Sven De Caluwe (Vocals) comments:
“We’re thrilled to be joining the ranks for Listenable Records for our debut full-length album BIG TROUBLE that will be out somewhere next spring!  Listenable has been the home of many quality acts throughout the years and also marked the beginnings of Aborted so in a way it’s like coming home for that nice sundae to tickle your tonsils. Get ready for a massive onslaught of blasts and grooves to run you over like a bulldozer.  The whole thing has been mixed and mastered by the mighty Dave Otero (Aborted, Archspire, Cattle Decapitation, Shadow of Intent) so you know it’s gonna be finger licking good!  Alongside that we have a few other very neat surprises, so stay tuned for more!”

PATHOGENIC – Premiere Video For “Mass Grave Memory”

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , , on November 24, 2024 by Metal Odyssey

Boston’s PATHOGENIC is set to make a triumphant return with the release of Crowned in Corpses, a brutal and immersive display of progressive tech death. This marks their first full-length release in over half a decade, promising a bold evolution of their signature brand of progressive tech death, while retaining the intensity that has defined the band for years.

This is evident in the album’s first single, “Mass Grave Memory.” The band has partnered with Metal Injection for the exclusive premiere of the official music video for the song. Watch now at this location.

PATHOGENIC vocalist Jake Burns reveals the song’s lyrical themes:

“’Mass Grave Memory’ asks the ultimate question: what do we gain when we destroy everything? It’s a vivid portrayal of nuclear war’s aftermath — the searing light, the choking ash, and the silence of a world undone. Above all, it stands as a stark warning of what will await us if humanity loses control.”

Skepsis Recordings will release Crowned in Corpses on February 7, 2025. Pre-order the album now at:

www.skepsisrecordings.com.

Track-listing:
1) Mass Grave Memory
2) The New Rot
3) Dead But Not At Rest
4) Exiled from the Abyss
5) Fragments
6) Crowned in Corpses
7) Drag Your Crosses
8) Silicon Regime

Stream more PATHOGENIC on YouTubeSpotify and Apple Music.

Out of Boston’s depths emerges PATHOGENIC, a force unshackled from hiatus and reborn with Crowned in Corpses. Over 42 punishing minutes, this progressive death metal quintet weaves together labyrinthine riffs, relentless rhythms, and chilling visions of a decaying world.

In 2022, the band’s resurgence was ignited when original vocalist Jake Burns and new drummer Tyler Montaquila joined forces with guitarists Chris Gardino, Justin Licht, and bassist Dan Leahy. Together, they’ve forged a sound that is ferocious, intricate, and unapologetically heavy, delivering metal that demands to be heard.

PATHOGENIC has shared stages with legends like Suffocation, Revocation, and The Faceless, and has annihilated crowds at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and RPM Fest. Known for their high-octane live performances, the band’s energy and command leave audiences with no choice but to headbang furiously.

Set to release on February 7, 2025, through Skepsis Recordings, Crowned in Corpses is a ferocious musical declaration: eight tracks of devastating power and haunting warnings of the darkness that lies ahead.

Australia’s GUTLESS Unleash Debut Album: High Impact Violence

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , on November 23, 2024 by Metal Odyssey

Australian Death Metal brutes, GUTLESS, have released their debut album, High Impact Violence! The album is available on CD and digital formats via Dark Descent RecordsMe Saco Un Ojo is handling vinyl treatment. The cassette edition is available through both labels. Purchase/stream at the following links:

darkdescentrecords.com/shop

open.spotify.com/album/49337ADPFXQa47bR1k0I1u

music.apple.com/us/album/high-impact-violence/1780847912

GUTLESS gave us one of 2018’s filthiest demos. Two years later, we saw a split release with Mortal Wound. Now, six years after that demo, we are finally getting the debut album. Strap in; this one is going to be nauseating…

Instantly they cave in your skull with maniacal riffing and unrelenting drum assaults. If you can’t withstand the might of Death Metal, turn back fast. The equally violent vocal attack will seal the deal as the insanity creeps further into the cemetery, searching for prey. 

GUTLESS has that perfect blend of old-school savagery while retaining their personality and sound that doesn’t feel like a diluted version of a superior band. Snap-neck rhythms and visceral grinding warfare will certainly have even the seasoned maniac tearing at their flesh in morbid ecstasy as this short but sweet opus erupts pus into their ear canal.

If you need more convincing, take a look at that cover art; reminiscent of the 90s while striking in its own right. You had better believe the album is just as damaging as that brick. Contorting and convulsing into tormenting visions of the macabre, GUTLESS contradicts their name by dragging out your entrails repeatedly across eight indomitable cuts of sadism and brutality. The underground still has plenty of bite down under and these fiends proudly showcase one of the nastiest examples you will hear this year!”

Track Listing:

  1. Bashed And Hemorrhaging
  2. Beyond The Catacombs
  3. Scalpel Obsession
  4. Avalanche Of Viscera
  5. Galvanized
  6. Carved Into Existence
  7. Gore God
  8. Viral Infection

Blackened Death Metal Storytellers AOIDOS Present “Trauma” With Video, Ahead Of Forthcoming Album: Oizys

Posted in Black Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , , on October 30, 2024 by Metal Odyssey

Blackened death metal quintet AOIDOS carve out a fusion of haunting melodies and atmospheres from the realms of black metal in conjunction with the power and groove of death. Storytelling is core to the band, whose name AOIDOS means bard in Ancient Greek. Light your fire, pour yourself a drink and prepare for dark and shadowy tales as the band present their new offering, “Trauma”. The single is the first to emerge ahead of the forthcoming album Oizys that is set for release on November 29th, 2024, via Nox Liberatio Records. Watch “Trauma” HERE

Dynamically, AOIDOS sculpt a thrilling soundscape across “Trauma” which encounters high intensity with brief moments that are almost serene. Delicate piano melodies enthrall among the weight of the heavy instrumentation. “Trauma” includes lyrics in the band’s native language – Portuguese. “The chorus is totally in Portuguese”, the band explain, “and it sings the plea of ‘Trauma’, a force that sees itself not as an oppressor, but as a protector, a shield between the victim and the true extent of the tragedies they went through.” 

Tracklist + Running Times:

  1. Dieaed – 01:29
  2. Thrall – 05:56
  3. Fire – 06:26

Full Album Running Time: 49:26

About AOIDOS:
AOIDOS came to be following a night of mead at the iconic Taberna 58, in Coimbra, Portugal, in 2019. Inspired by storytelling and the Aoidos, who were the bards and minstrels of Ancient Greece, the band bring this element into their heavy and ambient style.

Influenced musically by the likes of GOJIRA, BEHEMOTH and WATAIN, alongside classical piano compositions, AOIDOS strive to create a rich and textural soundscape that embraces the fierce energy of death and ethereality of black metal. To date, the band have taken to stages around South West Europe, including festival appearances at Bajonca Rock Fest, Rock dos Romanos, Mosher Fest, Melena Fest. 

Most recently, AOIDOS shared the bill with VADER, SEPTICFLESH and MOONSPELL at Laurus Nobilis Music Festival 2024. With a number of single releases behind them, AOIDOS are now set to unveil their debut album Oizys this November.

Mystic Seance Unrealities takes listeners through ten devilish tracks of obscure Thrashing Death Metal steeped in abstract ideas & peculiar affairs and features artwork by Paolo Girardi (Power Trip, Revocation, The Black Dahlia Murder). Immortal Force also unleashes two covers, one by the mighty Napalm Death and one by gore masters Carcass.

For congregants of all that’s unknown and macabre, Immortal Force‘s debut is a MUST-listen for fans of Master, Nunslaughter, Pestilence, Demilich, Impetigo, Mortician, Deicide, Timeghoul and all late 80’s/early 90’s EVIL!!

Dallas Toler-Wade comments on the track:

“For me, Barbarian is a prime example of me doing the thing I love and that defines me the most. Continuously striving to improve my craft as a musician and a songwriter. But also the overall message of this song. Live!! Be free!! Find your own path!!! Question everything!!! And also we don’t need politicians or religion to shape our moral centers. In fact, It seems they distort the truth every chance they get. This whole album cycle has seemed to have this recurring theme about the narcissistic oligarchy that we have all fallen victim to. I Dallas Toler, Wade the barbarian, will fight this mockery until I leave the land of the living, and even after that, my powerful voice will echo through the halls of time!! Because I am a barbarian!!”

SARCOPHAGUM – Australian Death Metal Act To Unveil Cinematic Debut LP Via Nuclear Winter Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , , on October 20, 2024 by Metal Odyssey

Australia’s SARCOPHAGUM will release their debut full-length, The Grand Arc of Madness, on December 6th, 2024 through Nuclear Winter Records.

The album track “Feudal Futures” is now streaming at THIS LOCATION.

SARCOPHAGUM spawned to life in the early half of 2021, during the time of the plague as a new project featuring Golgothan Remains members past and present. The purpose being to provide a channel to explore new ideas and sounds in a studio-only setting.

The dark death metal realm remains the primary influence and a debut EP, Conduits to the Underworld, was released in 2022 through Nuclear Winter Records, followed swiftly by a stand alone single, “This Wrought Creation”. Now their full length debut is here, The Grand Arc of Madness. Poised to unleash a soundscape of disharmony and terror over the listener, the angular horror awaits…

Both a culmination of their already characteristic aesthetic and a whole new twist upon it, The Grand Arc of Madness sees SARCOPHAGUM fusing clanging angularity with haunting atmospherics, chaos with eerie melodicism, epic narrative with primal crush.

Mixed and mastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios.

Cover art by Khaos Diktator.

Track list:

  1. Ritual Pillars Burn
  2. Feudal Futures
  3. Vermiform
  4. The Grand Arc of Madness

For fans of: Ulcerate, Immolation, Adversarial, Golgothan Remains

MEMBRANCE – Italian Death Metallers To Release New EP: Undead Remains

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news with tags , , , , on September 24, 2024 by Metal Odyssey

Today, Venice death metallers MEMBRANCE announce the release of their new EP Undead Remains out October 11th. With the announcement, the Italian band drops the first single “Corpse For Sale”, alongside a music video. Watch it HERE.

The band commented: “’Corpse For Sale’ is a metaphor of Venice seen as an abandoned corpse adrift, continuously stripped and plundered both by the worms that infest the city (Venetian people willing to sell it off to make money) and by those passing beasts (tourists) who just snatch a filthy morsel before leaving. A carcass that everyone is willing to see before it finally rots away”.

On the EP, MEMBRANCE say:“Undead Remains showcases what’s left from the sessions of our last album Undead Island; these are older and slightly more experimental tracks that the band was still working on during the recording of the full-length. For this reason they were not included in the album, as we wanted to give them more exposure in a subsequent release.

In addition to ‘Corpse For Sale’, among the new tracks with a more experimental style there is ‘Vengeance’s Price’, which features Sara Tacchetto, singer of Vallorch, on vocals. This song is inspired by Shakespeare’s play The Merchant of Venice. Each verse is an act with a different character. The collaboration with Sara was born by entrusting her with two acts in which the protagonist is a woman.

To close this release, we have included a cover that is very dear to us, both for the themes covered and for its impact in the live setting, and a couple of live recordings of our most ferocious and punishing songs.
The artwork was painted by Francesco Cagali in the style of his previous work for us, while the mastering of the EP was handled by Luca Cocconi of Audiocore Studio, precisely to link these songs with the latest full-length Undead Island”.

Tracklist:

  1. Corpse for Sale
  2. Vengeance’s Price
  3. Territory (Sepultura cover)
  4. Acid Satanism (Live)
  5. Tarantula (Live)

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Unleashes Animated Video For “Mammoth’s Hand” – Servitude To See Release September 27th On Metal Blade Records

“Mammoth’s Hand” is the latest single from THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. The track comes by way of the band’s upcoming tenth studio album, Servitude, set for release on September 27th via Metal Blade Records.

“Mammoth’s Hand” is partly inspired by a scene from Don Coscarelli’s 1982 swords ‘n’ sorcery epic, The Beastmaster. “We usually like to give some idea of what kind of diversity is gonna be on the album with the first two tracks we release,” vocalist Brian Eschbach offers. “[Guitarist] Ryan Knight wrote the music for this, and the slow rhythm made me think of these barbaric warriors riding mammoths out in the snow or that scene from The Beastmaster when the Jun horde takes the village.”

Eschbach further elaborates, “‘Mammoth’s Hand’ is a romp through a fictitious frozen tundra in which a clan of nomadic mammoth riding cannibals conquer villages in a time devoid of technology. The slow groove of this song is a vibe not often implemented by the group but immediately inspired a vision in my mind of a slow moving yet gigantic and powerful beast of antagonistic nature.”

Watch THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER’s video for “Mammoth’s Hand,” created by Marco Pavone, at THIS LOCATION.

Watch the band’s previously released video for “Aftermath” at THIS LOCATION.

Servitude will be released on digipak CD, cassette, and digital formats. Find preorders at: metalblade.com/tbdm.

Comments SIX FEET UNDER vocalist Chris Barnes, “After more than a decade long hiatus of SIX FEET UNDER touring the States, I’m super excited and very much looking forward to our upcoming co-headlining tour with our old friends, Nile! It’s gonna be a motherfucking ripper!”

Tickets are on sale now at THIS LOCATION. See all confirmed dates below.

A gnarly beast of a record that’s not for the faint-hearted, Killing For Revenge dishes up nightmare-inducing imagery courtesy of Barnes via the vocalist’s trademark guttural vocals. Both the album title and darkly detailed red-hued album cover by artist Vince Locke are perfect containers for the brutality within.
