Five years removed from their acclaimed debut album, the maniacs of Grave Ritual have re-emerged from the crypt with Morbid Throne. The band’s newest burnt offering delivers nine tracks of blasphemous, old-school Death Metal in the vein of Incantation, Death and Autopsy. Dark Descent Records will release Morbid Throne October 30 on CD, LP and digital formats. Cover art for the album was done by Daniel Desecrator.

Formed from the ashes of Alabama bred duo Meathole Infection in 2009, Grave Ritual’s sole purpose is to create dark and primitive Death Metal. The band’s self-titled demo was released in 2009. A year later, Dark Descent Records released Grave Ritual’s first full-length album, Euphoric Hymns from the Altar of Death. Since the release of their debut album, Grave Ritual has focused on perfecting their devastating live assaults, sharing the stage with such bands as Proclamation, Revenge, Black Witchery, and Inquisition. They have played Rites of Darkness II and III, as well as several appearances at Destroying Texas Fest. The band is now stationed in New Orleans. Grave Ritual’s highly anticipated second full-length album, Morbid Throne, is set for release in late 2015 on Dark Descent records.

The sixth studio full-length from French Dark Extreme Metallers OTARGOS, titled Xeno Kaos, will be released on November 13th via Kaotoxin Records, with preorders starting on October 12th at www.kaotoxin.com/shop.

Completing their stylistic shift towards a unique kind of Dark Extreme Metal started with their previous full-length, Apex Terror, OTARGOS are back stronger than ever with a brand new approach, as dark as before only more intense, heavier, still as fast and catchy with more diversity thrown in through background industrial noise and samples, including a wider spectrum of extreme arts which includes Black Metal, Death Metal, Dark Metal and more… a very personal approach of darkness somewhere between BEHEMOTH, SEPTICFLESH and THE AMENTA.

The first teaser for Xeno Kaos has been posted at this location or below:

Xeno Kaos – Track Listing:
1. Dominatrix
2. The Ruinous Powers
3. Chariots ov the Godz
4. Dark Mechanicus
5. Phase Shifters
6. Xeno Kaos
7. Realm of the Dead
8. Human Terminate
9. Infernal Legions Strike A.E. *

Recorded at various locations including GOROD’s Mathieu Pascal’s Bud Studio (AD PATRES) and mixed and mastered at THE ORDER OF APOLLYON’s Herr Krauss’ Vamacara Studio (AZZIARD, ANTROPOFAGO), Xeno Kaos will be released as a 1000 copies limited edition deluxe DigiSleeve CD, including 100 copies as a collector, hand-numbered and autographed, boxset version featuring the DigiSleeve CD, alternative artwork, exclusive sticker, exclusive picture, exclusive patch and exclusive guitar pick and, of course, Digital, along with a new line of merchandising including t-shirts, tank tops and sweat shirts. Alongside CD and Digital preorders, a crowdfunding campaign will be launched for 12″ LP and cassette tape versions.

OTARGOS will also be touring Europe with label-mates THE NEGATION and SIDIOUS from October 26th to 31st. The “Xeno Kaos Tour” will be split in two parts. The first leg will see OTARGOS invade the UK with THE NEGATION and SIDIOUS. The second will take the band across Europe with THE NEGATION. OTARGOS will also co-headline the second KaotoxinFest alongside CinC (ex-CARNIVAL IN COAL) on December 5th – 6th in Lille, France.

The first single from Xeno Kaos, “Dominatrix,” is featured on the covermount CD available with the latest issue of METALLIAN Magazine (France) and is also available on the brand new Weapons of Self-Destruction, Volume 2 label sampler which is shipping for free with Kaotoxin Shop orders.
