Germany's melodic thrash metal maniacs Dissorted have signed a deal with Black Sunset and will release their debut album this fall! The album will feature 10 tracks and was mixed and mastered at Dreamsound Studios Munich (Graveworm, Serenity)! Somewhere between the neck breaking riffs influenced by Exodus, Testament and traditional bands like Iced Earth, the band has found their own musical identity, and this fall they will release a thrash metal album that will kick your ass! Stay tuned! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dissorted/ Website: https://www.dissorted.de German Epic Metal veterans Equilbrium release music video for second single 'Path Of Destiny'3/8/2019 German epic metal pioneers, Equilibrium, will set aflame a brand new bonfire this summer with their sixth studio album. 'Renegades' (out: August 23rd via Nuclear Blast) is heralding a watershed, the turn of an era for this genre. This is metal at its most epic and most monumental, bearing huge songs, resting firmly in the Zeitgeist with a massive, modern production and sporting quite a number of eclectic influences. And before the bleating erupts: It’s working, it’s blending in - and above all, it’s still Equilibrium. Quite possibly more than ever. Last week, the band released the second digital single 'Path of Destiny'. The song is available on all major streaming and download platforms: http://nblast.de/EquilibriumDestiny Today, the band presents the official video clip of the song. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/L6TqqOeKFKA Berthammer states: "'Path of Destiny''s music video is actually a love letter to humanity and it's diversity, but at the same time a reminder and warning, packed with serious topics into a strange and colourful fictive 80s world. It's about how people's lifelines collide in kinda strange ways and how all of us unconsciously influence other people's lives every single day. Which is kinda interesting...as most of us humans don't really care that much about others, but we are all connected. We all do feel the same things, we fear the same things and we all struggle sometimes. But one single smile, word or gesture at the right time and the right place can actually change another person's whole life. Isn't that powerful?! Humans are super interesting beings and it's amazing to actually see how an action leads to a reaction, and how emotions guide our actions. All of us have decisions to make, whether we like it or not, whether they are right or wrong in the end...we have to make them. That's just how our universe works. Diversity is beautiful and instead of being afraid of it or even fear it, we should learn to love it. Our human mind is the most powerful weapon. Use it wisely. Don't judge so rashly. Offer an open mind and an open heart instead. Listen. Give people a smile. And maybe you will unconsciously access someone else's path of destiny."
'Renegades' was recorded and produced during September 2018 until March 2019 by the band and Swedish producer Robin Leijon and is the first Equilibrium album to feature Skar with his clean vocals and Skadi Rosehurst on synths. www.equilibrium-metal.net www.facebook.com/equilibrium www.nuclearblast.de/equilibrium German melodic death metallers In Sanity are not only close to become insane but from now on they're also part of the Black Sunset / MDD Records family! The band has completed works on their third full-length, which was recorded and produced by Seeb Levermann at the Greenman Studios (Orden Ogan, Brainstorm, Almanac). The new album is set to be released this autumn through Black Sunset. More details to be announced soon. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/insanitymodernmetal Website: https://insanitymetal.com/ German Death Metal act Necrotted has recently announced a new EP for October. Now the band has released a live video for the title track „Die For Something Worthwile“. The clip can be watched here: https://youtu.be/EZ7AudiK0Ug "Die For Something Worthwile“ will be released on October 11th, 2019 via Rising Nemesis Records and will contain four new songs. The EP was produced by Kai Bigler and Benjamin Stelzer from Parasite Inc. More than 10000 people signed a petition last year for the authorities to grant Doch Chkae the necessary visa to allow the young Cambodian band to perform at the Wacken Open Air 2018. Despite intense public campaigning and strong political efforts their application was unfortunately turned down in the end. Yet the band, Swiss social worker Timon Seibel, and the Wacken Open Air endured and their persistence was finally rewarded. Last week, Doch Chkae were informed that their visa application has been approved and the band will be allowed to enter Germany to perform at the Wacken Open Air 2019! Holger Hübner comments:- "We are stoked that we will finally be able to welcome Doch Chkae in Wacken this year," says the festival organiser. "We sincerely thank all authorities involved, private individuals, and our crew, who have paved the way for this young Cambodian band to come to Germany. Music and particularly metal is an international language that connects people across all borders, cultures, and religions in friendship." The band adds:- "Last year's problems with our visa unfortunately made it impossible for us to come to Germany", Doch Chkae relate happily. "We are all the more pleased to have been invited again and to get the chance to play at the world's biggest metal festival! This is our biggest dream coming true! We are totally thrilled! Thank you, Wacken! Thank you, Germany!" Doch Chkae translates as "dog life" – in which many of the inhabitants of the big slums in Cambodia are trapped. The three band members grew up in what was once the country's biggest waste dump. According to UNICEF, more than 10,000 children live on and off the streets in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh alone. The kids catch dogs for restaurants, prostitute themselves, trade in drugs, look for recyclables in garbage or try to survive in other ways. Theara, Vichey, Pic, and Hing were lucky - three of the homeless kids were not only lodged in an orphanage run by Moms Against Poverty, but their social worker Timon also happened to find the right valve for the angry teenagers: Heavy Metal. After visiting a concert of the deathcore act SLITEN6IX, the original trio quickly formed their own band. Doch Chkae play angry death metal – and are probably the first to use their native language Khmer. Doch Chkae have become a role model that has long been encouraging other children and young people in Cambodia to use music as a means to gain some control over their lives. The band plays concerts for their community, has founded its own label, and even appeared on television. Before their show at the Wacken Open Air, DOCH CHKAE will be joined by Lebanese girl band SLAVE TO SIRENS, TRAINWRECK from Bangladesh, and VALLEY OF CHROME from the Philippines to play a warm-up gig at Hamburg's Kaiserkeller under the banner of "United Metal Nations" on July 27th. The official festival trailer for the Wacken Open Air 2019 can be viewed here:- https://wacken.click/woa-trailer www.wacken.com After their critically acclaimed debut, Antagonist, released last September with Black Omega Recordings, Blackened Doom Metal band PRAISE THE PLAGUE have announced the signing with powerhouse label Argonauta Records! The five-piece from Berlin, formed in 2017, create a depressing atmosphere on top of a heavy, sludgy wall of doom, while always delivering an apocalyptic vibe with a dark and devouring Black Metal attitude. Argonauta Records will release the band's upcoming EP titled Antagonist II, due out on September 13th 2019. Says the band:- "We are absolutely pumped to be working with Argonauta Records on our upcoming release! This coming autumn will be overwhelmed by darkness!“ Praise the Plague is: Robert (vocals) Marcel (guitar) Jan (guitar) Benni (bass) Sascha (drums) Praise The Plague live: 21.06.19 DE -Leipzig, Hellraiser 13.07.19 DE - Heidelberg, Karlstorbahnhof 23.11.19 DE - München, Fall of Men With many more shows, EP details and tunes to follow soon! www.facebook.com/praisetheplague www.praisetheplague.com www.instagram.com/praisetheplague www.argonautarecords.com Teutonic metal defenders Spiker premiere the new track "Kommando" at the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) YouTube channel. The track hails from the band's brand-new EP, Heavy Metal Macht, set for international release on July 8th via Dying Victims Productions. Hear Spiker's "Kommando" in its entirety exclusively HERE. Ever aptly titled, Heavy Metal Macht is indeed pure German metal THUNDER! No thrash, no speed, just simple (and simply stunning) HEAVY METAL brewed in the cauldrons of old, all delivered in Spiker's mother tongue, as a nod to the old GDR metal bands that also sang in German. Classy and cruising whilst emitting a touch of rowdiness that's intrinsic to the Teutonic rivethead ethos, here on Heavy Metal Macht do this young quartet of old souls charge into the night with gusto and panache, armed to the teeth with anthems of indelible steel. Granted, Spiker can certainly kick up the pace when they want to, but their thrust isn't strictly speed metal per se, but rather a hook-intensive sort somewhere between early Living Death and classic Tank, Germany's Warrant and Strong Arm of the Law-era Saxon. You've been warned about their Heavy Metal Macht! The next warning comes in the form of the new track "Kommando," which can be heard exclusively HERE, courtesy of the NWOTHM YouTube channel. The first warning comes in the form of the previously revealed "Der Rock der's bringt" HERE at Dying Victims' official YouTube channel. www.facebook.com/DerRockDersBringt www.dying-victims.de www.facebook.com/dyingvictimsproductions German Death Metallers Scythe Lore stream Iron Bonehead debut EP via "Decibel" magazine's website18/6/2019 Rising death metal monolith Scythe Lore stream the entirety of their striking debut EP, Through the Mausoleums of Man, at Decibel magazine's website. Set for international release on June 21st, hear Scythe Lore's Through the Mausoleums of Man in its entirety exclusively HERE. Hailing from Germany, Scythe Lore are a death metal band in all its aspects, in every definition. Not for nothing is this power-trio named Scythe Lore: this beast is being hurled into the world with both stealth and mystery. Its first manifestation of dread, darkness, and doom suitably bears the title Through the Mausoleums of Man. As that title suggests, the six-track/20-minute record is a journey which details man's interactions with death and its implications in all corners, all depths and all highs of this realm. Suffused with sulphur and fury, Scythe Lore thereby use and fuse all elements of death metal - or "Dark Death Metal," as they so proclaim it, with influences/elements from ancient '90s dark metal - sometimes manifesting itself fast, sometimes slow, but always ugly. It's a quick and cavernous listen, righteously rumbling and roiling with excitement and electricity at every turn: get absolutely GUTTED going Through the Mausoleums of Man! Enter the whole mausoleum exclusively HERE, courtesy of Decibel, North America's only monthly metal magazine. www.facebook.com/IronBoneheadProductions We have the pleasure of bringing you one last treat before the release date draws near! however due to delays on the physical side we had to set the release to June 21st and its with great pride we present Spirit Of Valor play-through filmed by Oropesa - https://www.facebook.com/oropesa.de/, the album 'Rise Of Norn' Will be available worldwide on June 21st as CD Digipak / Digital as well as all digital platforms!
