Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , on September 16, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

ALL THAT REMAINS – A new studio album, A War You Cannot Win, from Massachusetts Metal band All That Remains will see release on November 6th, via Razor & Tie. A War You Cannot Win was produced by Adam Dutkiewicz.

__________________________________________

“So we’re gonna release a new disc in the fall and it’s called ‘A War You Can Not Win’. We really busted our asses and tried to do some new stuff (like we always do) and we’re really happy about what came out of it. Some of it is pretty different and is REALLY gonna blow you guys away. Some of it is gonna sound just like what you expect from ATR. And I’m sure all of it is gonna make the internet have a conniption fit! Release is gonna be this fall and we’re already working on a co-headline tour to show some of it off! Get into it,” comments All That Remains front man Phil Labonte.

A War You Can Not Win will be All That Remains’ seventh studio album for Razor & Tie/Prosthetic, the bands label home for over eight years.  One of the leading rock/metal bands in music today, ATR has sold more than 890,000 albums and 1,290,000 tracks to date. The band’s last album, For We Are Many, debuted at #10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart in 2010 and sold over 174,000 albums to date.

The band has also had enormous Active Rock Radio success – their last single off the album, “The Waiting One,” went top 5 on the  Active Rock Radio chart making ATR’s first ever Top 5 single and also the band’s fifth consecutive hit single at Active Rock. For We Are Many also spawned 2 additional Top 10 tracks, “Hold On,” and “The Last Time” which spent a combined calendar year charting at the format. All That Remains has toured extensively including a headlining runs as well as tours with Asking Alexandria, Buckcherry, Black Label Society, Hollywood Undead, Five Finger Death Punch as well as a few major radio and international festivals.

OBELYSKKH – German Doom Unit Premiere New Track Via The Obelisk

Posted in doom metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on September 14, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Elusive German Doom quartet OBELYSKKH have completed their second full-length, White Lightnin’,confirmed for release via the avant-garde-minded riffmongers at Exile On Mainstream Records in North America on October 16th.

Today the aficionados of thunderous riffage at The Obelisk have gladly premiered a brand new track from OBELYSKKH, and not simply because of the obvious name kinship… but because they were the right doomsters for the job. Deafen all in earshot with the fourth track from White Lightnin’, the six-and-a-half minute homage to their previous album, via “Mount Nysa” RIGHT HERE.

Amidst tours and live performances throughout Germany and abroad since their 2008 inception, White Lightnin’ follows-up OBELYSKKH’s long-time-comin’ debut Mount Nysa, which was released in 2011 via now defunct German label Droehnhaus, nearly four years after the band’s formation. Following the immediately incredible response from the Doom/Sludge scene it received, the band decided  against a massive gap until the next album, and over the turn of the year into 2011 set up camp with Billy Anderson (Sleep, Neurosis, Mr. Bungle, Eyehategod, High On Fire, Melvins, etc.) to capture, mix and master their new work.

The more than hour-long White Lightnin’ is a roaring tour de force of catchy, flowing Sludge/Doom with just the right amount of atmospheric properties to counter its skull-shattering low-end assault, drawing from pure filth through psychedelic soundscapes into postrock and back. The output of OBELYSKKH is crushing but it also breathes some kind of repetitive mantra-like ambition, which clears the air here and there and thus declines total negativity. Diehards of Sleep, Ufomammut, Electric Wizard and labelmates Black Shape of Nexus will unquestionably embrace this outfit’s offerings into their record collections.

White Lightnin’ Track Listing:

1. The Enochian Keys

2. Elegy

3. The White Lightning

4. Mount Nysa

5. Amphetamine Animal

6. Abysmal Desert Cavern

7. Invocation To The Old Ones

NIDINGR – ‘Greatest Of Deceivers’ Details Revealed; Releasing In North America On November 20th

Posted in Black Metal, black metal albums, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on September 13, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Recent Indie Recordings signees, NIDINGR, will unleash their new full-length, Greatest Of Deceivers, in North America on November 20th. Starring present and past members of bands such as Mayhem, Gorgoroth, DHG (Dødheimsgard), 1349 and God Seed, among others, the Norwegian Black Metal magicians are known for their efficiently complex songwriting, ravagingly dissonant, yet infinitely catchy riffs and breakneck tempos. Their two previous offerings — 2005’s Sorrow Infinite And Darkness and 2010’sWolf Father — prove what this maniacal assault is capable of. 

NIDINGR recorded G.O.D. in Crystal Canyon Studios in Oslo, home to a host of prominent Norwegian acts including cult experimentalists Ulver, to accomplish a unique ‘70s, vintage style production. The sound they’ve created is a wholly organic, warm, unedited and un-triggered production that further emphasizes the great musicianship caught on tape. Greatest Of Deceivers was produced by guitarist Teloch, mixed by Anders Møller (Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O, Euroboys, 120 Days, Turbonegro, etc.) and  mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios. The cover was crafted by the renowned Metastazis (Morbid Angel, Nachtmystium, Paradise Lost, Watain, Blut Aus Nord, etc.).

Greatest Of Deceivers continues the theme from Sorrow Infinite And Darkness, based on Enochian texts. As on the previous album, ten Enochian Æthyrs are evoked through the course of the album.

Greatest Of Deceivers Track Listing:

01. Greatest Of Deceivers
02. All Crowns Fall
03. O Thou Empty God
04. The Balances
05. Vim Patior
06. Rags Upon A Beggar
07. The Worm Is Crowned
08. Pure Pale Gold
09. Mother Of Abominations
10. Dweller In The Abyss

JOB FOR A COWBOY – More Studio Footage Posted From ‘Demonocracy’ Studio Sessions

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on August 26, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Drum Magazine Catches Up With Jon Rice; Band To Play Russia, Ukraine And Belarus

New footage from JOB FOR A COWBOY’s Demonocracy studio sessions is currently available at the band’s official landing page. Witness Jon Rice demolish his kit during “Fearmonger” at THIS LOCATION.

Additionally, Drum Magazine recently caught up with Rice to talk about his natural sounding approach to the critically lauded record noting, “If you detect more of a feel-oriented style on JOB FOR A COWBOY’s Demonocracy, credit Jon ‘The Charn’ Rice for that extra bit of human touch. Eschewing sound replacement, scientific Pro Tools quantizing, and the usual by-the-numbers approach favored by most death metal bands (and their power-hungry producers), Charn and JFAC did it old school; well, almost. While the band certainly used computers to keep the perfect beast drummer in perfect time, they didn’t follow the typical click track route. Similarly, Charn opted for natural drum tones and sounds. All this anti-machine behavior gives Demonocracy a serious kick to the groin, and on songs like ‘Children Of Deceit,’ ‘Imperium Wolves,’ and ‘Fearmonger,’ 24-year-old Charn smacks down single strokes, bleeds double pedal profundity and generally rips the heads off your favorite Death Metal destroyers.” READ THE FULL STORY HERE.

Praise For Demonocracy:

“…an ass-kicking, skull-cracking record,” — Alternative Press

“…a very strong exercise in slickly-produced, technically sound death metal…” — Decibel,

“Demonocracy affords JOB FOR A COWBOY another album to legitimize their death metal sound, which was set forth starting with Ruination…Bringing in guitarist Tony Sannicandro and Cephalic Carnage bassist Nick Schendzielos translates to dynamics not heard on any JOB FOR A COWBOY album to date…” — About.com

“The album plays like a constant assault, and while never backing off it still manages to add enough structure for individual songs to become memorable… the soloing is surprisingly catchy and well-executed while still managing to sit well in the context of the songs.” — Ultimate-Guitar

Being asked about the lyrical themes of their songs, Iiro said in an interview with The Core Of Brutality: “(Our songs deal with) death, accepting death, tattoo artists and Mel Gibson.”

SATAN’S WRATH – Greek Satanic Blackened Thrash Outfit Summon Debut Album

Now that the thousand-faced moon is risen SATAN’S WRATH is upon thee… Awakened by you, the legions of Satan and blessed by the forces of the archfiend, this abominable band delivers Satanic necrometal drenched in sacrificial blood.

Formed in 2011 by multi-instrumentalist Tas Danazoglou (vocals, drums, bass) and Stamos K (guitars), SATAN’S WRATH deal in a style of heavy metal music which harkens to the times when the Death, Black and Thrash genres were all considered one in the same, and only leather, spikes and bullets were real!

The band’s debut release, Galloping Blasphemy, contains nine tracks of unholy terror and is to be released on September 25th in North America, and September 21/24th in Europe.

All Danazoglou had to say about the new album was:”REAL METAL! DEATH TO POSERS!”

CURRENTLY ON SUMMER SLAUGHTER, BAND PREP FOR OCT. 9 RELEASE OF THE PARALLAX II: FUTURE SEQUENCE

Aug. 15, 2012, LOS ANGELES — Between The Buried And Me have confirmed a fall tour spanning Japan, Australia and New Zealand with the kick-off date on Nov. 8 in Osaka, Japan.

The announcement comes as the Charlotte, North Carolina band are in the midst of a North American tour, co-headlining Summer Slaughter with a handful of headlining dates later this month.  Between The Buried And Me follow the U.S. dates with an extensive European tour, which begins on Oct. 1 in Reading.

The Parallax II: Future Sequence marks the quintet’s most ambitious release to date and their first-full length release on Metal Blade arrives on Oct. 9.   The 12-track, conceptual release was described by Tommy Rogers (vocals, keyboards) as: “A conceptual journey that takes the listener to worlds that seem familiar and worlds that make you scratch your head. From start to finish this is music we want to create, not music we think people want us to create. We create songs that keep us (and hopefully you) excited about heavy music.”   The first single from the release, “Telos,” can be streamed at www.metalblade.com/btbam.

Between The Buried And Me have sold in excess of 400,000 records since their 2002 self-titled debut.   “The group’s ability to layer long, melodic arcs over squibs of dissonance has never been more surgical and soulful,” said Alternative Press of the band’s prequel to The Parallax II (2011 EP The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues).  Revolver described the set as “a cohesive piece of art” and added “Between The Buried And Me are on a level of songwriting skill that few bands hope to reach…”

KRAMPUS – Stream New Song “Unspoken”

Posted in Extreme Metal, folk metal, Heavy Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on August 14, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

KRAMPUS continue to make waves leading up to the release of their debut album Survival of the Fittest with their latest stream of the song “Unspoken”.  Singer Filippo comments:

“‘Unspoken’ is about frustration. Frustration of being a young guy who lives in this global crisis period, with the will to do something, to be realized and to prove his worth, and that is instead entangled in a world that negates him this chance.

There’s no work, global economy is falling, corruption and injustice are everywhere, there’s not enough space for those who would just like to act and build. It’s not fair that fathers feels like losers even if they work hard because the cannot look after those whom they care.”
