“‘No Sins To Confess’ rocks without ballads and if I did not know better, I would have thought the album was an unknown gem from 1988!” HARDLINE MAGAZINE

You want it true, heavy and loud? You love the 80s and you would die for pure fuckin’ Heavy Metal? Then LÖANSHARK is your band! You will find everything your metal heart is beating for within their traditional sound, that takes no prisoners!

The Barcelona-based heavy metal trio unleashes their scorching, first full-length studio album No Sins To Confess! Out today via ROARNo Sins To Confess is now available at this location: https://loanshark.rpm.link/nosinspr

Everything about LÖANSHARK is old-school and like a flashback into the early 80s metal scene. “This is what we feel and what we are, so it’s kinda impossible for us to not sound old-school, because it is in our DNA”,bassist Aless recently said. You will find that spirit within their sound, artwork, their logo or their look. 

“For the cover artwork, we wanted that 80’s movie atmosphere, something eye catchy, dangerous, exciting and sexy! So we have choosen a smoky alley as the setting, long and sexy female legs, that hide a lethal weapon behind them, and there we are, about to die at the hands of this hitwoman who already has “another man in the trunk”. We want to maintain that “mafia” atmosphere in our work, we want it to be our identifying seal, in accordance with the name we chose for the band.”

LÖANSHARK;
Lögan Heads – Guitar, Vocals
Aless Oppossed – Bass
Angel Smolski – Drums

LÖANSHARK was founded as a power-trio in 2017, in the heart of Barcelona and is currently taking the scene by storm as an uprising star on the NWOTHM heaven, just alongside Spanish fellow acts such as HITTEN, SAVAGED, WITCHTOWER or IRON CURTAIN. Following their 2018 debut EP “The Warning Session” and two singles – including their Underground hit “Fast, Heavy, Loud’N Proud” – which were all featured on the “The Gangland Tapes” CD in 2021. Now, LÖANSHARK has finally released their long-awaited No Sins To Confess

The album also features re-recorded, early tracks “Machine Gunner” and “Heavy Metal Addicts” as well as a cover version of NWOBHM cult band MARSEILLE and their track “Open Fire”. In the end you will get ten exciting tracks of a young band, that is obviously on fire. 

“I think we managed to sound fresh within the genre”, summarises Aless. “Obviously we play traditional heavy metal and that aura is going to reach you when you hear it, but at the same time we try to ensure that no riff reminds you explicitly of any other song. Another virtue we have is, that we are what you hear on the album. We try not to be pretentious with the production and when you see us live you will get a very similar experience. People are usually surprised by our live sound, created by just three crazy people.

AS THE WORLD DIES – Unleashes “Under A Dying Sky” Video/Single | Nebula Full-Length Nears Release Via Reaper Entertainment

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on February 15, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Under A Dying Sky” is the latest single from British death metal collective, AS THE WORLD DIES. The track comes by way of the band’s upcoming second studio album, Nebula, set for release on March 21st via Reaper Entertainment.

Following the success of their previous single “Dark Oblivion,” “Under A Dying Sky” continues to showcase AS THE WORLD DIES’ signature fusion of heavy, melodic riffs and apocalyptic storytelling. The track is a brutal yet thought-provoking journey, blending relentless death metal aggression with atmospheric synths and progressive elements.

Band leader Scott Fairfax (Memoriam, ex-Massacre) comments, “‘Under A Dying Sky’ is a defining moment for us. It captures the essence of what AS THE WORLD DIES is all about – an intense, cinematic experience wrapped in brutal, crushing death metal. We wanted to push the limits even further, and this track is just a taste of what’s coming with Nebula.”

Watch AS THE WORLD DIES’ video for “Under A Dying Sky” HERE. Stream/purchase the track HERE.

Watch the band’s previously released lyric video for “Dark Oblivion” HERE.

Nebula will be available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. Find preorders at THIS LOCATION.

AS THE WORLD DIES is a relentless force in the UK death metal scene, spearheaded by guitarist and songwriter Scott Fairfax. Known for his work with Memoriam, Massacre, and Benediction, Fairfax brings decades of experience to the table, crafting an unparalleled blend of crushing riffs, symphonic darkness, and cosmic devastation.

Nebula is a gripping journey through the realms of crushing death metal and cosmic mysticism. Fairfax explains, “This album is the quintessence of what AS THE WORLD DIES is all about. We pushed our musical boundaries to create something both brutal and thought-provoking. It’s heavier, darker, and more profound than anything we’ve done before.”

The album dives into themes of apocalyptic prophesies and human insignificance, epitomized by the looming presence of the asteroid Apophis, a key inspiration behind the band’s cosmic death metal sound. Adding a progressive touch with atmospheric ‘80s synths and a haunting industrial edge, Nebula expands the boundaries of the genre while maintaining its relentless death metal core.

Scott Fairfax – lead guitars/keyboards
Darren Mcgillivray – guitars
Chris Mcgrath – drums
Bill Richmond – bass
Jay Price – vocals
