WITHERING SOUL Release Official Video for "Carrion Reflection"

 

Chicago (IL) - Blackened Melodic Death Metal veterans WITHERING SOUL have released the official video for "Carrion Reflection," a song from forthcoming album Last Contact. View it at youtu.be/INkskUDv5fM.  Last Contact will be released September 24 on Mortal Music. Pre-orders available at witheringsoul.bandcamp.com/album/last-contact. The band released the following statement concerning Last Contact: "WITHERING SOUL continues with their fourth installment of blackened melodic death metal, dramatic mood swings and eerie atmospheres. Last Contact is an anthology of stories that blur the line between the living and deceased and elaborates on the idea of receiving a communication from someone or something that no longer exists. Anything from a voice recording, a distress signal, to a star flickering in the night sky. The observer is left only to their interpretation, unsuspecting of what could potentially be something far more sinister than what appears. Reality is sometimes the scariest narrative of all!" WITHERING SOUL's album release show, which also features MORTA SKULD and DISMALIMERENCE, will take place on September 24 in Chicago at The Cobra Lounge. Track Listing: 1. Visitation 2. Allegory of the Void 3. Carrion Reflection 4. Of Blackened Pillars 5. Ascent to Madness 6. Into the Harrowing Expanse 7. The Transcendence of Night 8. Uncharted Course Album Credits: Mixed and mastered by Dennis Israel at Clintworks Audio Cover artwork by Pierre-Alain D. of 3mmi Design (www.3mmi.org) Drums recorded at Belle City Sound Guitar and Vocal recording engineered by Exhul from Ossilegium Bass Guitar recorded at Studio 1134

Matriarchs - The Shape Of C#Nt$ To Come - (Metallic Hardcore)

Release Date: October, 2021 FFO: Emmure, Wolf Down, Walls Of Jericho, Bury Your Dead, Hatebreed, Slipknot, Slaughter to Prevail Pre Save Link: https://ffm.to/eoz2ekm MATRIARCHS is a metallic hardcore band formed by Ben Levi (Cutthroat, Fate Destroyed) in Los Angeles in 2012, inspired by his affinity for Beat Down and ‘90s New York metallic hardcore. Ben had played with drummer Alfred Santa Cruz, bassist Miguel Vasquez and guitarist Marty Cole in several other projects throughout the last decade so they were no strangers to getting creative together. After playing their first show to a packed house the boys never looked back. They've gone on to play with bands like Soulfly, Harm's Way, Disgrace, Bane, Backtrack, Sworn Enemy and Vision Of Disorder.    An ambitious release produced by Nick Jett of Terror, and mastered by Matt Hyde (Lionheart, Hatebreed, Deftones), Scandalous Jointz fused together the visual aesthetic and presentation of more thought-provoking heavy acts with the sonic ferocity and energy of hardcore. A few national festivals and two tours later saw the band taking a hiatus and reflecting on what the general direction and purpose of the band would be.   In 2018 MATRIARCHS parted ways with vocalist Richard Barthel. After teaming up with Jeremy Valentyne and Brandon Wolfe to produce their new release, adding veteran Carlos Pagan to the lineup on guitar and meeting new vocalist K Enagonio during the pandemic, the band found the new fire it needed. In K the band finds its truest voice. Over the quarantine they wrote their second full length, Year of the Rat, released last fall through KnucklehedzINC and Upstate Records.    Their follow to that effort, a stream series entitled The Shape Of C#nts To Come, will be released this October. 'Ascendancy' is set to be released on October 5.  You can preview the first single/video 'Ascendancy', here: https://youtu.be/05IwEBh2ORQ

“The Shape of C#NT$ to come” which features seven new kick-ass metallic Hardcore tracks by Ben Levi, Carlos Pagan and K Enagonio, as well as a guest appearance by Jarren Benton. If you loved the latest highly anticipated release “Year of the Rat” by Martriarchs for its inexorable soundscapes, “The Shape of C#NT$ to come” will blow your mind. On their new album, the Californian band is notching up their performance in multiple ways. The brutality of the metallic riffs is way more intense than before, the Hardcore breaks are even harsher, and finally even the melodic passages of the songs have been improved by a lot. The song ‘Shadow Work’ is a great example of the rough and yet sophisticated songwriting that Matriarchs provide us with. Massive riffs sharp like razorblades are connected by a Mathcore-like transition and burst into a brachial Metalcore breakdown. This album is full of surprises. Despite all the brutality, vocalist K Enagonio masterfully adds clean vocals to the soundscape when not screaming at the top of the lungs. Those melodic lead vocals remind me of early Fear Factory, while the final track ‘EdgeLorde’ is a powerful Rapcore hymn for fans of acts such as Such A Surge, or Gebrüder Manns.

Controversial black metal act GAYLORD shatter genre tropes with third album "CROWN OF JOY (A SUBLIME SUN THRIVING AMONGST DYING STARS)".

Best known for their divisive debut, 2018's "THE BLACK METAL SCENE NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED", the band have decided to continue their assault on black metal as a scene and genre this time by merging black metal with many genres of "non-kvlt" music. Frontman RICHARD WEEKS explains: "With THE BLACK METAL SCENE NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED we used genre trappings to assault black metal with its own aural aesthetics. Raw guitars, sloppy riffs, gurgled vocals, and the bass turned way down. This time around we wanted to 'pervert' this 'sacred' music by pairing it alongside genres that most 'true' fans hate." CROWN OF JOY (A SUBLIME SUN THRIVING AMONGST DYING STARS) has all the anger and ferocity of previous albums THE BLACK METAL SCENE NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED and WINGS OF THE JOYFUL but merges that fury with genres like trap, RnB, jazz, j-pop, hip-hop, and hyper pop to create a unique experience that old school black metal fans will absolutely abhor. "I basically took two months off writing metal to write an FM synth-led old school video game soundtrack and ended up listening to a lot of genres I had only /kinda/ listened to before." WEEKS further explains. "I found myself listening to experimental rapper MARIO JUDAH, Ukrainian Eurovision electro-folk act Go_A, Vtuber rapper MORI CALLIOPE, and lots more crazy non-metal stuff. I felt inspired to try my hand at some of these genres... and thusly, CROWN OF JOY was born." "Also for this album I wanted to channel my inner ARJEN LUCASSEN." WEEKS continues: "I've always been a fan of AYREON and STAR ONE and all of LUCASSEN's other projects for years. And I always try to use as many voices as I can muster when recording, but I can't do /everything/, so I recruited no less than 17 guests to appear on CROWN OF JOY. Mostly vocalists, but some lead guitarists, and narrators as well." Guests: Sally - Freelance R&B Vocalist Alena Yashkina - Vocalist for Wicked Cat, Splitmind Junayed Hossain Rayhan - Lead guitarist for Metal Fakir thetrashyourmomthrewout - Freelance Voice Actress Sevlier - Freelance Jazz Vocalist Olga Nuit - Vocalist for Ara'Kus Kieran Scott - Vocalist for Ashen Crown Ember O'Woody - Freelance Metal Vocalist Karl Willetts - Memoriam, Ex-Bolt Thrower Aaron Marko - Frontman for The Swine Rodrigo C Giacon - Lead guitarist for Sorrow In Vain Nate Lewis - Bassist for Ante-Inferno, Bassist and Vocalist for Petrichor Amara Wears - Vocalist for Aubzagl, Guitarist for Petrichor Marc Hood - Vocalist for Cadaver Soiree Baradiel - Freelance Metal Musician Tracklist: 01) Lay Down 02) Ghost Me 03) Dread 04) Shit Scene, Shit Bands 05) White Night Gaslight 06) High and Mighty 07) Grey Rainbow 08) Coiled in Dust 09) Obfuscation of Intent 10) Ten Wing Angel 11) Nailed Deity 12) Again and Again 13) None / Nothing 14) Judgement and Justice 15) Slitting Their Throats 16) Kvlt After School Xbox Kommando 17) Sublime Sunshine CROWN OF JOY (A SUBLIME SUN THRIVING AMONGST SUICIDAL STARS) is available on 30/09/2021 from GAYLORD's and BLACKENED DEATH's Bandcamp and streaming on Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Google, and just about everywhere else.

Master Dy - You Are Not Alone - (Power/Pop/Heavy Metal)

 

FFO: Ghost, In Flames, Lacuna Coil, Powerwolf PRE-Save Link: https://hypeddit.com/link/ki1sfi With their strong heavy riffs set against the clarity of female vocals, the mysterious and enigmatic upcoming band Master Dy is a force to be reckoned with, when it comes to the iconic and characteristic genre of Power Metal. A strong and iconic team of musicians, the emerging band Master Dy has a strong theatrical component, approaches themes around metal and the occult in a comical way with heavy riffs, but a sweet and clean female voice. All set to captivate the world made their debut album release on February 26, 2021 With 11 splendid tracks, Master Dy managed to break into the genre and surprise listeners and critics with its release. Master Dy intends to produce and create music that inspires and excites spirits through the use of iconic Power/Heavy metal music. Master Dy initially wanted to approach music through the theme used in black metal, because it's ocultist and a bit revolted against the things that go wrong in a young man's life, but then Dy Moob felt he didn't want to do black metal and decided to do something more fun, it could be heard by the whole family and it wasn't that heavy. Master Dy has been mainly getting inspiration from Ghost BC , a Swedish band awarded for their incredible hard rock performances in recent years, which has pulled crowds back to rock and heavy metal. Master Dy then sought inspiration in another theatrical band called Powerwolf who abuse synthesizers and riffs, and the iconic Alice Cooper who has always been a legend when it comes to bringing theatrics and Rock n Roll together. Now the next step is the single ' You Are Not Alone ' which was finished in the studio by Matt Dougherty ( Megadeth / Kobra and the Lothus ) and will be released by Label DyMM P&M on September 17th to give fans a taste, besides the band is already in the studio working on the next album that should be released at the beginning of the next year, what message will the band bring us this time?
