Unspeakable Axe Records has released a two-song split CD from CIST and SOLSTICE. Check out the promo trailer at this location or below. Pre-orders are being taken here.

Relative newcomers, CIST hail from Russia, and their Death/Pestilence-influenced style of Death Metal makes a natural pairing with underground legends SOLSTICE, whose early albums are classics of Death/Thrash metal. This is just a 2-song split to serve as an appetizer for things to come from both bands, and it’s priced accordingly at a measly $5!

VOID OF SLEEP – Progressive Occult Metal Visionaries To Release “New World Order” Full-Length Via Aural Music; Artwork, Track Listing + Video Teaser Posted

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, rock music with tags , , , on September 14, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Void Of Sleep - New World Order - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #339939MMNMOSS99

Italian Progressive Occult Metal visionaries, VOID OF SLEEP, will release their sophomore full-length next month via Aural Music. Titled, New World Order, the seven track concept album and follow-up to 2013’s acclaimed Tales Between Reality And Madness long player was captured by bassist Riccardo Pasini (Ephel Duath, The Secret) at Studio73 in Ravenna, Italy and mastered by Collin Jordan (Eyehategod, Indian, Wovenhand, Voivod etc.) at The Boiler Room in Chicago, Illinois.

New World Order represents to us a new culmination of our sound,” issues of the band of their latest compositions. “Now more than ever you can call it visionary, sludgy and progressive. It’s an occult, esoteric and wicked metaphor to the modern society as we consider it: with no positive expectations of the future of this world. This album embraces the concept of evil in its purest form. Since the beginning, man has been doomed to consume and enslave and destroy his own kind in an absurd discord to the final extinction.”

New World Order comes shrouded in the arcane cover creation of Simone Bertozzi who relays of the work, “while doing it I experienced the breath of Lucifer on my back, the Illuminati around the corner and reptilians getting ready for my abduction. Coincidence? I think not.”

New World Order – Track Listing:
1. The Devil’s Conjuration
2. Hidden Revelations
3. Slaves Shall Serve
4. Ordo Ab Chao
5. Lords Of Conspiracy
6. New World Order
7. Ending Theme (l. Mourn ll. Triumphant lll. Void)

Forged in Ravenna, Italy, VOID OF SLEEP – guitarist Gale, vocalist/guitarist Burdo, drummer Allo and bassist Paso – conjure a cosmic amalgam of stoned out, progressive sludge rock where epic rhythms melt into bottom heavy doom breakdowns, complex time signatures and psychedelia.

Void Of Sleep - New World Order - promo album banner - 2015 - #033069MOMNSS3

Following a three-song promo EP, Giants & Killers, which garnered the attention of Italian imprint, Aural Music, the band released their full-length debut, Tales Between Reality And Madness. Crowned, “adventurous, intelligent and refreshingly addictive,” by Teeth Of The Divine and an “underground gem worth discovering,” by Metal Underground, the record proved wholly engrossing both sonically and thematically with lyrics exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche, oneiric visions and lysergic nightmares. With New World Order, VOID OF SLEEP continues their multi-faceted, audio journey towards oblivion.

VOID OF SLEEP‘s New World Order will be available via Aural Music on CD in Europe on October 16th and in North America on November 13th. The record will be available digitally worldwide on October 19th, with vinyl available in the New Year. Preorders to be available soon.

REX SHACHATH – Announce New Record ‘Revocation Of The Blood Elect’

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, news, rock music with tags , , , , on September 14, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

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

Having laid low since the end of 2014, Northern Irish Death Metallers Rex Shachath have suddenly announced their return and are back for blood with a brand new record which will be out November 20th via Great Dane Records.

Entitled Revocation Of The Blood Elect, this new EP might not be what people are expecting if they’re familiar with the band’s debut offering Sepulchral Torment. Since that release, the band have had time to coalesce and where Sepulchral Torment had more of a ‘old school’ sound, Revocation Of The Blood Elect is an entirely new animal. 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 on their forthcoming record.

Old school ideals kneaded with modern Death Metal notions on a much more up to date and punchier production is what we have here. Revocation Of The Blood Elect carries a sound as big, if not bigger, than its message.

Vocalist and lyricist Dave Connolly sums the record up with a quote from French philosopher Denis Diderot, “Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

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.

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

VASTUM – Cult San Francisco Death Metal Horde To Release Third LP, “Hole Below”, Via 20 Buck Spin This Fall

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on September 14, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Vastum - promo band pic - 2015 - #003339MMNSS

Through the verbose horror of their first two LPs (2011’s Carnal Law and 2013’s Patricidal Lust) San Francisco’s VASTUM sadistically carved a jagged dripping wound into an increasingly reductive American Death Metal scene. One of the most lyrically unique, creative and disturbing bands in underground Metal, now arising for their third full length album, VASTUM plumbs the depths of internalized agony and degradation farther than ever on Hole Below.

Characterized by a deeply cavernous trudge through gut churning heaviness, Hole Below both bluntly crushes and rigorously shreds to conceive fully formed grotesqueries of debased brutality. Guitarist Leila Abdul-Rauf wields her axe with the experienced slice of a masked executioner, quartering savage riffs and twisting leads alongside the thunder of guitarist Shelby Lermo. The abhorrent vocal (and lyrical) morbidity traded by imposing frontman Daniel Butler and Abdul-Rauf continues to be the most formidable combination in Death Metal. The intimidating rhythm section of bassist Luca Indrio and drummer Adam Perry steer the war machine through the pooled blood and skull fragments scattered amidst the debauched iniquity of this peculiar hell.

Three albums in, VASTUM has honed their disturbed masochism into a sound manifestly their own and true to the core of the purest darkest Death Metal. Crushingly recordead at Earhammer Studios in Oakland and mastered at Audiosiege by Brad Boatright, the art for Hole Below was created by vocalist Daniel Butler. 20 Buck Spin (also responsible for the release of the band’s prior two albums) presents Hole Below as one of the finest and best executed examples of the genre this year.

Hole Below will emerge on CD and digital formats on November 6th, with the LP to follow in December. Fans of Bolt Thrower, Grave, Death, Asphyx, Shroud Of The Heretic, Cruciamentum and the like are hereby on notice.

VASTUM will strike with new tour dates in support of Hole Below, including the band’s debut East Coast performances which are being slabbed for early November. Stand by for tour specifics in the coming days.

Hole Below – Track Listing:
1. Sodomitic Malevolence
2. Amniosis
3. In Sickness And In Death
4. Intrusions
5. Hole Below (A Dream Of Ritual Abuse)
6. Empty Breast

VASTUM:
Daniel Butler – vocals
Leila Abdul-Rauf – guitars/vocals
Shelby Lermo – guitars
Luca Indrio – bass
Adam Gailey – drums

As reported by Kevin Cronin, (lead singer, musician and songwriter for REO Speedwagon), on the band’s Facebook:

Hi friends, kc here. My longtime friend and collaborator Gary Richrath passed away earlier today. I feel so sad. Gary was both a unique guitarist and songwriter, and the embodiment of the tough guy with a heart of gold. I learned most of what I know about being in a rock band from Gary Richrath. The entire REO Family mourns his death and shares in the grief of his family, friends, and fans. These words do not come close to expressing the depth of emotions I am feeling at this time…kc

HYPERMASS – Shines Through “Clouded Visions” On Début EP

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on September 13, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Hypermass - Clouded Visions - promo album cover pic - 2015 - #03339NMMSSOT

Not all stones are stationary: Hypermass may recall images of huge monoliths, but these structures have speed! From the far-flung climes of Trondheim, Norway, Hypermass are a genre-melding Extreme Metal band whose goal is to draw upon the melody of death, black and thrash metal, and occasionally throw in some prog and jazz influences too. Clouded Visions is the result of intense jamming in these genres.

Sindre Dagestad, guitarist, commented on the recording process:Since we didn’t have a producer there to tell us how much we sucked, we really went hard on ourselves to get the best result possible. It was a great experience, and all that hard work quickly paid off when we heard the amazing mixing/mastering job done by Stamos Koliousis, as he really breathed new life into the music.

You can check out lead single “Embracing Erasion” on the band’s YouTube account below or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjJmFcz85qw

The EP is available on Bandcamp below or here: http://hypermass.bandcamp.com/album/clouded-visions

Track Listing is as follows:
1. Intro
2. Ionized
3. Embracing Erasion
4. In The Final Stage Of Embryonic
5. Clouded Visions

RIYL: Revocation, The Black Dahlia Murder, Allegaeon

Hypermass - promo band pic - 2015 - #0303MMNSS99

Hypermass:
Markus Sundet – Vocals
Thomas Pedersen – Guitar
Sindre Dagestad – Guitar
Marius Grindflek – Bass
Brage Kråbøl – Drums

___________________________

BAND BIO:

Hypermass is a Melodic Death Metal band hailing from Trondheim, Norway. Formed in 2012, the quintet first garnered attention from the local scene by fusing all kinds of different subgenres together, with elements of Black, Death, and Thrash Metal all while heavily relying on melody. Since releasing their first demo Into Oblivion in late 2013, the band have refined and focused their sound to a tight and extreme style of Metal, without forsaking the all-important melody.

In the summer of 2014, the band attended music high school and started writing their debut EP. Their bassist Martin Nordvik departed into the military, where he still serves. They got the interest of other bass players and quickly settled on the skilled Marius Grindflek. Their debut EP Clouded Visions was recorded in February 2015 by the band at the school (Trøndertun Folkehøgskole).

The band contacted several mixing/mastering engineers, before agreeing that Stamos Koliousis was the right choice, mostly for his incredible work with his own band Mencea. Now that the EP has been released and available worldwide, the band is currently in the early stages of writing their debut full-length.

Re-Armed - promo EP pic - 2015 - #33033MMNSS

Total Lack of Communication
Meant to be Broken
Unhuman

Re-Armed have been around since 2001, when five guys from Kerava, Finland decided to start playing similar music likened to so-called “Gothenburg metal.” Their musical style has evolved along with many critically acclaimed demo tapes, gigs, lineup changes and a well-received debut album Worldwide Hypnotize, which was released internationally on January 2012 via Massacre Records. After releasing their debut, the band supported names such as Chimaira, Suffocation, Origin, Cattle Decapitation and Cryptopsy for the tours in Europe. In this year Re-Armed also made their first big outdoor festival appearance at Bloodstock Open Air at Catton Hall in the UK.

The second album Rottendam was released on January 2014 via Eternal Sound Records, but major lineup changes froze the band almost for a year. Former guitarist/songwriter Tommi Helkalahti decided to leave the band, leaving vocalist Jouni Matilainen as the only current former member in the band.

RE-ARMED:

Jussi Venäläinen – Guitars

Juhana Heinonen – Bass and Backup Vocals

Jouni Matilainen – Lead Vocals

Mika Oinonen – Guitars and Backup Vocals

Iiro Karjalainen – Drums

CRETUS – Releases “Dux Mea Lux” On Pavement Music; New Music Video Streaming

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags , , , on September 13, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Cretus - promo band pic - 2015 - #63639 - MO1NYG

Pavement Music has released Dux Mea Lux, the debut EP from Louisiana-based thrash collective CRETUS. After a year spent casting their enigmatic shadow over the famed NOLA Metal scene, the worldwide release of Dux Mea Lux will see the band’s message and music delivered to the masses. Select tracks from the EP are streaming at:

https://soundcloud.com/followcretus

Dux Mea Lux is available on iTunes and through the Pavement Music store.

CRETUS recently released the official music video for “Price of Immortality.” The uncut version of the video, which features NSFW content, is now playing at the band’s website – www.FollowCretus.com.

A censored version of the video has been posted below or at this location.

CRETUS’ music is hard-hitting thrash metal at its core; mathematically precise riffs, dive-bombing guitar solos, and thundering drums pummel the listener and their compelling melodies and bizarre pop sensibility make each song from Dux Mea Lux subtly addictive.

Cretus - Dux Mea Lux - - promo cover pic - 2015 - #3300WAOSF

Rock vet Pepper Keenan (DOWN, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY) has been singing the mysterious group’s praises, stating: “CRETUS is a killer band with ripping guitar work and clear vocal hooks.  For sure a future global outfit.  They wear masks and slaughter virgins on stage. Need I say more?”

“Cretus have put together a five-song set that is full of occult themes that are sure to summon the youth of today” – SkullsNBones.com

While it is unknown exactly when or where CRETUS formed, they began publicly spreading their message through music in 2014, with the group rapidly gaining strong support after their first show opening for legendary metal band DOWN in New Orleans. Devout followers of CRETUS pack into shows wearing the group’s signature black masks and cloaks, bobbing their heads in support as hypnotic lights pulse and dense fog surrounds them, becoming a raving heavy metal congregation unable and unwilling to escape the dark energy emanating from the speakers.

Multi-sensory performance rituals such as sacrificial demonstrations and strange pagan rites add an even more ominous tone to the already frightening spectacle of the four masked figures destroying the stage. Heavily symbolic imagery, esoteric subject matter, and poetic lyrics give listeners something deeper to latch onto with CRETUS, and Pavement Records is proud to have released their debut EP.

Dux Mea Lux was released worldwide on September 4, 2015.

BATTALION OF SAINTS – West Coast Punk Icons To Release 7-Inch Via Southern Lord In October; Reissues And Live Dates On The Horizon

Posted in Music, music news, punk rock bands, rock music with tags , on September 13, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Battalion Of Saints - promo 7 inch cover pic - 2015 - #9369MMNSS033

Southern Lord proudly announces the raging return of legendary West Coast punk heathens, BATTALION OF SAINTS. Led by surviving member George Anthony, the band has three furious brand new songs that kick ass just as effectively as their classics. The Battalion Of Saints 7″ will be released in October via Southern Lord.

BATTALION OF SAINTS was a major catalyst in accelerating the transition from the already upbeat, adrenaline-charged punk of the early 1980s in to feral, snarling hardcore punk of the highest quality and intensity. Pounding distorted pace, live shows dripping with sweat and threat, and a gnarly attitude – BATTALION OF SAINTS stands tall among bands from the era including the Dead Kennedys, Crucifix, Minor Threat and Discharge as well as Southern Lord’s Poison Idea, The Offenders and Excel, remaining a crucial part of an immortal and ongoing legacy.

Founding vocalist George Anthony leads the charge in 2015, joined by a no-nonsense lineup of hardcore convicts; drummer Mike Vega plays in legendary cult thrashers Hirax, while Matt Vicknair has spent time on bass in equally eminent USHC hardcore royalty Angry Samoans and the band now sees guitarist Nate Javier, also of Angry Samoans and others, joining the lineup.

Battalion Of Saints - clear vinyl - 7 inch - promo pic - 2015 - #333MMIL

Dark Descent Records To Release GRAVE RITUAL’s “Morbid Throne”

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, rock music with tags , , , on September 11, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Grave Ritual - promo band pic - 2015 - #0990MMF

Five years removed from their acclaimed debut album, the maniacs of Grave Ritual have re-emerged from the crypt with Morbid Throne. The band’s newest burnt offering delivers nine tracks of blasphemous, old-school Death Metal in the vein of Incantation, Death and Autopsy. Dark Descent Records will release Morbid Throne October 30 on CD, LP and digital formats. Cover art for the album was done by Daniel Desecrator.

Formed from the ashes of Alabama bred duo Meathole Infection in 2009, Grave Ritual’s sole purpose is to create dark and primitive Death Metal. The band’s self-titled demo was released in 2009. A year later, Dark Descent Records released Grave Ritual’s first full-length album, Euphoric Hymns from the Altar of Death. Since the release of their debut album, Grave Ritual has focused on perfecting their devastating live assaults, sharing the stage with such bands as Proclamation, Revenge, Black Witchery, and Inquisition. They have played Rites of Darkness II and III, as well as several appearances at Destroying Texas Fest. The band is now stationed in New Orleans. Grave Ritual’s highly anticipated second full-length album, Morbid Throne, is set for release in late 2015 on Dark Descent records.

Alongside CD and Digital preorders, a crowdfunding campaign will be launched for 12″ LP and cassette tape versions.

OTARGOS will also be touring Europe with label-mates THE NEGATION and SIDIOUS from October 26th to 31st. The “Xeno Kaos Tour” will be split in two parts. The first leg will see OTARGOS invade the UK with THE NEGATION and SIDIOUS. The second will take the band across Europe with THE NEGATION. OTARGOS will also co-headline the second KaotoxinFest alongside CinC (ex-CARNIVAL IN COAL) on December 5th – 6th in Lille, France.

ANTROPOFAGO – Releases “Helter Skelter” Digital Single With Bonus Sepultura Cover Track

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags , , on September 10, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

ANTROPOFAGO_Picture-01_CC - 2015 - #33MMNSS04

French Death Metallers Antropofago have just released a brand new digital single for Helter Skelter, taken from the band’s latest full-length Æra Dementiæ. The single includes a bonus cover version of Sepultura’s classic Arise, which has been part of the Antropofago’s live set for quite some time now.

“Helter Skelter” is available for FREE download at the link below:

www.kaotoxin.com/product-category/kaotoxin-artists-releases/antropofago/

Four years after their debut full-length, Beyond Phobia, Antropofago further explore the depths of human psychosis with Æra Dementiæ, a dementia-based concept album that continues the chilling look into phobia that was its predecessor. The album sees Antropofago reach new levels of technical prowess, production and artistic maturity.

Still as diverse in its approach of technical Death Metal, the new material is marked with well-placed doses of brutality and addictive choruses to make Æra Dementiæ the breakthrough album for Antropofago! Featuring a special guest solo by Nicolas Alberny (Gorod) and guest vocals by label-mates Laurent Chambe (Nephren-Ka), Aara (ex-Savage Annihilation), Benoit Jean (ex-Insain) and other surprise contributors, the album is full of hidden little gems and the over-the-top musicianship.

With the first pressing limited to 500 copies, Kaotoxin Records released the album on August 14th as a deluxe DigiSleeve double CD featuring an expanded version of the band’s 2012 Between Fear and Madness EP. Further physical and digital editions will be released on the same day as two separate releases, with Æra Dementiæ and Between Fear and Madness [Redux] sold individually.

Praise for Æra Dementiæ:

“A rare Beast!” – No Clean Singing

“A very strong album” – Wonderbox

“You cannot help but be impressed” – RAM

SATAN – New Track From British Heavy Metal Titans Playing At Decibel; “Atom By Atom” Preorders Available

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, rock music with tags , , , on September 9, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Satan - Atom By Atom - promo cover pic - 2015 - #MMSMS006363

Atom By Atom, the forthcoming new full-length from British Heavy Metal titans, SATAN, will see release via Listenable Records on October 16th. Recorded at Newcastle’s First Avenue Studios, and mixed and mastered by Dario Mollo (Crossbones, The Cage, Voodoo Hill) who helmed the band’s 2013’s critically acclaimed comeback album Life Sentence, Atom By Atom includes a collaboration with Angel Witch’s Kevin Heybourne as well as the striking cover renderings of Eliran Kantor (Testament, Sodom, Sigh, Iced Earth etc.) who crafted the art for SATAN‘s previous opus.

Issues guitarist Steve Ramsey of the upcoming full-length, “We wanted to keep some continuity going with both the look and sound of this album. We’ve been working on the music for nearly two years now and I think people will definitely hear a progression from Life Sentence. I can’t really describe it but I promise you, these songs will speak for themselves.”

In advance of its release, today Decibel Magazine offers up new SATAN hymn, “Fallen Saviour,” for public appreciation noting, “NWOBHM legends SATAN unsuspended their sentence with a vengeance in 2013, conjuring acclaimed comeback album Life Sentence. The quintet is poised to follow it up with Atom By Atom, and second track ‘Fallen Saviour’ is indicative of the ripping evil within.”

Get wicked with “Fallen Saviour,” courtesy of Decibel Magazine at THIS LOCATION.

Satan - Atom By Atom - promo cover pic - 2015 - #MMSMS006363

Founded in Newcastle, England in 1979, SATAN was part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement. Though generally obscure throughout their career, the band is considered influential for playing a form of proto-thrash metal that was fairly advanced by the standards of the early 1980s. Their lineup has undergone a number of personnel changes over the years and even changes in band name. For a time the band was called Blind Fury, putting out one album – 1985’s Out Of Reach – under that moniker before reverting back to SATAN shortly thereafter.

In 1988, the group changed its name again to The Kindred and then yet again to Pariah, releasing two albums under that name before folding in the early ’90s. In 1997 Pariah released another album. The band’s shifting lineup has included members of many other heavy metal bands such as Blitzkrieg, Rough Edge, Pariah, Atomkraft, Avenger, Persian Risk, Cronos and Battleaxe. In 1990, guitarist Steve Ramsey and bassist Graeme English together with singer Martin Walkyier of UK thrash metal band Sabbat founded folk metal act Skyclad.

Atom By Atom will see release on October 16th via Listenable Records. For preorders point your browser to THIS LOCATION

RAM - Svbversvm- promo album cover pic - 2015 - #0033MM7928

Swedish Heavy Metal stalwarts, RAM, are ready to unleash their latest batch of fist-raising anthems to the masses in the form of Svbversvm. The band’s fourth studio LP will be released the 30th of October via Metal Blade Records worldwide. In Europe, the record will be available as a limited CD/DVD digipak, as well as on CD and vinyl.

Comments RAM on their latest offering, “This album is the rebirth of RAM and a natural step to take after Death. For this album, we went back and rediscovered the mass of notes, lyrical ideas and sketches that were created at the very birth of RAM, from around 1999-2001. We saw that these ideas were more valid than ever and still very inspiring. We are very pleased with the album that is the product of four months of being locked up in the studio and offering our very last drop of sweat and blood for it to become the most massive RAM production ever. This is our latest assault upon the rotting world, may it be a dagger in the heart of the powers that may be! Svbversvm is at hand!”

Visit metalblade.com/ram to check out newly released track, “Eyes Of The Night,” as well as exclusive preorder bundles and digital preorders via iTunes.
