Music Video "No": https://youtu.be/iNeNKb5nV34 Spotify: https://backl.ink/61290673 Apple Music: https://apple.co/2kQNKGq With influences that range from blues to metal, Blame Zeus can be described as an intense and heavy rock, but also with intimate and nostalgic ballads. Their line up features Sandra Oliveira, Tiago Lascasas, Paulo Silva, Celso Oliveira, and Ricardo Silveira. Since forming in 2010, the band's two previous releases "Identity' (2014) (Raising Legends Records) and "Theory of Perception" (2017) have garnered much praise in their home country along with securing opening slots with bands Lacuna Coil, Moonspell, Cradle of Filth, Cellar Darling, R.A.M.P. among many others established acts. In 2018, they were invited to perform at Vagos Metal Fest, one of Portugal's biggest heavy festivals.
The band adds: "Our new upcoming album will still possess BZ's genome, but it will bring some fresh features you've never seen in our work. It will be heavier, darker, more progressive, and it will make the fans submerge in a turmoil of strong feelings. Fans will certainly feel our same old vibe in the songs, but recognize it has been upgraded, with a more modern sound. We worked freely, with no strings attached, using new elements, making everything sound rhythmically, harmonically and melodically intertwined. We have certainly not made things easier to ourselves, and had to evolve technically to be able to play and sing these new songs." and vocalist Sandra Oliveira also adds: "'Seethe' could very well be considered a conceptual album because the main theme of the songs is unexpressed anger, silent pain transformed into poetry. Its contradictory nature is the liberation of the soul, it's letting go of that lump on your throat when you have something to say. Each song speaks of a particular situation where the silence and the numbness become a vehicle for action and freedom or even utmost despair." "Seethe" is available for pre-order here.

Watch the video at this location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGyMttD8qh0&feature=youtu.be Twin Seeds is a project created by Diogo Ferreira that relies mostly on instrumental music. Drawing influences from guitar virtuosos such as Joe Satriani, Steve vai, Paul Gilbert and Buckethead and bands in the vein of Scale the Summit, Dead Combo, Mono, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater or Deftones, Twin Seeds' goal is to create an alliance between these genres to generate feelings and explore their ideals. https://www.facebook.com/Twin-Seeds-235312296665433/ https://www.youtube.com/user/SnapsterCrow?fbclid=IwAR3tM2C8S_Kepd7S6_bDrWbWule160uYpQ_qGkWeiT_DumXuvDpyvpByAhw  Art Gates Records are proud to welcome to their big family, the Portuguese Prog Melodic Death Metal veterans Morbid Death! During many years, their sound differed from song to song, turning a difficult task to label a metal genre and never knowing how the next song would sound like. Actually, and due to the influences of their new members, Morbid Death sounds more into Prog Melodic Death Metal. That is what turns Morbid Death as an unique metal band. In words of the band: “The band is currently living a great moment with great ideas, vibes, motivation and great plans for the upcoming future. Describing this joy, isn’t easy. Despite being so called veterans, we humbly know that there’s much work ahead and this amazing alliance with Art Gates Records, enlarges the bands horizon. We truly believe in their professionalism, know-how. Their guidance will be very helpful in taking our Prog / Melodic Death Metal to a new plateau and new audiences. So, thank you so much AGR for finding us!!! Thanks for believing in us (Ricardo, Rafael and Luís) and also in our fans! Lets do this!” With two demo tapes, three studio albums, one EP, one Live DVD and three official videos released, 2019 marks the start of Morbid Death‘s worldwide career relaunch and proudly becomes part of the AGR family. With this alliance, the band will release their new album in the beginning of 2020, the year of Morbid Death’s 30th anniversary. www.artgatesrecords.com Portugal's Black Cilice set release date for new Iron Bonehead album; first track revealed25/6/2019  Iron Bonehead Productions sets September 6th as the international release date for Black Cilice's highly anticipated fifth album, Transfixion of Spirits, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. By now, Black Cilice should need no introduction. For at least a decade (or perhaps longer), this ever-shadowy Portuguese enigma has built a monolithic body of work that has come to define and also defy the modern raw black metal idiom. And while he's gained a surprising amount of traction with a wide variety of listeners thanks to his most recent two albums with Iron Bonehead, 2015's Mysteries and 2017's Banished From Time, Black Cilice's vision has remained forever resolute. In 2019, that vision - idiosyncratic, insatiable, intractable - is more resolute than ever. Witness the aptly titled Transfixion of Spirits. Once again, Black Cilice wields sound as its own weapon, but in a daresay elegant manner seemingly at odds with the stratifying frequencies that bombard and blanket the listener. Indeed, this is in-the-red rawness to a superlative degree, surging second-wave black metal to the bone, but underneath those layers of filth 'n' fatalism lies a melancholic majesty that's truly a splendour to behold. And whereas the preceding Banished From Time(intentionally) broke from the mould and portrayed a thicker, more strident violence, here on Transfixion of Spirits does Black Cilice fittingly find a more spectral expression: no less hysteric or harrowing, its melodic misery springs forth like a geyser of grey, oppressive in its omnipresence and older than many generations of black metal itself.
Above all, Black Cilice proves once again that "purism" need not be shorthand for a dearth of ideas: he twists the anachronisms of classic black metal into ageless, endlessly spellbinding forms, each undulating wave lapping back against the other to utterly hypnotizing effect. Entrance thyself to this Transifixion of Spirits. Begin entrancing thyself with the new track "Outerbody Incarnation" HERE at Iron Bonehead's Soundcloud. www.facebook.com/IronBoneheadProductions  Helldprod Records sets September 5th as the international release date for Alcoholocaust's highly anticipated debut album, Necro Apocalipse Bestial, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. Expursed from the vast and highest Portuguese mountains, the underground genes run ruthless and cold in the arms of those that aim the poisonous path of metal, unless you use those same features to warm yourself along with the night fiery ghouls. Speaking of which, what better way to do that than get shitfaced forever? It seems a curse, but in this case, it gave birth to Alcoholocaust back in 2006: The Thrashing Demons of Speed Chaos Beverage! After getting their banging heads hydrated with all sorts of alcohol, Alcoholocaust always showed their musical abilities to the extreme and believe that no raw demo recording could stop them a bit. Instead, and after a successive outburst in their prime times, they have built a legion of maniacs that party hard and unleash the metal fumes like no other. Highly inflamed by the old masters of the Teutonic school of metal, they present themselves armed to the teeth and ready to indulge you neck-breaking aches in honour of their loyal inspirations such as Destruction, Sodom, Kreator, and Germany's Poison. "Show No Mercy" is Alcoholocaust's theme since they care not about the scene or any kind of trendy, poser-like mainstream attitude. These guys are metal PUNKS and provide the necessary SCUM into your ears. So welcome to this diabolical gathering and embrace their first full-length in 13 years (random but appropriate lucky number), Necro Apocalipse Bestial, at its fullest haste.
Relentless to the bone and iron to the core, these 10 songs will tight you in chains and unleash your fury upon the ordinary metallic traditions. Fully sung in the native language, there’s not one single moment of fragility or chastity in sight. On the other (left) hand, you can raise your horned fist and hell-bang to this powerful, impious, and obsessive rocking madness. Mandatory for back-patches, bullet-belts, spiked leather wristbands, heavy metal worshippers, and worldwide desecrating drinkers! Begin the worldwide desecrating with the new track "Assalto Metalico," which can be heard HERE at Helldprod's Soundcloud as well as HERE at Helldprod's Bandcamp. Pre-order info can be found HERE. www.facebook.com/brigada.anti.posers www.helldprod.com www.facebook.com/helldprod www.helldprod.bandcamp.com  Portuguese melodic death metal titans Apotheus will release their new album “The Far Star” on October 31st, 2019 through Black Lion Records. The band comments: «This is the untold story of our ancestry. A painful journey of survival in the majesty of cosmos, but also a delicate introspective about the human nature. When these two worlds collide, something new emerges. Hope, a mission and a destination: The Far Star.» The album will be available as CD Digipak / Digital and will be distributed worldwide via Sound Pollution / Plastic Head UK, and through the North American web-store Indiemerch.
