Ektomorf Premiere New Single & Music Video
Ektomorf enlisted director Valentin Varga to create the music video for their latest single, "I'm Your Last Hope (The Rope Around Your Neck)." This track is the opening song from their upcoming album "Vivid Black," set for release on November 10th through AFM Records.
Ektomorf Shares New Music Video
Since their debut, "Hangok" (1994), the four-piece around singer/guitarist Zoltán "Zoli" Farkas has regularly delivered new power to their devotees. With their return to form on "Reborn," Ektomorf impressively showcase their undeniable thrash metal power. Today, they’ve released a new video for their single "Fear Me" off Reborn!
Guitarist & Singer Zoltán "Zoli" Farkas about "Fear Me":
"One more video from the Reborn album, dedicated to the Ektomorf family across the globe! I hope this will make your day! 'Fear Me' is tight and heavy riffing, with some amazing harmonies in the mid part. I send this song to those in my life who deserve it on a maximum level! You’re welcome to do the same."
Only three years after the release of their chart-breaking full-length, "Fury" (2018), "Reborn" ignites a blazing fire with its heavy sound and harsh lyrics that will burn any genre limitations to the ground. Their 15th studio album breathes the spirit of the "Big Four" – Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth – while at the same time, beginning a completely independent new chapter of Ektomorf. More...
Ektomorf Posts New Music Video Online
Ektomorf has revealed the third single off their upcoming album, "Reborn," out January 22 via Napalm Records! On "Smashing The Past," the Hungarian thrash metal power machine is at their best: speedy, crushing guitar riffs and smashing drums upon angry, hateful vocals by singer and guitarist Zoltan “Zoli” Farkas, topped off with a dizzying guitar solo. This is thrash metal in its truest form!
Singer/Guitarist Zoli Farkas says about "Smashing The Past":
"This was the very first song I wrote for Reborn - not a single note, nor a beat changed since the day of writing this song until the day we recorded this in the studio. You can still prominently feel the influences from our predecessor album Fury on this track: fast, aggressive, with a groovy breakdown and spiced with a killer solo to top it off! In my opinion, this it’s the perfect last single off the new album - pure thrash!" More...

Brutal Assault Festival Band Upddate Announced
Brutal Assault Festival announces another band update for its upcoming 2019 edition. Tells the festival promotion agency:
"Let’s open this mega update with a black metal stormblast! Over seven years, deathlike silence has filled the halls of the world’s biggest black metal forge, whilst powers have been gathering to resurrect the band right in time for their 25th anniversary. And now DIMMU BORGIR have finally returned with a vicious work of art that is their latest album Eonian and they are coming to storm the main stage at Brutal Assault!
Wicked aural filth comes from the islands with GODFLESH, who are highly regarded as one of the pioneers of industrial metal; they took industrial to the next level with their fuse of heavy guitars and mixing it with slow drum loops and effects and their unique approach has spawned several musical styles since their conception.
Brutal Assault will also present a combo of iconic thrashers that need no introduction, ANTHRAX and SACRED REICH will make it to the fest alongside upcoming crossover thrash ministry IRON REAGAN and a staple name of the genre PRONG. More...
