Portland, Oregon’s purveyors of Progressive Deathcore, Paragon, are set to release their debut full-length album, Dead Planet, on July 22, 2016. Dead Planet, which combines a foundation of Deathcore with a mix of ambience, melodic guitar breaks, and heavy groove oriented riffing, was produced and engineered by the band’s own guitarist, Eric Gemme at GemLabs Audio (Extortionist, Navigator, Burdens) in Portland, OR. While both the band and the album started out as a one man project several years ago, Paragon has since evolved into a full-fledged band that is fully prepared to bring the aural assault that is Dead Planet to the masses.

Speaking on the band’s behalf, Eric had the following to say about Paragon and Dead Planet: “After 4 years of writing, reflecting, and refining, I’m happy to say that ‘Dead Planet’ will finally be released to the public. This CD was written through the absolute worst and best times of my life, and I think the epic, heavy hitting, and groovy riffs translate well throughout. For the lyrics, We wanted to take a more focused approach – from explaining Earth’s position in space and providing different scenes and scenarios on the planet, to our exploration of other places within the universe. We have recently solidified the line-up as a 4-piece, and couldn’t be happier to bring these riffs to life on the stage.”

The band released a pre-production mix of the track Augmented back in 2015, which can be streamed at the following location or below.

The final version of the track will be available on the full length. I Declare War‘s Jamie Hanks and American Me‘s Tony Tataje both add to the brutality of Dead Planet, with Jamie making a guest vocal appearance on the title track, and Tony delivering on Unshakable Faith.

Pre-orders for Dead Planet, which include T-shirt bundles, are now available for purchase via Paragon‘s bandcamp page at http://paragon.bandcamp.com/.

ABOUT HELLEBORUS:

Conceived within the womb of Execration, HELLEBORUS is the latest emanation of Jerred & Wyatt Houseman. Like the enigmatic and deadly winter flower from which the project takes its name, Helleborus pushes the exploration of traditional Black Metal into the uncharted territory of sensual duality and mysticism. Building on their professional experience with Execration and personal experiences through Akhenaten, the Houseman brothers sought a deeper expression of their experiential-driven musical style that audiences can connect with through a union of opposites.

“We’ve always had a vision for the type of Black Metal project Helleborus would be. We wanted to explore and deliver a darker and yet more romantic side of Black Metal. There is an unknown side of Metal that is masculine and powerful, yet sensual and respectful; controlled chaos.” comments vocalist Wyatt Houseman.

Album Band Line Up features: Wyatt (vocals, lyrics) & Jerred Houseman (producer, all instruments)

Live Band Line Up features: Brent Boutte’ – Drums, Jerred Houseman – Guitar & leads, Wyatt Houseman – Voice, Ian Horenman – guitar & rhythms, Michael Hylands – Bass

Baroness - band purple logo - 2015 - #MO9669696

“The cathartic experience of playing live music has not changed over the 13 years of performing,” John Baizley said in a recent interview with the SF Weekly. “But the sense of relief and release I feel as an adult is as intense, if not more than, when I was younger.  The response to this record has been really, really overwhelming. There have been some pretty dramatic changes in the way that our audiences react to our songs, and I couldn’t be happier about that.”

Purple was released on Dec. 18 via the band’s own Abraxan Hymns label.

Purple and the songs from the album also landed on a number of year-end best of lists with “Shock Me” coming in at #10 on Entertainment Weekly’s Top 40 Songs of 2015, Pitchfork awarding it #6 on their Best Metal Albums of 2015 round-up and Rolling Stone placing the release at #7 on their 20 Best Metal Albums of 2015.

Following the recent departure of Keegan Kjeldsen, these tour dates will see DESTROYER OF LIGHT taking to the streets as a three-piece for the first time, with Jeff Klein handling lead guitars, Steve Colca on guitars and vocals, and Penny turner on drums, the trio strategically bulking up on extra amplification for the journey.

ABNORMALITY are a young Death Metal band that exhibits the talent, energy and drive to go very far in our Metal world. Experiencing ABNORMALITY live has only solidified my previously positive Metal opinion about them BIG time. Originating from Massachusetts and fronted by vocalist Mallika Sundaramurthy, ABNORMALITY are signed to Metal Blade Records. I was fortunate to witness the live Death Metal fury of ABNORMALITY at Oddbody’s Music Room, in Dayton, Ohio, on May 7th, of this year.

With ABNORMALITY‘s new studio album Mechanisms of Omniscience just being released on April 29th, they are touring to support their Death Metal album achievement; supporting mega Metal monsters BATTLECROSS, SUFFOCATION and the legendary SOULFLY. This is quite an impressive supporting slot to have, considering the enormous influence that SUFFOCATION has had on the Death Metal family and the unparalleled Metal history of Max Cavalera’s SOULFLY. Whoa.

Being in the pit for any Metal show at my age now is usually not that stinking easy. I do feel the hits, slaps and random punches more than I used to, say, twenty-five years ago. Despite my being older, I am more wiser; therefore being up-front and against the stage for ABNORMALITY was a no-brainer for me! I took the numerous hits! F*ck yeah. I wanted to be a part of Death Metal history, being able to say I experienced ABNORMALITY as close as I could get! This band is that fun to see and hear up-close; combined with their Death Metal assault, grooves, vibes and obvious future potential, it’s freaking bragging rights to only see them this way and not from afar.

ABNORMALITY played to a packed house at Oddbody’s, with their battalion of fans that were unmistakably in attendance. Forget about the song list here; I was too busy taking in ABNORMALITY‘s deadly wall-of-sound, while doing my damn best to sustain the physical barrage upon my body. That’s Metal. Pure and f*%kin simple. Mallika Sundaramurthy‘s guttural vocals are eye-popping! Do not underestimate Mallika. Her stage presence is commanding, while working the fans into a Metal frenzy, regardless of her petite size and seriously cute looks. Mallika’s vocals and the entire band, without a doubt, kicked my ears into Death Metal submission! Amazing.

I obviously had a blast being a part of this ABNORMALITY moment in Metal time. For thirty minutes or so I didn’t care about any other band in the world; my entire Metal soul was focused on what I was feeling and hearing from ABNORMALITY. The body hits I was taking didn’t matter; nor did my head getting dizzy spells from the entire pit encounter. This was my Metal moment with ABNORMALITY and I was going to savor every f*#kin second of it; as well I did. Metal Be Thy Name. – Stone

Pictured below is the psyched-out me, with Mallika Sundaramurthy. Metal be thy name, what a funtastic night!

ISKRA – Southern Lord To Release CD Version Of “Ruins” By Canadian Anarchist Black Metal Outfit In July; Summer Tour Confirmed

Posted in Black Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , , on May 29, 2016 by Metal Odyssey

Iskra - Ruins - promo album cover pic - 2016 - #MOILMF999

Blistering anarchist Black Metal unit, ISKRA, has teamed up with Southern Lord for the CD release of their latest LP, Ruins. Approaching the most fearsome of all genres from a foundation in filthy metallic crust, ISKRA has skillfully created an old school orthodox epic that their extensive back catalog has always been working towards, and in Ruins is executed in sublime, scathing style.

The Canadian collective, almost two decades into their journey as ISKRA, stands out as staunch advocates of anarchism, and reject all forms of oppressive mainstream ideologies such as communism, fascism and democracy. To underline this, they coined their unification of extreme punk anger and Black Metal sonics “anarchist metal,” separating themselves from other acts deemed as “extreme” or “radical” but lacking conviction or real menace.

It is certainly evident in their vitriolic offensives that they mean business, but most impressive is the sharp, refined songcraft that makes Ruins a compelling Black Metal record, regardless of your political (dis)orientation. The constantly shifting tremolo riffs and blasting drums are some of the most devastating and aggressive you will hear, and fans of Absu and early Immortal will find plenty to enjoy – ISKRA exerts overwhelming levels of energy and brutality in Ruins, outpacing and outwitting the vast majority.

ISKRA have toured across scores of countries with countless acts operating in various subsects of underground Punk and Metal and have built up a fearsome international reputation, demonstrated by their heavy patch presence on the battle jackets of the true. A wealth of DIY and independent label releases trails behind them, with numerous albums, splits and demos all available to download for free from their website in accordance with their principles.

Southern Lord will issue ISKRA‘s Ruins on digipak CD including a twenty-page booklet with lyrics and liner notes on July 1st.

Iskra - Ruins - promo album cover pic - 2016 - #MOILMF999

Ruins – Track Listing:
1. Lawless
2. Ruins
3. Predator Drone MQ-1
4. Traume
5. Nihil
6. Illegal
7. Aegis Of The Victor
8. Der Einzige
9. Lebensraum
10. Battle Of One Hundred Slain
11. Masqueraders Of Fraud
12. Thieves Of Life
13. Privileged Morality

ISKRA also proudly announces the Anarchy Attack… Canadian Destruction (Storming the Atlantic) Summer Tour of Canada, their first major tour of Canada since 2004. This tour will mark the band’s first coast to coast tour of the country and includes five days in the maritime provinces. The tour also features appearances at the legendary Spider Fest (formerly Spider Acres) in Meyersburg, Ontario and Evil Fest in Sainte-Angele-de-Merici, Quebec. The band’s full live itinerary will be announced in the days ahead.

Faithsedge - promo band collage - 2016 - #MOFEILMF933233

The approach is very melodic with an old school feel: 80’s style hooks, big drums, slamming bass, epic keys and big production. At the same time the album keeps a current up to date feel with lyric content of today’s world mixed with a competitive metal feel. Giancarlo’s songwriting approach mixed with each members experience and skills takes the album to new heights .

With different supergroups that come and go, Faithsedge is more than just that, the band members worked together as a tight team and the result and chemistry show in the end result .

UNMERCIFUL – Kansas Death Metal Squad Uniting Former Members Of Origin To Release New Full-Length Via Unique Leader This July; Artwork + Track Listing Revealed

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on May 28, 2016 by Metal Odyssey

Unmerciful - Ravenous Impulse - promo album cover pic - 2016 - #9339MOILMFS

Kansas Death Metal squad, UNMERCIFUL, will drop the devious fruits of their long-awaited new full-length this Summer via Unique Leader Records. Titled Ravenous Impulse, the record features the drum demolition of John Lonstreth (Dim Mak, Origin, ex-Gorguts etc.).

Comments UNMERCIFUL guitarist Clint Appelhanz (ex-Origin) of the band’s forthcoming full-length, “It’s been ten years since the release of Unmercifully Beaten and we’ve had an up and down ride through the years. We are proud to announce the release of Ravenous Impulse to mark a new time for the band. Ravenous Impulse features a collaboration of song writing styles from [bassist] Jeremy [Turner; ex-Origin], [guitarist] Justin [Payne] and myself. Coupled with John Lonstreth’s approach to drums and Kris [Bolton; D.F.W.B.]’s vocal delivery, we feel that our sound is in a new place while still maintaining the band’s identity. Concepts behind most of the lyrical content mainly deal with violent instinct and diabolical human behaviors. We feel these subjects and themes are more realistic and relative to everyday society and more terrifying. Expect a classic Death Metal sound with modern speed.”

Unmerciful - Ravenous Impulse - promo album cover pic - 2016 - #9339MOILMFS

Ravenous Impulse – Track Listing:
1. Unmerciful
2. Abscission
3. Ravenous Impulse
4. Sociopathic Predation
5. Kill Reflex
6. Habitual Savagery
7. Enduring Torture
8. Kingdom Of Serpents
9. Methodic Absolution

Founded in 2001, UNMERCIFUL released its debut, Unmercifully Beaten, in 2006. With intensive tour runs from 2006 through 2009 with the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Necrophagist, Decrepit Birth, Cryptopsy, and more, the band went through various personnel changes before deciding to disband in 2009. What started out as just a reunion show in 2012, quickly returned the band to working status. With consistent live shows and numerous metal fest appearances, the band released a self-titled demo in 2014 as a first step in the process to completing its first full-length release in nearly a decade. After the abrupt departure of drummer James King, John Longstreth was enlisted to record drums for Ravenous Impulse.

In July 2015, UNMERCIFUL entered Chapman Studios (Origin, Tech N9NE) to work with longtime producer and friend, Robert Rebeck. Longstreth laid down a phenomenal recording on drums. The rest of the album was recorded and mixed at Clint Appelhanz’s own Waveworks Studio. The process was long and tedious, but the end result is nothing short of sonically devastating. Ravenous Impulse raises the bar of relentless, unmerciful, aggressive, and plainly brutal Death Metal. Look for Ravenous Impulse July 22nd, 2016 on Unique Leader Records.

NUCLEAR - promo band pic - 2016 - #MOILMFNMS

Chilean Thrashers NUCLEAR have released a new video, covering DEATH’s classic “Evil Dead.” Originally released 29 years ago and given NUCLEAR’s extreme makeover,  the video includes tour footage, as well as shots from the recording sessions of the band’s latest release Formula For Anarchy (Candlelight Records 2015). Check out the video below or at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoJftcHhWp8&hd=1

NUCLEAR had this to say about the video: “It is just our humble tribute to one of the greatest musicians metal music had the opportunity to listen. Chuck Schuldiner’s indelible mark is still influencing tons of new metal acts around the world and Scream Bloody Gore was one hell of a start for all of us”

NUCLEAR is currently working on new material and a new album is expected to be released in 2017 by Candlelight/Spinefarm Records.

Formula for Anarchy, the ferocious new album from  NUCLEAR, is out now on Candlelight Records. Purchase and/or stream tracks at:
