 Photographer: Jerker Josefsson Sweden‘s leading industrial metal band is back after 19 years! Misery Loves Co shaped the industrial metal scene during the 90‘s and became critically acclaimed among the global music press as well as a household name among many fans. Everybody took the band to their hearts when they heard the band‘s unique and innovative mix of aggressive industrial metal mixed with gloomy melodies and impressive songwriting. Metal Hammer said it best: “If someone were to prescribe a formula for how metal should sound in 1995, it could be described in three words — MISERY LOVES CO." Huge tours followed the band‘s immediate success and Misery Loves Co shared stages with legendary acts like Slayer, Machine Head and Paradise Lost and even had Deftones opening for them. The band‘s second album “Not Like Them” earned them a Swedish Grammy in 1998. 19 years after their break up, Misery Loves Co returns stronger than before but without being nostalgic. It‘s been a long wait for many fans but true art can never be forced. Upon listening to ZERO everybody will see it was worth the wait. Musically, it‘s a broad range of songs but with that characteristic sound Misery Loves Co has always been known for. You‘ll find pieces of all of rock and metal history on ZERO; from goth to alternative rock, from ambient soundscapes to death metal. As always it‘s very industrial, sometimes really heavy but always catchy. You‘ll believe it yourself when your hear it on 29th of November 2019. Check out the album teaser here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swIdRP21QMY  PRE-ORDER ’Zero‘ here: https://smarturl.it/BLOD142 MISERY LOVES CO. will join Katationia (who will be performing NitND) at Kraken in Stockholm on December 7, 2019.

 Fate Destroyed, the Los Angeles-based band fronted by Franccesca De Struct, unveils a haunting new video for their cover of the classic "In the Pines" today via Metal Injection. Watch the video here: https://metalinjection.net/video/fate-destroyed-rocks-this-awesome-lead-belly-blues-cover-for-in-the-pines-and-makes-it-heavy "In the Pines," also known as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" and "My Girl," is a traditional folk song made famous by legendary blues artist Lead Belly and later achieved commercial success through Nirvana's take on the track. "I saw 'In the Pines' as the ultimate musical challenge," De Struct says. "Was it possible to take a widely known folk song, something completely the antithesis of my genre, and make it industrial? The answer was a resounding yes. This passion project came from a place of musical discovery. It gave me the chance to take a base concept and see just how much I could mould it into something entirely new." Fate Destroyed was formed by De Struct in 2016 with an aim to provide a fierce new take on the metal status quo. Led by the raw emotion of De Struct's vocals, Fate Destroyed combines visceral guitars and driving synths to leverage the gap between hard hitting '90s industrial and modern heavy metal. Fate Destroyed is rounded out by Roger Bohlen on guitar, Nathan YoungBlood (Green Jelly/Dirty Machine) on bass and Ben Levi (Matriarchs) on drums. www.fiveringsproductions.com/fate-destroyed www.facebook.com/FateDeStroyed/ www.fatedestroyed.com/ www.reverbnation.com/fatedestroyed  Manchester-based Industrial Metal / Punk artists Syd.31 will release their second album, "Walk Amongst Rebels". "Walk Amongst Rebels" is about survival and overcoming what life throws at you. After dealing with the loss of his home, job, loved ones, and relationship in a short span. Dr Magic, founder/vocalist of Syd.31 explains what went into the making of the album.. "This is my first biographical album, true stories based on horrible situations I’ve faced, every time I thought my entire world was ending. I’ve gone back to all the bands I was in love with during these times to re-live the sounds and feel of those punk and metal anthems that got me through it. Its messy, I cry during takes and made myself sick, but I love every moment. I want others to feel their trauma through this album and realise everything is gonna be OK, that whatever is thrown at you." Featuring nasty guitar riffs, stomping beats, and filthy basslines, "Walk Amongst Rebels" incites anger,duress, and civil disobedience.
Syd.31 is a project formed by front man and producer Dr Magic as a showcase for his songwriting and a desire to create an exciting sound that he would love to watch. Bored of paying big bucks to watch formulaic bands; he decided to merge his love of hardcore punk, industrial metal and sickly sweet pop music to create angry, powerful anthems design to connect with freaks, weirdos and outsiders. Armed with a punk vitriol, a rock ‘n roll swagger and backed by feral stage crew, Syd.31 is now set to make waves in the US after smashing the UK. Expect BIG things. https://www.facebook.com/Syd31  (photo by Aline Fournier) Swiss black metal pioneers Samael release new video for the title track off their latest album "Hegemony" – watch HERE! Samael are widely known for their Industrial Black Metal armed with wind sections passing through shivering synthesizers. On point and frighteningly brutal, fiery whirlwinds of hypnotic hammering riff forces overlay gruesomely gurgling vocals driving you over the edge. Order their latest album Hegemony right HERE. Samael awakened on the 14th of July 1988 when brothers Xytraguptor and Vorphalack loaded their musical gear into an atomic bunker. Almost 20 years after that day the band experienced a rebirth with the release of Solar Soul (2007). The album, co-produced by long-time producer Waldemar Sorychta and mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein, Within Temptation...) is now fully remastered and will be released with the addition of 9 bonus tracks (2 remixes, 6 instrumental songs, 1x live track). After resurrecting black metal in the early '90's with their debut album Worship Him, introducing symphonic metal in 1994 with Ceremony of Opposites and pioneering industrial metal with Passage in 1996; Samael released Lvx Mvndi in 2011, a record that built a bridge over the 20+ years of the band's history by melting all sides and personalities of the band into a masterpiece. Now the album has been remixed from stems, remastered and will be released with the addition of 7 bonus tracks. Get your copies of lately re-issued Lvx Mvndi HERE and Solar Soul HERE!

This new album marks a real change in Schultz's career; a new direction from previous releases which were more oriented in the harsh noise and rhythmic industrial styles. Shot Of Pain will be available as a limited-edition CD as well as in digital format on MAY 6!!
All tracks recorded, mixed, produced by ARTSOUNDMIX STUDIOS (Nice) Mastering by QFG STUDIOS Canadian Industrial Groove one-man project Dark Years From Now to release debut album on 8th March14/2/2019  Based in Vancouver BC, this sonically diverse act is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Dan Potter. Using heavy barrages of thrashing poly-rhythmic riffage to whip up intensity levels, DYFN descends into abstracted darkness and finds a sonic blueprint that’s filled with endless possibilities. Guitars are driven to their most extreme by incorporating experimental approaches in technique and composition serving as a perfect backdrop to the deep, chaotic experiences brought forth lyrically as dark riddles are wretched out with harrowing screams. The debut LP by Dark Years from Now was conceived to be a unique listening journey. Whether it’s the pulsating industrial metal edged aesthetic or the cathartic layers of electronic instrumentation, each track offers a world of intriguing sound and substance. Unafraid to take a non-linear approach, many of the songs are forged with abstract intent even using the words as yet another aural paintbrush, obscuring to reveal. Four of the eleven tracks are instrumental in nature providing more time for listeners in the churning abyss of variable perception. Dark Years from Now will release its self-titled debut on March 8, 2019.  German industrial metal pioneers Oomph! have entered the German album charts at #1 for the first time with their sixth full-length "Ritual", which has just been released via Napalm Records. Oomph! will hit the European roads with "Ritual" in March and while the show in Bochum is already out, ticket reserves are also running low in other German cities as well as in Prague in the Czech Republic. All currently announced dates are listed below. The band is commenting on their success:- "We are already in the middle of preparations for our European tour and we can hardly wait to present our number one album live on stage.

Gold and platinum awards, international top chart entries and their number #1 hit single "Augen Auf!" speak for themselves! Hardly a band has ever influenced the German musical scene so deeply and still keeps it heavily fascinated! The trio around CRAP, DERO and FLUX is now ready to release its thirteenth album Ritual. "Our most aggressive, heaviest and darkest album in a while“, singer Dero states truthfully. After the signing with Napalm Records earlier this year, it's time to unveil all album details of their forthcoming Ritual. The band states on Ritual: "We are very happy to introduce you to our new album "Ritual" today! This album contains 100% Oomph!: We wrote, produced and mixed everything in our own recording studio! We used our time in between two tours to get some fresh and very inspiring impact of the recent live experiences and composed the majority of the songs in jam sessions all together. That probably explains why the songs on Ritual are hard, riff-heavy and dark. The album Artwork brilliantly supports the mystical character of our songs and lyrics and leaves plenty of scope for own interpretations."
