GENERATION KILL – Reveal Artwork & Track Listing For “We’re All Gonna Die”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal, thrash metal bands with tags crossover thrash, generation kill, generation kill we're all gonna die, Metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News, metal odyssey on September 24, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

New York City thrashers GenerationKillOfficial have revealed the artwork & track listing for WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE, the band’s second studio album to be released in North America on November 26th.

“We achieved our goal of creating something that we all are so proud of,” states GENERATION KILL frontman & lyricist Rob Dukes, who also fronts the Bay Area thrash band Exodus.

“We called this album We’re All Gonna Die because for the most part the lyrics are about the darker side of the existence of humans on this planet. The album as a whole is so diverse, drawing from our influences that we grew up on. I personally think this is the strongest vocal performance of my career, and as a band, we can’t wait for the hard rock/metal world to hear this album.”

Produced by Zeuss (HATEBREED, AGNOSTIC FRONT, MUNICIPAL WASTE), fellow GENERATION KILL band members include Rob Moschetti (ex-PRO-PAIN / M.O.D.) on bass & backing vocals, dual lead guitarists Jason Trenzcer (ex-MUTILATION) & Jason Velez, and James DeMaria (ex- MERAUDER) on drums.

The Track Listing For We’re All Gonna Die Includes:
01 – Born To Serve
02 – Prophets Of War
03 – Self Destruction
04 – Friendly Fire
05 – Carny Love
06 – Vegas
07 – There Is No Hope
08 – We’re All Gonna Die

The GENERATION KILL band name comes from the title of the 2004 book (also a HBO mini-series) written by Rolling Stone journalist Evan Wright.

SCORPION CHILD – Debut S/T Album Enchants With Classic Hard Rock

Posted in classic rock, classic rock bands, Hard Rock, hard rock bands, Heavy Metal, Music, rock bands, rock music, rock music news with tags classic rock, hard rock albums 2013, metal albums 2013, metal odyssey, scorpion child, scorpion child album review on September 14, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

4 Out Of 5 METAL Fists!

SCORPION CHILD – Following in a very long line of flat-out terrific bands from Texas, SCORPION CHILD (from Austin) has apparently mixed together the perfect formula for Classic Hard Rock nectar. Released via Nuclear Blast in North America on June 25th, 2013, this debut and self-titled album from SCORPION CHILD is quite the album that has grown on me.

SCORPION CHILD has proven to me, rather quickly, what they’ve tried to accomplish with their Rock ‘N Roll: a return to when albums were just that. The AOR, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Stoner and (to an extent) Psychedelic Rock crowds should be absolutely thrilled by this SCORPION CHILD album. Yes, SCORPION CHILD does cover some impressive Rock genre ground here, with their overall sound and stylings they’ve created.

As with Sacramento’s legendary TESLA, this dynamic SCORPION CHILD band can (to my ears) easily fit in with any Rock ‘N Roll crowd. The songs on this debut album are exactly what us retro Rockers could use more of, as it all harkens back to those dreamy 70’s and early 80’s; when vinyl was still king.

Below, listen to and watch the lyric video for Liquor:

Classic Rock influences run wild through this SCORPION CHILD album; easily too many influences to mention, with the spirit of Led Zeppelin, YES and Boston showing through via the guitars, vocals, rhythm section and atmosphere of sound. No worries though, SCORPION CHILD is an original band of cats that won’t have any trouble building upon their already rapidly growing following.

Liquor may be the psyche-you-out hit; only it’s the entire album that wins the Classic Hard Rock badge of legitimacy for SCORPION CHILD. Red Blood (The River Flows) is an obvious Rock epic, at 13:44 long. This ambitious and talented band took a huge risk in including this song on their debut, especially with such a long progressive interval of crickets that bridges this song together. Yes, crickets. Nonetheless, quality breeds success! With the instant gratification society our music industry and mp3 public have unfortunately morphed into, to actually sit and listen to a song that plays for over 13 minutes, in 2013, means you are either a Progressive Rock loyalist or a REAL fan of Rock ‘N Roll. By the way, this epic song is a splendid listen, indeed; just as this entire SCORPION CHILD album is as well.

The final track, Keep Goin’, is a gem of a cover song. Originally written and recorded in 1970, by the legendary Lucifer’s Friend, Keep Goin’ is a dazzling Classic Rock finish to SCORPION CHILD’s debut! Metal be thy name.

PESTILENCE – “Obsideo” Album Confirmed For November Release

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Death Metal, death metal albums 2013, death metal bands, metal albums 2013, metal odyssey, pestilence, pestilence obsideo on September 12, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Candlelight Records today confirms November 11th as the North American release date for Obsideo, the new album from Dutch metal extremists PESTILENCE. Produced by vocalist/guitarist Patrick Mameli, the album is the band’s inaugural recording for the label and first new material from the four-piece since 2011.

“We have gone beyond our human limits to achieve the highest form of brutal music,” reveals Mameli when discussing the album’s creation. “The musicianship is such high quality; it is really ten of the most demanding songs written in death metal.”

Together with long-time guitarist Patrick Uterwijk, Mameli, bassist George Maier and drummer Dave Haley deliver a blistering and genre-lifting effort. “I am chuffed to have Dave in the lineup,” confirmed Mameli earlier this year while discussing the band’s updated cast. “He is one of the best extreme drummers in the world and his talent bring PESTILENCE to new levels. George is a young and talented bass player that will turn some heads. Both are really down to earth and real easy-going guys. Patrick, of course, is my most respected and long-going friend and musician.”

Obsideo boasts Mameli and his innovative guitar work. Utilizing eight-string guitars for the album’s recording, the celebrated musician expands his already massive arsenal of riffs. “The eight string guitar opens a lot of doors,” notes Mameli. “It gives lots of new musical options and allows us to make the music sound more brutal than before. It also forces me to sing in a higher pitch because I don’t want my vocals in the way of the low-tuned guitar parts. My vocals sound more intense and manic than before.”

Formed in 1986, PESTILENCE took influence from early American and German thrash metal to cultivate its now signature death metal sound. Recording four albums before disbanding in 1994, the band helped to usher the rise in popularity for the genre. Fourteen years later the band reformed; releasing two albums and exciting fans with live performances around the globe. “Mameli and company chose to steer efforts down paths previously unexplored whilst maintaining their vintage essence,” noted Chronicles of Chaos on the band’s 2009 album, Resurrection Macabre (Mascot).

PESTILENCE plans to begin touring in support of Obsideo in the early months of 2014; North America to be included in their worldwide takeover. The band’s last stateside performance was as a featured artist on the second annual 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise that left Miami shores on January 23, 2012.

Obsideo Track-Listing:

1. Obsideo

2. Displaced

3. Aura Negative

5. Laniatus

DRUGS OF FAITH – Confirms Details On Upcoming EP

Posted in Extreme Metal, grindcore, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags architectural failures, drugs of faith, grindcore, Metal, metal albums 2013, metal odyssey on September 12, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Northern Virginia-based trio DRUGS OF FAITH have completed the final stages of their upcoming new EP, as they prepare it for release late this Autumn.

The first new recordings to emerge since their 2011 Corroded album, DRUGS OF FAITH let loose with four brand new tracks on the freshly finished Architectural Failures EP. The band’s patented rocked-out grindcore approach here shows some brutally awesome dissonant tones and more expansive dimensions with a crushing metallic production courtesy of the sessions at Developing Nations with Kevin Bernsten (Full Of Hell, Inter Arma, Ilsa, Coke Bust) and final mastering by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed). Architectural Failures will see release in late November as a one-sided 12″ limited to 300 copies with a digital download via Malokul, the DIY label started by D.C. act Disciples of Christ.

Coming from co-founder Richard Johnson (Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Enemy Soil), DRUGS OF FAITH has endured since 2003, with a plethora of releases out via Poland’s Selfmadegod Records amidst several demos and compilation spots including Relapse Records’ This Comp Kills Fascists Vol.2. And simply put, they fucking shred. Following recent live actions including this year’s MACROCK conference in Virginia followed by a spot on the Philadelphia date of this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour with Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death and Immolation, DRUGS OF FAITH will again take to the streets with updates to be announced in the weeks ahead.

Architectural Failures Track Listing:

1. The Incumbent

2. Insanity

3. Paper Trails

4. Placing Bets

Posted in Metal, metal music, metalcore, Music, rock music, rock music news, rock music videos with tags fade away music video, metal albums 2013, metal odyssey, metalcore, we came as romans on September 11, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Within this week marking the anniversary of the horrific events that occurred in the U.S.A. on September 11th, 2001, I will be featuring songs of hope, love, inspiration, positive vibes and goodwill towards man. These songs will be pulled from the Hard Rock and Metal genres too. Hopefully, an attack like that will never happen again upon any country.

There currently is way too much conflict and suffering happening in the world today; our life on Earth is too short for such carnage and despair. War is not the answer and I cherish life, family, music and of course… Metal Buddies. Metal be thy name.

Below is the official music video for Fade Away, from Detroit, Michigan’s very own We Came As Romans. A Metalcore band that features both a melodic and Hardcore sound, We Came As Romans have recently crashed the charts with their Billboard top-ten studio album: Tracing Back Roots. The inspiring lyrics to Fade Away are nothing short of personal perseverance and hope filled. Below, listen to and watch Fade Away by We Came As Romans:

Dave Stephens – vocals

Kyle Pavone – vocals/keys

Joshua Moore – guitar

Lou Cotton – guitar

Andy Glass – bass

Eric Choi – drums

IMPALED – To Unleash Re-Recording Of Debut Album, On Its 13th Anniversary

Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, gore metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Death Metal, gore metal, impaled, impaled debut album, impaled the dead shall dead remain, metal albums 2013, metal odyssey on September 10, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

On the thirteen-year anniversary of IMPALED’s The Dead Shall Dead Remain debut, the group will be releasing a re-recording entitled The Dead Still Dead Remain. Long tangled in legal limbo, the music from The Dead Shall Dead Remain has been unavailable on CD for over a decade. The re-recording dodges those legal hurdles and puts the music back in print.

The stakes were raised as IMPALED sought to best the production of the original. The Dead Still Dead Remain features recording and mixing by Vinnie Wojno, famous for his work with Testament. IMPALED and Wojno worked for three years to get the recording they wanted. “It simply sounds better, no matter how you slice it. And we surely do slice it!” says guitarist Jason Kocol.

IMPALED assures fans that the music on The Dead Still Dead Remain is faithful to the original. It features the return of vocalist Leon del Muerte, who says, “it was like the last thirteen years of backstabbing and spitefulness never happened!” Even the artwork, which the band insists has already been banned in 672 countries, harkens back to their first release but is even more revolting.

The shit will hit the fans when Willowtip Records releases The Dead Still Dead Remain on October 29. Preorder info will be available soon at THIS LOCATION.

NIGHT DEMON – S/T EP Is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

NIGHT DEMON – Announces Live Dates And Prepares To Enter Studio

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Heavy Metal, Metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News, metal odyssey, night demon, night demon ep on September 9, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

NIGHT DEMON – Having recently released their self-titled debut EP via Shadow Kingdom Records, Oxnard, California NWOBHM inspired upstarts NIGHT DEMON have announced a series of one-off shows in support of the EP. At the end of September, the band will enter the studio to commence work on the full-length follow-up to their four-song debut. The full-length will be released on a yet-to-be-determined label.

NIGHT DEMON Live Dates:

09/14 @ Bombay – Ventura, CA (Record Release Show!)

10/16 @ Malone’s – Santa Ana, CA w/ Diamond Head & Raven

10/17 @ The Vex Arts – Los Angeles, CA w/ Diamond Head & Raven

10/20 @ The Count’s Vamp’d – Las Vegas, NV w/ Diamond Head & Raven

10/25 @ The Creekside – Santa Barbara, CA

This California trio, featuring members of THE FUCKING WRATH, first started making noise in 2011. It didn’t take long for the band to make a name for themselves with trad-metal maniacs from across the globe. In fact, shortly after establishing an online presence via Bandcamp, the organizers of Germany’s Keep It True Festival offered NIGHT DEMON a place on the fest’s 2014 line-up.

British metallic stylings reminiscent of Angel Witch, Raven and Iron Maiden are kicked into overdrive with an edgier and gritter dose of American venom. Consider NIGHT DEMON mandatory listening for any NWOBHM fan. The Shadow Kingdom Records CD release is remastered from the digital version and offers an undeniably superior sound.

A video for the song “Night Demon,” filmed, directed and produced by the band, is now playing below:

The band’s self-titled EP was made available on August 6th and can be purchased at http://www.store.shadowkingdomrecords.com.

Critical Praise:

“…raw, ass kicking metal.” – Sounds From the Mead Hall

“The call to join Night Demon’s ritual should be heeded by all those who can trace their metal roots back to the Eighties, or anyone who appreciates metal from the days when the only available prefix was heavy.” – BlackSundayMagazine.net

“Look out for this band; they have something special…” – AveNoctum.com

KREATOR – Charity Prints

Commented KREATOR mainman and active vegan Mille Petrozza: “Our favorite artist Jan Meininghaus did an amazing job creating the cover art for Dying Alive and the prints look just awesome. We are happy to support PETA and all the hard-working people who help to make this world a better place – not only for humans, cats, dogs and other pets, but for ALL our animal friends on this planet.”

Added PETA Germany representative Jobst Eggert: Animals need our voice as they can´t speak for themselves. We are happy that the animals have such a strong and charismatic voice like Mille’s who stands up for their rights. Making people aware of wrongs in this world is something KREATOR and PETA have in common and we are extremely grateful that the proceeds from these auctions will help us keeping up our work and make this world a better place for animals.“
