New Promo: Arcanum Sanctum - “Ad Astra” - (Melodic Death Metal) - @thebeast

Russian melodic death metal band with Soviet sci-fi movie soundtrack approach. After two well-received albums of catchy uptempo melodic thrash-death metal with traditional harsh vocals the band decides to step aside from the beaten path and explore new grounds.This exploration turns into a breathtaking journey through space and time. The band finds its inexhaustible source of inspiration in the past. It's not a secret that things we encounter as kids leave the deepest traces in our souls. By a twist of fate all members of ARCANUM SANCTUM were born at the end of a so-called Golden Age of Space exploration and caught its echoes in a form of sci-fi books, movies, cartoons and associated soundtracks popular in their childhood. Still exciting and inspiring for the band, this theme determines the new direction its music takes on the new album. For fans of Dark Tranquility, Amorphis, Grace Disgraced Formed back in 2004 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (the Far East of Russia) as a brainchild of Vadim Nalivaiko , ARCANUM SANCTUM have remained the adepts of melodic death metal throughout the years. With the debut recorded using a trial-and-error method in their home studio due to the absence of any more or less professional recording studios in the city the guys reach satisfactory level of quality. Actually, “ Fidus Achates ” – the debut album of ARCANUM SANCTUM finished in January of 2009 – is the most proficient metal record made in their region back then. On this almost completely Russian-language album (except for one song – “ Shadowed ”) released by MORE HATE PROD . in 2010 and warmly welcomed by fans and the press (Surprise of the month at www.metalreviews.com in August of 2010) the band takes traditional melodic death metal to heart and combines this sound with elements of technical thrash metal and contrasting deep melodic instrumentals – as stated by the press the dynamic switch between aggressive melodic death metal and both acoustic and keyboard instrumentals is this album’s most captivating aspect. Having no stable line-up yet inspired by warm reception of the debut, Vadim decides to focus on composing the new songs for the follow-up album. " Veritas Odium Parit " is released in December of 2012 by BUIL2KILL RECORDS under the auspices of the legends of technical death metal – SADIST (Italy). The album gets positive reviews worldwide. According to the musical critics, “ Veritas Odium Parit ” raises the band to a new level and proves its versatility and maturity – the songs are very melodic, complex and found the converging point of aggression and technique with progressive touch. Enthusiastic about the band’s progress, new members come on board even despite the 1150km distance between their hometown and the base-city of the band – as is the case with Nikolay Kondratyev (drums, FALLCIE , ex- DEHYDRATED ). With the new line-up ARCANUM SANCTUM participate in MADE IN KOREA metal festival ( Seoul, Republic of Korea ). Soon after the band gets in touch with Mort prod. (China) and schedules a China tour for May- June of 2015. Along with playing shows in the Far Eastern region and preparing for the tour, Vadim develops a totally new album concept with a challenging approach to composing. After the China tour the musicians decide to focus on new material occasionally playing some local shows. The new album is dedicated to the Soviet science fiction with lyrics based on the works of the Soviet sci-fi writers and the music significantly influenced by the Soviet sci-fi movie soundtracks and such bands with progressive and non-trivial approach, like AMORPHIS and DARK TRANQUILLITY . The English language of the lyrics opens the worlds created behind the "Iron Curtain" to those who is not familiar with the Soviet school of sci-fi devoid of shopworn alien invaders and apocalyptic prophecies, while the deep and majestic growls and confident clean singing of the new vocalist Ivan Beschastny embody spiritual and physical strength of the men of future. After a long, both physically and mentally demanding process of composing and recording the album is mixed and mastered at Unisound AB by the famous Dan Swanö . The CD titled “ Ad Astra ” is self-released by ARCANUM SANCTUM in summer of 2020. Album art and track listing below! 1. Wanderers in Space 01:36  2. The Quest 04:39  3. Pack Rat 04:28  4.

A BROKEN SILENCE REVEALS VIDEO FOR THE BRAND NEW INSPIRING ACOUSTIC SINGLE "LIGHT UP THE WORLD"! - @thebeast

Following on from the successful release of the beautifully crafted and presented “At The End Of The Day”, alternative rock duo A Broken Silence continues on the path to the upcoming release of the group's acoustic album by presenting the second single off the said material - "Light Up The World"! Once again transcribing the formation's unique characteristics and distinguishable features into a completely new, acoustic setting, "Light Up The World" showcases the ability of emotionally-driven rap verses and melodic vocal passages to still contain their intended energy and atmosphere, even when they are being presented through different composition approaches and methods, as this established tendency only further emphasizes the undeniable potential of A Broken Silence's "Unplugged" initiative. Explaining the creative approach utilized in the creation of "Light Up The World", A Broken Silence shares: "This song is about re-writing history, playing the victim, virtue signalling and fighting a war that’s been created through fake bias media. It discussed the other half, the ones who will not be pushed around by "cancel culture", the need to "virtue signal" or any of the far-left madness that is being presented as the new normal." TRACKLIST: 1. “At The End Of The Day” 2. "All For What" 3. "Wake Up" 4. "Hope" 5. "Are You Not Entertained" 6. "Soul" 7. "Daydreams" 8. "So We March To The Stars" 9. "Boom" 10. "Light Up The World"

Freaks and Clowns - Justice Elite (Official Video) - @thebeast

With "Justice Elite" FREAKS AND CLOWNS present the title track from their second studio album (Metalville / Rough Trade - Release 16.10.) Here is the link to the official video, which you are welcome to share and post. Classical Hard Rock meets modern Power Metal. The band, formed by "Astral Doors" founding member Johan Lindstedt and the singer Chrille Wahlgren, who is popular in his home country Sweden, is fully committed to honest, straightforward heavy metal. It all began in 2017, when the two met in the studio in their home town of Borlänge to exchange a few song ideas. It quickly became clear that the influences of classic heavy metal combined with modern sounds would be the path they wanted to take together in the future. In addition to Mathias Henrysson, two more musicians from the Swedish metal institution "Astral Doors", Mats Gesar and Ulf Lagerström, could be won as band members. After the impressive, self-titled debut album in October 2019, the band soon set about putting the still abundant ideas for new songs into practice. The 12 tracks on the successor "Justice Elite", which will be released on 16.10., are once again not taking prisoners but are pushing forward at full speed from the very first moment.

French Death Metal Act, SKELETHAL, Unleashes Album Details & Blistering, New Music Video! - @thebeast

"Unveiling The Threshold" coming November 20th on Hells Headbangers!   Following their highly acclaimed 2017- debut, "Of The Depths…", November 20 th  will see French death metal act, SKELETHAL, release their hotly anticipated, sophomore album titled "Unveiling The Threshold" via Hells Headbangers! Eight years since the band's inception, a line-up change, various splits, demos and the impressively brutal first full-length to date, SKELETHAL, who are featuring members of SCHIZOPHRENIA, MORTAL SCEPTER and ex-INFINITE TRANSLATION, return to the scene stronger than ever: "Unveiling The Threshold" strikes back with not only classic death metal but its Swedish late 80’s/early 90’s counterpart, when the subgenre was still in its infancy yet still did reek of that unmistakable stench, away from modern trickery and trends. SKELETHAL’s forthcoming album succeeds in both staying true to the sound’s historical roots, with its raw blend you could also easily find yourself in an unreleased HETSHEADS or CARNAGE demo – while going beyond the simple and now too-limited SweDeath tag. "Unveiling The Threshold" grabs you by the throat before circling its listener like a vulture. The band may still tread on the left hand path but besides resurrecting a certain idea of the underground – some may say ‘true’ – that seemingly disappeared back in 1991, it’s actually how genuinely evil and undiluted their death metal is that’s most striking about "Unveiling The Threshold".  To keep it raw, authentic and high-voltage, SKELETHAL recorded the 8 fast-paced tracks by themselves in their rehearsal room in Tourcoing nearby Lille in France, before handing the result over to Greg Wilkinson from the now (in)famous Earhammer studios (NECROT, UNDERGANG, ACEPHALIX etc.) for the mix last June. Today, the four-piece is presenting us the album opening track with a crushing, elaborate music video! Watch the clip for "Sidereal Lifespan" here:       "We are very thrilled to present our second full length ‘Unveiling the Threshold’ which holds the most brutal and into-your-face material composed by Skelethal to this day."  The band comments. "On this second album we were able to develop our death metal in a more efficient way, incorporating a second soloist, faster relentless drums and allowing the songs to reach the ferocious grounds of early grindcore while still in the realm of Swedish death metal. Overall, the song writing process has been more personal and included a greater number of influences. Actual OSDM thrives worldwide with a very unique sound behind which we can often find Greg Wilkinson from Earhammer Studios (Undergang, Necrot, Mortuous…). This is the reason why we wanted Skelethal to collaborate with him for the mixing and mastering of the album. This, in addition to a new recording process and a still fresh line-up, enabled us to achieve the heaviest sound we ever had: deep vocals, chainsaw-buzzing guitarzz, a crushing bass and an explosive snaredrum. The production might be cleaner than our previous releases, but still has its important share of filth and aggressiveness that defines Death Metal to its core. Finally, we asked the talented Eliran Kantor to bring ‘Unveiling the Threshold’ to life throughout his very singular and remarkable painting. The final result fits perfectly the identity of the band and the album, where monoliths rise from the sea and portals open up to a tormented sky." Album Tracklist: 01. Sidereal Lifespan 02. Antropomorphia 03. Emerging from the Ethereal Threshold 04. Repulsive Recollections 05. Cave Dwellers 06. On Somber Soil 07. Adorned with the Black Vertebra 8. Abyssal Church... The Portal Revealed "Unveiling The Threshold" is slated for a release on November 20 th  2020 with Hells Headbangers and will be available as LP, Tape, CD and in Digital formats. The album pre-sale has just started at  THIS LOCATION!  US pre-orders are available  HERE!

AFFLICTION VECTOR: Italian black-death metallers featuring current and former members of Grime and The Secret premiere new song "Abandoned Into Madness" - @thebeast

Today, Italian chaos mongers   AFFLICTION VECTOR   are premiering the new song   "Abandoned Into Madness"   at   Grizzly Butts . Get obliterated   HERE ! The band will release the   "Death Comes Supreme"   debut EP on   25th September 2020  via   Argento Records . AFFLICTION VECTOR   has been conceived as an introspective exploration by   Ans   in 2018. After the dissolution of   Ooze   and his separation from   Grime , the artist decided to embrace a solitary journey through his own inner demons, choosing isolation and his dissolving mental health as a fuel for his creative flame. In 2019 drummer   Christian Musich   ( The Secret ,   Grime ) joined the project, projecting his primordial percussive ferocity into the compositions and solidifying the line up. Inspired by masters like Mayhem, Bolt Thrower and Teitanblood,   AFFLICTION VECTOR   regurgitates its influences into a completely new, unique, self-devouring Death and Black Metal magma that annihilates every boundary between nightmare and reality. “Death Comes Supreme”   is a spirit-possessed descent into suffering without any expectation of catharsis or cleansing. It’s the sound of an artist abandoning his mind into his own inner chaos, a realm dominated by demons. "Death Comes Supreme"   will be unleashed upon mankind via   Argento Records   on   25th September 2020 . The album's first single,   "Voiceless Prediction" , is now streaming at   THIS LOCATION .
