Tarja Releases "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" Clip

It may be early to ring in the season, but Tarja's new single and video clip for the haunting version of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" is more akin to Halloween than Christmas. Check out the clip in the player below.

The song is taken from the new album "From Spirits and Ghosts (Score for a Dark Christmas)" which will be released on November 17th via earMusic.

The album includes 11 Christmas classics and brings them to a never-before-seen level, uniquely blending Tarja's classically-trained voice with darker gothic influences.

Besides covering classic carols, "From Spirits and Ghosts" also features a twelfth track, the brand new original song "Together." This song is aligned with the dark sound of the album and embodies the theme of ghosts and mysticism throughout, in a brilliant, Tarja-styled manner.

1. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
2. Together
3. We Three Kings
4. Deck The Halls
5. Pie Jesu
6. Amazing Grace

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."

Adds Kashan: More...
