REPTILIAN DEATH – “The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence” Available As Digital Download

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

Mumbai-based Death Metal outfit REPTILIAN DEATH, who recently signed with Old School Metal Records, has made their newest release, The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence, available as a digital download on iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital retailers. Physical copies of the CD can be pre-ordered for October 10th delivery. A full list of outlets where the album can be purchased has been posted below.

REPTILIAN DEATH released posted studio footage of the guitar recording sessions for The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence, which took place at Demonic Studios. Check out the footage below:

Reptilian Death - promo band pic - 2013 - #!

REPTILIAN DEATH has long existed in the shadows of the Indian Metal scene as the side project of Demonic Resurrection frontman, Demonstealer. The band spent their first 12 years making sporadic live appearances and changing line-ups fairly often. During that time, REPTILIAN DEATH had an almost humorous disposition, writing little spoof metal epics like ‘5 Easy Ways To Murder Someone’ and ‘Nursery Rhymes For Satan’s Children’ while balancing a handful of serious tracks which eventually found themselves on their 2004 debut, Total Annihilation. In 2006, the band’s direction took a turn for the serious with the release of their EP Intestinal Feast on the Defaced And Split album, which also featured Exhumation, Warface and Narsil.

Shortly after the release, the band returned to the shadows until resurfacing in early 2013. The band exploded on the scene completely metamorphosed into brand new beast. Fronted by Vinay Venkatesh (Bhaynak Maut), dressed in priestly robes with his face painted half black and half white and backed by a band of masked members, REPTILIAN DEATH has moved out of the shadows and into the forefront of the global Metal community. The world will now see The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence.

 _____________________________________________

A furious and infectious maelstrom of doom-infused thrash mastery, Dark Path – the blazing debut LP from the Harrison-based EARTHLING quartet — was released via their cohorts at Forcefield Records in May, and was well-received by humans involved in the underground music media as well as innocent bystanders. Through an organic, blackened, thrashing hybrid of metal drawing influences from across the spectrum of extreme music, the band’s corrosive live attack was finally captured on record.

Recorded by Garret Morris (Windhand, Cough, Parasytic, Bastard Sapling) and mastered by Mikey Allred (Inter Arma, Hellbender, Across Tundras), Dark Path is a coarse, diverse display of the band’s terrorizing spirit; a ravenous force that has guided the group through countless shows, relentless demo recordings, and over five years of sheer sacrifice.

Stream all of Dark Path AT THIS LOCATION.

Critical Praise:

“…a ripping blend of crust and proto-black metal riffs that boil from a vast melting pot of extremity; their truly diverse extreme sound also brings with it the incessant need to thrash.” – Terrorizer

 

“…like bong ripping yourself into a black hole where the other side is the embodiment of Mob Rules era Sabbath with the addition of some major Mega Man shred duals.” – Mxdwn

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal, thrash metal bands with tags , , , , , , on September 24, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Generation Kill - We're All Gonna Die - promo cover pic

New York City thrashers GenerationKillOfficial have revealed the artwork & track listing for WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE, the band’s second studio album to be released in North America on November 26th.

“We achieved our goal of creating something that we all are so proud of,” states GENERATION KILL frontman & lyricist Rob Dukes, who also fronts the Bay Area thrash band Exodus.

“We called this album We’re All Gonna Die because for the most part the lyrics are about the darker side of the existence of humans on this planet. The album as a whole is so diverse, drawing from our influences that we grew up on. I personally think this is the strongest vocal performance of my career, and as a band, we can’t wait for the hard rock/metal world to hear this album.”

Produced by Zeuss (HATEBREED, AGNOSTIC FRONT, MUNICIPAL WASTE), fellow GENERATION KILL band members include Rob Moschetti (ex-PRO-PAIN / M.O.D.) on bass & backing vocals, dual lead guitarists Jason Trenzcer (ex-MUTILATION) & Jason Velez, and James DeMaria (ex- MERAUDER) on drums.

The Track Listing For We’re All Gonna Die Includes:
01 – Born To Serve
02 – Prophets Of War
03 – Self Destruction
04 – Friendly Fire
05 – Carny Love
06 – Vegas
07 – There Is No Hope
08 – We’re All Gonna Die

The GENERATION KILL band name comes from the title of the 2004 book (also a HBO mini-series) written by Rolling Stone journalist Evan Wright.

LASTER – Dutch Black Metal Entity LASTER Announces First Live Performance

Posted in Black Metal, black metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on September 13, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Laster - Live Performances - promo flyer - 2013 - #1

Emerging from their self-imposed solitude, atmospheric Black Metal entity LASTER will travel from their Dutch homeland to Germany later this year for their first ever live performance.

Scheduled for Saturday, December 21st, LASTER’s live debut will take place at Musikbunker Aachen in Aachen, Germany. Support will come from NORTHWARD, GOATBLOOD and MORAST. For more info and updates, visit the Concert Event Page.

In 2012, LASTER released the three-track EP, Wijsgeer & Narreman on Dunkelheit Produktionen. Praised for its bleak, yet hypnotic and poetic delivery, the EP is currently available on CD, cassette and digital formats. Looping lamentation and genuine gloom brought to life by songs which leave the standard of DSBM far behind. Floating riffs, melancholic and full of grace, rolling drums and pressing lyrics tell stories about pain that was lived through and artistic musicianship. This music’s pathos aspirated by an energy standing up again and again to fade within monotonous doubt and to indulge in blind despair.

laster - promo band pic - #1 - 2013

LASTER (meaning libel) was founded and located in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The band consists of N. (NORTHWARD) and W. Damiaen (OMNINIHILIST, SEA OF TREES, WILLOOS, WHITE OAK). Wijsgeer & Narreman is recommended for fans of URFAUST and AUSTERE!

Wijsgeer & Narreman is available at: www.dunkelheit.cc.

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal, thrash metal bands with tags , , , , , , on September 7, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Kreator - promo band banner - 2013 - #444

German Thrash titans KREATOR, Nuclear Blast, Janmedia and animal rights organization PETA Germany have teamed up for charity. Together three huge prints of parts of the stunning artwork (by renowned artis Jan Meininghaus) of the band’s most recent DVD/Blu Ray Dying Alive are being auctioned off via eBay.

All three prints are signed by all band members – all proceeds will go directly in favor of PETA Germany.

Check out and spread all three auctions here: http://ebay.eu/164ns2G

Kreator - Charity Prints - PETA - 2013

KREATOR – Charity Prints

Commented KREATOR mainman and active vegan Mille Petrozza: “Our favorite artist Jan Meininghaus did an amazing job creating the cover art for Dying Alive and the prints look just awesome. We are happy to support PETA and all the hard-working people who help to make this world a better place – not only for humans, cats, dogs and other pets, but for ALL our animal friends on this planet.”

Added PETA Germany representative Jobst Eggert: Animals need our voice as they can´t speak for themselves.

FISTULA – Cleveland Sludge Kingpins To Kick Off Shows With Nightstick This Week; New Tracks Posted

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

Fistula - promo tour flyer

Long-running Cleveland ministers of sludge, FISTULA, are preparing to spread their aural disease along the East Coast with a short stretch of live assaults. Scheduled to commence on Monday September 2, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Vermin Tour 2013 will filthify its way through Allston, Providence, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Allentown. FISTULA will be joined by their diseased brethren, Nightstick. Hearing will be damaged. Feelings will be hurt. 

FISTULA – Rock ‘N’ Roll Vermin Tour 2013

w/ Nightstick

9/02/2013 Obrien’s – Allston, MA

9/04/2013 Dusk – Providence, RI

9/05/2013 Acheron – Brooklyn, NY

9/06/2013 The Mill Creek Tavern – Philadelphia, PA

9/07/2013 Sportsman’s Café – Allentown PA

 _______________________________________

In other FISTULA activities, the band has a host of resonated new offerings on the rise including the brand new Vermin Prolificus LP set to detonate via To Live A Lie early next year. FISTULA will be crash-test driving the tunes “Smoke Cat Hair and Toe Nails,” “Pig Funeral” and “Goat Brothel” throughout next week’s live takeover. Additionally, FISTULA will appear on a split cassette with Radiation Sickness to be unleashed through Die Song this October as well as a split 12″ with Ravens Creed through Doomentia in 2014. Finally, the band will be featured on the forthcoming release from XXX-rated funk legend Blowfly. Dubbed Black in the Sack, the eight track offering marks Blowfly’s first studio album in seven years and includes a curious collaboration with team FISTULA, Dave Szulkin (Blood Farmers) and Tesco Vee (The Meatmen) on the track “Dick Stabbath.” Black in the Sack will see release via PATAC Records this Fall.

Sully your ears with “An Eighth of Meth Scabs” (from the Radiation Sickness split) and “Dick Stabbath” (from the Blowfly full-length), now playing at THIS LOCATION.

Stay tuned for further FISTULA dealings to be divulged in the coming weeks.

“Cleveland’s sludge-thrash royals FISTULA have strung together (strung out?) a catalog of violent, unapologetic releases oozing utter scorn for all things ridiculously mainstream and vanilla…. The plod balances the shred, and the fury lines every note with napalm. The tempo shifts may suggest a bi-polar, manic, borderline personality glitch, but anyone familiar with this band will hardly raise a red flag. That sleeping giant you poked with a stick never woke up. Instead, Fistula again showed up with no warning. Your skin is bubbling, your left eye is gone, and you’re drooling as you sift through the soil looking for loose teeth. Oh, stop it. You’re embarrassing yourself.” – Heavy Planet

Epica - Retrospect - promo cover pic

Dutch Symphonic Metal band EPICA celebrated their 10th anniversary with a one-night-only event, dubbed Retrospect. The band was accompanied by the seventy piece Extended Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra and the Miskolc National Theatre Choir, playing an unforgettable 3-hours best-of set.

According to respected Dutch newspaper the Volkskrant: “The band wrote a chapter of Dutch metal History” this evening. Rock Tribune (Belgium) thought it was “an unforgettable show”.

Ten high-definition cameras captured this very special sold-out show while EPICA played in front of nearly five thousand ecstatic fans in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In addition to a collection of the band’s biggest hits from across the spectrum of their entire catalog, this once-in-a-lifetime spectacular also features the live debut of ‘Twin Flames’ and the previously unreleased ‘Retrospect’, covers of classics by Vivaldi, Pergolesi, and Oscar-winning film composer John Williams, two guest collaborations with the venerable Floor Jansen (NIGHTWISH, REVAMP), and a very special performance of their breakthrough single, ‘Quietus’, with founding members Jeroen Simons, Ad Sluijter, and Yves Huts.
