Cold Colours releases MMXIV digital EP

Via Clawhammer Minneapolis' depressive doom metal entity COLD COLOURS has returned with a new line up and the follow up to 2013's self-titled full-length.  The band's new three-track digital EP, MMXIV, is now available at coldcoloursmetal.bandcamp. 

Expanding on the dark and heavy gothic/doom aura on the self-titled release, MMXIV sees COLD COLOURS reaching new levels of sonic and emotional aggression and depression. And this is just a mere taste of what's to come as the band continues to evolve as both songwriters and performers while crafting new material for the next long-player.

Vestal Claret releases video for "The Stranger"

Via Clawhammer- The Cult of Vestal Claret introduces to the masses a name that thus far has been quite popular only amongst the die-hard fans of the doom metal scene. In fact, Swanson is well renowned for his work with HOUR OF 13 and SEAMOUNT. VESTAL CLARET's pronounced BLACK SABBATH-inspiration together with Swanson's signature doomy style perfectly blends with the band's Traditional Heavy Metal influences, not to mention an accomplished drumming style, cutting guitars and catchy compositions. The morbid-themed lyrics walk hand in hand with the mesmerizing music: VESTAL CLARET celebrates the dark side of the human psyche, with abundant references to Occultism, Satanism and other disturbing imagery.

SERVANTS OF THE MIST to release Gross Knowledge of Genital Mutilation June 24

Via Clawhammer- Tampa merchants of misery SERVANTS OF THE MIST will self-release Gross Knowledge of Genital Mutilation on June 24. Unlike most doom metal and sludge from the American South, the usual bluesy "stoner" trappings are virtually non-existent in the depressive, depraved and terrifyingly abrasive brand of funeral sludge/doom. The new digital EP is the follow-up to last year's well received Suicide Sex Pact EP.

Lyrics:

Forced open wounds
The infection spreads internally
The aberration scars
slowly reap the essence of what life has sown

Doctrines will guide martyrdom toward death

The gallows await the flesh of their necks
the vermin prepare to devour
Relinquish the vein of mortality
to the cold grasp of death

Bearers of ophidian blood
remain stagnant and cold beneath the mantled earth

For in their flesh they will suffer 
and in death a martyr they'll remain
In shallow graves they'll be buried
without a stone to mark where they are lain

The mark of hell is branded on forked tongues
to seek the profane glory of Black Mass genocide
...the Purge

In their flesh they will suffer 
and in death a martyr they'll remain
In shallow graves they'll be buried
without a stone to mark where they are lain

Doctrines will guide martyrdom toward death

Necrotic bones exiled to graves
the vermin prepare to devour
Relinquish the vein of mortality

to the cold grasp of death

Desecration Premiere Debut Music Video ‘Coffin Smasher’ Exclusively With Terrorizer

Band Desecration from the UK released a new video "Coffin Smasher" exclusive on the Terrorizer page.

Official statement by Desecration "“We’ve thought about doing videos for songs in the past. We’ve sat down with people to bounce ideas across for storylines etc. but they’ve never amounted to anything. This time we knew it had to happen with everything being online these days. So we collared Adam Edgerley (drummer Mic and ‘Cemetery Sickness’ producer Joe Thompsons partners at Sonic Forge). We knew Adam would do a fantastic job, and also remain patient while we threw more and more challenging ideas at him. Fair play, we couldn’t be happier with how it came out.

“We chose this song for the video because every time we played it in the rehearsal rooms we knew it was a corker. The lyrical content meant that it was easy enough to think of a narrative for the video too, and we thought it was achievable whilst also being pretty daring.

“The indoor performance shots were recorded in a church that our friend Chi from Spider Kitten owns up in the valleys, and the outdoor scenes we filmed… locally. I don’t want to say much more there, as let’s just say we weren’t supposed to be there.

“Shooting the video was exactly how you would expect digging a 6 foot hole in the pissing rain at night would be. We didn’t want to cut any corners, so everything you see on the video actually happened.”
