A comment from their label 20 Buck Spin:
"Bands mixing sub-genres in underground metal often do so with mixed and inconsistent results. Not so with Chicago’s Immortal Bird who wield their eclectic savagery with meticulous cohesion and sharpened ferocity. Returning with ‘Thrive On Neglect’, the band’s second LP, and first for 20 Buck Spin, Immortal Bird takes the perilous road of musical diversity and command it with a bloodthirsty rage."

Visit 20 Buck Spin Bandcamp for the digital album, as of the posting today Vinyl pressings are sold out but contact the band for more details.

Frost Giant - The Harlot Star streaming at Decibel Magazine

Transcending Records has released The Harlot Star, the new album from troll-ravaged folk-metallers FROST GIANT. The album is streaming in its entirety at this location, courtesy of Decibel, and can be purchased here.

The Harlot Star is an 11-track salute to the glory of battle from one of folk metal's most unique and entertaining bands. FROST GIANT's third full-length is a catchy mix of 90's So-Cal punk, European folk metal and American hardcore rooted in Norse mythology, historical references and general silliness.

FROST GIANT previously released the official video for album cut "Prisoner of the Past." Check it out

Inspired by Norse mythology, epic metal, punk rock, and combined with an American hardcore attitude, FROST GIANT drops an icy hammer on everything trendy and weak. The music pays no attention to boundaries, deliberately crossing genres and bringing them all together in one truly unique sound. From the mead-hall sing along choruses to the shredding melodic death metal passages laced with tortured growls and screams, from the pounding double bass to the pop-punk riffs that linger for days, FROST GIANT's music journeys through stories and lore, bringing to light the tales of old in a modern folk-metal context. Whether they be warm memories of hearth and home, heroic sagas, or tragic remembrances, the songs will carve these colorful volumes into the soul of anyone whose ears they touch.

Beldam album Pasung is streaming now!

Pasung is BELDAM's second release on Horror Pain Gore Death Productions and their first with new vocalist/lyricist Randall Guidry. The band recently relocated to Seattle, continuing their vision to play skull-crushing, soul-wrenching, paint-peeling Sludge with blackened touches. With influences ranging from Sleep, EyeHateGod, Graves At Sea, The Melvins and Black Sabbath, BELDAM combines a massive wall of guitars, thickened bass tones, bone-rattling drums and harsh vocals featuring lyrics building on the themes of death and despair. Pasung clocks in at 50 minutes of pure, unadulterated American Sludge.

Pasung was recorded at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, TN, April 5-7, with additional tracking on August 31 and September 1, 2017. The album was engineered and mastered by Drew Carroll who recorded BELDAM's original 5-song demo in 2015. All guitars and bass on the recording were performed by Grahm Reynolds with the exception of "One from the Stable." Cullen Wade handled the drums on the entire record. Pasung represents the truest BELDAM. The band focused a significant amount of time on songwriting and pre-production to get the heaviest tones and thickest riffs possible. After parting ways with their original bassist and relocating to Seattle, BELDAM is psyched to release Pasung to the masses and play as many shows as possible in its new Pacific Northwest home.

RIYL: Bongzilla, Brainoil, Coffins, Conan, Crowbar, Dopethrone, Grief, High On Fire, Indian, Meth Drinker, Neurosis, Noothgrush, Om, Orange Goblin, Order Of The Owl, Pelican, Primitive Man, Pungent Stench, Rwake, Soilent Green, Sourvein, Sunn O))), Thou, Ufomammut, Weedeater and Zoroaster

8 tracks, 44 minutes of Symphonic, Technical, Melodic Black Death Metal strongly recommended to fans of Dimmu Borgir, Carach Angren, Nile, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hecate Enthroned!

                           

Tragacanth is a black/death metal band with broad symphonic influences. Hailing from the heart of the Netherlands, their songs however tell of ancient Babylonian tales and times. 

Composer and lead guitarist Erik Brouwer set everything in motion in 2014 and soon Jasper van Minnen (theNAME) joined on drums. Adrian “OQ” Neagoe (Negura Bunget) joined on guitar and with Terry Stooker to perform the vocals Tragacanth completed their recording line-up for their debut album, called "Anthology of the East"

Caelestia - Beneath Abyss

Caelestia is a six piece band consisting of  Nikos Palivos - Bass, Panos Varvaropoulos - Guitars, Dimitra Vintsou -Vocals, Vassilis Thomas - Guitars, Aranel - Bass, Vangelis Evangelou - Guitars. Genre described as progressive, symphonic extreme metal. Band origin, Athens.

Beneath Abyss album released on Inverse Records February 16th, 2015. The melodies and progressive riffs coming from this release are epic. The production is top notch. I would say one of my favorite things from this album are the powerful vocals coming from Dimitra Vintsou, she has incredible range and is able to captivate my senses in nearly every song. Beyond the melodies, you can hear some heavy and crushing passages as well. For example the track "Secret Rite" (feat Markus Freiwald - SODOM) is a powerful and memorable tune with excellent solos and devastating drums. "Lake of Decay" is another song I ended up playing several times. "The Grand Sublimation", has a haunting intro and builds into a sonic adventure worthy of a mid-evil film. 

In conclusion, if your looking for intense and devastating metal with captive melodies and epic feelings, then look no further, fans of In Flames, At The Gates, Nightwish, Dissection and Paradise Lost will want to add this to their collection.

Wombbath's much awaited vinyl release out now on Chaos Records

The unheralded classic album from Sweden's legendary death metal history is highlighted in full glory here and more. Remastered by none other than Dan Swano, this album is presented for the first time on official vinyl format for the die-hard maniacs. This band garnered a cult following and it is easy to see why - the music has astonishing heaviness coupled with massive grooves akin to the US death metal bands as well. This is far removed from the typical Swedish death metal sound and yet enriches the image by doing more, way more than most other bands during that time without diminishing the balls-out heaviness. Wombbath have released one of the best albums of their time circa early '90s and this is your final chance to get it on the analog format.

Track list - 
1. Prevent Anemia 
2. Intestinal Bleeding 
3. A Silent As The Grave 
4. A Corporal Punishment 
5. Performed In Depth 
6. Conceal Interior Torments 
7. Beyond The Gloomy 
8. Abandon 
9. Several Shapes 

The full album can be streamed here on the official Chaos Records Bandcamp page
