Whore Of Bethlehem Releases New Album

Black Market Metal Label is proud announce the release today of Texas group Whore Of Bethlehem's newest offering entitled "Extinguish The Light."

Check out a lyric video for the title track below, and you can pick up your own copy of the release here. Black Market comments:

"Right out of the gate Whore Of Bethlehem's new album 'Extinguish The Light' exemplifies six-string mastery; a true balance of old and new schools of brutal death metal. Filled with (1) unmitigated brutality; (2) memorable songwriting; (3) great production; and (4) that you'll-know-it-when-you-hear-it 'wow' factor. The aesthetic here is one of 'all who enter abandon all hope.'"

Eyes Wide Open Posts "You Still Are You"

Following the release of two previous singles from upcoming album "And So It Begins," Eyes Wide Open is now back with an animated video for latest offering "You Still Are You."

Vocalist Erik Engstrand states: "This track is about the terrible past of someone who was bullied and now carries this burden for life. It describes how he has built an impenetrable wall of self contempt to protect himself from further disappointment. When someone tells them they are good enough, they won't hear it. Don't let the ghosts haunt you forever, you still are you."

Howling Giant Streaming "The Pioneer"

Writing tunes about space travel, doomed seafarers, and a sentient android hellbent on a camel-killing death crusade, Nashville's Howling Giant this past August shared part one of the three part "Black Hole Space Wizard" concept record series.

A year later, the nerd power trio returns with part two of the adventure set for release on August 25th, 2017. Playing self indulgent, drop tuned, fuzzed out riffs, "Black Hole Space Wizard: Part 2" is again produced by the band, mixed by Kim Wheeler and mastered by Chris Fasco.

The EP features six cosmic progressive travels of The Pioneer continuing his quest for self-discovery and purpose on the husk planet, Earth. Drummer Zach Wheeler comments:

"Hopefully for our returning fans, it is accepted with open arms and an open mind. As Part 2 of the 3 piece saga, this EP was meant to focus on the travels and trials of The Pioneer, protagonist, and last of mankind. The music reflects his growth and self discovery on a post-apocalyptic planet Earth. More...
