Warforged announce full length I: Voice via The Artisan Era on May 10th

Warforged announce new album I: Voice coming May 10 on The Artisan Era


The promo states:
Every so often, a band comes along that generates praise and attention for all the right reasons, and, not always due to having a label or marketing power behind them. Chicago, Illinois-based progressive death metal group Warforged achieved that with their completely independently released 2014 EP, Essence of the Land. An effort rightly lauded far and wide not just by the underground, but also by larger outlets such as Metal Injection, Metal Sucks, Heavy Blog Is Heavy, No Clean Singing, and just as widely praised by death metal fans as well. The group generated massive buzz purely off the strength of their innovative music then, and are finally ready to return with a follow up worthy of building upon the strong foundation Warforged established previously on that release and on their standalone near eight-minute 2015 single, "Two Demons".



Several years in the making, Warforged is proud to officially announce the upcoming May 10th release of their new full-length album, I: Voice through The Artisan Era. If Essence of the Land was the metal scene's entrance into the group's boundary-shaking brand of progressive death metal enhanced by black metal, then I: Voice is its worthy successor that sees the group diving deeper into expansive terrain both harsh and light driven by theatrical flair and packed with densely packed compositions drawing from worlds old and new in order to create their own style of death metal that seems to inhabit its own world in and of itself.



 The cover art for I: Voice was handled by renowned artist Samuel Nelson (Stigma Art) who previously worked with the band to create the artwork for their prior 2014 release and is well-known for his album art crafted for groups such as First Fragment, Virvum, Un, and many more. The release is supported by numerous high-profile guest spots from seasoned metal musicians including Gorguts guitarist Kevin Hufnagel, ex-Exivious/ex-Cynic guitarist Tymon Kruidenier, Alkaloid guitarist Christian Münzner, Artificial Brain vocalist Will Smith along with his bandmate and Revocation guitarist Dan Gargiulo, Narcotic Wasteland/ex-Nile guitarist Dallas Toller-Wade, Native Construct/Replacire guitarist Poh Hock, Entheos drummer Navene Koperweis on a guest guitar spot, and many more.

It's no coincidence so many of the extreme metal worlds best players were on board to contribute something to I: Voice, as it speaks directly to the quality of the release and the bands unique sound. I: Voice will strongly appeal to fans of Opeth, Portal, and Lantlos as primarily cited by the band.

Stay tuned for the first single to air next week and additional content to continue to be unveiled leading up to the release. For now, the band has crafted a unique guitar medley playthrough driven album teaser video for I: Voice which can be viewed through the following link below.

Warforged comments on the upcoming release of I: Voice
I: Voice” is the sum of 5 years of creativity and focused work. The music plays as a stream of consciousness - jumping often from one area of the metal spectrum to the next with recurring melodies and vibes throughout for the purpose of bringing about an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Since Essence Of The Land & "Two Demons" came out, we worked to build upon and elaborate on our musical style and mission statement. From what started as an idea of modern death metal with hints at black metal evolved into a more progressive, unique, and “epic” ethos. Horrifying & beautiful, dynamic & aggressive, harmony found through dissonance, an ebb and flow through drama and resolution, a flirtation with memory, a call for collaboration, personality, and reality  - immense emotional energy seamlessly woven within the death metal genre.

A Novelist is streaming their upcoming release on Invisible Oranges

A Novelist is about to release their brand new album Folie on February 8th. The band is currently streaming the album in its entirety thru Invisible Oranges. It is a pleasure to listen to the vast amount of melodies and complex arrangements being expressed here. More details below.


The promo states:
Louisiana-based progressive death metal project A Novelist is finally on the cusp of releasing their sophomore full-length, Folie, this Friday, February 8th. The band once again enlisted the talents of renowned sound engineer Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, Wretched, etc.) to ensure the best possible production for their new album.

 A Novelist is the creative partnership of drummer Alex Babineaux and vocalist, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Nugent. Started in 2009 between friends in Lafayette, Louisiana, they began with the simple goal of writing and playing death metal. Over time their goals as a band grew larger, driven by a bold desire to expand the idea of what death metal can be through free and uncompromised expression. Listen now at this LOCATION

Ben Nugent - Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keys, Effects (Nethermost Majesty)
Alex Babineaux - Drums (Nethermost Majesty)

Invisible Oranges comments on today's album stream of A Novelist - Folie
"Project co-conspirators Ben Nugent (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards) and Alex Babineaux (drums) have matured significantly since A Novelist’s debut album Portraits: from its unbridled musicianship to its effortless synchrony, Folie feels emergent rather than constructed (more free-form dance than dress rehearsal). Across its 12 tracks, the album pirouettes from melodic bursts of speed and energy (further amplified by Nugent’s dazzling clean vocals) to moody, ambient moments of reflection — and even though transitions are aplenty and often abrupt, no musical idea feels underexplored or underutilized."

Sinnrs - Profound self released

A powerful and melodic landscape. The album Profound by Sinnrs was made available to the world via the bands Bandcamp site and it is worth listening to every track.


The promo states:
"Profound”  is the debut full-length from danish melodic black metal duo Sinnrs, which merges the furious brutality of extreme metal with the elegance of opera and classical music, offering a dimensional musical experience in pure dark matter. The juxtaposition of punishing guitar riffs and relentless blastbeats with symphonic arrangements and soaring vocals is fascinating in the way it highlights the inherent differences and similarities these genres have. While classical fans might balk at the savagery of Sinnrs’ sound, metal enthusiasts will enjoy getting swept up in the epicness the classical elements bring to the table. Whichever side you might fall on, “Profound” is an honest manifest that makes a wonderful spectacle out of rather unlikely pairing.

The album was mixed and mastered at the Hertz Studios in Poland (Behemoth, Vader and Decapitated).

Label: Self-released
Genre: Orchestral Black/Death metal – Dark matter

Tracklist:
01. Nihil
02. To Derive Eden's Flame
03. The Storm of I
04. Lift My Bones
05. Renowned Praetorians
06. No Promise to Mankind
07. It Calls Me
08. Et Sic Incipit
09. Watch Her Soul Burn
10. Commemorate None



Line-up:
Nero: Guitar/vocals/orchestrals
Maestus: Drums

Transcending Obscurity release a fifty band label sampler for download

Take a good listen to this news from Transcending Obscurity. They are offering up some amazing music and you can check it out right this moment in the links below. While you there get yourself some merch and spread the word.


We're thrilled to put out our new free-for-download label sampler that features exactly 50 bands from all over. We've come a long way doing this from a small bedroom in Mumbai, India when the idea of doing this for a living seemed all too fanciful. After tons of rejections from both bands and potential customers, we're finally getting around to convince some of them that despite our geographical disadvantage, we can still do things in a significant manner. Circa 2019, we have two exclusive stores for US and Europe, in addition to ground distribution in two continents, while of course running our popular Bandcamp page and official store on our website. It's not been easy but we're not stopping any time soon. Please check out our new label sampler AT THIS LINK to get a glimpse into what's coming from our side this year.

We've also put out new merch to commemorate the same, staying true to our roots while continually transcending obscurity.


Transcending Obscurity (India) - '2019 Label Sampler' (January 17th, 2018)

Genre - Death Metal, Crust, Grindcore, Black Metal, Noise, Thrash Metal, Doom Metal, Sludge
Release Date - January 17rd, 2018
Record Label - Transcending Obscurity Records

This is our most ambitious sampler yet. It includes many new signings that we've worked hard on and which we hope you will enjoy. These are but songs off some very good albums to serve as a microcosm for what's to come. It's going to be our biggest year without a shadow of doubt. Like before, it starts off with the focus on death metal and grind, then to some very selected black metal and lastly, slowing things down in style with some expansive doom metal from all over. Each band brings its own sound to the sampler, further enhancing the overall appeal of what we're striving to achieve with the label, working with variety and depth culled from the underground and taking it higher. The keyword here is 'emerge' and if any of these acts get better noticed after we're done with it, our purpose will have been achieved.

This is a pay-what-you-want compilation and any amount that is donated will be used towards the making of the upcoming hoodies and merch which has the fantastic front and back artwork exclusively created by the Italian designer View From The Coffin. We will also be looking forward to upgrading our packaging and offering more goodies with these artworks in the new year.

Russian Death Metal Vol. 5

Symbol Of Domination, Armaada Art, American Line, Sevared Records and Darknagar Records present this massive release featuring eighteen extreme death metal bands from Russia. 



The opening band is The Mutilator, "Decent Elimination", with a name like that you know its going to be intense. They surely deliver aggression, surprisingly there is a clean melodic riff that comes out of nowhere and its a nice touch. Next we have, House of The Butcher, with blasting double kicks and blistering speed, they waste no time crushing the senses. Band number three are called Contrabandist with the song "Fat Fitness", brutal and potent, the bass lines really stand out and its a great song to jam to. Number four is the band Brainteasers, the song is "Little Fucker Factor", guttural and massive is my first impression, maybe not as fast as the previous bands, but, I think that's what makes them stand out. Number five is the band Cane Will Rise with the song "Born in Sand", low to high death metal vocals and massive double kick drums are presented with menacing force, great production too, I definitely played this one several times. Number six is the band Embodied Deception with the track "Playing With Your Mind", catchy riffs and very potent vocal attack, no shortage of brutality here, the solo in this song delighted my ears. In short, pure intensity and delivery of aggression. Number seven is the band Corvus Lives Again with the song "Shail", a dual vocal attack is noticeable at the onset, catchy riffs and strong bass lines are expressed with precision, a definite stand out from this compilation. Number eight is the band The Faceless Hunter, and their song "The Prophet", certainly different opening to this compare to the previous bands. I will have to say that this is a more progressive composition and is a bit technically in writing style. Number nine is the band Rotting Butcher with"Eaten By Sakhalin", my first impression is the embodiment of classic death metal style, simple yet devastating and catchy. Next band is Unplexiety with "Extreme Reality",  complex riffs fill my ears. An exciting mix of progression and brutality, I will be definitely looking for more music by this band. There's a lot happening in this song, very proficient musicians indeed. Number eleven is Marble Carrion with "Vitoria", extreme guttural sample, imaging someone is meeting their end, then the music hits and it just comes in with pure velocity, punishing sounds at every turn, its worthy of playing this track several times, crushing. Number twelve is Rage Of Kali with "With Clusters Stand Divides", a punishing assault with penetrating riffs, low gutturals will send chills down your spine. Next is number thirteen Poghost with "The Dicktator", compare to the past few bands, these guys are raw. Next up is number fourteen, Teodolit with "Blood Soaked Revenge", another dual vocal attack, blistering drums heavy bass tones and punishing guitar riffs, spin this one several times. Number fifteen is the band 602 with "Axes", wishing the drums could be more audible but not a huge deal, I like the solos and creative bass lines. Next is number sixteen the band The Serpent and The Rainbow, with their song "Seeker", an interesting mix with keyboards and a mix of high vocals and gutturals, certainly a welcome change compared to the previous bands. Number eighteen is The Nameless with "The Last Word", a much different approach taking from the classic dm style of early nineties, its fiiting and easy to get into. Finally we have Bridge To Infinity, the song is "The Storm Is Coming", progressive riffs and melodic passage are a welcome to my ears after listening to a monument of heavy tones, this is well executed and features some nice melodies mix with brutality. ~Artemortifica

Evil Nerfal - Bellum Est Pater Omnium

Evil Nerfal is a black metal band from Colombia.
Website facebook-EvilNerfal Album released through Grimm Distribution and Morbid Skull records.


Bringing us closer to the void. Bellum Est Pater Omnium is an album featuring ten tracks.
The amount of melodic and technical riffs in this release is impressive. Yes, definitely black metal at its roots, but the more you listen the more convinced of the complexity of music arrangements. You can clearly hear it in the song  "En las Fauces del Demonio" it is very evident that these are very talented musicians. Let's chat about drums.
With the majority of songs, the drum keep up with great intensity and offer interesting fills to keep you on your toes. The band had a previous album in 2016 that is also worth checking out.

In conclusion, if you want brutal and dark than look no further.

Taiga - Cosmos

Taiga is a two piece band, members are Nikolay Seredov - Vocals, guitar and drums. Alexey Korolev Keyboards. Music style is listed as, depressive black metal.
Band location, Russia. Visit the band at this location.



Cosmos album released Final Gate Records. A force to be reckon with. The music is powerful and well arranged. This project featuring only two memebers delivers a massive amount of materail and imagination. At melodic and at chaotic. This volitile chemistry
is stiched together perfectly and wraps its sonic tentacles deep inside the mind. Songs like "Религия мёртвых" and "Космос" are perfect examples of  this expression. Production quality is very good. A cohesive and well produced album. Vocals are most certainly depressive and have a way of delivering a certain anguish and pain to every song within. 

In conclusion, a journey through the abyss. Pain and suffering expressed through chaotic hymns that deliver an impact.
~Artemortifica


Bestialord - Law Of the Burning

Bestialord is a three piece band from Wichita Kansas, members are Mark Anderson - Guitar & Vox, Rob Harris - Bass, Chris Johnson - Drums
Music style is listed as, Occult Horror Metal. Visit the band at this location



Law of Burning album released on CSR and Symbol Of Domination. Featured here are nine tracks that will haunt your mind. The classic tones of early metal can be heard profoundly in each composition. Living up to the expection layed out in the description
'Occult Horror", the music will make you feel like you have been transported into one of many classic horror films like a menacing Dario Argento Suspiria or John Carpenter The Thing. Some of the stand out songs for me would be "All Fall Down" and "I am Pain".
Don't expect a clean polished production here, it is more of a raw and grit recording, which is a perfect fit for the intent of the sound. Heavy bass lines and some awesome lead guitar riffs. The vocals are well understood, which is something I prefer. Its a great thing to 
be able to understand the lyric content without having to decipher through a bunch of growls. 

In conclusion, the theme and delivery is established withing the first few songs and made crystal clear. Raw and relentless power that goes well with any of
your favorite horror films.
~Artemortifica

Inhibitions - La Danse Macabre

Inhibitions is a two piece band, members are Dimons Night drums, guitars,bass,keybords,vocals,music production. Pain-vocals,guitars. 
Music style is listed as, Black Metal. Band location, Greece.
Visit the band at facebook-INHIBITIONS


La Danse Macabre album released on Satanath Records. Ten songs of punishing intensity.
Creating an atmosphere of dark roads and distant voids, the music delivers compositions with elaborate keyboard pieces. Songs like "My Journey to Death" and "Eternal Winter" are a perfect example of the mix with brutal riffs and melodic arrangements. The song "Back To The Dust", is one of my favorites from this release. A well thought out expression of sorrow and deep sadness. They end this album with the song K.I.N.G. which happens to be a Satyricon cover and they do a great performance of it. 

In conclusion, a journey of obscure dark voids and sad melodic expressions. I would definitely recommend this to any listener of the old school as well as younger generation of metalheads.

Neter is a four piece band from Spain, members are Manuel Gestoso: Vocals & Guitars, Andrés Rosales: Bass,  Manuel Sánchez: Guitars, Luis Ruiz: Drums 
Music style is listed as, death metal.



From the moment I heard the first riffs I was drawn in right away. The music is well planned and delivered in a brutal form. Catchy and melodic arrangements can be heard on all the songs. Rooted in the death metal pillars of original formulas but most definitely adding their own flovor to make their own brew of catchy and moving composition. Songs like "Atlantis of the Sands", "Rebirth of the Overthrown" and "Primordial Entity"
are amongst favorites from this release. Crushing drums with blistering double bass kicks and huge guitar tone bringing all together in a devastating package.

In conclusion, the band unleashes a crushing blow with every song. Each one building higher and higher making your blood start pumping. A must for any death metal fan who wants something brutal and well executed.
