CIRCLE OF CHAOS – Sign With Massacre Records

Circle Of Chaos - band promo pic - B&W - 2013 - #2

From MASSACRE RECORDS:

We’re happy to announce the signing of CIRCLE OF CHAOS from Sweden!

CIRCLE OF CHAOS started out as a project of the band’s guitarist HG Hogström in 2008. As the project developed, he began searching for musicians to complete the band. The original line-up then included HG Hogström (guitars), Thomas Jonsson (bass), Staffan Lundholm (drums), Antonio da Silva (vocals) and Allan Lundholm (guitars).

Dan Swanö mastered CIRCLE OF CHAOS’ debut album Black Oblivion that was released in 2010. It was well received worldwide and the band played their first live shows in Sweden.

In 2011, the band played their first shows abroad, in Germany and Poland, and shared stages with bands like Gun Barrel, Embodying The End and Dawn Of Destiny. At Germany’s Bremer Metal Festival in November 2011, Julian “Julle” Loaiza was introduced as new vocalist.

Circle Of Chaos - Large Logo - B&W

During spring 2012, CIRCLE OF CHAOS released the 5-track album “Twoheaded Serpent”, which was mixed and mastered by King Diamond’s Mike Wead. They went out on a headliner tour in Poland and the Czech Republic and also entered the Emergenza Festival and went all the way to the Scandinavian finals!

CIRCLE OF CHAOS have the ambition to always deliver energetic and captivating live shows. Anders “Atte” Strokirk joined the band as new guitarist in January 2013.

The natural adjustments in the line-up have strengthened and shaped a crew ready to go “all in” and let you know what “Swedish Metal Chaos” is all about!

The band is currently working hard on their upcoming album “Crossing The Line” – with Germán Echiburu on drums – which is set to be released later this year via Massacre Records!

Canadian Metal is represented with potent muscle from HAMMERDRONE and their Blackened EP: Demon Rising. Crunchy, melodic and searing guitars (Rick Cardellini, Curtis Beardy) to melt your eardrums into Metal ecstasy; all the while the vocals of Graham Harris will blanket your surroundings into a melancholy zone of Blackened welcoming acceptance.

Powerful drumming from Vinnie Cardellini provides the quaking and skull splitting ambience, with Steve Greenough administering hellish beats that shall kick the living shit out of your senses. Fabulous songs are all four; with a perfect combination of melodic and extreme to satiate a wide audience of Metal fans.

HAMMERDRONE are as legit as your favorite ale at your favorite watering hole; and this Metal band helps give the underground of Metal its grand reputation it so deserves.  Get your Metal senses scalded by HAMMERDRONE and remember the day I told you to do so.

The Winery Dogs - promo cover pic - 2013

Debut Album Releases On July 23rd, 2013, Via Loud & Proud Records

_____________________________________

As reported on The Winery Dogs Facebook Page:

From MP: I need to correct a huge misconception about The Winery Dogs that I keep seeing floating around the internet… this band was ONLY EVER myself, Richie & Billy!

John Sykes was NEVER a part of this band! Myself & Billy were previously working w John on an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PROJECT (consisting of all strictly John’s material).

When that didn’t pan out, Billy & I began working FROM SCRATCH with Richie (with all 3 of us collaborating together) on an entirely new band…and THAT is when The Winery Dogs were born. It is important that people understand this!!

OK, carry on….thanks! : )

Hellbastard - Sons Of Bitches - promo cover pic

HELLBASTARD – With a mix of Metal that features even a Reggae song (Throw The Petrol Bomb) to conclude this new Sons Of Bitches EP from the legendary HELLBASTARD, the bottom Metal line goes like this:

HELLBASTARD – Sons Of Bitches EP is Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Thrash Metal fans will have no problem feeding Sons Of Bitches into their brains, while Hardcore fans shall appreciate the pissed-off attitude and lyrics that HELLBASTARD administers. Spanning across four decades, the UK’s HELLBASTARD have created, influenced and performed Crust Punk and Thrash; and are an obvious MUST to add to ANY Metalhead’s Metal collection.

Old School and not succumbing to any Metal modernistic trends, HELLBASTARD have once again returned with new material worthy of shouting about across the continents and/or slamming down a 6-pack of ale to. Metal be thy name.

Sons Of Bitches – Track Listing:

Wolfsong

Arcadia

Sons Of Bitches

System Whore

We Had Evidence

Throw The Petrol Bomb

BLACKOUT – New York Psychedelic Doom Trio Unleashes Three-Track Sampler

Blackout - We Are Here - 3 song sampler - promo coverBand To Level Brooklyn’s Acheron This Saturday

_____________________________________

With food, beer and America at the forefront, it only makes sense guitar player/vocalist Christian Gordy and drummer Taryn Waldman would meet at Gordy’s 2011 July 4th cookout in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Waldman, a former Hooter’s waitress turned big time commercial film editor, and Gordy, a one-legged bartender/artist/BBQ enthusiast were an oddball couple for NY’s heavily styled Metal scene. The duo began rapidly banging out monolithic snail-paced riffs that could party as much as they could crush. BLACKOUT — referring to blackout drunk, the absence of light, or a mobster hit on an entire family — was the only appropriate title for the band.

With a three-song demo recorded at the now defunct Headgear Studios in the bag, Waldman set out on the task of stalking and acquiring drum wizard Justin Sherrel for the bass position. The sound filled out and quickly grew like Chuck Berry’s mustache. Now with Sherrel’s nitty-gritty, rhythm-heavy mud beneath an electrical tide of riffs and explosions, the mighty river of sludge was primed to lurch forward.

Blackout - promo band pic - 2013 - #44

In November 2012 BLACKOUT recorded their debut LP, We Are Here, at Vacation Island studio with engineer/producer Rob Laakso (Diamond Nights, Swirlies, Kurt Vile). It’s a six-song relentless banger from beginning to end:  no interludes or acoustic wankery. Fittingly described as “thick, riff-led heavy psych that blends Sleep‘s stoner heyday and classic Melvins stomp with a touch of Rob Crow‘s vocal compression in Goblin Cock,” by The Obelisk in a recent live review, the band is ready for a full-fledged takeover. BLACKOUT will soon be knocking on your door like a hairy, black clad Jehovah’s Witness who wants to smoke you out and listen to Sabbath records.

Until then, rape your speakers with the band’s foundation-crumbling behemoth of a three-track album sampler, currently streaming at their official BandCamp page at THIS LOCATION.

In related news, the trio will be bringing their bottom-heavy audio pillage to the stage this Saturday, June 29, 2013 at Acheron in their hometown of Brooklyn. The FREE daytime party features barbeque from Slam Pigs and Perry Ave. BBQ, additional appearances by Skullshitter, Hector’s Pets, Zoned Out and Cold Ones and DJs spinning rock into the night!
