Transcending Obscurity Records 2023 label sampler Featuring art by Mark Riddick

 It's time for the annual Transcending Obscurity label sampler and we're extremely pleased with how this one turned out. It's a good mix of known label bands (Eternal Storm, Feral, Crawl, Warcrab, etc.) and new ones and we'll be revealing more information about their releases shortly. Not all of them will be released this year but you all can definitely look forward to imminent releases from Lurk, Decipher, Vomitheist, Burial Hordes, and where the new sampler bands go, ones from Gateway, Dead and Dripping, Serpent of Old, Thorn, Crawl + Feral (split release), Terra Builder, etc. Phew!


But first things first; please find the new 2023 label sampler which is for free download on the label's Bandcamp AT THIS LINK. 

Info -

The 2023 label sampler is our boldest one yet for which the order has been kept in an instinctive manner rather than following a strict genre-wise or hierarchical structure. It reflects our inclination towards the more contemporary styles even though most of the bands are unique in their own ways and they all bring something of their own to the compilation. It also happens to be among our shortest one so far and it would've been shorter had several bands not submitted their songs at the last moment just to be a part of this, despite their upcoming releases still being in varying stages of completion. We look forward to a promising year filled with releases from acts both known and obscure and hope to appease fans of various styles from all over the world as always.

All the proceeds from this sampler will go towards the daily feeding and welfare of the 30 adopted stray cats and dogs on Transcending Obscurity premises.

 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music News and Interviews. Our readers are excited to get to know you and your band. Could you give us a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? Hey! After Infinity is a new Finnish heavy/power metal band. Our music is a nice combination of heavy riffs, catchy melodies and symphonic orchestra with some unexpected twists here and there. 2- "A Game of Chess" is the band's upcoming single. How long did it take to compose and record it? We started writing songs for the upcoming album in 2021. Once all the songs were ready and demoed, we recorded most of the instruments in the summer and autumn of 2022. The last recordings took place in the spring of 2023, and we went into mixing. A Game of Chess was the third song we mixed, and soon after it was finished we decided to master and release it to give people the first taste of AI! 3- What musical influences inspire the band's compositions? We love how Dream Theater combines heavy

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made
