Kreator And Sepultura Announce North American Tour

The time has come! Shadows loom over North America with an ominous silence hanging in the air as heaven and hell alike prepare to witness: Klash Of The Titans. German thrash legends Kreator have joined forces with Brazilian metal giants Sepultura for an unrivalled North American co-headline tour in May and June of 2023.

Since the mid-80s, the two bands have shaped heavy music like few others by always sticking to their ferocious guns. At the same time, they’ve never shied away from re-inventing themselves: going from strength to strength and leaving a path of scorched earth in their trailblazing wakes. With new albums "Hate Über Alles" and "Quadra" towering strong at the peak of their respective discographies, these Titans are truly standing taller than ever in 2023.

Kreator’s Mille Petrozza states: "I’m really happy to be back in the US this May with the mightiest of all... Sepultura. A new ‘Klash Of The Titans’ partnership and an absolutely stacked bill from start to finish. I’m looking forward to checking out Spiritworld live - a great new band with big riffs. Plus sharing the stage with the legendary Death Angel. Awesome! Can’t wait... see you in the pit!"

Sepultura’s Andreas Kisser adds: "I’m very excited to be back in North America with our friends and my personal idols Kreator! They were a very strong influence in our early days, and it’s great to see they are stronger than ever, which is how I feel with Sepultura as well. It's going to be a historical run. Thrilled to have our brothers from Death Angel and the awesome Spiritworld with us. Do not miss this, metal is alive and well, so let’s celebrate ‘Klash of the Titans North America 2023’ on the road! See you all soon!"

The tour dates are as follows: More...

In Flames Debuts "Meet Your Maker" Music Video

The clock is ticking... on February 10th, Swedish modern metal visionaries In Flames will release their fourteenth studio album "Foregone" - the new masterpiece from a band whose artistry and influence on modern metal is undeniable.

Today, In Flames release the fifth single from "Foregone" - "Meet Your Maker" is a pulsating track with a hypnotizing power and furious anger. Like a raw nerve exposed, the song speaks of the desperation and frustration brought on by the chaotic dystopia of post-pandemic society.

Front man Anders Fridén states, "When we started to write for 'Foregone,' 'Meet Your Maker' became the song that set the tone in terms of what we were aiming for sonically as well as thematically. You’ll see it’s everything you’ve come to expect from In flames and some. Enjoy and see you on the road in 2023!" More...

New Suicide Silence Album To Be Released In March

Suicide Silence has shared a brutally amusing music video for new single "Alter Of Self," complete with psychotropics and zombification. The track is taken from the band's upcoming seventh album, "Remember...You Must Die", due 10th March via Century Media. You can check out the video below.

"'Alter of Self,' musically, is a step in a much more melodic direction than the tracks we've released as of late," says guitarist Mark Heylmun. "It's speaking a much different language, but still has all the bone-shattering groove and breakdowns you'd expect from us. Lyrically, the song isn't difficult to interpret. It's about doing such a large dose of mind-altering substance or substances that you begin to worship yourself as god. Tune in and drop out on this one."

"Remember... You Must Die" was produced and mixed by Taylor Young (NAILS, Xibalba, Vitriol). For the artwork, the band enlisted renowned Necrosurrealist artist David Van Gough to visualise the concept. More...

Electric Wizard Added To Mystic Festival Line-up

From bone-shattering and soul-burning riffs of the one and only Electric Wizard, through progressive metalcore of Spiritbox, all the way to eccentric noise rock of Helms Alee – you know well that at Mystic Festial you will hear all types of extreme sound.

Finnish Lost Society entwines their tributes to thrash classics with metalcore innovations. Imminence does a very similar thing, although they heed less to the old school, and drift more towards groove. Vended, after their successful tour with Slipknot, are bent on breaking out on their own – and you can see that in their music. White Hills will take you flying high with their psychedelic music, and with Spirit Adrift you soar even higher with their unique take on heavy metal. Ukrainian band 1914 will tell you their grizzly stories of the trenches of WWI, which show that, sadly, history often repeats itself.

You like experiments? Otto Van Schirach invites you to a diabolic techno party, Author & Punisher is ready up to fire up his head-grinding machinery, Five The Hierophant will drag you through the dungeons whose walls are paved with sounds too extreme for fans of jazz and too messed up for fans of black metal or doom metal. Doodseskader are hardly classifiably as a band – they knock your teeth out with their mix of sludge, hardcore, post-metal and rap.

Djevel means “devil” in Norwegian. So you know what to expect – the band will bring black metal blaze straight from Oslo. The gates of hell will also have other doormen at the festival – Au-Dessus. While Tuskar will burn their amplifiers with their sludge/doom sound.

Polish scene will be represented by a wide spectrum of bands, from melodic punk rock through stoner and thrash, to death/grind: Sunnata, Drown My Day, Hostia, Dom Zly, Krzta, Izzy And The Black Trees, The Dog, Sanity Control, CF 98, Gorycz, Mag and Moonstone. We also welcome Stengah, Hell:On as well as Exorcizphobia to Mystic Festival line-up.

We remind that the festival’s line-up already includes Ghost, Danzig, Gojira, Meshuggah, Behemoth, The Hellacopters, Testament, Watain, Moonspell, Perturbator, Exodus, Dismember, Voivod, Alcest, Sleep Token, Unleashed, Carpathian Forest, Grave, Soen, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons (with a Motörhead set), Godflesh, Primitive Man, Earthless, Lucifer, Greg Puciato, Wolfheart, Lord Of The Lost, Defleshed, Nothing More, Horskh, Heriot, Sylvaine, Employed To Serve, Planet Of Zeus, Antimatter, Darkher, Molybaron, Bombus, Ne Obliviscaris, LLNN, Pupil Slicer, Birds In Row, Witchmaster, Undeath, Necrotted, Akhlys, Lili Refrain, Bury Tomorrow, Orbit Culture, Mord'A'Stigmata, Kanonenfieber, Nyrst, Black Mirrors and Pure Bedlam.
