Canadian metal band Malacoda are to release the brand new album via Rockshots Records this coming fall! Following on from the release of the EP "Ritualis Aeterna", Malacoda will be releasing a new full length album "Restless Dreams" via Rockshots Records in this coming fall. The album delivers a full musical experience inspired by the horror video game "Silent Hill 2". Malacoda first introduced their fans to the "Silent Hill 2" storyline with the track "I got a letter" which featured on the band's sophomore release, "Ritualis Aeterna" (Rockshots Records, 2017). "Restless Dreams", inspired by the horror video game "Silent Hill 2", is a musical journey through dark, tormented themes of doubt, loss, guilt and terror. The plot of the album follows a broken man’s journey through the ghost town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his dead wife asking him to meet her there. Malacoda brings a fresh interpretation of the themes within the ground-breaking video game classic "Silent Hill 2". Malacoda artfully bring to life the oppressive, claustrophobic aura of the fog consumed town with deviously clever song-writing and mind-cacthing lyrics, Malacoda truly understand the importance of meticulous production, and appreciate the masterful mix by Jon Howard (Threat Signal, Imonolith), "Restless Dreams" is a musical release unlike any other. Fans and new listeners alike, prepare for an atmospheric and melodic metal descent into a world of horror and despair. The new album "Restless Dreams" is set to be released via Rockshot Records on October 19 in North America and October 26 in Europe. www.rockshots.eu http://www.malacodametal.com https://www.facebook.com/MalacodaBand https://www.instagram.com/malacodametal/

The first EP, Devourer Of Souls is now ready and will be released worldwide via Sliptrick Records on November 6th, 2018. It’s 5 brutal tracks are full of hard, uncompromising twists and turns.

Click below to listen via Bandcamp. https://sulgogar.bandcamp.com/releases Sulgogar is a Venezuelan metal band, founded at the end of 2016 in the town of Duaca, North of Barquisimeto (Lara state).Sulgogar is considered to be the first, and only metal band in that area to date. With a musical style mixing Death Metal and elements of Thrash and Black Metal, the lyrics of Sulgogar range from urban legends and mysteries, to more darker and sinister themes such as social criticisms. Greek Black/Death outfit Burial Hordes will haunt the world again in a few weeks to leave it in swath of destruction. The new album "ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ ΑΙΩΝΙΟΣ" will be released via Folter Records on September 14, 2018. A first taste of this elemental force is now released in form of a video for the opening track "Human Condition (Isolation Meaninglessness Mortality)". The clip can bee seen here: https://youtu.be/AQGwkSsqC-I https://www.facebook.com/BurialHordesOfficial/ Portuguese black metal titans Black Howling stream the entirety of their highly anticipated sixth album, Return of Primordial Stillness, at heavily trafficked web-portal IndyMetalVault.com. Set for international release on July 27th via Signal Rex, hear Black Howling's Return of Primordial Stillness in its entirety exclusively HERE. One of the oldest and most prolific bands in the Portuguese black metal underground, Black Howling have built up a staggering body of work of unparalleled anguish and misery. By no means strictly "depressive suicidal black metal," the duo's aesthetic often runs parallel to DSBM but fortunately evades all the usual cliches of such. More importantly, Black Howling's commitment to an unapologetically raw sound-field yet suffusing that misery 'n' anguish with a remarkably accomplished melodicism has largely shaped the modern Portuguese black metal paradigm that has received so much international fervour in recent years. Now, after three years of silence, Black Howling return with Return of Primordial Stillness, a compact-yet-massive distillation of their enduring aesthetic. Comprising four tracks in an epic 40 minutes, Return of Primordial Stillness indeed sounds primordial and indeed invokes a crypt-like stillness, but there's so much more going on here. The record is bookended by two mostly instrumental tracks, with the two central compositions - "Celestial Syntropy" and "Celestial Entropy," which are 14 minutes and 16 minutes, respectively - canvassing a wide sonic landscape, howling and desperate and yet strangely triumphant and even perversely soothing, such is their catharsis sought. However, this is all BLACK METAL through and through, undiluted and uncompromising; it's just that Black Howling possess a profound understanding of it and are thusly able to shape it in dazzling(ly malodorous) ways. Simply put, if you aren't mesmerized by the conjuring's contained within, then perhaps black metal isn't for you... Though their output has slowed in recent years, each Black Howling recording is a stained treasure unto itself. When their next recording shall reveal itself, no one knows but then, but hereby witness their Return of Primordial Stillness...all of which can be heard exclusively HERE, courtesy of IndyMetalVault.com.

The singer keeps a strict schedule of releasing a new record every 2 years and Exceptions (translated from “Исключения”) follows on from her first album Alive in 2013 and then in 2015, Lunar Butterfly Pollen. The album Exceptions turns out to be musically powerful and deep in content. The title of the disc is not accidental, it reflects the main idea. According to Nookie, her new disc is addressed to each specific person as an exception. The centre of attention is a person who is opposed to the crowd. In the world there are no two identical people, it’s important to be yourself and to feel the importance of your own life – the main idea that she wants to convey. The sound covers uncompromising nu-metal and alternative complemented with strong melodies and topped with the unmistakable voice of Nookie herself. Nookie is the solo project of Russian group Slot’s singer Daria Stavrovich. For most people, Nookie’s name is associated exclusively with the extravagant vocalist of the band Slot, who have made their name and still ignite the Russian alternative scene. But it is difficult to place a talented person in any particular style or frame, and even more so to keep them there. In 2016, Nookie participated in the singing show “Voice”, where she successfully passed the “blind auditions”. Nookie became a real sensation on that fifth season and was the most discussed and viewed participant of the project. Exceptions | Released August 7th, 2018 on Sliptrick Records Nookie are: Nookie – Lead Vocals Sergey Bogolyubskiy – Guitar Andrey Ostrav – Bass Alexander Karpukhin – Drums Band links: Official Website | Facebook | Youtube | Instagram | VK | On Sliptrick Weed Demon are pleased to reveal their new video for "Sigil Of The Black Moon". The song is taken from the album Astrological Passages which is getting a fresh release on vinyl July 27th. The band commented:- "We started working on the video for “Sigil” in August of last year. A handful of setbacks and numerous bowl packs later we finally got around to wrapping everything up. Seeing the final product was like a huge collective exhale for us. It’s no easy task to put together an almost 11 minute video. A huge thanks to Josh Richter for helping to keep the project moving forward. We are humbled and honoured that Decibel was kind enough to handle the premier. Keep it heavy. Keep it hazy. " Watch the video here: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2018/07/19/watch-weed-demon-sigil-of-the-black-moon/ Pre-order the album on vinyl here: https://smokeweeddemon.bandcamp.com/album/astrological-passages The North West, UK-based blackened death metal sextet Hecate Enthroned – whose 'brutal epic scornful metal' has earned extensive acclaim over the past two decades – have signed a worldwide recording contract with the American label M-Theory Audio. The group plans to release a new album – their sixth full-length, and first in five years – in January. More information about the recording will be revealed in the coming months. Originally co-founded in Wales by guitarist Nigel Dennan in the mid-1990s, Hecate Enthroned is dedicated to delivering their own brand of evil metal with little regard to politics or the trends of popular demand. The group's 1997 debut full-length, the Andy Sneap-produced “The Slaughter Of Innocence, A Requiem For The Mighty” (Blackend Records), was a seminal release in the then-burgeoning orchestral black metal movement. Since then, several full-lengths and EPs and numerous live performances have firmly established the band as one of extreme metal's most important voices, a sentiment that the group's forthcoming album will surely reinforce. "It is with a great amount of pride that we announce this deal with M-Theory Audio,” says longtime bassist Dylan Hughes. “We feel M-Theory is the right label to take the band on to where we want to be, and we have total confidence in them to handle the new album as it deserves to be. Marco' s reputation and character is second to none, and we look forward to working and developing together. Along with Extreme Management Group, we have a great team behind us and can honestly say that this marks a new era for Hecate Enthroned. We would like to thank all our fans for their patience during these months of uncertainty around the new album but be assured – the wait will be worth it." Hecate Enthroned will next perform live at the MetalDays festival in Slovenia on July 23 alongside the likes of Behemoth, Skeletonwitch and Carpathian Forest. The group has also announced a September 15 headlining show at London's Black Heart. Advance tickets are on sale now for just £8. Additional tour dates will be announced in the near future.

Originally premiered on BVTV Music, "Death Investing" was filmed by Alex Kouvatsos at Blackwolf Imaging. Watch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDsxlv0z8vo&feature=youtu.be Another Day's Armor is a Rock / Alternative Metal band from New York. Combining the huge, mainstream sound of arena rock with borderline metal instrumental work, the band started to create a buzz for themselves with debut singles "Reflections" and "Simple As Sin." Coming off the momentum of the previous two singles, the band has been working on their debut EP which is set to release mid summer 2018. Coming up in a time where very few bands put any emphasis into their image and persona, ADA pride themselves on standing out from the crowd both visually, and musically. With an image reminiscent of a time where rock was on top of the music world, Another Day’s Armor refuses to be just another “faceless” band, wanting their fans to feel connected to every member: Logan Manganelli - Vocals, Nick Palma - Lead Guitar, Ryan Bicknell - Rhythm Guitar, Joe Grunski - Bass, and Alec Keshishian - Drums. Another Day’s Armor aren't just a band, they are a movement for the future of rock. https://www.facebook.com/anotherdaysarmor On July 6th, Lebanese Metallers Phenomy performed at Metalhead Meeting 2018, in Bucharest, Romania! The band has issued the recap from the festival, read below: "It was the first time we play on a big stage like this and it really took us to a next level. On the first moments it was really intimidating but after the second song when we really realised that the crowd were really enjoying our shit it became like a flow of energy passing from the crowd to us and vise versa. After the performance the reception of the fans was awesome.They really showed us that they knew what it took us to be here it was really a pay off for all the hard work.Then of course meeting people from other bands especially Alexi Laiho from Children Of Bodom, the look on his face when we told him that we were from Lebanon was priceless. Also, sharing our experiences on the road was fun and educative. We are really excited for what's to come!"
