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.

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
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...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
