Finland’s multi-Platinum cello-metalers Apocalyptica release their brand-new track and music video, ‘Live Or Die’ featuring guest vocals from Sabaton’s Joakim Brodén via Silver Lining Music. The song boasts an undeniably dynamic liaison in heavy metal - the spellbinding music of Apocalyptica and the potent, iconic vocals of Sabaton’s Joakim Brodén coming together to create a fierce battle cry focused on the desecration of our planet. ‘Live Or Die’ was composed by Apocalyptica and recorded in Finland with Apocalyptica and Martin Hansen (Scorpions) producing. The video, directed by Ville Juurikkala and filmed in Berlin, is a fiery performance piece that features Brodén on vocals. Apocalyptica and Sabaton have a new but notable history of collaboration. Most recently, the two bands recorded a version of the 2010 Sabaton track ‘Angels Calling’ released in November 2019, with a companion music video. In addition, Apocalyptica was Special Guest on Sabaton's just-concluded, critically acclaimed, SRO, 15-country European tour, that included Apocalyptica joining Sabaton onstage every night for a half dozen songs. As one UK reviewer wrote, “The chemistry between the two bands was absolutely incredible. Apocalyptica were throwing around their cellos just as hard as Sabaton were throwing around their guitars.” In support of their current studio album release, the all-instrumental Cell-0, Apocalyptica - cellists Eicca Toppinen, Perttu Kivilaakso, Paavo Lötjönen and drummer Mikko Sirén - will kick off the first leg of their 2020 North American tour on May 3rd in Orlando, Florida. The band will bring their moving and live performances to 20 cities over a three-week period wrapping up on May 26th in Boston, MA. With a set list that will vary night to night, Apocalyptica's performances will be comprised of new songs from Cell-0 as well as from the band's rich catalogue. Lacuna Coil will support on all North American dates. Whilst Europe will enjoy one of the most engaging, exciting and ‘Apocalyepic’ events of the year this coming Autumn 2020, when the cello metal giants Apocalyptica unite with Epica to entertain audiences all over the continent, from Budapest to Barcelona, on the Epic Apocalypse Tour. The two will co-headline, showing both a refreshing camaraderie and lack of ego, and will be joined by the exciting, progressive metal band Wheel, who will open each night with their engaging time-defying grooves and deep social exploration.

Peruvian Black / Death outfit Two Face Sinner release new album through Non Serviam Records6/3/2020 Non Serviam Records is pleased to announce the signing of the best kept Peruvian secret Two Face Sinner. The Dutch label run by Ricardo Gelok will release their third album in studio “Spiritual Nemesis” in the upcoming months. Two Face Sinner is a black/death metal band from Lima, Peru, and consists of members from Anal Vomit, among others. Founded by Numa (vocals and guitars) and Arún (guitars) in 2006, they released their debut album 4 years later. Their second album “Peccatum Originale" followed in 2015. “Two Face Sinner is a kind of archetype, that we use to develop ourselves in this society. It's like being the smartest individual in the middle of all common standardized religious society that reigns all across South America. I show you two faces of the coin, so I make sure I don't kill you attempting to co-exist in this world”, explains band founding member Numa. Album details will be revealed soon. TWO FACE SINNER are: Numa - Guitars & Vocals Arún - Guitars Set - Bass Joe Hoyle – Drums : http://www.twofacesinner.com https://www.facebook.com/twofacesinner/ www.youtube.com/numa2fs https://www.facebook.com/nonserviamrecords https://www.instagram.com/non_serviam_records/ https://non-serviam-records.bandcamp.com/ No matter if you are ready or not, you filthy landlubbers – Alestorm returns in an uncensored, satirical, and glorious manner! Two years after their latest album, No Grave But The Sea, the pirate metal drinking crew will return to the nightmares of all decent sea marauders out there with their brand new conquest, Curse Of The Crystal Coconut, to be released on May 29th, 2020 via Napalm Records. Known for their signature attitude and unashamedly catchy tunes, the crew, led by Captain Christopher Bowes, is proud to present eleven bombastic pirate anthems, kept in their signature unadulterated, chaotic fashion that will pull the rug out from under your feet. Breaking the stereotypical portrayal of pirates as the lone wolves of the sea, on Curse of the Crystal Coconut, Alestorm will be joined by Ally Storch of Subway to Sally (violin on the entire album) and Captain Yarrface of Rumahoy – amongst others! The variety of tracks featured on the album will satisfy even the pickiest adventure seeker and the wildest pirate parties out there. “Chomp Chomp”, featuring vocals of Vreth of Finntroll, may make you never want to enter the open waters again, but will definitely invite you to dance along to ravishing melodies. The catchy rhythm of “Pirate Metal Drinking Crew” makes the track yet another foot-stomping anthem in the assortment of these treasure-searching marauders. However, don’t take their rage too light-heart, as once they unleash the “Pirate’s Scorn” and its brutal riffs, there may be no coming back… Of course, it wouldn’t be an Alestorm album without their unique sense of humour – this, and much more, can be found on the party-smashing “Treasure Chest Party Quest” or the surprising “Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship”. Although the Curse of the Crystal Coconut may remain a mystery for now, one thing is for sure – it will make you throw all the conventionalities aside and join this humorous pirate crew on their most fierce and grim journey so far! Pre-Order Curse of the Crystal Coconut NOW! Curse of the Crystal Coconut will be available in the following formats:

The band released a second single Murder of Crows along with music video and it is available here: https://youtu.be/A6fyjAYkNtM Vocalist Okko Solanterä comments:- ""Murder Of Crows" is in a way our love letter to old school melodic death. Straightforward and a little bit of flirting with Swedish metal. The lyrics go through conflicts with the self and the world, and the rest I'll leave to the imagination. The music video was shot in the beautiful (and haunted) Anjala Mansion. Our drummer Mikko had a fever, but he pulled through like a champ! The whole band is super happy with the results, as the video beautifully supports the feeling of the song! It's easy to stand proudly behind it." The album consists of ten versatile metal tracks, which show a wide range of influences. Lyrical themes of the album deal with “collapsing” on a personal and societal level. There are also sci-fi-themes as an added bonus. “Collapse” was forged during late 2018 and early 2019 at Deep Noise Studios in Kouvola, Finland. It was recorded and mixed by Saku Moilanen. Mastering was done at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden by Tony Lindgren.

The Italian four-piece, who started their dark path of blasphemous sounds in 2013, burst into the extreme metal scene with their 2015-, highly acclaimed debut, Encyclia. With their new album, In Æternvm, the band created a cage of pure sound violence, an explosion of rage, so deeply black and full of hate as the darkest side of hell. laCasta definitely express their nihilistic attitude through all that is extreme metal, with all its darkest vibes, hardcore elements and dissonant sounds! The name of the band was inspired by the system that surrounds us and controls the entire planet, where all the castes hold more power day by day. The band is known to play their live shows from behind the crowd, as a sign of refuse. laCasta have shared the stages with bands alike Impaled Nazarene, Karma To Burn, Rotten Sound, Implore among many more to date. To celebrate their album release in dark style, laCasta have just premiered a brand new video to the fierce track 'Faith'. Watch the band perform and spread the extreme sounds in their new music clip HERE!

An adventure in pure steampunk style, guided by the common thread of the tarot, real protagonists of the novel, real engines of the action and at the same time active and present protagonists.

The unmistakeable sound of Ulcerate finds its emotional apex on Stare Into Death And Be Still, as the band emerges from the claustrophobia and dissonance of their recent past to present a next-level exploration of melody, harmony, and power. The band's signature, ultra-atmospheric blend of unorthodox death metal with the textures of futurist black metal is here pared-down with the consummate hand of experience, giving stunning credence to the riff, the song, and the meaning. Embracing production clarity, Ulcerate uses these songs to fully showcase their otherworldly musicianship: a vocal performance from Paul Kelland of unadulterated authority, Michael Hoggard's guitar, and Jamie Saint Merat's percussion working in tandem with startling skill and originality, simultaneously skewed and heart-rending, often addictively succinct and revelling in strident motifs that hook, haunt, and transform the listener with their expressive honesty. Thematically, the album explores the concept of "death reverence" - drawing on recent personal experience to confront the truism that death and tragedy aren't always sudden or violent, that people are often passive observers trapped "in the silent horror of observing death calmly and cleanly". Stare Into Death And Be Still is the deepest, purest, and most meticulous form of Ulcerate: a soul-searching conflagration of atypical melodicism, immaculate virtuosic dexterity and sublimated psychological upheaval. A breathtaking new beginning for one of the most uniquely talented bands in extreme music. Stream / Share ULCERATE's "Stare Into Death And Be Still" at THIS LOCATION Stare Into Death And Be Still will be released on CD, LP, and digital formats. Find pre-order options below.
