NEUES ALBUM THE FINAL REVOLUTION AM 22.11.2013 EUROPATOURNEE BEGINNT ENDE NOVEMBER
Achtung, Fans, jetzt ist es amtlich: Am 22. November 2013 (Europa 25. November 2013, USA/Canada 3. Dezember 2013) veröffentlicht die amerikanische Hardcore Metal-Legende Pro-Pain ihr neues Studioalbum The Final Revolution. Laut Sänger/Bassist Gary Meskil kehrt die Band mit ihrer 14. Studioscheibe zu typischen Stärken zurück: „Die Musik ist ziemlich düster, zudem erinnern Grooves und Tempi an den klassischen Stil von Pro-Pain, im Gegensatz zu unserem letzten Album Straight To The Dome, das etwas thrashiger klang.”
Although the band has composed since the 90's, the oldest song on the debut album "Songs of Slumber" dates back to 2004. The band consists of two core-members Antti & Timo and to many people's surprise, draws its main influences from outside the metal genre, based on the British atmospheric/progressive rock and shoegazing.
Doomseekers everywhere, listen up, for today Pitchfork is streaming the public's first run-in with some of the year's best thundering riffage, courtesy of German quartet OBELYSKKH. The band's organic, sonic tsunami continually morphs into something new and more memorable with each release, and building on what they've cultivated on their heralded Mount Nysa debut and last year's follow-up White Lightnin', OBELYSKKH have truly shown what they are fully capable of on their pending third LP, Hymn To Pan.
Colours In The Dark, the forthcoming new studio recording from Finnish songstress/former Nightwish soprano, TARJA, is just two weeks away. In celebration of its long anticipated release, today Metal Insider brings fans the epic "Medusa." The eight-plus minute tune features a duet with Blue October's Justin Furstenfeld and serves as the closing to an elegantly heavy, deeply emotional magnum opus. Describes Metal Insider, "From Lacuna Coil-esque goth metal to classical, this haunting track spans genres."
In just days, Vermis -- the already critically-lauded fourth LP from New Zealand death metal innovators, ULCERATE -- will finally see its undeniable release onto mankind via Relapse, the band's maiden release with the label. Following weeks of pre-release commendations from journalists' wide-eyed and fearfully enthralled reactions to this band's relentlessly punishing shock-and-awe performance on Vermis, the album will finally hit on September 17th in North America, preceded by September 13th in Germany and Benelux, and September 16th in the UK and beyond.
Today the metal technicians at Loudwire hurl forth an exclusive premiere of "Worse Than War," the latest video from Denver thrash assassins HAVOK. Directed by Roy Warner who worked on both "From the Cradle to the Grave" and "Point of No Return" clips, the tune comes by way of the recently unleashed Unnatural Selection full-length and addresses the eight stages of genocide: classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination and denial.
Am 30. August erschien mit “Cry Wolf” das zweite Album des Melodic Metal Allstar-Projekts WOLFPAKK. Für den brandneuen Clip zu „Cold Winter“ konnten die beiden Leitwölfe Mark Sweeney (ex-Crystal Ball) und Michael Voss (Mad Max, Casanova) eine der besten weiblichen Stimmen der Szene verpflichten: die von ihrem Mitwirken bei Kiske/Somerville und Avantasia bekannte Amanda Somerville.
Mit “VI” werden die englischen Thrash Metal-Pioniere ONSLAUGHT am 20. September ihr mit Spannung erwartetes neues Album veröffentlichen. Als kleinen Vorgeschmack gibt es schon mal ein Lyric-Video zum Song „Chaos Is King“ zu bestaunen. „VI“ wird als CD, Ltd. Digipak und limitierte Vinyl-Auflage (erhältlich in schwarz und military green) erscheinen.
Vollgasrock aus St. Pauli – dafür sind OHRENFEINDT berühmt und berüchtigt. Die Truppe um Sänger Chris Laut schafft mit ihrem neuen Album „Auf die Fresse ist umsonst“ den Sprung auf Platz 35 der Albumcharts in Deutschland. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
