- Projet Cross-Arts de Kimmo Kuusniemi, ANCIENT STREAMING ASSEMBLY, premier single « Perpetuae Memoriae », feat. Tuomas Rounakari + Steve Di Giorgio Ce formidable projet inter-artistique, conceptualisé par Kuusniemi et renforcé par les prouesses musicales de son seul collaborateur permanent, le violoniste et ethnomusicologue de renommée internationale Tuomas Rounakari, dresse un sombre tableau de notre monde au bord de l'effondrement environnemental. Les activités environnementales passées de Kuusniemi depuis les années 80, des documentaires percutants au projet à résonance mondiale « Dream On » pour le Fonds mondial pour la nature, convergent dans ASA avec un avantage plus net. Associés à l'immersion de Rounakari dans les traditions anciennes, ils créent un rappel effrayant de l'état fragile de notre environnement, exhortant la société à puiser dans la sagesse ancestrale comme bouée de sauvetage. L’offre initiale d’ASA est la chanson étrangement captivante « Perpetuae Memoriae », sur fond dystopique. Cette composition démontre non seulement l'éclat collectif des talents combinés de Kuusniemi et Rounakari, mais met également en lumière Steve Di Giorgio, le bassiste fretless emblématique du vénéré mastodonte du metal Testament. "Perpetuae Memoriae" résume le paysage sombre dans lequel nous naviguons. ASA est un signal d'alarme urgent, un cri de clairon, exhortant l'humanité à résonner avec les harmonies de la sagesse ancestrale avant de dépasser le point de non-retour", partage Kuusniemi. Le « Perpetuae Memoriae » sert de précurseur au prochain documentaire sur la musique environnementale d'ASA, faisant allusion à la profondeur et à la passion que l'équipe canalise dans son projet plus vaste. Cependant, l'engagement d'ASA va au-delà de la simple sensibilisation. Pour combler le fossé entre la réalisation et l'action, ASA met en évidence les emblèmes d'organisations caritatives environnementales notables à la fin de leur vidéo. Ce geste est conçu pour orienter les spectateurs vers des canaux de changement significatifs, transformant la prise de conscience en action tangible. Ancient Streaming Assembly invite les artistes, les environnementalistes et le public mondial à se confronter à cette dure réalité, en cherchant réconfort et conseils dans les échos de nos anciens prédécesseurs.

Les chansons de cet album sont formées par des ancêtres Khanty, Mansi, Carélien et finlandais. Ils portent en résonance ceux qui, avant nous, étaient mieux équipés pour collaborer avec la nature de manière durable et autosuffisante. Ces chansons ont toujours été les meilleurs professeurs de Tuomas. "C'est une musique que les dieux écoutent", a déclaré Pekko Käppi après avoir écouté les morceaux masterisés fraîchement terminés.

ANIIMALIA - UK alternative act release single "Puppeteer" off their upcoming EP ((Soumission radio) ANIIMALIA - Un groupe alternatif britannique sort le single "Puppeteer" de son prochain EP) ANIIMALIA a parcouru un long chemin rapidement - a signé avec Marshall après avoir remporté le Kerrang ! Lors du concours Deal, le label a continué à travailler avec eux après leur premier EP qui a largement dépassé les attentes. Le groupe alternatif britannique sort des chansons évocatrices et sort un nouvel EP le 4 avril - découvrez le premier single "Puppeteer" ! Artiste : ANIIMALIA Piste : Marionnettiste Album : Carousel EP (sortie le 4 avril 2024) Compositeur(s) : Kira Beckett, Kieran Boobyer, Max Reynolds, Ben Gasan Éditeur(s) : Marshall Records Publishing, Ltd.
ANIIMALIA Puppeteer Marshall Records 1 March 2024 South-west UK based alternative outfit ANIIMALIA today announced their new EP ‘CAROUSEL’, set for release on 4TH APRIL 2024 via Marshall Records, and sees the band teaming up once again with renowned producer-engineer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Funeral For A Friend, Nova Twins, Twin Atlantic). The announcement is accompanied by the release of their latest single, ‘PUPPETEER’. "Puppeteer stands tall as an anthem, resonating with those who have endured the weight of being pushed to their limits," declares the frontwoman, Kira Beckett. The vocalist candidly unravels the darker threads of the human psyche, spotlighting the haunting thoughts that can accompany prolonged mistreatment. “It explores untethered anger after being walked over for too long, and the dark thoughts that can come with that…” The band sought to craft a dense tapestry of vivid imagery, offering a stark portrayal of the chaos wrought by pent-up anger. ‘Puppeteer’ becomes a chilling reminder that when individuals find themselves pushed beyond their breaking points, they are susceptible to losing grip on reality and spiralling until they snap. At its core, the new single encapsulates the essence of ‘Carousel’. The track serves as a pivotal juncture in the musical journey, capturing the raw emotions and unfiltered vulnerability that define the overarching theme of the entire collection with unapologetic intensity. MORE ON ANIIMALIA Forming in 2020, ANIIMALIA has released a fist full of solid singles (check out the intense Silver Linings taken from their debut EP ‘Pressure Points’), performed with the likes of Area 11, Kris Barras Band, and Virginmarys, delivering chaotic riffs, animated performances, and energetic atmosphere for their audiences across the UK. The band also struck gold, winning Kerrang! Radio’s ‘The Deal’ competition in 2022, securing the band a record deal with Marshall Records. If you have any questions, contact samir@kinda.agency.

VIRCOLAC to Return with Veneration
As the sun stands still in the sky, in the depths of winter, at the darkest time of year, Ireland's VIRCOLAC is pleased to announce the international release of their second full-length album Veneration on Dark Descent Records (US) and Sepulchral Voice Records (Europe). The album comes out on Friday, February 23rd, and will be available on black vinyl (only) Gatefold LP and CD Digipak. Pre-order Veneration at: darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com darkdescentrecords.com/shop Veneration tracklist 1) The Lament (I Am Calling You) 2) Veneration 3) Unrepentant 4) Our Burden of Stone on Bone 5) All Comes to Pass, Nothing Shall Remain 6) Reflection 7) She is Calling Me (I. War II. Death III. Redemption) Veneration was recorded during the 10th year of the band's existence with Shaun Cadogan at Last Light Recordings in April 2023. In the aftermath of their debut album, Masque, VIRCOLAC met a world of fear-induced mania resulting in their retreat from the glaring light of day and into their respective lairs where the band set about working towards what would become Veneration. An intense labour of songwriting emerged during the winters of discontent coupled with the ebb and flow of musicians from the band resulting in a triumph over tragedy for the three core members that now form the nucleus of VIRCOLAC. The album title comes from many epic wanderings through an ancient landscape in solitude, seeing stone monuments from a long forgotten past that were erected to venerate the dead and so, as a nation where veneration is an essential part of the daily life of its people, and the past very much a place where the dead join the living, the question was prompted; who will venerate us? What have we done to warrant any veneration? Thematically, the lyrics reflect on the many deathly topics infused in our ancient cultural lore. From the bloodshed that has fed the land for generations, to the gods and goddesses still invoked to this day and the fallen martyrs whose idealism never came to pass. And so, as in life, all comes to pass and as we fade, nothing shall remain.* Stylistically, Veneration is unquestionably a Death Metal album from beginning to end. Fusing expansive influences from outside the genre to bring a sense of melancholy, despair, triumph, anger, and agony. Veneration is a soaring and plunging experience of emotional tumult.

It's weird and rough-edged, and I'm all for it." - Invisible Oranges "Oxblood Forge are really bringing the ferocity to their thrashy heavy doom, and it is incredibly refreshing." - The Killchain "These four songs kick it, making the EP a good get. Recommended." - Flying Fiddlesticks "The band plays with several nuances of heavy, doom and thrash metal, which is why it is interesting in itself, in addition to having taken that step forward that we expected from the previous album." - Metallerium "It’s the culmination of seven years of experience in genre blending cryptic writings, the search for big riffs and scathing lyrics never far from their minds." - Metal Noise Cult of Oblivion builds on the metal path forged by the band's previous release Decimator, and brings forth a darker and heavier sound than their previous releases. Tracklist: 1) Cult of Oblivion 2) Upon the Altar 3) Cleanse With Fire 4) Mask Of Satan [Video] Cult of Oblivion was engineered and mixed by James Gazerro at The Red Room in Attleboro, MA. Mastering by Brad Boatright of AudioSiege. Hailing from the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts, Oxblood Forge brings a penchant for roundhouse kicking the listener in the face with their own special sauce of heavy metal with a generous helping of classic rock, doom, and blues. The band aims for big hooks, destructive vocals, and heavy guitars. Oxblood Forge recently completed a successful east coast tour with Spiral Grave and Mourn the Light, playing shows recently with Anvil, Manilla Road, and Magic Circle, and keeping the flame alive for heavy metal.

IOTUNN Découvrez le clip animé de “Mistland” ! Alors qu’il travaille actuellement sur son second album, le groupe de metal progressif IOTUNN sort un clip animé pour l’inédit “Mistland”. Enregistré en Février 2023 au Fascination Street Studios et mixé puis masterisé par Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, Paradise Lost, Kreator, Enslaved), ce titre est une façon pour le quintet dano-féroïen de faire patienter ses fans en attendant le successeur de Access All Worlds (2021 - Metal Blade Records). Le clip, tout comme l’artwork de “Mistland”, a été réalisé par l’artiste Costin Chioreanu (Ghost, Borknagar, Opeth, etc.). https://youtu.be/0aG4SSPAVNo ““Mistland” évoque le fait de se risquer à s’affranchir des anciennes coutumes pour embrasser de nouvelles idées et le “progrès”, pour le meilleur comme pour le pire. C’est quelque chose qui se retrouve dans le concept et la trame générale de notre prochain album. Il racontera l’histoire d'anciens peuples qui prennent conscience d'un rituel qui peut les libérer de leur forme terrestre et leur permettre de rechercher de nouveaux horizons astraux et spirituels." (Jón Aldará, Chant). ”Mistland est certainement le titre de IOTUNN qui me tient le plus à cœur personnellement. J'avais cette idée en tête depuis des années et elle prend enfin vie à travers “Mistland”. Une fois que Jean Nicolaï et moi avons réussi à poser les bases de cette composition, nous avons tous travaillé de longue heure sur celle-ci. L'ensemble du groupe y a contribué et cela a donné naissance à un élan créatif et une liberté d'inspiration incroyables. Quand j’écoute les sonorités de ce titre, je ressens une mélancolie que je considère comme inhérente aux expériences et aux sentiments que nous éprouvons au long de la vie. C'est une mélancolie qui, d’une certaine manière, offre des perspectives toujours plus profondes et plus étendues, quel que soit l'état d'esprit dans lequel on se trouve. Une véritable communion qui peut vous libérer ou vous entraîner dans quelque chose où vous vous perdez". (Jesper Gräs, Guitare) “Chacune de nos chansons a sa propre personnalité ; ceux sont comme des individus isolés qui se rassemblent en une seule tribu musicale que constitue IOTUNN. Et cette tribu est désormais rejointe par un nouveau membre qui apporte sa contribution à des thèmes musicaux et existentiels que je considère comme importants. Les paroles et la musique de “Mistland” me parlent à plusieurs niveaux. Lorsque je l’écoute, j’ai l’impression d’être soudainement entouré de brume et d’ombres tout en étant guidé par une source de lumière constante.” (Jean Nicolai Gräs, Guitare et synthétiseurs) “Mistland dégage une impression de grandeur et de liberté. Lorsque j’ai entendu pour la première fois les arrangements de guitare, j’ai immédiatement imaginé une batterie tout en contraste avec des sections très denses, d’autres aériennes et surtout des dynamiques différentes selon les parties. Le tout en gardant un sentiment d’énergie majestueuse. J'aime beaucoup le résultat obtenu et j'ai hâte qu’il sorte !" (Bjørn Wind Andersen, Batterie) "Mistland a semblé sortir de nulle part. Sa simplicité apparente est trompeuse et il est très facile de se perdre dans sa multitude de dimensions sonores. Je pense que cette chanson a été le défi le plus difficile à relever pour IOTUNN à ce jour. Ma contribution principale a été de lui apporter une touche encore plus cinématique, synthétique et atmosphérique. Ces derniers mois, “Mistland” a aussi été un moment particulier, presque magique, lors de nos concerts. La réaction du public a été incroyable à chaque fois. J’ai vraiment hâte de la jouer sur des scènes bien plus grandes à l’occasion des festivals d’été !” (Eskil Rask, basse)

Broken Side "In Defeat" the hard rock tale of Moby Dick
BROKEN SIDE, founded in East Tennessee, bring their own version of hard rock to the table. The music is described as a mix of hard alt. rock with some metal elements, odd time signatures, melodic backing, and ground shaking tone. They pride themselves on their musical versatility, bass heavy sound, and leading melodies that capture the listener. With a variety musical influences brought in by each member, Broken Side has set themselves apart in the Knoxville music scene. ​ Opening for national music acts while putting on high energy, technical, and dynamic shows is what has drawn so many of the Broken Side fans to their music. About Our New SIngle "In Defeat" The idea for this song came from the true story that inspired Moby Dick. In 1820, The whaling ship Essex with a crew of 20 was attacked by a whale crew and was forced to abandon ship into three small boats which they sailed to an uninhabited island. Three of the 17 remaining crew members decided to stay on the island instead of returning to sea to attempt sailing to safety. Of the 14 sailors who left the island only two survived, after resorting to cannibalism. The three sailors who remained on the island were rescued about 1 year later. This song is about the decision to remain on the island, and accept the fate and desolation that they may not survive, rather than facing the dangers of sea again.
Edge Of Destiny releases Talking To A Ghost
Facebook Website Instagram YouTube EDGE OF DESTINY Magic happens when kindred spirits come together in a cross pollination of music styles. There is the familiar theme of the common and then the edge of difference that draws it all together to create what can only be known as Edge of Destiny.

ORELISK: "The Underworld Obscura" Out Now on Northern Spire Productions
ORELISK: The Underworld Obscura Out Now on Northern Spire Productions
True Northern Black Metal band ORELISK has officially unleashed its full-length debut, The Underworld Obscura. The album is available on CD, digital, and cassette formats through Northern Spire Productions. Order The Underworld Obscura at northernspire.bandcamp.com The Underworld Obscura track listing: 1. Winter In Salem 2. The War Of Despair 3. Only In Delirium I Can See 4. Derelict House Of Desires 5. Ruins As Subjective To The Ruined 6. The Underworld Obscura Orelisk was formed in 2018 as a solo black metal force by the ubiquitous “II”, most notably of Michigan-based black metal band LanzerRath. His debut demo Mold was an ode to the second-wave black metal hordes of the early 1990s such as Darkthrone, Enslaved, and Judas Iscariot. Mold featured a raw, warm production, with darkness permeating each melodic arrangement. Stories of doomed nomads, ancient beasts, and unhinged minds served as vessels for Mold’s bleak soundscapes. Two years later, Orelisk has returned with the debut full-length The Underworld Obscura. As the title would suggest, the album follows down the same dark pathways of the Mold demo, offering six new sonic tales of the damned. A blizzard of tremolos and blast beats are narrated by the piercing screams of death itself as the undercurrents of hidden forces are brought forth into reality. Old school production harkening back to the days of Greig Hall funnels this black metal maelstrom of dark nostalgia, ensuring The Underworld Obscura lives up to Orelisk’s moniker of “True Northern Black Metal”.

SLOUGH OF DESPAIR - “Catacombs of Terror” Label: Chaos Records / Personal Records Release date: digital / cassette (2020), CD (2021) CHAOS RECORDS, in conspiracy with PERSONAL RECORDS, is proud to present SLOUGH OF DESPAIR's striking debut album, Catacombs of Terror, on CD format. Hailing from Athens, Greece, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR was formed in 2018 after guitarist Panos Lampropoulos (MALEDICTION) split from ORDEAL and began to write the first demo with vocalist Babis Oikonomopoulos (OCEAN OF GRIEF) and Dimitris Sakkas (Dimons Studio) on drums and bass. Later on, Kostas Velnias (SERPENT’S ORDER) took over the vocals duties. With their lineup thus complete, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR recorded their debut album in January 2020. Aptly titled Catacombs of Terror, this seven-song/42-minute monolith is suffocating to behold. Devastatingly crushing whilst eerily atmospheric, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR uphold its moniker through an ominously lumbering, oft-ritualistic strain of doom-death. Its pound-and-plod is rendered in richly analog tones, robust in their clarity yet never losing any inherent rawness; more to the point, you feel this dark density deep within your soul. Then, ripping that soul asunder, SLOUGH OF DESPAIR mesmerize with malevolently melodic twists that take their time to develop but deliver a bountiful payoff. Patience thus rewards those willing to step fully into these Catacombs of Terror. Originally released digitally in April 2020 and then on a limited-edition cassette a few months after, Catacombs of Terror will, at last, see a CD release through a joint collaboration between Mexico's long-running CHAOS RECORDS and PERSONAL RECORDS, the new label imprint of MAJESTIC DOWNFALL mainman Jacobo Córdova. This is literally, titanic doom-death highly recommended for maniacs of Asphyx, Necros Christos, Winter, Cianide and Evoken. With the release of their debut the band fleshed out their line-up with second guitarist Giannis Tziligkakis, bassist Nick Crimstein and drummer Jim Sinanis, and recently the band welcomed John Georgiadis. Lyric video for “Humanity’s Crucifixion”: https://youtu.be/4f3_ZOu-tPo TRACKLIST: 1. Burial of Sanity (07:35) 2. Disease of Human Minds (07:25) 3. Humanity's Crucifixion (05:44) 4.

Cruciatus Infernalis just released a new single "Kriegerwahn"
When it comes to black/death metal, there are a few projects that can put a nice portion of Dungeon Synth in it like Cruciatus Infernalis. H.Daemonenwacht, the mastermind behind the project, has really outdone himself with the new single "Kriegerwahn". The song is an absolute tour-de-force of unrelenting heaviness and dark atmosphere, and H.Daemonenwacht's vocals are absolutely demonic and reflect the insanity of the warrior perfectly. If you're a fan of black/death metal or just extreme metal in general, then you need to check out this new single: https://open.spotify.com/album/5TFdZ8Ifcb5HprdgMEXaXo?si=GBrnd2xlSTiyv2wkFkXLiw For fans of Darkthrone, Ulver, early Satyricon Follow: https://kvltundkaosproductions.bandcamp.com/track/kriegerwahn-single https://www.kvltundkaosproductions.com/cruciatus-infernalis https://open.spotify.com/artist/2kRiylSV8hWZaWexvOhApS?si=36eX3dObQoeFnfnk696ROQhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z4MtgLVl3MvfJzYkMu3-K3ldysnObdG9?usp=share_link

Cyprian Hellenes, Harmonize, in disguise as Vikings in new cover single release
Wondering what Harmonize from Cyprus have been up to since the release of their debut album? The band has been exploring different sounds, gradually evolving into their unique genre of choice, with influences of melodic death, such as that of Swedish legends, Amon Amarth. Therefore, it is no surprise they chose to take their own approach to the pounding and dynamic 'Shield Wall'. A cover was released on 18th November. This slightly different approach to the song provides us with insight into the energy, hard work and solid performance on instruments and vocals the band aims to adopt as the main focus for their future work. This image is further reinforced by their decision to produce and release their own video of their version of the track, released on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MGPraUXvRpc The conceptual band, being invested in their very own story, are not afraid to take on works that inspire them musically and offer their own interpretation as long as it serves their identity and intrigues the listener.
