Black / Death tyrants Hades Archer stream the entirety of their highly anticipated second album, Temple of the Impure, at Decibel magazine's website. Released this past Friday via Hells Headbangers, hear Hades Archer's Temple of the Impure in its entirety exclusively HERE. Hailing from Chile, Hades Archer are staunchly and proudly a duo: foul and filthy, yet fuller than most bands twice their membership. Across their prolific canon, Hades Archer have come to define - and set the gold standard for - modern black/death metal hailing from South America. Rabid fans for many years, Hells Headbangers couldn't be more pleased to work with the diabolical duo for Temple of the Impure and other upcoming assaults. Hades Archer was formed in 2006 in Santiago, Chile by N-III on guitars and voice and Infernal Desolator on drums. The band launched their first demo-rehearsals through Chilean label Kuravilu, unleashing their glorious influences such as Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, Sarcófago, Sextrash, Mayhem, Impaled Nazarene, Bestial Warlust, Black Witchery, Inquisition, and more. Later in 2007, Hateaxes Command came in on drums. With this new line-up, the duo recorded the Penis Metal and Gloria Rex Infernvs EPs - released in 2008 and 2010, respectively - and their debut album, 2011's For The Diabolical Ages. This cult era is considered by Hades Archer where the band's history truly began. In 2012, Hateaxes Command departed and was replaced by Skullcrusher Hammers, due to N-III’s move to Valdivia years before. With this line-up, Hades Archer launched a number of live rituals and recorded the mini-album The Curse Over Mankind. Two years later came the Circus of Abominations split mini-album with new labelmates Slaughtbbath. Once more due to Skullcrusher Hammers moving to another city and foregoing Hades Archer embarking upon future tours, the year 2015 saw the return of Hateaxes Command to record the EP Unus Cantus Bestiae, which was later reissued as a split with Japan's legendary Sabbat. But, at long last, now arrives Temple of the Impure: the grand culmination of Hades Archer's hard graft in the underground the past decade-plus, and a grimy new jewel in the reigning crown of Chilean black/death. The band's first new recordings in two years, Temple of the Impure proves that the silence was indeed golden, for LP#2 is a fucking firestorm of filth and foulness, a forever-flowing fount of unnervingly hypnotic ultra-violence. Both defining and deviating from the classic Chilean archetype, Temple of the Impure sees Hades Archer simultaneously surpassing the boundaries of chaotic overload and somehow delivering their most diseased and dirt-encrusted expression by paradoxically locating their cleanest and most professional recording to date. A dicey move in most bands' hands, but here, the pay-off speaks for itself: Temple of the Impure is precisely THAT, and it can be heard in gleamingly 3D tones, thereby maximizing the palpably physical possession it invokes within the listener. Total and utter diabolism across a dozen tracks in 34 minutes, Temple of the Impure kicks in immediately and thoroughly assaults the senses for its entire duration, along the way finessing forth deft 'n' dynamic downshifts and martial headbanging moments. Aptly titled as anything currently out there, Temple of the Impure is the foundation on which Hades Archer hereby assert their dominance across the nowadays underground metal scene. Behold mastery, and bow down. Behold that mastery and bow down entirely HERE, courtesy of Decibel, North America's only monthly metal magazine.

If you want to stay in touch with us and get updates on the campaign follow us on https://www.facebook.com/AfterlifeSymphony/". http://www.revalverecords.com/AfterlifeSymphony.html With the recent release of their ninth studio album, 'Deep Calleth Upon Deep', black metal groundbreakers Satyricon have proven they still lead the way in extreme music. Today they unveil a brand new video for the track 'To your brethren in the dark'. Check it out HERE! Speaking about the new video, frontman and band visionary, Satyr shares his thoughts:- "I wanted 'To your brethren in the dark' to be a director’s interpretation of the song, rather than a band performance type of thing. Seeing what we do through the eyes of another artist is always interesting to me and just like the song, the video has become a little bit of a journey on it's own. 'To your brethren in the dark' is definitely one of the flagship songs on the record. It is about emotion, our nature, the spirits, the autumn, the sombre and rainy days, those who we lost and the ones who we have not met yet. You could say it is a tribute to the sorrow in man and to the drama of the nature we surround ourselves with. A song for the dark towers of the past and those who will rise in the future. Pass the torch to your brethren in the dark." 'Deep Calleth Upon Deep' was released on 22nd September via Napalm Records and has been critically lauded by both fans and media, with the band appearing on numerous magazine covers across the globe. The album is available in digital edition, CD digipak and gatefold vinyl.

Check it out at https://youtu.be/rtrr1T43eOE Innerstrength Records will release Stygian on November 24. Pre-orders are available at: https://innerstrengthrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-modern-age-slavery-stygian Coming almost four years since the release of critically acclaimed 2013 release Requiem for Us All (Pavement), the level-jumping blast of intensity on the band's Innerstrength debut is the result of miles logged and the already dynamic songwriting honed to a fine point. The band has released the following statement about the new album: "With this new album we tried to make another step forward in the evolution of our sound: what you'll hear it's a quite obscure atmosphere delivering a sullen and evil experience, yet keeping the heaviness of the death metal matrix that marked our music in the previous albums. The lyrics are all inspired by a common theme, from which the name "Stygian" and the correlated artwork come from, discussing the questionable matter of the human evolution leading men to a slow but inevitable mutation into a being that lost his mind and compassion devoured by greediness and will to power. All the pieces of the puzzle are perfectly pondered to create an album made of passion, of anger, and real emotions. This is the The Modern Age's album!" A lyric video for "The Reprisal Within" is available at https://youtu.be/n93ubas2XKE www.facebook.com/tmasofficial/ https://twitter.com/TMASofficial http://www.themodernageslavery.bigcartel.com/ www.innerstrengthmusic.com/ www.facebook.com/innerstrengthrecords/ twitter.com/innerstrengthhc Amplified Memory are primed and ready for the release of their forthcoming album Vas Hermeticum. The German prog rockers have worked long and hard on Vas Hermeticum and feel they have put together their best recorded work yet, pushing and embellishing on their already wide-ranging and complex style. Dreams, recurring patterns, reminiscences, desires, the question about reality or simply the longing for the vast, undiscovered universe. These are the focus of German group Amplified Memory, who have been working on their own musical conception of melodic death metal since 2008. Regardless of whether the songs are doom/black metal ballads, stomping mid-tempo beasts or fast death metal, Amplified Memory stand for an innovative mixture of different metal sub-genres with a focus on 90’s melodic death metal. Here’s the album description in the bands own words; “The psyche of a person can metaphorically be understood as a hermetically sealed alchemic glass vessel – a ‘vas hermeticum’ – in which the condensation processes resemble the human ability to intellectualize (sublimate) and then realize (concretize) psychic content, therefore to reflect on it. Alchemists called this procedure inside this symbolic cosmic uterus ‘solve et coagula’. Amplified Memory’s highly conceptual album Vas Hermeticum deals with the philosophical nature of dream and reality. On nine energetic, emotional, captivating songs and a hypnotically beautiful intro track they explore the world of hallucinations, near-death experiences and oneiric states as well as the questions for self-perception and the separation of those realms from what we call reality.” Vas Hermeticum | Released October 20th, 2017 on Sliptrick Records Amplified Memory are: Wolfgang Paulini – Vocals Christoph Lamprecht – Guitar Eley Ellmer – Guitar Felix Indra – Drums Michael Bichler-Thal – Bass Simon Bodesheim – Keyboard and Piano Facebook | Youtube |
