Tracked by Max Zigman (Son Of Aurelius, Smaragos) at Parade Outrageous in Santa Cruz and produced by Zack Ohren (Light This City, All Shall Perish, First Blood, Cattle Decapitation, Warbringer et al) at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, "A Never-Ending Cycle Of Atonement" boasts eight conceptual tracks of progressive punishment. The follow-up to 2012's "Liberation Through Hearing", which MetalSucks championed for its "eerie, psychedelic themes richly animated by the grandiose contrast between shamanic atmosphere and uncompromising brutality", finds Inanimate Existence's signature, over-the-top compositions elevated to an entirely new level of profundity. Each movement marvels at its own innovative density as intricate guitar structures coil seamlessly around complex rhythms and infernal vocal tirades all the while maintaining an absorbing magnetism that draws exploratory listeners in with each new measure. The record includes several guest musicians who offer female vocal accents, clarinet, bass flute, harp, bongos and other nuances to the proceedings, only adding to the record's already confounding depth. "A Never-Ending Cycle Of Atonement" Track Listing: 1. Om Mani Padme Um 2. Omen 3. Bioluminescent Photophores 4. The Rune of Destruction 5. The Catacomb Of Mirrors 6. Staring Through Fire 7. Out of Body Experience 8. Dueling Shadows Inanimate Existence's "A Never-Ending Cycle Of Atonement" will be released June 24th, 2014 via Unique Leader Records.

The pre-order phase will start on May 2nd, 2014 one the Pure Steel Records web-shop. Since 1999 the Swiss band Medusa's Child created Melodic Power / Heavy Metal with clean, but still powerful vocals. After the re-release of the 2010 album "Damnatio Memoriae”, the new studio album "Empty Sky" is going to be released by Pure Steel Publishing also. The quintet has not forsaken his way: A thundering double bass, outstanding, catchy guitar harmonies, spherical keyboards and a great voice will surely convince all fans of bands like (older) Stratovarius or (young) Hammerfall! The album consists of 12 songs which are offering a wide range for the traditional Power Metal listener, for instance the catchy "Nevermore", the powerful up-tempo song "Paradise Eternally" or the (semi) ballad "My Inner Voice". With “Beethoven’s Kiss” the band is paying a small tribute to the classical music as well. Without to copy somebody, Medusa's Child created a little masterpiece, which stands in one line with the above mentioned bands. 1. Ipocrisia 2. Empty Sky 3. Remember You 4. Seeds I Sow 5. Credi In Dio 6. My Inner Voice 7. Slave Of Memory 8. Paradise Eternally 9. Turn Back The Time 10. Nevermore 11. Beethoven’s Kiss 12. My Inner Voice Accoustic (Bonustrack) Total Playing Time: 61:46min LINE-UP: Crow - vocals / backing vocals Toni Bettschen – guitars Cyrill Probst – guitars Markus Moser – bass Adrian Jüsy – drums http://www.puresteel-publishing.com/bands/view/274/Medusa_s_Child Breathe Carolina are thrilled to premiere 2 new songs from their forthcoming album.

Released April 14th 2014 the album sees the unit once again treading boldly into fresh territory, delving heavier into the electronic dance world while staying true to their rock roots, a combination that sounds equally at home in a club, or lighting up packed fields at Warped Tour. Featuring guest vocals from pop artist Karmin, and rock front-men Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria) and Tyler Carter (Issues), Savages solidifies the band’s unique ability to straddle multiple musical styles and blend it into a sound all their own, a sound that is as infectious as it is euphoric - and about to become the soundtrack to your summer. Known for their genre-bending fuse of rock and electro-pop, the band skyrocketed to mainstream attention with their platinum selling 2012 single entitled ‘Blackout,’ which hit the top 15 on Top 40 radio, and their seductively addictive music video for single ‘Hit and Run’ which has received over 1.6 million YouTube views. The band's pulse-pounding beats have landed placements on MTV Hills and The City, NBC's The Tonight Show, 30 Rock, and Monday Night Football, and have garnered press from noteworthy outlets such as MTV, USA Today, New York Times, Playboy.com, Alternative Press, and a performance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. With their strongest record right around the corner -- the band is poised to launch into 2014 bigger and better than ever. http://breathecarolina.net/ www.facebook.com/breathecarolina www.fearlessrecords.com www.facebook.com/fearlessrecords |
