AvantGarde - My Power - Streaming at The Rawk Dawg Show on Firebrand Radio! Check it out here at this link: https://www.firebrandradio.online/
For fans of - Pantera, Soulfly, Machine Head, Kreator
The band was founded in 2008 in Zavitinsk , Russia . For a decade, the band has been making their own material, touring cities in the Russian far East, and performing at large and small festivals.
Sometimes the line-up changed, and for now AvantGarde band is:
Alexey "Sivlex" Sivokon - bass guitar
Vladimir "Lecter" Sereda – guitar
Dmitry "MrBudnich" Budnikov – vocals
Sergey "Skrxftt" Kravchenko – drums
Alexander "Sanchez" Ponomarev – backing vocals
After winning one of the biggest festivals (Cosmodrome 2018), The band received a prize in the form of an EP recording. After much work, in 2020 the band released EP "..are you still alive?" which contains the agony and madness of a world that has been going mad for centuries and has been covered by the pandemic.
However, the main idea of the album is that everyone chooses their own destiny. No one can help us but ourselves. No one can destroy us but ourselves. So who are you? A victim of the night streets, another piece in someone else's game, or a prisoner of chemical dreams? You checking every step, avoiding wolf pits and broken glass. You dance like a shadow on the asphalt of the stone jungle. Without asking for compassion or advice, you choose your path under the stars of neon lights - too free to be silent, too smart to speak, too strong to give up. The world around you is spun like meat grinder, somebody dead somebody have gone mad. You hear their whispers, you know the question that haunts them: why... are you still alive?

Ambassadors Of The Sun - FROM THE SHADOWS - Streaming At The Rawk Dawg Show on Firebrand Radio! - @thebeast
Ambassadors Of The Sun - FROM THE SHADOWS - Streaming At The Rawk Dawg Show on Firebrand Radio! Check it out here at this link: https://www.firebrandradio.online/
KATATONIA, DOZER and CHAINWRECK members team up in new band AMBASSADORS OF THE SUN
Ambassadors of the Sun was formed in 2017 by members Fredrik Nordin (vocals, guitar), Mathias Henrysson (guitar), Björn Tauman (bass), Daniel Liljekvist (drums). The members' past credentials and other contemporary commitments include Katatonia, Dozer, Chainwreck, Freaks and Clowns, Disrupted and many more.
Ambassadors of the Sun has been bubbling under the surface in the scenes that line the Dalecarlian music scene in Sweden. Musically, it is from the 60s to the present in one big sweep. The album generously gives you a mix of melodic and sometimes complex and heavy riffs of rock, metal, progressive tones and a distinct melodic sense that puts hooks in the memory bank with a constantly curious look at what awaits behind the next closed door.
On June 8, 2020, the single "From the Shadows" was released, and on July 10, 2020, the debut album "Orbiting a Dead Star" containing nine songs was released.
Track listing:
Disciple
Snail
From the Shadows
Cinnabon
So Long
Aches and Pains
1-9
Baretta
The Masochist
Lineup:
Fredrik Nordin (vocals, guitar)
Mathias Henrysson (guitar)
Björn Tauman (bass)
Daniel Liljekvist (drums)
Reviews of ”Orbiting a Dead Star”
8/10
Ambassadors of the Sun from Falun are experienced musicians with a background in bands such as Katatonia and Dozer. The experience is heard from the first note. The album begins stately with beautiful polyphonic singing, which promises a lot - and the promise is kept. The first song turns into heavy dark metal that seems to be characterized by anxiety and hopelessness. The world situation gives no reason for positive horizons. But as solar ambassadors, they may not have completely lost hope, as the willful end of "Snail" points out. After all, they seem to want to take on our dying earth star. Grunge is published as a genre that connects the members. Mainly on a melodic level, this reaches the ear, but this is not a retro album. The music is rather forward-looking and experimental, but also humble. This debut album contains an admirable mix of raw weight and well-constructed melodic parts. Often these dimensions flow together in an elegant way. "Cinnabon" is perhaps the best example, well played!
Anders Bartonek / Sweden Rock Magazine
9/10
Damn what an album! A release in this year's top tier. With heavy yet dynamic compositions, Ambassadors of the Sun gives us something out of the ordinary. Everything on the album is there because it is simply needed. Only killers - no fillers! Sweden's new big metal band!
Tony Asplund / Rockbladet.se
9/10
The debut album is a potpourri of impressions. Mix Ghost, In Flames and Opeth, garnish with Kadavar for this year's most important work. Heavy, intelligent and swinging riffs meet the right melodies. The epic Disciple overturns any kiosk. Then add Cinnabon and 1-9 and the next music export becomes a fact.
Fredrik Brolin / Rockbladet.se
8/10
Progressive tones that took their time to be created where the quartet managed to produce their own sound. The 9-minute opener Disciple is particularly phenomenal on a straight through well-composed record where Dozers Fredrik Nordin shows width in his vocal range. I sincerely hope that this does not stop at a side project.
Fredrik Blid / Rockbladet.se
9/10
A band from Dalecarlia in Sweden that did everything right. This is how you break through! Psychedelic rock, stoner and death-metal mix well with a precision-rich musicality and as a listener you just want more and more. A better debut than this must be impossible to achieve. Impressive!
André Millom / Rockbladet.se
9/10
Ambassadors of the Sun is a new supergroup from central Dalecarlia in Sweden. The debut album is a technically melodic creation that is both heavy and beautiful. Heavy riffs are mixed with complex drums, calm parts and full on metal. The verbal is alternately a lullaby or an alarm clock.
Mattias Hedeby / Rockbladet.se
8/10
Dark, mysterious, heavy and well-sounding, is my concise summary. The riff and the melodies are spot on in the powerful soundscape. The band is new, but the quartet really knows their stuff and has long experience in this metal genre. The Masochist and So Long will be added to my playlist. Magically!
Jonas Lööw / Rockbladet.se

A Vicious End - Don't Back Down - Streaming At The Rawk Dawg Show on Firebrand Radio! Check it out here at this link: https://www.firebrandradio.online/
A Vicious End Is a progressive metalcore band from the Bay Area, California. They are independently produced and are distributed through CD Baby. Founded in 2020, the band wrote and released the album “The Hills Will Burn” within a year of formation. In the face of a global pandemic, the band utilized the online platform “Fiverr” to bring together musicians from around the world for the creation of their debut album.
The “Hills Will Burn” features Igor Sokolov (St Petersburg, Russia) on vocals, Armando Diaz on Guitar/Bass/Drums, and guest performances by Christina Rotondo (U.K.- featured on “Fields Of Gray”), Daniel Picknell (U.K.- featured on “Without You”), Joylin (Ukraine- featured on “Behold The Archer”), and Carlos Carty (Peru- featured on “Trail of Tears”). The album was mixed and mastered by Filipe Gruber (Venezuela), the artwork was composed by Vhummel (Brazil).
The album features ominous, down-tuned guitar riffs paired with ferocious vocals centered around the growing social unrest spreading across America.
A Vicious End’s first full-length work starts off with the short instrumental “A New Beginning”, which creates an epic heavy metal atmosphere but is soon interrupted by “At Dawn We Ride”. Noticeably a lot heavier, the second song continues on a more melodic death metal / metalcore note. Next on is the gentler “Fields of Gray” where we can enjoy Christina Rotondo’s beautiful clean vocals, complementing the main vocal line just perfectly. Then we can hear “Smoke and Mirrors” and “Salt The Earth” – two more upbeat and energetic songs followed by “The Black Pearl”. The latter seems to be the heaviest piece so far – the slow and heavy guitar parts even set an almost djent-like mood – certainly a great genre development. The following “Trail of Tears” is probably the most unexpected track on the record, combining the metal and metalcore genres with Carlos Carty’s traditional music elements which showcases Armando’s more experimental side. The next one, “Don't Back Down” sounds more aggressive in its beginning but the hypnotizing clean vocals gradually make it more progressive and melodic. In turn, “Without You” and Dan Picknell’s clean vocals again make for an interesting addition to the album and create a great contrast to everything else we have heard so far which was mostly incredibly heavy - not that anyone is complaining! We also cannot fail to mention the magnificent guitar parts which are present all over the record and are the one consistent element that make it truly memorable and compositionally outstanding. “Let The Waters Consume” and “Insidious” are also great examples of Armando’s guitar excellence. The twelfth and final song “Behold The Archer” ends with a touching and kind of open-ended violin part descending into silence.
We can safely say that “The Hills Will Burn” is an intriguing and promising start to A Vicious End’s musical path!

Listen to the full show below on Mixcloud!
Listen to the interview alone on YouTube!
From the alluring forests of the Pacific Northwest comes Portland's only active symphonic black metal band, Empyrean Fire. Drawing influence from both modern black metal as well as classic Scandinavian bands, Empyrean Fire has manifested a lush symphonic opus with the shadow of the cascadian sound not far behind. Bombastic melodies soar over cinematic soundscapes as dominating vocals tear through each track and burst through the veil. Dazzling structural details burrow into the subconscious as the dizzying depth of all the layers present on this release demand another listen. The concept behind Empyrean Fire was ruminated upon for years by front woman, Tricia Myers, after reading Milton's "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained." "Gathering Storm" is the first chapter from the anticipated album, entitled "Deliverance," which is planned for release this Winter. The album is a sinister take on Milton's work, reshaping it with harrowing twists and malevolent revelations, each chapter a battle in the dragon's ascent to gain command over Hell on Earth. Will you bow down in battle, sunken before the spear?
Check out the new video for Gathering Storm!

HOODED MENACE Enters Studio to Record New Album - @thebeast
Finnish doom cultists HOODED MENACE are entering the studio to record their sixth full length, which will be released in 2021 via Season of Mist! The record will be mixed and mastered by King Diamond guitarst Andy LaRocque.
Guitarist Lasse comments: "We´re excited to announce that we’re entering the studio in November to record our sixth full-length album! As usual, we’re recording in various locations, but when comes to the drums, we chose to go to SF Sound Studio in Kontiolahti, Finland again, where we have tracked drums for our previous albums 'Effigies of Evil' and the latest 'Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed.' Being longtime, massive King Diamond fans, we´re beyond thrilled to have King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque handling the mixing and mastering of the album at his Sonic Train Studios in Sweden! Stay tuned, stay doomed!”
HOODED MENACE released their previous album, 'Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed,' on January 26, 2018 which can be found HERE .
The artwork, which has been created by Adam Burke (SÓLSTAFIR, PORTRAIT), can be viewed together with the album details below.
Doom has always been a style for a rather select but also very dedicated audience. Among the aficionados, HOODED MENACE have quickly become a household name for authenticity and excellence.
With their upcoming fifth album, 'Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed', the Finns continue to impress with immaculate songwriting skills and the perfect balance between harsh death metal fuelled outbursts and exquisite melodic melancholy.
HOODED MENACE were formed in Joensuu, Finland in 2007 by guitarist Lasse Pyykkö, who had also performed in the Finnish cult death metal band PHLEGETHON. The band has always avowed to the strong influence by early CANDLEMASS and CATHEDRAL as well as PARADISE LOST, AUTOPSY, ASPHYX, and WINTER. Their lyrics are often inspired by the classic 1970's Spanish horror movie series 'The Blind Dead'.
HOODED MENACE recorded a 2-track demo, 'The Eyeless Horde' in 2007, which was released on 7" the following year. Their debut album 'Fulfill the Curse' was released in 2008 and the highly acclaimed sophomore full-length 'Never Cross the Dead' came out in 2010. HOODED MENACE remained in a highly creative mode and delivered 'Effigies of Evil' in 2012 and their latest milestone, 'Darkness Drips Forth' in 2015. With a penchant for classic vinyl, the Finns also released several split singles and EPs for example with ASPHYX and COFFINS.
HOODED MENACE toured in Europe and North America, and performed at many major metal festivals such as Hellfest, Roadburn, Maryland Deathfest, Tuska, and Party San Open Air among others.
Now the time has once again come, when HOODED MENACE unleash skeletal horror and sombre despair onto their craving audience. The dead shall ride on 'Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed' and the living shall rejoice!

New Promo: Reign Of Vengeance - The Final Aeon For All Humans - (Death Metal) - @thebeast
E.P. INSPIRED BY INJUSTICES WITHIN AMERICAN FAMILY COURT SYSTEM
This concept and story line EP is about class warfare, the occulted orders, media, the Virus, and civil unrest taking place in a parallel universe which is dominated by Darkness, Bloodshed, and Evil.
This EP was originally released in 2013.
REIGN OF VENGEANCE "The Final Aeon For All Humans." has been said by the Heavy Metal and Horror Media worldwide to be "An Absolute Masterpiece of Beauty paired with Brutality."
REIGN OF VENGEANCE "The Final Aeon For All Humans." is available on all digital streaming and downloading services.
(New York, NY) – Death metal/metalcore stalwarts Reign Of Vengeance have just released a brand new lyric video for “ American Family Court: Thy Seeds To Belial ” with Brain Damage Films. This single is inspired by singer Marshall Beck’s own horrible experiences as a father fighting within the American family court system, as well as the vast amounts of research he into did this somehow socially-accepted institution. The brutal ode likens the modern institution to the ancient child sacrificing temple of the Canaanites, “Where Men and Children Come To Die”. The song encompasses the visceral story-telling, epic aural assault and occult-themed/chaos-fueled fury for which the band has come to be known. Click here to purchase “American Family Court: They Seeds To Belial”.
Of the track and corresponding lyric video, Marshall Beck commented, “We live in a time where misandry runs wild within the establishment media and legal/family court system. This in turn directly and indirectly affects children, fathers, and the cohesive family unit...After personally fighting through the most litigated family court case in the history of Arizona for 7 years and winning, having my rights continually trampled on, weathering through an endless sea of false allegations, having my social media accounts forcefully removed by court orders for criticizing their employees/institution, all of my money and resources drained and/or destroyed by attorneys and court appointees, as well as having my parental abilities continually questioned because of my "death metal lifestyle" being perceived as “a call to violence,” it seems absolutely necessary that Reign Of Vengeance release this song.
Not only does this song reveal what is currently taking place in the American family court system to 84% of children and fathers who end up within the chains of this system, but it does so in what I consider to be one of the best songs Reign Of Vengeance has released to date. Enjoy!” Brain Damage Films owner Darrin Ramage commented “We are the world’s largest distributor of indie horror movies and are delighted to once again be working with the musical horror titans who are Reign Of Vengeance on this release”.
The brainchild of noted metal vocalist, Marshall Beck, Reign Of Vengeance has released four albums/EPs to date, although the band has been around in numerous incarnations for upwards of fifteen years. Reign Of Vengeance has garnered significant attention from the metal community including a strong fanbase with Metal Sucks dubbing a recent release, “a short but incredible piece filled to the brim with violence, self-loathing, and social commentary…” Metal Storm has referred to their music as “one intense stab in the face”. Reign Of Vengeance appears on this recording as Marshall Beck – “The Illuminated Man” (vocals), Stefano Franceschini (Bass), Tyler Hacker (Guitar), Sean Maier (Guitar), Samus Paulicelli (Drums) and Veli Matti Kananen (Keyboards & Synths).

English metal legends CARCASS have released their massively anticipated, first collection of new music in 7 years, "Despicable," today via Nuclear Blast. Along with the new EP, the band has debuted a new visualizer for ' Slaughtered in Soho,' which Decibel called "a marvel of heavy groove, uplifting melody and dissonant attack"
Commenting on the song, founding vocalist / bassist Jeff Walker states:
"Here's the final track from the offcuts of the new album recording session that we decided to make available as an EP in order to tide people over. David Castillo who recorded & mixed the album was surprised this never made the cut… .we, the band, were NOT! Anyhow, grit your teeth and 'enjoy'!"

True metal originators, CARCASS have released several classic albums over the years and changed the trajectory of extreme metal with each consecutive release. Whether it was inventing gore-grind ( “ Reek of Putrefaction” & “Symphonies of Sickness”) or creating the template for melodic death metal ( “ Heartwork ”), CARCASS has always made records by which bars were set and rules were broken. After a 10 year hiatus (1996-2006), the band mounted a comeback, resurrecting Their blistering death-laden riffs and eventually released Their 6 th album, " Surgical Steel " (2013) and supported the record over the years with continuous touring, including Download, Hellfest, Deathfest, Decibel's Metal & Beer Festival, tours with Testament, Slayer, Napalm Death, Obituary and Voivod to name a few.
Now, seven years after their last record the band returns to the extreme metal throne with a new EP, "Despicable," out in Oct 2020, which serves as a precursor to their next full-length's impending destruction.

Rockshots Records: Greek Power Prog BLACK FATE Release Music Video "Maze" For New Album "Ithaca" - @thebeast
Greek power prog Black Fate is sharing with fans their new music video "Maze" in support of the new album "Ithaca" released on October 23rd via Rockshots Records and Rubicon Records in Japan.
The band comments about the song:
"'Μaze' is one of the most representing tracks for "Ithaca" and Black Fate in 2020. It has one of our favorite guitar riffs and one of the most catchy choruses in the album. The middle section shows our atmospheric and progressive side. With haunting melodies and vocals, delicate keyboards, and a technical yet very melodic solo, Maze is one of our favorite songs in 'Ithaca"'.
Watch the video at the following link on YouTube .
With their heartbreaking world-class vocals, catchy hooks, and lyrics, along with crashing guitar riffs, haunting melodies, and furious technical and melodic solos, Black Fate continues to satisfy bands with the release of their 5th studio album. "Ithaca" was mixed and mastered by Steve Lado and follows full-lengths “Between Visions and Lies” (2014) (Ulterium Records), “Deliverance of Soul” (2009) (Asiral Records), “A Piece of Dream” (2002) (Secret Port Records), “Uncover” (2001) (Secret Port Records).
The band comments on the release of "Ithaca":
"'Ithaca' is melodic, technical, and groovy, but also a bit dark. It has beautiful and strange melodies with powerful emotions. We believe it's an album for all kinds of metal audiences. We hope the fans will see it the same way. We see ‘’Ithaca’’ as a very integrated album. Fans who have followed us over the years will also notice many changes in the songwriting process, we concentrated to find the best form and the best overall result for every song."

About:
Black Fate was formed in 1990 in Larissa, Greece, and introduced themselves to the metal world with two demos ’’Black Fate” and “A Piece of Dream’’ with great praise.
A decade after establishing themselves and a few lineup changes, the band debut the 2000 full length "Uncover" via Secret Port Records, and two years later their two first original demos were also released together under the title “A Piece of Dream”.
After a short hiatus, the band returned in 2009 with their next offering "Deliverance of Soul’’ via Asiral Records.
Then in 2014, the power melodic metal band switched up to a new line up featuring vocalist Vasilis Georgiou, guitarist Gus Drax from UK bands Biomechanical and Sunburst, bassist Vasilis Liakos and drummer Tsintzilonis Nikos. The new line up recorded the album ”Between Visions and Lies" released by Swedish label Ulterium Records in 2014 along with the label re-issuing in 2016 the band's re-mastered 2009 album ”Deliverance of Soul” along with new album artwork.
Then in 2019, the band recruited keyboardist Themis Koparanidis and Black Fate hit the studio to record their 12 track epic "Ithaca" that was mixed and mastered by Steve Lado and now scheduled to be released via Italian label Rockshots Records for October 2020.
Black Fate is inspired by the giants of their genre (Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Kamelot, Nightwish, Iron Maiden, Dio, and many others) and look forward to showcasing their blend of melodic progressive power metal in the next chapter of their two-decade career.

New Music: Asyllex - "Ephemeros" Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal from Faroe Islands - @thebeast
Asyllex - "Ephemeros"
Tutl
DIGITAL | CD
Release date: 18/09/2020
Ephemeros (Short Lived).
Grasping all walks of life, and the few years we have on earth.
Ephemeros centers around our choices in life, and our journey towards the grave... And afterwards.
After releasing their debut album in 2017 which was mainly inspired by the 80s thrash metal era, Asyllex started the writing process of Ephemeros. Looking into a more original musical path, not limited to any specific sub genre, in the metal universe.
Ephemeros is a culmination of all of the band’s musical inspirations. From Ballads, to full-blown thrash songs. Epic symphonic arrangements, and black metal inspired somber melodies. Asyllex teamed up with composer Clemens Wijers for orchestral arrangements. Musically, the goal was to take the listener on a journey, through life from the very beginning to the untimely end. Experiencing life and death, through different perspectives and legacies. Witnessing that, ultimately, we all wither away, and only have this short time, to make good of. After searching for over a year for an artist to make the perfect artwork for the album, Asyllex reached out to infamous visual artist Marcelo Vasco, who based on the concept and lyrics of the album formed a perfect visual representation of the music.
This album has been a passion project for a long time, and is finally able to see the light of day, thanks to help of Arvid Tjelta. Asyllex is very eager, to share this album with the world.

New Promo: Incursion - The Hunter (E.P.) - NWOTHM - @thebeast
Incursion - "The Hunter"
Label: No Remorse Records Release: 11/12/2020
Incursion - "The Hunter"
DIGITAL | CD | LP
NWOTHM from USA
"The Hunter" is Incursion's debut EP, a US band originally active between 1982 and 1986, which returned its activity back in 2018. Ready to assault you with their New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal, Incursion are set to release "The Hunter" on CD and vinyl this fall.
Bio
Incursion has reunited and burst onto the traditional Heavy Metal scene. The band has released their debut six-song EP – The Hunter – on No Remorse Records. Incursion consists of original members Maxx Havick and Michael Lashinsky on guitars with Buddy Norris on drums. The lineup is completed by Stone Jamess on bass and Steve Samson on lead vocals.
The Miami, FL based band was active from 1982-1986 and did not have a formal release outside a locally produced cassette compilation of Florida Hardcore and metal bands in 1985. In 2018 the three original members got back together with the intent of finally performing and recording their wealth of material. Recruiting Steve and then Stone made the band complete and ready to present the music as it was intended.
The Hunter is a concept EP. The Hunter – born in a war-torn land and destined to fight for survival since birth, faced all adversaries, man and beast alike. He mastered his inner demons through faith, battle and revenge. The Hunter’s blade led him through chaos to his final struggle with the false king. In his quest to become the King of All the Land, The Hunter’s journey is ageless, but almost forgotten.
The Hunter EP was recorded at Alpaca Ranch Recording by Chris Short ( Alestorm ). It was mixed by Jorg Uken at Soundlodge Studios ( Anvil , Savage Blood , Powergame ). The Artwork was created by famed artist Phil Lawvere ( Celtic Frost , Kreator , Hirax ).

Cellar Vessel - Vein Beneath The Soil - Featured At Michael's Music Blog! - @thebeast
Cellar Vessel - Vein Beneath The Soil - Featured At Michael's Music Blog! Check it out here at this link: https://michaelsmusicblog.com/michaels-music-blog/f/cellar-vessel
PRESS RELEASE
Cellar Vessel's debut album “Vein Beneath The Soil” is an epic journey through cinematic dreamscapes and crushing death grooves, with moments of flamenco and jazz influences. This album was composed by Jake Schreuder in the isolation of the mountainous wilderness of Montana. Much like the unpredictable and often schizophrenic weather patterns deep in those mountains, the moods and styles of “Vein Beneath The Soil” shift in an awe inspiring range of emotions. Accented by Navarro's thundering drums, and Scotto's piercing vocals, "Vein Beneath The Soil" is a beautiful melodic descension into madness.
BIO
The seed for Cellar Vessel was planted in 2013, when Jake Schreuder sought to bring his compositions out of his dismal college dwelling, and into a legitimate project. With passions fixed on isolation and creativity, Schreuder posted the oxymoronic ad, “Calling All Musical Introverts.” Chris Navarro, an aspiring extreme drummer, was the sole replier. From that day forward, Navarro and Schreuder intertwined musical discipline, friendship, and unrelenting criticism in an effort to push them to their creative limits. Cellar Vessel’s first song, Murk was written in their first week of playing together, and rehearsed obsessively. Navarro, ever the exacting drummer, told Schreuder that his maximum blast/double bass speed at the time was 190 BPM, which in turn caused Schreuder to designate the song’s tempo to 191 bpm. This sort of encouraging musical cruelty laid the foundation for what was to eventually become an album’s worth of material on Vein Beneath The Soil.
Although the 3 members of Cellar Vessel now span across the country, the project originated in the musically deprived small town of Bozeman, Montana. The band was created, first and foremost, as a project meant for the author’s alone. But as skills and compositions progressed, the compulsion for live feedback became more appealing. Cellar Vessel’s music was rehearsed and practiced as instrumental pieces for over 3 years, until Dario Scotto was recommended by a close friend of the band. Scotto arrived with a small booklet of lyrics, which he spewed with magnificent guttural prowess over Navarro and Schreuder’s compositions. The intensity of the music paired with Scotto’s horrifying shrieks and desperate growls was the final piece of the puzzle. 4 years later, after a small handful of shows supporting nationally renowned artists, Cellar Vessel once again became reclusive and its members isolated themselves across the country in an effort to continually progress their disciplines. Now, this 8 year journey and its many lessons have realized this projects maturity, and signaled its readiness to be released to the public. Schreuder, Scotto and Navarro proudly present their first full length album: Vein Beneath the Soil.

New Promo: Fatal Sin - Intense Distress - 2020 Reissue! (Thrash Metal) - @thebeast
FOR FANS OF: Atheist, (early) Megadeth, (early) Cynic
FATAL SIN were formed in late 1985 in Boca Raton, Florida by guitarist Adam Riewold and drummer Greg Threlkel (who were in middle school at the time) out of a love for both the energized Thrash of bands such as Slayer and Megadeth as well as the more intricate arrangements of Rush. After going through a revolving door of musicians, the line-up solidified with the addition of guitarist Haven Eaton and bassist Kevin Bachaus.
Fast forward, FATAL SIN would take home the top prize at a local Battle of the Bands, winning 4 hours of free studio time. With their winnings the band would enter Hollywood Sync Studios in November of 1989 to record their first demo. Friend, and bassist for local heavyweight's Saigon Kick Tom DeFile, produced. Armed with a quality recording, FATAL SIN would begin to gig heavily, sharing the stage with bands such as Vio-Lence, Devastation, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Raped Ape, Cynic, and Pantera.
Not long after the recording of the 1989 Demo and that momentum began, Kevin would be diagnosed with spinal cancer and would have to exit the band. Adam would switch from guitar to bass, making FATAL SIN a three piece. It would be during this period that the band would begin to be influenced by not only bands such
as Watchtower and Voi-Vod , but also by the complex sounds and arrangements of classic Jazz/Fusion artists such as Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra . These influences are highly evident on their final studio recording, "Episode", which was recorded in 1991 for a local compilation album " Unsigned III: Killing Time ".
Shortly after the recording of “Episode”, FATAL SIN would go on hiatus for close to a year before reemerging as UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. The band would issue one final 3-song selftitled demo in 1993 and disband in 1997.
Greg Threlkel would go on to co-found the band BURNER in 1998 along with guitarists John Paul Soars ( Raped Ape/Paingod/Malevolent Creation/Divine Empire ) and Jason Morgan ( Monstrosity ), who would record one album for Arctic Music Group in 1992 titled “One For The Road”. Adam Riewold moved to Tampa, Florida and has been involved in multiple projects, with his most recent being the band LEVEL THE PLANET.
This deluxe re-issue features all of the bands studio recordings, as well as 3 live songs, fully remastered from the original sources by Rob Colwell at Bombworks Sound and an 8-page booklet featuring archival photos and some personal insights from Adam Riewold. Also included is a bonus DVD featuring their entire performance at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida in 1990.

Temponaut - Meridian - Reviewed By North From Northern! check it out here at this link: https://northfromnorthern.wordpress.com/2020/10/27/review-temponaut-meridian/
Temponaut are hailing from Virginia and this is their brand new e.p. These guys play their vision of progressive metalcore with many influences and excellent musicianship. There are six songs on this little record and Buffering is kind of weird yet ominous intro to the things coming afterwards. Meridian of Misery sounds a bit chaotic but evolves in the last third of the song into awesome melody sounding a bit like Gothenburg style death metal, the only thing lacking here in my opinion are vocals and that would be fantastic. Yes, the whole record is instrumental with no vocals, but no matter, Temponaut let their music speak for itself. Lockout is a song that sounds with awesome drum coupled with bass and atmospheric almost post black metal vibe and with keyboard melody behind it brings the whole thing to a nice slow rolling ocean of emotions. We Have Our Heading is the longest song on the record and being a mixture of heavy metal, I even hear some doom metal in there, but the drumming and changes in the tempo and atmosphere from upbeat metal to sludge post black metal are just fantastic! This does not get boring for one second while listening. Forgotten is somehow the most weird and noise sounding song on the record with that weird wicked melody at the end of the song that gets under your skin and just doesn´t get out for hours. The Rudis is the last song on the record and also being the most epic and reminded me a lot of one band from my hometown Emphasis, who play similar kind of songs. Good one.

ORCumentary completes recordings for new album - @thebeast
New England comedic metal act ORCumentary is gearing up to release a long-awaited new album. Mastermind Orc Adams says,
"Orc warriors everywhere, rejoice! The forthcoming ORCumentary album is now being mixed and mastered at Sonic Titan Studios! The wretched human pandemic gave me the unique opportunity to pursue a bonkers idea I had over a decade ago: creating a fully orchestral album! In addition to the previously released single 'The Time of the Orc Has Come,' this album includes 6 classic ORC songs and a special cover, stripped of their electric instruments and replaced with searing strings, brazen brass, pounding percussion, and tooting flutes! This album also commemorates 15 years of elf-killing insanity!"
Release date and preorder information coming soon!
About ORCumentary
The time of the orc... has come! ORCumentary is a long running orc metal project from the mind of Orc Adams. Formed in 2006 when Adams was just a Lord of the Rings obsessed kid, the band grew to surprising success, playing hundreds of shows, achieving viral success and opening for bands like Agalloch and Fen. While it may seem silly, ORCumentary has seen critical acclaim everywhere from Loudwire to Metal Injection.
Their brand of orc and comedy inspired melodic metal may be off beat – but it has certainly found its fantasy obsessed audience! Having been initially inspired by acts like Amorphis, Finntroll and Sabaton as well as of course by LOTR, ORCumentary rapidly developed a unique sound. Their live show sees Adams taking on the persona of an orc, speaking in a different voice, swaggering about the stage and insulting his audience. It all ties into a larger backstory where his character seeks to overcome the free races to ensure orc supremacy. This stage show has won him acclaim across the internet, in particular with a hilarious set at a Hot Topic and then again when he provided an orc metal alternative to 2019's much-maligned Maroon 5 Super Bowl halftime show. His sets are known for their self aware humor, but also their gleeful nerdiness. After all – that’s what orc metal is all about!
Now, after several years of silence, ORCumentary is back, preparing for a new album and eager to take on the world. Ready to step back into the glory days of the 2010s, this project has taken bold new artistic steps.

HOCUS POCUS PERFORM LIVE SOLIDARITY WITH MANGER CADAVRE? AND CRUENT FOR SPACE MAINTENANCE - @thebeast
A icônica casa de shows Hocus Pocus, localizada em São José dos Campos, interior de São Paulo, é um espaço de médio porte, com capacidade para receber até 500 pessoas. Circuito de grandes shows, localizada entre São Paulo e o Rio de Janeiro, se consagrou por ter se tornado a casa dos músicos independentes, sendo uma das remasnescentes na região.
Em atividade desde 1994, a Hocus Pocus já enfrentou diversos impactos dos momentos históricos do país, porém, dirigida por uma família considerada guerreira pelos frequentadores, se reinventou diversas vezes e, nesses 26 anos, conseguiu manter-se em pé, proporcionando shows inesquecíveis que marcam a cena rock do Vale do Paraíba.
No entanto, com a pandemia do Covid-19, o setor de eventos que foi um dos mais afetados, junto ao dos trabalhadores informais. A graxa, como são chamados os técnicos de som, roadies, produção… se viu sem perspectivas de ganhos e com imensas dificuldades para conseguir auxílio governamental. O Corona Vírus fez com que inúmeras casas de shows Brasil a fora encerrassem suas atividades, o que é algo desolador em um país com um governo que não valoriza a cultura. E é nesse contexto que a Hocus Pocus busca mais uma vez se reinventar, para manter-se de pé.
Após a realização de duas lives (sendo a primeira delas com a Attômica de thrash metal), dessa vez os convidados foram bandas locais, amigas da casa. São elas: a joseense Manger Cadavre? e os vizinhos, Cruento, de Jacareí. Durante a divulgação da live, está sendo propagado o link da vakinha virtual para receber doações que serão revertidas para o pagamento de contas fixas que a Hocus Pocus conta para manter-se aberta, mesmo sem a realização de shows. As doações poderão ser feitas até o dia seguinte ao evento.
Os shows ao vivo não terão público e a transmissão online será realizada com equipe reduzida, além de todas as medidas de segurança necessárias para evitar a propagação do Covid-19. Essa foi a forma encontrada por Toninho Ribeiro (proprietário da Hocus Pocus) para sustentar o espaço: contar com a comunidade.
Sobre a Live:
A Manger Cadavre? é uma banda de harcore crust que se destacou nos últimos anos pela qualidade de sua produção e pelas tours percorrendo todo o Brasil. Essa será a primeira aparição da banda em nova formação.
https://www.instagram.com/mangercadavre/
Cruento, por sua vez, apresenta seu crust punk repleto de energia, e vontade de tocar após o lançamento de um álbum muito elogiado.

Late 2019, the band started the recording process of the first EP "Before It Awakes" as well as starting to perform live in Skövde as well as other nearby towns. Then Covid -19 hit, which put a temporary stop to the band's live performances. During this time the focus instead shifted towards completing the EP, which was independently released digitally mid-September, 2020-09-18.

Junior Bruce stream entirety of new album "Pray for Death" - @thebeast
Florida's JUNIOR BRUCE are streaming the entirety of their new album "Pray for Death" via Decibel Magazine. The album is set to be released on October 30th via Sludgelord Records.
Stream the album in full: https://www. decibelmagazine.com/2020/10/ 21/album-premiere-junior- bruce-pray-for-death/
Pre-order: https:// thesludgelord.bandcamp.com/ album/pray-for-death Pray For Death by Junior Bruce
Dredged from the swamps of DeLand, Florida, long-running stoner metal/sludge outfit Junior Bruce is about to unleash their fourth studio recording via Sludgelord Records . The Pray for Death LP will be released on cassette and digital formats.
Vocalist Scott Angelacos, bassist Tom Crowther, guitarist Nate Jones, and drummer Brett Tanner established the band in 2007, signing to A389 Records in 2010; that same year, Angelacos founded High Five Studios with friend Jeff McAlear. Bryan Raymond joined Junior Bruce on guitar in 2011 and the band released their debut album The Headless King with A389 in 2012.
Unfortunately, the band went through some tragic transitions over the next several years. Brett Tanner passed away in 2012, and Bryan Raymond survived a debilitating motorcycle accident in 2015. Jeff McAlear stepped into Tanner's role, while Chris Hayden replaced Raymond as the second guitarist; the band put out two releases with A389 during this time, The Ocean's Daughter EP in 2014 and full-length album Endless Descent in 2016.
Junior Bruce began a new chapter of writing and recording in 2018 with guitarist Brett Walker, who joined the band after Nate Jones's departure. Drawing influence from Black Sabbath to Motorhead, Pink Floyd, and Bad Brains, the band delivers freight train riffage that has just the right mix of menace and groove. Over the years, they've supported the likes of Pentagram, EYEHATEGOD, Integrity, Big Business, Yob, Monolord, Weedeater, and more, as well as appearing at Maryland Deathfest, A389 Bash, Mutants of the Monsters Festival, Anti-Pop Festival, and Florida Is Loud Festival. Called "bullish and blistering" by Louder Sound and "striking" by Glacially Musical , this was a band on the precipice of great things.
And just as Junior Bruce was ready to kick into high gear, the coronavirus pandemic put the music industry -- and everything else in the world -- on hold. They were able to finish recording the LP Pray For Death , with McAlear handling production duties at High Five Studios and Sanford Parker at Hypercude in Chicago, Illinois contributing his mixing and mastering expertise.
Pray For Death is the work of five musicians who have honed their creative and collaborative processes over more than a decade, overcoming many challenges along the way. Soaked in swamp muck and drenched in fuzz, Junior Bruce is a force to be reckoned with.
Lineup:
Scott Angelacos-Vocals
Tom Crowther-Bass
Jeff McAlear-Drums
Brett Walker-Lead Guitar
Chris Hayden-Guitar

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS
1. This is the first album entirely worked on exclusively by Michael Sanchez, he's been the main songwriter for Pain Patterns and has had his contributions towards Judicator, but everything done by King Ov Wyrms so far is all done by him with no outside additions.
2. This is the 2nd full-length album Michael has produced from his home studio Odyssey Sound Studios, aside from doing some preproduction for several Tucson bands and helping record for the Judicator albums, and taking the production control for Pain Patterns.
3. King Ov Thornes has gone through at least 8 different band members before ultimately becoming a solo effort, the original idea was to feature some of Michael's personal favorite band members from his favorite Arizona based death metal groups.
4. This is the first time Michael’s vocals have been recorded, Michael has done backing vocals for Pain Patterns for several years under the instruction of Jesse Lujan (Pain Patterns main vocalist). After recording some demo vocals for early King Ov Wyrms tracks Michael was pushed to attempt doing vocals for the whole album by Paul Black of Turned To Stone and Patrick Parris of Project Roenwolfe.
About:
King Ov Wyrms is homage to classic death and black metal acts of the late ’80s/early ’90s with a touch of modern aggression.
Formed in Tucson, AZ. King came from the want of a more aggressive act when the main band of Michael Sanchez, Pain Patterns, started taking its roots in early 2015. He loved the music he was creating but felt that the band couldn’t fulfill his desire for a purely aggressive musical venture.
The project went through many different lineup changes only to be consistently held together by Sanchez. Having studied classical music and jazz to a degree while growing up, it gave him the tools to write comfortably on his own even in the concept of metal music. He starts out with a basic riff or a small melody line off of a piano and just adds on and on until it manifests into some sort of abomination of sound.
In early 2020 upon Sanchez’s departure from the power metal act Judicator, he decided to pull King out of hiatus but only as a solo effort to produce a full-length album. Over the span of several months, Sanchez was able to completely record all of the songs previously written for King as a full lineup, this time all the music was performed and written solely by him.
King Ov Wyrms will release its debut album “Lord Ov Thornes” on November 20th, 2020, and it will feature lyrical themes encompassing the occult, and a deep love for Lovecraftian horror.

Choosing a Wax Liquidizer Vs. Vaporizer - @thebeast
Wax Vaporizer vs. Vapor Juice - Is there a difference between the two? Yes, there is a huge difference between the two, especially in the end-product you are producing. Let's take a look at each.
get vapor products
First, wax vaporizer Liquidizers do not have PG, VG, THC, or any other ingredient called "vaping". Wax Vaporizer contains a proprietary mixture of ingredients consisting of lab/medical grade Propylene Glycol Alcohol. This is not vaporizing. You can get vapor products called "vapors", "drippers", "drippers juice" and so on. These do not have the same ingredients as wax, and they cannot produce the same end-product.
So how do the ingredients in the wax vaporizer - https://www.waxliquidizer.com/ compare to the ingredients used in vapor products? Here are a few of the comparisons I have done. For example, "drippers juice" contains the same amount of active ingredient as an average wax product. And it costs about half of what a standard wax product does.
Another comparison is what is called "Vapers Juice". This is the same amount of active ingredient as an average wax product but it has a little more sweetness, and a longer shelf life. And it costs about fifty percent less than a standard wax product does.
So how do I know which one is better? Well, in my opinion, if you are going to be doing your own personal experiments and testing, go with a "standard" wax terpenes liquidizer kit . This is for the fact that it will save you time and money and it will give you a quality end product.
higher quality
If you want to produce a more expensive, higher quality "Vapers Juice" and use the same methods that you would use in a "standard" vaporizer, go with a "vapors" vaporizer. The same types of things that I have been referring to above. If you want a product that is going to taste just like real smoke, then a "ripper vaporizer is for you. But for something more intense, you want to go with a "dripper" like "dripper juice".
I hope this article helps you decide which kind of vaporizer you should go with. Hopefully, you will also find this article helpful as you learn how to choose the best product for your needs. So go ahead and let this information be your starting point.
Wax Vaporizer Vs. Vapor Juice - Is there a difference? I think there is and the answer is yes, so don't settle on the first product that you try out!
Natural Wax
Wax is usually just what they call "natural" in nature or natural when it comes from wood or cotton. In other words, it doesn't contain any chemicals that are not found naturally in the environment. So why would you want to substitute a chemical for the natural wax in the vaporizer? Well, the answer is simple. You want something that is going to give you the same taste but be made up of real plant-based ingredients.
There are a lot of natural waxes that you can use in a vaporizer and most of them are actually more effective than the commercial brands. The thing is, when they are used in the wrong way, they can cause allergic reactions in some people and even cause damage to your health.
When choosing a liquidizer vs. vaporizer, you need to make sure you know exactly what you want to get out of it. Are you looking for something that only makes a certain taste? Or is there a way to have both?
For example, you might want to choose a liquidizer that produces two different liquids, one with a certain type of flavor, and then a second with a different flavor. But how can you know which is going to give you what you are looking for?
Many liquids are available now that can make a lot of different flavors. In addition, some brands actually offer a number of different types of flavored liquids as well. So if you are interested in the option of having several different flavors, you might want to check out a variety of these.

Inception of Eternity - Into Darkness - Reviewed By Metal Temple! - @thebeast
Inception of Eternity - Into Darkness - Reviewed By Metal Temple! Check it out here at this link: http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/i_2/inception-of-eternity.htm
INCEPTION OF ETERNITY is a two man band from Germany and the US. The two met through another mutual Goth Rock project ELI VAN PIKE. Their debut album “Into Darkness” came out in September and what a show they put on. The duo creates Gothic Metal with splashes of Goth/Industrial and a few surprises throughout. Read on for a track breakdown.
The band titled intro track leads into the synth-heavy track “Ashes to Ashes”. This song is quite atmospheric with the orchestration and Goth style rhythm. I can imagine a crumbling industrial world; rusting metal structures and smoke stacks billowing with steam and whirling around buzzing neon lights. “Whatever You Want” reminded me of DEPECHE MODE with a string and bagpipe section added in. The scene carries from the last, someone is trying to escape the concrete jungle and is perhaps in a seedy part of the city to figure out a plan. “Father” has a wistful, nostalgic feel with the Folk Metal elements mixed into this one. “Children from Hell” features German singer SINtana. The contrast of her bell-like voice and Ken's low tone was perfect for this haunting pure Gothic Metal track; complete with some cool electronic beats and catchy melodies on the piano and in the sang portions.
“Obsession” flows into the heavier, yet dance-worthy Goth/Industrial vein. The low spoken vocals paired with the rad riffs and key solos is easily something I can imagine blasting at a goth dance club, circa 1995. “Beyond Sunrise” is a full instrumental track that continues with the pure Goth feel, even with an electronic organ and some synths in the mix. “Lust For Life” brings the folk instruments back in the smoky streets of the city. You could definitely feel the longing and some despair in this groovy track. “Bright Lights” certainly painted a scene of driving and seeing the city illuminated before you. There's a glorious feeling with the choirs subtly humming behind the main melody too. “I Don't Care” is another dance-worthy Goth club number. Some major NINE INCH NAILS vibes in this one. “Lies” is a gloomier track, in the vein of late 80's CLAN OF XYMOX. The album closes with the song “My Mortality”. The setting in this song was super cool; the synthesizers and orchestration are so theatrical and kind of spooky. I kept picturing vampires; the enticing yet slightly unsettling vibe of this track definitely paints some sort of ethereal immortal being. This synthy track could have easily fit in in a movie like “Queen of the Damned” or “Underworld”.
Overall, while I had a feeling this album would be pretty cool, I loved it even more than I expected to. I really enjoy Goth music and I'm always curious to hear modern-day bands give the synth-heavy gloomy genre a whirl. INCEPTION OF ETERNITY certainly channels the genre well, but also added their own twist with some folk instrumentation mixed in. I also really loved the Peter Steele-esque bass ranged vocals and the Darkwave to pure Goth/Industrial instrumental interludes as the album flowed along. There were other times that the band would take on a more mid to late 90s THEATRE OF TRAGEDY feel as well (a personal favorite band of mine!) I also enjoyed the atmospheric portions that painted all kinds of moonlit or flickering neon light lit scenes in my mind as I listened. This album is honestly worth listening to multiple times over; what a great debut album!

With Inception Of Eternity, the German label darkSIGN-Records brings another promising project to the start.
Head of the project is again Thorsten Eligehausen, who has already founded, produced and successfully established projects like Cradle of Haze, Eli van Pike or Schandpfahl in the scene. With Inception Of Eternity influences from Scandinavian Symphonic Metal and German medieval rock are combined to an interesting Gothic Rock mixture. The songs were written, recorded and produced by Thorsten Eligehausen. As vocal support, Eligehausen brought no less a person than the American singer Ken Pike into the team. Pike is also
a member of the project Eli van Pike and is also a well-known figure through his own projects Absolon, Firesphere and brand new Blutlaich. Eligehausen has also brought other professionals on board as supporting musicians: For the lead guitar in the instrumental song "Beyond Sunrise" he could win the German guitarist Marc Vanderberg (also a member of Eli van Pike) and the song "Children from Hell" is perfected by the German singer SINtana.
The album will be available from 21.08.2020 on all platforms corresponding to the genre.
