Dreamgrave Releases New Music Video
Hungarian progressive doom metal act Dreamgrave issued a new music video for the special violin edit of the track "False Sense of Confidence." The song is taken from the band's 2014 debut release "Presentiment."
On the video, composer/guitarist Dömötör Gyimesi commented: "The fact is, since Presentiment is being a prog/dark metal record, everyone happened to expect some kind of grandiose, twisted theater, but well, as 'False Sense of Confidence' is far the most uplifting song from the album we've decided to focus on the instruments instead of the story. The new violin parts are icing on the cake, creating an even more dramatic atmosphere!"
Composer/keyboardist János Mayer added: "With Krisztina joining the band I've got a new toy, and a totally new and unique way as well, to improve on the dramatic side of the songs, moving them to a completely new dimension. This is what you'll see and hear on the live shows, as well as on this video."

Album Covers Inspired By Movie Posters
Facebook community And Justice For Art and Metal Underground keep exploring the world of look-alike album covers. This time we're focusing on three artworks that are inspired (or keep a reasonable resemblance) with well-known movie posters. Were the bands and visual artists aware of this at the moment of creating the artworks or is it just a coincidence? Let's find out what they have to say... There will be more of these in future "And Justice For Art" episodes. Stay alert!
MESHUGGAH Vs. "ALIEN"
The first one is the artwork for Meshuggah's "Alive." In 2010, the infamous Swedish genre-bending band, decided to pay homage on the cover of their live CD/DVD to one of the most revered SciFi/Horror movies in history.
Drummer Tomas Haake took inspiration from the now iconic poster for the first "Alien" film and designed a cover that visually and conceptually praises the virtues of the original image, which features the Alien egg opening upside down and the unforgettable tagline "In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream."
In Meshuggah's case, Hakke changed the egg for the head of vocalist, Jens Kidman, and added the phrase "In Space No One Can Hear You Unless You Scream." This gives the whole effort, an humorous punch which is enhanced by the positioning of the lettering—pretty much identical to the original poster.
No doubt, the overall effect is quite satisfactory, especially because it comes from a band whose intricate music sometimes seems to come from outer space! More...

Unearthing An Eclectic Slice Of The Underground
Although we'll cover the big names like Metallica and Motorhead, our goal at Metalunderground.com is to always to bring the lesser known local bands that deserve your attention out of obscurity and into the collective metal consciousness.
To that end we periodically unearth bands you may not have had the chance to hear before that all offer up quality material. Today we'll cover a huge range of sound and even a massive number of miles between countries with three bands from different corners of Europe who all lean towards drastically different corners of the genre spectrum.
Postvorta
Experimental, ambient, introspective... Postvorta soothingly beckons you through smooth and seemingly stable sonic corridors, then unexpectedly blows up the ceiling and drops tons of bludgeoning metal on your head.
The Italian sound smiths have dubbed their music “post metal.” I call it “something you need to listen to immediately if you dig Neurosis or Isis.”
The full “Beckoning Light We Will Set Ourselves On Fire” album was self-released earlier this year and just last month saw a physical edition through Bleeding Light Records. The whole album can be heard through the player below, and you can pick up a digital or physical copy at this location.
Dreamgrave Releases New Album
Progressive dark metal band Dreamgrave just released new LP "Presentiment," which can be picked up at Bandcamp or streamed below.
After the unexpected success of the "Deadborn Dreams" demo, the band had troubles finding stable, lasting members. While the search has taken up several years, founder and band leader Dömötör Gyimesi continued working on new ideas, which eventually became the foundation for the "Presentiment" LP.
In September 2012 he met János Mayer, which resulted in a shifting of the songs towards a more progressive approach. In September 2013 the band started recording the demos with the beautiful soprano of Mária Molnár. After a lot of hard work and with the help of Gergo Drahota (VolumeFeeder) and Jeno Godó, the band finally went into the studio to record the "Presentiment" LP, a concept album consisting of eight dark metal movements.
The band issued the following breakdown of the track listing and each song's place within the album:
1. Ethereal Eternity: the realm of true emptiness, a world absent of life, dreams, fear and pain.
2. Black Spiral: stranded between two worlds trying to escape from the Spiral that hauls your soul into total annihilation.
3. Memento Mori: a metaphor for the recurring things in life you always think you can withstand - but in the end it breaks you every time.
4. The Last Drop Falls: the last attempt to emerge from the inevitable, ending in complete surrender.
5. Presentiment: images reminiscent of the future overrun your consciousness. Only a fracture of reality echoes in you leaving you paralyzed by fear - all you can do is breath in and out.
6. Presentiment (Part II): even with all the beauty and innocence of the unknown the uncertainty of it makes you tremble with fear.
7. False Sense of Confidence: the realization that the ignorance-based extreme self-confidence will eventually devour your whole existence.
8. It's Ubiquitous: the dissolution of this encompassing premonition, that states that there is still some hope left for us. The darkness surrounding us all dissolves into the light - since darkness is just the lack of light. More...
