NOCTURNAL PRAYER new album promo from IPR

A blasphemous display of Canadian Raw Black Metal will be unearthed by the ritualistic horde NOCTURNAL PRAYER.

Emerging into the night once more, after 'Intercontinental Death Conspiracy,' split LP, NOCTURNAL PRAYER brings forth a repulsive gathering of seven tracks of black cancerous sounds. 'MUTILATION ON THE BED OF WINTER' is a total departure from any remnants of light and purity, and serves as a ritual of absolute death and human agony. The preparation to unleash nocuous songs of peril will be laid unto the world with this piece of otherworldly possession. A devastating forthcoming of requiems that fulfill those with the desires of consuming black metal filth that conveys the remnant souls of old school black metal. It is eternally devoted to punishment, genocide, and depravity to all who exist on the mortal plane. NOCTURNAL PRAYER remains true to the exaltation of true darkness and suffering.

NOCTURNAL PRAYER returns on LP format, with 'MUTILATION ON THE BED OF WINTER' unleashed by Inferna Profundus

Deathrash metallers SCHIZOPHRENIA unleash album details and brand new video clip!

Back in January 2020, SCHIZOPHRENIA came out of nowhere with their self-released debut EP "Voices" to hit the Extreme Metal underground like a bomb. With a relentless cocktail of high-adrenaline Death Metal and groovy mid-tempo elements, the band took the heavy scene by storm and soon became known for their distinctively heavy yet dynamic sound, bursting with detail and intensity.

 

Today, the four-piece from Antwerp, Belgium, revealed the first details of their highly anticipated debut studio album "Recollections Of The Insane", which will see the light of day on February 17th, 2022. With nine brand new tracks spanning over 43 minutes, the band's upcoming record picks up where "Voices" left off, with going even further in every aspect, sometimes even flirting with some melodic Death/Black Metal influences! Morbid Angel, Demolition Hammer, Slayer, early Sepultura, Dissection, Death, At The Gates, Obituary, Bolt Thrower, Pestilence…if any of these bands already gets you going, then imagine a blend of all of them combined with SCHIZOPHRENIA’s unique and fresh interpretation of Extreme Metal!

 

Despite various offers from worldwide record labels, the band has once again decided to release the album on their own and fully DIY, as it currently feels like the right way to go, and in order to present the most authentic version of themselves.

 

To shorten your wait for "Recollections Of The Insane", SCHIZOPHRENIA just released a first and intense album single, one that will most likely leave you with a hunger for more! Watch the brand new video clip for "Cranial Disintegration" here:

 


 
Ricky Mandozzi (vocals, bass) on "Cranial Disintegration": 
"This is by far my favorite song of the album. It shows the evolution of Schizophrenia's songwriting with a mix of melody and brutality topped with some gory lyrics. Cranial Disintegration was a lot of fun to write and record and I'm looking forward to performing it in front of our fans. I hope they will enjoy the song as much as we did writing it."
 
Lorenzo Vissol (drums) on the album:
"This album is the result of a very intense work in which each of us has explored his own musicality. After our debut EP we felt that we still had much to say and much to express. We also felt that we had evolved musically both as a band, forming a solid unit, and as individual musicians. When starting the composition process, we wanted to express exactly that and I think ‘Recollections of the Insane’ succeeded in doing so. Each one of us has pushed himself to the fullest and beyond in order to put his own personality into each song, but also in order to make each track of this album unique. The result is a complete collective effort in which each song lives for its own while still creating a whole. In my opinion this is what will make the strength of this album and define it.

We wanted our music to be more extreme and aggressive but, more importantly, we also wanted to add more depth to it. We didn’t want the music to be aggressive just for the sake of it, it needed to tell stories in which the listener would be carried from start to finish. Those would be stories of insane minds! Overall the composition is more complex, the melodies are more developed and tempos are faster. We introduced blast beats and some more melodic moments. However, while the music is more intense and relentless it is also more eerie and dynamic.

We hope listeners will appreciate ‘Recollection of the Insane’ as much as we enjoyed diving into its composition and we certainly can't wait to hit the stage with our new material

Plastique Noir - "Iskuros" (WAVE RECORDS)


 

Listen "Iskuros"

Artist: Plastique Noir
Release title: Iskuros
Label: WAVE RECORDS
Release Date: 18-10-2021

Genre: POST-PUNK / DARKWAVE
Country: Brazil

For fans of She Past Away, The Cure, Clan of Xymox

After a long hiatus since "24 Hours Awake" (released in 2015), Plastique Noir are back with their long-awaited fourth album, "Iskuros".

Transliterated from the Greek, ἰσχυρός ("brave", "strong") is a semi-conceptual proposal that claims for spotlights on this band which has been battling for its place under the sun for the past fifteen years and which are hailing directly from the underground of the Brazilian indie scene. Unbreakable before the neo-totalitarianism, cognitive paralysis of the public opinion and the imminent collapse of civilization farce, Plastique Noir reminds its followers that they're still alive and stronger than ever!

Now, with a new identity and updated sound textures, painstaking production signed by Jean Rié (Fake Movie) and a succinct and yet piercing tracklist, plus the tour experiences between Airton (voices and beats), Danyel (guitar) and Deivy (bass), Plastique Noir are finally able to explore new Brazilian, foreign and digital roads with renewed vigor, thus helping to disseminate and extend their frontiers.

Best of compilation from one of the pioneers of Belgian darkwave/coldwave/synth-wave


 

Listen “1982-2021“

Artist: Twilight Ritual
Release title: 1982-2021
Label: Wave Records
Release Date: 17-09-2021
Format: Digital, CD
Genre: Synthwave
Country: Belgium

Best of compilation from one of the pioneers of Belgian darkwave/coldwave/synth-wave.

Geert Coppens and Peter Bonne started the band AUTUMN in 1981 and in 1982 they moved to the TWILIGHT RITUAL project who recorded 9 albums and 2 singles.

In 1985, Peter Bonne aka Chrismar Chayell founded A Split Second with Marc Ickx, and TR stayed as a second plane for years...

The iconic album RITUALS, including the hit CLOSED CIRCUIT was a rare item to found in the '80s and '90s.

Twilight Ritual was born in Geert's mind during the first Autumn years. It was building integrity, clearer identity, the admittance of mystery and surreal impressions. During Autumn recording sessions, musical style and experiment varied strongly, which is recognized in the various tape releases. However, some tracks had clearly more 'spirit' or 'personality than others. It became clear that a new project was born out of Autumn work: Twilight Ritual.

Geert Coppens and Peter Bonne have been involved in many different projects, including many different musical styles, about which you can read more on other pages on this site, e.g the Micrart Group story, the Autumn history or within the A Split Second history.

The spirit of Twilight Ritual lingers on beneath the work of Autumn through A Split Second. The work of Twilight Ritual is diverse, yet concise. The Twilight Ritual work in the eighties inspired many other musicians, and became known throughout the world - the original RITUALS album is now a collector’s item. RITUALS

THE BEST OF:
That compilation has songs from all TR phases.
34 tracks from 1982 until 2021.
A limited-edition with videos will be limited to 100 copies 2cd+dvd

COLLECTOR BOX:

A very special and limited fan box with the ltd edition 2cd+dvd and t-shirt special edition for the release + stickers and numbered postcard will sell fast, all items inside a black box ultra limited in 25 copies worldwide!

Twilight Ritual was a big influence for many bands after 85 in the underground scene, with a specific sound between dark and synth.

IT´S A BASIC ITEM TO GET AT COLLECTION FOR SYNTH/80´S WAVE FANS!

For fans of Autumn and A Split Second
