Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on November 20, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Rex Shachath - promo band pic - 2015 - #03033MMMSS

Today Northern Irish Death Metallers Rex Shachath release their latest offering, Revocation Of The Blood Elect, via French label Great Dane Records, and to mark the occasion are streaming the EP in full right here!

https://rexshachath1.bandcamp.com/album/revocation-of-the-blood-elect

Tackling social issues such as the state of modern society and man’s exorbitant desire for wealth at the expense of our natural world, the band have harnessed a sound more befitting to such issues in comparison to their debut release Sepulchral Torment. Old school ideals kneaded with modern Death Metal notions on a much more up to date and punchier production is what we have here.

Rex Shachath- Revocation Of The Blood Elect - promo album cover - 2015 - #33003MMNSS24

Artwork (as seen above), was completed by UK artist Godmachine famed for his work with bands such as Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon, Cannibal Corpse and Job For A Cowboy (to name a few). The EP was recorded, mixed and mastered by Joe Thompson at Sonic Forge Studio, Cardiff, Wales.

Check out the video for title track ‘Revocation Of The Blood Elect’!

https://youtu.be/dXTWp-7pPCs

Track Listing:

  1. Atonement Through Atrocity
  2. Impious Axiom
  3. Revocation Of The Blood Elect
  4. Within The Temple Of Disgust (Featuring Ben McCrow)
  5. Colossus Rise

www.facebook.com/rexshachath

What the press have said:

“Death metal with venomous attitude!” – The Metal Gods Meltdown

“…punishing rhythms and atmospheric leads…” – Ave Noctum

“Rex Shachath have harnessed musical prowess with the type of agitatory lyrics and attitudes many could learn from.” – Belfast Metalheads

“Rex Shachath are a thoroughly locked in unit. Armed with an arsenal of killer ideas and riffs, displaying at times some Dying Fetus and Suffocation like groove.” – Inside The Coffin

“This is pure, angry metal.” – Glacially Musical

STURMOVIK – “Destination Nowhere” Debut By Polish Crust Act Now Streaming; Album Out This Week On Selfmadegod Records

Posted in Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , on November 19, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Sturmovik - Destination Nowhere - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #MO339900MO

Destination Nowhere, the riotous new debut album by Polish d-beat/crust ragers, STURMOVIK, is out this week via Selfmadegod Records, with the entire album having been made available for streaming.

Arising from the ashes of Wild Bitches, STURMOVIK contains two current members of Polish death metal horde, The Dead Goats – Paweł Bartulewicz and Radosław Pierściński (Neuropathia, ex-Squash Bowels), with the lineup rounded out by Błazej Kasprzak, Mariusz Rzepnicki and Krzysztof Drabikowski.

Recorded earlier this year, the band’s Destination Nowhere debut album boasts nine energetic anthems culminating into a half-hour of powerful, infectious tunes set to smash the system to nothingness. The caustic d-beat/crustpunk with eerie, melodic overtones in the outfit’s delivered attack on Destination Nowhere will undoubtedly be something all fans of Disfear, Wolfbrigade, Genocide SS, Victims, Hellshock and Martyrdöd will want to investigate.

STURMOVIK’s Destination Nowhere has been unchained in its entirety at THIS LOCATION or below:

Destination Nowhere is now available on CD/digital download directly through the Selfmadegod Records webstore HERE or BandCamp HERE. CDs will be available in the US via Selfmadegod’s stateside mailorder outlet, Earsplit Distro, shipping Black Friday, November 27th; place stateside preorders HERE.

An Ocean Of Void - promo band pic - 2015 - #99333MOFNMMS

An Ocean of Void is a five-piece from Bordeaux, France. It is a project that plays hard-to-classify heavy music with plenty of contrasts since 2010. Its inspiration goes from different scenes as Post-Rock, Atmospheric Metal or Progressive Metal, with a Pink Floyd influence clearly established.

After a self-produced demo (2012), the band’s debut album ‘The Great Escape’ will see the light the 4th of December, through Inverse Records. With melancholic nuances and latent sadness, ‘The Great Escape’ is a perfect soundtrack for dark winter days, a real journey through feelings and emotions.

Former MOTÖRHEAD Drummer PHIL “PHILTHY ANIMAL” TAYLOR – REST IN PEACE

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on November 12, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Motorhead - Stones Book - #MO33777LKPAFEC

Shown above: A Motörhead book I own, chronicling the classic era of Motörhead. From L to R: Lemmy Kilmister, Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor and “Fast” Eddie Clarke.

__________________________

As reported on the Official Motörhead Facebook:

Lil’ Philthy…he who once shouted ‘stop wincing about’ on an album…he who fueled many a young boy’s punk/metal hairstyles…he who played the drums with fury and intent…he who liked to call people ‘wazzocks’ once in a while…friend, Roman, Derbyshireman…rest in peace…with much love…

Stone Says:

The staff of Metal Odyssey expresses condolences to the family, Motörhead and friends of Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor.

Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor has now joined Michael Burston aka Würzel up in Rock ‘N Roll Heaven, as the only two Motörhead family members that have passed away way too young. This influential drummer played on a  dozen or so (proper) Motörhead albums and is regarded as a true legend of Rock ‘N Roll by countless fans and peers. I never did get to see Philthy Animal Taylor play live and that is unfortunate. I saw Motörhead in concert after the classic era of this iconic band.

I remember my very first taste of Motörhead was a live bootleg recording of the band; a recording I cherished on a beaten up 8 track tape back around 1982 or so. I never heard anything so awful and yet so wonderful in my life, courtesy of that messed up 8 track. From then on, it has been a love affair I have for Motörhead that I can never let go of.

Motorhead - Ace Of Spades - promo album cover pic - #1980MMO337

Above: Motörhead Ace Of Spades studio album from 1980. Shown L to R: Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor, Lemmy Kilmister and “Fast” Eddie Clarke, the classic era of Motörhead.

As I write this post, one of my favorite Motörhead songs of all-time has begun to play in my brain: One Track Mind. I guess I always assumed that Rock Gods like Philthy Animal Taylor would live forever, it’s always that way for me, unfortunately. Philthy Animal Taylor will live on though, through those classic era Motörhead albums and his musical works that followed.

MetalOdyssey

REST IN PEACE, PHIL “PHILTHY ANIMAL” TAYLOR.

LONG LIVE MOTÖRHEAD.

EYE OF SOLITUDE Release Charity Single – “Lugubrious Valedictory”

Posted in charities, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on November 10, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Kaotoxin - Large Logo - B&W - 2013

Kaotoxin Records has announced that the sales from Lugubrious Valedictory, the brand new digital single from funeral doom act EYE OF SOLITUDE, will be donated to support victims of last month’s fire at Bucharest’s Colectiv club.

“Lugubrious Valedictory” is now available at: 

www.kaotoxin.com/shop/eye-of-solitude-lugubrious-valedictory-digital/

The following message from Kaotoxin Records details charity single’s release:

During the night of October 30, 32 people were killed and 179 wounded at a Metal gig at Colectiv club in Bucharest, Romania. The fire, the worst such incident in Romania in the last 20  years, occurred during a free Metal concert when the band’s pyrotechnics comprising of sparkler firework candles ignited the club’s flammable polyurethane acoustic foam, and the fire expanded very quickly. Most of the victims were poisoned with toxins released from the burning foam.

It’s no secret that both KAOTOXIN and EYE OF SOLITUDE have links with Romania. Kaotoxin staff member, DJ and host of KaosCast Radu C. was born in Romania and we’ve visited the country with him twice, making new friends each time. EYE OF SOLITUDE‘s mainman, Daniel N., was born in Romania too, and has strong connections with the Romanian scene having spent years in the country, played in many Romanian bands and still playing Romanian gigs as often as possible.

Right after the tragedy, Daniel N. decided EYE OF SOLITUDE would release a digital single to raise funds for the families of the ones who sadly perished in this tragic event.

_________________________

Here’s a message from Daniel N. :

This goes out to every Metalhead around: we in EYE OF SOLITUDE would like to show our support and solidarity to the victims in the Colectiv club fire and their families. Amongst them there were old friends, people who have fought to rescue those trapped inside that burning inferno; heroes who now have left behind devastated families, wives, husbands, sons and daughters.

This isn’t media bullshit; this is a wake up and a call to solidarity. This is a moment when everyone should turn their heads around and try to imagine the living Hell these heroes went through to save others. We would like to appeal to all of you guys and help us help the families in those in need right now.

With this charity release we hope to collect as much as possible from you guys and send the money directly to the families of those who perished Friday October 30th, 2015 night. Please remember, brothers and sisters, we are all in the same community, let’s all please be united and supportive. Please remember these people were loving wives, husbands, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters; dear friends… Let’s please do something!

Thank you.

_________________________

All of the proceeds raised from digital sales of the “Lugubrious Valedictory” single, which features a previously unreleased 13+ minute song specially composed and recorded for this charity release, will go directly to EYE OF SOLITUDE who will make sure fans support reaches the ones in need directly.

You can also visit Fundatia Estuar’s donation platform and Facebook page. This is an official non-profit organization from Romania which collects funds for the families of the tragedy’s victims.

IRON MAIDEN – Iconic Metal Warriors Are Cover Feature For Revolver Magazine’s December Issue!

Iron Maiden - Eddie - cover feature - Revolver Magazine - December 2015 - #MOIMNSSM99033

IRON MAIDEN – I just bought this December issue of Revolver at Barnes & Noble today and what a read! The front cover is super badass with the tribal Eddie in all of his gory glory! Whoa! I haven’t purchased a copy of Revolver in a few years, due to the fact that I’m into Zero Tolerance, Metal Hammer and other Metal mags. In addition, the internet itself is where I get 90% of my Metal news as well. However, when this issue stared back at me today, I said: sold!!

I, like countless other Metal and IRON MAIDEN fans are ecstatic that the great Bruce Dickinson has beaten cancer. The Bruce Dickinson feature is a must read. There’s a cool article on Deafheaven too, a band I’ve recently discovered and dig. I haven’t read the Coheed And Cambria or Trivium articles yet; I’ll read them though, of course. This Revolver mag cost me $6.99 (U.S.) and is worth every dime as an IRON MAIDEN collectible. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

This new HELLOWEEN album was released worldwide via the mighty Nuclear Blast Records. I’ve been a fan of HELLOWEEN for decades now and it seems like only yesterday when I purchased the (debut full-length) cassette version of Walls Of Jericho. I still have that cassette from 1985 too. Unbelievable, I know!

One of the finest Metal album releases of 2015 that I purchased back in May is: My God Given Right. I found it at my local Best Buy and there was only one there. This new HELLOWEEN album of European Power Metal has made me feel damn good! There’s that special something about the vocals of Andy Deris and the way HELLOWEEN plays at such a heightened level, with each of their songs. Just an amazing band is HELLOWEEN, both past and present, in my Metal opinion.

When it comes to this Battle’s Won song, I cannot figure out if it’s a pro or anti-war song. Maybe it’s neither? Regardless, I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

There truly is not one average song on My God Given Right. The entire album is killer. If you haven’t bought it yet, do so. You don’t want to miss out on this new HELLOWEEN album, one of my Metal favorites of 2015! Whoa.

Marduk - Frontschwein - promo album cover pic - #2015MMO10

Back in January of this year, Sweden’s legendary MARDUK released their thirteenth studio album, via Century Media: Frontschwein. This is one of the best albums I’ve listened to and enjoyed in 2015, due to it’s undeniable integrity of both Black Metal and Extreme Metal sound, crafted lyrics, along with its completeness as a musical work. It’s an album I highly recommend, in other Metal words.

Below is the music video for the title track: Frontschwein. I hope you enjoy this song and music video as much as I do. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone
