METALITALIA Festival 2019 first bands announcement

The Metalitalia.com Festival team – Metalitalia.com, Vertigo and Eagle Booking Live Promotion – is very proud to reveal the dates and the first confirmed acts of the 2019 edition of the festival, which will take place once again at the Live Music Club in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan), Italy.

This time the event will take place over two days in spring: on Saturday 1st June and Sunday 2nd June.

We're still working on various other things behind the scenes which we'll bring to you in due course, including the side programme and of course the full line-up and day schedules. In the meantime, we're extremely happy to be adding some cool bands to the festival with this announcement.

DAY 1 – Saturday, 1st June

The headlining act of the first day of the festival will be Sweden's ARCH ENEMY! The Michael Amott led band, recently brought to the apex of his success by the charismatic singer Alissa White-Gluz is without a doubt one of the leaders of the modern thrash-death metal scene. ARCH ENEMY will be joined by Italian symohonic death metal masters FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, who are about to release a new and highly anticipated album. The band will perform with an impressive production in an exclusive show on Italian soil.
Never the most prolific of bands, nor the most well-known, nevertheless DARKANE have offered some of the most intelligent thrash-death metal throughout the years. For the occasion, the Swedish band will play their masterpiece "Rusted Angel" in its entirety!

DAY 2 – Sunday, 2nd June

The second day of the event will be fully dedicated to hard rock and classic metal. The bill will be topped by Swiss hard rockers GOTTHARD: the band boasts a big following in Italy and they will come down to Milan for a very special show. Co-headliners of this second day will be Sweden's HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, who are absolute masters at mixing sleaze, glam, metal and catchy choruses.
Finally, we are pround to announce another piece of metal and rock history: Phil Campbell, the legendary guitarist of MOTÖRHEAD, who shared the stage with Lemmy for 32 years, will join us for an an explosive show based on recent cuts from his new album under the PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS banner and many MOTÖRHEAD hits!

Once again, please stay tuned for more details and news!

Apes Of God will release new EP on Death In Pieces Records

Apes Of God will release their new EP on Death In Pieces Records on Feb. 25 2019. They are streaming one of the songs via No Clean Singing Soundcloud in the link below. Definitely worth listening to this Salvadorian death thrash metal outfit.

Listen exclusively on No Clean Singing HERE

Visit the band here

The promo states:

DEATH IN PIECES RECORDS presents APES OF GOD’s newest EP "Procession of Death", which contains four new deadly tracks, full of Centro American rage and darkness.

This is filthy and destructive death metal attack, created with incisive thrash metal elements, old school spirit and very bad blood.

This EP includes two live tracks recorded at Megarock Fest 2018

"Apes of God cycle through riffs that are vicious and cruel, savage and swarming, fast and jolting. Driven by a blood-pumping rhythm section, the music exudes a vibrant electricity but also murderous hostility, thanks in part to the bestiality of the vocalist’s growls" -No Clean Singing-

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions welcome sewer dwelling Death Metal serial killers RUIN to the roster with the vicious collection entitled Plague Transmissions: Vol. I.

Formed back in 1991 in California, not much is known about these miscreants other than the fact that various members of the band were incarcerated and institutionalized, causing Ruin to disband at some point during that year. Rumors have swirled that band members were, and still are, part of some sort of cult... and after lying dormant for 14 years RUIN were resurrected in 2015.

Plague Transmissions: Vol. I is a compilation of Ruin's material originally puked out on Cassette and Vinyl, and is unleashed here for the first time on CD format! Totally crushing and unrelenting Death Metal terror featuring cuts from splits with Violation Wound, Anarchus, Ghoulgotha and Thy Feeble Saviour, including covers of tracks originally recorded by N.M.E.and Discharge. This is full on Heavy Death in it's most raw and sickening form... utterly disgusting material not for wimps and only for the sick! For fans of Abhorrence, Anatomia, Autopsy, early Bolt Thrower, Cenotaph, Cianide, Crematory, Demigod, Disma, early Grave, Rippikoulu, Rottrevore and Undergang.

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.

The Hypothesis release new single 'Illusion Now'

Following on from their acclaimed debut Origin, Finnish melodic death metal quintet The Hypothesis today release their first new music since summer 2016. "With 'Illusion Now', The Hypothesis comes with a darker and heavier grip with a beautiful and melancholic chorus. The song itself tells about going to a place so dark, that you want to give up on everything and just let go," comments band leader Jusso Turkki

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
