The release date of the of the album „Sons Of Steel“ by the Australian Heavy Metal Band Black Alice as CD is October 12th, 2018. The pre-order phase will start on September 28th, 2018 in our webshop. The album will be released in a limited Edition of 666 copies (hand-numbered), with 2 Bonus-tracks, certificate and hologram. The virtually unknown second album "Sons of Steel" from the Australian HM band Black Alice is nothing short of a superb Rock Musical. It was privately released in micro quantity, only in Australia in 1988, so very few people got to experience it. The Black Alice band was reformed especially to record the soundtrack for the Australian cult sci-fi HM musical feature film “Sons Of Steel”. The Heavy Metal from the band’s previous album “Endangered Species” was combined with more commercial elements, and will remind you of Alice Cooper or the "Rocky Horror Picture Show". But Rob Hartley’s distinctive vocals and Jamie Page’s power chords and unique blistering solos define it as undisputed Black Alice. It’s strange … but great! Available for the first time in the Karthago CD-Classics Series without having to pay a fortune for it! Definitely worth discovering!

This record is truly unique, and very special to us, and we can only hope that upon listening to it, that the world will feel the same. The record showcases the most adventurous and eclectic combination of musical styles and moods that we’ve ever attempted in our careers. Each song truly has its own identity, feel, and power. The writing and recording sessions that fostered this album were truly an emotional and magical experience for us, creating without boundaries or limitations, and simply going where each day’s musical inspiration led us. Influenced by some of the great classic rock records of our youth, it is an experience unlike anything we’ve previously created. Its time is drawing near for the world to finally hear what is undoubtedly the most daring record of our lives. Evolution is coming. Are you ready?” ‘Evolution’ makes good on the promise of its title. Disturbed unwaveringly cling to the uncompromising spirit that solidified them as a history-making force, while boldly progressing at the same time. Reteaming with ‘Immortalized’ producer Kevin Churko behind the board at the Hideout in Las Vegas, the musicians – David Draiman (vocals), Dan Donegan (guitar), Mike Wengren (drums) and John Moyer (bass) – retain their signature thunderous grooves and hypnotic heaviness as they further refine their ambitious melodies and penchant for progression, spanning the gamut of their potential.
Preceding the announcement, Disturbed engaged their diehard fan base to actually choose the first single – another historic first. They launched a site giving fans the option to vote for a heavy song or a ballad. The people spoke and picked ‘Are You Ready’. ‘Evolution’ arrives in the wake of the group’s 2015 album ‘Immortalized’, which became their fifth consecutive #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200, That accolade elevated them alongside Metallica, the only other hard rock group to do so in the history of the chart. The album also earned a platinum certification, and yielded the triple-platinum crossover smash ‘The Sound of Silence’ which received a nomination at the 2017 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance. Disturbed have sold 16 million albums globally. Their quadruple-platinum 2000 debut ‘The Sickness’ formally announced their arrival as hard rock leaders, with that status solidified by subsequent Grammy Award nominations as well as gold, platinum and double platinum-certified records together with countless sold-out shows around the globe.

This three mammoth sized tracks carrying opus will be the fourth album of the band in their 06 years of time span. No Clean Singing already debuted the track "The Withering Part I – of Hollow us" as the first single from this album (can be checked RIGHT HERE) Doomed & Stoned debuts the final track "The Withering Part II – of Long-Dead Stars", the 20 minute epic composition that ends the mournful tale begun in the previous single. The Band Narrate:- "''The Withering Part II - Of Long-Dead Stars'' is the album's final track and the conceptual continuation of the ''The Withering Part I - Of Hollow Us'' (the second track from the End Of The Circle album). The ''Part I'' is about fading humanity under the empty and forever silent cosmic void, whereas ''The Withering Part II - Of Long-Dead Stars'' reflects concept about the stars upon us, the billions of stars which had faded down long time ago, but we are still able to observe their ghostly shine. By going through this 20 minute-long-track, a listener can forget about his life goals, sense of being and his presence in this world, but feel absolute loneliness, abandonment, void and uselessness, being on the edge of forgotten Universe." Hear "THE WITHERING PART II – OF LONG-DEAD STARS" AT THIS LOCATION Formed in 2012 by David Unsaved in the city of Tbilisi, Georgian duo ENNUI explores a variety of styles within the genres of funeral doom and death Metal, and delivers a refined blend of dark melodies, crushing riffs and technical percussion together with the dramatic and poetic storytelling. After years of intense work, headlining the Shadow Doom Festival in Russia, ENNUI is proud to present their fourth album, “End of the Circle”, containing three epic songs, according different canons of genre, and sustaining mind blowing atmosphere of funeral doom/death metal madness. ENNUI is ready to unleash the album that will mark the zenith point in their discography. Indeed, it's the most dark, inventive and extreme music written by the band to date. This is the opus about the death and funeral of all being, existential madness, and final cycle in a whirl of life and death. Throughout the dismally lumbering pace prolonged songs, ENNUI supremely showcases musical technicality in performance and composition without sacrificing melodic and dynamic proficiency. This album was mixed and mastered at the prestigious Grindhouse Studios Athens. Brilliant cover artwork created by high skilled W. Smerdulak. “End of the Circle” will be out via NON SERVIAM RECORDS on digipak CD and digitally on September 05, 2018.

The song has been taken from the full-length, 'To Venomous Depths', which was released in November 2017 via Season of Mist. Watch the (uncensored) video at the link below. Link:- https://youtu.be/SHXSgMU7Z2U Cloak comments: ""Beyond The Veil" is a song that's grown in meaning and importance the longer it's been with us. It's a song about both the fear and comfort of knowing there is something much greater in charge here and the empowerment that it can bring. Regarding the visual aspects, we wanted to work with colour this time. Being fans of Dario Argento and classic 'Hammer Horror' films, it only felt right to pair the song with rich and powerful colours." The Artwork of 'To Venomous Depths' has been created by Adrian Baxter. Atlanta, Georgia in the Deep South of the USA is probably not among the cities named as first suspects for a black metal influenced rock band to emerge. Yet there at the crossing of two old American railroad lines, Cloak was conceived in the year 2013. Their debut full-length, 'To Venomous Depths' is simply a perfect amalgamation of Nordic black metal with catchy hooks and melodic rock. And while the Americans are not claiming to be reinventing the wheel, their outstanding song-writing is catapulting this album to the top. Cloak have named Dissection, Deep Purple, and Fields Of The Nephilim as main influences, but their harsh yet groove-fuelled sound has invited critics to draw comparisons with such acts as Tribulation, Watain, and Young And In The Way. After spending two years in the rehearsal room carefully preparing their material, Cloak released a first sign of life in the shape of 'Demo 2015', which created an audible buzz in the US underground. A two-track, self-titled EP followed in 2016, gaining the Americans worldwide attention and critical acclaim. In their short time of existence, Cloak have already shared stages with renowned acts such as Wolves In The Throne Room, Windhand, Inter Arma, Satan, and Taake. It will not take CLOAK long to capture your interest, but with each new spin 'To Venomous Depths' will reveal new details that make their discovery worthwhile. There are no fillers on this debut album, just hits. Let's rock this cool darkness! www.facebook.com/cloakofficial Chilean black metal sorcerers Pyreficativm stream the entirety of their bold 'n' visionary debut album, संसार का पथ, at heavily trafficked web-portal IndyMetalVault.com. Set for international release on August 11th via Living Temple Records, hear Pyreficativm's संसार का पथ in its entirety exclusively HERE. An mesmerizingly vast and deliriously dense work, Pyreficativm's संसार का पथ plunges the listener deeply into the Beyond - and then beyond even that. Totalling nine tracks in 76 time-evaporating minutes, this is black metal at its most ceremonial, stripped of ornamental excess yet suffused with a supernatural essence, of ritualism begetting transcendence, of sound utilized as a living weapon born of blood and steel, fire and brimstone. For those who dwell within the depths of the underground and heard Pyreficativm's two earlier demos, where the rawness was almost otherworldly, संसार का पथ casts the aesthetic of sole visionary Melek R. N. in a starker, more focused light, bringing forth a clarity that sacrifices none of the swirling sting on which he originally made his name. Here, the stretched-to-infinity canvas on which he paints is brushed with bold strokes, invoking a fever-dreaming sense of wonder and mania, as nebulous fog and vibrations from the abyss swirl into recognition to create an austere construction that ensnares the listener's very subconscious. It is very easy to get literally lost in Pyreficativm's संसार का पथ , but the question remains: why would you want to return? A statement from Melek R. N. reads: "I raise front of the great mysteries greater, spirits of the life and death. On this sacred night of blood together to you oneiric veil, the key to the eternal dream of the Dragon I invoke you... This intricate work within this temple crowned Pyreficativm, संसार का पथ is a vehicle and ritualistic vessel. To express the sacred words and prayers of the ancient mysteries... the hidden faculty of the intellectual Man in this Era of iron, lets you embraces the true skin of the mystical arts. Dreaming freely through the intricate labyrinth of the consciousness. Experience exalted in the higher planes and sacred cosmic notes are the real material to examine various atavistic passages of this science and art. Through this new manifestation, this temple crowned with the internal fire of Man, speak directly to the inner void, a supra-mundane states, the connections between the Eastern esotericism and the Al-chemy of the higher. Exposes intricate examinations within the Gnostisism and Eastern esotericism. Amrita 181."

While the trend in extreme music today is towards technicality and virtuosity, the group present a more raw and intense sound that gives a simpler, yet heavier vibe. Seeds Of Perdition formed in Philadelphia, P.A. in 2010 when founding members Daniel Loughry and George Cathers, formerly of Insatanity and Polterchrist, decided to take a different direction from past projects. They recorded their first demo, New World Tyrants, in Spring 2011. After a couple of years touring and with the departure of original members Matt Frost and Steve Raimer, early 2013 saw the addition of Chris Natalini on vocals. Chris brings in his experience from such bands as Dawn Of Correction, Circle Of Fear and Blood Feast. He is also a patch wearing member and leader of the NYDM’s Pennsylvania chapter. Their debut 5 song EP entitled From Within was released on Born Of Chaos Records in May 2013. In 2014, came the addition of Chris Kerns on bass guitar, hailing from groups such as Crucifier and Pale Existence. “Crazy Ass” Paul Dunleavy joined the band on lead guitar for 2014-2015. Late 2016 saw the arrival of Joseph Muir on lead guitar. Originally an acoustic jazz guitarist, he is new blood to the death metal genre and music scene. The album Incarnation was released in June 2017 and now Seeds Of Perdition are ready and waiting with the release of their brand new opus Suffering Of The Dead worldwide via Sliptrick Records in the coming months.

Offers Kingcrow's Diego Cafolla with the new single:- "'Night's Descending' holds a special place in my heart for personal reasons and I love the sense of drama that permeates the song. As soon as I wrote the vocal melody I thought that it sounded perfect for the voice of Daniel Gildenlow from Pain Of Salvation. I talked with our singer Diego Marchesi about the idea and when he heard the song he totally agreed with me, so I contacted Daniel telling him I wrote a song that I thought it was perfect for his singing. Luckily Daniel liked the song quite a bit and told me he was going to making it. When we heard Daniel singing on 'Night's Descending' for the first time I was impressed by his incredibly emotional performance and I thought we definitely made right choice."

With each release, they take a step further away from their original roots and is regarded today as one of the most exciting bands that Italy has to offer.
