[Heavy Metal] ARTAMENE - "Ziggurat"

ARTAMENE's album "Ziggurat" is available for review / airplay!
If interested in interviewing the band please just get in touch and we'll set everything up for you! "Ziggurat" will be out on the 21st of January, 2022 via Wormholedeath worldwide.

 

"Ziggurat is based on Iranian ancient mythology which we tried to show human life in the era that we are living, especially ourselves as an Iranian metal band who are labeled as satan worshipers and accused as an anti-cultural wave and relate it to the storyline which was told."

"Artamene’s Ziggurat is a blistering yet not overpowering journey into Persian mythology. The album is heavy and progressive yet still melodic."

Sweden's prolific post-metal band Cult of Luna have revealed their expansive new single "Into the Night" off their forthcoming album, The Long Road North. The record is one of their most beautiful and dynamic works to date which is palpably heard on the latest single. Guitarist and vocalist Fredrik Kihlberg explains, "'Into the Night' is about the search for something or someone that's been lost. It's about being in the state between conscious and unconscious, awake and dreaming. Seeing, hearing and experiencing things and not knowing if it's real or imagination."

YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music | Bandcamp

For over two decades Cult of Luna have forged a sound incomparable to others - ambitious, epic, visceral, and drenched in emotion. The Long Road North marks as a follow-up to last year's The Raging River EP. As is the case with every album from the band in recent years, there is a lot of shifting of dynamics and sonic density, and perhaps more so than usual on The Long Road North. "It's a big and cinematic sounding album. I think one of the reasons why we have been able to be so productive the last couple of years is that we have been consistently writing from the heart. We have let our instincts guide us, and I think it's getting clearer where we are heading," reveals vocalist/guitarist Johannes Persson, who has been one of the primary driving forces behind the band since their inception.

Persson continues, "The long road north is a long road home. A direction dictated by a call that penetrates rock and echoes through the forest. It flows over every lake, accelerated by the wind. When it reaches you, you know it's time. Time to move forward. You don't know where it will lead but you put the trust in it. With eyes raised towards the midnight sun it pulls you closer. The road is long and the end is uncertain."

The Long Road North is out February 11 via Metal Blade Records and features guest appearances from composer Colin Stetson, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz of French indie band Phoenix, and Mariam Wallentin (Wildbirds And Peacedrums).

Recognized for their apocalyptic live performances that unrestrainedly explore the audience's imagination, Cult of Luna will bring their stunning live show to fans just in time as The Long Road North hits shelves worldwide. Currently they are confirmed to tour UK and EU next Spring with Alcest, Caspian and Holy Fawn - North American dates to follow. For a full list of dates, see below and to purchase tickets, go here.

6 years have gone by since the Swiss band RIZON enchanted the melodic fans with "Power Plant". And they seem to have had a great time, because that's exactly what the new release PRIME TIME sounds like! Infectious songs like "Love Your Life" or "Fuckin' Rock It" exemplify the mood of RIZON. Positive energy is packed in wonderful melodies and arranged with the necessary heaviness to inspire fans of bands like Pretty Maids, Dynazty or the genre giants Avantasia. PRIME TIME is again the production of Jacob Hansen! Once more he has proven how masterfully he can fuse melody with heaviness and power. The voices of Matt and Anastasia complement each other wonderfully, the guitars are rocking and the synth adds the extra atmosphere to the typical RIZON sound. RIZON... time to fuckin' rock it, time for PRIME TIME!

We are very proud to present you the new german Thrash Metal Formation „LESSON IN VIOLENCE“ from Schweinfurt, Bavaria.

It's always hard to find a name for your baby. We wanted a name that expresses the message in our music and gives you an idea for what it's all about. Further should every metalhead know what's going on by just reading the name of the band. So we helped ourselves by leaning on to one of the greatest Thrash Metal bands who have always been a huge influence to us all. “Lesson in Violence” was born in summer 2019, named after a song by Exodus. It is our aim to deliver fuckin good Thrash Metal without any triviality that goes straight through the heart.

Violence in music ... and nowhere else! Actually we create a set to bring the violence on stage, dealing with social media and generating the whole stuff around to be prepared for upcoming shows in 2022. Hopefully pandemic situation is getting much better next months!

We are looking for bands, fans, locations, event organizers and promoters to support our live ambitions. Thrash or be Thrashed.
