Osada Vida, one of the most interesting Polish bands on the prog-metal scene, return with a brand new album. “Particles” is their first release after the line-up change in 2012, when Marek Majewski (ex-Acute Mind) joined the band as their new vocalist. New album includes 9 new tracks plus a brilliant cover of Metallica's track "Master of Puppets". One of the tracks include a guest vocal appearance by Sivy known from the Polish metal band Tuff Enuff. New album was just reviewed by the ProgArchives’ journalist:
“Steelhammer” heißt es, das neue Album von U.D.O.. Am 24. Mai (USA: 21. Mai) wird das neue Werk der German Metal-Institution als CD, Ltd. Digipak, Ltd. 2-Vinyl und Ltd. Fan Package veröffentlicht.
Einen ersten Vorgeschmack liefert der Album-Teaser.
Ungarns Neo Thrash-Helden EKTOMORF werden sich nächste Woche auf Tour mit ILL NINO begeben. Aber vorher gibt es noch den brandneuen Videoclip, der zum Titelsong des aktuellen Albums, “Black Flag”, gefilmt wurde.
Firefield Records vermelden stolz, dass die Regensburger Melodic Death-Metalheads von Burden Of Life mit ihrem neuen Album THE VANITY SYNDROME zur FFR-Familie gehören! Die Band gewann den letzten Band-Contest beim geschätzten Internet-Sender "Metal Only" und hat mit dem bekannten Produzenten Rolf Munkes (u.a. Tony Martin, Majesty) ein echtes Monsteralbum produziert.
The Finnish hardcore riff monsters Perikato grind the defense to pieces with their merciless punk rock. The band’s expressive bursts keep the spirit of Kirous, Isterismo, and Bastards alive, and their relentless and violent soundscape can be traced back to the early days of grindcore and powerviolence. Perikato’s new 7” Kovat Ajat E.P. will make you run through a stone wall!
Ein weiterer Re-Release aus dem PAGAN ALTAR Lager. Dieses Album ist von 2006 und wir marschieren in großen Schritten auf das brandneue Album zu. Hier jedoch zunächst dieses:
01.03. PAGAN ALTAR - "Mythical and Magical" (CDSM/Soulfood)
From the wizard's bag of Cruz Del Sur's magic tricks here comes the re-issue of the long awaited youngest Pagan Altar album to date: “Mythical & Magical”.
The Maya didn’t know anything, whereas Hebosagil knows when the hour comes, when it’s time for Lähtö, and their manner of exiting is big, loud, penetrating, and hard to the core. From the fallout, the radiometers are detecting remnant radiation from Slayer and Melvins, while the cockroaches may still recognise the brutal beat of Radiopuhelimet and Unsane.
Sokea Piste have been at it since 2008 and have previously released one 7” and one 12”, which were favorably received in the punk scene and beyond. Comparisons to a wide variety of bands on the noisier and gloomier side of punk have been thrown around to describe their sound, though as per usual all this is better taken with a grain of salt.
