TURISAS – “Piece by Piece” (Official Lyric Video) Is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Turisas - 2013 - promo cover pic

TURISAS – The fourth studio album from TURISAS, 2013, has recently been released worldwide via Century Media Records. Receiving mixed album reviews from critics is nothing new to TURISAS as of late, with 2013 being no exception. With that said, the loyal and worldwide fan base for TURISAS are both rabid and real.

I personally am digging the overall musical accomplishment that 2013 is, to my Metal scarred and (somewhat) aging ears. Viking Metal, Battle Metal, Folk Metal and Metal unite!

To an American like myself, TURISAS is an exemplary example of what International Metal is all about. I’ll throw in the legendary SABATON too, for good Metal measure. Metal was never supposed to sound exactly the same, across the wide spectrum of Metal bands and genres. Bands evolve, unless you’re Metallica and put out crap like Lulu. Metal, without question… evolves.

Our Metal warriors from Hämeenlinna, Finland sound epic, titanic and triumphant in their new, official lyric video: Piece By Piece. Take a LOUD listen for yourself below! Whoa!

TURISAS PIECE BY PIECE (Official Lyric Video) Is:

STONE’S METAL PICK OF THE DAY!

DESTRUCTION – REMINISCE ROCK IN RIO

Posted in concerts, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal, thrash metal bands with tags , , , , , , on October 6, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Destruction - promo group pic - 2012 - #1

DESTRUCTION – After taking part in this years’ Rock In Rio Festival, German Thrash Metal veterans DESTRUCTION reminisce on what will definitely stick out as a highlight of their long-lasting career. The legendary mega event started in 1985 with top acts like QUEEN, AC/DC, THE SCORPIONS, IRON MAIDEN and many more, playing in front of 1, 3 million visitors. The following events Rock In Rio II and Rock In Rio III took place with a ten years between them – in 1991 and 2001. In 2004 the festival relocated from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon and in an additional version in Madrid. For its tenth anniversary, Rock In Rio returned to its roots. This years’ Rock In Rio, which was again held in the Brazilian capital, saw another brilliant line-up featuring SEPULTURA, IRON MAIDEN, METALLICA and of course DESTRUCTION.

Destruction - Schmier - Rock In Rio - 2013 - publicity - #1

Front force Schmier (Bass, Vocals & Hate) commented stunned: 

“The air was clearly filled with tension before our appearance at the biggest and most renowned Festival of our time. In Brazil and even all of Latin America this event brings along giant media coverage, in a way I’ve never seen before. During an entire week all performances are aired live on TV, newspapers feature specials and cover stories, soda cans have special printings on them and everybody is only talking about the festival. The pride of the whole nation is focused on Rio during these nine days! Even soccer is second string for this period and we all know how important it is to Latin American countries! Even for ripped-off geezers like us there are still highlights to come and Rock In Rio festival with its fan euphoria (at the airport there were fans jumping at your every other moment) was a sensational experience. Before it we’ve already spend a week in South America getting ready and we were hot! The show, were our Brazilian buddies of KRISIUN supported us as guests, was just as insane as one imagines it to be with this kind of magnitude in Brazil. Several huge circlepits and tens of thousands of fists in the air celebrating the German Thrash Metal as if we had reinvented it! Total madness! When I come to look back on my carrier someday, Rock In Rio will stick out as one of its highlights. Having the people go nuts because of the event for almost a week, in a way that is only possible in Brazil: Pure joy of life and euphoria together with the ferocity of the latinos! Just terrific! Thank you Brazil for having us experience this, the craziest fans on earth definitely live in Latin America!!!”

TOXIC HOLOCAUST – Free Download Of “Awaken The Serpent” Now Available At Amazon.com

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

Toxic Holocaust - Chemistry Of Consciousness - promo cover pic

Today Relapse Records, in conjunction with Amazon.com, delivers a special label sampler featuring opening ear bleeder, Awaken The Serpent, from Portland metal/punk perpetrators, TOXIC HOLOCAUST. The tune serves as the intro track of Chemistry Of Consciousness, the band’s forthcoming new full-length. A cantankerous sonic assault of punk-laden angst, brazen metal hostility, thought-provoking concepts, and enough vocal venom to seize a nation, Chemistry Of Consciousnessis unquestionably one of the most anticipated records of the year.

Snatch a FREE download of “Awaken The Serpent,” courtesy of Amazon.com, at THIS LOCATION.

Additionally, you can still raise your metal claws to the sounds of “Rat Eater,” currently streaming at Loudwire at THIS LOCATION as well as “Out Of The Fire,” still playing at MetalSucks, HERE.

_______________________________________

Recorded by the band, mixed with Kurt Ballou (Converge) at GodCity Studio and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, From Ashes Rise, Nails) at Audiosiege Engineering, Chemistry Of Consciousnesspays homage to the likes of Anti-Cimex, Warfare, Infernal Majesty, GBH, Discharge, Autopsy and Chaos UK without replicating them. Crowned “one of thrash’s most exciting modern bands,” by Loudwire, Chemistry Of Consciousness will drop in North America on October 29th (October 25th in Benelux/DE/Finland and October 28th in UK/World) on CD, LP and digitally. Preorder packages are available now. Point your browser HERE.

TOXIC HOLOCAUST mutated into existence in 1999, when Joel Grind merged his love for classic punk and metal into his ideal band. Like his influences – Bathory, Venom, English Dogs, Possessed, Broken Bones – TOXIC HOLOCAUST offers up blazing riffs, gravel-throated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world wrapped in a DIY attitude.

________________________________________

Critical Praise:

“…the aural equivalent of a cobra with a chest tattoo of a double helix and syringes for fangs getting ready to strike amidst two flesh-like walls of anxious, bloodshot eyes…” – MetalSucks

“…a thoroughly dynamic piece, delivering an evil intensity truly captivating in approach. Of course, the guitar rushes in for a blistering solo, bridging the song towards a conclusion with plenty of muscle.” – Loudwire on the track “Rat Eater”

PRIMITIVE MAN – Autumn Live Assaults Announced – Downfall 2013 Tour

Posted in concerts, doom metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on October 1, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Primitive Man - Autumn Tour - 2013 - promo flyer

Denver’s favorite Blackened Doom derelicts, PRIMITIVE MAN, will wage war upon the ears of the innocent this autumn with a short run of live assaults. Set to begin October 13th in Kansas City, the band will spread their negativity eastward through nine cities including an appearance at Invisible Oranges’ CMJ showcase at Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus Bar.

Comments the band: “We can’t wait for this tour! We are playing with some amazing bands and hanging out with some old friends this time around. See you in the cut.”

Featuring current and former members of Withered, Clinging To The Trees of A Forest Fire, Death of Self and Reproacher, PRIMITIVE MAN will be touring in support of their critically adored Scorn full-length. A physically and psychologically eviscerating sound excursion, Scorn was recorded by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio (Cephalic Carnage, Catheter, Cobalt, etc.) and boasts seven hymns of hate, anguish and rampant planetary discontent.

Primitive Front

The record was initially unleashed earlier this year via a collaboration between Throatruiner and Mordgrimm Records before being reissued by Relapse late last month and continues to reap media hails both nationally and abroad for a “totally malignant sounding record … that will consume you whole if you’re not careful” (Cvlt Nation).

Scorn is currently available via Relapse Records on CD, LP and digitally. Order your copy HERE.

PRIMITIVE MAN Autumn Live Actions:

10/13/2013 The Sandbox – Kansas City, MO

10/14/2013 The Vault – Madison, WI

10/15/2013 Gooski’s – Pittsburgh, PA

10/16/2013 The Millcreek – Philadelphia, PA

10/17/2013 CMJ Invisible Oranges Showcase @ Saint Vitus – Brooklyn, NY

10/18/2013 The Depot – York, PA

10/19/2013 Strange Matter – Richmond, VA

10/20/2013 Haymarket Whiskey Bar – Louisville, KY

10/21/2013St. Fubar – St. Louis, MO

____________________________________________________

Critical Praise:

“No album so far this year has been as depressingly crushing as Scorn, and it’ll take something really empty and dank to match what PRIMITIVE MAN has done on this album.” – Metal Underground

PRIMITIVE MAN delivers the kind of doom metal reminiscent of a vast, apocalyptic wasteland where the only inhabitants left are too busy committing acts of lethal brutality against one another to care about things as trivial as beauty or art.” – Metal Insider

SYLOSIS – After Tour Bus Accident, Band Needs Support From Metal Community

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, news, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on September 28, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Sylosis - Tour Bus Crash - pic - 2013 - Sept. 26

SYLOSIS – As many of you know (or may not know), Sylosis was involved in a terrible tour bus crash, this past week. Fortunately there were no casualties; however there were injuries, resulting in the band’s tour cancellation with Trivium and DevilDriver. Money is now a huge issue for these unfortunate Metal lads from Reading, England.

I’ve posted below, the (2) actual Facebook entries from Sylosis’s guitarist/vocalist Josh Middleton. Maybe you can (please) help this great Metal band get back on their feet to recover their funds lost, due to this accident. Metal be thy name.

Sylosis - Monolith - promo banner pic - 2012

As reported by guitarist/vocalist Josh Middleton, on the Sylosis Facebook page, on September 26th.

Hey guys. Josh here again and again wanting to thank everyone for their support these past few days. It’s been overwhelming.

We’re really feeling it pretty hard today and are looking like a bunch of slow, old men when we walk. Aside from the physical issues that prevent us from continuing on with the tour it has also put us in thousands of pounds worth of debt due to losing the deposit (and now paying extra) on the RV, damaged trailer, booking new flights home, equipment damage and we’re now incurring all kinds of transport/accommodation costs as we make our journey home.

The last thing we want is for people to think we’re now cashing in on the accident and taking advantage of people’s sympathy, but we need some help right now so we’ve just released two exclusive tshirts where all the profits will go towards clearing our debts. Both of the shirts are available as a pre-order.

http://sylosis.myshopify.com/

One is the tour tshirt (now with the majority of the dates cancelled) and the other is a brand new design we were waiting to release when we launch all our new designs in the a few months time. We like the idea of you guys helping us and actually getting something for your money but we will also accept paypal donations of any kind to:

sylosis@hotmail.com.

I can’t stress enough that we do not intend to exploit the situation.

Thanks to all of you guys and the entire metal community right now for showing us so much support these past few days.

Below is an injury and band status report for Sylosis, As reported by guitarist/vocalist Josh Middleton on the Sylosis Facebook page on September 25th, 2013:

Hey everyone, Josh here. Myself, Rob and Bailey have just been released after over ten hours in hospital. Carl is being kept in overnight as he’s in too much pain to walk but should hopefully be released tomorrow morning (Montreal time) once some of his muscle pain/swelling has subsided.

All four of us and our driver were hospitalised but seeing as Bailey was the only one who didn’t get taken in on a stretcher and a neck brace he wasn’t treated as urgently. He’s just had his back sewn up and is off to the scrap yard where the RV was taken to get people’s clothes and some personal items – hero.

We’re all very lucky. We’ve mostly just been stitched up (my eyebrow, a few on Carl’s legs and Bailey’s back), badly bruised and what feels like full body whiplash. In car accident terms we’re alright but in general terms we’re not physically capable of continuing on with the tour and aim to get back to our families and friends asap to recover.

We want to thank the paramedics, the passers-by who came to our help, the staff at the hospital and all of the fans and bands that have wished us well. It means the world to us.

Stay safe,

Josh

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
