To celebrate the release, the band unveils the official lyric video of the title track. The video has been created by Stefano Mastronicola.

“Renegades” has been inspired by the climate of contemporary social intolerance and racial hate. The song is an anthem written for people considered to be different who are abandoned, persecuted and discriminated because of their religion, race, system of belief, gender, and more. Bass player and author of the lyrics, Alessio Sessa, states: - "One day we could be rejected and lose our freedom. Our freedom of speech or simply of being alive. We risk to fall down in the dark. The night is fragile as a piece of paper, where someone put his own life to escape from a prison”. Eternal Silence are: Marika Vanni: Vocals Alberto Cassina: Guitars and Vocals Enzo Criscuolo: Guitars Alessio Sessa: Bass Andrea Zannin: Drums www.eternalsilence.band www.facebook.com/eternalsilencemusic www.sliptrickrecords.com www.facebook.com/sliptrickrecords

 Belgian post metal alchemists Hamelin premiere their debut EP "Hamelin" via No Clean Singing The record is set for international release on November 30th, 2019 via Wolves of Hades on LP and on CD by the band. Recently New Noise Magazine hosted the official premiere of the "Below the Waves" single HERE! George De Decker is responsible for the EP's stunning artwork, which is available above. The official video of the EP's first single, "Nadir", was launched on YouTube HERE.
Buried deep in the consciousness of four divergent souls from Mechelen grew a beast enchained by melancholy named Hamelin. Though they are in the process of releasing their first EP, they are in no way new to the scene. With all of them having a background in Belgium’s metal scene and coming from different bands and projects, you might just find yourself impressed by their unique sound and dynamic. The combined musical backgrounds of their members fell effortlessly into place, pushing a sound that is characterised by a strong atmosphere and melody drifting between melancholy and hope, longing for light as we drift further into the void. With haunting and calm riffs, cathartic vocals, pounding and yet serene drums and a dynamic composition Hamelin’s debut EP will drag the listener through a sorrowful journey into a maelstrom of blackened and atmospheric metal. Line-up: Jason Bond - Guitar Casper De Decker - Vocals, Keys Jesse Massant - Bass Jan Dries - Drums Pre-order:
Watch for new tour updates, and more news on other upcoming Hamelin activities to be posted shortly. https://www.facebook.com/Hamelin-544360466075937/  Hells Headbangers announces December 27th as the international release date for Cianide's highly anticipated new mini-album, Unhumanized, on CD, 12" vinyl, and cassette tape formats. One of the cult names in American death metal, Cianide have stuck to their guns for over 30 years now, patiently building a canon that's unrivalled in its consistency and trend-free philosophy. Theirs is a Metal of Death that's simple, straightforward, and effectively primitive: blunt-force trauma informed by Hellhammer and Chicago forebears DeathStrike, but with a sewer-dredging atmosphere all its own.
Cianide's rich discography reads like a study in unselfconsciousness: one could say the power-trio are strategic in how sparingly they release longer-form records, but they simply release records when they're ready, prizing quality over quantity. And indeed, the five-song/26-minute Unhumanized is a gutbusting bounty of QUALITY. Cianide's first non-split recording since the massively acclaimed Gods of Death LP in 2011 courtesy of Hells Headbangers, Unhumanized proves that the power-trio are hungrier and more energetic than ever. No great changes in their signature sound here - just time-honoured traditions like DEATH, headbanging gallops, and immediately memorable songwriting. If anything, the production on Unhumanized is among their clearest yet, but simply adds to how utterly CRUSHING that Cianide signature is. Death, doom, destruction: 31 years strong, Cianide have become Unhumanized! Get unhumanized by the previously revealed track "Serpent's Wake" HERE at Hells Headbangers' Bandcamp, where all three formats can be pre-ordered. www.cianide.bandcamp.com www.hellsheadbangers.com www.facebook.com/hellsheadbangers  Segmentia is a Finnish pop metal act founded in April 2019 in the city of Seinäjoki.

The EP is released as a limited CD pressing and it's also available on music services world wide.

The band manages to give the original glam metal track by Teaze an unexpected, modern power metal twist. Combining that with an astonishingly wide range of vocal melodies, Unleash The Archers surprise and bewitch the listener yet again. A clean guitar intro makes you feel almost melancholic, but when the second chorus hits, at the very least, you’ll be tapping your foot. “Heartless World” describes how everything can become too much from time to time, and that sometimes all you need is to unplug and recharge your energy. Watch the lyric video accompanying the single below and lose yourself in an FM headphone high! Watch The Lyric Video For “Heartless World” HERE:  [ album artwork: Dusty Peterson ] Unleash The Archers on “Heartless World”, fresh off the new EP Explorers: “The second single is a cover of a song by a Canadian hair metal band from the 80's called Teaze. They are not super well known, but that's why we gravitated towards them. The song “Heartless World” has a really interesting arrangement and can't seem to decide if it's a ballad or a rock opera. Unlike “Northwest Passage”, where we played around with it quite a bit, we left “Heartless World” almost completely as is, and only changed a few small things like solos and vocal melodies. We thought it would be a great companion piece to “Northwest Passage” and really round out the moody Explorers vibe.” Buy The New EP Explorers HERE! Unleash The Archers newest EP Explorers is out now! It’s available via the Napalm Records Store in the following formats and includes both singles “Northwest Passage” and “Heartless World”:
Homepage Napalm Records Swiss Black Metallers Temple Ov Perversion stream their debut EP via "Decibel" magazine's website19/10/2019  Ancient Black Metal upstarts Temple Ov Perversion stream the entirety of their striking self-titled debut EP at Decibel magazine's website. Set for international release on October 18th via Clavis Secretorvm on classic 12" vinyl format, hear Temple Ov Perversion's self-titled EP in its entirety exclusively HERE. Hailing from Switzerland, Temple Ov Perversion are a young band with old souls. The band's first demo, Rehearsal MMXVII, was a rough 'n' ready display of their ancient, witching metal, suggesting salacious glories to come. Alas, they have arrived with Temple Ov Perversion, a veritable bounty of black filth, lust, and sleaze. Despite its release in the year 2019, one could mistake Temple Ov Perversion's true opening salvo as some long-lost relic of the early '90s, announced on fliers that a release was forthcoming on Deathlike Silence Productions; cult names invoked include Hadez, Imperator, Mortem, and Hungary's Tormentor. Four songs in 20 minutes, each as stout and swaggering as the next, and what you altogether get is a loose 'n' lawless expurse of sonic sodomy that's immediately headbanging and evil as fuck: no scenes, no rules, NO LIGHT! Temple Ov Perversion play black metal in the old vein exclusively!
Even though it's international release was yesterday, you can still hear Temple ov Perversion in its entirety exclusively HERE. www.facebook.com/Temple-Ov-Perversion-153157598752317 www.clavisecretorvm.com www.clavisecretorvm.bandcamp.com  Iranian death metal cult Nex Carnis stream the entirety of their highly anticipated new EP, Black Eternity, at Decibel magazine's website. Set for international release on September 27th via Blood Harvest Records on 7" vinyl format, hear Nex Carnis' Black Eternity in its entirety exclusively HERE. Hailing from Iran and with an album and demo to their name, Nex Carnis are a steadily rising force, wisely parcelling out their releases - Black Eternity makes three total since 2012 - and delivering quality over quantity every step of the way. This new two-song 7" is no different, and shows that Nex Carnis are effortlessly making their Metal of Death craft that much more powerful and provocative. Utterly dark and disgusting, hammering and dizzying in equal measure, Black Eternity indeed sounds much like its title and suitably drags the listener down into labyrinth after labyrinth of untold horror. And yet, for however vile 'n' virulent the band's brand of death metal may be, there's a strangely hummable magic to it that further elevates Nex Carnis' classicism. Behold Black Eternity and begin drowning in DEATH! Drums on this EP were recorded by Alvaro Sequeida (Occidens, Melektaus, Godagainst).
In the lead-up to its international release this Friday, hear Black Eternity in its entirety exclusively HERE, courtesy of Decibel, North America's only monthly metal magazine.

Two-songs with melodic guitar leads and solos with Alla’s wide ranging voice that ranges from brutal screams to soulful clean singing to give interesting impact to heavy music. About the EP Alla Bulgakova (Bagira’s vocalist) says:- “We live in Russia, we play our music in Russia, we love our Russian listeners. But we wanna say powerful 'Hello World!' with our new EP. It’s my desperate hymn. I took the piece of my soul and put it into these two songs. So... That’s what we do here, in Russia, and I hope - you’ll enjoy it”. Listen "From Russia With Groove" on Spotify Buy "From Russia With Groove" on iTunes
Bagira is a Russian groove metal band from Kazan, Tatarstan, formed in 2011 by Alla Bulgakova and Alexander Shadrov. Bagira’s current line-up consists of vocalist Alla Bulgakova, guitarists Alexandr Shadrov and Gleb Vodennikov, bassist Rival Zakirov and drummer Bulat Sadreev. The band was originally played songs like classic heavy metal with melodic vocals parts, but over the time Bagira’s music has progressed and has become more extreme with clean and extreme vocal elements. Bagira has released 3 full-length albums, several singles and many bootlegs (cover versions on some popular Russian - and English-language songs, demos from studio). Their third studio album "Scars" was released on February 7th, 2017 by Fono Ltd. In 2018, Bagira recorded three singles in their own studio by Alexandr Shadrov’s production, mixing and mastering. Although the Russian-language releases didn’t land on any charts, it attracted the interest of non-Russian listeners. After that Bagira was re-recording two of their songs, "Whisper" (previously released in 2015) and "Shadow" (previously released in 2018), with new sound and with English-language lyrics. It was called as “From Russia With Groove”. FACEBOOK | WEB  Chile's premier thrash band Ripper have launched the exclusive premiere of the title track from their forthcoming new EP, Sensory Stagnation. The stream is online now at No Clean Singing, who had this to say about the track: “It keeps things fierce and fast. Imagine early Kreator being covered by Watchtower and you might be honing in on the Ripper sound. And while the promo material name-checks Atheist, it is just as appropriate to mention Sadus, who also constructed technical Death Thrash, and at least on Swallowed in Black, they stood with the best of them. And while Sadus had Steve Digorgio on bass, Ripper has its own bass virtuoso in the form of Pablo Cortés, whose awe-inspiring lines are a constant throughout this release.” Check out "Sensory Stagnation" at this location. Sensory Stagnation is coming September 30th on CD, cassette and digital platforms from Unspeakable Axe Records, with a vinyl release to follow from Dark Descent Records.
The high-speed thrashing and intricate riffs are still there, as well as the philosophical lyrics and incomprehensibly good bass work. But the band has leaned a little further into their progressive influences, with a more pronounced presence of Atheist riding shotgun with their usual Teutonic and South American thrash forerunners. The result is an outing that feels rich despite a run time of roughly 20 minutes, loaded with some of the band's best playing and most fascinating ideas to date RIPPER is: Nicolás Villanueva - Drums Venus Torment - Guitar /Vocals Pablo Cortés - Bass Daniel Poblete - Guitars facebook.com/ripperchileoficial ripperdeathrashchile.bandcamp.com unspeakableaxerecords.com facebook.com/UnspeakableAxeRecords unspeakableaxerecords.bandcamp.com  Blood Harvest Records has set September 27th as the international release date for a brand-new EP from Nex Carnis, Black Eternity, on 7" vinyl format.
