Toxic Holocaust - Chemistry Of Consciousness - promo cover pic

Today Portland Metal/Punk unit, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, in conjunction with mega music portal, Vevo, unveils their latest audiovisual undertaking for the track, “Acid Fuzz.” The Technicolor animation film was created by director Adam Avilla and comes on the eve of the official North American release of Chemistry Of Consciousness!

Kick your Monday in the buttcheeks with the ultra-evil, deviously absorbing, tripnotic cartoon adventures of “Acid Fuzz” at THIS LOCATION. 

Chemistry Of Consciousness was recorded by the band, mixed with Kurt Ballou (Converge) at GodCity Studio and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, From Ashes Rise, Nails) at Audiosiege Engineering. Easily TOXIC HOLOCAUST’s most musically and conceptually mature undertaking to date, the record has earned critical fuck-yeahs globally for its blazing riffs, gravelly, venom-coated vocals, and a deadly fixation on the evil in man and a post-apocalyptic world all wrapped in a DIY attitude. Think Discharge on speed; Slayer with a punk rock chip on its shoulder, The Exploited on a Metallica overdose… Chemistry Of Consciousness is currently streaming in its entirety, courtesy of Relapse Records, HERE.

DYING GORGEOUS LIES – Digital EP “Rising Hate” Is Out Now; Second Studio Album To Follow In 2014

Dying Gorgeous Lies - band logo - 2013Dying Gorgeous Lies - promo band pic - 2013 - #1

When the style definition “Female fronted Thrash Metal” is used, inclined Metalheads always hope impatiently for a completely unleashed and dangerous, wild, vocal storm of throat-amazons. Regarding to this, one gets well treatment by DYING GORGEOUS LIES.

Unbridled musical attitude namely gets fullest correspondence, at this extensive and adept high-speed note-command in all matters; and this includes even just the mangy as well as decayed, but always worth hearing variable micro-output of the prestigious wildcat Liz Gorgeous.

Founded in 2009, the enthusiastic Upper Franconian bunch of Thrashers around front-fury Liz worked out an enormous agile, rythmicized sound of pure defiance. The results are varied songs, which doesn’t lack neither of refined structures nor of catchy moments.

This allows the troupe to create easily animating needs for movement. In the homeland of the dynamic chapel, the famous German beer and brewer city Kulmbach, Metalheads already recognize and appreciate the formation fully.

Currently DYING GORGEOUS LIES keep their Digital EP Rising Hate in the race. Rising Hate is intended as an effective appetizer for their upcoming second studio album, which will be on the market in 2014.

DESTRUCTION – REMINISCE ROCK IN RIO

Destruction - promo group pic - 2012 - #1

DESTRUCTION – After taking part in this years’ Rock In Rio Festival, German Thrash Metal veterans DESTRUCTION reminisce on what will definitely stick out as a highlight of their long-lasting career. The legendary mega event started in 1985 with top acts like QUEEN, AC/DC, THE SCORPIONS, IRON MAIDEN and many more, playing in front of 1, 3 million visitors. The following events Rock In Rio II and Rock In Rio III took place with a ten years between them – in 1991 and 2001. In 2004 the festival relocated from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon and in an additional version in Madrid. For its tenth anniversary, Rock In Rio returned to its roots. This years’ Rock In Rio, which was again held in the Brazilian capital, saw another brilliant line-up featuring SEPULTURA, IRON MAIDEN, METALLICA and of course DESTRUCTION.

Destruction - Schmier - Rock In Rio - 2013 - publicity - #1

Front force Schmier (Bass, Vocals & Hate) commented stunned: 

“The air was clearly filled with tension before our appearance at the biggest and most renowned Festival of our time. In Brazil and even all of Latin America this event brings along giant media coverage, in a way I’ve never seen before. During an entire week all performances are aired live on TV, newspapers feature specials and cover stories, soda cans have special printings on them and everybody is only talking about the festival. The pride of the whole nation is focused on Rio during these nine days! Even soccer is second string for this period and we all know how important it is to Latin American countries! Even for ripped-off geezers like us there are still highlights to come and Rock In Rio festival with its fan euphoria (at the airport there were fans jumping at your every other moment) was a sensational experience. Before it we’ve already spend a week in South America getting ready and we were hot! The show, were our Brazilian buddies of KRISIUN supported us as guests, was just as insane as one imagines it to be with this kind of magnitude in Brazil. Several huge circlepits and tens of thousands of fists in the air celebrating the German Thrash Metal as if we had reinvented it! Total madness! When I come to look back on my carrier someday, Rock In Rio will stick out as one of its highlights. Having the people go nuts because of the event for almost a week, in a way that is only possible in Brazil: Pure joy of life and euphoria together with the ferocity of the latinos! Just terrific! Thank you Brazil for having us experience this, the craziest fans on earth definitely live in Latin America!!!”

SYLOSIS – After Tour Bus Accident, Band Needs Support From Metal Community

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, news, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on September 28, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Sylosis - Tour Bus Crash - pic - 2013 - Sept. 26

SYLOSIS – As many of you know (or may not know), Sylosis was involved in a terrible tour bus crash, this past week. Fortunately there were no casualties; however there were injuries, resulting in the band’s tour cancellation with Trivium and DevilDriver. Money is now a huge issue for these unfortunate Metal lads from Reading, England.

I’ve posted below, the (2) actual Facebook entries from Sylosis’s guitarist/vocalist Josh Middleton. Maybe you can (please) help this great Metal band get back on their feet to recover their funds lost, due to this accident. Metal be thy name.

Sylosis - Monolith - promo banner pic - 2012

As reported by guitarist/vocalist Josh Middleton, on the Sylosis Facebook page, on September 26th.

Hey guys. Josh here again and again wanting to thank everyone for their support these past few days. It’s been overwhelming.

We’re really feeling it pretty hard today and are looking like a bunch of slow, old men when we walk. Aside from the physical issues that prevent us from continuing on with the tour it has also put us in thousands of pounds worth of debt due to losing the deposit (and now paying extra) on the RV, damaged trailer, booking new flights home, equipment damage and we’re now incurring all kinds of transport/accommodation costs as we make our journey home.

The last thing we want is for people to think we’re now cashing in on the accident and taking advantage of people’s sympathy, but we need some help right now so we’ve just released two exclusive tshirts where all the profits will go towards clearing our debts. Both of the shirts are available as a pre-order.

http://sylosis.myshopify.com/

One is the tour tshirt (now with the majority of the dates cancelled) and the other is a brand new design we were waiting to release when we launch all our new designs in the a few months time. We like the idea of you guys helping us and actually getting something for your money but we will also accept paypal donations of any kind to:

sylosis@hotmail.com.

I can’t stress enough that we do not intend to exploit the situation.

Thanks to all of you guys and the entire metal community right now for showing us so much support these past few days.

________________________________________

Below is an injury and band status report for Sylosis, As reported by guitarist/vocalist Josh Middleton on the Sylosis Facebook page on September 25th, 2013:

Hey everyone, Josh here. Myself, Rob and Bailey have just been released after over ten hours in hospital. Carl is being kept in overnight as he’s in too much pain to walk but should hopefully be released tomorrow morning (Montreal time) once some of his muscle pain/swelling has subsided.

All four of us and our driver were hospitalised but seeing as Bailey was the only one who didn’t get taken in on a stretcher and a neck brace he wasn’t treated as urgently. He’s just had his back sewn up and is off to the scrap yard where the RV was taken to get people’s clothes and some personal items – hero.

We’re all very lucky. We’ve mostly just been stitched up (my eyebrow, a few on Carl’s legs and Bailey’s back), badly bruised and what feels like full body whiplash. In car accident terms we’re alright but in general terms we’re not physically capable of continuing on with the tour and aim to get back to our families and friends asap to recover.

We want to thank the paramedics, the passers-by who came to our help, the staff at the hospital and all of the fans and bands that have wished us well. It means the world to us.

Stay safe,

Josh

On September 27th, 1986, Clifford Lee “Cliff” Burton passed away from injuries sustained in a bus accident, in Sweden, at the very young age of 24. It seems like yesterday, when I first heard the tragic news. I feel lucky, no, I feel blessed that I was able to see Cliff Burton perform live on stage, with Metallica, so many years ago.

There shall never be another bassist like Cliff Burton. I and my fellow Metal brethren shall celebrate the Metal accomplishments of Cliff Burton, today and every day. Life is to be cherished. Metal be thy name.

 _____________________________________________

A furious and infectious maelstrom of doom-infused thrash mastery, Dark Path – the blazing debut LP from the Harrison-based EARTHLING quartet — was released via their cohorts at Forcefield Records in May, and was well-received by humans involved in the underground music media as well as innocent bystanders. Through an organic, blackened, thrashing hybrid of metal drawing influences from across the spectrum of extreme music, the band’s corrosive live attack was finally captured on record.

Recorded by Garret Morris (Windhand, Cough, Parasytic, Bastard Sapling) and mastered by Mikey Allred (Inter Arma, Hellbender, Across Tundras), Dark Path is a coarse, diverse display of the band’s terrorizing spirit; a ravenous force that has guided the group through countless shows, relentless demo recordings, and over five years of sheer sacrifice.

Stream all of Dark Path AT THIS LOCATION.

Critical Praise:

“…a ripping blend of crust and proto-black metal riffs that boil from a vast melting pot of extremity; their truly diverse extreme sound also brings with it the incessant need to thrash.” – Terrorizer

 

“…like bong ripping yourself into a black hole where the other side is the embodiment of Mob Rules era Sabbath with the addition of some major Mega Man shred duals.” – Mxdwn

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.“

PETA Deutschland e.V. is a an affiliate of PETA USA who is the biggest animal rights organization (more than 3 million supporters) worldwide whose main goal is to raise awareness by revealing animal cruelty, wise up the general public and change ways of life to help every animal living a better life.
