Garden of Death” got great reviews and This Ending felt the need for a new second guitar player to be able to promote the album. Peter Nagy was contacted and had no hesitation to join This Ending. Several shows were made after this and a european tour to promote the album was done in 2017 together with Ablaze my sorrow and Bleeding Utopia. This Ending has kept on working on new songs and when the new album almost was complete drummer Fredrik Andersson decided to leave the band. This left This Ending in a situation that had to be resolved quickly. Luckily This Ending already had a solution within the band. Guitarist Peter Nagy is a skilled musician and have also played drums for many years. He has been the drummer on all Mörk Gryning albums except one. Peter was quick to accept the challenge and This Ending is excited to hear the result when they enter the studio in October 2020.
ILDARUNI came to existence in 2016, emerging as a raging force from the depths of the Armenian underground metal scene. Solidifying a permanent line-up, the band was fully focused on more live performances and started recording the first demo, ”Towards Subterranean Realms” which came to light on July, 2018 and met significant acclaim.
Musically, Ildaruni represents a blend of relentless, intense Black Metal and ancient folk melodies, forgotten from times immemorial. The lyrical themes explore the height of the Urartian domain, through the cognitive machinations of a bygone age and the esoteric apprehension of ancient pagan occultism. The ominous flame now burns stronger and the band is set to unleash its long-waited cryptic incantations.
Band’s comment: “We are very excited to announce our new collaboration with Swedish Black Lion Records for the release of our forthcoming album. A new chapter has begun for Ildaruni. We are looking forward to seeing the darkest seeds of our manifestation realized! More information is yet to be revealed!”
THIS ENDING, the Swedish death metal band featuring AMON AMARTH drummer Fredrik Andersson, has completed work on a new three-song EP titled “Systematic Worship”. The effort was recorded during late 2011 at guitarist Linus Nirbrant‘s studio Audiohammer, which the band calls “an environment where we are used to rehearse, so it’s been the most natural and organic recording for us. This has allowed us to not only deliver more of the same THIS ENDING that our fans have come to appreciate, but also experiment with some new stuff that we hope you’ll enjoy as well.”
