TERRIFIER – Ink Deal With Listenable Records

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on July 7, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

We, at Listenable records are huge thrash metal fans,  and we are extremely delighted to welcome Canada’s TERRIFIER to our roster!

TERRIFIER is a thrash metal band based in Vancouver, Canada. With strong 80s thrash/speed metal influences and an extra edge of brutality and precision, they have made their name known in recent years in the “new wave of old school thrash metal” scene and continue to bring a relentless onslaught of blistering metal to legions of fans across the world.

Although the band originally started in 2003 under the name of SKULL HAMMER, their first TERRIFIER release, a three song EP entitled Metal or Death in 2012 really gave birth to their sound. In 2017, they started gaining international recognition with the release of their first full length album Weapons of thrash destruction, showcasing impressive technicality and songwriting abilities proving they stand out amongst the crowd.

They continued crushing everything in their path whith their 2023 release Trample the Weak, Devour the Dead, coming out with a heavier yet more redefined sound showing they’re more than just another overdone throwback 80s thrash metal band.

Now with their sights set on international touring and a new record in process, TERRIFIER is determined to bring their pummeling brand of thrash to your doorstep and continue pushing the boundaries to keep you begging for more.

TERRIFIER are working on their brand new album to be issued on Listenable in 2026.

DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG – Release Emotional New Single “Strangers In Paradise” | Babylon Pre-Order Begins Today

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on July 7, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

After setting the tone with “It Takes Two To Tango”, “Time To Listen” and “Hellbreaker”, DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG (DATOG) unveil their most heartfelt release yet: “Strangers In Paradise”.

“Strangers In Paradise” is a true goosebump-inducing rock ballad that gets under your skin, an extraordinary song in every respect. Manuela’s soulful voice opens the track as she accompanies her own vocals on piano, with a haunting beauty, before Peter joins in with a longing and emotional vocal delivery. The song then rises into a powerful chorus where Udo sings more clearly, deeply, and emphatically than ever before, a true vocal highlight for all fans. 

Mathias’ virtuoso guitar solo in flamenco style adds a stunning twist before leading into the grand finale, complete with the signature DATOG harmonic choruses. “Strangers In Paradise” is not only a standout track on the upcoming album Babylon, but is also a love letter to life’s journey itself. Even in moments of doubt about the future, it reminds us that being alive is a miracle and is worth every struggle.
