Prog Metallers THE ADVENT EQUATION Release Video For "A Violent Motion"
"The
Advent Equation is much more of a reflective intellectual style of
metal, ruled by heavy, often somber soundscapes, a mixture of harsh and
clean vocals, crushing rhythms, tons of extremely inventive melodic
lines and an amazing use of keyboardist tremendous skills, especially in
the one keyboard you rarely if ever hear in a metal band, the piano.
Fantastic debut album by this heavy and introspective Mexican
progressive death metal band." - Jeff Stevens, Prog Metal Zone
"This album should be heard by all, not just metalheads, but by anyone who wants to know what beautiful music is all about." - Mr Dread, The Dread Music Review
Monterrey, Mexico-based

THE RETICENT Mastermind Starts Black Metal Project
Chris
Hathcock of THE RETICENT has returned to the realm of extreme music in
the form of black metal project, ZEROMUS. In the vein of bands such as
Gorgoroth and Dark Funeral, ZEROMUS is a straight forward and grim
expression of aggression.
"I
just needed to do something different. The Reticent offers me a lot of
emotional release but sometimes you need to just be outright hostile.
Rather than sing you just want to scream with as much hatred as you can
muster. I love bands like Gorgoroth for their intensity, aggression, and
disregard. This is just my diversion to create and release that
hostility and have some fun."
Hathcock said he plans to release an album with ZEROMUS. An EP titled The Four Fiends
is in the works but release may be delayed due to his work with THE
RETICENT. Two demo tracks have been posted on Reverbnation of the band
and can be found at reverbnation.com/zeromus

false metal by streaming a brand new track from the forthcoming album
from REVEL IN FLESH. The song, entitled "Dominate the Rotten," comes off
the band's forthcoming sophomore release, Manifested Darkness and is currently cracking skulls at this location.

The LP version will be out on April 26th and will include an additional bonus track. The artwork for Manifested Darkness

Reign of Vengeance to Release The Final Solution; The Final Rebellion March 19th
The Final Solution; The Final Rebellion from Arizona Death Metal Unit REIGN OF VENGEANCE will be released March 19th on Synister Empire Records and is crafted in the band's new-school, horror-oriented, death metal format. The new EP features musicians of the already proven and established top tier and Brutal Elite.
Unlike Disemboweling Swine, REIGN OF VENGEANCE's previous release, The Final Solution; The Final Rebellion is a concept EP. Since the release of the last album, front man Marshall "fucking" Beck has plunged himself into the systems and studies of the "Illumed." He has grown to know their aims, their religion, and the goals of its sects. He has been enlightened, having accepted and having realized that the All Seeing Eye controls this realm. He has come to understand that with its guidance and assistance the rewards for those that abide by its will are Many. With the age of Osiris and Isis ended, the New World Age (Order) of Horus shall bring forth a world of peace that shall last throughout the remaining Aeons of time. The second form of Atlantis shall rise forth and bring with it ONLY the enlightened and illuminated individuals.
However, with every revolution there is always ascension. Therefore, in order for ITS quest for world peace to be completed there must first be a massive internment and conflagration/decontamination of the flesh from those that refuse ITS Faith. REIGN OF VENGEANCE's The Final Solution; The Final Rebellion focuses on the cause and unraveling of this conflict. The EP's storyline moves from start to finish. Each song offers up a different piece and perspective of the portrayed conflict as it is witnessed through the eyes of the common tiers, the Occult Elite/Fraternal Orders, and The Master. ▲ But, do not worry common civilians; this EP is all just a work of fiction.... Sleep well.
A video preview of The Final Solution; The Final Rebellion has been posted at this location.  1. Fuck The Recession ; Kill Those That Caused It 2. Amassing Towards Truth 3. The Master's Summons 4. The Grande Hecatomb 5. The Final Rebellion {6. The New Era (Aeon)}* Elitist Package Only
"Elitist Packages" (pictured below) can be purchased by contacting the band and its members directly. Only 13 will ever be issued in order to commemorate the original bloodlines. This package includes a 6th song, "The New Era (Aeon)." This song offers down an entirely different conclusion to the publicly released version.

He has also booked over 450 Metal shows to date for other Metal bands of all tiers throughout the United States.

He has no mercy or empathy towards any other musicians or bands, this stems from the psychology of being a combat seen decorated Army Veteran. With Doug's experience and knowledge for both music and combat REIGN OF VENGEANCE is made an even more BRUTAL force of power both on and off of the stage. James Applegate: A prominent session drummer. James is able to play a variety of music including jazz, psychobilly, pop rock, and of the course the most important- extremely Crushing and BRUTAL Death fucking Metal (both old and New School). James is currently enrolled at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Forbidden Records Streaming New Releases From
A TRANSYLVANIAN FUNERAL and GOATCRAFT on Bandcamp
Forbidden Records has posted full albums streams of the forthcoming albums from ATRANSYLVANIAN FUNERAL and GOATCRAFT on the label's Bandcamp.com page.
Two vastly different, yet equally stellar examples of underground black metal, A TRANSYLVANIAN FUNERAL's Gorgos Goetia and GOATCRAFT's
All for Naught are both streaming in full ahead of their March 20th release date.
Visit forbiddenrecords.bandcamp.com to check out both albums and more from the Forbidden Records catalog. Digital versions of these releases will also be available from iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Rhapsody, etc. and other online retailers worldwide.
Download the free FORBIDDEN RECORDS digital compilation here:
|
A step in a new direction for A TRANSYLVANIAN FUNERAL, Gorgos Goetia is a staggering 72 minutes of raw and unbridled black metal magick, with no drum machines, no keyboards and minimal production values to retain the creative and improvisational style of the album. Gone are the meticulously crafted layers of guitar harmonies, replaced with primitive barre chords and haunting arpeggios. Blasting robot drum machines are cast aside as Sleepwalker's abuse of live drum dynamics dominate the recordings. The attitude is unflinching, the music unforgiving and the energy undeniably present like never before onGorgos Goetia. Sleepwalker continues to work alone as A TRANSYLVANIAN FUNERAL, handling all the writing, recording and production of the album exclusively.
"It's filthy black shit and you'll love it." - GunShyAssassin.com
"Pure raw underground sounds from the darkest corner of hell." - Artemortifica |
GOATCRAFT forged the genre of necroclassical, or dark neoclassical soundtracks that create an atmosphere of ageless beauty and melancholy violence. With All for Naught,GOATCRAFT expands into lush soundscapes that explore the themes of dark and occult music without becoming repetitive. Comprised of equal parts dark ambient, horror movie soundtrack and death metal-inspired violent piano All For Naught is music for a new millennium. Elegant melodies rise from aggressive hammering piano, and then descend into moods of bleakness and conflict. If dark ambient could be aggressive, it would want to beGOATCRAFT.
Stream All for Naught at forbiddenrecords.bandcamp.com/  "Fascinating and somewhat addictive." - Ave Noctum "By stripping dark ambient back down to its most primal element - the fingering of ivory and ebony - and doing so with high levels of skill, melancholy, and frustration, Goatcraft's All For Naught will inspire others to rely less on electronic effects and more on a deeper unearthing of arrangements that have stirred souls for hundreds - perhaps thousands - of years." - Worm Gear Zine www.facebook.com/goatcraft.tex |

Praise for BLASHPERIAN
"Highly recommended for all the fans of the old school filth." - Foul Feast of Flesh
"If there were some means by which you could round up all the death metal artists across the world, grasp them all in your fist and squeeze them down to their most primal, base instincts, then you'd open your fist upon Texans Blaspherian, who have wrought some of the purest shit imaginable. They stay straight on course, through curving, hellish crimson cumuli of pain and suffering." - From the Dust Returned

The Blessed Sleep from Milwaukee Progressive Death Metallers ARA
Out Now and Streaming
In a time when current death metal acts can be broken down into two common styles, which both share a need for innovation and identity, Milwaukee prog/tech Death Metal Unit ARA presents The Blessed Sleep to give the genre the shot of artistic savagery it needs. Rather than littering their compositions with flurries of notes that champion an alienating complexity over songwriting craft and still not falling victim to the tongue-in-cheek homage riffing that makes up the old school revival, ARA delivers five songs that bear no compromise to the current sounds that pass for extreme and instead carves an identity for itself where few debut releases dare to tread.
Comprised of members of progressive instrumental band Concentric and sludge band Northless, ARA weaves layers of melody into its songs without sacrificing the brutality of each one, and balances tunefulness and discordance with ease. Dynamically versatile and still youthfully rabid, ARA successfully merges a technical approach with catchy arrangements to present a record that both initially devastates the listener and still lingers in the head long after it's over, a technique lost among many who attempt the style currently. In a mere 21 minutes, ARA makes clear they are hungry to approach the mantle of death metal's elite, and with The Blessed Sleep, the band is well on its way.
Stream The Blessed Sleep in its entirety at www.arawi.bandcamp.com.

ARA is a 4 piece progressive/technical death metal band, featuring members of the bands Northless and Concentric. ARA began in early 2012 as a culmination of the desires of one Jerry Hauppa and Erik Stenglein to play in a death metal project that borrowed from their influences, without being mere carbon copies. Both Jerry and Erik have/had played in multiple Milwaukee area bands throughout the last 12 years, enjoying performing and creating various styles of music, but they had never realized their goal of creating stark, dissonant, yet strangely melodic brutality until deciding to try and play some death metal riffs together one day in their practice space. This jam led to full songs and of course, the inception of ARA. Soon after, Jerry recruited longtime musical collaborator James Becker (Concentric, ex-Forever Is Forgotten) and Adam Bujny (ex-Gaspar Minga) on bass and vocals, respectively, and they filled out the sound in a way that led to the formation of material found on The Blessed Sleep, which the band released to the masses in early 2013.

Chicago's EARTHEN GRAVE is thrilled to announce their recent signing to Heavy Rock Leader, Ripple Music for worldwide release of their debut album, Earthen Grave.
The album will be available on CD and double vinyl on July 9th via Ripple Music.
Formed in 2008, EARTHEN GRAVE is a five-piece Chicago metal band that marries the sounds of metal past and future with a sweaty, pummeling live show. EARTHEN GRAVE boasts an undeniable collective metal and musical pedigree. Each member is an accomplished musician and a veteran of the metal scene, including Ron Holzner who was a member of the seminal and seismic doom pioneers TROUBLE - a band widely regarded as one of the most important unsung American metal bands of all time. In addition, EARTHEN GRAVE has that "extra something special" with occasional guest 6th member live and boasting a Full collaboration on the new release with Rachel Barton Pine. Rachel, a world-renowned classical violinist brings her frightening classical chops to a relatively new instrument, the Viper.
Originally released in 2012, EARTHEN GRAVE's self-titled debut features 10 tracks of blistering Doom and Metal that left the critics grasping for superlatives. Terrorizer Magazine hailed "...Earthen Grave sounds old school without being retro, managing to go through every element on which lesser bands usually fail with exquisite grace and solemn subtlety..."
Now to be reissued through Ripple Music, the new edition of the album, produced by Ron Holzner, has been completely remastered with four bonus tracks including the new song, "Death is Another Word...." with new drummer Chris Wozniak (LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR) and the epic live Stargazer (Rainbow) with string section and virtuoso violinist Rachel Barton Pine.
And now the album will finally see a vinyl release! Double gatefold vinyl to be precise, featuring the 10 song remastered debut with the new song "Death is Another Word...." plus three bonus live tracks. One of the live tracks, "Death March Intro - End of my Daze," features TROUBLE guitarist Bruce Franklin. That's a whole new side of vinyl featuring the epic live Stargazer (Rainbow), plus three more live, never-before-released tracks.
EARTHEN GRAVE is dedicated to exploring new possibilities for the genre. As guitarist Jason Muxlow says, "It's not about being the heaviest band or the slowest - it's about having good songs. " second guitarist Tony Spillman and I played doom metal before it was even called that," Ron continues. "And for Jason, the music we pioneered was his influence. We're bringing the strands of the music together - and with the addition of Rachel using the violin as a core component of a metal band, and featuring multi-talented vocalist Mark Weiner we're taking the genre on a new journey."

NADER SADEK Live CD/DVD Living Flesh Now Streaming In Full
Living Flesh, the live audio/visual experience masterminded by famed artist and visual effects director, NADER SADEK, is now streaming in full.
Self-released last week to an outstanding reaction from fans across the globe, Living Fleshcan now be seen and heard online in its entirety. To stream the audio portion of Living Flesh, visit www.nadersadek.com/shop. The DVD is now playing, for a limited time only, at this location. Recorded at Santos Party House in Manhattan during the band's first live performance of the 2011 release, In The Flesh, Living Flesh is available as a signed CD/DVD, CD/Blu-ray (limited to 20 copies), LP/Blu-ray combo, limited edition LP (500 copies), LP with digital video download and as a digital download. Next month will see NADER SADEK issue a unique piece relating to the release. Details coming soon. Visit www.nadersadek.com/shop to order.
Living Flesh also brings you photos of that evening, demonstrating why NADER SADEKhas been a favorite set-designer for the likes of SUNN O))) and MAYHEM. Nodding to the petroleum theme, the Egyptian artist brought the drums to the front of the stage as a metaphorical engine driving the music, while the disembodied voices of the singers emerge from the rear of the stage, behind the guitars and bass. Sadek himself takes the stage to baptize small, gut-like objects in a black tar-like liquid and throw them into the crowd.
The songs themselves differ from the original studio album arrangements. Not only are they played at a much higher speed, but have been extended to allow the audience to sink into and absorb the relentless riffs. Carmen Simoes' operatic voice enhances the melodies and darkens the atmosphere. The live show also features one track that does not appear on the studio album: Flo Mounier's extraordinary drum solo that shifts from brutal mechanical noise to rhythmic musical patterns, paralleling the overlap of man and machine charted by Sadek's petroleum-based project. Living Flesh will also be released in a single, unique vinyl edition. Consisting of a very special packaging and extra content, this piece is limited to one exclusive copy worldwide. Details to be announced.
 "While the darkness and extremity of this record is very in your face, the subtleties like the use of female vocals and ambience only highlight the heavy parts making them that more devastating. Living Flesh is a compelling document of how great individuals can produce an even grander beast." - Ghost Cult Mag Get in touch at ClawhammerPR@gmail.com for interview requests and coverage plans. |

Gun Shy Assassin Premiers New ENSHADOWED Track
GunShyAssassin.com has posted an exclusive world premier of the song "Surrealistic Shade of Color Black" from Magic Chaos Psychedelia, the long-awaited new album from Greek black metal dissenters ENSHADOWED.
The first full-length release from the band in nearly a decade, Magic Chaos Psychedelia is an intense offering of experimental, modern black metal that pays unholy homage to the genre's masters. Listen to "Surrealistic Shade of Color Black" at this location.
Magic Chaos Psychedelia will be unleashed upon North America on February 19, 2013 via Pulverized Records (January 28th in Europe).
Meticulously
recorded, mixed and mastered at Devasoundz Studio by Septicflesh
skinsman Fotis Bernado and ENSHADOWED, together with the album cover
artwork weaved by Greek artist Rea Pediaditaki, including additional
hand-made paintings by Miguel Angel Castro Salinas. The amalgamation of
Magic and Chaos are now together as One, even more foreboding than ever
imagined. Ceremoniously apocalyptic encompassing its aura, Magic Chaos Psychedelia is an abyss of religious anti-establishment with total hateful and nihilistic intent.
 "If Dracula fronted a band, I imagine it'd sound like this. Which is to say, it's fucking rad. " - GunShyAssassin.com
"Magic Chaos Psychedelia is a very good example of modern black metal with blurred boundaries among the other genres." - MetalPaths.com

EYE OF SOLITUDE And Kaotoxin Records Release Digital EP For Charity
UK-based emotive doom/death metal band EYE OF SOLITUDE and their label Kaotoxin Records have just released The Deceit, a digital EP which is being sold to help raise funds for a Romanian organization for the blind.
A two-song version of The Deceit, which includes a remastered version of "Painstained" from the band's now out-of-print debut The Ghost
and a title track featuring guest vocals from Arno Strobl [ex-CARNIVAL
IN COAL, 6:33, WE ALL DIE (LAUGHING)!] and Déhà [IMBER LUMINUS, MERDA
MUNDI, WE ALL DIE (LAUGHING)!], is available through all major digital
music retailers.
Orders being placed through Kaotoxin Records will receive a
three-song version of the EP that comes with an instrumental cover of
SHAPE OF DESPAIR's "Night's Dew." This bonus track is available
exclusively at http://listen.kaotoxin.com.
A trailer for The Deceit has been posted at this location.  "The Deceit is well worth the money. It's a powerful and emotionally potent offering of melodic doom/death metal that's going to get a lot of plays from me. The fact that the money goes to help a worthy cause is a bonus." - No Clean Singing |
The Deceit Overview
After their successful and critically-acclaimed 2012 second full-length Sui Caedere
and while working on the next album, Eye Of Solitude started working on
a very special project, a benefit digital EP, aimed to help the
Romanian center for the blind and sight-impaired, an obvious choice
given Daniel Neagoe, Eye Of Solitude's main man is hailing from there
and Nico, label manager, is suffering from a vision loss disease called
retinitis pigmentosa, but the band didn't want it to be just a bunch of
tracks, they wanted it to be very special, a reward and gift for the
fans willing to help the cause they chose to help, something showing
they really care about it and about their loyal following, thus they got
in touch with Arno Strobl, the ex-half of renewed Carnival In Coal, now
a solo artist singing for 6:33, We All Die (Laughing)! and more and
Déhà, the dark soul behind projects among which the likes of Imber
Luminis, Merda Mundi, We All Die (Laughing)! And more to create a very
special song, The Deceit, featuring three vocalists, Arno
Strobl adding his talented clean and sad vocal touch while Déhà adding
the Depressive Black Metal one, alongside Daniel's cadaverous,
dehumanized and despaired growling for a stunningly dark and hopeless
result, adding yet an other level of darkness to the utterly oppressive
Eye
Of Solitude trademark atmosphere.
A second, instrumental, song, a cover version of Shape Of Despair's "Night's Dew" was also recorded during these sessions, it's gonna be featured on the label exclusive version of the EP and will be offered for free download too while a remastered version of "Painstained", a song from the band's 2011's now sold out debut full-length, The Ghost, completes both versions of the EP.

Nader Sadek "MAYHEM" Art Exhibit Opens Today In Philadelphia
Famed
artist and visual effects director and driving force behind the
all-star death metal project that bears his name, NADER SADEK is being
featured as part of a group exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary
Art in Philadelphia. The
exhibit, which runs from February 6th until July 28th, 2013, will
feature masks worn by Attila Cshiar during his performances with Sunn
O))) and Mayhem. The masks where designed and fabricated by Nader Sadek
in his NYC studio in 2007. Mayhem then commissioned Sadek to make
their stage set for their US shows in 2009, for which he sculpted a
flesh and bone style version of the band's original logo. The work is
being exhibited among other works, including works by Genesis P-orridge
of Throbbing Gristle among others.
For details on the exhibit, visit www.icaphila.org/exhibitions/ 
On February 27th, NADER SADEK will self-release the live CD/DVD Living Flesh, which captured the first ever live performance of the 2011 release In The Flesh. Details on the release can be found below or by visiting www.nadersadek.com.
GunShyAssassin.com recently premiered the song "Petrophilia" from Living Flesh. The track is currently streaming at this location. Capturing the inimitable stage presence of a unique collaboration of death metal and black metal giants, Living Flesh offers the heavy, haunting soundtrack of a society ever more soaked in the reanimated, decomposed bio-matter we know as petroleum. The November 20, 2011 show featured the original line-up of musicians from the In the Flesh record, as well as two new performers. The original line-up consisted of Flo Mounier (CRYPTOPSY); Rune Eriksen (AURA NOIR, AVA INFERI, ex-MAYHEM); Novy (ex-BEHEMOTH and ex-VADER); and Steve Tucker (ex-MORBID ANGEL in his first and last live appearance for this project. Those greats are joined by Sean Frey as guest live guitarist and Carmen Simoes on backing vocals.
Living Flesh also brings you photos of that evening, demonstrating why NADER SADEK
has been a favorite set-designer for the likes of SUNN O))) and MAYHEM.
Nodding to the petroleum theme, the Egyptian artist brought the drums
to the front of the stage as a metaphorical engine driving the music,

ABACINATE Returns With A Vengeance
Jersey death metal devils ABACINATE have burst back onto the scene after a year-long hiatus following the tragic death of singer Jason "Plunger" Sica. After securing the services of new vocalist Ruben Ratliff, of Jersey death/slam band NJDOTS, Abacinate closed out 2012 with a string of shows in New Jersey and Boston with the likes of Dehumanized, Dying Fetus, Dysentery, Malignancy, Without Remorse, and Cognitive. With the band firing on all cylinders again and new material for the follow-up to 2011's Genesis in the works, ABACINATE is pleased to announce their addition to the 2013 Philthadelphia Infest on March 16th and 17th. The fest will take place at Gunners Run - 1001 North 2nd Street, Philidelpdia, PA. Appearing alongside ABACINATE will be MASTER, DEVOURMENT, CANNIBIS CORPSE, BRUTAL TRUTH, PHOBIA and many more. For details, visit the PHILTHADELPHIA INFEST Event Page. ABACINATE is scheduled to perform on Sunday, March 17th. Stay tuned for ABACINATE updates and news, as 2013 promises to be a huge year for the band. www.facebook.com/abacinate.
Faced with the
same adversity and mediocrity that serve as antagonists in every metal
kid's personalized tale of scrounging for success in an over-saturated
scene, Abacinate is one band you won't catch high-fiving one another at
the bottom rung of the ladder. From the band's formation in early
2005, Abacinate has always strived to be more than just a big fish in
their small, central Jersey pond.
While the last six years have been filled with an abundance of broken bodies, shattered bottles and moments of heinous debauchery, they have also seen Abacinate evolve from just another garage band to an impact player on today's underground scene. Refusing to stand still or spin their wheels, Abacinate's growth process can be easily traced from their early demos and split releases to the release of their full-length debut, Ruination; an album that Blabbermouth.net states "packs a lot of punch and keeps things interesting." It seems that the critics weren't the only ones to take a liking to Abacinate's seamless blend of brutality, melodic death, thrash and unadulterated heaviness, as they've shares stages with acts raging from the legendary Testament and Napalm Death to new-school warriors such as Job For A Cowboy, Suicide Silence and Necrophagist (just to name a few). The summer of 2010 saw Abacinate strike out on a DIY tour with fellow Jersey-natives Fit For An Autopsy, which earned both bands new fans across the country and served as one more notch in the proverbial bedpost. Before hitting the road, Abacinate entered The Machine Shop with producer Will Putney to record their anticipated second full-length, Genesis. A sonic slab of concrete and razor wire, Genesis offers as much chaotic brutality as it does schooled and focused songwriting. In short, this album offers the metal community a much needed kick to the cubes. In September of 2010, Abacinate suffered the tragic loss of frontman Jason "Plunger" Sica. Once again, the band's stop-at-nothing attitude prevailed and Genesis, and everything the band accomplishes after, will not only serve as a tribute to the singer's life and memory, but as a testament to the strength and determination he shared with his bandmates. This is Abacinate. This is fucking metal. Dan Higgins - Guitar

Rock
n' Roll history is rife with brothers working together to create their
artistic vision. But rarely do we hear about a full-fledged family unit
embarking down the treacherous path of a musical career. In the case of
Texas based Mothership, the Brother Juett (Kyle on bass, younger brother
Kelley on guitar) enlisted the aid of their father, John Juett, to help
get the 'ship off the ground. Raised on a healthy dose of their
father's 70's-era record collection, the brothers began crafting songs
fueled on the raucous and raw good time vibe when music seemed to know
no bounds. Lifting off the pad for the first time in 2010, the band
began to gain momentum and notoriety with their unabashed live shows.
Knowing that the service of the family patriarch was temporary, Father
Juett actively helped his boys find his replacement, and in late 2011,
enter the mighty Judge Smith to hammer away on the skins. In early 2012,
Mothership entered Crystal Clear Studios with Wo Fat mastermind Kent
Stump manning the boards and by mid-year, the band self-released their
debut album. It was the combination of the 70's-era heavy rock fuzz and
fury mixed with the blistering guitar solos of the NWOBHM-era that drew
the bands attention to California-based Heavy Rock label, Ripple Music.
In the waning months of 2012, after a successful year of traveling
regionally throughout Texas and opening for national acts such as Prong,
Red Fang, Gypsyhawk, Earthen Grave, and Lo-Pan, Mothership officially
dubbed Ripple Music as its Home Port and began plotting a course for
their first U.S. Tour in early 2013.
