On vinyl for the first time, Katatonia’s classic 1997 EP Sounds of Decay was recorded at Stockhom’s Sunlight Studios and featured Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt on vocals.

Sounds of Decay was seen as a perfect companion piece to the band’s sublime 1996 breakthrough album, Brave Murder Day (a masterpiece of hypnotic, melodic Doom Metal melancholy).

The EP is presented on 10″ 100gm vinyl, includes the bonus track Untrue, and new liner notes from guitarist/founder member Anders Nystrom.

The dark progressive/power metal project EPYSODE returns with its sophomore album Fantasmagoria on October 11th.

The successor to “Obsessions” (2011) was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen studio in Denmark (Volbeat, Pretty Maids, Amaranthe a.m.m.)

Beside band leader Samuel Arkan, the following vocalists and musicians contributed to “Fantasmagoria”:

Tom S. Englund (Evergrey)

Henning Basse (Melium, Uli Jon Roth)

Ida Haukland (Triosphere)

Matt Marinelli (Borealis)

Tezzi Persson (Between The Silence)

Mike LePond (Symphony X)

Léo Margarit (Pain Of Salvation)

Julien Spreutels (Ethernity)

Simone Mularoni (DGM)

The quite unusual thing is that all these guests came to the Noise Factory studio (Belgium) to track down their parts. Nobody recorded his/her parts at home, like with some many other projects.

“I wanted the whole thing to get a real “band” feeling”, Arkan says. “Therefore having all vocalists and musicians here was very important to me. We got to know each other better and better while spending time together. The new material sounds very fresh, dark, heavy, modern and “true” with “straight in the face” guitar riffs, intense voices and melodies, massive work on progressive atmospheres and orchestral parts. All the artists who participated in this album gave their soul to it, gave their best, they travelled deeper into sensitivity and sincerity. That’s probably the best words which define “Fantasmagoria”… sincerity & spontaneity ! This album comes from the heart of each musician and vocalist who worked on it, and you can feel it when you listen to this new EPYSODE album.”

Italian grind brutalists EXHUMER will release their second full-length album, Degraded by Sepsis, on October 15th via Comatose Music.

Ruthless and calculating, Degraded by Sepsis marks the first recorded output from one of Italy’s sickest Death Metal exports since their 2008 full-length debut, Bloodcurdling Tool of Digestion. This new release displays rabid skills of technical brutality, inhuman speed and supreme aggression while leaving a trail of blood-soaked anguish in the unavoidable aftermath. Artwork by Zig.

Check out the album teaser now!
