 Symphonic Blackened Death Metallers Rising Sunset are proud to announce that they have signed with Wormholedeath for the release of their album "De Mysterium Tenebris" due for release on 08/05/2020 on all digital stores and streaming services worldwide. Band Statement: 'We are proud to release our new full-length album through our new label WormholeDeath. With this 4th studio release we invite the metal community through a dark journey of mysticism and spirituality. Very soon a lyric video of one of our tracks – ‘Serpent of Eden’ will be released .'
Founded by Carlo Calamatta, Rising Sunset emerged on the Maltese Metal Scene at the end of 2001. The concept was to deliver a meaningful message about the profoundness of life, spirituality, divinity and mysticism to its fans. On these foundations, the band debuted with their first EP, 'Rhema' in 2006. 2012 saw the release of the first full length album 'Equinox', which was regarded by many reviewers as a milestone in symphonic power metal. Rising Sunset seemed to have found the perfect musical combination between symphony and metal. Soon after the release of ‘Equinox’, the band went through a drastic change in the line-up. Along with the new members, Rising Sunset morphed from power metal to symphonic gothic metal with their 3rd release 'Decretum'. Powerful guitar riffs, darker lyrics, tempo impetuosity, a female soprano voice, and the introduction of male growls, made 'Decretum' another success for the band. This album was an important stepping stone in the evolution of Rising Sunset. The band’s 2020 offering, ‘De Mysterium Tenebris’ represents a matured genre which has since evolved to symphonic blackened death. The album will take you on a journey through brutal, black & death metal riffs, melancholic melodies and orchestration, growls and screams & solid drumming intertwined with elaborate song writing. This is an album akin to the ‘Book of Revelation’ taking you into the dark, apocalyptic and prophetic journey. The more you listen to the album the more you cherish the dark journey, mysticism and the stages of metamorphosis that will happen on Earth as the souls of humanity are aligned with the supreme being or condemned for eternity. https://www.facebook.com/risingsunsetmalta/

Maltese Melodic Death Metallers Angelcrypt unveil details about the new album "Dawn Of The Emperor"27/3/2020  Recently the Maltese Melodic Death Metallers Angelcrypt signed a worldwide contract with the German label Boersma Records. Now the first details about their new album "Dawn Of The Emperor" are available. The album will be released on June 12th 2020 via Boersma-Records (Edel) and will contain ten songs.

This is the third time in Beheaded's history when the band was nominated and won. In 2019 Beheaded released their sixth full-length album "Only Death Can Save You" via Agonia Records. The album was followed by a European tour alongside Incantation and Hate and saw the band perform at summer festivals such as Party San Open Air (Germany) and Motocultor (France). The same year Beheaded embarked on a headlining Brazilian tour with Nervochaos and Jupiterian. Beheaded rolled into life in 1991 with Malta as a backdrop to its caustic roots of death metal. Drawing inspiration from death metal hailing from Europe and the US at that time, and diving head on in the tape trading, zine and snail mail networks, Beheaded created its demo "Souldead" in 1995. With its strong statement and character, both European and worldwide record deals preceded the final cementing of the band as a placeholder in the extreme music scene. With six official releases under its belt, respect was gained through the energetic live set tying its relentlessness to its pure death metal inner sanctum. Several tours and festivals in Europe, US and Asia have channelled this thick skinned aural punishment to crowds all over, bringing more and more devoted followers.

Listen to the record at this link: https://youtu.be/PW0G6qqZ4kc Forged from the darkest depths, "Only Death Can Save You" breathes violence and marches fearlessly down its death metal path. Summoning the visceral classic and the caustic edge of later death metal, the new punishing album spreads its aural horror with razor sharp precision. To explain the title & concept of the new album, the band commented:- "With 'Only Death Can Save You' our intent was to artistically delve into the deepest, darkest corners of the human psyche and follow a creative path into the obscure frame of mind a person has when facing death, which, is the ultimate most terrifying experience and yet the only ‘salvation’ from life. This is a concept reflected in the lyrics and also captured in the album’s artwork". On song writing & recordings, they added:- "Having had a stable line up since the release of our last offering 'Beast Incarnate', also meant that we could work more as a unit this time around with all members giving a much stronger contribution to the song writing. This also includes our drummer Davide Billia who’s responsible for the recording process of the album and this was a key factor in nailing the sound, timbre and tone we wanted to give to this album".
"Only Death Can Save You" was recorded and mixed at Mk2 Recording Studio, run by the band's drummer, Davide Billa. The album was mastered at Hertz Studio in Poland. Cover artwork was painted by Daniel Corcuero (Nekronikon). Beheaded rolled into life in 1991 with Malta as a backdrop to its caustic roots of death metal.

Several tours and festivals in Europe, US and Asia have channelled this thick skinned aural punishment to crowds all over, bringing more and more devoted followers. Years ahead have taken the tinge of freshened vigour and Beheaded is ready to deliver death metal of the highest calibre. Their last album, "Beast Incarnate", was released in 2017.

Check it out here:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_zt1wIp6oA "'Dead Religion' takes inspiration from prayers which remain unanswered, thereby instilling doubt on each person. False advertising from preachers and prophets lighten up the grim thoughts of death with nice ideas of the afterlife, which some people choose to believe it, even though we were not promised anything after death." - Align The Tide
The founders of the band Danny on Drums & Kyle on Guitars/Vocals, have been exploring music genres for the past nine years before settling in the active sound you hear today! Joining the ranks with Gabriel on bass & Alston on rhythm guitar, the line-up was completed. Together, they composed music based on thrash, groove & melodic metal resulting in the recording of their debut album Dead Religion & videos for "The Golden Throne" & "Welcome to Hell" from the same self financed record. Merchandise has been designed & produced to accompany the above release. The band participated in several local gigs & festivals where they have rooted their main fan base before embarking on a mini European tour visiting Germany and the Czech Republic. In March 2018, the band supported the legendary band Mushroomhead on their American tour visiting several main cities such as: Mesa, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Jerome, Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs, Lincoln, Waterloo, Minneapolis, Joliet, Madison, Racine, Cleveland. As time went by, Alston decided to take a break from the music business and thus, Nikki was recruited to the family as rhythm guitar.  The writing for Beheaded's new album, successor to 2017's "Beast Incarnate", is close to completion and the band will be entering Mk2 Recording Studio in December. At a later stage, mixing and mastering of the album will be handled once again by the capable hands of Ronnie Björnström at Enhanced Audio Productions. This will be Beheaded's debut first release on Agonia Records and is scheduled for a worldwide release mid 2019, followed by an extensive European tour (including a number of major festivals), which is currently being booked by the band's management, The Flaming Arts Agency. The band's vocalist, Frank Calleja, says:- ''We have recorded demos for 8/9 songs which we have shortlisted for this album, which stylistically will follow in the footsteps of Beast Incarnate. We have had no line-up changes since 2015; that means we were able to allow ourselves to focus more on the song writing as a unit, bringing in a stronger contribution from the newer members". The new album's title is already decided upon and will be announced at a later stage whilst the artwork will be taken care of for the first time by Daemorph Art. The new band photo was taken by d.catania Photography. Beheaded, Malta's biggest metal export, rolled into life in 1991. Drawing inspiration from death metal hailing from Europe and the US at that time, and diving head on in the tape trading, zine and snail mail networks, Beheaded constructed its demo "Souldead" in 1995.

Taken from the band’s upcoming, untitled album, quintet have stated they intend for the record to be out before the end of 2018. Frontman John Castiel had this to say on the track: “It's about dreaming of who you want to be in a world you struggle to identify with, struggling to survive, and how mitigating circumstances can wreak havoc with an individual’s mental health. In this video, we wanted to tackle the topic of depression; how it can have a terrible impact, and the depths in which it can plunge a person.” On the topic of the album, Castiel had this to say: “It’s a dark record, I can tell you that much already. We’re still in the early stages musically, but I really want to tackle the darker aspects life. We view this as a vital record for Decline The Fall, as we’ve made some serious headway in the last year, playing alongside some huge bands from around the world. We feel eyes are on us, and we want to deliver.” DTF, completed by Drummer, Ehren 'Bunny' Fenech, Guitarists Matthew Mercieca & Kris Farrugia, and Bassist Fabio Negro, formed in 2015 and have since busied themselves in their homeland, as well as across parts of Southern Europe, including Italy and Romania. In 2017, the band shared the stage with such luminaries as Mayhem, Rotting Christ and Lacuna Coil. With big things on the horizon, Decline The Fall are preparing to fly the flag for Maltese metal across Europe. www.declinethefall.com |
