Zoltan "Zoli" Farkas on the signing: “I am very happy and proud to be a part of the Napalm family now. This is definitely a new chapter in my carrier that reaches the next level with the combination of Napalm Records and Napalm Events. Napalm Records is the best label I can imagine to release the new Ektomorf album and to go new ways together with us. Napalm Events is very well established by now and I can't wait to go on a world tour again with the new album and play further countries. I am very thankful to my new manager Tom, he made this work out. We visited together the Napalm team in Berlin last week. We had very good conversations and a lot of fun. The combination of Napalm Records and Napalm Events is really unique because of the close cooperation. I am super motivated and can’t wait to start with the Napalm team. The new chapter starts now!” Markus Jakob, Napalm Records, adds: ”We’re happy to welcome Ektomorf to the Napalm family and work hard on both album and live activities! Zoltan for sure is one of the hardest working metal musicians out there and definitely outdid himself on the upcoming record - expect nothing but a cross-generational thrash manifesto! Here’s to a bright and heavy mutual future!” EKTOMORF are: Zoltán Farkas – vocals, guitars Simon Szebasztián – guitars Csaba Zahorán – bass Kálmán Oláh – drums

https://www.facebook.com/depravedfrance/ https://music-records.fr/ https://www.facebook.com/musicsarl/ Italian Post-Black / Post Metallers Deadly Carnage, after a long period of reserve, break the silence and reveal details on the workmanship of their new concept album; Adres (bass) explains all:- “We have spent a long time keeping a total secret about what we were doing, but now the time has come to remove the veil and tell you something. For about 20 months we have been working on a new album, as for "Through The Void, Above The Suns", this new work will also be a concept album. Maybe it is not yet the time to tell you what this concept will deal with, but know that we spent a lot of time learning about extremely fascinating topics to be able to undertake the work on the lyrics of this new album and we are very satisfied with what we have created so far. We have six songs ready and we are collaborating with a visual artist to create the artwork that we have in mind; we still have a lot of work ahead of us, but one thing is certain; as always we will do exactly what we want! Soon we will give new details.” This new work will be the successor of "Through The Void, Above The Suns" and fifth album for the band. https://deadlycarnage.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/DeadlyCarnage/ https://www.instagram.com/deadlycarnageband/ https://www.youtube.com/user/Adres1989/videos https://open.spotify.com/artist/6Smmabcnt0gxJ3PnXAFq1L Sweden’s hottest metal export is just rounding up their European arena tour with Sabaton and are ready to present a very special Valentine’s Day gift: Amaranthe spice up the day with a brand new song featuring former vocalist of Arch Enemy, Angela Gossow. 'Do Or Die' displays Amaranthe’s heavier side and is accompanied by a dystopian horror video filmed in Spain, featuring Fardou Keuning's stunning creations. Brave enough? Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/iZweNFWbegI Angela Gossow comments:- "It was thrilling to join Amaranthe for a more extreme track and shooting a cutting edge video for it! This is no cosy studio performance, but real ice cold winds, sewage, cadavers and pouring rain - the reality we live in, the devastating legacy we leave to our future generations. Time to wake up, turn - and bang - some heads! Watch out for these guys and killer lady, they are going to crush you this year with a new album and some heavy touring!!!" Guitarist Olof Mörck states:- "While Amaranthe's music is often uplifting, energetic and positive, sooner or later everyone needs to deal with the obvious fact that the world is literally crumbling around us - and it is crumbling fast, thanks to the short sighted abuse of our common Mother Earth! We talked to legendary Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy fame to do an entire package of a video and a song, outside of any normal album cycle, and let our different perspectives on metal collide in a massive explosion; and it resulted in Do or Die! Together with Overbeck Media who shot the video, we delivered something really quite special, and Angela brings in a fresh strength to the trademark Amaranthe sound that is sure to resound all across the metal world! Death and Fire!"

Watch "Reflections" now: https://youtu.be/QPukuk5f8J0 The video has been produced by the directors Simone Furia and Michelangelo Ingrosso. The singer Elena Taby, comments: “Today, we all live in a sick society, we are losing sincerity, human relationships and empathy. Humanity is regressing to "homo homini lupus", but we have the opportunity to reverse this process with culture and art. In every single action we do we have a chance, leaving the instinct that leads us to the fear of the unknown or, thanks to art in all its forms, trying not to regress to a primitive status. We tried to include all these concepts in our new work, representing them as much as possible with colours and vibrations.” For more info, CD and/or merchandise orders, mp3, tour dates, news about Levania visit their official online channels: www.levania.net www.facebook.com/LevaniaOfficial |
