K-OS “Planeta Violento” – New Metal Release Is Out Now! Stone’s Metal Pick Of The Day!

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal with tags , , , , , , on June 11, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

K-OS is a Spanish Metal band that caught my Metal attention this past weekend. K-OS is from Salamanca, Spain. Planeta Violento is their new studio album and it was released on April 16th, 2012.

Planeta Violento is sung in Spanish and the Metal is very, very good. Very good. Vocalist Carlos Plaza “Dyox” has a strong delivery and projects that Metal attitude which makes the songs sound even more potent. Planeta Violento embodies great production and this band plays tight. I really dig what I’ve heard (and still listening to) from K-OS and their Metal does kick some ass aplenty.

Thrash Metal and any Metal fan who appreciates quality songs and musicianship should give K-OS a listen. This album is riff infested and will give you every opportunity to bang thy head. Air drumming to Planeta Violento is fully endorsed by Stone! (Yes, my air drumming is out-of-control while listening to Planeta Violento). Metal be thy name.

I’ve seen for myself, that you can purchase the digital album on Amazon.com and iTunes. You’ll be able to sample the songs on Planeta Violento at either of these 2 sites.

K-OS:

 Carlos Plaza “Dyox” – Voces

Gorka RC – Guitarras

Miguel Angel “Koko” – bateria y percusión

Jorge Chamorro “Hippy” – Bajo

XANTHOCHROID – Releases Two Teaser Videos From Forthcoming Debut Full Length Album!

Posted in Black Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on June 11, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Lake Forest, California-based Epic Legendary Black Metal outfit Xanthochroid have released two teaser videos, allowing fans a glimpse inside the creation and sound of their forthcoming debut full-length album titled “Blessed He With Boils.”

Said Xanthochroid frontman Sam Meador, “Xanthochroid is an Epic Black Metal band that strives to produce the most sophisticated and enthralling compositions in the metal scene today. Taking influence from bands like Emperor, Opeth, Moonsorrow, Wintersun, and many others, Xanthochroid combines many styles into a blackened cloud of legendary metal might. Not for the casual listener, but for the true metal connoisseur who demands more depth, more detail, and more musicality than what is out there today. Xanthochroid‘s music demands repeat listening and a discerning ear, and we can’t wait to release our first full-length masterpiece! I hope this will increase everyone’s appetites for some good Metal by the end of 2012!”

Their 5-track EP, “Incultus,” is also available for free download at xanthochroid.bandcamp.com. The official track-listing for “Blessed He With Boils” is as follows:

1. Introduction

2. Blessed He With Boils

3. Winter’s End

4. Long Live Our Lifeless King

5. Deus Absconditus

6. A Leper’s Prospect

7. In Puris Stagnum

8. Rebirth of an Old Nation

9. **SURPRISE TRACK**

ZOMBIEFICATION “Reaper’s Consecration” – An Ominous and Brutal Death Metal EP

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on June 11, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

ZOMBIEFICATION – Death Metal reigns in Mexico and Zombiefication are a legitimate reason as to why. Reaper’s Consecration releases August 14th, 2012, via Pulverised Records and it’s a crushing blow of intense Death Metal to the cranium. Showcasing five deathly songs of cataclysmic quality, Zombiefication has unleashed a must own EP for all Death Metal fans worldwide. Reaper’s Consecration is that seriously good.

Bludgeoning drums and bass, with tenacious guitars, produces a foundation of fury for Mr. Hitchcock’s extreme vocals to tower upon. Guttural and maniacal, the vocals of Mr. Hitchcock are a relishing listen for me. The all-encompassing spooked-out vibe from Zombiefication’s sound, coupled with the eerie nature of the lyrics only solidifies the total impact that Reaper’s Consecration has had on me. Admittedly, I can never get enough of kick-ass Death Metal!

I wish Reaper’s Consecration was not an EP and had 12 songs! All five songs are so ruthless and mighty; making for a convincing display of Death Metal command. Solid production from top to bottom and this EP still maintains a genuine underground feel. It’s my firm Metal belief, that Zombiefication can take a Metal bow for their proficient display of Death Metal thunder. This is meritorious Death Metal that they’ve created with Reaper’s Consecration. Metal be thy name.
