As their currently ongoing West Coast tour with winds down, Seattle Doom Metal outfit, SAMOTHRACE, confirms their ongoing forage across the continent through the rest of November.

The current tour, booked across the West Coast with SAMOTHRACE co-headlining each show alongside SubRosa, was altered this week when SubRosa was robbed of their gear, forcing them to bow-out early. As SAMOTHRACE finishes out the tour solo, they’ll continue to tear into the Southern and Midwestern end of the country, with three more weeks of shows set to begin this Saturday in Tucson, Arizona, then snaking through Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Utah and Idaho on the way back home.

Samothrace - Reverence To Stone - cover promo!

The acclaimed Reverence To Stone was released in July of 2012 via 20 Buck Spin, the label responsible for unveiling the band to the masses on the masterful 2008 debut SAMOTHRACE album, Life’s Trade. Through two lumbering, expansive tracks, the band explores more cavernous realms of thunderous tone hand-in-hand with even more beautiful and organic elements than ever on Reverence To Stone, all culminating in an incredibly real-sounding, psychedelic doom metal that continues to prove SAMOTHRACE as one of the top bands of the genre.

Since the LP’s triumphant release, the band has trekked across the US regionally several times and also ventured across all of Europe on their debut tour of the continent, and as they continue to book more dates this Autumn, continue their most intense touring cycle in the band’s entire lineage.

Listen to all of Reverence To Stone RIGHT HERE.

Introducing The OBSCENE EXTREME WORLD TOUR For 2014!

Posted in Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on November 7, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Obscene Extreme World Tour 2014 - promo pic

Since the birth of Obscene Extreme back in 1999 exactly 643 (next year will exceed the ‘magic’ number of 666) bands will have played the Obscene Extreme festival. These bands have come from almost every corner of the globe and have attracted hordes of diehard extreme music fans from all over Europe and well beyond its home base in the Czech Republic.

What brings the fans to Obscene Extreme is more than the wide selection of underground grindcore, crust, punk, death, thrash, hardcore and almost every underground style in between, but also the incredible atmosphere, the DIY ethic and the true spirit of community. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or who you are, everyone is the same when you’re in the pit!

“For almost 15 years people have traveled the globe, driven across continents and slept in airports and railway stations to make it to Obscene Extreme, and now Obscene Extreme is making the same effort to come to you once again!!!” states OEF organiser Curby.

“After a really insane OEF World Tour in 2013 with festivals in Mexico, Indonesia and Australia we can say, we will never give up and we are back to do it once again in 2014!!! With the OEF Club World Tour 2014 we are rolling into Japan, Australia and the USA like the United Nations of Grind.”

Check more info on OEF websites and see you soon!!!

Obscene Extreme - Crowd - promo pic - 2013

5 Reasons The Obscene Extreme World Tour Is Going To Blow Your Mind!

1. Truly underground – Obscene Extreme is one of the few truly underground festivals to unite big, genre-defining bands, and small, cult bands.

2. Vegan-friendly – Whatever you do or don’t do, believe or practice, you’re welcome at Obscene Extreme.

3. Fair ticket price. No massive booking agent or energy drink mega-festival bullshit. Obscene Extreme is affordable for everyone.

4. No shitty rules, no shitty security – Stage diving, stage invasions and more, all welcome. Obscene Extreme treats you like people and doesn’t stop you having fun.

5. Grindcore carnival – Wear a gas mask, dress as a goregrind banana. Obscene Extreme is more than a festival – it’s a party!

Welcome to the Obscene Extreme family!!!

BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING Announce Release Date For “THE CRAZIES” – Album Artwork, Plus Track Details

Posted in electro-metal, Hard Rock, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on October 28, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Beauty In The Suffering - The Crazies - promo cover pic

CHICAGO, IL (DLSP) – BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING, the newly launched electro-metal studio project from producer Dietrich Thrall (MARAZENE), will release the bands debut single, “THE CRAZIES”, on November 5, 2013.

Two years in the making, “THE CRAZIES” (The Zombie Song) marks the first new material released by DieTrich since MARAZENE’s 2011’s critically hailed cover of MOTLEY CRUE’s “LIVE WIRE” and subsequent final single “WELCOME TO YOUR HOLIDAY.”

After spending the majority of 2012 locked away in his personal studio writing, arranging, and programming 40+ songs, DieTrich emerged for several minutes to announce his new project only to dive back into a 15 hour marathon studio session with drummer CHRIS EMERY of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE. Other announced studio special guests include AARON “MONTY” MONTGOMERY (TRAPT), ANGEL BARTOLOTTA (DOPE, TEAM CYBERGEIST), CHRIS TELKES (NOCTURNE, THE RAZORBLADE DOLLS), and PROVO PROVENZANO (SKINLAB, RIKETS).

__________________________________________

Provo has also been the engineering force behind the project. Said Provo:BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING is one of the most exciting projects I’ve worked on lately. DieTrich is insanely precise in the studio and has a great vision for where his songs need to be and the DIY ability and attitude to get it done right. DieTrich has also brought in some amazing studio musicians to help round out a unique and catchy collection of gritty and electronic based tunes. I can’t wait to get these songs out for the world to hear!”

BEAUTY IN THE SUFFERING are currently editing multiple full production videos for “THE CRAZIES” (The Zombie Song) as well as two other tracks, “REVEILLE” and “JULIET” that the band plans to drop in the coming weeks. Release dates for the songs and the videos are forthcoming.

ABSU – Trve Brewing Company Announces Collaboration With Band To Release Four Different Beers

Posted in beer, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , , on October 24, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Trve Brewing - Eastern Candle - Absu - 2013 - promo

Denver, Colorado’s Trve Brewing Company is proud to announce details on their upcoming first out of four ales titled Eastern Candle, dedicated to the mythological occult metal act ABSU. In honor of their 20th anniversary second album, The Sun Of Tiphareth, Trve has created the first out of four ales: Eastern Candle – a pale wheat beer fermented with brettanomyces in white wine barrels. The ale is a fine equilibrium of wheat and white wine with a slight, fruit-like yeast character. (Fittingly named after the song Never Blow Out The Eastern Candle).

The three forthcoming beers to be unleashed are the following:

Tiphareth – Red Ale: This will be a soured beer with a mild strain of brettanomyces fermented in red wine barrels. This fusion will have a nice malty, tart, yet dry balance including red wine adding a background complexity.

Manannán – Brown Ale: The Manannán batch will feature rye in the grain bill, as it will be soured and fermented with a shrouded strain of brettanomyces in whiskey barrels. This will be a more assertive brew with malt character and plenty of obscurity from the yeast while also showcasing the barrel flavors.

Winter Zephyr – Black Ale: A dark wheat and dark rye concoction giving the beer its cryptic color. This ale will highlight a fair amount of oats to retain vast body after the brettanomyces have alchemically fermented in wine barrels.

ABSU recently announced details of their upcoming North American Connexus Continuation Tour, the trek to showcase the band performing set with music spanning throughout their twenty-two year recording career. This excursion is a follow-up mini-tour by the Texas-based mythological occult metal trio since the release of Abzu – the second of a planned trilogy of recordings.

Said the band in a collective statement: “With the recent passing of our longtime friend and drummer, Joey LaCaze, there’s no way to pay him a better tribute than EYEHATEGOD performing alongside one of his main influences and favorite musicians!”

EYEHATEGOD will level Housecore with Crover on October 27th at Emo’s in Austin alongside Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Goblin and more.

The band has also booked an additional handful of live takeovers following the fest including a special Halloween show at the fabled House of Shock in Jefferson, Louisiana. The drummer for those dates will be announced in the coming weeks. Confirmed dates are included below.

Belgian Death Metal horde DEHUMAN are hitting the road with the legendary MASTER for the third time. First was their late 2012 “Bleeding Europe Tour”, then both embarked on a weekend tour of the UK in early 2013 and now they’re invading The Balkans together.

From December 12 – 21, DEHUMAN will bring the “Desecrated Deathkult Tour” to seven different countries – Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey – in support of their debut full-length, Black Throne of all Creation, released last year by Kaotoxin Records.

DEHUMAN – BAND BIO:

DEHUMAN was founded in 2006 by 4 teenage devotees of Florida Death Metal but the definitive line-up was only finalized in 2010 with the arrival of drummer Laye. Since then the band has been making a name for itself through regular concerts and tours alongside well-established groups (Possessed, Master, Macabre, Belphegor, Agathocles, Aborted, Prostitute Disfigurment, Severe Torture, Leng Tch’e,Cattle Decapitation, Blood red Throne, Arkangel,etc..) and especially through the release of their first album “Black Throne of All Creation – out now on LP and CD. This sensational debut album, recorded in Blackout studio (Enthroned, Corpus Christi, Emptiness..) in February and March 2011, pushes back the sonic boundaries and takes no prisoners.

Black Throne of All Creation confirmed DEHUMAN as one of the rising stars of European Death Metal and recalls the golden age of death metal with its musical references to Death, Carcass, Suffocation and many others. Building on the foundations of old school Metal, DEHUMAN creates their own sound and technique in a way which is reminiscent of Decapitated or Origin.
