Bent Self - Wins Battle Of The Bands This Week ON MDR! - @thebeast

Bent Self - Wins Battle Of The Bands This Week ON MDR! Coming in with a devastating14,165 votes! Entering Dustyn Marsing's RV is to enter the wicked and warped world of his anarcho-industrial moniker Bent Self –a grungy and gleefully menacing journey all conceived in Dustyn's 'squeals-on-wheels' RV home base. Mixing hip-hop, industrial, electronic, and metal, Bent Self straps listeners into the backseat and keeps both feet on the gas pedal with his 4th album Waves – an album that, like its namesake, ebbs, flows, and of course crashes... These elements define the soundscape on the album's focus single Love Will Stay With You. Equal parts atmospheric and melancholic, horrorcore inspired synths to pave the way for Bent Self's coarse and impassioned vocals. The song communicates a romantic message dressed in dark metal and synth elements in a space between the best of John Carpenter and Linkin Park. The 10-track album pulls listeners down a rabbit hole, initially shrouded in mystery with the opening song Some Days, before dragging them through the kinetic choruses She's so Delicate, the emotional depths of Please Just Go, and wowing them with stand out features from The Adepts and Louis Gibbor. Bent Self's enigmatic world extends beyond the album itself. The artist's Galactic Weed Bandits merch line has taken on a life of its own. Building on his anarchic and fun-loving persona, the brand is exactly what it sounds like – little green aliens with big green plants. Ever the restless creative, Bent Self wasn't content laying low while the world still, and opted to go galactically ganja with astronomical success. The venture is a success in its own right while figuratively abducting a whole new legion of fans to Bent Self's discography. Technically proficient and twistedly dark, Bent Self's genre-blending Waves is a must-listen for fans of music that dares to experiment and explore themes and sounds beyond the norm. Waves is available to stream on all digital platforms now.

Rockshots Records – Latvian Rock n’ Rollers QUICKSTRIKE New Music Video "Cheats n’ Liars"; Debut Album “None of a Kind” Out Feb 11th - @thebeast

Latvian classic rockers QUICKSTRIKE will be releasing their debut album “None of a Kind” via Rockshots Records this coming February 2022. The full-length, clocking at over 40 minutes will feature 10 songs along with a bonus track exclusively on CD. A no-nonsense experience of raw guitars, sweet tones, genuine vocals, and sweet emotions, each Quickstrike song is an event of its own and it’s all real to reel. Offering an all-around chamber of good ol’ classic rock n’ roll, the band delivers an authentic “what-you-get-on-the-record- is-what-you-get-live” experience. Take it or leave it, no refunds, as you will not want any – guaranteed. They are an encounter that will leave you dazed, amazed, crazed, and definitely craving for more. From the beautiful harmonies to flamin’ high-octane performances (literally), this is a package that has been missing since the likes of Aerosmith and Guns n’ Roses. This is a band you can’t afford to miss. Today, Quickstrike is sharing their third single "Cheats n’ Liars" in preview to the album. "One of the first songs written by the band back in 2018, and also the very first music video we shot. The venue is 'Live Art' in our hometown Valmiera, where the band played numerous unforgettable shows." Watch "Cheats n’ Liars" at Establishing their permanent lineup in 2017, the quintet has been performing attested, high-quality rock n’ roll all over Europe as an unstoppable freight train gig after gig. Their momentum has even landed them a performance at the Baltic region’s largest motorcycle festival “Kurland Bike Meet” in 2018. With the emergence of such bands as Greta Van Fleet, the sudden popularity of the Queen biopic, and the Guns n’ Roses reunion, they all point to one thing, good ol’ rock n’ roll is slowly preparing for its long-awaited return to the spotlight. Quickstrike ‘s sound is reminiscent of those aforementioned bands and so much more as they prepare to share with the world their first full length that’s been three years in the making. “While pre-production was started in 2018, the actual tracks were laid down and mixed at Hodila Records in 2019. The mastering process took place at White Wide Productions in 2021. This debut is a pandora’s box with a vintage feel, topped off with a mix of the band’s attitude and raw energy. We’re bringing the old school into the new decade – sonic satisfaction guaranteed. But don’t just take our word for it, experience “None of a Kind” for yourself.” adds the band. Album lyrics were mainly written by vocalist “Piggy” and rhythm guitarist “Ritchskies”. While drummer “Fourleaf Graves” very often adds a melody in his head for a song. Instrumentally, Quickstrike ‘s songs have a pattern of “Ritchskies” constantly giving birth to riff after riff at each band practice or sometimes making them up on the go, he’s been dubbed “the riff machine”, and the band just builds from there. “None of a Kind” will be out on February 11, 2022 and available for physical pre-order and digital pre-save at the following links: Album pre-order – https://bit.ly/NoneOfAKind_CD Music Video - None of a Kind - Music Video - Rebel Radio - Track Listing: 1.

Rockshots Records – BERIEDIR Celebrate Release of New Album "AQVA" w/ New Music Video "At Candle Light" - @thebeast

To celebrate the release of their new album "AQVA", out now as of Friday, Jan 21st via Rockshots Records , progressive power metal legion Beriedir are sharing with fans their latest music video for the track "At Candle Light" . The song is about finding shelter in someone, not as a perfect saviour, but as a true companion, while treading a dark road in an unknown and strange place, all of this with the aid of the little light that we’re often allowed to have during our life. The video can be viewed at Beriedir 's second full-length “AQVA” features ten tracks of progressive, power, and melodic death metal that were mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni (Domination Studio). “AQVA” , despite not being a real concept album with a story articulating itself throughout the tracks, touches its various topics through the many forms in which water manifests, be it a river, a storm or tears. The album deals with rather introspective matters, trying to give a new perspective on situations that Biriedir thinks their listeners will find relatable and hoping that they will maybe take shelter in their audio experience, using them as their own voice when only music can speak for us. “We think AQVA will positively surprise our older fans and lead new ones, this record is much more diverse and has definitely matured in songwriting. The main goal of AQVA as a whole is to figuratively “submerge” the listener with a spectrum of themes, both musical and lyrical, related to water and its shapes. Water is the element of flow, it’s the substance that conceals, preserves, and washes all away. The lulling nature of a silent shore or a rapping rain is juxtaposed to the fearsome imagery of the undertow, riptides, and tidal waves. We tried to convey these atavistic sensations differently from track to track. The singles were chosen to showcase the variety of approaches to this theme.” adds band founder Stefano Nüsperli. Recommended for fans of Vision Divine, Dream Theater, Dark Tranquillity, Pain of Salvation and Katatonia, “AQVA” is available for pre-order at the following links: CD - https://bit.ly/AQVA_DIGICD Digital - https://bfan.link/aqva Lyric Video - Stormbound - Track Listing: 1. At Candle Light (4:38) 2. Departure Song (6:05) 3. The Dove and the Serpent (6:46) 4. The Angel in the Lighthouse (6:10) 5. The Drowned (5:33) 6. Stormbound (4:19) 7. Arkangelos (6:58) 8.

Moonlight Requiem (5:12) Album Length: 57:29 Album Credits: All music by Beriedir Artwork by Ludovico Cioffi Recorded by Stefano Nüsperli Mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio Lyrics by Stefano Nüsperli For more info: Rockshots.eu Facebook.com/BeriedirOfficial Instagram.com/ beriedirofficial About: Beriedir (from the Sindarin word for “Guardians”) is a progressive melancholic power metal act based in Bergamo, Italy. The five-member band was founded by Stefano Nüsperli and began its live career in 2015 with the release of “The Line”, their first demo. Their first full-length album “The Path Beyond the Moon” was unveiled in 2018, which launched them to perform on multiple musical events such as Fosch Fest (Italy) along with sharing the stage with bands such as Korpiklaani and Pathfinder. After the 2020 release of the EP “Lullabies Beyond the Moon”, which contained three tracks from their debut album rearranged in an acoustic key, they are now ready to launch their new album “AQVA” in 2022.

Listen to the interview segment on Spotify! Listen to the interview segment on iTunes! Listen to the interview segment on YouTube! Sacramento, California power metallers NIVIANE have released a final wrap-up report from the SOULFLY U.S. tour. Guitarist Gary Tarplee comments: On August 18, 2021, we departed Sacramento’s Rehearse America to embark on a 15 date onslaught of the Mid-West and East Coast with the legendary Soulfly. We are pretty well-known here in Northern California, but going out on tour with Soulfly into states that we’ve never been to, we were the “unknowns”. We kicked off the tour in Albuquerque, New Mexico and delivered our brand of metal to a venue filled with people to see Soulfly. People were curious as to who was this band “ Niviane ” that’s out on tour with Soulfly. We would take the stage, look into the crowd and most times see the look on peoples faces like “who are these guys“ and “what do they have to deliver“? Night after night within a couple of minutes of the opening song, The Ruthless Divine, the crowds facial expression would change, we could see people getting into the music, raising their fists in the air and chanting along when prompted. By the middle of our set, the crowds were pumped and into us. Night after night, we were just getting tighter and tighter. Playing to sold out venues in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Wichita, Kansas. Playing in Fort Wayne, Indiana to 1200 people on a Thursday night, sharing the stage with the Butcher Babies at a festival in West Virginia and playing in New York City at the Gramercy Theater were all incredible experiences. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have been able to take our brand of metal across the United States, meet new friends, make new fans and create memories that will last a lifetime! Niviane 's latest album “The Ruthless Divine”, released in 2020 was engineered by Zack Ohren of Castle Black Studios (known for producing albums for such bands as All Shall Perish & Machine Head among others), with artwork created by freelance illustrator Dusan Markovic.

New Promo - Infinite Exile - War Is Here - (Groove Metal) - @thebeast

Release Date: January 28th, 2022 FFO: Pantera, Machine Head, Parkway Drive Location: Perth, Australia Perth rising metal stars INFINITE EXILE kick off 2022 with a brand new song "WAR IS HERE" which was released last week. The new track is indicative of a heavier direction from their previous material, delving further into the bands unique sound, constantly evolving and never once following a trend. Check out the video! Streaming link: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/infiniteexile/war-is-here On the new video for “War Is Here”, the band states: “This video is us introducing ourselves to the world, our energy, our emotion, and our passion. We wanted to launch hard and make a statement with this new single, and we decided that the best way to convey how strongly we feel about the current situation around the world was to back the single up with a video that captures who we are. We teamed up with Joe from Dark Spirit Photography and fleshed out our vision for the clip, and he brought to life the rawness and anger that inspired this track. This is us in our truest form, and our message is clear. Wake up, war is here.” On the new song “War Is Here”, the band comments: “War Is Here is us at our fastest and most aggressive. 2022 is a new era for the band, we’ve never been more focused and determined, and we really wanted to come out of the gate swinging with a statement piece that encapsulates what a lot of us are feeling right now with the current political climate worldwide. There’s so much anxiety, confusion and division, and this song speaks about that, and we believe it succinctly portrays our thoughts and feelings on the subject”. Heavily inspired by 90s thrash and groove metal, the band draws inspiration from Pantera and Machine Head, blended with modern progressive elements and mixed in a way that gives the music a unique and timeless sound. Tight eclectic rhythm guitars, groovy intricate basslines, and explosive drumming, all combining to create the backdrop for aggressive and saturating vocals. Perth based Infinite Exile was formed in mid 2020, with three of the members having played together previously in Human Effigy, and Shannon Marston (Vocals) and Josh Fox (Bass) having played together in internationally touring bands for over a decade. After the dissolution of Human Effigy, Shannon, Josh, and Fabian Vacca (Guitars) decided to reaffirm what they wanted to create and settled on carving their own path through genres rather than trying to conform to what other bands were playing or writing music to fit within a certain genre. Enlisting drummer Kallum O’Regan, the band wrote and released two singles “Ruminate” and “Skin”. After debuting these tracks live, as well as some demo tracks, the band decided that their live show needed one more guitarist to round out their sound. After Sam Walker-Smith joined the band in early 2021, the lineup was completed, and the band had found their cohesive groove. “…a meaty slab of melodic but heavy riffs, beats and roaring vocals, a concoction of the members various influences resulting in something uniquely attention grabbing” – The Rockpit With the full lineup, Fabian started finalizing the new songs with input from the rest of the band, for what would become the EP The Path Of Most Resistance. The EP was mixed and mastered by Gareth Hargreaves in Brisbane, with the band working remotely to send him tracks. Artwork was designed by Fiaz Farrelly, with the EP cover being shot in the Catacombs of Paris. Infinite Exile is currently writing music for the follow-up to their debut EP The Path Of Most Resistance (released in 2021), with the intention of releasing singles later in the year off of a forthcoming LP.

Symfinity - Anthem - Featured At Music City Digital Media Network! - @thebeast

Symfinity - Anthem - Featured At Music City Digital Media Network ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.musiccitydigitalmedianetwork.com/ Release Date: March 2020 FFO: The Darkness, Nightwish, Jethro Tull Location: New York, USA "NYC’s Symfinity harnesses the power of a full symphony orchestra and combines it with metal edge and surprising pop-rock undertones to transport you elsewhere. Featuring Seann as front man, composer, and orchestrator. Doc on guitar, Crystal on piano, and Muzikal A. on varied wind instruments! Symfinity drives home dramatic anthems that move audiences with their emotional impact. This is symphonic metal as it’s never been done before. With the closest comparison perhaps being “Jethro Tull meets Nightwish”, or “The Moody Blues meets Kamelot”, Symfinity combines multiple genres in an innovative way that appeases a wide-reaching audience. Their songs satisfy the uncommon role of being both family-friendly and metal-friendly, and touch on relatable life topics that resonate personally with listeners. Symfinity is for everyone. It’s for the person who gave up playing an instrument after middle school and looks back fondly at playing it. It’s for the person looking for emotional musical riffs to get them through the school or work week. It’s for the gamer living in a world of fantasy. It’s for the orchestra nerd who has a dark side. It’s for the high schooler who is trying to figure out life and themself and needs feel-good anthems to hold onto for inspiration. It’s for the middle-aged person who laments never getting to have learned an instrument but was always enamored with the sound of a bombastic, minor-mode symphony played by a capable orchestra. It’s for the fan who derives meaningful substance from the intricate partnership of lyrics and chords as they jump along, triumphantly. It’s even for the unsuspecting onlookers who accidentally stumble upon the cacophony of sounds from instruments ringing out in harmony, who then linger to ogle this spectacle with unforeseen curiosity and wonder. Symfinity just released their new album, Anthem, in March 2020 – which showcases their new, heavier sound. Previous releases include their recently released singles, Flipside, Dynamite, Halfway, and Everything I Know Explodes – along with earlier, more rock ballad-styled albums Apocrypha and Intangible Dreams."

Often difficult, frequently nightmarish, this stuff easily ranks as one of Nordic lands' more challenging and oblique offerings. And for us, one of his most fascinating. With a mix of various Norse black metal traditions, atmospheric and mid-tempo practices, and a radical approach to traditional notions of extreme music in its truest sense, ‘Symphony of Flies’ is undoubtedly highly demanding of the listener. ...a dreamlike descent into the realm of death.

Vulture Lord/Black Altar – Deathiah Manifesto - Reviewed By Zware Metalen! - @thebeast

Vulture Lord/Black Altar – Deathiah Manifesto - Reviewed By Zware Metalen ! Check it out here at this link: https://zwaremetalen.com/albumrecensies/vulture-lord-black-altar-deathiah-manifesto Here they are again, the lords of Black Altar. Earlier I discussed a split album that the gentlemen released then with Kirkebrann. It was given the title Deus Inversus. The label, Odium Records from Poland, is also releasing the latest split of these gentlemen. This time the Norwegians of Vulture Lord,with members of Urgehal, Endezzma and Ulvehyrde,among others, were found willing to deliver four soul stirrings as well. Apparently one of the Vulture Lord songs still contains the vocals of Trondr Nefas. One of the founding members of Urgehal who sadly passed away in 2012. We immediately step into the mud and filth with our shoes and start with the four songs of Black Altar. However, the very menacing, fear-inducing intro slips into the song of the most recent clip, Sacrilegious Congregation. And a rotting, gore walm takes hold of you, after all, it is Shadow's acidic vocal cords that still produce them. The gentlemen have not booked anything in filth and gortheid and when you hear the howling wolf, you know that you are again good for a small collection of black-and-white music. Nyx,the next full-fledged song, is not inferior to its predecessor. Wonderfully filthy how here the vocals are interwoven between the music. The clattering bass also deserves its place here. Vulture Lord taps, also four songs, from a slightly different black metal vase. However, this brew is also very drinkable. Sour and far after expiration date so sounds the black metal of this Vulture Lord. Little or no empathy, compassion or some form of compassion. Cutting, razor-sharp solos whistle around your ears to start in Dominios Of Death. The whole thing gets a thrashy feeling. Also, Rak! The Hymns Of Death of Bloodstained Ritualknives are songs with an obvious thrash foundation about which comes a gortige black metal dressing. However, the speed of execution of this last song is quite high. Delicious, sickening split of two gortige black metal bands that seem to have found each other. More of that! It should also be mentioned that the intros and additional samples are by Ludo Lejeune. - Zware Metalen Release Date: January 15, 2022 FFO: Carpathian Forest, Marduk, KRIEGSGOTT Location: London, Norway ODIUM RECORDS presents the first single of BLACK ALTAR from the split with Norwegian black/thrash masters VULTURE LORD - “ Deathiah Manifesto ”. The song is called “ Sacrilegious Congregation ”! Check out the video! The split will be released in January as 11 panels Digi pack in the shape of inverted cross and as regular black and die-hard version in March. Split contains 8 songs, including intros done by Ludo “Evil” Lejeune. One song from Vulture Lord is still with the vocals recorded by Nefas. Musicians of Vader, Mork and Enshadowed has taken part in Black Altar part of the split. Cover art was done by Jenglot Hitam. Odium Records are proud to announce a new split release from two of the supreme forces in black metal, Vulture Lord and Black Altar , entitled Deathiah Manifesto . Featuring eight songs, including intros created by Ludo 'Evil' Lejeune , the album will be released on vinyl and Digi-pack CD this October . One of the Vulture Lord tracks features vocals recorded by the dearly departed Trondr Nefas , who left this world in 2012, while the Black Altar tracks feature performances from musicians known for their work with Vader , Mork and Enshadowed . The stunning cover artwork has been created by Jenglot Hitam ( Abigail, Impiety, Sabbat etc.) and the whole package is an unmissable expression of infernal hate!

Hurricane On Saturn - Dust Devils - Featured At Breathing The Core Magazine ! Check it out here at this link: http://www.breathingthecore.com/2022/01/interviews-hurricane-on-saturn.html Release Date: December 18th, 2021 FFO: Falling In Reverse, Deuce, Enter Shikari Location: Italy Mysterious Hurricane On Saturn has announced the arrival of a new single, titled Dust Devils! According to the band, the song is a "manifesto" and a "message for the gathering of all those outcasts who feel excluded by the rotted music business establishment". Hurricane On Saturn is the visionary project formed in 2019 by unknown masked musicians aiming to rework the classic American rapcore and nu metal sound with all the European heritage in melodic taste creating a new modern crossover style. The self-produced debut album “Killing Field'' mixed by Evan Rodaniche, described as a proposal out of any classification based on a unique use of electronics combined with rock, rap, metal and post-hardcore influences, was published in November 2020 receiving very good feedback from both critics and audiences still considering the impossibility to properly support the release with live performances due to the global pandemic. In 2021 the band continued teasing during all the year releasing three brand new singles titled “Outsider”, “Crumbs” with the participation of Hugo Ribeiro at the drums, and the latest one "Dust Devils" mixed at Studio Fredman with the Swedish metal legendary producer Fredrik Nordström.

Perceived - Perceived EP - Reviewed By Metal Digest! - @thebeast

Perceived - Perceived EP - Reviewed By Metal Digest ! Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2022/01/20/perceived-perceived-ep/ Dallas, Texas-based Perceived sure makes a lot of noise for only being three people. Their long-term friendship has translated into a tight-knit and highly engaging experience. Oh, and by the way, they RAWK! At first listen, they sound like a Metallica/Stained knock-off, but I am telling you now…put your nay-sayer hat up on the shelf. Their songs generally start with a dark and moody acoustic guitar. Perfect tension builders and arresting from the first note, their use of acoustics makes the band’s sound uniquely their own. Once hooked, the listener is treated to an onslaught of metallic fury. A controlled fury, mind you. Sometimes pummeling, sometimes crushing, always captivating. Standard song structures are injected with unpredictable smatterings of Tool-like Prog, traditional Metal, a wisp of Blues, and tons of all-out bone-crunching. Channeling a haunting fusion of Maynard Keenan and Aaron Lewis (Staind), Chris Bell’s vocal style may not be the most original, but it nestles in nicely with the band’s vibe. With scalpel precision and sledgehammer effect, these songs simultaneously kick ass and show off their virtuosity. A nice combo, quite honestly. There is a real sense of artistry and dedication in their sound. Perceived will conjure images of familiar artists, but there is also a lot going on between the musical lines. Definitely worth checking out; I promise you won’t play it just once. - Metal Digest Release Date: October 30th, 2020 FFO: Metallica, Tool, Staind Perceived is a three-piece rock band out of Dallas Texas. Formed in May of 2018, longtime friends of over 20 years, Chris Bell and Charlie McBride, decided to get together and work on some old songs as well as write new material with the help of their very good friend and bass player, Kevin Crawley. After a few rehearsals, it was very noticeable that things were just starting to click naturally between the three. After writing and working on material for over a year, Perceived played their first show in May of 2019 to a well-received crowd and has since performed with multiple local and national acts all around the DFW area. With so many different influences, their sound can't really be described by one genre. Their dynamic compositions range from melodic melodies to heavier breakdowns. Having just released their debut EP on Friday October 30th, Perceived is definitely a band to keep an eye (or ear) out for. Check out this video!

In Somnia - Harlequin - Featured At Breathing The Core Magazine ! Check it out here at this link: http://www.breathingthecore.com/2022/01/interviews-in-somnia.html Release Date: November 11, 2021 FFO: Omnium Gatherum, early In Flames, Agathodaimon Location: Austria Hailing from the mountains, ' In Somnia ' is a modern metal quartet, blending influences of all modern types of metal to create a unique, dark sound. While the lyrics are set in themes of traumata and philosophical thoughts, the instrumentation is catchy while complex. With assistance of movie score composer Christoph Manucredo, the band managed to combine brachial violence with a certain dark atmosphere intercepted by the groove- and -core metal influences of Dominic Granegger on the drums and djent influences of Florian Bacher on the bass. The two virtuoso guitar players Andreas Wibmer and Simon Andreas Brunner are shifting heart melting leads to pure rawness, while the vocals are tackling from whispers, screams, growls to clear. Listening to their music you can hear and feel an honest soul strip, the average experience of 16 years on their instruments, the thirst for new and change and it will leave you in a critical mental condition. We are the art; we are rolling with the Tauer wind! The other side of the coin: We found a way of self-cure in getting rid of all negativities in life by dropping it into our music. Most of the songs are based on true stories, true emotion and true pain. We are artists drawing pictures of our unique world into the air and into the hearts. Check them out on Spotify and add them to your playlists!

NECROMANTE set release date for new IRON BONEHEAD album, reveal first track - @thebeast

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces March 25th as the international release date for Necromante 's highly anticipated second album, XI , on CD and viny LP formats. Formed in 2007, Necromante patiently stirred their cauldron of sound over the course of a couple demos, a mini-album, and a live album. Hailing from Brazil, within that cauldron, of course, can be found ancient ingredients like Sarcofago, Vulcano, Sextrash, Mystifier, and Impurity, but the power-trio finesse forth a sound that's less focused on tempting the corners of chaos as it is conjuring an arcane, otherworldly aura - in that sense, not dissimilar to Impurity's classic Into the Ritual Chamber . However, in 2017, Necromante released their debut album, The Magickal Presence of Occult Forces , through the auspices of Iron Bonehead and undeniably etched a unique name for themselves. Not for nothing was it titled The Magickal Presence of Occult Forces : raw and red-blooded yet utterly clear in its execution, the album swirled together martial blasts of bestial drums, sorcerous heavy metal leads, contrapuntal bass-work, and frequent interludes of eerie acoustics. After nearly five years of eerie silence (a super-limited live tape was released after the debut album), Necromante return with their second full-length, XI . Immediately, it is felt: XI continues on from that celebrated first full-length AND spelunks in new dungeons altogether. For one, Necromante 's instrumental prowess has tightened whilst remaining requisitely loose; this allows their ever-deepening grasp of dynamics to penetrate the soul as well as boil the tension to an intense degree during the album's many hypnotic mid-tempo passages. To that, this subtly doomier aspect nods to ancient touchstones like classic Mortuary Drape, early Samael, and even touches of old deathrock; even with frequent yet well-timed bouts of violence, the aura of XI is funereal and more than a bit eerie. More than anything, Necromante have perfected their sound within clearly marked boundaries, but more importantly have brewed potions of strong songwriting that work magickally within those boundaries. In turn, the vision of XI appears boundless and brilliant - ancient, epic, and literally UNDERGROUND! Erase the last 30 years of "underground" black metal and one might hypothetically find Necromante , working within a labyrinth of their own design, unmindful of the suffocating modernity around them. The arcane age bears the number XI ! The first number can be witnessed with the brand-new title track "XI (The Dark Night of the Soul)" HERE at Iron Bonehead 's Soundcloud. Cover and tracklisting are as follows: Tracklisting for Necromante's XI 1. The Equinox of New Aeon 2. Lucifer Rising 3. Serpentine Fire 4. The Phoenix Glory 5. XI (The Dark Night of the Soul) 6. Pentacle of Fire 7. Necro Fire Angel 8. Sentence of the Dead 9. The Infernal Palace & the Red Death 10. The Venom Between Gods 11. Solve et Coagula-Astral Light to the Chaos MORE INFO: www.facebook.com/templodonecromante www.facebook.com/IronBoneheadProductions

Rockshots Records: Finnish Rockers SERPICO Drops Power Ballad "Dark Energy" Off Forthcoming Album "The Chosen Four" Out Summer 2022 - @thebeast

Finnish sleazy rockers Serpico are unveiling the power ballad "Dark Energy" , which will be featured on their forthcoming album "The Chosen Four" due out summer 2022 via Rockshots Records . The album is produced by platinum-selling Finnish record producer Anssi Kippo (Children of Bodom, Hanna Pakarinen, Teräsbetoni) who had this to add about the track. "From the very first demo version, this song stood out by having something magical! Usually, with a song like this, you'd stack a huge wall of guitars, record dozens of backing vocals and at least as many keyboards. On Dark Energy, we took a completely opposite approach and ended up having a wall of just two rhythm guitars, only one keyboard and a single vocal track. With a song of this magnitude, any additional tracks would simply have decreased its magic." The music video for "Dark Energy" was directed by Ville Juurikkala and brings the band into a whole new light. Enthusiasm for Serpico 's music paved the way for the collaboration with Juurikkala who is best known for his works with Slash, Steven Tyler, HIM, Michael Monroe, 69Eyes, Apocalyptica, Nightwish and many more. "Serpico has some great authentic and rough rock’n’roll both as human beings and in music. I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to work with them!" adds Juurikkala. "Dark Energy" can be watched and hard at the following links: Music Video - Digital Stream - https://bfan.link/dark-energy Since Serpico ‘s inception in 2005, they have released two full-lengths “Rose Tattoo” (2018), ‘Shallow Mistress” (2014), and an EP “Bad Commercial” (2011) along with touring all over Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, and England. The band is genuine and unique Rock n’ Roll with big respect for the classic titans. For more info: Rockshots.eu Serpicoband.com Facebook.com/serpicoroxx
