 Canada’s CroMagnum Come Ripping Out The Primordial Ooze With “Tunguska” Off Upcoming EP “Born Free”

New EP “Born Free” Out Sept 17th, 2021 via King Metal Records

 

Years in the making, Montreal’s CroMagnum recently released their first single with the music video “Tunguska” from their upcoming EP “Born Free''. According to the band, this EP is more involved than the last, with a second guitar and more refinement in the melody. The music video for the single shows that CroMagnum is bringing the same power riffage and dirt, as the band explains in their own words:

"The song “Tunguska” mirrors the blazing atmospheric entry of this song’s subject, the mysterious space object that fell to Earth in the northern tundra of Russia over a hundred years ago! Musically, an absolute monolithic blitzkrieg of searing riffs thrown at you at breakneck speed! No time to even take a breath!”

The five-track EP delivers thundering waves of primordial power and aims to give listeners a feeling of empowerment, an interesting variety of dynamics across the whole record, a few unexpected surprises, something original that stands out from other releases in the genre.

The musical production on the video was supplied by Alain Londero and it was filmed by one-woman film crew Maude Baillargeon. If the music video and the song aren’t enough for fans, Maximus Rex has also written and illustrated a comic book that shares a title with the EP. 

All out pandemonium awaits! CroMagnum is recommended for fans of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Judas Priest.

About:

Born of the frosty bowels of Montreal, Quebec, Canada comes CroMagnum, heavy metal from a simpler time. Brutal and unforgiving. Thoughtful and visionary. A forced juxtaposition that leads to an intense listening experience.

CroMagnum started when Maximus Rex and the original drummer parted ways with their previous band with an aim to keep it simple, heavy as fuck and stay as a three-piece. Since then, CroMagnum has evolved into its current form as the main duo of Maximus Rex on guitar and vocals, Gino LaPosta on bass.

With two EPs under their belts, 2014’s self-titled initial release and now 2021’s “Born Free”, CroMagnum embodies the human race’s struggle to climb out of the primordial ooze toward its future ascension to godhood. Lyrical content flows from anger, frustration, history, politics, government corruption, legends, and philosophy, complete with soaring melodies and punishing riffs.

Mythology. Tradition. Evolution. The beginning. The end. CroMagnum.

Aexylium - New Single (ROCKSHOTS Records)

For fans of Eluveitie, Korpiklaani, Alestorm

Italian Symphonic Folk Metal AEXYLIUM First Single "The Bridge" Off Upcoming New Album "The Fifth Season"

Italian symphonic folk metallers Aexylium are sharing their first single "The Bridge" from their forthcoming album "The Fifth Season"due out October 29th, 2021 via Rockshots Records.

The opening track of the full length, "The Bridge" is an instant war call, a powerful rush of drums, symphonic speed, and heaviness to immediately convey this clan's followers ready for battle.
The lyric video for "The Bridge" can be viewed and heard on Rockshots Records' YouTube Channel - https://youtu.be/jyssCoDi9jo

Digital download and stream on the following platforms:
Spotify: https://spoti.fi/36M35fX
Apple Music: https://apple.co/3xMU6Hc

Mixing traditional folk instruments (Flute, Violin, Bouzouki) with the modern symphonic metal, Aexylium's sophomore full length follows 2018's "Tales From This Land" (Underground Symphony Records) and their 2016 self-produced EP “The Blind Crow“. "Tales From This Land" has had over 110k streams on Spotify along with its powerful single "Revive the Village’ placing on the top 200 metal song charts in Germany on Apple Music. Aexylium has also released fan-praised covers of Game of Thrones and Vikings main themes with reinterpreted folk metal sounds.

Since their inception in 2014, the Varese, Italy band has performed at renowned festivals in Europe such as Dumeltica International Music Festival, Montelago Celtic Festival, Malpaga Folk & Metal, Rock Inn Somma, Druidia and Strigarium along with sharing the stage with Elvenking, Wind Rose, Nervosa, Furor Gallico, Temperance and more. In August 2020, despite Covid restrictions, Aexylium was chosen by the city of Milan to perform at the historical Castello Sforzesco.

Their new album "The Fifth Season" is a concrete step towards growth and musical maturity with its offering of festive ballads, tighter riffs, advanced orchestrations and heavier dark songs that are all inspired by Norse Mythology. The record also features guest vocals from Samuele Faulisi (Atlas Pain), Arianna Bellinaso and the members of Coro Facoltà di Musicologia Vocal Ensemble. The album was recorded at Twilight Studio by Davide Tavecchia with the artwork done by Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Design (Manowar, Testament, Korpiklaani.

The band adds:
“This work is the result of different approaches toward music, and different interests between the members of the band. For example, “An Damhsa Mór” – one of our completely acoustic pieces - reflects the interest of our flutist for Irish tradition and Gaeilge, while “Yggrdasil” is obviously a reference to Norse mythology, which our singer is passionate about. The title track is dedicated to something we would prefer to avoid, but, on the contrary, since the world we are facing is showing its environmental and social limits, the song “The Fifth Season” seems to express all our doubts and anxieties toward the future.”

"The Fifth Season" is due out October 29, 2021 via Rockshots Records and available for pre-order at the following link:

INSAMMER, one of Sweden's most promising metal bands releases "Endless Sky"

 

INSAMMER has shared the official music video for its single " Endless Sky ". The song remains a standout from the band's upcoming yet untitled album, set for release in autumn 2021. The visual was directed by famous Turkish director Can Katipzade, with production by Roman Jinjaradze. 

Vika, the vocalist, commented: "I'm super excited to have been given the opportunity to combine all my creative thoughts and my passions into one project. Me and Dennis, and the guys put together a vision of ancient times, and I think we were able to put together something we are all very proud of. I hope all our fans enjoy — they were at the forefront of the project and without them this video wouldn't have been possible. This one's for you guys!" She continued: "Again, extreme gratitude to the band and to everyone at InSammer fan club for giving us the opportunity to do something we've wanted to do for all last year!"

"We were sitting in the studio during 2020 and it was absolutely amazing how we can find all these stories for all songs" Dennis Wise says. "It was a depressive year and I didn’t believe that we found forces to make it happening until we got a mastered album from Finnvox studios. I was, like, 'Holy sh*t! This is real!' And we spent hours to decide which track can be the first single from the album. They are so good, all of them, we put so much passion in each track that it was a hard decision and we came with the idea that Endless sky should be the first single from the new album. The energy of the track is insane. And we said yeah, we need a video with this track. It was a great experience and the energy within the story is so powerful. The single and the video came out amazing!"

INSAMMER is one of Sweden's most promising metal bands, combining dark, pulsating Nordic grooves with Eastern European lyricism and melodic romanticism. Their live shows throb with emotional energy; Vika’s voice ranges from a whisper to a full-throated growl, melding with the instruments as verses explode into churning, hypnotic choruses and pounding, crowd-mesmerizing riffs. The group calls their sound transfusion metal, a heavy mixture of alternative rock and nu metal, which evokes the shifting musical styles and feelings that pour over them and infuse their performances.

The band was created in Stockholm by vocalist Vika and guitarist Dennis Wise, whose collaboration began at a music institute in Uppsala, Sweden. The name InSammer was inspired by The Door Into Summer, a science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein. The current lineup also features virtuoso guitarist Oleg Izotov, bassist Nikita Simonov, and world-class drummer Alex Karpukhin.

InSammer released two full length albums Numbers as Victims (2014) and Seeds (2018). In 2021 the band is working in the studio on a new yet untitled album. Before a new album release the band made a groovy classical rock Secret Service cover Flash in the Night and a new single Endless Sky.
