Act Of Defiance - Allegaeon - North American Tour - promo flyer - 2015 - #MOMSSNSC39395

Colorado’s ALLEGAEON will return to the road next week on a co-headlining run with label mates Act Of Defiance. Set to commence in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 22nd, the band will conquer the stages of over two dozen venues including a stop at the Providence Metal Fest in Providence, Rhode Island, the tour coming to a close on December 5th in Pomona, California.

ALLEGAEON will be touring in support of their Elements Of The Infinite full-length, released last year via Metal Blade Records. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Cephalic Carnage etc.) at Flatline Audio in Colorado, Elements Of The Infinite serves as the band’s most realized and mature release to date; rightfully claiming spots on a medley of year-end lists, including Loudwire.com, MetalSucks.net, and HeavyBlogisHeavy.com.

For the first time ever, ALLEGAEON cracked the Billboard Charts and Canadian Charts with the record earning the #25 spot on the Billboard Hard Music Chart, #31 on the Canadian Hard Rock Charts and #141 on the Canadian Digital Music Charts. On the day of release in Canada, the album was #1 on iTunes Metal Chart, #6 on the iTunes Rock Chart and #38 on the iTunes Top 200 Current Album Chart. In the US, the album peaked at #3 on the iTunes Metal Chart.

Elements Of The Infinite can be ordered now at http://www.metalblade.com/allegaeon, where the band’s previous videos for “1.618,” “Our Cosmic Casket,” and “Dyson Sphere” are also streaming.

On This Day In METAL History – October 16th… From DEEP PURPLE To IRON MAIDEN

Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers - promo album cover pic - 1984 - #MONSSMM33033

On October 16th, 1984 – The great DEEP PURPLE released their eleventh studio album: Perfect Strangers. I love this album so much! Honestly, I recommend this album to every music loving human being on planet Earth. I remember getting my first copy of Perfect Strangers on cassette! I bought it back in ’84 at Strawberries Records & Tapes in Avon, Connecticut. Whoa!

Perfect Strangers featured the super legendary “Mark II” lineup of: guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, vocalist Ian Gillan, Jon Lord on keys & organ, Ian Paice on drums and Roger Glover on bass. My favorite songs on Perfect Strangers are: Knocking At Your Back Door, Perfect Strangers, Wasted Sunsets and Hungry Daze.

Kiss - Asylum - promo album cover pic - 1985 - #090306MNSS4E

On October 16th, 1985KISS released their thirteenth studio album: Asylum. This is not one of my favorite KISS albums, yet King Of The Mountain and Any Way You Slice It are very cool songs. Tears Are Falling kinda gets on my Metal nerves, after all these years. The album cover is cheesy too. Hell, the late & great Eric Carr has the bottom of his face cut-off on this Asylum album cover. WTF? That’s blasphemy!

Ever since I was first introduced to IRON MAIDEN, (so many terrific years ago), I could not fathom life without them. Metal be thy name!

On October 16th, 2015 – The newly released studio album from STRYPER is now ranked at #1, on the iTunes Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums Chart. Holy cow!

ALL HELL ‘The Red Sect’ – Out Now On Horror Pain Gore Death Productions

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on October 16, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

All Hell - The Red Sect - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #66099MO33S

The Red Sect, the new album North Carolina Blackened Thrashers ALL HELL, is out today on Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. Purchase and/or stream the album at:

hpgd.bandcamp.com/album/the-red-sect.

CD orders: www.horrorpaingoredeath.com/store/hpgd117.html

The Red Sect marks a crossroads for the band; the straightforward aggression of their debut blends with a seething, menacing atmosphere-further enhanced by the mixing and mastering skills of TOXIC HOLOCAUST main man Joel Grind, creating an album that is dark, vicious, and compelling. The record’s ten tracks weave a frightful narrative of ritual possession, vengeance, and revolt. The band has further explored and defined their sound, once again drawing influences from a wide array of genres such as Thrash, Black Metal, Deathrock, and Punk.

All Hell - classic band logo - 2015 - #MO66033033

Praise for The Red Sect:

“The Red Sect is sure to be on the shortlist for the best underground metal of the year.” – Gear Gods

“A thoroughly electrifying romp, a ripping rampage of thrashing riffs, punk rhythms, and mad-dog snarls. Hooky as hell and as nasty as a famished wolverine.” – No Clean Singing

“A fiesta of satanic proportions where demons, whores and cocaine are abundant.” – Dark Souls United

“A holocaustic punk hybrid of black metal and rock n’ roll, influenced by Motörhead, Thrash Metal tunes and rabid attitude.” – Zombie Ritual Fanzine

ALL HELL:

Jacob Curwen – Guitar and Vocals

Kurt Henderson – Drums

Erik Ballantyne – Bass Guitar

Formed in Asheville, North Carolina in 2013, blackened thrash fiends ALL HELL began carving a name for themselves through their early performances and released their debut record, The Devil’s Work, in 2014. Since their 2014 debut release, ALL HELL have been busy sowing chaos through live performances while crafting their sophomore record.

Playing and touring throughout the Southeast, the band has quickly developed a following and earned a reputation as one of the most intense and lethal live acts in the region, having shared the stage with bands like 1349, Black Tusk, Ghoul, Skeletonwitch, and Toxic Holocaust. With their relentless drive, growing support, and two albums under their belt, ALL HELL pushes forward, intent on spreading their hellish music and intense live experience to as many people as possible ALL HELL is currently booking dates for Winter and Spring tours in support of The Red Sect.
