IMMOLATION è un nome da trent’anni sinonimo di musica estrema. La band offre un death metal oscuro, unico e creativo. Con la pubblicazione di “Atonement” lo scorso anno, gli IMMOLATION hanno dimostrato ancora una volta di essere un gruppo che non si guarda indietro, spingendo oltre i propri limiti e rimanendo una forza attiva per il futuro del genere che essi stessi hanno aiutato a definire.
La band di New York ha appena pubblicato il video di ‘When The Jackals Come’, canzone tratta dall’ultimo album “Atonement”. La regia del video è opera del chitarrista Robert Vigna.
La band ha commentato:
“Siamo entusiasti di presentare ai fan il nostro nuovo video! È una delle nostre canzoni preferite di ‘Atonement’. È molto oscura, quindi abbiamo cercato di realizzare un video che rappresentasse al meglio l’atmosfera. Speriamo che vi piaccia! ‘Their war is already won … your world will end, when the jackals come'”.
“Atonement” è stato registrato ai Millbrook Sound Studios di Millbrook, NY con il produttore Paul Orofino, e mixato e masterizzato da Zack Ohren (ALL SHALL PERISH, DECREPIT BIRTH, SUFFOCATION). La copertina è stata realizzata da Pär Olofsson (IMMORTAL, THE FACELESS, EXODUS, ABYSMAL DAWN), con disegni aggiuntivi di Zbigniew Bielak (GHOST, ENSLAVED, PARADISE LOST, WATAIN).

DORO apre di nuovo il suo tesoro e pubblica ‘Lift Me Up’, il secondo singolo del suo attesissimo nuovo album “Forever Warriors, Forever United”, in uscita il 17 agosto su Nuclear Blast.
“‘Lift Me Up’ è una delle mie canzoni preferite”, svela DORO. “Ha un sacco di energia e cresce costantemente. Amo molto anche la sua melodia orecchiabile e il testo”.
Il grandioso inno ‘All For Metal’ è seguito dall’altra hit, ‘Lift Me Up’, che non fa che accrescere l’attesa per il nuovo lavoro di DORO! “Forever Warriors, Forever United” è killer innanzitutto perché DORO offre ben due dischi al mondo (metal)!
“Forever Warriors, Forever United” è killer poi anche perché ha un sacco di ospiti: da Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE, DIO, THE DEAD DAISIES) a Mille (KREATOR) passando per SABATON ecc., che pagano tributo alla regina del metal sul suo ventesimo album.
Il video di ‘All For Metal’ vede la partecipazione di Mille (KREATOR), Johan Hegg (AMON AMARTH), Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT), Warrel Dane (R.I.P.), Jeff Waters (ANNIHILATOR), SABATON, Ross The Boss, Rock‘n‘Rolf (RUNNING WILD), DETRAKTOR, Tommy Bolan (ex WARLOCK), Andy Brings e The Ultimate Doro Clan: https://youtu.be/9kLxaI7ac14
Doro commenta: “La canzone ‘All For Metal’ è un inno come ‘All We Are’ con alcuni grandi ospiti alla voce, miei grandi amici. È una canzone dal vivo straordinaria e spero che vi piaccia perché è una delle mie preferite!”.
Il singolo uscirà anche in vinile 7” di diversi colori (black, picture, silver, gold), oltre che in digitale (http://nblast.de/DoroAllForMetal).

I MUNICIPAL WASTE di Richmond, Virginia, hanno pubblicato il loro sesto album “Slime And Punishment” un anno fa su Nuclear Blast. A supporto dell’uscita, la band sta per imbarcarsi per un tour di 20 date tra club e festival, attraverso nove paesi europei. Per celebrare l’occasione, i ragazzi hanno lanciato su YouTube un nuovo video della title track dell’album ‘Slime And Punishment’. Guardalo qui:
“Fare squadra con Norman Cabrera per questo video è stata un unione horror. I suoi 35 anni di esperienza negli effetti speciali cinematografici traspaiono come potrete vedere in questo ultimo clip dei WASTE. Norman non è solo un fan dei mostri, ma un metallaro come noi, siamo quindi andati subito d’accordo sull’estetica di tutto. Inizialmente ci ha contattati per preparare una maschera per i MUNICIPAL WASTE, la sua specialità da ormai molti anni. Io gli ho chiesto: perchè non fare qualcosa di meglio e creare un bel video?! Lui ha colto subito questa opportunità ed è diventato addirittura il regista, oltre a effect designer, ideando diverse maschere e creando il mondo horror di ‘Slime And Punishment’. Siamo tutti cresciuti con le VHS e questo ha giocato un ruolo d’ispirazione fondamentale per il video. E’ stato come fare un film, ci si sono innumerevoli persone da ringraziare in primis Slasher Dave per aver composto l’intro e Joel Grind per l’outro con in synth, che ha dato una fine perfetta a questo incubo.” – Ryan Waste

Lead vocalist Loris Castiglia comments, ‘I thought a lot about the visual part of the song while I was working on the lyrics. We felt like it would fit perfectly with the music. Considering that the song doesn’t follow a classic structure but is constantly changing and evolving I decided to divide the whole theme in three parts: decomposition of the human body, merging with nature, rebirth in the form of a tree.
The concept is summed up in the lines “Matter can’t be created / Matter can’t be destroyed” that lead to an emotional and peaceful conclusion in which the sensation of being all part of something bigger is palpable and relieving, especially during the lines “Mother cries and it rains upon your leaves / They’re tears of joy / For winter always turns to spring”.’
Operation Misdirection is the last chapter of a trilogy the band started five years ago with their debut album, ‘Privilege To Overcome’ in 2013. Tours across Europe caught the attention of Candlelight Records and they went on to release their 2nd album ‘Deflect The Flow’ in 2015, a record which saw them take their brand of extreme thrash to the next level and opened them up to a whole new heavy metal fanbase worldwide.
Over the past few years Ultra-Violence have played shows and festivals across the world supporting bands like Discharge, Angelus Apatrida, Tokyo Blade and Rotting Christ, leading to a number of shows in Japan with Skull Fist. They show no signs of stopping and will embark on a European tour to support the release of ‘Operation Misdirection’ starting with the following dates:

French post-black metallers DECLINE OF THE I premiere a new track “Enslaved By Existence” in the form of a lyric video. The track comes from the band’s third studio album “Escape”, due out on the 27th of July via Agonia Records. Listen to the song here:
“Escape” will feature six varied, original compositions replete with artwork from David Fitt, who filmed the new video.
The band commented: “After a heavy and neurasthenic first chapter, and an epileptic, dirty and violent second one, here’s the last part of the Decline of the I’s trilogy: Escape. It’s now time to leave, to avoid this perpetual aggression of the outside world. All the other reactions leaded to a dead end. Running away is the only possible move for the subject to preserve its entity. There are many forms of escape: madness, suicide, technology, spirituality. This third album explores all of them. Musically, it’s the synthesis of all the previews works; it’s contemplative and slow but also very fast, dark and brutal”.
“Escape” was recorded, mixed and mastered at Blacksun Recording by Junior Rodriguez. The album will be available in CD, LP and digital formats.
Tracklist:
1. Disruption
2. Enslaved by existence
3. Organless body
4. Hurlements en faveur de FKM
5. Negentropy (Fertility sovereign)
6. Je pense donc je fuis

DECLINE OF THE I is his personal approach on dark music, in which he’s accompanied by musicians of Merrimack, Anus Mundi, Temple of Baal, Eibon and Drowning fame.
Line-up:
A: guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, programming, vocals

GREYSTONE CANYON is for fans of classic metal and is an album devoted to the band’s love for old western cowboy films and the images these films conjure, the vast plains, endless horizons and the freedom of the Wild West.
Here’s what some of the media outlets are saying:
“Greystone Canyon’s debut is a solid listening experience that should appeal to both fans of Western rock/heavy metal and classic hard rock/heavy metal.” – Heavy Metal Time Machine
“This album is full of hard-rocking guitar riffs, soulful acoustic guitar, catchy drumming and vocals that are every bit the classic metal you’d expect them to be; all of this is arranged in a way that’s satisfying to the ear.” – Overdrive Mag
“a brilliant album! Very good pieces, a beautiful atmosphere wrap the listener.Give a chance to this band, it will doesn’t disappoint you with their class, good work guys!” – Rockers and Other Animals Mag
“Inspired by classic HR legends, “While The Wheels Still Turn” is an album that could not only sit well beside the works of those; they’re able to be so various and with a view to the futiue. With a duration of 33 min, we can find six songs and three interludes; this album won’t disappoint you!” – Hard Rock Heavy Metal Mag
“Greystone Canyon has arrived with their debut album, While the Wheels Still Turn, and it is a beauty. A flawless homage to the bands which preceded them and inspired them, this glorious collection of kick ass tracks just teases the senses and reels you in track by track. Mammoth hooks fused with technical brilliance and that old school charm just work so goddamn well, perfectly executed and tasty like momma’s home cooking.” – Rock n’ Load Mag
“The western rock vibe that gets While the Wheels Still Turn started sees the up-tempo Astral Plane grab the attention before In These Shoes delivers head-banging groove. The latter’s deep bassy sound is thrilling.” – Games Brrraaains * A Headbanging Life
“The guitar work on this album is fantastic. But it is the harmonies that catch my attention. “Path We Stray” has some really cool vocal harmony work that echos the dissonance used in old school Ozzy tracks. My favorite track on the album, entitled “River of Fire”, has some solid harmony in a slower song that has a really cool build to a heavy ending.” – The Spinning Thoughts
“While The Wheel Still Turn is a strong debut for Greystone Canyon, a fine and entertaining album classic melodic heavy metal with some interesting twists. Recommended.” – Danger Dog Music Reviews

“Did anyone order a soul crushing, female fronted metal band?” – Idobi Radio
“While there’s a distinct modern metal feel to Meka Nism, the key to what makes their sound more unique and engaging is the pool of influences that they draw from…they have managed to find their own style within it – one that you will have a hard time forgetting once you hear it. A band that could easily find themselves on the rise as word starts to get around.” – Dead Rhetoric
“What would happen when you lock Arch Enemy and Lacuna Coil in the same room and force them to record an album? Well, you’d probably get something like Florida residents Meka Nism.” – Merchants of Air
“They experiment with melodies, dipping their toes in and out of a pool of sounds and influences. Then, they combine these creative expressions with the most important element of their music: the message. Meka Nism doesn’t just deliver thrashing tunes; it seeks to deliver listeners from their own wars inside. ” – Shockwave Mag
“A little bit of keyboard, a thumping drum beat followed by roaring riffs leads into the blazing hot title track. A track that mixes modern metal with operatic style scope. That element comes from the incredible range on singer Ms. Meka. She can go from huge soaring melodies to heavier shouts and screams in an instant. Incredible.” – Games, Brains & A Head-Banging Life
“It’s honest, heavy and packed full of some of the most amazing elements of metal music infused with some of the most versatile, controlled and distinct vocals in metal music today.” – Yesterdaze News
“Meka Nism is a band to watch. ” – Sonic Cathedral
“Lead singer Ms. Meka is intriguing and quite compelling, both visually and with her vocal range, and the guys in her band provide the perfect vehicle for the artistic vision that they’ve managed to create together.” – I’m Music Magazine
“Full of energy, this band never fails to strike a chord with everyone sharing the stage from the audience. Meka’s vocals are the antithesis of the ever-present smile on her face that lights up the room. This lovely woman genuinely smiles with her eyes. The entire band is simply memorizing. Meka Nism is one of those bands that must be seen live. Don’t hesitate to meet them either. All of them are engaging, genuine and make you feel like the rock star! ” – Metal Nexus
“Orlando’s metal/operatic band, MekaNism performed songs which included “From Out of Nowhere” and “Mekamorphosis,” which got the crowd hyped for their set. Ms. Meka, with her melodious sound and great enthusiasm, was so engaged and energized throughout the performance. The rest of the band was bursting with the same energy and truly put on a memorable show.” – (Live Review) Monkey Goose Magazine

PSYCHOTIC SYMPHONY has racked up some fantastic reviews:
“Fuck the term ‘supergroup’, that’s not what this is about. Sons of Apollo are simply a group that are super.” – Classic Rock
“Psychotic Symphony is fierce, loud, bewildering, brilliantly performed and monstrously entertaining.” – Prog Magazine
“God-like in conception, stellar in ambition and perfection in delivery.” – Metal Talk
“Combustioni” is a daunting, full on apocalyptic industrial, auditory excursion, complete with crushingly ominous brass chords, fearsome horn proclamations, organ, and doom filled atmospherics. Contributions of murderous, gnarled vocals courtesy of Nordvargr ( Mz.412, Folkstorm) and Luca Soi (Void of Silence, Visthia), as well as caustic noise from Italian heavy electronic practitioners Naxal Protocol (ex-Cazzodio) add a powerful element, often cutting through a blaze of swelling tones and pneumatic percussive pummel, the only respite coming in the form of collaborative tracks with Kammarheit and Caul, which sees Eidulon returning to the foggy gloom and bleak isolationism that populated the debut. Collectively, it’s quite the provocative declaration, shattering genre barriers and setting the soundtrack for a world of incinerated cities, global plagues, and nuclear winters.

New Official Video From The Forthcoming Album ‘Two Of A Kind’
GC Project – Black Rose [Official Video]
Taken from the album: Two Of A Kind | 2018
Videomaker: Oscar Serio
Italian prog/fusionists GC Project are back with the first cut from their newly announced forthcoming album Two Of A Kind to be released worldwide via Sliptrick Records on October 16th, 2018. The track is Black Rose and is accompanied with an official video. Here’s how GC Project describes the concept behind the song and visuals; “The video speaks of love in the most absolute sense of the term; the protagonist writes a letter to the person who loves “listening” to the feelings of others, feelings common to all of us, that are felt towards a child, a sister, parents and even a person of the same sex. All these people within the same room, interact with each other without ever talking, but creating a cross-over of feelings, which give way to the protagonist to express his in the letter.”
All the songs and lyrics are on Two Of A Kind are written by Giacomo Calabria and his work is characterized by collaborations with several musicians, to create different sounds, attitude and interplay within the music.
