INSINERATEHYMN set release date for new BLOOD HARVEST / ROTTED LIFE album, reveal first track - features ex-members of LA's TRANSCENDENCE

Today, Blood Harvest Records, in conspiracy with Rotted Life, announces February 25th as the international release date for Insineratehymn's highly anticipated second album, Disembodied, on CD and cassette tape formats. The vinyl LP version will follow later in the year.

One of death metal's best-kept secrets, Insineratehymn hail from Los Angeles and feature three ex-members of now-labelmates Transcendence. The band formed in 2016, and two years later did Insineratehymn's debut album arrive, bearing the title A Moment in a Vision. An auspicious start, already evincing mastery of timeless death metal songcraft, A Moment in a Vision was but a signal of greater things to come for Insineratehymn.

At last, that arrives with Disembodied, Insineratehymn's second album. Clearer, cutting, and more crushing, Disembodied doesn't so much as dispense with the previous album's style as it simply sharpens it to a dangerous degree. Indeed, Insineratehymn give a masterclass in '90s death metal, from the spiraling vortexes of early Tampa to the sewage to come from New York, on to eerie emanations from Europe and the dissonance at the dawn of the new millennium. Naturally, the band bend those classic tropes in a variety of ways, all of which bespeak their own identity: scuzzy, slicing, clanging, angular, brutal beatdown, ignorant stomp, or just straightforward killshot - no weapon is left aside. Simply, Disembodied is a death metal record for death metal maniacs, by death metal maniacs who understand and appreciate the rich-yet-codified history of the genre.

Graced with amazing cover artwork courtesy of Edgar Roldan and utterly throttling production, Insineratehymn are prepared to ascend the throne with Disembodied!

Begin the ascent with the brand-new track "Proliferation of the Deceased" HERE at Blood Harvest's Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:



Tracklisting for Insineratehymn's Disembodied
1. Perpetual Anguish
2. Visceral Ignominy
3. Corporeal Inception
4. Proliferation Of The Deceased
5. Intransitive Sanction
6. Immolated Ascension
7. Cerebral Malevolence
8. Bitter Loss [Entombed cover]

Canadian band Bloody Monroe releases new album "Some Like It Heavy"


 Bloody Monroe is a new hard rock / heavy metal band based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The band consists of Michael Green (vocals / guitar), Maxwell McFadyen (bass) and Nathan Raboud (drums). The power trio is a young but experienced group, well versed, hungry and ready to make an impact within the music industry and the live music scene.

Bloody Monroe released his latest album "Some like it heavy" on all streaming platforms. The album was recorded from March 2021 to October 2021 and was produced by Kyle Hedley of Acoustic Resolution Studios and Michael Green. The lyrics of the album are about personal reflection, observations, esoteric information and frustration towards life in general.

Most of the album was written between 2011 and 2013 as Michael has been trying to get Bloody Monroe off the ground for a long time. 3 songs were written during the pandemic. The vocalist and guitarist tends to create the main material on their own, record demos, and then send it out to the rest of the band. So we all go in together and work our parts until it sounds and feels good. Bloody Monroe listens to and is inspired by a wide range of music ranging from classical and jazz to punk and metal. Top inspirations include Black Sabbath, The Misfitts, Metallica, Megadeth, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Tool, and System of a Down.

Movment releases single and music video of "We all must go'


The irish post-punk alternative rock band, Movment, has just released the single and music video of  "We all must go''.  Although guitars and bass are at the heart of their sound, it is hard to ignore the electronics that have infiltrated Movment’s core. An inquest into the journey to the Big Black River that awaits us, where it's going, nobody knows... We all have to slip into it sometime. We are on the banks of it all the time. It is a journey that is inevitable. We all must go. 

Movment will release a new album, TRANSFORMATION, on Distort The Scene on 02 December 2021. The lead track from the album is WE ALL MUST GO. The 10 tracks were recorded in End of Light Studios, Mullingar, Ireland & mixed at Milocco, London and mastered by Jerome Schmitt at The Airlab.

Movment are more dark than light, more strong than weak, more direct. Movment make observations on life and living. They mean what they say. There is a divergence in society. The new album Transformation, due in December 2021, explores this situation. We are bombarded with information, opinions, viewpoints, and words. We drown in ideas, in solutions, in propaganda. There needs to be a TRANSFORMATION from where we are now. It explores What We Are. Movment have been through it before. They examine What Way Should It Be. Their time is NOW! There is nothing we cannot do!

THE GRASSHOPPER LIES HEAVY And WOORMS: New Noise Magazine Premieres Various Plants And Animals Under Domestication Split; Record To Drop Friday Digitally Via Forbidden Place Records


 

Texas post-hardcore outfit THE GRASSHOPPER LIES HEAVY and Louisiana noise/sludge rockers WOORMS have teamed up to drop a disgustingly heavy split entitled Various Plants And Animals Under Domestication via Forbidden Place Records.
 
The offering -- which is set for release digitally on Friday, January 7th and vinyl in the Fall of 2022 -- features four new rippers from THE GRASSHOPPER LIES HEAVY and one twenty-three-minute epic rager from WOORMS. Various Plants And Animals Under Domestication finds each band flexing their creative muscles in challenging and exciting new ways. WOORMS‘ approach was to write the longest song of their musical careers, while the writing process for THE GRASSHOPPER LIES HEAVY’s side has veered far from their comfort zone.
 
Stream Various Plants And Animals Under Domestication, now playing at New Noise in advance of its official digital release, at THIS LOCATION.

View THE GRASSHOPPER LIES HEAVY’s previously released video for “Indifference Apocalypse” at THIS LOCATION.

“These songs were ideas that formed during the most locked-down parts of 2021,” says THE GRASSHOPPER LIES HEAVY guitarist/songwriter James Woodard. “Since we were so isolated, I would write the songs using rudimentary software drums, then I would send off a demo of the track to the other members. Steven, our drummer, would then come over and we’d work out some eccentricities and song flow and immediately start recording.”
 
This approach to quick ideas and even quicker recording led to a trio of positively brutal tracks that bulldoze the listener. The fourth and final track of the THE GRASSHOPPER LIES HEAVY side, the nearly nine-minute “Unending Mediocrity,” switches gears completely and the band explores a different sonic tapestry that gives the band and the listener time to breathe. “‘Unending Mediocrity’ was one of those songs that started with a single idea, and the idea just blossomed out to create this long-form, sort of introspective track,” says Woodard. The song crescendos and crumbles away in its lengthy runtime and gives the listener a brief respite before the album flip.
 
As for WOORMS, a gargantuan, lumbering beast of a band most known for their pulverizing heaviness, they chose to contribute a nihilistic twenty-three-minute diatribe that is challenging, expansive, and above all: dark. About their contribution titled “Areola Borealis,” vocalist/guitarist Joey Carbo states, “In my lyrics, you’ll find no shortage of themes of hopelessness… but this is probably the bleakest thing the band has intended to do.”
 
“Areola Borealis” is a frightening blend of sludge, doom, noise, and atmospheric scapes. WOORMS‘ debut album Slake immediately put the Louisiana trio in the same company as their famed contemporaries, and even landed them the opportunity to work with famed Today Is The Day mastermind Steve Austin not only on the production of their forthcoming album, but also a roster slot on his label, Supernova Records.

VELKA – PURGATORI IGNIS IUDICIUM Review by Varg The Mighty)

Today’s review is of Basque Black Metal band Velka’s debut album.

This release offers relentless, chaotic and excruciating Black Metal delivered with fury and combined with certain elements that may often make it more accurate to deem the release Blackened Death Metal, though always leaning towards the blackened side with darkness and desperation as main goals to transmit.

Despite the cold and harsh riffs blended with bits of elegance that always end up crushed beneath another violent blast, the excessive song lengths of every track combined with a vocal performance that needs some extra personality make the listener slightly bored through repetition. Perhaps the same album would’ve been more enjoyable with almost half the song lengths, and if the same essence of the band is channelled into more straightforward pieces in the future it will surely produce interesting results. My personal highlights are “Freezing Hell Isolation” and “The Imposed Punishment”.

I recommend this album to fans of Black Metal and Blackened Death Metal. My rating is of 8/10.
