Germany's NOCTURNAL premiere new track at NoCleanSinging.com - @thebeast

Today, German thrash institution  Nocturnal  premiere the new track   "Void Dweller"   at heavily trafficked web-portal   NoCleanSinging.com . The track is   the third to be revealed   from the band's long-awaited fourth album,   Serpent Death , set for international release on August 27th via  Dying Victims Productions . H ear  Nocturnal 's "Void Dweller" in its entirety exclusively  HERE . A veritable institution,   Nocturnal  have been flying the flag of hate and inciting a riot of violence since the year 2000. Helmed by founding guitarist Avenger (whose other credits are far too vast to list here),   Nocturnal  set about their prolific course with a flurry of demo tapes and splits with the likes of Nunslaughter, Vomitor, Bestial Mockery, and Toxic Holocaust among others, all culminating in their momentous   Arrival of the Carnivore   debut album in 2005. Back then, hailing the old Teutonic gods of thrash – namely the “Big Three” of Sodom, Kreator, and Destruction, but not withstanding Deathrow, Assassin, Exumer, Darkness, Violent Force, and Necronomicon as well as Razor and early Sepultura abroad  – was rather unfashionable, but it was   Nocturnal  who had the last laugh, as the second worldwide thrash resurgence was about to begin, and there they stood, undaunted and defiant. Thereafter,   Nocturnal  continued to honor the old underground ways with another flurry splits and vinyl EPs, before second LP   Violent Revenge   arrived in 2009. Thus far,   Nocturnal ’s albums were more finely honed and better-produced expressions of those prolific UG releases, and they kept apace with that schematic through the release of their third LP,   Storming Evil , in 2014. By then, lineup troubles had begun to plague the band and slow their momentum, and thereafter was all quiet on the Western front. But at long last, the ultimate revenge arrives with   Serpent Death ! As aptly titled as any   Nocturnal  full-length so far,   Serpent Death   slithers and strikes with a venomous menace. Arguably the band’s best-produced as well as best-played record to date,   Serpent Death   loses not an ounce of power and poignancy; if anything,   Nocturnal  sound more energetic than ever, revitalized and ripping and defying their seemingly advanced age. Whereas the preceding   Storming Evil   perhaps leaned too much on the cleaner side of things,   Serpent Death   is robustly analog, flexing both muscle and clarity, all while remaining steadfastly analog. Further, there’s more (but subtle) twists in the songwriting and dynamics, evincing an ageless metal wisdom whilst not sacrificing any urgency in the process. Avenger, as always, is an absolute riff-machine, firing off memorable lines right and left, but he’s more-than-ably backed up by a blood-red-vital rhythm section in bassist Incinerator and drummer John Berry. New vocalist Invoker has a rougher and more hollering voice, perfectly suited for these classic metal-inclined tunes. So, less “sharp” pure thrash and more “warmer” traditional metal: it’s a trade-off that pays in spades on   Serpent Death . Timeless, eternal, both behind the times and ahead of ‘em – there’s few bands with a body of work quite like   Nocturnal . Even if it’s another five-plus years between albums,   Serpent Death   handily satisfies with a sound that’s so old, it’s new!

Also see (and hear) the previously revealed video for "Bleeding Heaven" exclusively  HERE , courtesy of  Rock Hard  magazine, as well as the previously revealed  "Damnator's Hand" exclusively  HERE , courtesy of  Deaf Forever  magazine.  Cover and tracklisting are as follows: Tracklisting for Nocturnal (Germany)'s Serpent Death 1.

Jim Matheos' Tuesday The Sky launches video for new single, "The Blurred Horizon" - @thebeast

On September 3rd,   Tuesday The Sky   will release their new album,   The Blurred Horizon , via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of the record, a new video for the title track can be viewed at:   The previously released single, "Hypneurotic", can be heard at:   metalblade.com/tuesdaythesky , where   The Blurred Horizon   can also be pre-ordered in the following formats: - digipak-CD - 180g black vinyl (EU exclusive) - orange / red marbled vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 300 copies) - orange w/ black dust vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 200 copies) - turquoise marbled vinyl (US exclusive) - clear w/ green & white splatter vinyl (US exclusive) Tuesday The Sky 's origins could almost be considered accidental. Guitarist Jim Matheos, famed for his work with progressive metal giants  Fates Warning  alongside projects such as  OSI  and his collaboration with John Arch,  Arch/Matheos , penned a few songs that did not fit in with any of his established outlets, and intrigued by this, decided to write more and see where this took him. The result was 2017's  Drift , a record that drew influence from the likes of  Brian Eno, Sigur Ros, Boards Of Canada  and  Explosions In The Sky , and now he returns with its successor,  The Blurred Horizon . A mixture of ambient, electronica, post-rock and more,  The Blurred Horizon  is perhaps best described as a  beautiful  record, having a natural grace to it. While predominantly the work of Matheos, he is not the sole performer on the record, enlisting the help of other musicians where necessary.  "It's primarily a solo project, but with the idea of having different guests on each record to help fill it out and, hopefully, give each one a slightly different sound. With the first record, there was   Anna Lynne Williams   on vocals for a couple of songs, and Lloyd Hanney of   God Is An Astronaut   on drums. For this one, the live drums on five tracks were handled by Gavin Harrison of   The Pineapple Thief, King Crimson , and   Porcupine Tree . He's my absolute favorite drummer, so he was the first person I thought of when I decided that some of the songs could benefit from real drums. I originally was thinking of just one or two songs, but once I heard how good he made them sound, I kept asking him do more, which, thankfully, he agreed to. His playing added a whole new dimension to the songs, particularly on 'Hypneurotic', where he plays two different full drum kit takes, panned left and right, to achieve a kind of 'double drummer' effect." "Everything Is Free" - the closing track and only one on the record to include vocals - is a cover of a  Gillian Welch  and  David Rawlings  song from 2001.  " Fates Warning   were thinking about doing some cover tunes as bonus tracks for   'Long Day Good Night'   (2020), and when that didn't happen, I kept this one in mind for a future project. It seemed to fit nicely here, even though it's an otherwise instrumental album, and the vocals are by Tim Bowness. Like Gavin, Tim is someone I've worked with in the past, with   OSI   and several other projects. He's got a beautiful voice and his gentle delivery is just what I wanted for this one." The Blurred Horizon   track-listing 1. Half Remembered 2. Near Light 3. Cwmwl 4. Where the Enemy Sleeps 5. Laudanum Dream 6. Hypneurotic 7. Later, Then Now 8. Near Dark 9. Half Forgotten 10. The Blurred Horizon 11. Everything Is Free Tuesday The Sky online: http://tuesdaythesky.com/

Boozewa stream new EP via Doomed & Stoned - @thebeast

Boozewa (Featuring members of Backwoods Payback) are streaming their new EP "Deb" via Doomed and Stoned. The EP  was mastered by Tad Doyle of the legendary band TAD at Witch Ape Studio in Seattle Washington and is set to be released on 7" vinyl this Friday. Listen: https://doomedandstoned.com/post/658602814314037248/boozewa   The EP follows the debut demo ‘First Contact’ which released in February of 2021 and sold out on tape in a month, spawning two more limited pressings of it. Bringing a distinctive sound, Boozewa draws passionately from the heaviest of the heavy through to the mellowest of the mellow. Emphasised by their unusual recording method, the vintage touch produces a unique tone with a dynamic, atmospheric quality. Dark, gloomy sounds are encountered in the opening track ‘Deb’ with heavily distorted guitars creating an aptly ambient level of noise. Combined with a slow tempo and soaring vocal harmonies it’s a startling contradiction. The B-side ‘Now Stop’ delves brings rhythmic, traditional heavy metal inspired instrumentation and edgier vocals.  For a project formed in the summer of 2020 by three musicians stuck locked down, in a house, with nothing else to do, Boozewa is an agent of creativity and innovation from composition to production. Versatile and progressive, ‘Deb’ is an experience for the senses that is not to be missed.      Line-Up - Jessica Baker / bass, hollering - Rylan Caspar / guitar, hollering - Mike Cummings (mRc) / drums, hollering   Socials:  Bandcamp: http://boozewa.bandcamp.com  Website: http://www.boozewa.com  Instagram: http://Instagram.com/boozewa
