Spill Your Guts - 'The Wrath It Takes' (PermaCityPunk Records / Trepanation Recordings / Graboid Of The Ground Records Release: 25 March 2022)


Shanghai (CN) - International Blackened Hardcore group SPILL YOUR GUTS will release sophomore full-length album The Wrath It Takes on March 25. The album will be released on vinyl format in five different color versions through PermCityPunk Records (Russia), Trepanation Recordings (UK) and Graboid Of The Ground Records (China).

SPILL YOUR GUTS (SYG) bring a raw, D.I.Y. hardcore spirit to a movement as transient as it is dangerous. Comprising a quartet of expatriate members — vocalist Dima (Russia), drummer Tyler (Canada), guitarist Larry (Scotland) and bassist Ian (Canada) — SYG were formed in 2012.

SYG teamed up with Scott Middleton from Cancer Bats, who not only produced, recorded and mastered the record, but helped the band define their own musical sound, as well as crafting their somewhat complicated story. SYG recorded at Schoolhouse Studios in Hamilton, Canada with the help of recording and mixing engineer Nick Ginn, and engineering assistant Andy Dmytryshyn.

In the band's own words:

"The Wrath It Takes is the record we’ve always dreamed of making; the record that will destroy venues while handing out high fives; the record that took us several years of hardship to write, produce and record. This record, more than anything we’ve ever released or written, sonically displays the emotional grit and turmoil that we endured to get to this point in our career as a band.

Each song on this record exhibits its own nuanced, balanced characteristics of melody and aggression fused with rasping vocals and ferocious percussion. As a band we lived through an extreme grasp on life by the government, which escalated into our homes being raided, constant live show raids and cancellations, arrests and deportations from the country. As we witnessed our scene being forced back into invite-only jam room studio shows, it seemed like personal problems just kept piling on top of it all. The resulting turmoil in our lives meant that lyrically this record took a much darker and deeper path than anything we’ve written before and focuses on a threaded narrative of personal liberation; from relationships, from governments, from societies and from very real turning points in our lives that we’ve all had to go through."


Influences and Inspiration:

Turbonegro, Kvelertak, Trap Them, Every Time I Die, The Bronx, All Pigs Must Die, Refused, and Shai Hulud

BIO
:

Over the years, contending with eleven separate members moving in and out of the country, as well as pressure from capricious government regulations, they experienced a flurry of roster changes. The band’s first live show was in April 2012, with a pair of live EPs released independently before 2014 when they issued the five-track Slip and Fall EP. Featuring a bloody delivery reminiscent of Kvelertak, Every Time I Die, and Trap Them, Slip and Fall was quickly followed by the one-off single “Poisoned Minds” later that summer.

A split 7” with Russian hardcore brethren Broken Fist dropped in January 2015. As SYG continued to tour in mainland China, they found their way to sweaty stages in Singapore, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur. In the summer of 2016, they released their follow-up EP, Full Blast, with country wide shows and festival appearances. 2017 saw SYG’s first full-length debut, Hungry Crows, followed by a small China tour and a 5,000+ km tour across Russia. In 2018 they continued to headline festivals in China, touring with Cancer Bats and co-headlining Silence Festival in Nepal.
 
SYG started off 2019 strong with two Canadian tours and then hitting Schoolhouse Studios for three weeks in Canada with producer Scott Middleton, where they recorded their (yet to be released) 2nd full length LP.

Vicente & Dave are old friends since the very beginnings of their main bands in 1991 and already worked together in projects like YSKELGROTH, UNWOM and the 3rd GOLGOTHA album, but they both felt the need to work on a proper Death Metal band, so DECRAPTED was born!! Not with the intention of reinventing the wheel, but to offer some old-school stuff with both intensity, brutality and a dose of melody and killer grooves!!

The debut album of DECRAPTED is entitled "Bloody Rivers of Death" and was recorded during summer 2021 with the help of Camilo Pirata on guest guitar solos and Miquel Angel Riutort "Mega" on drums, who also took care of recording, mixing and mastering the album at his own Psychosomatic Recording studios, achieving a truly great production!!

Lyrics on the album were written by Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, PUTREVORE, MASSACRE) and cover artwork was made by Ukrainian artist Daemorph Art who already worked for AVULSED & PUTREVORE

The tracklist for "Bloody Rivers of Death" is as follows:
01. Bleeding Devourment
02. Forcefed Human Flesh
03. Cook on the Stake

CHEMICIDE - "Common Sense"


Artist: CHEMICIDE
Release title: Common Sense
Label: RipRide Records
Release Date: 15-03-2022
Format: Digital, CD
Genre: Old School Thrash Metal
Country: Costa Rica


For fans of Kreator, Destruction, Dark Angel, Demolition Hammer, Testament


The new album, "Common Sense" is coming out on March 15 2022 through RipRide Records and distributed by MVD.

Chemicide started back in 2011 releasing their 1st EP titled Radioactive Annihilation. In April 2015 the band releases their first full-length "Episodes of Insanity" digitally through Bandcamp and shortly after, the album is picked up by Canadian label PRC Music to release on CD format. In 2017 the band hits the studio to record "The Act of Retaliation", the second full-length album, which allows the quartet to tour the northeastern part of Canada (Québec), a 10-day trek with local heroes Vortex.

In 2019 Chemicide releases their best seller to date, the “Inequality” album, selling over 3000 copies worldwide and the band went on yet again for a 13 date tour through Canada (Ontario, Québec and New Brunswick) and Mexico. COVID-19 stopped the touring plans for the band in 2020, so they went back to the studio to release 2 singles; an original titled "Uncertain Future" and a cover of Negative Approach’s “Tied Down”. The band went back to the studio in 2021, this time to record with Juan Pablo Calvo and for the 1st time mix and master the album with Argentinian artist and producer Martín Furia, who’s the lead guitarist for German Thrash Metal legends Destruction.

Their newest production is titled Common Sense and brings a raw sound combined with more aggressiveness and heavier riffs. The band went on signing with the new label RipRide Records, the new label run by Rémi Côté, co-owner of the now defunct PRC MUSIC label. RipRide is dedicated to heavy thrash and classic metal... which is keeping alive and well the strong relationship (more like a brotherhood really!) between Rémi and the boys in Chemicide.

This album was performed by Chemicide and recorded at Lúcuma Estudios and Apex Studios in Costa Rica, by Juan Pablo Calvo.

INVULTATION (US black/death) - "Unconquerable Death"




We’re proud to welcome into the family Ohio-based abhorrent death metal cataclysm Invultation, with the band’s masterful 2021 sophomore album "Unconquerable Death" released this month for the first time on vinyl, and the brand new third LP “Feral Legion” now at the pressing plant slated for a late 2022 release on all formats.

Originally self-released in early 2021, "Unconquerable Death" plumbs the depths of total aural savagery, manifesting death metal transmuted into one of its most feral and malefic forms yet. While the band's 2020 debut album "Wolfstrap" introduced Invultation as presence to reckon in the outer realms of bestial and lawless death metal, it is this release in particular - with its majestic wall of sound and chain reaction-like intensity - that has established the Columbus, OH-based one man project as an authentic scourge of creation. "Unconquerable Death" sees Invultation further refine its lupine/lycanthropic concept as a proclamation of total savagery and barbarity, while discharging a cataclysmic payload of unseen wrath and intensity into a thick as concrete production that pushes the atomic yield of death metal beyond is breaking point, materializing one of the most weaponized, devastating and animalistic death metal releases ever conceived in the underground. The album's cristalline production, unforgiving intensity and aggressively virtuosic execution exalted by crystalline leads and driven off the cliffs of oblivion by an arsenal of enormous death-bearing riffs, is an all-encompassing and celebratory end-times ritual to the glory of metal, and an unforgettable chapter, archetype and homage to its most extreme and destructive manifestations.

 

"Unconquerable Death" was released January 14 2022 for the first time on vinyl and is now available worldwide via all our our distribution channels.

Destillat - "Under Black Horizons" (Black Metal/Death Metal/Melodic Death from Germany)

Listen "Under Black Horizons"


Artist: Destillat
Release title: Under Black Horizons
Label: Self-Released
Release Date: 10-12-2021
Format: CD, Digital
Genre: Black Metal/Death Metal/Melodic Death Metal
Country: Germany

For fans of Primordial, Eluveitie, Opeth
Conceptually, this album is an observation on where we‘re at as a society today. The songs tell different stories that help us to reflect on what we might and might not have learned from the past and what we could do to turn the page on our currently not so bright looking future. Therefore, the album structure is built to take the listener on a cathartic journey. Starting off with a realization (Broken Chalice), through stories of genocide (Black 47), loss (The Forgotten sons Pt. II), corruption (The Forgotten Sons Pt. I), abuse (Black Horizons) until we finally write our „Last Chapter“. The last song though is an ode to what could make live on this planet so precious and valuable for all of us. Something that is soon to be lost but still holds a glimmer of hope. Something that is worth fighting for. The „Lost Chapter“.

Every song comes with its own artwork, all painted by our guitarist Nick Steinbeißer. The Cover Artwork was painted by Marie-Luise Thurm from „Tomasdottir Artworks“. The Layout was designed by Adrian Kietzman of "Abstrus Design".

The album was recorded at Off the Road Studios Leipzig and our own studio space in Leipzig. It was engineered and mixed by Steffen Tielcke at Off the Road Studios and mastered by Johannes Frank at Feinklang Mastering (also Leipzig).

Tracklist:
01 Broken Chalice (4:07)
02 Black 47 (7:04)
03 The Forgotten Sons Pt. II (5:09)
04 The Forgotten Sons Pt. I (5:45)
05 Black Horizons (6:50)
06 Last Chapter (4:10)
07 Lost Chapter (8:14)

De Arma (Sweden) - Strayed In Shadows - (Gothic Rock)


Release Date: June 25, 2021

FFO: Anathema, Katatonia, Paradise Lost

Location: Sweden

DE ARMA “Strayed in Shadows” Melancholy is a delicate matter. This haunting emotion can in one moment sting unbearably painful yet at other times even deliver a bittersweet pleasure to the afflicted. Yet there can be no doubt that this feeling permeates all of the songs on DE ARMA's sophomore full-length "Strayed in Shadows" in one way or the other. And while the Swedes shift musically in and out and between melancholic metal, gothic rock, shoegaze, and even post-punk, melancholy remains the duo's anchor point. Although geography is often overrated in the interpretation of music, there is no denying that long winters' darkness high up North seems to have an effect on artists. Frontman Andreas Pettersson hails from Arvisjaur in the historic Swedish province of Lappland and drummer Johan Marklund lives in the the town of Skellefteå, which lies just across the Gulf of Bothnia to the west of the Finnish town of Oulo – home of such renowned brothers in melancholic spirit as SENTENCED and CHARON. The North is leaving a dark mark on its people.

On "Strayed in Shadows" the line-up has undergone a significant change. In the place of FEN and FELLWARDEN mastermind Frank "The Watcher" Allain, who sang on the album debut "Lost, Alien & Forlorn" (2013), guitarist and bass-player Andreas Pettersson, who founded DE ARMA in 2009, took over vocal duties as he already does in STILLA among other bands. This decision was partly caused by the extremely personal nature of his lyrics for "Strayed in Shadows". Those, who have followed the many bands and projects of this very creative Swede might be surprised by his vocal expression in the album, which is supported by the beautiful guest performance of Maria Oja on the tracks 'Illusions of Love' and 'Days Of Judgement' – a constellation inviting comparison with acts such as ANATHEMA and ANTIMATTER. Particularly in those two song, but also throughout other passages on "Strayed in Shadows", another aspect of DE ARMA becomes more prominent: Despite all the darkness and melancholy inherent in the duo's songs, there is also a warm feeling of comfort and shelter. "This, album, 'Strayed in Shadows' reaches partially back to recordings that have been made years ago", explains frontman Andreas Pettersson. "In my mind, it has adopted many faces over time, both in negative and positive ways. DE ARMA has always been very important to me despite long periods of seeming inactivity. I could never shake the feeling that one day it would crawl back upon me, which has been both, a burden and an inspiration. The completion of this 'new' album marks the final stage of a journey as well as some kind of rebirth for DE ARMA and for me personally. To me, its identity has grown stronger over time and now the vision leading to it has fully materialised. 'Strayed in Shadows' reflects the feeling of being lost in oneself, to be lost in or without a profound relationship, and the hesitant longing for a future without change. While the album is based upon true events and personal experiences, I hope that listeners will find their own connections and interpretations." With "Strayed in Shadows", DE ARMA send a ray of light to invite you into their warm shelter in a sea of Nordic melancholy.
