You can watch it at this location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXoCFOFfbtA&feature=share With an history that goes all the way back to 1994, Quintessente have only released their debut full-length over the course of 2017. Entitled “Songs From Celestial Spheres”, this long-awaited album brings together ten tracks comprising the most varied styles within the metal genre, offering heavy and atmospheric moments influenced by doom, gothic, death, heavy metal and progressive rock. The tracks on “Songs From Celestial Spheres” are like the stars in the universe - each one with its different chemical structure, age, mass, luminosity and magnitude. The lyrical theme is based on existentialism and the reflection on the forces that rule the human nature. www.quintessente.com https://www.facebook.com/quintessente/ Inferno Records are very proud and honoured to announce this new band to join their roster. Hailing from a cold and freezing city in South America, Ambition is here to reinforce that the Brazilian underground scene is not only about extreme metal (speed, thrash, death, black, etc)... Yes !!! The nostalgic "denim and leather" spirit of the late 70´s & early 80´s also lives somewhere deep in the land of samba and football !!! Highly influenced by the classic old vintage sound of Krokus, AC/DC, Nazareth, The Rods, Saxon, Budgie, Picture, Riot, Chariot, Mama´s Boys, Battleaxe, etc... Ambition is an excellent find/option for all those who are looking for new bands playing some raw, rough and "in your face" hard and heavy rock´n´roll/heavy metal with steady riffs and powerful choruses. We're super excited to unleash their debut release which will be a 7" single called "Burning Love" to be out in the next months! More infos (artwork, song-online, how to pre-order...) coming soon, stay tuned !!! Beware! The ambition is ready to burn !!! Read More Brazilian Heavy/Thrash/Death Metal band Drowned have released the official video for "The Bitter Art of Detestation," the opening track on new album 7th. Get in on the action at the following link: youtu.be/gZIH0e0p_YA 7th out now on Greyhaze Records, under license from Brazil's Cogumelo Records. The album is streaming in its entirety at drownedmetal.bandcamp.com/album/7th. Purchase 7th: store.greyhazerecords.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=516 The band's almost 20-year career is synthesized on the album's 11 tracks, which showcase a varied and unique style of Heavy Metal that recalls the different styles of bands like Amorphis, Nevermore, Anthrax and Bolt Thrower. On 7th, which as the title implies is the band's seventh release, Drowned seeks new horizons, while preserving and refining the band's most treasured musical essence of traditional Heavy Metal songs built into a Death/Thrash Metal twin-guitar attack! The musical onslaught serves as backdrop to lyrics that lay bare thoughts of sickened and deranged visions, injustice and gratuitous violence. In other words: notions that are unfortunately a reality of life in South America's biggest nation. www.drowned.com.br/ www.facebook.com/DrownedMetal/ www.greyhazerecords.com greyhazerecords.bandcamp.com/ www.facebook.com/greyhazerecords Hells Headbangers reveals the cover and track-listing for Apokalyptic Raids' highly anticipated fifth album, The Pentagram. The album will be released this autumn on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. A veritable underground institution, Apokalyptic Raids have become a hallowed name among diehards the world over for one simple-but-special fact: they started as an unapologetic Hellhammer-worship band (and very early Celtic Frost, too) but have transcended their obvious influences into something that actually adds to that legendary canon rather than merely ripping it off. And, as of this year, they've been gloriously succeeding for 20 years now. Although these Brazilian bastards have released a half-dozen EPs the last five years, it's been a far-too-long eight years since the last Apokalyptic Raids album, Vol. 4 - Phonocopia, so to say that The Pentagram is long overdue is quite the understatement. And of course, they DELIVER, which is not surprising given that they've gone back to the classic 2004-2007 line-up of Leon Manssur "Necromaniac" on guitars and vocals, Vinicius Canabarro "Hellpreacher" on the bass, and Pedro Moraes Rocha "Skullkrusher" on the drums. "The last 10 years have been a blast here," explains Manssur. "We did extensive touring -Brazil three times, Europe twice, South America also twice, many one-off gigs - yet we stayed behind in renewing our discography. Don't get me wrong - composition went on frantically. We took notes and demoed many ideas. Sincerely, this album is just a (new) beginning, and the next one is already on the make..." Adorned with characteristically iconic artwork courtesy of close comrade Umberto, The Pentagram is indeed a new beginning, but one that reverently adheres to Apokalyptic Raids' iron-clad past. Perhaps not surprisingly, the album's compositions span a good decade and a half - "There are songs from last year, and there are songs that were composed 10+ years ago," Manssur reveals - but as always, it sounds 666% like Apokalyptic Raids. Tons of galloping hard-chargers, lots of dirtiness, more metal attitude than is healthy, and even a moody epic in closer "The Story of Pope Joan": no fucking sell-out, and no quarter given. "With all the things that happened inside and outside the band, the idea of starting anew has grown up," Manssur continues. "We hate those albums when the band thinks they have become more 'mature' and then...wimp out. Wimping out is a consequence of ego shit. No, not again in this scene today, not in 2018. Meanwhile, many bands of the 2000s generation went on to greatness, and that raised the ante in a way that pushed us forward." Within their now-sizable catalogue, especially one so rich with rottenness, it's both comforting and refreshing that Apokalyptic Raids would make their long-awaited return to the full-length front one that's purely "back to basics." And it's not just idly titled, either, as Manssur explains: "The new album being simply called The Pentagram is a statement of simplicity, less is more, keep it simple, rustic - whatever you call it. And yes, still tuned to E flat, so it's safe to hear and being able to get the riffs. It's all about the riff - old as fuck and fresh as fuck!" He adds, "Of course we have took risks. There is an epic heavy metal song, like some pieces we did before, but with new twists. The planning was long, the execution was quick, and that's it. We always try to get a good balance of 'quick gratification,' though not instant, and 'risk.'" Lastly, there are the lyrics to The Pentagram. Concludes Manssur:- "Fenriz [Darkthrone etc] once wrote we were doing more personal lyrics. And that is true, given we are old metalheads full of shit, except that we don't want to get stuck there and to preach too much. So, on this album, you will find statement after statement of 'upward' feelings - the words 'victory' and 'triumph' are recurring. Not that it could ever spoil the anger! Strange in a Hellhammer-worshiping band? Maybe, maybe not. And I love/hate playing a nameless style. It is and it is not black, death, heavy, speed, thrash, etc. It's HELL. It's HELL Music. Find that out, love it or hate it - danger is a good part of the fun."

Today a new song sees the light of day: Please get ready to “Kill The Silence”! Guitarist Prika comments on the new song and video: “A perfect scenery to compose lyrics that encourage overcoming. It talks about things that hurt you and that you’re not alone. This new video symbolizes a new phase in the band with which I identify myself 100%!" "I like the idea of using fire in the video, because i think the symbology has everything to do with the message in the song. Fire represents renewal and mainly purification, and using it in the video really gives me the idea of triumph, overcoming and moving on!” adds Fernanda. Watch “Kill The Silence” - HERE!
