NIGRUM stream new IRON BONEHEAD album at Death Madness - @thebeast

Today, Mexican black/death expats Nigrum  stream the entirety of their highly anticipated second album, Blood Worship Extremism, at the Death Madness YouTube channel . Set for international release on November 22nd via Iron Bonehead Productions, hear Nigrum's Blood Worship Extremism in its entirety exclusively HERE .

In 2015, Nigrum was born from fire, from snake-infested tunnels and ravenous worship of death - there, where ancient stones are inspirited by bone-breaking and incessant ecstatic dances. From the mists of the central Mexican highlands and the pyramid temples of Quetzalcoatl that lie there came a turbid and sinuous path that took shape in the form of black metal.

After the first years of this journey, marked by hard strife constant changes, the cutting obsidian breeze of the Serpent brought Nigrum to Scandinavian shores. After laying the past to rest, Nigrum established themselves in the south of Sweden. They began with the recording of a three-track demo named Cremer Igne in 2020, which was released later that year. As that year was turning to an end, the band had its first live appearances in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany in its shifted shape after years of silence. The spiritual and creative processes that guided Nigrum culminated in, and were crowned by, the recording of their debut album. Titled Elevenfold Tail, this momentous birth truly announced the band's arrival.

Still, deeper and darker energies lurked within, and so it comes to pass that Nigrum now unveil Blood Worship Extremism. Aptly titled, Blood Worship Extremism takes nearly every element of its full-length predecessor and intensifies 'em to an uncomfortable degree. Nigrum's attack is still clear and cutting in its cunning, but those hideous energies that always threaten to bubble over into hysteria are given free(r) reign across LP#2. On the surface, Blood Worship Extremism almost seems regressive by comparison. For one, the recording is rougher and rawer, exuding an authentically vintage sound circa 1998 demo tapes; lurk longer, and one will find that this soundfield ably benefits the band's skills, as each instrument (the bass GUITAR, in particular) dazzles with devilish flourish. The songwriting, in kind, goes directly for the throat - immediately, unflinchingly - and at times overwhelms with its lack of decorum; lurk longer still, and that one will witness wholly organic atmospheric touches that waft upwards / downwards from Nigrum's cauldron without sacrificing any of that searing intensity. Even with all that intensity, cobwebbed melody continues to play a crucial part on their compass, which points to both North and South: no trendiness in either direction.

Elevenfold Tail may've surprised with its strike of the ritual dagger, but now Nigrum arrive unadorned and equally unannounced, that dagger already placed decisively in your hand. Here, Blood Worship Extremism begins...

In the leadup to its international release this Friday, hear  Blood Worship Extremism in its entirety exclusively HERE , courtesy of the Death Madness YouTube channel.

New Promo: Crymwav Unleashes New Single Contagious – A Dark, Danceable Anthem Ahead of Their Upcoming LP - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Crymwav Unleashes New Single Contagious – A Dark, Danceable Anthem Ahead of Their Upcoming LP

Get ready to experience the electrifying sound of Crymwav as the Los Angeles-based rock quartet drops their highly anticipated new single, Contagious. The track is the first taste of their upcoming full-length LP Chop Chop, set to be released in March 2025. Known for their blend of hard rock, punk, and post-punk influences, Contagious is a captivating fusion of dark energy and infectious hooks that will have you hooked from the first note.

Contagious is a dark yet danceable anthem that blends the band’s signature sound with an irresistible groove. The track is filled with power, intensity, and memorable melodies, showcasing the band's ability to craft songs that are as infectious as they are powerful. With this single, Crymwav takes their sonic evolution to new heights, offering a tantalizing preview of what’s to come on their upcoming LP.

Formed in 2022 from the ashes of the beloved Los Angeles rock band Smash Fashion, Crymwav brings together a powerhouse lineup of musicians with diverse backgrounds. The band is fronted by guitarist and songwriter Roger Deering (Smash Fashion), alongside Lloyd Stuart Casson (lead guitar, backing vocals), Greg Rogers (Goatsnake, ex-Obsessed; drums), and Bruce Braddock (bass guitar).

The band’s sound draws influence from a wide array of genres, blending the gritty energy of punk and post-punk with the hard-hitting edge of hard rock. Crymwav’s unique style echoes the sounds of classic rock bands like UFO, Thin Lizzy, and Sisters of Mercy, while infusing it with the intensity of bands like Hawkwind, The Clash, and Killing Joke. Their music captures the raw energy of their 80s American hardcore roots while incorporating the darker, more urgent elements of their musical inspirations.

Roger Deering reflects, “Crymwav started to come together for me while I was staying in London about three years ago. Smash Fashion was at a standstill, and I was writing darker, heavier material. It was clear this was a different muse, and I wanted to channel the energy of bands like Hawkwind and Motörhead. When I came back to LA, everything clicked, and the band came to life.”

In November 2023, Crymwav released their self-recorded 6-song EP 24/7, which garnered rave reviews, including a feature in Guitar World Magazine and substantial airplay worldwide. With the release of Contagious, Crymwav continues to push their sound forward, delivering a fresh take on rock and roll that blends classic influences with their own distinctive flair.

Crymwav Lineup

    Roger Deering – Lead vocals, rhythm guitar
    Lloyd Stuart Casson – Lead guitar, backing vocals
    Greg Rogers – Drums
    Bruce Braddock – Bass guitar
