 [Photo Credit: Emmelie Herwegh] The female dominated Dutch Death Metal squad Sisters Of Suffocation releases its second video from the upcoming album "Humans Are Broken" for their new single “Little Shits”. It’s as raw and energetic statement against all sexists and haters that didn’t take the band serious because of their gender. The band on the new video: “This song is about doing what you love and following your dreams, regardless of what other people may think of it. It is about diversity and equality, as well as having a passion for music and living for it to the fullest. It is about being yourself and trying to deal with people putting you down due to ignorant views and blatant prejudice. Finally, it is about overcoming negativity and putting your foot down, cause no-one has to take shit from another person simply because they live their lives and love it. We hope you all enjoy it; we certainly do! Also: big shout out to Marc Van Peski for the live pics in the video.” Watch the new video HERE.

 Colombian evil metal institution Lucifera premiere the new track "Pacto Pagano" at Decibel magazine's website. The track hails from the band's highly anticipated fourth album, La Caceria De Brujas, which will see international release on February 25th on CD format via Dunkelheit Produktionen; the vinyl LP version shall follow on March 18th, also via Dunkelheit. A work of blistering, anciently evil might, La Caceria De Brujas is the album which will truly launch Lucifera onto the worldwide stage and become a defining monument of Colombian metal. Hear Lucifera's "Pacto Pagano" in its entirety exclusively HERE. Lucifera formed in March 2008 as a duo of David HellRazor (guitar & composition) and Alejandra Blasfemia (vocals & bass). At that time, their music focused on much more conventional thrash metal, but over time, both music and lyrics became more obscure and conceptual. And up through the present, that dynamism between the two founding members has been maintained. Initially, Lucifera started covering Metallica, AC/DC, Motorhead, Plasmatics, Rock Goddess, Atransia, and many others, but after a while, it was decided to write their own songs. In 2009, they were contacted by Portugal's War Productions, which released their first demo tape, Sed de Venganza, which was recorded entirely during a rehearsal. The following year, France's Legion of Death Records released on 7" vinyl the band's second recording, Legiones de Metal. At the end of 2010 and into early 2011, Lucifera would embark upon their first international tour after sharing the stage with numerous bands in several national shows. The tour was titled "Destroying Without Mercy South American Tour 2010/2011," which included more than 30 dates in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, making the whole trek more than two months between these countries of South America and thus being the first and only Colombian metal band to make this possible.
In 2012, after some changes of members in the band, Lucifera collaborated with War Productions again, this time for a split tape with fellow Colombian band Virgin Killer, jointly titled Unidas en Alcohol, Cuero y Metal. In 2013, the band suffers a massive withdrawal of members, with only the two founding members remaining. However, the duo continues to work on new material during 2014, and in March 2015, courtesy of Ecuadorian label Evil Domain Productions,Lucifera releases its first full-length recording, Después de la Muerte. A second international tour followed, called "Profanando la Tumba de los Caidos Tour 2015," which was more ambitious thanks to the contacts the previous one gave them, and thus reached Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina At the beginning of 2016, the founding members decide to re-record the Sed de Venganza demo and Legiones de Metal EP with a professional sound and with new art for this edition. Ecuadorian label Tanatofobia Productions releases the eight tracks - plus new intro, outro, and an instrumental that had never been recorded before - asLucifera's second full-length, Sed de Venganza & Legiones de Metal. At the end of 2016, Lucifera had its third international tour, doing a series of concerts in Central America, including Panama, El Salvador, and Guatemala as well as Colombia. Right after, work was finished on the band's third full-length, Preludio del Mal, which was released by Salvadorian label Morbid Skull Records. This album was crucial for the band, enabling them to reach different countries on all continents of the world, and suitably received excellent reviews all over. And now, at long last, Lucifera is set to release its defining work: La Caceria De Brujas, courtesy of Germany'sDunkelheit Produktionen. Taking all the band's foundational elements - blitzkrieg surge, fierce 'n' focused songwriting, a deadly commitment to the heavy metal ethos, an evil that's tangible yet devilishly fun - but presenting them in their most powerful and professional state yet, La Caceria De Brujas is an eight-song/39-minute tour de force of the blackest thrash metal and thrashiest black metal, or simply ANCIENT, ETERNAL METAL! The deadly duo of David HellRazor and Alejandra Blasfemia remains, standing tall all this time, and brimming with a commanding confidence that's impossible to deny. No matter which end of the metal spectrum you fall, Lucifera deliver the goods, and then some! A fourth international tour is being planned for this momentous event.

Hungarian Metalcore quintet Faminehill unveil new single "Ruin"; announce label signing26/1/2019  Hungarian Metalcore quintet Faminehell are proud make their comeback on the scene, since 2015, with a brand new track, and quite a few announcements: the new visualette for "Ruin" is premiering right now via Dreambound on YouTube, and idobi Howl as well for the week, while their debut album, "Ascend" will be out April 5th, on their new label, Famined Records. Blending riffs and aggression reminiscent of Wage War with soothing, full of passion and mesmerizing clean vocals, Faminehill bring to the table a formula that, while not new, it's certainly well executed. The heavy passages are groovy and head-banging inducing, and the clean vocals deliver quite a punch that, along with the lyrics, might hit close to home for some people. The passion the band has, and how it's delivered, are what makes them stand out. Tamás (guitar, clean vocals) gave us a bit more insight on the single: "Ruin is a mixture of anger and bitterness, it's aggressive but melodic. The song is about losing someone close to you. As we try to overcome grief, anger is one of the many stages of a long and painful process. It is all about dealing with injustice, when a good person passes away too soon and you cannot overcome the fact, specially when people who deserve half the kindness of this world are still thriving, living an easy life, and the ones we hold dearest aren't here with us anymore."

Check it out here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfjTbY2NzsM "'Endurant' is a song for those who've faced or continue to face bullying in any aspect of life. We wanted to be as realistic and practical as possible with our message, which is why the song urges to endure and come out stronger rather than retaliate or fight back with force. The video, while maintaining the message of the song, also tries to establish that bullies are not another breed." - Karan Katiyar Bloodywood is: Karan Katiyar - Guitars, Production, Programming Jayant Bhadula - Vocals Roul Kerr - Rap Vocals |
