Dehuman Reign - Destructive Intent - promo cover pic

DEHUMAN REIGN – Releasing on July 26th, 2013, via FDA Rekotz is the menacing debut album, Destructive Intent, from Berlin’s Death Metal squad: Dehuman Reign. With (about) 20 minutes of face-melting Death Metal to be devoured on Destructive Intent, the keep it short, fast and deadly approach in which Dehuman Reign ventures into is not a bad idea at all. The shortened album approach in Metal has succeeded in the past, with Slayer’s Reign In Blood being the untouchable template for generations of bands and fans to savor.

Here we have Dehuman Reign and not Slayer, so the comparisons can stop with lengths of albums. With that said, Dehuman Reign rages along with a Gore Metal meets Death Metal sound; a blanket of sound that’s terrifying enough to put some of your worst nightmares to their knees. Morbid vocals and extreme speed musically, the two marry into each other with a perfection that only we Death and Gore Metal fans can wholly appreciate.

With killer album art and equally killer songs, what more can any savvy Death/Gore/Extreme Metal fan want? I’ll tell you this much, with this album playing and the lights turned off, Dehuman Reign easily can scare the shit out of me; especially the evil provoking spoken word tracks of: Invocation I Black Seed and Invocation II Scorched Earth. Whatever the deadly case may be, the melancholic vibes and darkness that lurks behind these spoken words are what keeps me up late at night and I’ll never learn my lesson; cause this is the underground Metal I crave for. Metal be thy name.

KALMAH: Full Album “Seventh Swamphony” Streaming At Revolvermag.com

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on June 14, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

61PHH94tdUL._SY300_

Celebrate your Friday with a hearty dose of Seventh Swamphonythe impending new full-length from Finnish Death Metal instigators, KALMAH, currently streaming in its entirety via Revolver Magazine.

Recorded at Tico-Tico Studios in Kemi, Finland, the follow-up to 2010’s critically acclaimed 12 Gauge release was mixed and mastered at Sweden’s Fascination Street Studios by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Soilwork, Paradise Lost, et al) and showcases the Oulu outfit’s signature brand of frantic, yet melodic death metal tempered here by a new-found epic mournfulness.

Reaping critical accolades both domestically and abroad, Metal Reviews crowned KALMAH’s Seventh Swamphony “Album Of The Year,” calling the band “one of, if not the finest, melodic death metal bands.” Said Metal Temple is an 8/10 review: “From their blistering opener of Seventh Swamphony, to the windmill inducing finale The Trapper, this album keeps the energy flowing nonstop. Pekka Kokko’s vocal work is solid with vicious growls and soul squirming screams that give an unearthly feel to the album.”

Adds New Noise Magazine: “Seventh Swamphony features quality over quantity and you will be aware of that on the first listen. Never have I heard the band so supercharged and ready to slaughter as they are featured here. Even the slower paced ‘Windlake Tale’ correctly utilizes a death growl vocal approach to its melodic folk and works well as a blueprint to show Amorphis what they’ve been doing wrong all of these years. Quite simply put, Seventh Swamphony might very well be one of the heaviest folk metal albums that I’ve heard in years and should go down in the band’s history as one of their most memorable releases.”

Seventh Swamphony will be released in North America via Spinefarm Records digitally onJune 18, 2013 and on CD June 25, 2013. For preorders, point your browser HERE. Additionally, if you missed it, check out the band’s “Seventh Swamphony” video courtesy of Metal Injection HERE.

Otargos - Apex Terror - Promo Album Banner - 2013

French Blackened Death Metal mongers OTARGOS have inked a worldwide deal with Listenable Records for the release of the band’s recently completed new album, Apex Terror.

Apex Terror displays a fresher, stripped down and more intense style of songwriting that draws from the catchier end of Death Metal and obscure Thrash. Lyrically, the album is an exploration of the darker side of humanity. Apex Terror will be out in North America in the fall of 2013.

Live footage of the brand new song For Terra, which features BENIGHTED’s Julien Truchan on guest vocals and will appear on Apex Terror, has been posted HERE.

DISPARAGED – Swiss Death Metal Warriors Signs With Apostasy Records

Disparaged - group promo pic - band and label logo

Apostasy Records and Swiss Death Metal act DISPARAGED have recently entered into an unholy alliance that will see the band release their upcoming fourth album on the label.

DISPARAGED exists to dispel any existing stereotypes regarding the laid-back nature of the Swiss. The quartet rounds off dynamic drums and harsh brutality with downright virtuous melodies within the solos. Their compositions are similarly conclusive and thrilling. DISPARAGED was formed in 1999 and since released a trio of well-received albums – Overlust, Blood Source and The Wrath Of God. Their most recent release featured the mixing and mastering skills of Jacob Hansen (Aborted, Destruction, Pestilence).

DISPARAGED commented: “We are very proud to have found in Apostasy Records a for us perfectly tailored partner. We are looking forward to the cooperation and the release of our new album!”

Additional details and updates are coming soon.

SIX FEET UNDER – VIP Bundles For The Hell In July Tour Available Now

Six Feet Under - Hell In July - promo flyer - 2013

SIX FEET UNDER are currently preparing for their next round of tour dates in support ofUnborn. As previously announced, Decrepit Birth and Cannabis Corpse will be joining them on this tour. Additionally, up-and-coming act Dealey Plaza will open the show. The tour begins July 10th in Houston  and VIP bundles are currently available via http://shop.soundcheckhollywood.com/collections/Hell-In-July-Tour . Bundles include a ticket to the show, SIX FEET UNDER shirt, a limited “Hell In July” poster, and a back stage pre-show hang with founding vocalist, Chris Barnes.

Comments Barnes: “Hello, all you sick fucks! Summer tours in the U.S. are always a blast, and this one is set up for sheer devastation with opening bands Decrepit Birth, Cannabis Corpse and Dealey Plaza! I would just like to take this time to say and send a personal message to those in Denver as well as Seattle: You may want to stock up and/or possibly grow twice as much cannabis as you have been, because once SFU and Cannabis Corpse roll into those towns, the sheer magnitude of smoking may – 1. Drain the cannabis supply of those two said cities or 2. Possibly cause low cloud formations. Fog lights should be used on all vehicles to and from the concert.

“On a side note, I’m super excited to have the opening band Dealey Plaza join us. They are a really killer new band and put on a ferocious live show. Drumming for Dealey Plaza is my nephew, Ryley Dipaola.  He beats the shit out of the drums, and it makes me really proud to have my nephew on the road with me! I’m more proud than I can say about that, so I hope everyone will come out to the shows and support all these great musicians and great bands that are on tour with us this summer for Hell In July! And we will see everyone else real soon! Lots more tour dates to be announced in the coming months, so stay sick and twisted!”

CARCASS – Extreme Metal Legends Headlining DAMNATION FESTIVAL 2013

Damnation Festival - 2013 - promo flyer

THE UK’s PREMIERE INDOOR METAL FESTIVAL

______________________________________

As reported by Damnation Festival:

English Extreme Metal legends CARCASS will return to headline the ninth Damnation Festival for their only UK appearance following the release of their first album in 17 years.

The Death and Grind standard bearers have promised another historic set which will feature cult classics alongside unexpected old gems and brand new material when they take the stage at Leeds University Union on Saturday, November 2, 2013.

And after helping to sell out Damnation Festival in advance back in 2008, guitarist Bill Steer is looking forward to performing to a packed house on their return to the event.

He said: “We’re very excited about the prospect of returning to Damnation Festival this year.

“Our appearance there in 2008 was a major highlight for us and this time around, people can expect to hear a fairly different Carcass set.

“The old favourites will be in there, of course, but we’re also planning to play a couple of the less obvious tracks from our past, as well as songs from the album we’ve just completed. Join us!”Carcass - Band Promo Pic - 2013 - #1

CARCASS

With 22 more bands to be announced across three stages, festival director Gavin McInally, said fans can look forward to the melting pot of diverse styles of music Damnation Festival is known for from Black Metal to Post-Rock.

He added: “It was a coup to land the first UK Carcass show in 13 years in 2008 when fans snapped up every ticket going before we made it to the day itself and it’s another coup having the band return following the release of their first new album in 17 years.

“But even with the mighty Carcass topping the bill, we won’t be satisfied until we’ve pieced together a more challenging and brilliant day of music than the eight successful years we’ve already had the pleasure of hosting, so expect a lot more to come from 2013.”

Tickets for Damnation Festival 2013 are on sale now and will be held at last year’s price of £32 for a limited period.

PANZERCHRIST – Announce New Album “The 7th Offensive”

Panzerchrist - 7th Offensive - promo cover pic

Danish Death Metal mercenaries PANZERCHRIST are releasing their seventh album, aptly entitled The 7th Offensive on July 15th on Listenable following their previous and highly – acclaimed 2011 release, Regiment Ragnarok.

PANZERCHRIST used three different studio to complete their new assault. Guitars and bass were recorded in the Igloo by HR Swan, drums were recorded at AMP studio by Jens Förster and Markus Ziemer and vocals and the final mix were done in Death Island Studio with engineer Marco Angioni.

Although very extreme musically on a constant basis, PANZERCHRIST have never quite done the same album twice. The 7th Offensive shows a slightly more melodic and evil approach to the guitars; enhancing the grey, sinister feel of a battlefield. The band’s intended bleak sound was without a doubt achieved. The album also sees PANZERCHRIST return to the ultra-guttural and pure death metal styled vocals.

Make no mistake, PANZERCHRIST ‘s new album retain the violence and über-brutality the band has been known for. As the band says, “THE WAR IS OVER,  LETS START A NEW ONE , DEATH FOREVER PANZER!”

Stream album track “Dogger Dead” at this location.

Zombiefication - At The Caves Of Eternal - promo cover pic!

Mexican corpse-walkers ZOMBIEFICATION have their second full-length album, At the Caves of Eternal, out now in North America via Pulverised Records.

This putrid masterpiece was recorded at Revolution Studios with Jesús Bravo handling engineering duties and then sent to Necromorbus Studios in Sweden (Watain, Demonical, Desultory, etc) for mixing and mastering under the helm of Tore Stjerna. At the Caves of Eternal comes on the heels of last year’s five-song EP, Reaper’s Consecration.

To stream At the Caves of Eternal in full and purchase a digital download of the album, visit pulverised.bandcamp.com

Jewel case CDs are available at http://www.pulverised.bigcartel.com

Media Praise:

“…prepare for a delectable feast of old school Death Metal that not only remains both catchy yet punishingly heavy throughout but also incorporates slower more methodical and sinister moments, darker and colder segments that border on Black Metal influence and the constant presence of a band who totally dominate their sound and style.” [10/10] – Destructive Music

“…obscured and rotten death metal with classic dark vibes.” – Zombie Ritual Zine

After 3 decades of sickness, the 2 piece maggot eating death machine known as ZOMBIEFICATION is ready to crawl out of the grave with disgust. Soon they will take over the graveyard and unite the dead for the unholy ceremony. Few have been to the encounters so far, but the new age of putrid Death Metal will stench the world. Welcome to the gates, to the gates of the Underworld. Only stench is real!

GRIMUS – New Jersey Brutal Death Metal Crew Drops Details Of Debut Full-Length

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on May 8, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Grimus - promo band pic - 2013 - #1

Almost three years after their pummeling Gutter Earth EP was inflicted upon the masses, cold-blooded Elizabeth, New Jersey-based Death Metal insurgents GRIMUS have completed their first proper full-length, Omnicide.

With its members all hailing from a plethora of Extreme Metal acts including Iberian Black Metal outfit Windfaerer, Metal Blade Tech/Death act Allegaeon and others, the members of GRIMUS are united in hatred for humankind, their output surging with guttural, cutting-edge Death Metal prowess, with monolithic slams and swells of the most vicious kind infiltrating their uncompromising low-end attack. These atrocious features are grippingly captured on the quintet’s debut full-length album, Omnicide. The term literally meaning the killing of everything is a testament to man’s inherent, bloodthirsty nature and audacity to alter his surroundings, through efficient forms of destruction. Paradoxically, mankind is willfully committing suicide in its attempt to become a godlike creator. This album is a soundtrack to the decimation of all that is known, “the age of none.”

A thirty-six minute onslaught of blasting and grooving barbarity, Omnicide was tracked and mixed by guitarist Marco Bobadilla at Crimson Recording and mastered by Alan Douches (Cannibal Corpse, Beneath the Massacre, Job For A Cowboy) at West West Side Music. GRIMUS will self-release Omnicide on June 25 2013.

The Omnicide album art was illustrated and designed by bassist Michael Goncalves.

GRIMUS-Omnicide_Cover_ promo - 2013 -e1367874901454

Omnicide – Track Listing:

1. Without Master

2. Decimation

3. I, Destroyer

4. The Hut of Extinction

5. The Vulture

6. I.V.A.N.

7. Draped in Fear

8. Cradled by Misfortune

9. Within Isolation

Humiliation - Turbulence From The Deep - promo cover pic

Malaysian war-themed Death Metal soldiers, Humiliation, have announced Turbulence From the Deep as the title of their fourth studio album, first for Deepsend Records, to be unleashed May 28th.

With that said, Humiliation have unveiled Phosphorous Shell as the first taste of Metal from this tank of Malaysian death at this location:

http://deepsendrecords.bandcamp.com/album/turbulence-from-the-deep

Pre-orders for Turbulence From the Deep are also available at the above link.

It should be no surprise the band worship at the tank known as Bolt Thrower. Musically, Humiliation focus on mid-tempo headbangers with heavy anthems of war, lack of humanity and minimal guitar solos. Turbulence From the Deep sees the band shift to a more Doom/Death Asphyx approach to songwriting. Eleven mid-paced, tank-heavy headbangers to assault your ears too. The Malaysian hellbrigade have unleashed a powerful necksnapper of an album that will surely become a staple in death’s unholy collection.

TURBULENCE FROM THE DEEP – Track Listing:

No Return

Operation Obeo One

Phosphorous Shell

Calibrated Chaos

Bachok’s Invasion

Sea Denial

Home Front

THORNAFIRE – Signs With FDA Rekotz

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on April 27, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Thornafire - group promo pic - 2013 - #7

FDA Rekotz is proud to announce the addition of Chilean death squad THORNAFIRE.

Offering a visceral and ruthless brand of Extreme Death Metal in the vein of early Sepultura, Death and Massacre, THORNAFIRE have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with through their intense live show and a trio of well-received albums. The band’s fourth full-length will be out in late 2013 on FDA Rekotz. Prepare yourselves for the coming onslaught of high-caliber death metal!

The band has issued a video statement discussing their deal with FDA Rekotz and the addition of drummer Nikko Pagani to the lineup. Check it out below:

A video of the song Malefactor Manifesto off the band’s 2012 release Eclipse Nox Coagula is now playing below:

THORNAFIRE started out in 1998 by the hand of Víctor Mac-Namara with the sole intention of playing Death Metal. A year later two songs were recorded for the Granded for all Somberness demo. With that tape and a savage live show the band started to achieve a strong name in the local scene. After a series of line-up changes, an MCD entitled Mortus Tenebrae Surrectus was released in 2001, which received many good reviews from the local and international metal media. With that THORNAFIRE became one of the most promising Chilean Extreme Metal acts. The recording saw worldwide distribution via the tried and true methods of tape-trading and word of mouth.

Thornafire - band logo - B&W

THORNAFIRE began to gig and tour around Chile and into Bolivia and Argentina. In 2005, the band recorded their debut full-length, Exacerbated Gnostic Manifestation. The album stood out as a milestone in brutality and a masterpiece of hate. It also caught the attention of Incantation’s John McEntee, who signed THORNAFIRE to his label, Ibex Moon Records. The spring of 2007 saw the re-release and worldwide distribution of the debut and, in 2009 the band released Vorex Deconstrucción on Ibex Moon Records. A European invasion soon followed which saw the band appear alongside the likes of Master, Incantation, Deranged and many others at the Obscene Extreme Festival.

Since then, THORNAFIRE has shared stages with Slayer, Overkill, Dimmu Borgir, Motley Crue and several other notable acts. In 2012, bassist/vocalist Christian Argandoña joined the fold and Eclipse Nox Coagula was unleashed with critical acclaim and rabid reception from the band’s growing legion of fans. With a deal with FDA Rekotz in place, THORNAFIRE’s quest for global domination continues. Prepare yourselves.

Terminated - Large Logo!

Following the release of their debut full-length Ascending to Red Heavens via Selfmadegod Records this Winter, Chicago Death Metal horde TERMINATE announces a pending change in the band’s lineup. In a recent statement the band collectively reported:

“We’re sorry to announce the departure of our bassist, Alfred Mulle. There is no ill-will on either end and it is simply a matter of divergent life paths that forces the split. We wish him luck, and encourage everybody to check out his excellent graphic design work through his company Demonic Designs. Alfred’s last show with us will be supporting Wolvhammer and Glorior Belli in Chicago, on May 17th, along with Chicago Black Metal assassins FIN. We will announce a replacement shortly.”

After kicking off last night in Des Moines, Iowa, the current TERMINATE lineup is currently out on the road brutalizing the Midwest and West Coast on their Spring Tour in support of Ascending to Red Heavens. The ongoing attack itinerary is posted below.

Terminate - Ascending To Red Heavens - promo banner - 2013

TERMINATE’s fatal Death Metal attack crushes with an energetic, distortion-laden rush of primal, guttural bliss that fans of Dismember, Morbus Chron, Grave, Tribulation and most high-quality/low-end Stockholm-influenced brutality will no doubt embrace. The debut album from Chicago-area deathbringers, Ascending To Red Heavens, features nine brutalizing tracks recorded at The Basement by Tim Pearson, and mixed/mastered Tim Pearson at Do or Die Studio, and the cover illustrated by Raul Gonzalez (Master, Morbus Chron, etc.).
