Never one to stay within the constraints of genre definition, Varius have a new EP coming November 5th, and before it officially drops, its full stream is being premiered over on MetalInsider HERE.

“Concordance” is all about both diversity and consistency. Varius was motivated to include four distinct tracks with each one primarily written by a different band member. The result was a naturally diverse EP that can still be considered their most collaborative release to date. They share their thoughts on the record:

“We are very excited to present our new EP, the strongest Varius release to date. The result is an EP defined by both its diversity and its consistency in spirit. We were all very motivated to bring each others’ visions to life, and the tracks came together as some of our heaviest and grooviest to date. Each of the four songs are rooted firmly in their own area of the metal spectrum, and they are as varied lyrically as they are musically. “Concordance” explores themes of battle, demonic magics, psychological challenges, and a bleak look at the future of death. We believe that all types of metal fans, and fans of fantasy and science fiction alike, are sure to find something they like about it.”

“Concordance” is a heavy recording throughout, but the four distinct songs approach the heaviness in different ways. Across the four tracks, the listener can expect to hear the influence of death metal, thrash, progressive, doom, and classic metal with experimental dynamic twists. The EP is as diverse lyrically as it is musically; fans of fiction, fantasy, horror, and humanity will find something that they like in “Concordance”. From the apocalyptic themes you’d expect from Varius in “Gut Shoveler” and “Concordance of the Legionfall” to the more reflective stories of battle in “Golden Crown” and personal struggle through “Lament of Dissonance”, the EP covers a variety of heavy lyric themes that listeners can connect to.

The experimental groove of Varius is recommended for fans of Hypocrisy, Lamb of God, and Dethklok.

“Concordance” will be available on digital music platforms on November 5th.

MINDLESS SINNER LP, CUSTARD, PSYCHOPRISM - Releaseinfo / LOU SIFFER AND THE HOWLING DEMONS, SPLIT HEAVEN - official Releases

MINDLESS SINNER - "Missin' Pieces" - limited Vinyl Edition - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 19th November 2021

The release date of the of the album "Missin' Pieces" by the Swedish Heavy Metal Band MINDLESS SINNER on Vinyl via PURE STEEL RECORDS is November 19th, 2021. The official Releasedate is subject to change. The Album will be released in a limited Edition of 300 black copies and insert on Vinyl.

After the timeless debut full length classic “Turn On The Power”, the often overlooked, much more melodic second output “Missin’ Pieces” is now also being reissued on vinyl; for the very first time since the original release back in 1989. A few years earlier, the Swedes simply shortened their band name down to MINDLESS and increasingly oriented themselves towards melodic Hard Rock, which is comparable to the early works of their compatriots Europe. Unfortunately, there was no commercial success at that time, but still today tracks like “Rockin' In The Heat Of The Night”, the synthesizer driven “Hold On”, “Missin' Pieces”, “End Of The Road” and the ballad “Reflections Of Fantasia” can be seen as hidden gems of the genre. Like the other re-releases "Missin‘ Pieces" will be limited to 300 copies and comes with an inlay. A must have for lovers of Swedish Steel!

TRACKLIST:
Side A
1. Heaven Will Know
2. Rockin' In The Heat Of The Night
3. A Dream Of A Dream
4. Hold On
5. Run Away
Side B
6. Missin' Pieces
7. Caught Up In The Action
8. Reflections Of Fantasia
9. Stranger
10. End Of The Road
Total Playing Time: 40:09 min

LINE-UP:
Christer Göransson – vocals
Magnus Danneblad – lead guitars

CUSTARD - "Imperium Rapax" - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 3rd December 2021 The release date of the of the new album "Imperium Rapax" by the German Power Metal Band CUSTARD on CD is December 3rd, 2021. The pre-order phase will start on November 26th, 2021 in our webshop.  It's almost a tradition that CUSTARD come around the corner with a new work every four to five years. Almost exactly four years have passed since ´A Realm Of Tales´ and the quintet from North Rhine-Westphalia arrives on time with their new round album ´Imperium Rapax´. In fact, his seventh studio album by now. Indestructible? It looks like this! The band led by singer Olli Strasser meets the high demands of all classic metallers, just like the Powermetal faction. The songs are even more sophisticated, the production more powerful, the implementation more lively than on the celebrated previous albums. This time, the five gentlemen have tackled the topic of the Roman Empire. Battle hymns alternating with deeply emotional moments underline the complexity of the experienced warriors. A positive further development can be attested in every respect. Songs to bawl along in the ranks of the legionnaires adorn the latest work as well as the fragile silence after a lost battle. The dynamic in the songwriting leaves no eye dry and a touch of history wafts through the loudspeakers at home. With this new collection of songs, CUSTARD will not only be interesting for fans of the Teutonic competition - fans of Blind Guardian, Grave Digger, Rage and the like can strike absolutely blind here - but it will also be of interest to supporters of the British guild, consisting of priests and iron maidens, plenty of material offered. Perfect? Maybe! TRACKLIST: 1. Imperium Rapax 2. Children Of The Wolf 3. In Umbra Aquilae 4. Res Publica 5. Blessed By Baal 6. Blood And Sand 7. The First Empore 8. Gloria Aegypti 9. The Goddess Of Magic And Death 10. Cornua Mortis 11. Furor Teutonicus 12. Ode To The Flames 13. Morituri Te Salutant 14.

The band began their journey together in 2018, and since then they’ve worked tirelessly developing their sound and live performance, their aim? To make memories with their fans and to an epic musical soundtrack. A quote that can summarize their lyrics is: “How can you tell a story about life if you haven’t dared to live life to its fullest!

Dead Lxve - Making Waves - (Hard Rock)

Release Date: October 20, 2021

FFO: Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Waterparks

One of the most unpredictable bands to emerge from the Northern California punk scene, Dead Lxve gained a local buzz in mid-2021 after releasing their debut single “Making Waves''. Composed of rapper turned rocker Jay Williz, metal guitarist A.Moortal & cover band drummer Ryan Gymnaites, Dead Lxve was created after the trio began losing interest in sticking to one genre and decided to push out of their boundaries and create a new-age pop/hard rock sound. Inspired by artists and bands such as Machine Gun Kelly, My Chemical Romance, Green Day & Blink-182, with the hardcore balance of Mötley Crüe, fans of Dead Lxve will never lose interest with anything they have to offer.
