 Oh wow! Back in 2008, Alestorm were mere newcomers and beginners - and yet they created a modern metal classic and a completely new subgenre. Captain Morgan`s Revenge marks the birth of Pirate Metal as we know it today and turned a couple of young Scotsmen into the hottest band the modern metal scene has to offer! Ten years later and sold-out shows all over the world, their boozy debut gets its well-deserved anniversary treatment and will be re-released on January 26th 2018 with Napalm Records! Captain Morgan`s Revenge – 10th Anniversary Edition has received a fresh remix and remastering by original producer Lasse Lammert at his LSD studios and will be coming with a rejuvenated artwork. Alongside the 'Live At Summer Breeze' bonus disc, this re-release will be a true gem for all collectors, new fans and nostalgics alike! The pirates about their upcoming Anniversary Edition: "Oh wow! Can't believe it's been 10 years already since we made this record. We were all terrible musicians back then, and it was only thanks to the immense skill of our producer Lasse Lammert that we managed to salvage a passable bunch of songs. But anyway, it seems a bunch of you people seemed to like this album, so we decided to give it a bit of spit and polish for the 10th anniversary. NO, this is not one of those shitty 'brickwall' remasters that some bands do, and NO, this is not a re-recording by a bunch of disinterested and jaded old musicians. We've taken the original multitrack source material from 10 years ago (bad playing, cheap keyboards, awful vocals and everything), and just re-mixed the whole album to be punchier, tighter, more dynamic, and more sonically delightful than before. You probably won't even notice the difference! But it's there. And it'll sound awesome on vinyl, for the first time ever!" Captain Morgan`s Revenge – 10th Anniversary Edition, coming as CD digi pack, LP gatefold and digital download, is now available for pre-order HERE!

The opus will be available in digital format, CD digipak and gatefold vinyl options and is now available for pre-order HERE! The band recently unveiled initial album details and the album’s artwork, an obscure drawing from 1898 by perhaps the greatest Norwegian artist of all time, Edvard Munch.
Recorded in Oslo, Norway and Vancouver, Canada, during early 2017 and mixed together with revered studio guru Mike Fraser (who previously worked on Satyricon’s 2006 album, ‘Now, Diabolical’), ‘Deep calleth upon Deep’ is not just a new collection of songs from one of extreme music’s most enduring and reliable bands: this is a wholesale reinvention and a brand new era in Satyricon history. Says frontman and visionary Satyr: “Approaching this release, what I always kept in mind is that either this is the beginning of something new or it’s gonna be my last record. If this is going to be the last, then it needs to be something special. If there are more records, then I’d better make sure that this is so different from the last one that it feels like a new beginning. I think it’s really, really dark, very spiritual and filled with confidence and energy.” 'Deep calleth upon Deep' is a profound statement about the essence of Satyricon’s music and the eternal value of art itself. Satyr continues, “The way that I see it is that for any art, be it Satyricon or any other form of art with substance, in order for you to be able to inhale and completely understand it, it will take a little bit of you as well. If you get it all after a couple of listens, you know that it probably won’t stay with you. So the title is saying, ‘From the depth of the people making this record to the depth of the listener…’ If you want to take part in this journey, you should be prepared to dig deep down in the darkest corner of your soul with us." Satyricon have always excelled as a live band, their evocative performances increasingly becoming special events as their frequency is dialled back to accommodate the Oslo band’s new ‘modus operandi’. In support of 'Deep calleth upon Deep' the band is set to tour on the following dates: 24.09.17 DE - Hamburg / Grünspan 25.09.17 DE - Essen / Turock 26.09.17 NL - Tilburg - 013 27.09.17 BE - Vosselaar / Biebob 29.09.17 UK - London / Heaven 30.09.17 FR - Paris / La Maroquinerie 01.10.17 FR - Nantes - MJC De Reze 02.10.17 FR - Toulouse / Le Metronum 04.10.17 ES - Madrid / Sala But 05.10.17 ES - Barcelona / Razzamatazz 06.10.17 FR – Montpellier / Rockstore 07.10.17 IT - Bologna / Zona Roveri 09.10.17 CH - Zurich / Dynamo 10.10.17 DE - Munich / Backstage Halle 11.10.17 AT - Vienna / Szene 12.10.17 CZ - Prague / Akropolis 14.10.17 PL - Krakow / Kwadrat 15.10.17 PL - Warsaw / Progresja 16.10.17 DE - Berlin / SO36 17.10.17 DK - Copenhagen / Pumpehuset 19.10.17 DK - Aarhus / Train 20.10.17 SE - Gotherburg / Pustervik 21.10.17 SE - Stockholm / Klubben 31.10.17 MX - Guadalajara / C3 Stage 01.11.17 MX - Mexico City / Circo Volador 02.11.17 CR - San Jose / Pepper’s Club 07.11.17 CL - Santiago / Blondie 08.11.17 AR - Buenos Aires / Uniclub 10.11.17 BR - Belo Horizonte / Stonehenge 11.11.17 BR - Sao Paulo / Clash Club 12.11.17 BR - Rio De Janeiro / Teatro Oddiseia 22.11.17 NO - Molde / Gamle Kulturset 23.11.17 NO - Trondheim / Byscenen 24.11.17 NO - Oslo / Sentrum Scene 25.11.17 NO - Tromso / Driv 29.11.17 NO - Bergen / Hulen 30.11.17 NO - Stavanger / Folken 01.12.17 NO - Kristiansand / Kick 02.12.17 NO - Hamar / Gregers www.satyricon.no www.facebook.com/satyriconofficial www.napalmrecords.com www.facebook.com/napalmrecords  Norwegian extreme metal titans Ancient have announced their Latin American tour dates and cities, kicking off on September 7th in Mexico. Check out the tour dates below. Ancient Frontman Zel stated: "We are very excited and proud to announce the Ancient tour in Latin America in September. This has in many ways been a dream come true for us, to finally tour this corner of the world. The tour that took place in 2007 was not with a full band line-up and I was not even there myself, but this time we will bring the most powerful and energetic line up Ancient has ever had, with Mr. Nick Barker himself on the drums!! A lot of fans from countries like Honduras, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, Venezuela and especially Brazil, have been writing to us asking why we will not visit these places during the tour. The thing is, that it does not depend on the band, we would play in every single country if we had the chance. These decisions are always made by the booking agency and the local promoters in each country. Sometimes the expenses (especially with travelling) are simply too high to make it happen, but we will do our best to return again with an even bigger tour next time !!! Let's keep the Ancient spirit alive !!"

In the official video, we shot a real Taxidermist working for us, trying to communicate that the process of recording and album or song, or even playing it live is similar to Taxidermy." http://granadametal.com https://www.facebook.com/granadametal https://www.youtube.com/user/granadametal https://granadametal.bandcamp.com https://www.facebook.com/SymbolOfDominationProd https://vk.com/sodp666 https://symbolofdomination.bandcamp.com  Folk Metallers Triddana presents "Twelve Acoustic Pieces", a selection of tracks from their first 2 albums in acoustic format.

Although there were tries in the past to blend Tango and Progressive Metal together, Bandolirium’s approach to this idea goes a few steps further by including a bandoneon—a type of square concertina popular in Argentina—in their music. About the idea to create Prog Metal music with the inclusion of the instrument, Shalev commented:- “I feel it's a natural result of the music I listen to and my personal background. Great part of being a composer is finding the unique combination that we are and the way we see our environment. Living in Buenos Aires, this combination seems obvious to me, it hasn't been done before just because people have a tendency to keep on doing the same stuff. In Prog Metal you hear very often rhythms and melodies from different cultures, so if we want to do Argentinian Prog Metal, Tango is a great inspiration, also using the bandoneon in metal parts is interesting because the sound is similar to keyboards but you can work the dynamics of an acoustic instrument, and of course for Tango audience the metal sound is something new.” Progressive Metal and Tango have a lot in common, the intensity and drama especially, but even specific rhythms that are used in metal are found in tango. Bandolirium has previously released a cover of Metallica’s classic “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” Shalev said: “I think that our version of ‘For whom the Bell’ tolls is an example how close tango and metal (in this case thrash) can get.” About the creative process of the self-titled album, Amijai said: “I composed all the parts with scores at home, a very intimate process, for the drums I only wrote a reference and our drummer, Marcos Edwards, composed the real drums. While rehearsing we made the changes and corrections; there were many of them. It was a very interesting work, we learned a lot doing it.” "Bandolirium" is out on May 12th. Bandolirium is: Amijai Shalev - bandoneon Marcos de Cristobal - guitars Matias Brandauer - bass Marcos Edwards - drums Website Bandcamp
