Russian alternative rock/metal band Rainfall Today arrive with their debut album Eternal available in all the standard formats worldwide via Sliptrick Records. Citing influences such as including Asking Alexandria, Evanescence, Deftones and Alice In Chains to name a few, it gives an indication toward their hard modern sound topped with strong melodies and performances. Following on the heels of their first independently released EP In Your Head (2016), Eternal is the bands first full-length offering. Here’s the bands rather opaque and unique description for Eternal:- “It is generally accepted that the Earth is our home. But there are too many people on Earth who feel like a stranger here. And what if somewhere far away, maybe even in another galaxy, each of us has a planet of our own? A special place, where you are the ruler of your universe? Red sand, warm wind, deep black seas and endless mountains… or an iron city where people live, without fears and experiences and communicate at a subconscious level? For everyone there is a different world in which we will feel at home. Where things will be understood and accepted. But while these planets are so far away from us, they can not fly in a few hours, there is another way. Close your eyes, put headphones on your ears, turn on Rainfall Today. And listen. Your planet, your real home inside your head. There are no borders. Only you create them! You can do everything! Thanks to all the people who believe in themselves, their force creates in spite of everything.” Band links: Facebook | Youtube | Instagram | VK | On Sliptrick Russian progressive death metal band Skyglow released a single 'Sacred Self-Deceit'. The track is taken from their upcoming debut album 'Thousand Years of Terror' which is released by Inverse Records (digitally) & Grotesque Sounds (CD) on June 30th 2018. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/H-FIvnCaXYY The band currently consists of just two members: Alexander Mokin (author, vocalist) and Sergey Stepanenko (guitarist). They make studio music and do not perform live. The best part of their music is its insane composition, original complex riffs and its aggressive and chaotic yet sentimental atmosphere. Band comments: "Recently we finished our debut album named Thousand Years of Terror. It is dedicated to the problems of totalitarian states, inspired by the political situation in Russia."

Malmsteen, Ruin is the ultimate representation of the Tantal sound. Tantal released several videos in support of Ruin, all of which can be experienced below.
Ruin is available at the following locations:
Formed in Moscow in 2005, Tantal is an eclectic metal band, whose music covers a wide range of the Metal and Rock genres in creating a style all its own: Modern, Progressive, Death, Gothic and Alternative Metal, to name some of the more obvious ones. The undeniable spark that sets all aglow comes in the form of Sofia Raykova's vocals, which range from powerful clean singing to screaming and growling. The members of Tantal boast an impressive pedigree. Dmitry Ignatiev is guitarist of Everlost and Flash Of Aggression (alongside Andrey Smirnov from German legends U.D.O. & Dirkschneider). Ignatiev is also a guitarist in grand symphony project Metallica Show (tribute to S&M album). Singer Sofia Raykova also participates in famous Russian Power-Metal band Epidemia together with Maria Archipova from Arkona.

It will be released by SoundAge Productions (Russia) and Punishment 18 Records (Italy) labels on March 20th, 2018. The band have spent the last one and a half year in the studio recording the new album in collaboration with famous Russian rock musicians such as Andrey Smirnov (U.D.O), Artyom Molodtsov (Distant Sun) and a legendary Russian drummer Andrey Ischenko (Arkona). "Hell on Earth" album was recorded, mixed and mastered in Moscow by well-known in Russian heavy music world Evgeniy Vinogradov which guarantees an absolute powerful sound on album. The first single from album has been unleashed on 18th of November 2016 right after band’s Russian tour was ended. It was a powerful and energetic saga dedicated to famous F-1 racer Ayrton Senna called «The Last Turn». Most songs were composed by bands founder and guitarist Vyacheslav Zavershnev. "Hell on Earth" also includes two already known songs from the previous album "1939" and "Heavy Metal". The songs were completely rearranged and rerecorded and band has even written new English lyrics for "1939" whereas it has Russian lyrics on the previous album. We recall that the previous album was released in 2015 and called "Возврата нет" (No Way Back). http://abrin.at.ua www.punishment18records.com www.facebook.com/punishment18records Russian post-metallers L'Homme Absurde have completed work for their sophomore album "Sleepless", which can be considered as a logical follow-up to the band's creativity, the working formula of "Monsters" (2016), but with more influences from hardcore/metalcore music. "Sleepless" is set to be released on March 26th via Russian label Soundage Productions. L'Homme Absurde was started by A., a Russian musician formerly known as the drummer for a series of Moscow doom metal bands (Mare Infinitum, Comatose Vigil, Who Dies In Siberian Slush) and as a mastermind of doom/downtempo band A Young Man's Funeral. In 2016 the band joined with other members and released their first self-titled demo. That same year L'Homme Absurde recorded their first full-length album entitled "Monsters", which was released by Russian label Fono ltd. Russia's Infiltration sign with Wormholedeath; announce "Nuclear Strike Warning" EP release date13/2/2018 Russian death metal combo Infiltration have signed a worldwide distribution deal for their EP "Nuclear Strike Warning" with Wormholedeath. The band stated: "Hello everyone! This is Infiltration, and we've got some bad ass news for y'all) We are proud to announce that we are currently signing a deal with WormHoleDeath record label!!! We are super stoked to be signed with such a cool label and to be part of WormHoleDeath family!" "Nuclear Strike Warning" EP will be out on February the 23rd 2018 via Wormholedeath / The Orchard. The pre order date is February the 9th 2018. The death metal band Infiltration was formed during spring 2017, upon remains of then dysfunctional band Free at last. It was rather a surge of frustration and anger due to FAL disbanding, that caused the formation of the band, than the intentional purpose. The idea to start a new band originally belonged to Andrew, the bass player (ex-Free at Last, ex-Svartby, Stormland), supported by the guitarist Eugene (ex-Free at Last, ex-Svartby). The two had a considerable experience, so they wasted no time in vain, which resulted in only a two months’ period from initial talks to the actual studio work. The duo was later joined by Paul, the vocalist and Alex the drummer. Each one of the band members is considered to be a pretty much legendary figure in the underground metal scene of Saint-Petersburg. Alex, the drummer (of the Hellbomb fame) has done incredible amount of recordings, working with such bands as Katalepsy, Perimeter, Tesla Machine, to name a few, also he was fairly enthusiastic about participating in this new band. It would take a lot of time talking about Paul, but basically if we were to describe this musician in a laconic yet succinct manner – he is a Death Metal. Apart from the powerful line up, the debut record features the guest appearances from to legendary musicians as well, these are: Vitaly Abramov of Narada fame and Sergey “Bomi” of Buicide fame, who provided their talents to this explosive sound assault of a debut record! Also it must be noted that the entire process of recording was done in a fairly short time, in order to capture the vibe of the material without losing a bit in a quality of the delivery! Recorded at Redneck studio, by Nikita – sound engineer, produced by Andrew and Eugene. The sound assault performed by the Infiltration could be described as mixture of Napalm Death ferocity, with infectious grooves by the likes of Six Feet Under and Bolt Thrower. This is a 100% Death Metal. From December of 2017 Infiltration becomes a part of WormHoleDeath label family! We are Infiltration, ready to share our music with everyone! Welcome!
