Thunderwar - The Birth Of Thunder - promo cover pic - 2013

Polish Death Metal titans Thunderwar are proud to announce the digital release of their EP The Birth of Thunder. Previously only available on limited edition CD, the EP can now be ordered for $3 from their Bandcamp page here: https://thunderwar1.bandcamp.com/

Band Bio

Cold as ice, angry as a horde of Viking warriors and determined like an army fighting for freedom of their homeland: THUNDERWAR! The band was born in 2013, when four young Metal maniacs decided to join their forces to not only pay  tribute to such Metal heroes as BATHORY, UNLEASHED, DISSECTION and AMON AMARTH, but to prove that Poland has again something to say to the metal world.

The debut EP “THE BIRTH OF THUNDER” was  mixed and produced by Wieslawscy Bros from HERTZ STUDIO (BEHEMOTH, VADER, DECAPITATED). The band’s logo was designed by Christophe Szpajdel (EMPEROR, MOONSPELL, DESASTER) and the cover artwork of “The Birth of Thunder” EP was done by Mario Lopez.

Currently the band is promoting their self-released EP and in the middle of 2014 will enter the HERTZ STUDIO to work on their first  full album. THUNDERWAR – Better remember this name, as they are here to stay!

Critical Praise:

“This is just awesome death metal filled with great riffs, pounding drums and fat bass lines” – Metalrecusants 

“Taking cues mainly from Vader, Unleashed, and – what’s this? Yes, a little bit of Rust In Peace Megadeth – this Polish four pack bring van Drunen-barking atop femur-slicing, razor-sharp riffage that recalls speed metal with class” – Worm Gear Zine

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

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, news, rock music, rock music news, world news with tags , , , , , on January 12, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

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.”

The Kennedy Veil - Trinity Of Falsehood - promo banner - 2013

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.

CORPSESSED – Full-Length Debut “Abysmal Thresholds” Coming Feburary 4th On Dark Descent Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music, rock music news, world news with tags , , , , , , on January 4, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Corpsessed - Abysmal Thresholds - promo cover pic

Dark Descent Records will unleash hell upon Earth in the form of Abysmal Thresholds, the full-length debut from Finland’s CORPSESSED.

After terrorizing your ear drums with 2011’s The Dagger and the Chalice and 2012’s self-titled 7-inch, CORPSESSED are poised to thoroughly decimate what’s left of your auditory senses. Abysmal Thresholds is over 47 minutes of Death Metal the way you’ve come to expect from this hard-hitting Finnish band. No fluff, no hyperbole…this is destined to be one of the best albums of 2014, without a doubt. Abysmal Thresholds is set for release on February 4th.

Pre-orders are being taken now at: www.darkdescentrecords.com.

Corpsessed was spawned from putrescent slime in 2007. Vocalist Niko Matilainen, guitarist Matti Mäkelä and drummer Jussi-Pekka Manner were joined by guitarist Jyri Lustig and (de)composing of morbid Death Metal tunes began at the rotting houses of Järvenpää delta-area. The group’s original bass player, Mikko Mäkelä, disappeared in unknown circumstances and was replaced later in 2009 by Mikko Pöllä.

Corpsessed’s first EP The Dagger & The Chalice was released on CD by Dark Descent Records (USA) in May 2011. The vinyl version released by Me Saco Un Ojo (UK) in co-operation with Dark Descent (USA) in October 2011. That release was followed up by a two-track, self-titled 7-inch EP in 2012. The band recently completed work on their debut full-length album, Abysmal Thresholds.

TRENCHROT – To Release Debut Album “Necronomic Warfare” On Unspeakable Axe Records

Trenchrot - Necronomic Warfare - promo cover pic - 2014

Death Metal war machine TrenchRot are unleashing their debut Necronomic Warfare upon the world and none will be spared. With influences ranging from other war-themed bands like Asphyx and Bolt Thrower, to the vomitous vocals and epic, soaring lead work of Obituary’s Cause of Death, this is an old school Death Metal album that doesn’t feel self-conscious about being what it is.  It just crushes everything in its path, and leaves the bloodied listener staggering away… and grinning ear to ear.

Members are in other promising new bands, such as Crypt Sermon – whose first demo will see a cassette release from Dark Descent Records soon – and Infiltrator, and promise to soon be well-known names in the underground.

Necronomic Warfare is set for a February 18 release on Unspeakable Axe Records.

Critical Praise:

“Germany’s Slaughterday have the gumption (and instinct) to take T. Gabriel Fischer’s get-up-and-say-Hey! vox, back it with tested-and-true Oakland CA death/doom found in the collection of every serial killer, and inject the mishmash with a Swedish melodic sensibility cultivated from the early ’90s to present.” – Worm Gear ‘Zine

THE KENNEDY VEIL – Sacramento Death Metal Legion To Release “Trinity Of Falsehood” This January

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on November 13, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

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

In 2009, the world bore witness to a whole new brand of brutality. Ascending from the depths of the Northern California Valley, THE KENNEDY VEIL unleashed upon the scene their own fanatical perspective of American Death Metal.

A quartet composed of Casey Childers (ex-Forktung), Gabe Seeber (Alterbeast, Decrepit Birth, ex-Wretched Dawn), Cody Walker (ex-Skribble) and Shawn PetersonTHE KENNEDY VEIL recorded their first album, The Sentence Of Their Conqueror, with engineer Josh Williams at Metal Works Studios and released a compilation of eight visceral tracks which quickly grabbed the attention of the Metal underground. With the release of this album, the band played shows relentlessly with legendary acts such as Cephalic Carnage, Exhumed, Cattle Decapitation, Macabre, Decrepit Birth, Origin, Divine Heresy and Abysmal Dawn.

In 2012, THE KENNEDY VEIL went to work on writing the follow-up to The Sentence Of Their Conqueror and prepared an onslaught of hostile yet dynamic tracks that would come together in the form of Trinity Of Falsehood – a doctrine that will enslave the ears of the lawless and govern the damned into a frenzy of panic. It is an eleven-track offering with an aggressive and unrelenting attitude. The album brings back a familiarity of big choruses and bludgeoning drums, but places its focus on structure.

Notes the band in a collective statement, “We all feel that this album is exactly how we intended it to be and carries a much greater weight and impact which will lead us to be a formidable band in the Death Metal community and we, as THE KENNEDY VEIL, stand firm in the belief that our disciples will enthusiastically devour this new evolution of our sound.”

Trinity Of Falsehood will be released worldwide on January 21, 2014 via Unique Leader Records. Further info including track listing, teasers and live assaults, to be announced in the weeks to come.

WARFATHER – Death Metal Horde Fronted By Ex-Morbid Angel Frontman Steve Tucker, Confirms Debut Full-Length Details

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on November 10, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Warfather - band promo pic - #27 - 2013

After months of secrecy spent in the crypts finalizing the details on their debut recordings, today Death Metal horde, WARFATHER, finally declares their battle plans.

The new full-time project fronted by ex-Morbid Angel bassist/vocalist Steve TuckerWARFATHER was initially announced in mid-2012, but has remained otherwise virtually a mystery until now. As the finishing touches are currently being handled on their debut album, now confirmed to bear the title, Orchestrating The Apocalypse, this band sees Tucker back to fronting a Death Metal outfit after over a decade since his departure from Morbid Angel and over two years since his participation as a vocalist and writer in the well-received Nader Sadek project.

On the impending attack, Tucker states, “I am stoked about WARFATHER and our first album! WARFATHER is more than just a metal band; it is a belief system and a meeting of the minds, the ones that can see what is truly happening in the times we are living in. Orchestrating The Apocalypse is a warning to the eyes that choose to be blind, and a call to arms to the minds that do feel the coming changes. It is pure blackened, apocalyptic Death Metal. Fuck religion, fuck the government! This is their apocalypse. Our time is NOW!”

Warfather - band logo - 2013

Orchestrating The Apocalypse brutalizes in a relentless style that builds on the work laid on the three Tucker-fronted Morbid Angel albums – Formulas Fatal To The Flesh, Gateways To Annihilation and Heretic – resounding with over forty minutes of pure American Death Metal. WARFATHER delivers an intense, debilitating performance that should no doubt please fans of Morbid Angel, Nile, and Behemoth, while also sporadically infusing unique, even bizarre atmospheric elements, elevating the album to a cutting-edge status.

The album was recorded and mixed at Cincinnati-based TME studios by Steve Tucker and mastered by Maor Applebaum at Maor Applebaum Mastering and is now confirmed for release via Greyhaze Records on January 21, 2014 in North America, with a European release date to be announced in the coming weeks.

Be on the lookout for new music from Orchestrating The Apocalypse and more on WARFATHER in the coming days. For now take in the track listing and cover artwork by Ken Coleman below:

Soul Rot from Atlanta Old School Death Metal unit DISFIGUREMENT is out now on Boris Records.

_____________________________________________

Critical Praise:

“Soul Rot is an OSDM monster in a tech death rubber suit. It stomps and slams with the dexterity normally found in a group priding themselves on week-long widdles. Disfigurement though, cares more about flow. They write honest to Dio SONGS, preferring Replayability over their own ability. Visceral Bleeding with a transfusion of early Anata is a fine way to grease your brain if you can’t press play yet.”  – IAN CHAINEY: Trample of the Week

“Area band Difigurement opened the night, a joyful death metal outfit that crushed eardrums by taking notes from old school groups like Vader and Morbid Angel. They gave that good old assault on the senses just like any true death metal band should. Their sound reverberated in the late 80’s style – brutality without repetitiveness. The performance was great as well. No frills, just aggression. I hope to hear these guys again soon, because they left a tremendous impression.”- Brett Neidlinger: Backstage Beat

Slave Zero - band promo pic - 2013 - #377

Slave Zero are back with new EP Disambiguated Visionary. What can we expect from the fifth offering from the Dublin four-piece and follow-up to 2009’s ‘Exempt from all Tolerance’? “Heavy, Unrelenting and Unpredictable”, says vocalist Graeme V. Flynn. Focusing on more progressive and death metal elements than its predecessors, ‘Disambiguated Visionary’ is intended to “provoke thought and question the confines of what we see and perceive as humans alluding to our insignificance as qualified through scientific theories.”

The album which was recorded by the band’s own Ben Wanders at Nebula Studios, Galway features artwork by Paul McCarroll of Unhinged Art. Representing a futuristic humanoid, Graeme furthers, “who’s to say what the world will look like in 1,000 years or 5,000 years? If humankind ever manages to colonise parts of our solar system or beyond, the body will need to adapt to living in those conditions. The figure on the cover could potentially resemble a humanoid from that era. Humankind in our current form is not the peak of our evolutionary climb”.

Supported by a number of launch shows in Ireland the EP ‘Disambiguated Visionary’ will be released this November 10th on Double Standard Productions.

ANNIHILATED – Los Angeles Death Metal Squadron Enter Studio

Los Angeles Death Metallers, ANNIHILATED, are set to enter Trench Studios in Corona, California later this month to record the beast of brutality that will be 13 Steps To Ruination. Set for release via their new label home of Unique Leader Records, 13 Steps To Ruination will be produced by drummer Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn). Drums will be recorded by producer/engineer John Haddad (Abysmal Dawn, Exhumed, Intronaut).

Comments the band: “We think this is our heaviest, and catchiest stuff we’ve written with a very real and intense message. We think people will really dig it.”

ANNIHILATED seek to spread the truth about corporate and legislative corruption. Forged in 2008 by guitarists Eric Matranga and Robert Fimbres following the demise of their former band Excretion, ANNIHILATED crafts maniacal Death Metal hymns focused on promoting rational thought and to question what’s being force-fed to the masses via mass media.

Annihilated - band logo - 2013

In 2012, drummer Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn) joined the group with the same values and ideologies. Helping to further their musical purpose, he added a new dimension of percussive flavor and syncopation to the music. Shortly thereafter, the band recruited ex-Decapitated bassist Martin Rygiel to lay down bass tracks for their EP, Injected. Rygiel’s roaring bass assaults and vast musical knowledge supplemented their already refined brand of relentless aggression.

The self-released Injected EP was recorded and produced at Trench Studios by Fuller, features guest vocals by Charles Elliott (Abysmal Dawn, Bereft), a special guitar solo by Fancesco Artusato (All Shall Perish, Fancesco Artusato Project) and serves as a taste of the sickness to come with six face-liquefying tracks of extreme, uncompromising Death Metal.

13 Steps To Ruination will be unleashed via Unique Leader Records next year. Further details to be announced in the months to come.

ANNIHILATED:

Eric Matranga (ex-Excretion, Grotesque) – guitars/vocals

Martin Rygiel (ex-Decapitated, Vader, Lux Occulta) – bass

Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn) – drums

Robert Fimbres (Banishment) – guitars

With the addition of Doug Bohn (Suffocation – Pierced From Within) on drums alongside second drum beast Dave “War Machine” Culross (Suffocation, Malevolent Creation) and their signature assault of  maniacal riff shifts, subterranean growls and hammering grooves, Feast of Iniquity is a venomous expulsion of true DM supremacy and arguably their most pungent creation since Sermon of Mockery!

SCALPEL – Added To Cambridge, Mass. Date of MORBID ANGEL Tour

Scalpel - sorrow and skin - promo cover pic

“…bludgeoning…like a ten-ton hammer.” – DeadRhetoric.com 

Boston Death Metal force SCALPEL will provide support for MORBID ANGEL on the Cambridge, Mass. date of their 20th Anniversary of Covenant US Tour. The show is set to take place on November 10 at Middle East Downstairs. ABNORMALITY will also be appearing on the bill.

Tickets are available directly through SCALPEL at www.scalpel.bigcartel.com.

SCALPEL’s debut full-length, Sorrow and Skin, is out now via Sevared Records and available on Amazon, iTunes and other digital retailers. Physical copies coming soon.

The band recently teamed up with the folks at DeathMetal.org for the premier of album track The Black Juices. Stream the tune at this location.

Death Metal is a visceral art that is dependent upon the extreme dedication of its loyal fans. SCALPEL has no other purpose than to deliver a version of this art to those same fans whose lives have been claimed by the likes of SUFFOCATION, CARCASS, and DEATH. It is in this vein that SCALPEL constructs its own brutal dirges, devoid of genre restriction and with an eagerness to explore the darker realms of music. The band is rooted firmly in the old school aesthetic, vigilant to revive the gnarly riffage and macabre lyrical content of so many vicious death metal acts. SCALPEL creates its own art to be maddening and precise, to fulfill the connotations of its name.

DEHUMAN – BAND BIO:

DEHUMAN was founded in 2006 by 4 teenage devotees of Florida Death Metal but the definitive line-up was only finalized in 2010 with the arrival of drummer Laye. Since then the band has been making a name for itself through regular concerts and tours alongside well-established groups (Possessed, Master, Macabre, Belphegor, Agathocles, Aborted, Prostitute Disfigurment, Severe Torture, Leng Tch’e,Cattle Decapitation, Blood red Throne, Arkangel,etc..) and especially through the release of their first album “Black Throne of All Creation – out now on LP and CD. This sensational debut album, recorded in Blackout studio (Enthroned, Corpus Christi, Emptiness..) in February and March 2011, pushes back the sonic boundaries and takes no prisoners.

Black Throne of All Creation confirmed DEHUMAN as one of the rising stars of European Death Metal and recalls the golden age of death metal with its musical references to Death, Carcass, Suffocation and many others. Building on the foundations of old school Metal, DEHUMAN creates their own sound and technique in a way which is reminiscent of Decapitated or Origin.
