Presentamos a SIXSTRINGS (hard rock desde Barcelona) y su "No future" (SPA)


 

SIXSTRINGS es el proyecto creado por José Salvador después de años de tocar en el grupo de versiones “Rock On”, por salas míticas de Barcelona. El primer disco compuesto, interpretado y producido íntegramente por él, “Cries of the Soul” fue lanzado el 14 de enero de 2019, y ya tenemos aquí “No future”, como excelente continuación y que merece toda la atención.
 
Información sobre el nuevo disco:
 
SIXSTRINGS publicó el 25 de noviembre el segundo álbum de estudio, titulado “No Future” (que podemos escuchar aquí) que consta de 6 temas entre los que destaca un tema acústico dedicado a los niños de la guerra, colaborando la violinista y corista inglesa Anna-María Luton.
 
El disco, grabado en los estudios WheelSound de Barcelona con el productor Txose Ruiz (ex miembro de la banda NO WAY OUT y que ha trabajado con nombres importantes del rock y metal de Cataluña como ´77 o CRISIX), y en los estudios Vallestage de Parets del Vallés, fue presentado el pasado 9 de diciembre en la sala Ceferino de Barcelona. Sin duda se ha conseguido un sonido moderno y potente que encaja bien con el estilo de la banda en directo.

A nivel musical, destaca la evolución en las composiciones y la brillante calidad en la producción, creando un sonido moderno y potente dentro del entorno del hard rock actual, pero a la vez atemporal, que profesa la banda de manera indisimulada. 
A nivel conceptual, letrístico incluso y demás, destaca la expresión de sentimientos vividos en momentos duros de la vida, de la sociedad y la búsqueda de la esperanza para poder salir de esos momentos donde a veces parece que no hay futuro.

El propio título “No Future” refleja los momentos complicados que vivimos como sociedad, en un tiempo post-pandémico, donde nueva guerras han aflorado y donde las crisis son constantes, donde el futuro es incierto.
 
Tracklist del disco: 

  1. Burst the flame
  2. Best days of our lives
  3. No future
  4. The darkness inside me
  5. Coming home tonight
  6. Kids of the war (acoustic) 

Por otro lado, y volviendo al espectro netamente musical, las seis canciones de las que se compone el disco tienen influencias de bandas clásicas como VAN HALEN, MÖTLEY CRUE o AEROSMITH, y también más actuales como AIRBOURNE, ALTER BRIDGE o THUNDERMOTHER por dar dos nombres de espectros diferentes pero muy complementarios.

Eso sí, las canciones del álbum son diferentes entre sí, algunas rozando géneros más alternativos y otras moviéndose cómodamente por el stoner rock con influencias indisimuladas a lo BLACK SABBATH (como en el propio tema que da título al disco).

Cabe destacar el corte acústico Kids of the War, con la colaboración de la violinista y corista inglesa Anna-María Luton, del cual vemos el vídeoclip correspondiente. El tema está dedicado a los niños de la guerra y al sufrimiento que padecen estos, siendo víctimas inocentes del horror y la ambición. Pura denuncia, rabia e impotencia sobre los momentos más oscuros y crudos vividos en cualquier tipo de conflicto armado.

La banda está disponible para entrevistas y también nos podéis solicitar la promo del nuevo disco para pinchar en radio y demás. Más información en el enlace digital del disco en FFM, y en el Presskit completo del grupo. . 

Formación del grupo: 
José Salvador (Guitarra, Voz) / Ricard Fernández (Bajo, coros) / Juan Miguel Martínez (Batería). 
Colaboración especial: Anna-María Luton (Violín – Coros)

PLAGUE BEARER: Decibel Magazine Premieres “Antichristian Inquisition” By Seattle Black/Death Act; Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation LP Nears Release On Nameless Grave Records

As Seattle, Washington-based blackened death metal quartet PLAGUE BEARER prepares for the Nameless Grave Records release of their debut LP Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation, Decibel Magazine delivers the lead single to the monstrous record, today premiering “Antichristian Inquisition.”
 
Born on the wings of pestilence out of a thirty-year slumber, PLAGUE BEARER is primarily known as a primitive blackened Satanic brother long-running act Drawn And Quartered. The band has produced a string of underground demos and EPs over the years but never committed to a definitive full-length until now. Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation delivers a devastating triple-pronged vocal assault supported by brutal melodic riffing and pummeling drums heralding the end of this pathetic existence.
 
The production of Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation is clear without being sterile, allowing every instrument to freely breath and speak. Guitars, bass, and vocals were self-engineered at K.S. Kuciemba's home studio The Plague Pit, while drums were recorded with Jon Schluckebier at Radioactive Recording. Mixing duties were handled by Andrew Lee (Ripped To Shreds) who contributed a guest solo on “Rise Of The Goat,” the album was mastered by Loic Fontaine of Krucyator Productions, and the record was completed with cover art by Thomas Westphal/Necromaniac and layout by Obscure Visions.
 
With the new single, the band proclaims, “PLAGUE BEARER brings ‘Antichristian Inquisition.’ Goat age death/black metal assault upon all that is holy. Satan chaos commands persecution of the faithful.”
 
Decibel writes with the song’s debut, “It’s a wretched, unrelenting assault of hellish death metal with sick and twisted vocal utterances and sulfurous guitar pyrotechnics. Not a bad way to introduce/reintroduce the band after so many years.”
 
Stream PLAGUE BEARER’s "Antichristian Inquisition" first at Decibel Magazine RIGHT HERE.
 
Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation will be released on LP, CD, and digital formats through Nameless Grave Records on March 3rd. Preorders have been issued through the label’s webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE.
 
Stand by for additional audio previews of the album to be issued over the weeks ahead.
 
PLAGUE BEARER in its most primordial form created death metal demos in 1993 and 1994, but lineup changes resulted in a rebranding to Drawn And Quartered in 1996. Nevertheless, guitarist K.S. Kuciemba (Drawn And Quartered, Draghkar, Serpent Rider) was determined to keep the Satanic flame alive, slowly amassing simpler, eviler blackened riffs with partner H (Drawn And Quartered, ex-Vetus Obscurum), releasing a demo in 2001 and EP in 2006 with Nuclear Winter Records. In 2017, K and H reunited with longtime ally T on drums, along with vocalist Nihilist (ex-Abazagorath, ex-Lord Gore, ex-Thy Infernal), to infect the Pacific Northwest with live rituals.
 
While Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation is laden with the legacies of its storied members, it never loses its individuality. Existing beyond the stylistic trappings of death and black metal, PLAGUE BEARER raises a middle finger to the modern scene. Evil is the only way! The album is a must-hear for fans of Drawn And Quartered, Imprecation, Thy Infernal, and Fallen Christ.
 
Review copies of Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation are currently being dispatched. For all coverage of PLAGUE BEARER contact dave@earsplitcompound.com.

ENDORPHINS LOST: BrooklyVegan Premieres “Fear Him” From Pacific Northwest Hardcore/Powerviolence Group; Night People Full-Length To See Release Next Month

“…a 46-second, whiplash-inducing song…” -- BrooklynVegan
BrooklynVegan is currently streaming “Fear Him” from Pacific Northwest hardcore/powerviolence outfit ENDORPHINS LOST. The quick and riotous bruiser comes off the band’s long-awaited Night People full-length, set to drop February 3rd via a joint partnership with Rotten To The Core and To Live A Lie Records.
 
This life gets harder every day. No one is coming to the aid of the helpless and the streets are filled with the voices of the anguished and disenfranchised. May it come as some comfort that ENDORPHINS LOST continues to echo the sound of the compromised through ripping fury, fire, anguish, violence, and pain until a better future presents itself. The band has evolved mightily since its inception in 2010, refining their raw grind/crust rudiments by shaping the sonic landscape to be a more focused and controlled chaos. Combining the simplicity of hardcore punk with manic flourishes of stop-and-go powerviolence and at times diving into plodding sludge passages, the music has ascended into a more calculating predator and less of a feral beast.
 
ENDORPHINS LOST’s lyrical content has always been a scathing review of the treatment of mental health and the dereliction of duty when it comes to the state of the average person’s social equity. With Night People, ENDORPHINS LOST sheds light on the lives of the “underclass;” the ones who know what life is like in the blood, filth, and shattered glass of a life unwound. The music is just a reflective representation of how the lyrics feel: a caged ferocity that lies dormant, silenced by time and now clearing its path.

Boasting fourteen ravenous tracks, Night People was recorded by Brandon Hayden at the Sunroom in Prescott, Arizona during December 2020 and mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer in Oakland, California in February 2022.
 
Comments the band of “Fear Him,” “This song is a self-implosion story. It’s about an old, white supremacist dirtbag of a dying generation attempting to reclaim his youth and vitality through the grooming of younger generations to follow in his footsteps. It’s a day in the life perspective of a real bad man winding down the last moments of his life, ultimately being destroyed by his actions set in motion. Predators like this are always the same, extending their personal crusades and ‘legacy’ by way of false bravado and pumped-up hate speech as selling points to young and impressionable, pissed off people. And when these kinds of ethically stunted, backwards people die violent deaths, it’s no surprise and it’s no great loss to anyone. The violent death of a violent person is death by natural causes as far as we are concerned - natural to the type of life they lived. A morally conscious society looks onto a brighter day, with one less hate filled dinosaur walking among us.”
 
Stream “Fear Him,” now playing at BrooklynVegan, HERE.
 
Stream the band’s previously released single, “Regulation Area Bombing,” HERE.
 
Night People will be released on limited edition vinyl and digitally. Preorders will be available on January 20th via Rotten To The Core HERE, To Live A Lie Records HERE, and the ENDORPHINS LOST Bandcamp page HERE.
 
ENDORPHINS LOST have a pair of Night People record release shows booked in February in Seattle and Portland respectively as well as a West Coast tour with French deathgrinders Whoresnation this June. More details to be unveiled in the weeks to come.
 
ENDORPHINS LOST Record Release Shows:
2/03/2023 Lucky Liquor – Seattle, WA w/ Theories, Tithe
2/04/2023 Black Water – Portland, OR w/ Netherrealms, Spill

Necktwister welcomes Spectral Damnation for album release and bookings!


 

Necktwister is stoked to announce the signing of Belgian black metal band Spectral Damnation!


Spectral Damnation is an anti-religious Black Metal band hailing from Belgium. For fans of devilish blastbeats, powerful riffs, martial vocals and orchestral synth notes. The band presents its first full album “Extra Æcclesiam” in alliance with Necktwister  on February 23th, 2023.


Extra Æcclesiam means “Out of the Church”. The album accuses the enslaving christian order over the world. The album brings the holy writings to light, tools of power of mankind, and the perversion of self-proclaimed spiritual authorities since the origins of Church.


Today, January 19, 2023, the band is revealing its first video for the song ‘Serpents On A Cross’.

EISENKULT set release date for new PURITY THROUGH FIRE album, reveal first track - features members of MAVORIM, TOTENWACHE


 Today, Purity Through Fire announces March 21st as the international release date for Eisenkult's highly anticipated third album, Vulgäre, deutsche Hassmusik, on CD, A5 digipack, and cassette tape formats. The vinyl LP version will follow later this year.

Although they made their public debut in 2020 with the full-length ...gedenken wir der Finsternis, Eisenkult have quickly become a flagship band for Purity Through Fire. Perhaps it's not surprising given that they include members of labelmates Mavorim and Totenwache, but Eisenkult's swift ascent was built on the back of that first full-length and the successive ...von Himmel, hoch herab album and a split with new labelmates Atronos, these collective recordings displaying the purest Teutonic BLACK METAL steel: proudly and unapologetically traditional, forged in the fire of the mid '90s but by no means blinkered by the past - and of course, perfect for Purity Through Fire's banner.

Striking while the iron's white-hot, Eisenkult now unleash their fourth recording in as many years, Vulgäre, deutsche Hassmusik. For those with even a faint familiarity with German, the title to Eisenkult's third album should roughly & rudely say everything it needs to - indeed, a steel-toed assertion of the trio's core values. But whereas the preceding full-length upped the folkloristic side of their second-wave classicism, Eisenkult further finesse that side with their latent hooliganism: instantly catchy, almost major-chorded in its triumphant surge, but still a tragic element coursing through their medieval surge. And whereas the band employed evocative 8-bit-styled intros on their preceding records, here on Vulgäre, deutsche Hassmusik do they integrate those baroque textures across the whole album, thereby making the 40-minute work that much more stunning as well as unique. Again, very much BLACK METAL in all caps, but also respectful  enough of the artform to gird it with stouter and arguably more stunning chainmail.

No other words are necessary: ancient-days Teutonic black metal continues to be on the rise, and Eisenkult are leading the charge with Vulgäre, deutsche Hassmusik!

Join that charge with the brand-new track "Bizarr und erbärmlich" HERE at Purity Through Fire's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:



Tracklisting for Eisenkult's Vulgäre, deutsche Hassmusik

1. Anrufung
2. Der Teufel hat´s gesandt
3. Bizarr und erbärmlich
4. Da ist nichts
