And what better way to celebrate this event with a studio announcement from the masters of horror themselves; Carach Angren! The band is currently in studio for the recordings of their 6(66)th full length which, will be released via Season of Mist in 2020. Drummer Namtar has kicked off the recording last week at the Tidal Wave Studio in Germany. Carach Angren comment:- "After many incredible tours meeting our dedicated fans around the globe, we finally return to the studio! Over the past two years a lot of creativity and effort has already flown into preparing our sixth monstrous full length album. For recording drums, bass and guitars we return to familiar grounds, working with the talented Patrick Damiani at his Tidal Wave Studio in Germany while vocals and orchestral arrangements are being prepared in our own crypt. For the mix of the album we welcome a new force, namely Robert Carranza (Marilyn Manson), who's work up until now has impressed us very much. Get ready for another chapter of horror!" With 'Dance and Laugh amongst the Rotten', Carach Angren are returning to "pure" storytelling with episodes that are centred on a girl playing a little too long with her Ouija board. The Dutch have pushed their unashamedly theatrical style to a new intense height. You do not believe us yet? Press play and unleash these radiant ghosts into your home… www.carach-angren.nl www.facebook.com/carachangren  (photo: Peter Beste) Norwegian thrash metal masters Inculter entered studios in Bergen in November to commence recording of their long-awaited follow-up to their 2015 debut, Persisting Devolution. So, what better opportunity than to send in Edged Circle Productions' very own Linn into the studio to get a full update on the recording, and why can't they just call themselves a Bergen band and get over with it!? The full video report, edited by Necro Lust Productions, can be seen in its entirety HERE. Inculter has built a strong following since their first album was released by Edged Circle and have performed as special invited guests to several sold-out shows from titans such as Mayhem and Kvelertak. Their brand-new, as-yet-untitled album for Edged Circle will hit stores during April 2019, just in time for Norway's Inferno Festival, and will also feature stunning artwork by R.K. Valbo (Obliteration, Void Eater, Deathhammer). www.facebook.com/inculter www.edgedcircleproductions.com  Spanish gothic metal combo Rainover entered MathLab Recording Studio today to start tracking their sophomore album. Following the success of their debut platter “Transcending the Blue and Drifting Into Rebirth” this new record is a huge step ahead for the band, both in term of songwriting and identity. Carlo Bellotti Stated: “Today we started the production of Rainover‘s new album at MathLab Recording Studio. It has taken along time to become reality but we have done a great pre-production job with the songs in Spain and we can’t wait to finally listen to them finished. The band’s identity is now stronger and the musicians have such a great experience and conviction after 4 years of touring, festivals, songwriting and promotion. This record is darker but also more epic and melodic. I am so proud to be the producer of Rainover’s music again. I would like to thank the band and Jonathan Mazzeo for their constant trust. Wait and see…” The band will record the album with their new guitar player Antonio Garcia.

It will include 6 songs for approx. 40 minutes of music. The album recording-sessions started in December 2016 with drums being tracked at Big Pine Creek studio in Italy, but were abruptly interrupted when singer / guitarist Ferdinando "HM" M. was involved in a life-threatening car accident that left him unable to play for months. Recording-sessions were resumed and completed in May 2017 at SPVN Studio in Italy, while mix and mastering were done in June 2017 at Planet-Z studio (Hadley, Massachussets, USA) by Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Rob Zombie, Six Feet Under, Crowbar, Soulfly, Hatebreed, etc.). The album is due in fall 2017 on Agonia Records. In the words of the band, "The new album is another step into our constant evolution. Our trademark sound is still there but this record is heavier than anything we've done before. It's a varied one and it includes some new solutions that might catch some people off guard. It's a pissed-off record but also extremely gloomy". Forgotten Tomb will officially return on-stage on the 21st of October 2017 at Rites of the Black Mass II festival in Bucharest, Romania and will soon start booking subsequent tours in support of the new record. More news on "We Owe You Nothing" will follow soon. http://www.forgottentomb.com https://facebook.com/Official.Forgotten.Tomb/ http://agoniarecords.com http://tinyurl.com/agoniashop https://facebook.com/agoniarecords https://twitter.com/agoniarecords https://soundcloud.com/agoniarecords https://agoniarecords.bandcamp.com https://instagram.com/agoniarecordsofficial http://youtube.com/AgoniaRec |
