Inhuman Condition Shares New Music Video
Florida death metal vets Inhuman Condition have released the first new song, "Recycled Hate," from their eagerly awaited sophomore album, "Fearsick," that's due out on July 15th. The trio, which features vocalist/drummer Jeramie Kling (Venom Inc, Ex-Deo, The Absence), guitarist Taylor Nordberg (Deicide, The Abesence) and bassist Terry Butler (Obituary, Death, Massacre, Six Feet Under), will onceagain be self-releasing the album on Kling/Nordberg's own Listenable Insanity Records. In addition to the 9 new blistering tracks, the band has recorded a series of cover songs to be delegated to the labels they have signed license deals with for their CD releases.
The new single is accompanied by a music video filmed by Deidra Kling and edited by Jeramie Kling. Watch below.
Nordberg comments on the new song "Recycled Hate":
"The release of Recycled Hate is extra special for us, not only because it launches our second album, but also because it was the first song that was written by Jeramie and I for the albums that became Rat°God and Fearsick back in the fall of 2019. It’s also worth noting that our good pal Paul Mazurkiewicz wrote the lyrics and vocal patterns for this song. We can’t wait to unleash the rest of the album and hit the road this summer!" More...

Buried Realm Releases Lyric Video
Buried Realm, the solo project of Josh Dummer, has a new offering coming out this summer, another well composed melodic death metal album featuring several well-known guests filling out the tracks. The second single is "Quicksand Memory" featuring Christopher Amott of Dark Tranquillity and formerly Arch Enemy. He is also featured on the track "The Iron Flame." Dummer explains the meaning behind the single:
"It encompasses the overall vibe of the album, musically. The lyrics were written about forms of dementia, time/ memory loss - not understanding where you are, or who you are at times. The thought of sudden absence is terrifying."
Listen to "Quicksand Memory" below. The self-titled album will be available on June 3, 2022. More...
Sinner Signs With Atomic Fire Records
Atomic Fire Records today welcomes German hard rock quartet Sinner to its expanding roster. The band will release a 12-track full-length, aptly titled "Brotherhood," this summer. Produced by frontman Mat Sinner and co-produced by guitarist Tom Naumann, "Brotherhood" was recorded by Basi Roeder at Backyard Studios as well as Mitch Kunz at Apollo 13 Audio, and mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Denmark.
Vocalist/bassist Mat Sinner comments, "We're enormously happy to be a new member of the Atomic Fire Records family and to work with many great ex-colleagues. 'Brotherhood' simply is such a strong album that we need their motivated and loyal team to make it a big success."
Says Atomic Fire Records CEO Markus Wosgien, "We've been connected and good friends with Mat Sinner and his band mates for a long time. To welcome Sinner at Atomic Fire Records is nothing but a matter of the heart for us because - like Primal Fear - they're a very important part of our past but now also of our present and future again; and we're even prouder and happier about their monstrous new album that was crafted in brilliant teamwork by Mat (mostly) alongside Tom Naumann. 'Brotherhood' is a heavy, straight and hard-hitting opus, graced with an impressive amount of guests and friends. The album title says it all - it's definitely another masterful addition to the already long listing of great Sinner records."
More information on Sinner's upcoming record as well as a taster in the form of the first digital single and pre-order details will be presented soon.
Sicksense Posts New Music Video Online
Nu-metal newcomers Sicksense featuring Killer V (Vicky Psarakis of The Agonist) and Rob The Ripper (Robby J. Fonts of Stuck Mojo), have unveiled their new single / video "Forgotten Days," taken from their upcoming debut EP Kings Today, out 22 April. You can check out the video below.
Rob The Ripper commented: "'Forgotten Days' was inspired by a dark period in my life. I was heading in the wrong direction and making bad decisions. The lyrics have a conversational tone between two people, with one fighting to pull the other from a deep depression and look to a brighter future together. The entire song is a metaphor for getting yourself out of a dark place with the help of those closest to you." More...
Amorphis And Eluveitie Announce European Tour
With concerts finally returning, the time has come for AMORPHIS and ELUVEITIE to team up for an extensive European Co-Headline Tour kicking off in November 2022.
For more than thirty years, Finnish dark metallers AMORPHIS have done their best to carve their very own niche in heartfelt yet aggressive, melancholic yet soothing tunes.

With uncounted global tours under their belt and fourteen albums deep in their career, Amorphis still prove to be the musical fountain of youth, an extraordinary band constantly reinventing itself without abandoning its mystical roots.
Amorphis' guitarist Tomi Koivusaari adds: "Halo! We are thrilled to announce our co-headlining European tour with the mighty Eluveitie. We've just released our 14th album 'Halo' and we can't wait to play it and of course stuff from our whole career live for you. Don't miss this, there also might be some more pleasant surprises to the line up later on…"
Eluveitie founding member Chrigel Glanzmann comments on the upcoming tour:
"It hasn't exactly become lighter in this world lately. Nonetheless there is still pleasant and joyful news. We cannot wait to finally start touring again after more than two really weird years. It feels unreal almost!
"As if this isn't enough we're super stoked to announce the line-up of this tour - definitely one of the coolest tour line-ups in our entire career. Being on the road together with dear friends and some of our personal all-time favourite bands - that's really just more than I expected! We can't wait to see you all again!”
