Divider Announces "All Barren" Album

Nearly a decade after its formation, Divider will deliver a first full-length album titled "All Barren" on September 23rd via Glory Kid Ltd. The following press release was also issued:

"All Barren is Divider's debut full-length yet the Long Island, New York band has been making records since 2006 – a Kurt Ballou-recorded debut EP and a split with Bone Dance, among others. Through many changes in personnel, the band has persisted almost ten years, touring the nation alongside other standouts of the DIY circuit like Capsule and Khann.

"The All Barren lineup consists of vocalist Chris Tzompanakis – former frontman of Skycamefalling – founder/guitarist Anthony Fusco, bassist Peter Gerontakos, and drummer Victor Mouradian.

"All Barren is the sound of a band plowing forward after years of internal and external turmoil: lineup changes, lawsuits, and, most recently, the complete destruction of frontman Tzompanakis' home in Hurricane Sandy.

"Not unlike the relentless advance of that hurricane, All Barren is a campaign of mid-paced devastation that blankets the senses and dwarfs the will. From opener 'Crow Eater' onward, this is music that barrels forth unstoppably with a life of its own, radiating power. More...

Kafirun Streaming "Death Worship" EP

Hailing from Canada, Kafirun's "Death Worship" EP is the reflection of hate and darkness that dwells in man's heart. Out now in digital format, you can hear the tracks below or download your own copy at Bandcamp here. The following press release was also issued about the EP:

"Eternal glorification of the ever devouring darkness and death, dissolution of the soul and life!!! Spiritual death and re-creation of the self over god's image. There are no keyboards. There are no flutes. There are no abrupt digressions into other styles of music. There’s no fusion with folk or trip-hop or other non-metal. There aren’t any operatic vocals, or angelic female vocals – no sung vocals at all, in fact.

"On 'Death Worship,' atmosphere comes first, and to generate it the band seems to draw from every aesthetic resource available within their chosen discipline, rapidly shifting between mid-paced guitar churning, blasting tremolo and a few slower segments as the situation demands. Religion hating, true black metal from start to finish."

The track listing is as follows:

1. Beyond The Flesh Vessel
2. Killer Of All Man
3. Thousand Spears More...

Fractured Spine Releasing New Album

Fractured Spine's new album "Memoirs Of A Shattered Mind" is due out August 1st via Inverse Records, and today a new track from the release can be heard below. Inverse Records also comments:

"Starting out with instrumentals and ballads, Fractured Spine’s music quickly evolved into heavier death/doom metal. However, few songs were released to the public before 2012 with one notable exception being the very limited edition demo “Frost” in 2008. The band still draws its main influences from outside the metal genre, often from progressive rock and shoegazing.

"The line-up consists of two core members Antti (instruments, vocals) and Timo (vocals), with occasional visits from session musicians and guest vocalists. All songs are recorded and mixed at the band’s Studio Fracture, with only mastering, publishing and distribution given to professionals
outside the band. More...

Nothgard Announces "Age Of Pandora" Album

German melodic death metal band Nothgard will release second full-length album "Age of Pandora" this coming September 12th, 2014. Artwork for the release was handled by Peter Sallai. Vocalist/guitarist Dom R. Crey comments:

"With 'Age Of Pandora' we've made, what we haven't reached with it's album predecessor. Aggression combined with harmony, technical parts combined with silent nuanced, more emotional, orchestral passages. Even on the lyrical level I'm very satisfied this time.

"There are no clichés at all on this new album, but true real-life topics and our very own feelings, which have a deep meaning for me and the band. Simply perfect for our fans to get eventually 'lyrical mirrored' so to say."

The forthcoming album will feature a guest spot by Equilibrium vocalist Robse on the track "Obey The King," and according to a press release "Age Of Pandora" will be "bombastic, epic, and very technical." More...

Laika Reveals New Album Details

Winnipe's melodic death metal band Laika is proud to reveal to fans the artwork and track listing for new full length album "Somnia," which is due out September 30th, 2014 via Filth Regime Records.

Vocalist Jordan Dorge comments: "Here we are around the corner of Laika's five year anniversary! What better way to celebrate than to deliver you an album we have been working on for the past 2 years. For this album we went above and beyond to bring the listener the best Laika we could. Enjoy Somnia."

Founded in 2009 as a six-piece and named after the Soviet dog who became one of the first animals to travel to space, the band unleashed a self-released album in 2010, then hit the road, sharing the stage with the likes of All Shall Perish, Kataklysm, Necronomicon and Unleash the Archers, before temporarily backing away from the spotlight.

Driven by a thirst for evolution, Laika spent two years constructing and writing upcoming full-length "Somnia," filling it with melodic hooks, ominous keys, and lyrics that are bound to get stuck in listeners’ heads to an almost maddening degree. The track listing is as follows:

1. Restless Mind (1:31)
2. Escalation of Terror (4:26)
3. Somnia (5:26)
4. Fidelity (3:48)
5. Caligae A Galea (5:29)
6. Dream of Nothing (5:35)
7. The Immortal (3:52)
8. Predictions (Tide Bearer) (5:48)
9. Invaders (4:13) More...
