Sweden’s masters of dark Progressive Metal, WOLVERINE, have just issued an official lyric video for Machina, the second track on the band’s Sensory Records-bound fifth album, Machina Viva. The “Machina” video is exposed to the public through an exclusive premiere via New Noise Magazine, alongside interesting commentary on the track by the band members.
Tune in to New Noise Magazine and see WOLVERINE’s “Machina” video at THIS LOCATION.
WOLVERINE‘s first title for the Laser’s Edge Metal division, Sensory Records, Machina Viva will see worldwide release on July 8th. A trailer for the album has also been issued right HERE.
Recorded and produced by WOLVERINE in various locations throughout Sweden during the Autumn and Winter months of late 2015 and early 2016, Machina Viva was mixed at Spacelab Studio in Germany by Christian “Moschus” Moos (Everon, Haken, Delain, Cloverseeds), and mastered by Grammy Award winning audio engineer Bob Katz. A natural progression from the band’s previous album, Communication Lost, released in 2011 via Candlelight Records, Machina Viva invites the listener into the harmonious yet portentous and sullen musical dimensions of WOLVERINE with perhaps their most dynamic album to date.
From the fourteen-minute epic and powerful “The Bedlam Overture” and the dark electronic landscapes of “Machina,” to the naked and organic nature of “Pile Of Ash” and “Sheds,” Machina Viva is the next step in Wolverine’s explorations in the progressive field. The layout features microbiological photos by Arturo Agostino and cover art by drummer Marcus Losbjer. Additionally, the CD edition will bear an additional bonus cello version of “Pile Of Ash.”
Additional audio from the album, preorders, tour dates, and more will be issued over the weeks ahead.

Southern California’s Ghoulgotha have re-emerged from the depths with the release of To Starve the Cross. The band’s 2015 debut – The Deathmass Cloak – was praised by critics for its demented revisionism of doom-infused, old-school Death Metal. To Starve the Cross sees Ghoulgotha twist an already abstract reality into forms never before experienced.
Cvlt Nation, in response to the release of The Deathmass Cloak, said it was time to “posers the door.” To Starve the Cross is the 10-headed beast ready to devour those who didn’t heed that warning. This album, simply put, is a masterpiece of atonal and dissonant Death Metal delivered straight from the warped mind of Wayne Sarantopoulos (Decrepitaph, Encoffination, et. al).
The band has posted a video for album track “The Sulfur Age” at this location or inhale it below:
To Starve the Cross was mixed and mastered by Damian Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studios with artwork by Mattias Frisk. Dark Descent will unleash this monster June 13 on CD and digital formats with vinyl treatment coming soon after.

First step of the newly sealed pact will be the release of FLAYED’s brand new EP this fall, supported by a new tour in November. Until then, catch the frantic stage-crushing machine’s live performances at the following events and stay tuned for more infos!

SHAI HULUD is currently in Europe on tour in support of their Sincerely Hated EP and most recent full-length, Reach Beyond The Sun. Following their return to the US, they will immediately embark upon a brief run of East Coast dates, with a few stops in Canada.
Elaborates mainman Matt Fox:”Hello friends. Here are a couple of Summer dates in the US and Canada, followed by four dates in Japan with our dear friends in Endzweck. See yous there? Excellent. We’re looking forward to it. Very Mean Pete of Remembering Never/xBishopx will be fronting us because Henry Rollins has called in sick. It happens. If there are any more shows this year, they will be sporadic and most likely in unlikely places so come rage while you can. The rest of the year we will be writing new music so we can attempt to cut our usual time in-between full-length albums by one full year. Exciting, ain’t it? We think so, too. Love. Respect. Hate. Piss. Moan. Sincerely Hated, Your friendly neighborhood SHAI HULUD.”

Norwegian Punk/Hardcore killers OKKULTOKRATI are currently immersed in the completion of their fourth full-length album, and first for Southern Lord Recordings, this week divulging new details on the impending album.
OKKULTOKRATI has been occupying Malabar Studios, in Oslo, working closely with engineer Emil Nikolaisen of Serena-Maneesh, who also recorded their Snakereigns LP, recording around the clock, capturing the tracks as they would on stage, void of click tracks or tutoring tactics. The band also announces a new member to the outfit, as Feffe Severin joins the lineup on synth, as they attempt to add new elements of otherworldliness to their already diverse sound. Severin becomes the fifth member of OKKULTOKRATI, joining vocalist Henning, guitarist Erik Svarte, bassist Boris, and drummer Lars.
Upon hearing the current mixes, Southern Lord owner Greg Anderson called the album, “Fucked up in all the right places! Super original and I can say that I’ve definitely never heard anything like this! Visions of Bauhaus and Dark Throne listening to Joy Division albums by torchlight in the dark forests of Oslo.”
The as-yet-unnamed new LP is being completed for Autumn 2016 release through Southern Lord; stand by for additional details to be issued shortly.
Southern Lord is currently preparing for the reissues for two of OKKULTOKRATI‘s prior LPs – their 2012-Snakereigns and 2014-released Night Jerks LPs – which were originally released via Norwegian lab Fysisk Format. These two albums will see re-release on LP, and both combined on one CD, next Friday, May 6th; preorders are available HERE.
European tour dates for the year are imminent, and the band is planning to storm North American shores for the first time in support of the new LP.
OKKULTOKRATI makes it their business to tear apart the Rock ‘n’ Roll guidebook and mash it in to vicious combat music for fans of punk, d-beat, Black Metal and generally anyone with a penchant for unsavory anthems delivered with inimitable attitude. They have earned a ferocious reputation for siphoning elements of disparate genres in to their toxic, distorted brew, a trait that can be observed across the whole of the Black Hole Crew collective encompassing Haust, Dark Times, Blood Suckers, Drugged SS, and others.
Once the sheer slamming force of their tunes has sunk in, the iconoclastic quintet has a tendency to pull the rug from under the whole contraption, sending their tracks tumbling in to experimental and industrial forays that further their capacity to ensnare the listener in their bear trap.

NJ/NY Crossover Thrashers ZAMBONI have changed their name to NUCLEAR HATRED, based on a notification from Frank J. Zamboni & Co, Inc. concerning trademark infringement. The band has repackaged their self-titled debut with the new name, which is now available for purchase and streaming at the link below:
https://nuclearhatred.bandcamp.com/album/nuclear-hatred
The debut album features the bombastic bass and booming vocals of Chris Butera and the RAMONES-esque buzzsaw riffing guitars of Robert Orr.
The album is also available from CD Baby at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/nuclearhatred, and will be coming to Spotify, Amazon and iTunes in the very near future.

The band began recording their self-titled debut in 2014, with a myriad of issues and time constraints leading to drummer Robert Padilla’s unofficial departure and a plethora of delays. Two years later, the album is finally complete and ready to cause riots in the streets.
Due to the band’s longstanding drummer dilemmas, Orr and Butera have decided to go the route of Agoraphobic Nosebleed by both recording and playing live with programmed drums, proving once and for all that no band is more awful than the dreaded NUCLEAR HATRED. The band is already recording new material for their next release!
Hailing disrespectively from Brooklyn, NY and Wantage, NJ comes the worst band ever to attempt any form of music – NUCLEAR HATRED.
Formed in October 2010, the crossover two-piece began life in the ashes of Butera’s former thrash metal band Obliterator, whom Orr once saw open for Hexen, Mantic Ritual and Rattlehead at The Meatlocker in Montclair, NJ. Butera had a vision for something “so stupid and offensive it had to work.” Fusing a lethal cocktail with ingredients ranging from Carnivore and D.R.I. to NWA and the Wu Tang Clan,the original lineup consisted of Butera, Orr and drummer “Nuclear” Nathan Wolff, releasing the “Blood on the Ice” demo, the “Mother of the Resistance EP,” their live album “Live Stupidity” and finally, “Sucks! The Stupid EP” before Wolff left the band due to career and personal reasons.
The band would perform sporadically utilizing various live drummers from either other bands on the same bill or outright pulling random people out of the crowd before Butera would meet Roger Padilla at an Obituary concert in 2012. Padilla joined shortly after and the band continued playing occasional gigs that they would book themselves, mostly to “help out underground touring bands that were coming though the area and needed a show.” Among these bands were Texas’ Insinnerator and Terrorist, Boston’s Sonic Pulse, Sweden’s Six In Line and Alabama’s Cancerslug. NUCLEAR HATRED would also organize and run the annual “Thrash Bash BBQ” festival – which is in its fifth year currently.

Above: Udo Dirkschneider – 3rd from left
From the Dirkschneider Facebook:
Shortly before playing at the sold out “Halle 02” in Heidelberg/Germany, Rock legend Udo Dirkschneider was presented a “Sold Out”Award by his Manager/Booker Frank Süpfle of ITM Agency for the extremely successful DIRKSCHNEIDER tour, where 31 out of 48 Europe shows were sold out!
“It’s unbelievable, I never expected this tour to be so overly successful,” Udo comments, “It’s beautiful to see how many people walk with me on my personal way of saying goodbye to the ACCEPT chapter.”
The singer with the charismatic voice had his musical breakthrough with ACCEPT in the early 80s.
“It’s still so much fun to sing these songs live, they are a part of my biography, but nevertheless it’s about time to turn that page. There was so much talking and speculations about me and ACCEPT, so this is kind of a musical statement from my end – which seems to be very interesting for the fans who came to these shows.”
Due to extremely high requests from fans and promoters, DIRKSCHNEIDER will continue touring until the end of 2016. After the triumph all over Europe in spring 2016, DIRKSCHNEIDER will tour in Israel and Japan, doing a lot of summer festivals afterwards and then touring the US, Russia and Europe in fall and winter 2016.

Following a year of silence, Louisville, Kentucky-based black metal legion ANAGNORISIS announces the band’s triumphant return to action over recent months, as the band is currently heavily entrenched in the pre-production of their impending third album, and will be hitting the studio this weekend to begin the bulk of the actual recording stages.
ANAGNORISIS is currently more than two-thirds of the way through the pre-production of the next full-length chapter in their legacy, having finished all of the song structures and laid down most of the keys, guitars, and bass, and currently in the process of recording vocals. Joining the band for the recording sessions is drummer Cody McCody, also of Černá, Boreworm and others, the ANAGNORISIS lineup currently completed with vocalist Zachary Kerr, keyboardist Samuel Hartman, guitarist Zak Denham, and bassist Josh Mumford.
This Friday, ANAGNORISIS will enter The Tracking Room Studios in Nashville (Megadeth, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Taylor Swift) to track the drums for the new album. The rest of the recording will be engineered by Denham at his home studio where the band recorded their acclaimed Beyond All Light LP. The new album will be completed over the next month for Fall 2016 release on LP and CD through Germany-based Vendetta Records, who has been responsible for titles from Thou, Funerary, Usnea, Abstracter, and many others, and on cassette through Yehonala in Europe and Like Young Records in the US.
ANAGNORISIS self-released their second album, Beyond All Light, in mid-2013, the album stampeding its way into top-tier media outlets. Stereogum called the record, “epic, melodic, technically flawless black metal that is somehow also brutal, raw, and kinetic: The whole thing is somehow equal parts Dissection and Nails,” – and even awarded the record the #19 slot in their 50 Best Metal Albums Of 2013 List – and Pitchfork proclaimed, “An album of massive builds, harsh climaxes, and ambitious track lengths, Beyond All Light necessitates a monstrous finale… Where other acts might break the momentum, ANAGNORISIS simply pile layers beneath the musical heap, with the rhythm section somehow growing ever a bit more malevolent.”

On April 30th, ACT OF DEFIANCE will kick off their Spring/Summer tour with their first-ever appearance in the Philippines at Pulp Summer Slam, a festival featuring Lacuna Coil, Protest The Hero, Veil Of Maya, and many more. Following this special fest, the band will hit the road for a round of North American headlining dates as well as shows supporting Hatebreed and DevilDriver on select dates.
ACT OF DEFIANCE guitarist Chris Broderick comments: “I am extremely excited to get back out on the road to tour. Starting with the Pulp Festival, it will be the first time ACT OF DEFIANCE will play on a different continent and I couldn’t think of a better festival to start with. After that, opening up for Hatebreed and DevilDriver will be a great experience for us as both of those bands put on a killer live show and will be awesome to see live. I’m also excited to do some more headlining shows in the US and Canada, meeting more of our fans, and making more friends. I hope to see you all out there.”
Adds drummer Shawn Drover: “For me, going back to the Philippines is something I am really looking forward to – the fans of Heavy Metal there are so amazing and I cannot wait to bring ACT OF DEFIANCE over to the Pulp Summer Slam Festival. As well, I am extremely excited about the ACT OF DEFIANCE 2016 North American tour – both headlining and playing several shows with Hatebreed, which will be crushing. Come out and rage with us!”

ACT OF DEFIANCE – featuring Chris Broderick (ex-Megadeth), Shawn Drover (ex-Megadeth), Matt Bachand (Shadows Fall/Times Of Grace), and Henry Derek (Scar The Martyr) – will be touring in support of their recently released album, Birth And The Burial.
In a time of endless subgenre classifications, ACT OF DEFIANCE‘s debut delivers, “perfectly produced, super slick slice of savage, technical modern thrash,” (Terrorizer), that promises to, “destroy your eardrums, as they are uncompromising and unrelenting metal at its very best,” (Powerplay).
