Nitro - Volatile Activity - promo LP

US Traditional Metal veterans NITRO join with Blood and Iron Records/Metal Soldiers Records to issue the legendary “lost” never-released album “VOLATILE ACTIVITY” on VINYL.

2013 was a good year to be a NITRO fan and now the dawning of 2014 sees the Pennsylvania quartet offering an extremely rare full LP.

New and long-term NITRO followers worldwide can now add the fabled, “VOLATILE ACTIVITY” to their NITRO collections thanks to vinyl specialists Blood and Iron/Metal Soldiers Records.

Listen to “VOLATILE ACTIVITY” here: www.soundcloud.com/nitroamerica

With amazingly strong staying power, NITRO formed in 1979, released their famous 10 inch EP “LETHAL” in 1982, quickly signed with legendary Belgian label Mausoleum Records, and released the full length LP “LETHAL + II” in 1983.

Hot on the heels of Skol Records July 2013 CD release of the NITRO anthology “LETHAL DOSE”, “VOLATILE ACTIVITY” comes from Blood and Iron/Metal Soldiers records as an eagerly awaited limited release in black vinyl and blue vinyl.

For more than 26 years, this complete and self-produced album has been tucked away deep in the NITRO vaults. Vinylphiles will be treated to 10 vintage tracks forged in 1987, as well as the new 2013 single “URANIUM” serving as the connective tissue to span the decades between classic and farm-fresh NITRO. “VOLATILE ACTIVITY” includes plenty of exciting extras such as detailed liner notes, lyrics, and never-before-seen NITRO photos from the 80’s of original members Dana Confer, John Hazel, Brad Gensimore, and Tim Wilson.

Order “VOLATILE ACTIVITY” now from Blood and Iron Records at: bloodandironrecords.com/ bloodandironrecords@gmail.com

THE KENNEDY VEIL – Sacramento Death Metal Behemoths Preach Their “Necrotic Gospel”

The Kennedy Veil - The Trinity Of Falsehood - promo album pic - 2013

Sacramento Death Metal behemoths, THE KENNEDY VEIL, today spew forth the teachings of their “Necrotic Gospel.” Hosted by the crypt keepers at Stereokiller, the latest tune comes courtesy of the band’s soon-to-be-released Trinity Of Falsehood full-length.

Produced by Nick Botelho at NB Recording in Santa Rosa, California and featuring the debut of new throat Taylor Wientjes, Trinity Of Falsehood is an unapologetically methodical, fast-paced display of sharp, groin-churning DM brutality. In a 9/10 review of the offering, Dead Rhetoric champions the band’s, “no-frills, modern death metal… heavily rooted in the speed and technicality of Origin and the fury of Decapitated,” further boasting, “THE KENNEDY VEIL has thrown down the death metal gauntlet for years to come.

Trinity Of Falsehood is a scorcher,” Heavy Metal Tribune notes, “The high-speed and furious intensity that the band provides on Trinity of Falsehood easily reminds one of band’s such as Hour of Penance, Psycroptic and Origin, and this especially so with the ease of fusion of technicality, brutality and melody…,” while Metal Temple, in an 8/10 rating, adds, “The thing that… separates THE KENNEDY VEIL from the pack is the fact that there are definite hooks among the relentless displays of technical prowess…”

Elaborates bassist Shawn Patrick Peterson of their latest taste of torment: “‘Necrotic Gospel’ is essentially 250 bpms of stripped-down, unconditional hatred. The lyrical content is based on the manipulation of the masses by a higher power; of being misled. The loyalty in betrayal is preached as a means of an awakening of the senses, and coming to the realization that there is nothing beyond the veil that covers your eyes.”

Melt your innards to the sounds of “Necrotic Gospel,” now playing at Stereokiller at THIS LOCATION.

Additionally, fans can still rape their faces to the sounds of “Enslave.Defile.Erase.,” currently streaming at Revolver HERE. Amazon preview clips of the entire record can be accessed HERE.

Merging influences of classic DM legends like Deicide, Morbid Angel and Suffocation with the more refined aggression of bands like Origin, Psycroptic and Decapitated, THE KENNEDY VEIL features within their ranks Wientjes and Peterson alongside guitarist KC Childers (ex-Forktung) and drummer Gabe Seeber (Alterbeast, Decrepit Birth, ex-Wretched Dawn). Together they invoke their own brand of crushing Death Metal. No throwbacks, no breakdowns, no wanking, no trends. With Unique Leader as the catalyst, humanity is about to be reduced to ashes.

Trinity Of Falsehood will be released worldwide on January 21, 2014 via Unique Leader Records. Preorder your copy today at THIS LOCATION.
