Watch it now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dACu0FMjc7Y Mastermind Lord Kaiaphas states: “‘Thy Throne is Mine’ is simply the best Black Metal that I’m capable of creating thus far. As a whole, it’s an album with songs that are catchy and memorable. I didn’t want to make an album with every song sounding the same. For the lyrics of Banishing the Lion of Kutha I created a story based on Sumerian and Akkadian mythology. This song has a warlike feeling.” https://www.facebook.com/ThokkianVortex/ http://www.non-serviam-records.com https://www.facebook.com/nonserviamrecords https://www.instagram.com/non_serviam_records/ https://non-serviam-records.bandcamp.com/

Danish Death Metallers Eciton sign with Wormholedeath and unleash "Demagogue" official video14/2/2020 Danish death metal combo Eciton are pleased and proud to announce that they have signed with WormHoleDeath for the release of their album "Suspension of Disbelief”. "Suspension of Disbelief” will be out on 06 03 2020 via Wormholedeath/The Orchard worldwide. Band statement: "With the signing to WormHoleDeath, Eciton see it as a great opportunity and possibility to get people around the world to hear our music and be better known. Eciton believe that the partners that WormHoleDeath have in Japan and US is great way to get outside the borders of Europe and send Eciton in a new direction. Hopefully it can help us to play more shows around Europe and the rest of the world. "Suspension of Disbelief” consists of 10 old school, technically catchy death metal songs that everyone with metal in their ears should hear.. Hopefully Ecitons second release on WormHoleDeath will take place in 2021. From summer 2020 Eciton will be playing shows with the album “Suspension of disbelief”... Cheers..!" The Danish death metal band Eciton was formed in 2000 by musicians who over the past 12 years had been involved in numerous death metal bands and projects, with the clear intention to play brutal and uncompromising death metal. Eciton's debut album title "Oppressed" was released by French label Adipocere Records. After a series of line-up changes, partly because of bassist Soren Maiboes untimely death, Eciton started to write new material which sent them into EarPlug studio. The Recordings were abruptly interrupted when the band once again was stroked by bad luck since drummer Eskil Frantzen tragically died. Shortly after Jesper Frost (Iniquity) joined Eciton and the final recordings to the band's second album “A scent of veracity” took place and ended in the hands of Jacob Olsen at JBO studio who did an awesome job mixing and mastering it. Later that year “A scent of veracity” was released. After a couple of years with live shows, Eciton went back to write material for their 3. Album and at the same time looking for an extra guitarist and a new guy to hit the 4 strings.. 10 sick jaw breaking songs began to show their face and moulded into a Eciton form and were recorded at Earplug studio with Thomas Pedersen. Once again it went to JBO studio for mixing and mastering and the album “Suspension of Disbelief” were born and again Eciton startet crawling out of the mount to terrify and conquer the world.. Melancholic melodic death metal band Slow Fall from up north the Finnish city of Oulu has released a new single "Exile The Day".

The song itself is a nice mix of heavy riffs, melancholic spirit and it has maybe the most versatile vocal performance on the whole album. Exile the Day is the third single from the upcoming debut album "Beneath the Endless Rains", out in spring 2020." guitar player Juho Viinikanoja backgrounds. Slow Fall was founded by bassist and songwriter Markku Kerosalo in the year 2016. Since then the band has gone through a few line-up changes until its current form in 2019, including Markus Taipale (vox), Aki Pusa (drums), Heikki Kakko (gtr), Juho Viinikanoja (gtr) and Markku Kerosalo (bass). Band's first EP "The First Ones to Fall" was released in the year 2017. Back then the band's music was much more into the melodic doom metal sound which has now gone through a lot of progression and evolving. Slow Fall took the year 2018 to write songs for the debut album and started the recordings for it in the early 2019. The new music really shows all the colours in band's own spectrum, from the heavy blastbeat drumming and stormy riffing to the more mellow and atmospheric stuff. The single release Across the Cold shows the heavier and faster sound of the upcoming album. https://youtu.be/zy9TToYUD3U https://www.facebook.com/slowfallofficial/ Norwegian progressive metal act Green Carnation are now revealing the album details for 'Leaves of Yesteryear'. The new record is the first release by the band in 14 years and will be out on May 8th, via Season of Mist. The cover artwork was created by Niklas Sundin and can be found below together with the tracklist. "The cover contains elements from the lyrics on the album, affected by the music and expressed through the cover artist Niklas Sundin’s pencil. Niklas put a lot of effort into going deep into this album, and came up with a few different sketches. We immediately fell for this one. It is rich in detail, is eye catching and of course has Niklas’ signature, which we very fond of", singer Kjetil Nordhus says. The band has also launched a small interview series about the new full length, which can be viewed at the Season of Mist Youtube Channel HERE. After almost 10 years of total silence, Norwegian Prog / Avant-garde metal act Green Carnation announced their comeback to the international metal scene for the 15th anniversary of their cult classic 'Light of Day, Day of Darkness' in 2016. After a successful comeback year with festival appearances and special shows both in Europe and North America, the Norwegians are now preparing to release their first album release in 14 years. Green Carnation from Kristiansand, Norway, was founded as early as 1990. After founding member Tchort joined legends-to-be Emperor and continued in Satyricon and Einherjer, the band was laid to rest until their debut album, 'A Journey To The End Of The Night' came out in 2000. Following a period with line-up changes, 2001 marked the release of the bands epic 'Light of Day, Day of Darkness'. With their albums 'A Blessing in Disguise' (2003) and 'The Quiet Offspring' (2005), Green Carnation shifted towards a more rock orientated style, before they surprised everyone with the stripped-down record 'Acoustic Verses' in 2006. What followed in the same year is perhaps one of the most spectacular DVD recordings metal history. The band played a show in the mountains, under a 30-meter-high dam. Only a year later, Green Carnation disbanded. After the successful return in 2016, the band continued to play shows in 2017 and 2018. In September 2019, the progressive metal act announced that they were going to record their first album in 14 years, in DUB Studio, with producer Endre Kirkesola (ABBATH, IN VAIN and SOLEFALD), who also produced their classic, 'Light of Day, Day of Darkness'. The new album is expected to be released in the first half of 2020 via Season of Mist.

Here’s what the band had to say about their latest track:- “We’re very proud to announce our latest video for the track Reflections. We started a journey with the EP Episode 0 (where the track is taken from) and Reflections represents the thousands of idiosyncrasies that affected our lifestyle. Today we live in a sick society. We are losing sincerity, human relations and empathy. Humanity is regressing to a “homo homini lupus” level but, we have got a chance to invert this process with …education! In every single action we make we have a possibility; allow the instinct that leads to the fear of the unknown or, thanks to education, trying not to regress in ourselves to beasts. https://youtu.be/QPukuk5f8J0 We tried to put everything into our newest video/work with as much colour and vibes as possible.” The EP opens up with Abyss, a song that addresses the issue of depression, analysing how one can become slaves to one’s demons. Abyss also addresses the issue of moral hazard, when one has to choose how to deal with discomfort. This is followed with Reflections which talks about the all-Italian problem of functional illiteracy. Man is a social animal but if he is not educated, he will remain an animal moved by primitive instincts. In this society appearance is more important than education, and this is leading to an involution of the species. Episode 0 closes with Reckoning, an instrumental outro, both alluring and seductive.

The new album turn back to the times of the ancient Mediterranean civilization and tells us their stories by inserting instrumental parts in their sound with characteristic melodies that bring us back to the ancient splendour of these lost civilizations.

Pre-order here: https://smarturl.it/esa0na As Selfmadegod Records prepares to release Degrees Of Isolation - the impending fourth album from Polish death crew Banisher - the label this week unveils the new single, "Apotheosis." Recorded by Banisher's powerful line-up including members and ex-members of Decapitated, Belphegor, Vital Remains, Hate, Redemptor, and Shodan, Degrees Of Isolation delivers eight new songs totaling forty minutes of pulverization. The album was recorded at Invent-Sound Studio in Bydgoszcz, Poland and the cover art created by Łukasz Jaszak. The new "Apotheosis" video clip was made by Rafał "Kvass" Kwaśny. The band offers with its release:- "'Apotheosis' was the first song that was written on Degrees Of Isolation. It's a hate-mockery hymn against all hypocrites who are pretending to be someone else that they are in real life. This is the only song on Degrees Of Isolation that sticks out from the concept of the album. This is a very raw, furious song, with a motoric verse, catchy refrain, savage blast beat coda, and crushing breakdown at the end. This is also the shortest song on the album, sort of a 'shot in the face.' What is also worth mentioning, the opening riff from the verse was written 'out of the head' on a sheet of paper during incarceration and adapted on the instrument later on after being released from custody." See Banisher's "Apotheosis" visualizer at the Selfmadegod YouTube channel RIGHT HERE. Degrees Of Isolation will be released through Selfmadegod Records on CD, limited box CD, and all digital platforms February 29th. Find pre-orders at the label webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE. Since their 2005 formation, Banisher has delivered a captivating style of brutal death metal loaded with technical precision and an experimental/sci-fi flair, releasing albums through Torn Flesh Records, Unquiet Records, Deformeathing Production, as well as several independent demos and EPs. Their fourth album, Degrees Of Isolation appears to be the most diverse, mature, and both musically and technically advanced album they have ever captured. The lyrics are based on true events, which makes the music on Degrees Of Isolation all the more dark and depressive. Every song tackles the feelings and emotions experienced throughout incarceration, being held in custody, and after being acquitted. https://www.facebook.com/banisherofficial https://www.instagram.com/banisher_official https://banisher.bandcamp.com http://www.selfmadegod.com http://www.facebook.com/selfmadegod http://www.selfmadegod.bandcamp.com http://www.instagram.com/selfmadegod_records http://www.soundcloud.com/selfmadegodrecords http://www.youtube.com/user/SelfmadegodRecords Australian thrash metallers Warrior Within released their second EP In Light Act II on 8 February 2020.
