Of course, we’ll keep you informed about each next step in recordings regularly. STAY ALERTED!!!!”

____________________________

THUNDERWAR BIO:

Cold as ice, angry as a horde of Viking warriors and determined like an army fighting for freedom of their homeland: THUNDERWAR! The band was born in 2013, when four young metal maniacs decided to join their forces to not only pay tribute to such Metal heroes as BATHORY, UNLEASHED, DISSECTION and AMON AMARTH, but to prove that Poland once again has something to say to the Metal world.

The band’s debut EP “THE BIRTH OF THUNDER” was mixed and produced by the Wieslawscy Bros from HERTZ STUDIO (BEHEMOTH, VADER, DECAPITATED). Their logo was designed by Christophe Szpajdel (EMPEROR, MOONSPELL, DESASTER) and the cover artwork of “The Birth of Thunder” EP was created by Mario Lopez.

Critical Praise:

“Germany’s Slaughterday have the gumption (and instinct) to take T. Gabriel Fischer’s get-up-and-say-Hey! vox, back it with tested-and-true Oakland CA death/doom found in the collection of every serial killer, and inject the mishmash with a Swedish melodic sensibility cultivated from the early ’90s to present.” – Worm Gear ‘Zine

Comatose Music has announced the February 4 release of Violence and the Macabre from Philippine Brutal Death Metallers DOWN FROM THE WOUND.

The results see the band return with 50 minutes of flesh-shredding Southeast-Asian brutality with old-school atmosphere and organic production.

DOWN FROM THE WOUND are no strangers to the death metal scene; they have been punishing eardrums since 2002 with their nasty combination of inhuman breakdowns and technical riffing reminiscent of bands like DISGORGE, GORGASM and LUST OF DECAY. On February 4 violence will prevail.

An early preview, in the form of album track “Schematic Fraud,” is now available for streaming at www.comatosemusic.com/site.

BONES – To Release “Sons Of Sleaze” On November 18th, Via Planet Metal

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on November 15, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Bones - Sons Of Sleaze - promo cover pic - 2013

BONES – Chicago’s filthiest trio marches out of the sewers of hell with twelve freshly severed slabs of Death Metal sleaze! BONES is back with Sons of Sleaze, the follow-up to their 2011 self-titled release. Recorded with famed producer Sanford Parker (Lair of the Minotaur,Nachtmystium), Sons of Sleaze will be out November 18th on Planet Metal.

Check out album track “Maggots” below:

Sons of Sleaze delivers its unfair share of nasty surprises, incorporating violent blasts and low-tuned slime with a dirty rock-and-roll backbone that has never been more apparent, especially when it comes to Jon Necromancer’s undead belch!  The impossibly heavy combination of Necromancer’s bass and Carcass Chris’s muscular guitar riffs is once again captured in all its devastating glory, and drummer Joe Warlord’s huge vocabulary of patterns and fills keeps the energy level in the red for the entire 37-minute beating that is Sons of Sleaze.

Held together by a cover that could only be called “a new low” for artist Putrid, this album is highly recommended for the rotten-hearted, ill-natured, and furious!

___________________________

Praise for Bones’ self-titled debut (2011):

“..to me this is without any doubts one the coolest releases in the Crust / Death / Thrash genre for quite a long time!” Voices From the Darkside

“..frenzied, ragged death metal dripping with the filth and swagger of punk — no quantized typewriter drums or guitars compressed into bland, congested slabs.” Chicago Reader

THE KENNEDY VEIL – Sacramento Death Metal Legion To Release “Trinity Of Falsehood” This January

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on November 13, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

The Kennedy Veil - The Trinity Of Falsehood - promo album pic - 2013

In 2009, the world bore witness to a whole new brand of brutality. Ascending from the depths of the Northern California Valley, THE KENNEDY VEIL unleashed upon the scene their own fanatical perspective of American Death Metal.

A quartet composed of Casey Childers (ex-Forktung), Gabe Seeber (Alterbeast, Decrepit Birth, ex-Wretched Dawn), Cody Walker (ex-Skribble) and Shawn PetersonTHE KENNEDY VEIL recorded their first album, The Sentence Of Their Conqueror, with engineer Josh Williams at Metal Works Studios and released a compilation of eight visceral tracks which quickly grabbed the attention of the Metal underground. With the release of this album, the band played shows relentlessly with legendary acts such as Cephalic Carnage, Exhumed, Cattle Decapitation, Macabre, Decrepit Birth, Origin, Divine Heresy and Abysmal Dawn.

In 2012, THE KENNEDY VEIL went to work on writing the follow-up to The Sentence Of Their Conqueror and prepared an onslaught of hostile yet dynamic tracks that would come together in the form of Trinity Of Falsehood – a doctrine that will enslave the ears of the lawless and govern the damned into a frenzy of panic. It is an eleven-track offering with an aggressive and unrelenting attitude. The album brings back a familiarity of big choruses and bludgeoning drums, but places its focus on structure.

Notes the band in a collective statement, “We all feel that this album is exactly how we intended it to be and carries a much greater weight and impact which will lead us to be a formidable band in the Death Metal community and we, as THE KENNEDY VEIL, stand firm in the belief that our disciples will enthusiastically devour this new evolution of our sound.”

Trinity Of Falsehood will be released worldwide on January 21, 2014 via Unique Leader Records. Further info including track listing, teasers and live assaults, to be announced in the weeks to come.

WARFATHER – Death Metal Horde Fronted By Ex-Morbid Angel Frontman Steve Tucker, Confirms Debut Full-Length Details

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on November 10, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Warfather - band promo pic - #27 - 2013

After months of secrecy spent in the crypts finalizing the details on their debut recordings, today Death Metal horde, WARFATHER, finally declares their battle plans.

The new full-time project fronted by ex-Morbid Angel bassist/vocalist Steve TuckerWARFATHER was initially announced in mid-2012, but has remained otherwise virtually a mystery until now. As the finishing touches are currently being handled on their debut album, now confirmed to bear the title, Orchestrating The Apocalypse, this band sees Tucker back to fronting a Death Metal outfit after over a decade since his departure from Morbid Angel and over two years since his participation as a vocalist and writer in the well-received Nader Sadek project.

On the impending attack, Tucker states, “I am stoked about WARFATHER and our first album! WARFATHER is more than just a metal band; it is a belief system and a meeting of the minds, the ones that can see what is truly happening in the times we are living in. Orchestrating The Apocalypse is a warning to the eyes that choose to be blind, and a call to arms to the minds that do feel the coming changes. It is pure blackened, apocalyptic Death Metal. Fuck religion, fuck the government! This is their apocalypse. Our time is NOW!”

Warfather - band logo - 2013

Orchestrating The Apocalypse brutalizes in a relentless style that builds on the work laid on the three Tucker-fronted Morbid Angel albums – Formulas Fatal To The Flesh, Gateways To Annihilation and Heretic – resounding with over forty minutes of pure American Death Metal. WARFATHER delivers an intense, debilitating performance that should no doubt please fans of Morbid Angel, Nile, and Behemoth, while also sporadically infusing unique, even bizarre atmospheric elements, elevating the album to a cutting-edge status.

The album was recorded and mixed at Cincinnati-based TME studios by Steve Tucker and mastered by Maor Applebaum at Maor Applebaum Mastering and is now confirmed for release via Greyhaze Records on January 21, 2014 in North America, with a European release date to be announced in the coming weeks.

Be on the lookout for new music from Orchestrating The Apocalypse and more on WARFATHER in the coming days. For now take in the track listing and cover artwork by Ken Coleman below:

REPTILIAN DEATH “The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence” = Imperative Death Metal!

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on November 8, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Reptilian Death - The Dawn Of Consumation And Emergence - promo cover

5 Out Of 5 METAL Fists!

Metalfistredbckgrndsmall5

REPTILIAN DEATHThe Demonstealer (drums, guitars & bass) is the Metal mastermind behind the sheer evil that lurks within the Death Metal attack of REPTILIAN DEATH, while fronted by the sinister Vinay Venkatesh. Honestly, The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence came upon me this year like an unexpected high from the Metal Gods of Center Earth! I had no idea about the existence of such a dark and venomous Death Metal advocate, such as Demonstealer. Now I do know and I’m a better night dweller for it.

If you think the album cover art screams bloody-cruel Death Metal nightmares from Hell… wait till you listen to this album! Yes, this is a substantial case where one can judge an album by its cover for the better. REPTILIAN DEATH have created one of the best Death Metal albums I’ve had the privilege to listen to during 2013; while standing up to being one of the best Death Metal albums I’ve ever heard. Sometimes the best Metal surprises of 2013 come in the most dark and wicked of packages.

Make NO Metal mistake, REPTILIAN DEATH are not taking any prisoners with their Death Metal. This amazing Death Metal band from Mumbai (also known as Bombay) India, justifiably has my Metal endorsement and I’m not letting go! Relentless, furious, (of course, evil) and brain stinging Death Metal is all I hear on The Dawn Of Consummation And Emergence. The quality of musicianship, horrifying and mean-spirited vocals, combined with a trueness to the genre, are the deadly attributes I hear on this album. No over-production and no rats-ass filler; just straight-up Death Metal the way I cherish it, both musically and lyrically. Metal be thy name.

Soul Rot from Atlanta Old School Death Metal unit DISFIGUREMENT is out now on Boris Records.

_____________________________________________

Critical Praise:

“Soul Rot is an OSDM monster in a tech death rubber suit. It stomps and slams with the dexterity normally found in a group priding themselves on week-long widdles. Disfigurement though, cares more about flow. They write honest to Dio SONGS, preferring Replayability over their own ability. Visceral Bleeding with a transfusion of early Anata is a fine way to grease your brain if you can’t press play yet.”  – IAN CHAINEY: Trample of the Week

“Area band Difigurement opened the night, a joyful death metal outfit that crushed eardrums by taking notes from old school groups like Vader and Morbid Angel. They gave that good old assault on the senses just like any true death metal band should. Their sound reverberated in the late 80’s style – brutality without repetitiveness. The performance was great as well. No frills, just aggression. I hope to hear these guys again soon, because they left a tremendous impression.”- Brett Neidlinger: Backstage Beat

SLAVE ZERO ANNOUNCE “DISAMBIGUATED VISIONARY” EP

Slave Zero - band promo pic - 2013 - #377

Slave Zero are back with new EP Disambiguated Visionary. What can we expect from the fifth offering from the Dublin four-piece and follow-up to 2009’s ‘Exempt from all Tolerance’? “Heavy, Unrelenting and Unpredictable”, says vocalist Graeme V. Flynn. Focusing on more progressive and death metal elements than its predecessors, ‘Disambiguated Visionary’ is intended to “provoke thought and question the confines of what we see and perceive as humans alluding to our insignificance as qualified through scientific theories.”

The album which was recorded by the band’s own Ben Wanders at Nebula Studios, Galway features artwork by Paul McCarroll of Unhinged Art. Representing a futuristic humanoid, Graeme furthers, “who’s to say what the world will look like in 1,000 years or 5,000 years? If humankind ever manages to colonise parts of our solar system or beyond, the body will need to adapt to living in those conditions. The figure on the cover could potentially resemble a humanoid from that era. Humankind in our current form is not the peak of our evolutionary climb”.

Supported by a number of launch shows in Ireland the EP ‘Disambiguated Visionary’ will be released this November 10th on Double Standard Productions.

ANNIHILATED – Los Angeles Death Metal Squadron Enter Studio

Los Angeles Death Metallers, ANNIHILATED, are set to enter Trench Studios in Corona, California later this month to record the beast of brutality that will be 13 Steps To Ruination. Set for release via their new label home of Unique Leader Records, 13 Steps To Ruination will be produced by drummer Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn). Drums will be recorded by producer/engineer John Haddad (Abysmal Dawn, Exhumed, Intronaut).

Comments the band: “We think this is our heaviest, and catchiest stuff we’ve written with a very real and intense message. We think people will really dig it.”

ANNIHILATED seek to spread the truth about corporate and legislative corruption. Forged in 2008 by guitarists Eric Matranga and Robert Fimbres following the demise of their former band Excretion, ANNIHILATED crafts maniacal Death Metal hymns focused on promoting rational thought and to question what’s being force-fed to the masses via mass media.

Annihilated - band logo - 2013

In 2012, drummer Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn) joined the group with the same values and ideologies. Helping to further their musical purpose, he added a new dimension of percussive flavor and syncopation to the music. Shortly thereafter, the band recruited ex-Decapitated bassist Martin Rygiel to lay down bass tracks for their EP, Injected. Rygiel’s roaring bass assaults and vast musical knowledge supplemented their already refined brand of relentless aggression.

The self-released Injected EP was recorded and produced at Trench Studios by Fuller, features guest vocals by Charles Elliott (Abysmal Dawn, Bereft), a special guitar solo by Fancesco Artusato (All Shall Perish, Fancesco Artusato Project) and serves as a taste of the sickness to come with six face-liquefying tracks of extreme, uncompromising Death Metal.

13 Steps To Ruination will be unleashed via Unique Leader Records next year. Further details to be announced in the months to come.

ANNIHILATED:

Eric Matranga (ex-Excretion, Grotesque) – guitars/vocals

Martin Rygiel (ex-Decapitated, Vader, Lux Occulta) – bass

Scott Fuller (Abysmal Dawn) – drums

Robert Fimbres (Banishment) – guitars
