Death Metal monarchs CANNIBAL CORPSE grace the cover of the April 2012 edition of Decibel Magazine: The Zombie Issue! Their third time on the cover of one of Metal’s most extreme and revered publications finds bloodied growl-merchant George “Corpsgrinder” Fisher at war with the undead.

Inside, author Chris Dick unearths a thoroughly absorbing ‘CORPSE dissertation that includes collective discussions about the creation of their monolithic new album, Torture, the band’s earliest encounters with censorship, artistic expression, facts and figures on one of the genre’s highest selling bands to date and of course, the relevance of zombies in 2012.

The issue hits newsstands on Thursday, March 8.  To order your copy, go to THIS LOCATION.

Earlier this week, Decibel hosted the official premiere of “Encased In Concrete,” the fourth track off Torture. In case you missed it, you can still rupture your eardrums HERE.

Torture will be available to North American fans on March 13, 2012 via Metal Blade Records. For special Torture preorder packages, visit the band’s OFFICIAL LANDING PAGE.

GRAVEYARD ‘The Altar Of Sculpted Skulls’ – Death Metal That’s Built To Kick Your Ass

Posted in Death Metal, death metal albums, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , on March 3, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

GRAVEYARD – Releasing on April 17th, 2012, in North America via Pulverised Records, is this 6 song EP from GRAVEYARD aptly titled: The Altar Of Sculpted Skulls. Barcelona Spain should be extremely proud to boast they are home to this tenacious and talented Death Metal pack. Dark, groove infested and strewn with a raging wall of sound, GRAVEYARD is not a run-of-the-mill Death Metal band that wants to only shock and awe. There are melodic moments aplenty in which guitarists Bastard and SBE impress with their axes.

Yes, Bastard and SBE can shred and riff it out with extremity, they give GRAVEYARD a signature sound, coming across with an astute awareness for branding this band with memorable deadly licks and tones. Damn good players. Julkarn on bass and vocals sounds like one Death Metal dude you never want to consider messing with. Vocally guttural and coming across like a pissed off nest of Black Shield Wasps, Julkarn’s voice is Death Metal personified.

Gusi on drums administers the Death Metal punishment on his kit with both speed and precision and is damn enjoyable to listen to. Nothing intricate with Gusi, just a Death Metal blast of sound that’s authoritative with kick-ass fills. If a Death Metal fan (old or new school) that is hankering for a new album asked me what to pick up, The Altar Of Sculped Skulls would be at the top of my must own list. These members of GRAVEYARD play and sound like the seasoned Metal artists that they undeniably are.

The Altar Of Sculpted Skulls has turned out to be a Death Meal album I can’t listen to just as a “once through”, instead I let these 6 songs play a second, third and fourth time in a row. This band sucks me right into their Death Metal world of sonic brutality. Yeah, GRAVEYARD are so maniacally good and this EP stings my Metal senses so damn savagely. I won’t dispute any claim that has GRAVEYARD labeled as: Death Fucking Metal. Damn right they are. Metal be thy name.

ENEMY REIGN – Denver Death Metallers Complete New Record

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on March 2, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

New Song Available At SickDrummer

Denver Death Metal horde, ENEMY REIGN recently completed work on their long-awaited new full-length. Entitled Between Hell And Oblivion, the offering was recorded at Flatline Audio by Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Cephalic Carnage, Martriden, Cobalt et al) and offers up 11 tracks of mile-high Deathgrind brutality as well as the debut of vocalist, Stevie Boiser who replaced former throat, Sherwood Webber (Skinless), last Summer.

Commented the band on the output: “Between Hell And Oblivion is a huge milestone for ENEMY REIGN both as a band and for us individually. It means we didn’t give up even when we were written off, and accomplishing that feels great. Musically, we set out to refine what we feel our style of Death Metal is. We aren’t pretentious people, and this is not a pretentious album. It’s a no-nonsense Death Metal album that pays homage to all the bands we grew up with and love, while keeping an eye on how we can add our own artistic license and create something we could listen to everyday. And we do…so enjoy the reign.”

To check out, “Realm Of The Hungry Ghost” scroll on over to SickDrummer at THIS LOCATION where the track is included as part of their current Brutal Beatings E-Compilation.

______________________________________

Originating from Denver, Colorado, ENEMY REIGN does not adhere to the restrictions of a closed-minded genre. Simply tagged “Metal for Metalheads” by friend and fans, ENEMY REIGN draw influence from early ‘90s Death Metal, late ‘80s Grindcore and East Coast Hardcore. Between Hell And Oblivion will be available on digital download and vinyl next month. Stay tuned for details.

Demonocracy Album Info And New Track “Nourishment Through Bloodshed” Revealed

Death Metal goliaths JOB FOR A COWBOY will unleash their brand new studio recording entitled Demonocracy this Spring. Set for North American release on April 10, 2012 via Metal Blade Records, the nine-track Demonocracy was produced by Jason Seucof (Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Trivium) who recorded the band’s blistering Ruination full-length, at Audiohammer Studios, and features another strikingly detailed concept cover by artist Brent Elliott White.

Over their long existence the quintet have built a yearning fan base through their devotion to touring and a diehard commitment to creating relentlessly hostile and involving music, and in 2012 JOB FOR A COWBOY have never sounded hungrier.

Commented the band in a collective statement: “However ruthless an age may actually have been, it’s style transmits it’s music only.”

Seven-string bassist Jeff Hughell, formerly of the Santa Cruz California technical Death Metal band Brain Drill and Concord California Death Metal band Vile, will be joining the ranks as the new SIX FEET UNDER bassist. Check out a video of Jeff shredding on his bass HERE.

______________________________________________________________________
Vocalist Chris Barnes comments; “Six Feet Under is proud to announce our new member, bass player Jeff Hughell. He’s an amazing musician and I have been a fan of his work since first hearing Brain Drill a few years back. We feel with the addition of Jeff, all the puzzle pieces are in place and the killing machine known as Six Feet Under is now a true Death Metal force to be reckoned with! Prepare to be toe tagged and body bagged.”

______________________________________________________________________
Jeff Hughell adds; “I am honored to be the newest edition to the mighty Six Feet Under. This band is now a well oiled killing machine with Kevin Talley and myself as the rhythm section, Steve Swanson and Rob Arnold crushing guitars, and of course the man himself Chris Barnes killing it on vocals. The new material is the heaviest Six Feet Under songs I have ever heard and I can’t wait for the world to get their faces melted clean off by it. I would like to thank Mike Faley, Kelli Malella and the whole Six Feet Under family for thinking of me. It’s going to be one hell of a ride!”

Legendary Czech Death Metal legion MASTER have completed work on their eleventh studio offering. Entitled The New Elite, the 11-track work of deviance was again recorded at Shaark Studios and features cover art by German graphic designer Mark Bridgeman, viewable at THIS LOCATION.

Commented MASTER founding bassist/vocalist Paul Speckmann: “The New Elite deals with the problems we face in society at this current time. The rich are getting richer and the poor are starving on the streets all around the world while men battle each other for world dominance! Governments are grabbing the world by the balls and dictating the new rules of the soon-to-be New Elite, while the youth of today just sit down and take it. I really wonder if and when the youth of today will take a stand against these crazy fucked-up, ruthless world leaders. The time has come to stand up and be counted!”

KOSHER METAL RELEASES ANOTHER COMPILATION ALBUM!

Southern California-based online Metal radio station Kosher Metal have released their second compilation album called “The Kosher Komp Vol. 2” via their website at http://koshermetal.com/kosher-komp

The compilation (along with Vol. 1) is available for free download and contains nearly 30 tracks from 16 unsigned and independent bands. An interactive PDF is included along with the compilation artwork. There is also a Limited Edition CD version available with only 150 copies made and individually numbered, for those who want something physical.

Kosher Metal founder and on-air personality ManJewky stated the following regarding the compilation series: “It’s a tough world out there for unsigned and independent Metal bands, but we at Kosher Metal are doing everything we can to help get these bands heard. I have been on both sides of the spectrum. I have been in bands but I’ve also done a lot of work on the business end of things. With all of my knowledge and experience, it would be a shame to let that go to waste. Besides, I want to be able to provide some opportunities that my old bands never had.”

Bands included on the compilation are (in alphabetical order): Age Of Menace, American Hell, Avete Monstrum, Death Audio, Denial Machine, I Magnified, IMAIM, Korotory, Lefutray, Mouth Of The Serpent, Nekrogoblikon, NUCLEAR, Sentenced On Sunday, Separation Of Sanity & Speedpig.

Montreal based Extreme Metallers KATAKLYSM will release a multi-disc DVD this Spring entitled The Iron Will: 20 Years Determined, which features a documentary and bonus CD materials. The set will depict the ups and downs of the band’s long, turbulent career, as well as footage of KATAKLYSM’s performance at last year’s Summer Breeze festival, which took place August 18-20, 2011 in Dinkelsbühl, Germany. The cover art for the release was created by artist Colin Marks (ORIGIN, EXODUS, NEVERMORE) and can be viewed above.

Check out the second teaser for the upcoming release at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05tQFsKBFO4

KATAKLYSM recently recorded the single The Iron Will in Montreal, Canada with guitarist/producer Jean-François Dagenais. It will be mixed by Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, BEHEMOTH, MNEMIC) in Denmark and will be made available with a video clip on iTunes one month before the release of The Iron Will: 20 Years Determined.

Watch the video clip for the song At the Edge of the World at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD1BBE-XYxQ . The footage was taken from the bands hometown show at Club Soda in Montreal, which was part of their recent “Spread the Venom” headlining world tour. At the Edge of the World comes from the bands latest acclaimed album Heaven’s Venom. The video clip was filmed by director Tommy Jones (DEATH ANGEL, SOILWORK), who is also helming the bands upcoming Documentary/DVD THE IRON WILL: 20 YEARS DETERMINED.

CANNIBAL CORPSE – Reigning Kings Of Death Metal Set To Release Twelfth Studio Album: ‘Torture’

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , on January 16, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

America’s reigning kings of brutality, CANNIBAL CORPSE, will unleash their twelfth studio offering this March via Metal Blade Records. Aptly titled Torture, the follow-up to 2009’s Evisceration Plague offers up 12 tracks of maniacally precise, soul-searing Death Metal. Torture was again produced by Hate Eternal’s Erik Rutan at his own Mana Recording Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida as well as Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, and features the maniacal cover art by longtime CANNIBAL CORPSE artist, Vincent Locke, viewable HERE.

While Torture marks the latest progression in the band’s sound, it also witnesses a return to what drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz accurately terms “the frenzied attack of Butchered At Birth (1991) or Tomb Of The Mutilated (1992),” infusing the band’s advanced musicianship with the raw savagery that haunted their earlier releases, and in the process conceiving the definitive CANNIBAL CORPSE record. Adds bassist Alex Webster on the outcome of the record: “We’re extremely happy with how Torture turned out. Erik Rutan did an amazing job with the production, and the songwriting and performances may be our strongest yet. We can’t wait until our fans get to hear the whole thing!”

Witness the gutting sounds of “Demented Aggression,” the band’s first single, as well as studio footage, at the official CANNIBAL CORPSE landing page, at THIS LOCATION.

TORTURE – Track Listing:

01. Demented Aggression

02. Sarcophagic Frenzy


03. Scourge of Iron


04. Encased in Concrete


05. As Deep As the Knife Will Go


06. Intestinal Crank


07. Followed Home Then Killed

08. The Strangulation Chair

09. Caged…Contorted


10. Crucifier Avenged


11. Rabid


12. Torn Through

As a precursor to the release, CANNIBAL CORPSE will perform a special one-off show at the Culture Room in West Palm Beach, Florida on January 22nd then head to the seas to take part in this year’s edition of the 70,000 Tons Of Metal Cruise. The band will get a short break before a near month-long march through Europe on the Full Of Hate 2012 tour with labelmates Behemoth.

Torture will be released in North America on March 13, 2012.

Alex Webster – Bass

Paul Mazurkiewicz – Drums

Rob Barrett – Guitar

Patrick O’Brien – Guitar

George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher – Vocals
