The UK metal scene is filled with a lot of talented bands, and we are so very lucky to add Repulsive Vision to the growing Mighty Music family! Matt Davidson: "Repulsive Vision are beyond thrilled to be working with Mighty Music and proud to be a part of their roster. Their support and understanding so far has been an amazing help to us and we are eager to bring our plans to fruition with this union". “Look Past the Gore and See The Art” A mantra that embodies the very soul of UK Death metal band, Repulsive Vision. The battle cry of anti censorship and open mindedness that influences the very meaning of the band itself. Heavily inspired by video nasties and their controversial history, this vicious four piece is a relentless assault of punk fueled old school death metal in the vein of Obituary, Carcass, Napalm Death and Entombed. Formed in 2010, Repulsive Vision has evolved over the years, eventually maintaining a strong current line-up consisting of Dan McEwan (Vocals), Mark Kirby (Bass), Gary Young (Drums) and Matt Davidson (Guitars). Recorded in the depths of Newcastle at First Avenue Studios and mixed/mastered by Dean Thompson, “Look Past the Gore and See the Art” is a work built on frustration and old school inspirations to bring an honest and unstoppable piece of grinding death metal. The long awaited debut album “Look Past The Gore and See The Art” shall be released in stores and on all digital platforms from the 31st of March 2017. https://www.facebook.com/RepulsiveVision/ https://www.reverbnation.com/repulsivevision

Amaranthe will kick off their first North American headline tour in support of their latest album Maximalism on February 10 in Houston, with support from Failure Anthem, Citizen Zero, Cypher 16, and Smash Into Pieces. The trek snakes through the U.S. and Canada, wrapping on March 11 in Reading, Pennsylvania. To herald the fact that they will be crashing the U.S. shores once again, the band has released the new video for "Boomerang." Watch it HERE. Guitarist Olof Morck says "It is finally time to release our brand new video for 'Boomerang', an Amaranthe take on the classic heist movie! Directed by the legendary Patric Ulleaus, it is everything you have come to expect of an Amaranthe video and much more! Perhaps the most ambitious video from the band so far, it is packed to the brim with action, glitter and glamour - you can try to bring us down, but we'll come around, like a Boomerang!" In other Amaranthe news, singer Jake E. has confirmed his exit from the band. Below is his statement on the matter. "After eight years and four albums, I have decided to leave Amaranthe. I am extremely proud of the band and what we've accomplished together. "Amaranthe have the most AMAZING fans and they have given me so much during the years, which I am extremely grateful for. I want to thank them all for always supporting me during the highs and the lows - without YOU we would be NOTHING. "Thank you for these years and I hope to meet you again soon!" -JAKE E www.jakee.se AMARANTHE ON TOUR With Failure Anthem, Cypher 16 and Smash Into Pieces: 2/10: Houston, TX @ Scout Bar 2/11: Dallas, TX @ Gas Monkey Bar N’ Grill 2/12: San Antonio, TX @ Paper Tiger 2/14: Englewood, CO @ Gothic Theatre 2/15: Salt Lake City, UT @ In the Venue 2/16: Tempe, AZ @ The Marquee 2/18: Las Vegas, NV @ Vinyl 2/19: San Francisco, CA @ Social Hall SF 2/20: Los Angeles, CA @ The Belasco Theater 2/22: Seattle, WA @ Studio Seven 2/23: Spokane, WA @ Knitting Factory 2/24: Boise, ID @ Knitting Factory 2/26: Calgary, AB @ Marquee Beer Market & Stage 2/27: Edmonton, AB @ Starlite Room 3/1: Minneapolis, MN @ Cabooze 3/2: Arlington Heights, IL @ Home Bar 3/3: Ft.

Productions. The album shall be released internationally on April 1st, on both vinyl LP and cassette tape formats. First discovered by NWN! through the time-honoured underground tradition of the band spreading self-produced cassettes to a limited number of contacts, Perverted Ceremony’s music reflects the same authenticity and dedication to their craft as their original manner of clandestine distribution. Although the band lists such revered acts as Demoncy, Mystifier, VON, Blasphemy, Profanatica, Archgoat, and Beherit, as their primary influences, their sound tends to gravitate somewhat more towards the latter two (along with Barathrum), who represent the Finnish tradition of bestial black metal. That said, Perverted Ceremony’s style is not easily compartmentalized according to their influences. On the contrary, with their distinctive approach to songwriting, production, and atmosphere, they have achieved a ritualistic blend of black metal that is unique unto itself. Additionally, Perverted Ceremony has proven with this album that the work recorded on its demo, which was already impressive in its own right, was only a snapshot in the band’s development, and one which has now been superseded. The first of several elements that bind both the demo and the album is the band’s preferred reliance on using the very same analogue 8-track recorder for both recordings. This deliberate choice has resulted in a very similarly full and organic, but not overly-refined, production value between the two. Another welcomed constant is the hideously buzzing guitar tone, which combines perfectly with the tremolo-picked riffing style, thus forming what has become one of the band’s trademark characteristics on both recordings. When coupled with the bass, often picking the same infernal note sequences a few octaves below it, the effect is a sound that burrows itself into the mind of the listener and is not easily extricated. On top of that mind-infesting buzz, deft flourishes of guitar leads emerge and rise above this hurtling maelstrom before fully dematerializing, proving to be a critical element that most bands of this type lack. he vocals on this album also inhabit and haunt the same accursed, sub-terrestrial registers as its preceding demo, lending it a most godforsaken aura. Of course, there are differences between the demo and Sabbat of Behezaël which afford the latter a degree of superiority. Gone are the sampled intros of Satanic sexual ritual that prefaced most songs on the demo. Though quite appropriate for that type of release, such an inclusion would have proven to be a distraction on a full-length album, and instead they are replaced with more minutes of the band’s own depraved ceremony. Also notable is the inclusion of a greater number and variety of riffs and tempo changes. Individual songs alternate within themselves from blisteringly fast tempos to black doom sequences reminiscent of Norway’s Faustcoven. The sum of these qualities, both formerly established and newly awakened, promise to make Sabbat of Behezaël one of the highlights, if not THE black metal beacon of darkness of 2017. Witness its first rituals at Nuclear War Now!'s Bandcamp HERE with the tracks "Crypt Of Behezaël" and "Whips Of Impurity." www.soundcloud.com/perverted-ceremony www.nwnprod.com www.facebook.com/pages/Nuclear-War-Now-Productions/114864651994141 Gorguts' celebrated Metalorgie Fest IV appearance at Le Ferrailleur in Nantes from 2016 is now being streamed in full via YouTube at the link below.
