 Cradle of Filth keyboardist and vocalist Lindsay Schoolcraft, has just released her track "See The Light". The song is from her upcoming album Martyr which will be released in October and features a guest appearance from Xenoyr of Ne Obliviscaris. The album was co-written with former Evanescence drummer Rocky Gray. Lindsay commented:- "I knew I wanted to have a duet on this album somewhere and the more I completed composing “See The Light” with Rocky Gray the more I knew Xenoyr needed to appear on it. Sometimes if you want to say something loudly it has to be screamed harshly and the more I reflected on the lyrics the more I heard many of our shared conversations. This song is open to interpretation, but I wrote it back in 2016 when it was prevalent that greed and prejudice were more valued globally over compassion and doing the right thing. Those difficult times for the world inspired this song greatly.” Listen to the song here: https://schoolcraftmusic.bandcamp.com/track/see-the-light-feat-xenoyr Join the mailing list to be notified when the album releases: https://lindsayschoolcraft.com Connect With Lindsay Schoolcraft

Stated the band:- "It’s time to tell you guys what we are up to! We finally started the recordings our new album! The new songs are almost ready and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Cheers <3" Just recently Animae Silentes released a new single & lyric video for the song “Bring Me Back Tomorrow”, feat. TO/DIE/FOR guitarist Juppe Sutela! The song was produced, recorded and mixed by Animae Silentes. Mastered by Mika Jussilla (Finnvox studios). Watch the lyric video here:- https://youtu.be/o2m5LXbeBSo Next Animae Silentes shows:
Italian Dark/Gothic metal act Animae Silentes was formed in June 2015. In February 2017 the band released the debut album “Suffocated” as independent and immediately began promoting the album with a series of live shows, mainly in Northern Italy. Among the live experiences, the band shared the stage with names like Lacrimas Profundere at “Venice Vampire Fest” and also Votum and Swallow The Sun at “Metal Gates Festival” in Romania in November 2017. In the summer 2017 Animae Silentes sign a record contract with the label Sliptrick Records for the reprint and promotion of Suffocated and made it’s first foreign experience with a mini tour in Latvia. https://www.facebook.com/animaesilentesofficial https://alphaomega-management.com https://www.facebook.com/OfficialAlphaOmegaManagement Greek Gothic Black Metallers Tristengrav set release date for new demo; first track unveiled24/5/2019  Caligari Records has set June 22nd as the international release date for Tristengrav's striking second demo, II - Nychavge, on cassette tape format. Tristengrav hail from Patras, Greece and released their first demo, Incendiarism of Nous, in 2018. Now, roughly a year later comes Nychavge, a four-track (plus one outro) recording featuring their unique blend of black metal with gothic rock. Imagine GISM crossed with Rozz Williams-era Christian Death or later Anti-Cimex covering Mighty Sphincter and you have some glimpse into the ever-growing madness that is Tristengrav... "We've been a band almost two years now," the band explain. "All songs were written during a very misty period of time, where the only goal was to dive head-first into a pulpit of negative/dark visions and coming back with the results and the metamorphosis at hand. Serious introspection is required, and the inwards and backwards motto is of utter importance as one of the main aspects that the lyrics lean towards is the process of becoming - a revelation and exaltation of bestial self, a primordial state that overcomes the omnipresent sinister side, yet without denying it, but embracing its fertile scourge." Indeed do Tristengrav experience a sort of "becoming" on Nychavge - is a compound word that means the radiance of the night - whereby the grisly, greasy heart of very ancient black metal (we're talking the first three Bathory albums here) is ripped asunder and suffused with chaotically chorused lead guitars, emitting a sinister and spectral aspect intrinsic to classic '80s goth and death-rock. While that latter aspect certainly renders Tristengrav's creations more melodic than they have any right to be, they likewise render them utterly crazed and delirious, whipping forth a D-beating maelstrom straight into the grave...or the bat-cave. "We chose to compose the songs in a more punky way than the first EP," the band elaborates, "as we like to bastardize the genre in a way that it is more interesting to us. We'd like to have a more personal sound in black metal, but not getting away from its roots." Sonically iconoclastic Nychavge may be, Tristengrav's heart still pumps the blackest blood:- "Satan is also the Dionysian glorification of flesh, desire, ecstasy. Our way of saying that, aside from our opposition to the modern world of mundane trivialities and lack of spiritualism, there is this eternal symbol that feeds our primal flame, leaving us without an option of accepting defeat but with a proud struggle against the katechon."
Struggle no more and simply submit to Tristengrav's salacious and super-stylish onslaught. And they're only getting started with II - Nychavge! Get started with the aptly titled new track "Becoming" HERE at Caligari Records' Bandcamp, where the demo can also be pre-ordered. www.facebook.com/Tristengrav-566377280386803 www.caligarirecords.com www.facebook.com/caligarirecords www.caligarirecords.bandcamp.com Swiss-Serbian Gothic Metallers Evolucja sign with Alpha Omega Management; working on new album16/5/2019  Swiss-Serbian Evolucija sign with Alpha Omega Management and are already working on their new album Swiss-Serbian Evolucija was formed in 2007 in Switzerland by Dragisa Marinjes.

Dear Remorse is a music video from Arshenic’s forthcoming album Final Collision. The song has a Doom / Gothic aesthetic with female lead vocals, background screams and symphonic nuances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgv1-8UbyHA&feature=youtu.be The story behind the clip is referring to relationships between people living in their physical bodies and other non-physical entities like ghosts, angels or demons, presences of which all of us may sometimes experience. It also can be seen as a expression of loss, despair and abandonment when someone close to us disappears from our life. Final Collision | Released August 20th 2019 via Sliptrick Records Arshenic are: Oliwia Bartuś-Staszak „Ofilia” – Vocal/Lyrics Włodzimierz Czuba „Vlad” – Electric Guitar Marek Turło – Bass Guitar Bartosz Staszak – Drums Official Website | Facebook | Youtube | Instagram | On Sliptrick  One of the pioneering acts of the fertile European goth metal scene in the 1990s, Crematory began as a strict death metal unit in 1991 before adding goth and industrial elements into their arsenal.

The music video of the single is directed by Finnish movie director Jesse Haaja who is known from the super hero movie Rendel: Dark Vengeance (2017). The video is written by Haaja and the vocalist Tony Kaikkonen and starring Australian actress Bianca Bradey. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/7thJTSES3RM Guitar player and composer Teemu Liekkala backgrounds: “Starry Eyes presents softer but also gloomier side of Red Eleven. Tony and I got the idea when we were cooking paella and jamming while demoing the album tracks. At first the lyrics were also about paella, but later we noticed that the composition was worth more than just a cooking joke." Listen the single:
"I'm a huge fan of 1980's horror movies and I have to admit that the story of the music video pretty much wrote itself. Serial killer stuff with 80's vibes and a little twist. Our visions about the story matched right away with Jesse." - Tony Kaikkonen “It’s so rare these days that you get to direct a music video with this magnitude and production value. I think I was in LA when Tony Kaikkonen sent me the first demo of the song and I was sold at once. Filming this really reminded me why I do this for living. Great rock song with almost painfully slow tempo with amazing actress Bianca Bradey gave us lot’s of creative space story- and filming wise." - Jesse Haaja https://www.facebook.com/redelevenband/ https://www.instagram.com/_red_eleven_/ https://www.redeleven.info/  Dark/Gothic Metallers Animae Silentes have released a new single & lyric video for the song "Bring Me Back Tomorrow", feat.

Statement about single: "We chose Born to Lose as the first single because we wanted to skip all the small talk and just get straight down to business. And believe us, we have spared no effort here. This song is an “all guns blazing” first introduction to our upcoming album Neo Noir. So be prepared! This punch in the gut will leave you begging for more." Shot by: Carolina Juselius Edited by: Mikael Westerlund Produced by: LAMORI Thanks to: Mariehamns Räddningsverk, Uncan Photo credit: Therese Andersson BLICK Statement about video: "Our two previous videos were both shot in black and white. So we thought it was time to add some colour. As you can all see in the video, we’re not for half measures. The core idea about the video is that we can all be our own worst enemies. The game of chess could be a metaphor for life. We are our only true opponent. So we have to choose. Do I want to be the me that is on the winning side or the losing side of the table? Sometimes it is hard to tell who is who though. And when we go and do stupid things, then it all becomes even harder. We always want more. We are never satisfied. We are born to lose." From reservoirs of darkness and neon lit nightmares rises Finnish five-piece LAMORI. Uniting gothic metal with dark wave, modern rock and everything in between, is what defines the sound of LAMORI. With Lyrics inspired by cult horror movie maestros and old romanticism, the band furthermore finalize their macabre elegance. Founded in 2009 on the Åland Islands, an autonomous region in Finland, the band self-released their first album "Deadly Desires" in 2013. After penning a deal with Wormholedeath a year later, the band started working on their first major album "To Die Once Again", released in 2016. A follow up has been in the works for the last couple of years and is now ready to be released upon the world. https://www.facebook.com/lamorimusic |
