On October 27th, Ordo MCM is proud to present the third and final album of Thy Serpent's Cult, Supremacy of Chaos. Webzine Transcending Obscurity streams the whole album in its entirety exclusively HERE. Hailing from the cult metal hotbed of Chile, Thy Serpent's Cult have been a veritable force of nature for nearly 10 years. Forming in 2008 and now gracefully bowing out on a high note, the quartet have skilfully crafted a scorching firestorm of a sound lo these many years, marrying the sulphurous atmosphere of ancient South American black metal to the jackhammering militancy of classic Krisiun, Deicide, and Angelcorpse. Thy Serpent's Cult released their second album in 2014 under the banner of Ordo MCM. Fittingly titled Sedition, Sorcery and Blasphemy, it was a whirlwind of darkness and dread, and was suitably hailed in the underground. But now, sensing the end was nigh, Thy Serpent's Cult unleash their foulest and most dread energies with Supremacy of Chaos. Once again fittingly titled, Supremacy of Chaos reaps a hellish harvest of tornado-torn death metal, deeply and diabolically suffused with a tangibly occult aura. Here, Thy Serpent's Cult span all their trademark traits - martial surge, swirling vortex, boiling pressure - and send them deeper into the bowels of Hell. The title Supremacy of Chaos is telling, in that the band do indeed hail the supreme powers of chaos; and yet, in other ways, their songwriting is strict and finesse and hardly a chaotic thing. Nevertheless, with a production that ably balances the blood-red raw and robustly professional, Thy Serpent's Cult smother the senses with their overwhelming onslaught, thereby instilling a sensation of imminent chaos. And as its last notes ring out, Supremacy of Chaos seals the coffin on Thy Serpent's Cult and preserves a legacy that will remain untarnished. Hail the old gods! They can be hailed in their entirety exclusively HERE, courtesy of Transcending Obscurity webzine.

Prevail I, the latest offering by Canada's hottest metal export Kobra & The Lotus, has been successfully released in May 2017 on Napalm Records. A true rock juggernaut full of blistering guitars, pounding rhythms and haunting vocal melodies that is taking the listener on a sonic journey leading them out from the darkness and into the light. Produced by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Epica etc) and mastered by Grammy award winning Ted Jensen, Prevail I has undoubtedly ushered the band to a much deserved elevated hard rock status. Now the band fronted by charismatic vocalist Kobra Paige has unveiled a brand new lyric video for the track 'Prevail', check it out right HERE! The band informs us: "This one's for all the non-believers...the people on the outside and the voice inside your head that said you'd never make it out. The voice that told you to stop dreaming. The devil on your shoulder whispering "Go ahead and quit, you're not good enough anyways". Out with the hate and in with the love. There's a new mantra in town and it's slamming that shadowed voice into the ground. We will Prevail and we are never backing down!” Evolution is inevitable and Kobra & The Lotus have delivered their most powerful album to date, Prevail I, with Prevail II to complete the story in the not too distant future... www.facebook.com/KobraAndTheLotus www.kobraandthelotus.com www.napalmrecords.com Crossbones have released their new lyric video for the track "That Kind Of Feeling". You can check the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=53&v=PLXdf8OuVSY The Netherlands' Bleeding Gods sign to Nuclear Blast and announce new album 'Dodekathlon'25/10/2017 Nuclear Blast proudly announces the signing of Dutch epic death/black metallers BLEEDING GODS! Of the signing, founding member and guitarist Ramon Ploeg comments: "BLEEDING GODS is very proud to announce the signing of a worldwide deal with the mighty Nuclear Blast Records. We feel honoured to be part of the Nuclear Blast family - it is exciting beyond words to be part of the finest metal label on earth. We deeply respect Nuclear Blast and all it stands for. The visions of the band and the label match in every way and we feel this is the start of an incredible collaboration. We can simply not wait to unleash our upcoming beast of an album upon you. We hope to see you on the road somewhere soon!" BLEEDING GODS not only made a name for themselves in their home country but also received lots of positive feedback from the likes of Aardschok Magazine (NL), Amped Up (BE) and Ghost Cult Magazine for their live shows at Eindhoven Metal Meeting, Antwerp Metal Fest and Stonehenge Festival. Their fan base also includes famous metal acts such as SEPTICFLESH, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, NILE and EPICA/MAYAN: “The combination of ancient Hellenic mythology with darkened death metal leads to a killer result of epic proportions. BLEEDING GODS have managed to create a menacing piece of music that will haunt your dreams!” - SEPTICFLESH "BLEEDING GODS put out powerful and balanced death metal the old way. I can hear some old DIMMU BORGIR, some BEHEMOTH (the raw side) and KREATOR influences. The production is well done and clean, yet not cold at all. Definitely an interesting band to keep an eye on!" - FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE "I really enjoy the heaviness of BLEEDING GODS. They are great songwriters and their songs are an enjoyable listen!" - NILE "Great work from this death metal machine from the Netherlands! Good riffs, sinister atmospherics and brutal grunts. All ingredients for kick ass metal, the way it's meant to be!" - EPICA/MAYAN -- The band was founded in 2012 when guitarist Ramon Ploeg started to write an album after he had left the Dutch death metal band HOUWITSER. Ramon, who wanted to fulfil his dream of having his own band, wrote some basic demos that were groovy, heavy, thrashy and, in parts, classical. When the pre-production demos were finished, the time was right to look for people to join the project. Ramon set about contacting some fellow metal musicians he had met over the past few years at several festivals, club shows and tours. The former bands of his band colleagues at that time were (technical) death metal bands so the challenge to do something different this time was really appealing! After a few rehearsals, BLEEDING GODS recorded their 4-track promo entitled ‘Blood Symphony’ in 2013. The lyrical theme was about ancient gods and history related to the Mayans, ancient Egypt and Greek gods. With the pre-production demo alone, BLEEDING GODS secured worldwide endorsement deals with ENGL-Amps and Serpent King Guitars (SKG) and the demo soon sold out. In 2014, BLEEDING GODS signed to Punishment 18 Records, who released their debut album ‘Shepherd Of Souls’. The record was met with positive reviews around the world. The big turning point for the band came one year later when the band had a new line up, new songs, new concept, and a new album! Now stronger than ever, BLEEDING GODS are a band that knows exactly where they’re heading and what they want. Currently, BLEEDING GODS consists of Ramon Ploeg (Guitars), Mark Huisman (Vocals), Rutger Van Noordenburg (Guitars), Gea Mulder (Bass & Backing Vocals) and Daan Klemann (Drums). ‘Dodekathlon’ will be released in January 2018. More information coming soon! www.bleedinggods.net www.facebook.com/bleedinggods www.nuclearblast.de/suche/bleedinggods Portugal's Dark Metal pioneers in Moonspell are set to release their brand new and hotly anticipated album, titled '1755', on November 3rd 2017 with Napalm Records.

Worldwide distribution will be operated by Plastic Head Music Distribution (www.plastichead.com/) - the album will be available on all major digital platforms! Nyárutó is going to be the 8th studio album of the ultimate Hungarian folk metal band, Dalriada. Album title refers to the folkish name of the month August - following the traditions as every Dalriada album dedicated to a month in line. One unified, ambitious, in terms of its musical keys something similar to the previous records’ vehement wildness album was born, which is still deeply interlaced by the power and effect of the Hungarian folk music and cultural patrimony. Amongst the covered themes there’s one saga from Szent István’s period (the founding of the hungarian state) but ancient Hungarian folk tales, a song about the medieval witch trials, some tracks in remembrance of the “hungarian El Cid”, Thury György (“turkish beater valiant”) also can be found. Fajkusz Banda - the internationally well-known folk band - played a very important role again as with their authentic hungarian strings music they helped to deepen Nyárutó albums folk music bondings.

The track, entitled "The Fallen Will Mark The Way," is the lead single on the band's debut album The Still Waters of Oblivion. The twelve track album will be released November 10th on Truth Inc. Records (Oceania and parts of Asia) and Imminence Records (rest of the world). ""The Fallen Will Mark the Way" is about the persistence and resilience that’s required to follow your destiny. It's a song about always moving forward whilst letting go of the past. With the lyric video we wanted to stick with similar themes from the album artwork. There’s also a lot of inspiration from the trees in ‘The Evil Dead’ - which definitely works on a number of levels.” - Shep Sheppard (Vocalist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gmcsQRcBJM&feature=youtu.be
Brutally fierce, crushing and relentless, Aetherial forge a uniquely dark and devastating sound. Combining elements of melodic death and traditional metal, formidable vocals, intense guitar riffs and epic harmonies define this brutal act from Melbourne, Australia. Lyrically, Aetherial explores the darkest recesses of the soul; exposing what is lurking behind the false reality of everyday life. The stark look beyond the restraints of social and cultural boundaries examine forces surrounding and influencing the human condition. Aetherial’s music and commanding presence on stage attracted the attention of New York based Extreme Management Group Inc. which lead to inking a worldwide management deal and solidifying Aetherial on a roster alongside heavyweights Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Cryptopsy, Origin and fellow Australians King Parrot. The partnership is poised to bring their soul capturing strain of Melodic Death across the world. Aetherial soon after inked a dual label deal with American based Imminence Records and Australian record label, Truth Inc.. The highly anticipated 12-track debut album The Still Waters of Oblivion was recorded, mixed, and mastered in Melbourne at Everland Productions by Oresti Salter. The Artwork, which was done by German artist Patrick Wittstock visualizes the aural ingenuity of the band through intensely dark visual concepts.

The track hails from the band's utterly savage debut mini-album, Infest Cesspool, set for international release on November 27th via Dunkelheit Produktionen. Hear Kapala's "Kapalik Hellstrike" in its entirety exclusively HERE. Formed in the depths of Kolkata, India, Kapala have had one - and only one - objective since its formation: to play the most intense and bestial musick and annihilate the cesspool. Inspired by such legends such as Goatpenis, Revenge, Black Witchery, Blasphemy, Conqueror, and many other violent entities, Kapala seek to wage total sonic warfare with a strong obsession for the concept of "Survival of the Fittest." And indeed, they accomplish that in the swift 'n' decisive 20 minutes comprising their first public recording, Infest Cesspool. A true power-trio that's more like a three-man war machine, Kapala seek to crush, kill, and destroy all in their path with overwhelming violence and totally OTT intensity. Their arsenal of shredded decibels is bountiful, as each riff and drum hit becomes its own weapon, unleashing wave after wave after unmitigatedly annihilating wave. Stripped to only the barest essentials and with a rawness pushed well past the red, Infest Cesspool quickly becomes its own blown-out, charred-beyond-redemption landscape, unforgiving and unrelenting and unforgettably so. There will be nothing left but scorched earth and eviscerated eardrums after this Infest Cesspool has been wiped clean - Kapala's martial dominance will prevail! The next fist can be heard exclusively HERE, courtesy of CVLTNation.com. The first iron fist can be heard with the previously-revealed "Homosapiennihilation" at Dunkelheit's Bandcamp HERE and also at the label's official YouTube page HERE. Amberian Dawn are never at a loss for Symphonic Metal that moves your deepest soul. Lyrically these Finns drift with captivating fantasy stories. Check out a brand new track off of their forthcoming album Darkness of Eternity! Overwhelming and adventurous, more than music: See the worldwide music video premiere for “I’m The One” HERE! Amberian Dawn mastermind Tuomas Seppälä gives a deeper insight to “I’m The One”: “I'm The One was one of the latest compositions for new album. After writing a couple of softer songs in fall 2016 I got a new “heavy wave” and probably 3 latest songs I wrote were quite heavy. The song is very hectic and pushes forward like a train. There's no solo part on this song (a solo would have been quite obvious call) Instead of that I wrote an instrumental part and an extra vocal part. Last vocal part's melody and chord pattern supporting it consists of just one really long phrase... this kind of long phrasing was typical in many classical compositions. I still haven't got rid of my roots in classical music :)” While Capri explains the story: “I'm The One, this is a story about very charismatic and socially intelligent people who speak with the finest words to make other people do what they want in their quest for their own pleasure. They do not care about the consequences or how to violate the feelings of others. They only think of themselves. Unfortunately the pressure in the group is generally enormous and all its members are behind the strongest individual hoping to be "the chosen one".” With the ear-piercing dramaturgy of incredible songstress Capri, their eighth record Darkness of Eternity is studded with stupendous fanfares. Their latest track “Maybe” can be seen HERE as well. To get your copy of Darkness of Eternity, follow this LINK. OUT ON November 10th via Napalm Records! Line-up: Tuomas Seppälä - Keyboard & Guitar Capri - Vocals Emil Pohjalainen - Guitar Jukka Hoffren - Bass Joonas Pykälä-aho -Drums Upcoming tour dates will be announced shortly.
