Iron Savior Announces New Release "Reforged"

Hamburg based power metal band Iron Savior was facing a problem: what to do when your early albums are not available regularly anymore but a re-issue is not possible due to legal reasons? Well, the decision was made to use this situation to give the material a sonic upgrade.

"We can’t re-release our albums from the Noise Records years in their initial form," band boss Piet Sielck says, "but we are free to re-record songs from these albums. We’ve approached this challenge with a lot of enthusiasm."

What Sielck refers to, became a 19 track strong double album now, titled "Reforged - Riding On Fire," which consists of the best and most popular songs Iron Savior has released so far. These 2017 re-recordings come with a much more powerful sound of course, but the band managed the task to keep the songs’ character and feel. The album will be issued via AFM Records on December 8th as a 2CD digipak and double vinyl.

Demand is steadily rising: especially after the band’s latest album "Titancraft" (2016), which became the biggest chart success in their history, new fans wanted to discover Iron Savior’s catalogue. They’ll now get the best 19 tracks with an upgraded sound – of course mixed by Piet Sielck.

"Reforged - Riding On Fire" is a highly enjoyable treat for old and new fans alike. The track list is as follows: More...

Nullingroots Streams New Song

Recently signed Prosthetic Records post-black metal group Nullingroots is gearing up to release the upcoming five track album "Into The Grey" on November 17th. Do not let the number of tracks fool you - "Into The Grey" is a massive display of spacious sound and introspective discovery. "Into The Grey" will be available online in "grey on grey" splatter vinyl and digipack CD formats. Pre-orders for the album are available here.

Today the band have revealed the new track "The Morning That Killed The World" over at Ghost Cult at this location, or right here in the player at the bottom.

Guitarist Alex Haddad says, "'The Morning that Killed the World' is about time and the effects it has on the human psyche. The song explores the loss of will that occurs with growing older and is narrated by melancholic, somber instrumentals."

Originally the project of sole member, Cameron Boesch, Nullingroots was formed in 2014 in Southern California. A debut, self-titled album was released shortly thereafter, which extracted Boesch's post-black metal style from his previous band, Solus, and incorporated lush, gazing atmospheric elements.

Cameron Boesch released two more Nullingroots full-lengths before assembling his band, comprised of Deacon Blue Batchelor, from the folk band Andrew Jackson Jihad on drums, and guitarist Alex Haddad. Shortly after, the three began writing "Into The Grey." Self-produced, mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley at the Atomic Garden Recording Studio, "Into the Grey" is an expansion of Boesch's vision.

The track listing is:

1. Subsistence
2. The Morning That Killed The World
3. Rust
4. Aqua
5. Into The Grey More...

Satyricon Releases New Music Video

Norway's Satyricon released the new video clip for "To Your Brethren In The Dark" courtesy of Metal Injection at this location, or even easier - just down in the player below. The song is taken from the band's latest album "Deep calleth upon Deep," which was released on September 22nd via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the new video, frontman and band visionary, Satyr tells us, "I wanted 'To your brethren in the dark' to be a director's interpretation of the song, rather than a band performance type of thing. Seeing what we do through the eyes of another artist is always interesting to me and just like the song, the video has become a little bit of a journey on it's own. 'To your brethren in the dark' is definitely one of the flagship songs on the record. It is about emotion, our nature, the spirits, the autumn, the sombre and rainy days, those who we lost and the ones who we have not met yet. You could say it is a tribute to the sorrow in man and to the drama of the nature we surround ourselves with. A song for the dark towers of the past and those who will rise in the future. Pass the torch to your brethren in the dark."

Dropzone Releases Debut Album Details

Osmose Productions announced that on December 29th the label will release the debut album "Rape Killing Murder" from Finland's Dropzone.

The name Dropzone came from some American action movie full of clichés. Well, screw the film, but the name felt good for a band. The songs on "Rape Killing Murder" were recorded straight live on tape back in 1996 at MD-Studio, with exception to the lead guitars and vocal overdubs. It’s straight, no-frills metal-influenced hardcore punk rock in the vein of Discharge, Extreme Noise Terror, The Exploited, Varukers, G.B.H., Riistetyt, and Anti Cimex as well as other punk-influenced musically violent acts such as Slayer, Entombed, Carnage, and Wolfpack.

This recording would probably have never seen the light of day officially if it hadn’t been for Pale, who in other matters provided Herve at Osmose Productions a link to Dropzone’s Soundcloud page, urging his old label boss with Divine Decay to check it out. In just a matter of days – if not hours – Pale got some truly ecstatic messages from France: let’s release "Rape Killing Murder" on physical vinyl and CD!

There have been talks about doing new songs and also gigging with the official release of "Rape Killing Murder" happening, but so far, nothing has been put into fruition just yet. Only that it won’t take another 21 years from now to see that eventually happening. This is just the calm before the storm…

The track list and artwork are:

1. Persecuted in Existence
2. Enslaved Forever
3. The Bloodbath of Innocence
4. The Blood Runs in Streams
5. Testify The Misery
6. Manhunt
7. War’s no Fairytale
8. Grande Finale More...

Eternal Silence Releases "Mastermind Tyranny"

Today, October 19th, Italian symphonic metal act Eternal Silence dropped the new release "Mastermind Tyranny." The album is the band's third full length album and first for Sliptrick Records. Check out a taste of the album with the lyric video for "Foreign Land" in the player below.

Compared with the previous albums, the sound of "Mastermind Tyranny" is more evolved and refined: the rhythmic section is stronger and heavier, combined with a more accurate use of orchestrations to create a bombastic background on which male and female vocals can design their stunning melodies. All this has helped Eternal Silence to craft a more mature and far reaching style of songwriting.

The theme behind "Mastermind Tyranny" is about the subjugation of minds, the control of masses through the spreading of false ideas or beliefs. Complementing this, many lyrics tell of the importance of thinking with your own mind and being stronger against this kind of mental control. The themes are developed through the idea of the fear in God in the songs "Lucifer’s Lair" and "Mystic Vision," the control of knowledge and education in the middle age and a reference to the book “The Name of the Rose” in the song "Ashes Of Knowledge," the radicalization and the religious extremism in Foreign Land.

The artwork, which was edited by the artist Hans Trasid from Dis-Art Design, represents the allegoric divinity of Fama. In the roman mythology, the character represents the image of false news travelling fast.

The track listing for the album is:

1. Lucifer’s Lair
2. Fighter
3. Mashed
4. Adagio
5. Game Of The Beasts
6. Mystic Vision
7. The First Winter Night
8. Foreign Land
9. Icy Spell
10. Ashes Of Knowledge More...

Sharptooth Premieres New Song "No Sanctuary"

“No Sanctuary” is the latest track to arrive from Sharptooth‘s new album, “Clever Girl“, out October 27th on Pure Noise. Says vocalist Lauren Kashan of the song:

"This song is about us as LGBTQIA people telling the rest of society how you can and cannot talk to us, and the insidious ways that language shapes the way people interact with and treat each other. The lyric “every time that you say “f*ggot” is a bullet through my head” directly illustrates how hateful slurs and rhetoric lend credence to homophobic views, and negatively impacts the way the world treats people like me."
