On March 29th, Whitechapel will release their 7th full-length, 'The Valley', via Metal Blade Records. Produced once again by Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder) and featuring artwork by Branca Studio, 'The Valley' is a reference to the part of Hardin Valley (west of Knoxville, Tennessee) where vocalist Phil Bozeman grew up. Set against this backdrop, he approaches his subject matter unflinchingly, building upon everything that came before, making it clear that he has survived that which he was forced to endure and is not afraid to confront it. "Phil has been upfront in his lyrics in the past about hardships he endured in his life as a child, and I believe with this record we tried to paint a better picture of that," says guitarist Alex Wade, who alongside his bandmates, stands 100% behind everything their vocalist has to say. "I feel our music is Phil's release from his past, being able to get it out and speak about it, and hopefully anyone who hears it that may have gone through similar experiences can find some release in it as well." For a preview of 'The Valley', the first single, "Brimstone", can be heard now at: metalblade.com/whitechapel - where the album can also be pre-ordered in the following formats:
Anyone throwing 'The Valley' on for the first time will immediately recognize it as the work of Whitechapel, yet as has been the case with each release, there is also evolution in play. "Sound-wise, it's all over the place," Bozeman states plainly. "There's aggression, and then you're hit with ominous and emotional guitar riffs. It's mean, but then transfers to soft and inviting. It's a whirlwind of emotions throughout." https://www.whitechapelband.com https://www.metalblade.com/whitechapel https://www.facebook.com/whitechapelmetal https://twitter.com/whitechapelband

 Following closely on the heels of Evil’s impressive 2017 debut album, Rites of Evil, Nuclear War Now! is pleased to present the Japanese band’s third demo, The Gate of Hell. The demo shall be released internationally on October 21st on cassette tape format. Beginning with a self-titled instrumental intro that quickly morphs into the Sarcófago-styled attack of “Hell’s Evil Bell’s,” Evil confirms that it has not lost a step since the recording of the preceding album. This demo combines the ferocity of early Brazilian deathcore, the aggression of Teutonic thrash, and the unhinged nature of Japanese hardcore into three original tracks and a cover of the aforementioned Brazilian masters’ “Desecration of Virgin.”
These strikes serve as the warning shot over the bow forecasting the siege of Evil’s impending live album on Electric Assault Records, the ensuing second studio album on NWN! in the coming months, and, most urgently, Evil’s upcoming appearance at the Nuclear War Now! / Iron Bonehead-curated Never Surrender Fest, which portends to lay waste to Berlin, Germany on November 1st-3rd of 2018. That festival appearance follows during a stream of European tour dates with Finnish black speed metalpunks Bonehunter - dates after the jump. In the meantime, hear two new tracks from Evil's The Gate of Hell HERE at Nuclear War Now!'s Bandcamp. www.evil-thrash.jimdo.com www.nwnprod.com www.facebook.com/pages/Nuclear-War-Now-Productions/114864651994141  Russian Deathcore band SamadhiSitaram release new music video for 'The Death of a Stone'.

 Italian Death Metal / Deathcore stalwarts The Modern Age Slavery have released the official video for "Miles Apart," a track from forthcoming album Stygian. Check it out at: https://youtu.be/Ql1UOkxPsT0 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!" www.facebook.com/tmasofficial/ https://twitter.com/TMASofficial http://www.themodernageslavery.bigcartel.com/ www.innerstrengthmusic.com/ www.facebook.com/innerstrengthrecords/ twitter.com/innerstrengthhc  Russian Deathcore band SamadhiSitaram launched new video clip, entitled "ShangriI La", 8th track taken from the album - "KaliYuga Babalon", released on July 14 via Sliptrick records.

Formed in 2007, The Modern Age Slavery (TMAS) rapidly gained unanimous critical acclaim from the international press receiving the "Demo of the Month" award in Rock Hard Germany. The release of the debut album 'Damned to Blindness' via Napalm Records in 2008 delivered an aggressive sound made of grinding blast beats, merciless brutal vocals and slaughtering rapid fire double bass patterns. Thanks to positive audience and press response, TMAS extensively toured around Europe both as headliners and as support act, like joining the "Evisceration Plague Tour" featuring Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus & Obscura and the "Doomsday X Tour" featuring Malevolent Creation and Vomitory. The band also appeared on shows with Fleshgod Apocalypse, Sepultura, Decapitated, Suicide Silence and many more. The release of the second album Requiem For Us All via Pavement Entertainment in 2013 pushed their death metal war machine one step forward again, this time with a fierce mix of blazingly fast drumming, technical riffing, epic atmospheres, and crushing groove. Nominated best metal album of 2013 by Axl Rosenberg at metalsucks.net, it brought the band on tour again with bands as Gorgoroth, Vital Remains, Hypocrisy, plus many gigs on the national soil. In the middle of 2016 there was a line-up change, one guitar player and the drummer were permanently substituted by already known names of the Italian underground metal scene. After some concerts testing the new members TMAS started writing material for the new album, yet never stopping the live activity as testified by the Ukrainian tour in February 2017 and the co-headlining gig with Ingested at Metalcon Festival in The Hague in May. Two months later eight songs were ready so the band entered the studio and finished all the recordings in July. The end of the year 2017 will see the return of the deathsters on the market with powerful, violent and intense riffing, and atmosphere www.facebook.com/tmasofficial/ https://twitter.com/TMASofficial http://www.themodernageslavery.bigcartel.com/ www.innerstrengthmusic.com/ www.facebook.com/innerstrengthrecords/ twitter.com/innerstrengthhc |
