The Kennedy Veil Release New Guitar Play Through Video For “Perfidia”

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music with tags Death Metal, Metal News, metal odyssey, the kennedy veil on March 2, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Sacramento, CA’s modern death metal juggernaut, THE KENNEDY VEIL, have released a new play through video with guitarist Kc Childers performing the track entitled “Perfidia.” The track is taken from their crushing debut album, Trinity of Falsehood, which saw a release on Jan 21, 2014 via Unique Leader Records.

Check out the “Perfidia” play through video at this location, and be sure to subscribe to THE KENNEDY VEIL‘s official YouTube channel to see all their upcoming video updates first!

Produced by Nick Botelho at NB Recording in Santa Rosa, California and featuring the debut of vocalist, Taylor Wientjes, Trinity Of Falsehood is the band’s most technically precise, conceptually captivating and indisputably brutal material to date. Trinity of Falsehood can be streamed in its entirety at this location.

Confirmed upcoming Live Dates for THE KENNEDY VEIL:

05/01 – 05/02 – Jub Jub’s – Reno, NV – Spring Meltdown Fest (w/ Conducting from the Grave, Inanimate Existence, Embryonic Devourment, Ænimus, and more)

Critical Praise:

“THE KENNEDY VEIL has thrown down the death metal gauntlet for years to come. Trinity Of Falsehood is a scorcher…” – Dead Rhetoric

“The thing that… separates THE KENNEDY VEIL from the pack is the fact that there are definite hooks among the relentless displays of technical prowess…” – Knac.com

“Combining an undercurrent of evil with the new-school ideal for technicality, THE KENNEDY VEIL really exemplifies what modern death metal is/should be moving towards… This is the type of death metal you happily put on repeat.” — Decoy Music

Metal Odyssey Celebrates Its 6 Year Anniversary Today! Metal Be Thy Name!

Posted in classic rock, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags classic rock, Metal, Metal News, metal odyssey, rock music news on March 1, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Metal Odyssey Headquarters – My pup Ozzy (above) isn’t kidding, it’s been 6 years! It is March 1st, 2015 and it’s the 6 year anniversary of Metal Odyssey. Whoa! Shut the front door! Gather the villagers! My, how fast 6 years can fly by! Metal Odyssey was launched back on March 1st, 2009 (MMIX).

Back in 2009, The Walking Dead and Finding Bigfoot were not on television yet. Wow! In 2009 a pound of bacon cost $3.19 and a U.S. postage stamp cost 42 cents. Unreal! Six years ago, after an eleven year wait, the iconic KISS released a new studio album:

KISS Sonic Boom was released on October 6th, 2009.

__________________________

During 2009 I was new to the blogosphere, thus I used about 200 or more “tags” with every post that was published on Metal Odyssey. I was such a nerd. Oops. I still am. Um, anyhow, take a look for yourself, as to how “tag crazy” I once was:

After 6 years with Metal Odyssey in my Metal life, I’ve learned quickly that there is always room for improvement and I don’t know everything. There are no laurels to rest on here. Each day I am grateful that other humans actually visit Metal Odyssey and hopefully it brings some kind of Metal joy to their lives; as Metal Odyssey has brought immeasurable Metal joy to mine. My love for Metal and Rock ‘N’ Roll hopefully shows, throughout these past 6 years of Metal Odyssey.

I thank every visitor (both random and loyal) and each subscriber to Metal Odyssey; you are ALL the reason why Metal Odyssey’s Metal wheels keep moving. To ALL the kick-ass Twitter followers, you RULE too! Each respective PR agency, PR rep, record label, musician and band I tremendously applaud for delivering to me the invaluable promotional materials and/or insight that are so necessary in the proper execution of Metal Odyssey. You ALL know who you are and you ALL ROCK!

I placed the Witch Cross Axe To Grind album cover (above) for the reason that I can.

I especially thank Nilla, Scott Coverdale, Megy, Sara, Kev Moore, my guardian Metal angels, WordPress.com and my fellow blogging peers for any and all support, these past 6 years. Metal Be Thy Name!

AVENGED SEVENFOLD “Hail to the King: Deathbat” Video Game Soundtrack Is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Posted in Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, video games with tags a7x, avenged sevenfold, hail to the king: deathbat, metal odyssey, mobile video games on February 28, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

The Hail to the King: Deathbat original video game soundtrack is now available on iTunes for $4.99. Get it here: http://smarturl.it/httkdbst.itunes

Avenged Sevenfold self-financed their own mobile role-playing fantasy video game called Deathbat, partnering with Subscience Studios. Deathbat is available for iOS and Android devices. The Hail to the King: Deathbat original video game soundtrack was created by Avenged Sevenfold.

If you love mobile video games, the Castlevania (or the like) video games, trying out something different on the scary and inspirational spectrum of music and/or love Avenged Sevenfold, then this video game soundtrack is for you. It’s all instrumental songs coupled with 8-bit music and I bought it off of iTunes. It is an entertaining listen!

Bringing to life this Deathbat soundtrack and making it available for purchase was a grand idea from Avenged Sevenfold. Ten songs fused with dark/fantasy video game sounds and atmospheres of Deathbat is, in my Metal opinion… Metal. This soundtrack was released on January 27th, 2015, via Warner Bros. Records. Metal be thy name.

Hail to the King: Deathbat mobile video game is available from the App Store and Google Play.

Watch and listen to the Deathbat video game trailer:

Crowquill Records Sign Codas

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music with tags codas, metal albums 2015, Metal News, metal odyssey on February 28, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Crowquill Records is pleased to announce that they will be releasing the debut EP of CODAS, the post-metal project from Mario Quintero of Sleep Lady and Spotlights. The EP, which is titled Currents, is projected to be released in the spring of 2015.

Currents will consist of 4 tracks and is recommended for fans of bands such as Jesu, Nadja and Old Man Gloom.

Label CEO BJ Dierkes had the following to say about the signing:

“Codas is one of those projects that comes along out of nowhere and just kicks you right in the gut. Their debut EP “Currents” hits a sweet spot across an entire spectrum of influences and genres that have been masterfully melded together. This stuff is on a whole other level, and we’re stoked to be working with them.”

The label has released a teaser trailer for the album which can be viewed below or at this location:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEHrHZpd2tI

The album cover for Currents can be seen below:

About Codas:

Codas is the solo project from New York-based Mario Quintero of Sleep Lady and Spotlights. A year after relocating from San Diego, CA, Codas began as an experiment in not over thinking things, as well as not being concerned with any specific sound or genre. Their debut EP “Currents” (Crowquill 2015) displays elements of post-rock, noise, and even the math-ier side of 90s post-hardcore, laced with influences of industrial, doom, and black metal.

GRUESOME – Death Metal Faction Featuring Members Of Exhumed, Possessed, Malevolent Creation And Derketa To Release Debut This April Via Relapse Records; Trailer Posted + Preorders Available

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags Death Metal, gruesome, gruesome savage land, metal albums 2015, Metal News on February 24, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

GRUESOME is a debilitating Death Metal faction featuring members of Exhumed, Possessed, Malevolent Creation and Derketa. A respectful celebration of the sound of the early Death records, the collective was borne out of guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey (Exhumed) and drummer Gus Rios’ (Malevolent Creation) mutual involvement with the Death To All tours, with Harvey serving as frontman for the original nine-member mini-tour and Rios performing “Baptized In Blood” and working with DTA drummer Sean Reinert on the following US tour where Exhumed filled in as support on a several dates. The pair stayed in touch and discussed their mutual love (obsession?) for the early half of Death’s catalog.

After deliberating and ultimately discarding the idea of putting together another incarnation of DTA to focus exclusively on the first two albums, Harvey half-jokingly suggested writing their own songs in that vein. It wasn’t long before the idea gained traction, and the “band” had five songs written. With Harvey composing in California, Rios recruited Possessed guitarist Daniel Gonzalez and Derketa bassist Robin Mazen to record the material in Florida, while Harvey tracked his vocals on the West Coast. The result is eight-track debut, Savage Land, a truly gruesome slab of late-’80s/early-’90s Florida-styled Death Metal. Tragically, there will never be any truly new Death material, but GRUESOME is humbly determined to keeping the band’s classic sound alive as faithfully as possible.

Check Out GRUESOME’s Savage Land Trailer Below:

Savage Land – Track Listing:

1. Savage Land
2. Trapped In Hell
3. Demonized
4. Hideous
5. Gangrene
6. Closed Casket
7. Psychic Twin
8. Gruesome

Elaborates Harvey, “We had such a blast writing and recording this album, I just hope people enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed doing it. It was a great experience working with my friends in Florida and getting to write and record my take on the Death sound. I’m beyond happy with the way everything came out and I hope people take it as the loving, respectful piece of work that it is. I know that sounds counterintuitive for a death metal album, but the whole band is really a super nerdy fan letter to Chuck [Schuldiner], James [Murphy], Rick [Rozz], Terry [Butler], Chris [Reifert], Paul [Masvidal], Sean [Reinert], and Stevie D [DiGiorgio] for making records that have given me literally decades of enjoyment. Having had a chance to meet and hang out with all of those dudes from the early Death days, with the exception of Bill Andrews, has been nothing but humbling, rewarding, enlightening and has only deepened my love for the band and made it that much more personal. So I decided to write an album about ’80s horror movies and deadly diseases, which is what anyone would do under the circumstances, right? Anyway, if you like late ’80s Death, I sincerely hope you enjoy our take on it, which is really what this album is, with all the drippy blood and inverted crosses in the logo that it implies.”

Savage Land was recorded by Rios and Gonzalez at Riversound Studios in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, mixed by Jarrett Pritchard at Mana Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida and features a guest guitar solo on “Closed Casket” by James Murphy as well as cover art by legendary illustrator Ed Repka (Death, Megadeth, Massacre, Athiest et el).

Savage Land will be released in North America via Relapse Records on April 21st, 2015, April 17th in Germany, Benelux and Finland and April 20th in the UK and the rest of the world on CD and digitally. For preorders scroll on over to THIS LOCATION. Digital preorders are available via the GRUESOME BandCamp page HERE.

UNREST – Debuts New Track “Protest Culture” From ‘Grindcore’ Album

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music with tags grindcore, metal odyssey, unrest on February 23, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Philadelphia/Brooklyn grinders UNREST have debuted a new track from upcoming Unspeakable Axe Records release Grindcore. Stream “Protest Culture” and read a Q&A with the trio at:

http://burningambulance.com/2015/02/20/unrest/.

Grindcore will be released on Unspeakable Axe Records March 24. Pre-order the album at: www.unspeakableaxerecords.com/purchase.

“UNREST gets the NASUM grind seal of approval!” – Anders Jakobson – 9/10! – Decibel Magazine

1. We’re Calling You Out
2. You Take
3. Inaction
4. Quit
5. Protest Culture
6. Faith is a Hearse
7. Anything to Shock
8. Nothing (That’s all you have to give)
9. Identity in the Internet Age
10. Consumption
11. False Brotherhood
12. Drown

____________________________

If the band name doesn’t spell it out for you, the album title surely will. This is nothing but grindcore – stripped down, unpretentious, and loud. At the same time, it’s much more than that. UNREST is comprised of craftsmen from bands both familiar (WOE, TRENCHROT and those about to be (Dark Descent’s up-and-coming doom act, CRYPT SERMON).

The riff and song construction throughout this debut album is right in line from what you’d expect from a group of such capable veterans. They wear their NASUM (and by proxy, NAPALM DEATH) influence on their sleeves, but through sheer mastery of the craft, they elevate the material well beyond a mere tribute to old masters.

CinC (Formerly Carnival In Coal) Sign To Kaotoxin Records

Posted in Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags cinc, kaotoxin records, Metal News, metal odyssey on February 22, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Kaotoxin is proud to announce that CinC (formerly known as Carnival in Coal) has signed to the French label. CinC is the live band put together and fronted by ex-Carnival In Coal singer Arno Strobl (We All Die [laughing], 6:33 & Arno Strobl…) to pay homage to his former act.

CinC, which features past and present members of 6:33, Infected Society, Yyrkoon, John Makay, Mercyless, Orakle, Gorod, and Fleshdoll, toured throughout 2014 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Carnival In Coal’s debut full-length, Vivalavida. The album was performed in its entirety on the tour.

The tour took the band to two great festivals (the Czech Republic’s Brutal Assault and France’s Motocultor Fest), as well as many French cities. One of those cities, Amiens, is where it all began for the group several years earlier, and the show was filmed with seven cameras. The resulting DVD, VivaLIVEvida (a tribute to the music of Carnival in Coal), will be released in advance at the farewell gig, which will take place at Kaotoxin’s second annual festival, KaotoxinFest#II, on December 5th, 2015 in Lille, France. The date for the Kaotoxin DVD release will be announced later in the year.

VivaLIVEvida DVD line-up:

Arno Strobl – vocals (We All Die (laughing), ex-6:33 & Arno Strobl)

Fabien Desgardins (Infected Society, ex-Yyrkoon) – guitars

Romain Caron (John Makay) – guitars

Matthieu Merklen (Mercyless) – bass

Emmanuel Rousseau (6:33, Orakle) – keyboards and samples)

Samuel Santiago (ex-Gorod, Fleshdoll) – drums

BEHEMOTH – Revolver Magazine Unveils Exclusive Excerpts From Forthcoming Biography; North American Live Takeover Continues

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags behemoth, blackened death metal, metal books, Metal News, metal odyssey on February 20, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Next week, Metal Blade Records will unleash Behemoth: Devil’s Conquistadors. A definitive BEHEMOTH biography penned by Łukasz Dunaj, the stunning 490-page, hardcover tome takes an in-depth look at the history of the events that materially influenced the band, their music, their ultimate rise to the upper echelon of Metal and becoming a household name in their native homeland of Poland. In addition to the author’s narrative, the book includes quotes and anecdotes from current and former BEHEMOTH members, as well as interviews with Tomas Krajewski, Rob Darken, Graal, Havok, old photos of the band, flyers, lyric sheets and so much more.

In the foreword by Krzysztof Azarewicz (Polish poet, writer, occultist and longtime lyric co-writer): “If, as a cultural anthropologist, I were to point to a single cosmic force which BEHEMOTH’s music expresses, I would name it not Satan but Dionysus. A deity that represents not only the intoxicating influence of cosmic energies and earthly benefits, but also their benevolent healing properties. A deity of strength and pride. A deity of creative might.”

In advance of its release, today Revolver Magazine offers up an exclusive excerpt from the book where vocalist/guitarist Nergal recounts his early grade and high school years, his increasing interest in extreme music and his growing skepticism of Catholicism. Check it out at THIS LOCATION.

In related news, BEHEMOTH is currently damning stages throughout North America on a mammoth co-headlining tour with legendary Death Metal practitioners/labelmates, Cannibal Corpse. The month-long takeover continues to march its way across the country and will trample through nearly three-dozen cities upon its conclusion on March 7th in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Support comes from two of Sweden’s finest Metal exports: Aeon and Tribulation.

Reports The Dallas Observer of the band’s set, “BEHEMOTH’s credo is the power of the will, and it completely permeates their live show… On a starkly lit stage filled with cast-iron ritualistic symbols, vocalist and guitarist Nergal lurched around with the ease of a seasoned performer. He held the audience in his hand, and his performance alone made it plain why BEHEMOTH’s live show is so renowned.”

RABID ASSASSIN – Horror Metal Act Joins HighVolMusic

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags metal albums 2015, Metal News, metal odyssey, rabid assassin on February 18, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Horror heavy metal band RABID ASSASSIN has signed a worldwide deal with HighVolMusic for the release of their debut CD ‘Eliminate the System’. Formed in 2013, RABID ASSASSIN is comprised of Thane Farace (Ghost of War) vocals/guitar, Chad Bedsaul – guitar, Dan Delaney – bass, and Corey Brooks – drums.

Plotting their course of mayhem, RABID ASSASSIN gave fans an early taste of what was to come during their live shows. The band has already shared the stage with metal acts such as Raven, Generation Kill, Metal Mike Chlasciak, Michael Angelo Batio, Reverence and Resistence. After cutting their teeth in the mid-atlantic and fine tuning their sound, the band entered the studio with renowned producer Drew Mazurek to record ‘Eliminate the System’.

RABID ASSASSIN has already gained the attention of strong industry players such as Epiphone, Wornstar Clothing, Jagermeister, Pig Hog Cables, Red Beard Leather, Steve Clayton, Ernie Ball, and Deville Ink Tattoo who are all endorsers and/or sponsors of the band.

Strong believers in the U.S. Constitution, ‘Eliminate the System’ takes on the challenging issues that plague the world today. “The songs are straight forward and hit on topics that everybody can relate to but which most are scared to talk about. It runs the gamut of everything that is messed up in the world today. The CD is a testimony of all the hard work that the band has done.” says frontman Thane Farace.

“This project is something very different for HighVolMusic and I was excited that Thane contacted me about working with him. RABID ASSASSIN in its simplest form is just great heavy metal and diversifies the label.” – Bill Chavis CEO HighVolMusic

‘Eliminate the System’ is set for a late May release but the band is holding a special private CD release party April 11th at The Ballroom in Waynesboro, PA.

Track listing:

Presidential Lies
Eliminate the System
Taker – listen
War Machine
I Hate
Message From The Devil
The Deal
In For The Kill – listen
Ass, Gas or Grass
Everybody
