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.

____________________________

THUNDERWAR 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 once again has something to say to the Metal world.

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

GHOUL – New Carol Of Chaos From Forthcoming Split With Cannabis Corpse Is Gouging Ears At Loudwire

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

Cannabis Corpse - Ghoul - split promo cover - december 2013

Hooded Hellions To Take Denver Black Sky This Weekend

Today, the gatekeepers at the Loudwire lair offer up a new carol from the hooded thrash phantoms in GHOUL. The demandingly titled “Spill Your Guts” comes by way of the band’s forthcoming split with weedian death metal ogres, Cannabis Corpse: Splatterhash. An unrepentant exercise in fast fuckall crushingness, Splatterhash boasts four tracks of audio mayhem. For their portion, GHOUL returned to Earhammer Studios in Oakland, California where they recorded both Transmission Zero and Splatterthrash.

Says vocalist/guitarist Digestor from his Creepsylvanian penthouse, “Numbskulls and future Numbskulls! Once again, GHOUL returns to help you rot your eardrums, soil your pantaloons, and disappoint your parents. This time we brought our pals in Cannabis Corpse, though we regretfully had to murder them after hearing how good their side of the split is. We’d like to take this time to apologize to their fans, friends, and families. Such a waste…”

“Spill Your Guts” is now playing at Loudwire. Get sloppy at THIS LOCATION.

The cloaked deviants in GHOUL – Cremator, Fermentor, Digestor, and Dissector – are mutants from Creepsylvania specializing in the refined execution of bone-snapping splatterthrash, grave robbing, flesh consumption, barn burnings and general night time debauchery. This Saturday, GHOUL will emerge from their den of iniquity to co-headline the first annual Black Sky gala. Founded by Skinless’ Sherwood Webber, Denver Black Sky will be held at The Gothic Theatre in Denver and features an absurdly sick lineup of: Dying Fetus, Exhumed, Speedwolf, Power Trip, Mammoth Grinder, Call Of The Void, Reproacher, Weekend Nachos, Iron Reagan, Axeslasher, Primitive Man, Vimana, Of Feather And Bone, Native Daughters, Black Sleep Of Kali, Dead Temple and Flight Of Sleipnir. Bring a tarp.

GHOUL Live Actions: 

12/14/2013 Denver Black Sky @ The Gothic Theatre – Denver, CO [tickets]

The Splatterhash 12″ split will be made available via Tankcrimes on January 7, 2014 and comes available on wax, CD and digitally. Preorders and more can be obtained HERE.

“This is what extreme music should be and by drowning the listener in a world of devastating energy, Tyrants Blood proves their prowess within this crowded field.”- Violent Resonance

“Into the Kingdom of Graves is what death metal is about ladies and gentlemen (probably mostly gentlemen) and THIS is a band who are bringing it to a whole new level.”- Two Guys Metal Reviews

SOREPTION – Swedish Death Metal Horde To Unleash “Engineering The Void” – Release Date Plus Track Listing Revealed

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on December 2, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Soreption - Engineering The Void - promo cover pic - 2013

SundsvallSweden-based Technical Death Metal horde, SOREPTION, is pleased to announce February 18, 2014 as the official worldwide release date of their forthcoming new full-length, Engineering The Void. 

Featuring eight tracks of audio wreckage, Engineering The Void was recorded by brothers Tommy and Chris Rehn from symphonic black metal collective Angtoria at Ninetone Studios and delivers a spine-shattering ambush of surgically precise riff sequences, manic time shifts, rhythmic grooves and menacing vocals surges. Said MetalSucks of the Engineering The Void trailer video alone: “The new SOREPTION album is going to rip faces. I mean hot damn! Those riffs! The Swedes in SOREPTION are up there with Obscura, Gorod and Psycroptic at the upper echelon of the crowded tech-death pack, no doubt. Can’t wait to headbang furiously to this one the minute it comes out!”

Engineering The Void Track Listing:

1. Reveal The Unseen

2. The Nature Of Blight

3. Breaking The Great Narcissist

4. A Speech To Survival

5. Utopia

6. Monumental Burden

7. I Am You

8. Engineering The Void

Soreption - promo band pic - #1 - 2013

Engineering The Void serves as the follow-up to SOREPTION’s debut full-length, Deterioration Of Minds, an underground gem which was fittingly applauded by Underrated Reviews for its “superior sense of rhythm and razor-sharp precision that will appeal to fans of bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Dying Fetus and The Faceless.” Added Global Domination, “The tech-death phenomenon leaves no room for error or soul. It’s all about technical riffs and arrangements, not to mention the quantized-to-hell drums and cleaned up stops and gos. But if you are into this genre, it’s hardly because you want to hear soulful playing or actual human groove; no – you expect precision and impressive musicianship. And that is exactly what you get with SOREPTION.”

SOREPTION will unleash Engineering The Void to the masses this February followed by a reissue of Deterioration Of Minds, both via Unique Leader Records. Preorder links and video clips to be unveiled in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Comatose Music has announced the February 4 release of Violence and the Macabre from Philippine Brutal Death Metallers DOWN FROM THE WOUND.

The results see the band return with 50 minutes of flesh-shredding Southeast-Asian brutality with old-school atmosphere and organic production.

An early preview, in the form of album track “Schematic Fraud,” is now available for streaming at www.comatosemusic.com/site.

BONES – To Release “Sons Of Sleaze” On November 18th, Via Planet Metal

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on November 15, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Bones - Sons Of Sleaze - promo cover pic - 2013

BONES – Chicago’s filthiest trio marches out of the sewers of hell with twelve freshly severed slabs of Death Metal sleaze! BONES is back with Sons of Sleaze, the follow-up to their 2011 self-titled release. Recorded with famed producer Sanford Parker (Lair of the Minotaur,Nachtmystium), Sons of Sleaze will be out November 18th on Planet Metal.

Check out album track “Maggots” below:

Sons of Sleaze delivers its unfair share of nasty surprises, incorporating violent blasts and low-tuned slime with a dirty rock-and-roll backbone that has never been more apparent, especially when it comes to Jon Necromancer’s undead belch!  The impossibly heavy combination of Necromancer’s bass and Carcass Chris’s muscular guitar riffs is once again captured in all its devastating glory, and drummer Joe Warlord’s huge vocabulary of patterns and fills keeps the energy level in the red for the entire 37-minute beating that is Sons of Sleaze.

Held together by a cover that could only be called “a new low” for artist Putrid, this album is highly recommended for the rotten-hearted, ill-natured, and furious!

___________________________

Praise for Bones’ self-titled debut (2011):

“..to me this is without any doubts one the coolest releases in the Crust / Death / Thrash genre for quite a long time!” Voices From the Darkside

“..frenzied, ragged death metal dripping with the filth and swagger of punk — no quantized typewriter drums or guitars compressed into bland, congested slabs.” Chicago Reader

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

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

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.

Chicago Death/Doom deviants, COKEGOAT, are pleased to spew forth their debut full-length, Vessel.

REPTILIAN DEATH “The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence” = Imperative Death Metal!

Reptilian Death - The Dawn Of Consumation And Emergence - promo cover

5 Out Of 5 METAL Fists!

Metalfistredbckgrndsmall5

REPTILIAN DEATHThe Demonstealer (drums, guitars & bass) is the Metal mastermind behind the sheer evil that lurks within the Death Metal attack of REPTILIAN DEATH, while fronted by the sinister Vinay Venkatesh. Honestly, The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence came upon me this year like an unexpected high from the Metal Gods of Center Earth! I had no idea about the existence of such a dark and venomous Death Metal advocate, such as Demonstealer. Now I do know and I’m a better night dweller for it.

If you think the album cover art screams bloody-cruel Death Metal nightmares from Hell… wait till you listen to this album! Yes, this is a substantial case where one can judge an album by its cover for the better. REPTILIAN DEATH have created one of the best Death Metal albums I’ve had the privilege to listen to during 2013; while standing up to being one of the best Death Metal albums I’ve ever heard. Sometimes the best Metal surprises of 2013 come in the most dark and wicked of packages.

Make NO Metal mistake, REPTILIAN DEATH are not taking any prisoners with their Death Metal. This amazing Death Metal band from Mumbai (also known as Bombay) India, justifiably has my Metal endorsement and I’m not letting go! Relentless, furious, (of course, evil) and brain stinging Death Metal is all I hear on The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence. The quality of musicianship, horrifying and mean-spirited vocals, combined with a trueness to the genre, are the deadly attributes I hear on this album. No over-production and no rats-ass filler; just straight-up Death Metal the way I cherish it, both musically and lyrically. Metal be thy name.
