 Ukrainian ethnic groove / death metal band Arhat have released official music video for Freedom! The song was taken from the band's powerful debut full-length album Dead Life, released last year.
The band comments on Freedom: "We are the band Arhat and we present a music video for the song 'Freedom' from our debut album "Dead Life", which was released in December 2020. We chose it not by chance, we consider this song iconic. 'Freedom' is the most valuable thing. This is what we have at the genetic level. Without freedom, any thing is worthless. But at the same time, freedom is everything. Freedom to choose, to be who you are, to live by your own rules. Many thanks to everyone who took part in the creation process! Special thanks to Sergei Subbotin for professionalism, Ruslan Seferov for sincere emotions and positivity, Dmitry Kim for drive drums!"

Salvadoran death / thrash metallers Apes Of God release second album via Death In Pieces Records6/5/2021  Salvadoran death / thrash metallers Apes Of God have released their 2nd length album “En El Recinto De La Tempestad”, it is released as a standard jewel case CD with slip case, limited edition to 300 copies. The tape version is out now via Deathrockersorrow Records in conspiracy with Morbid Skull Records, limited to 100 copies. "En el Recinto de la Tempestad" captures the rage in these guys. No compromises here, only fast death / thrash metal tracks that will punch your soul, with poisonous music and violent lyrics. Apes Of God is active and the current line-up is: Aldair Mejía (vocal), Rodrigo Salguero (Guitar), Rob Malcoms (Guitar), Alejandro Perez (Bass) and Gabriel Puente (drums). *This album is dedicated to the memory of Cesar Canales (ex-vocalist) R.I.P. 1991 - 2019
Apes Of God is a death / thrash metal band from El Salvador founded in 2015 by Rodrigo Salguero (Guitar) and Cesar Canales (Vocalist). In September 2016 the band published their first record production, a demo titled "Holy Spirit" and after the incorporation of Carlos Sanglas (Drums) the band debuted live in November of that same year. In July 2017 the band released their second record production, an EP titled "Fuck Off!" under the Salvadoran record label Megarock Records. After the publication of this second production and the incorporation of Rob Malcoms (Bass), the band made a series of presentations in the interior of the country with which little by little and with the help of said production they began to consolidate as one of the emerging bands more constant and with more projection in the Salvadoran metal scene. After the launch of two record productions, in February 2018 the band released their third record production, their first full-length material entitled “Misanthropy”. This production was launched by the Salvadoran record labels Megarock Records and RGR Distro, in addition, this production has the participation of Diva Satanica (vocalist of Bloodhunter and Nervosa). After the recording of said material, Carlos Sanglas left the band and Gabriel Puente (drums) joined. In 2019 Apes Of God publishes the EP entitled “Procession Of Death” which to date has been the most emblematic material of the band. This production was released by different record labels around the world, some of these labels are Death In Pieces Records (Mexico), Atolinga Records (Mexico), Salute Records (Sweden) and Rawblackult Productions (Bolivia). After the publication of this fourth record production, Rob Malcoms accompanies Rodrigo Salguero on guitar, so the incorporation of Alejandro Pérez (Bass) is carried out. After a series of dates promoting “Procession Of Death” Cesar Canales (vocalist) was killed during the band's presentation at the Green Metal Concert event held in the municipality of Armenia, Sonsonate on August 3, 2019. After this event the band makes the final decision not to perform live in Salvadoran territory again. On May 5, 2020, Apes Of God announces the launch of a new demo titled “El Poeta y El Cementerio de Memorias” where Rodrigo Salguero takes charge of the voices in said production and while the rest of the lineup remains intact. This production was published on June 15, 202 only in digital format by the record label RGR Distro. Later, on July 31, 2020 the band announced the release of their first “live album” titled “MMXIX” which is the last official record recorded by Cesar Canales. "MMXIX" was published by RGR Distro on September 3, 2020 in honour of Cesar Canales' birthday. Official contact: www.apesofgod.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/apesofgod  L-R Dave Sevenstrings, Ollie Morgan, Sahil Makhija, Marco Pitruzzella, Mauricio Catalán. Solus Ex Inferis is a trans-continental, technical death metal band founded by long-time musician and guitar player, Dave Sevenstrings alongside Marco Pitruzzella aka Lord Marco (Six Feet Under, Sleep Terror, ex-The Faceless), Sahil Makhija aka Demonstealer (Demonic Resurrection, Reptilian Death), Ollie Morgan (Necropathy) and Mauricio Catalán. The band first broke into the worldwide metal scene back in 2018 with their critically acclaimed 4-song EP, Demonic Supremacy. Three years on, Solus Ex Inferis has resurfaced with news of their debut full-length album, Daemones Ceramici; scheduled to be released on 9th July 2021. Alongside the announcement, the band has also unveiled a new single off of the upcoming LP titled, "Destroying Malevolence". The track is accompanied with a slick lyric video featuring, in great detail, the diabolic cover art drawn by Tata Kumislizer. Stream / listen [HERE]. Formed in 2017, Solus Ex Inferis came about as a means for the band’s original bassist and co-founding member, Matt Nemeth, to hone his audio engineering & production capabilities. Looking for a specific style of extreme metal drumming, Nemeth and Sevenstrings — both die-hard fans of Pitruzzella’s work — decided to approach him to see if he’d be interested in joining the band. Once Pitruzzella agreed, the two decided to engage a full-time vocalist (Sahil Makhija) and a lead-guitar player (Ollie Morgan). This line-up, with members from US, Australia, Chile and India, went on to record the band’s debut EP, Demonic Supremacy. Soon after its release, Nemeth quit the band and was replaced by Mauricio Catalán. Catalán, besides being a bassist, also ran a full-fledged studio and it was here where the band’s upcoming full-length was entirely mixed & mastered. Right from the band’s inception, it has been Dave Sevenstrings’ constant endeavour to write music that combined fast-paced, blast-beat style death metal with melodic lead elements and simultaneously was informed by the sounds of celebrated bands in the genre like Vital Remains, Hypocrisy, Deeds Of Flesh, Psycroptic etc. It started to evolve into its own thing once all the members started participating in the writing process and started to contribute some of their own musical influences from the different regions they came from. Hence, the music on Daemones Ceramici, while being devastatingly fast-paced and razor-sharp technical, “still retains the core of any good song, (and includes) solid riffs that you can headbang to” says Dave. If you thought the last EP was any indication of how brutal or extreme Solus Ex Inferis could sound, the full-length quashes all of that point-blank and strives to push all known boundaries within the tech-death realm. Named after the malevolent spirits in Greek mythology, Solus Ex Inferis’ debut full-length plays around concepts of demonology and the occult; often re-contextualizing it for the terrible state of the world as we know it today. “The album reflects on human beings as the real demons, it reflects the hypocrisy and hatred fuelled by religion” adds Makhija, the band’s frontman and lyricist.

Socials Music Merch Links  Hungarian death metal band Damnation are set to release their debut material via Pest Records. Established in Makó, Hungary by ex-Thy Catafalque guitarist János Juhász in 2020, Damnation soon evolved into a full line-up formation featuring experienced musicians from the Hungarian underground:

 The band's debut material titled "Majesty In Degradation" will be soon released via Pest Records (a Loud Rage Music chapter) on jewel-case CD format, and the first single, Ziggurat Of The Necrocommand, is now available for streaming here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iFH8ZtMdi4 Damnation: Pest Records:  Northern Irish death / doom trio, The Crawling, have released their new single "Sparrow," and accompanying live action lyric video. The song tells a haunting tale of isolation, misery, and the emotional outcome of living a pointless life; amplified by the fact so many 'spectate' a chain of events, without offering support. The lyric video was written, created and filmed entirely alone by vocalist/guitarist Andy Clarke; solely due to lockdown restrictions, and the inability to use a professional studio. The single is accompanied in physical format by digipak CD, cassette, and a new exclusive t-shirt design (created by Serpent Tusk). Vocalist / guitarist Andy Clarke commented: “Lockdown restrictions in Northern Ireland didn't allow for the band to even be in the same room together, let alone film a music video. I really hated the thought of releasing a new track without a video, as it's something I really enjoy; so, my hand was forced to film something on my own. It's not like our normal performance style videos, but more of a live action lyric video. It works well, emphasising the lyrics, whilst also creating the haunting imagery of the song." Formed in the winter of 2014 in Lisburn city, Northern Ireland, The Crawling use a guttural vocal to combine melancholy with weight, churning out a heavy, doom/death ensemble. January 2015 saw the debut single ‘Choking On Concrete,’ followed in October 2015 by the critically acclaimed In ‘Light of Dark Days' EP. April 2017 the bands debut album 'Anatomy Of Loss' was released via Grindscene Records, accompanied by five music videos, receiving excellent reviews worldwide, and was streamed exclusively by Metal Hammer UK. November 2018, ‘Wolves and the Hideous White’ features six tracks, building on the sound of their debut. The album did well with media and fans alike, increasing the fan base. With live music on hold, and gatherings being kept to a minimum, and rehearsals being limited; The Crawling concentrated efforts on their most depressive track to date - “Sparrow,” coupled with an interpretation of the Bjork track “Play Dead.” The Crawling have spread the misery drenched album through a strong live performance, with support from a loyal fan base; most notably appearing at Inferno Metal Festival (Norway), Bloodstock Open Air (UK), Seige of Limerick (IRE), Metal Days (SLO), Shellshockfest (Malta), Uprising (UK), Incinerationfest (UK), Mammothfest (UK) and Full Metal Mensa (GER). The Crawling are highly active on all social media platforms, and have continued support from Grindscene Records.

The band will release debut album Untethered Abyss June 25 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats. The album's first single, "Mortuus In Perpetuum," has been released and is streaming now on YouTube and Bandcamp. Untethered Abyss is the culmination of six years of painstaking songwriting and a carefully selected cast of international talent amassed to bring forward a finely tuned and unrelenting piece of modern death metal. Untethered Abyss is eight tracks of tightly focused death metal with a production that captures the humanity and unfiltered energy each musician displays in every performance. The band’s focus on holistic songwriting seeks to create naturally flowing and memorable tracks where every riff’s place within the song is carefully considered to maintain internal consistency and create meaningful arcs within the music, rather than meander through detached ideas. Cathexis strives to make unique and forward thinking death metal that pays tribute to the genres basest and most satisfying elements.

 On April 23rd, Dead Center Productions will release debut album of German Death Metal band Death Chamber - "Experiments in Warfare". And today, the 2nd Single "The Inevitable" released on all digital platforms!
Death Chamber is a German Death Metal band from Munich. It was brought to life by guitarist Tim in August 2018. In addition to his Black Metal band Chaedrist he wanted to experiment and devote himself more to the sound of Death Metal. Originally intending to be just a small studio project, it soon became much bigger...
In October 2018, Tim started writing material for Death Chamber's debut. Having written all the music, he played and programmed every instrument involved. It was fast, aggressive and powerful, inspired by bands like Vomitory, Benediction, Nile, Divine Heresy & Cut Up. Double bass, blast beats, fast guitar picking and aggressively shouted vocals are a central element of the band's music. At first, three songs were planned to be recorded with different vocalists. “Murder Beyond Death”, “Leave a Path of Cinder” & “Final Era” were recorded and uploaded to various online platforms, and the multitude of positive feedback on these songs displayed the need for more material. With that, Tim decided to launch Death Chamber as a band and started the writing process for the debut EP: “Experiments in Warfare”. Vocalist Pat joined the band in late 2019 as a full-time member. He arranged the vocals for “Final Era” and met the sound expectations of Tim. Combining both a proper range, and an aggressive vocal sound, he was the perfect fit for Death Chamber. Pat is also the vocalist in the Melodic Death Metal outfit The Course is Black and did various guest appearances for other bands. As a lyrical theme he chose “war” as an aggressive root but combined it with problems that come with modern society and result in mental distress. “Experiments in Warfare” presents this lyrical concept and is covered throughout the EP. Apart from the screams and growls, Pat was also responsible for the EP's front cover design, in which he created a strong visual connection to the lyrical context. The back cover design and photography was realized by Immanuel from the likewise Munich-based extreme metal band Chokehold Policy, who will support the band on bass during live performances. The band is planning to play shows as soon as possible to bring their music to the masses. Writing for the next record will also start soon.

Social Media:  Northern Irish death / doom trio The Crawling have announced plans for their new single, "Sparrow," due for release via Grindscene Records Friday 2nd April 2021. PRE-ORDER here >>> https://thecrawlingband.bandcamp.com/ Sparrow was recorded over the lockdown period, produced, mixed and mastered by vocalist / guitarist Andy Clarke. The song is a haunting tale of isolation, misery, and the emotional outcome of living a pointless life; amplified by the fact so many 'spectate' a chain of events, without offering support. Additionally the single features a surprising B-Side cover; a version of Bjork's "Play Dead." The artwork was created by Irish artist Kelvin Doran from Serpent Tusk; a fantastic piece, uniquely designed for The Crawling, inspired by the lyrics and demo tracks. Vocalist / guitarist Andy Clarke commented: “I became so frustrated over the last year; i felt like our whole existence had come to an end; the endless cycle of nothingness was overwhelming. We began writing Sparrow, a tale of not fitting in and the purposeless of being, early 2020; all of a sudden it became clear we had to release it. We got work, and recorded our parts individually, It was a challenging process, but it worked. The Bjork cover was decided by drummer Gary; the lyrics and vibe fitted perfectly, and it was an enjoyable experiment to translate a pop song into doom death metal!” Formed in the winter of 2014 in Lisburn city, Northern Ireland, The Crawling use a guttural vocal to combine melancholy with weight, churning out a heavy, doom / death ensemble. January 2015 saw the debut single ‘Choking On Concrete,’ followed in October 2015 by the critically acclaimed In ‘Light of Dark Days' EP.
