Motionless In White announce new album "Scoring The End Of The World" + share "Cyberhex" video13/3/2022 Motionless In White have announced their anxiously awaited new full-length album, "Scoring The End Of The World", set for release on June 10, 2022. It is available to pre-save on all streaming platforms today with exclusive merch bundles available for pre-order in the band's official store. To herald its arrival, the Scranton, PA quintet have also shared the first single "Cyberhex," which is available on all streaming platforms and joined by an official music video directed by the band's guitarist Ricky Olson and Logan Beaver — now live on the band's official YouTube channel. Vocalist Chris Motionless elaborated on the ambitious new project stating: "'Cyberhex' is my love letter to you, our fans, for everything you have done for me over the course of some of the most mentally taxing few years I've had to go through. At times where I felt like my world was ending, as well as the world around us, it was always in my mind that I was able to turn to the special relationship we have created together for help, and I cannot thank you enough for that. Outside of my own personal experiences, it has been equally as fulfilling to me to see that in the face of tireless forces that continue to try and perpetuate hatred and negativity towards so many of us coexisting on this planet, we have all stood together to resist and fight back knowing that love and compassion will always prevail. We ARE the resistance. We ARE Cyberhex. I love you. Thank you." On "Cyberhex," an ominous synth melody snaps like the click of a trigger into a pummelling glitchy guitar riff as vocalist Chris Motionless warns, "There's no tomorrow." His apocalyptic verses give way to a robotic sample, "Initiate Cyberhex," before the cataclysmically catchy chorus takes hold. Strings pierce the militaristic bridge, and screams cut through the chaos. In what may be their most cinematic visual yet, the story of the song comes to life on-screen under Olson's deft direction. "Scoring The End Of The World" fully encompasses the expanse of the band's dynamic, deep, and dark vision, and marks the band's first full-length body of work in three years since 2019's Disguise. The latter has quietly made a major impact on rock music and culture. The single "Another Life" stands out as their most-streamed song ever with over 23 million YouTube views on the music video. The record claimed a spot on Loudwire's "50 Best Metal Albums of 2019," plus it ignited the creative renaissance that would set the stage for the statement-making Scoring The End of the World. Last year, Motionless In White unleashed the standalone single "Timebomb." It has gathered 5.7 million Spotify streams and 1.6 million YouTube views on the music video. https://www.facebook.com/motionlessinwhite Following on from their well received EPs, Burial Grounds and Death Eater, New Hampshire’s Wretched Tongues are now ready to unleash their full length debut album. Featuring nine songs of unbelievable heaviness, shocking impact and breath taking ingenuity "Ulter Praefinitum" sees Wretched Tongues outstripping their previous releases in every department with accomplished ease. This is where their story really begins. This is where the fury is unleashed in a firestorm of audio violence. To describe the songs that make up "Ulter Praefinitum" as ‘heavy’ is to make a crass understatement of indescribable proportions. The riffs that form the foundations of sonic assaults like ‘Into The Nothing’ hit you with a physical force, a blow that you can feel in your bones. You’ll be checking yourself for bruises after the mighty ‘To Witness The Infinite’ gets through with you. Yet there is more to "Ulter Praefinitum" than sheer power, even though power on these levels is enough in itself. These superlative songs also deliver atmosphere, intricate moments of class that live long in the memory, crafted hooks that will draw you back into the punishing maelstrom time and again. Each moment of "Ulter Praefinitum" has been finely crafted and designed – designed to destroy without question, but designed all the same. This is no haphazard collection of bludgeoning beatdowns; this is top level extreme music – formidable in intensity and creativity. Now united with the experience and reach of Vicious Instinct Records, Wretched Tongues are ready to open fire on the world. When "Ulter Praefinitum" is unleashed in all its glory on March 18th, with its stunning Caelan Stokkermans (Vesperian Sorrow, Vomit The Soul, Abiotic etc) artwork and colossal Key Recordings (I, The Breather, Reflections, False Images etc) production, mix and master, you better run for cover, because no-one stays standing in the face of this deathcore artillery barrage.. Belgian alternative metallers Cellar Twins have signed with Sliptrick Records. Cellar Twins were founded in 2014 in Namur, Belgium. Characterized by powerful instrumentals blended with clean vocals, the band offers an intense journey into a unique universe where light and darkness combine. After a first EP in 2017, the band released its first full length album Duality in December 2019. It received praise from many Belgian and international critics. In 2020, the album was re-released by Rockshots Records. Somewhere between passion and rebellion, Cellar Twins revitalizes a multitude of musical horizons and centres them to create a new image of modern rock music. The new single, Abyss, is due out on all digital platforms via Sliptrick Records soon. Cellar Twins are
Official Website | Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | On Sliptrick Four members of Russian symphonic metal band Imperial Age have taken the decision to relocate to Turkey following the ongoing situation between Russia and Ukraine. The band issued the following statement:- "Aor, Jane, Anna and Paul have left Russia and moved to Turkey. We had to relocate in order to keep the band going. We will restore our strength here, and then move forward - probably to another country. Meanwhile, we are announcing our new single "The Way is the Aim", out March 18." --------------------- - Imperial Age Lithuanian black metallers Sisyphean have created a stunning full length that is evocative, immersive and haunting in its own way. Their strangely harrowing yet emotive tunes will stay with you long after the album is over. Two songs have been unveiled already, including an official video, and they can be found on Bandcamp and YouTube. Intense as well as atmospheric, Lithuanian black metal band Sisyphean have the perfectly tempered sound for this style of music. Their inherent dissonance magnifies their expression, elevating them over hordes of predictable bands, but their real mastery is in crafting thrilling and engaging songs that are both coherent and fulfilling. Everything seems in place and is there for a reason, and they even cover a wide range of emotions, making it a well-rounded affair. Each song bears its own individual sentiment, somehow complementing the songs preceding it, as if carrying on from where the last one ended and doing something more with it. Clearly, it’s a brilliantly written and arranged album, providing for intuitive undulations of extremity and emotions, not only captivating your attention throughout but also moving you. Virtually flawless, ‘Colours of Faith’ is a massively ambitious yet sincere album that ought to be regarded as a landmark album in the style. Sisyphean are:
Symphonic black metallers Katharos will release new album Of Lineages Long Forgotten May 13 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats via Willowtip Records. Katharos exalts the Scandinavian black/death-sound with killer riffs, epic symphonic arrangements and crushing drums in the vein of Emperor and Dimmu Borgir. The album's first single, "The World Serpent's Marrow," is streaming at: youtu.be/_GYl2ULd4tw Katharos' sophomore album Of Lineages Long Forgotten offers a fresh take on the symphonic black metal genre with complex yet unrelenting arrangements recorded in the legendary Necromorbus Studio (Mayhem, Watain et al.). The album rewards multiple listens without compromising energy or flow (in the vein of Emperor). It is an album that easily flows from epic majestic pieces to blasting infernos. It will draw the listener in with harmony and then deep dive into intriguing dissonance. The band sums it up most succinctly in stating that "we are very proud of the album, and this recording sets the music in its right aural space.” Pre-order - katharosswe.bandcamp.com/album/of-lineages-long-forgotten
English symphonic folk metallers Bring To Bear unveil new single "Rising Tide" with a lyric video. "Rising Tide" is an adventurous sounding song led by a bold accordion theme. This theme kicks off the song with a feeling of excitement, but as the theme ends the tone changes suddenly to something a lot darker. The verse is growling on top of hard guitars and drums, and the lyrics tell a story of being lost at sea in a dark storm. Accordionist and growler, Ian Tarboton, describes this as being reflective of those moments in life when we feel lost and confused, like a storm raging in our minds. At the end of the verse it feels like the clouds start to lift a bit as lead singer, Izabela Smyt, sings the build up to the chorus. The chorus comes crashing down like pounding waves from the tide, with growling and singing at the same time. Each vocal style carries its own message, the growling calling out from the deepest parts within us, and the singing bringing clarity of mind. It’s a message to listen to the voice of our hearts to find the clarity within the storms we face. As the song progresses it launches into a soaring bridge of strings and singing, followed by a breakdown that boldly declares defiance against the storm and a determination to not be stuck in the confusion of mediocrity. The song overcomes the storm and returns to the adventurous theme that began the journey. Ian Tarboton describes it as being a metaphor for our lives, where we set out on the journey of life and come up against many storms, but by listening to our hearts (what is truly meaningful to us) we rise above the storms and confusion, and we can continue the journey onwards.
Bring to bear is a symphonic folk metal band from England, on an adventure of making metal with meaning and looking to inspire others along the way. The idea came to life during lockdown in May 2020 by long-time friends and bandmates Hristo Nikolov and Ian Tarboton. They quickly put together their first material and set about expanding the clan. One by one the band came together, each with the same desire and a unique set of skills and stories. Bring to Bear combines the ethereal tones of lead singer Izabela Smyt with the harsh growls of keyboard-accordionist Ian Tarboton, using the raw power of drummer Simon Jones as the backbone for a solid metal pack comprising guitarists Hristo Nikolov and Nik Rotas, and bassist Richard Knight. Guitars swap between lead and rhythm, often play-fighting with accordion, to create strong melodies and plenty of opportunities to head-bang. Bring to Bear seeks authenticity and meaning through music that gives a feeling of adventure, discovery, and courage. They love the adventure of going after their dreams and inspiring others to do the same. For Bring to Bear this is the music, but what will their music inspire you to do? Bring to Bear band members:
After signing to Drakkar Entertainment and announcing the release date of their new studio album Dark Matters (Part I), Bulgarians Odd Crew are now sharing the latest taste of the record. The band drops the new track "Farewell" alongside a black and white emotionally shattering video that will have viewers questioning just what to feel. “Farewell” is the third single taken of Dark Matters (Part I), which was recorded in Odd Crew’s own “ButcherHouse” Studio in Sofia and produced and mixed by the band themselves. Guitarist Vasil Parvanovski comments: “We wanted to make a massive and interesting album that includes both lighter catchy vocal parts and emotionally heavier instrumental parts as well. An album that tells many stories. “Farewell” is a song that can make you think about how fast time passes and that we don’t have enough time to enjoy everything around us. Тhe video shows how fast we go through life until we reach the very last station of it when it’s time to say “goodbye”. Last week the band launched an official fan-club called the S.P.R.F. Crew. It’s an exclusive section on their website www.oddcrew.net - in which a members-only content will be uploaded every week. Odd Crew's new album, Dark Matters (Part I), will be out on May 27, PRE-ORDER HERE! ODD CREW is:

Here's what the legendary Mantas from Venom Inc. had to say about Survive's live potential: "I had the pleasure and honour of touring Europe with Survive and they proved themselves to be a valuable asset to the touring package. I can say without hesitation or reservations that they were most definitely my favourite band on the tour. Incredibly nice and gracious guys who obviously loved their music and delivered every single night. I gave them the nickname ‘The Japanese Machine Head’ a song that they played at every sound check became the tour anthem because of its wonderful chorus structure. Melody, hook lines and brutally heavy guitar riffs define this amazing band who deserve global recognition. Maximum Respect from Jeff (Mantas)" Survive are:-
