Seremonia Announces Third Album

Finnish heavy psych rockers Seremonia dive deeper than ever into the dark psychedelic abyss with third album "Kristalliarkki," set for international release on May 8th via Svart Records. The label comments:

"With lyrics (still all in their native tongue) revolving around the spiritual cult practices and teachings of a mysterious doomsday cult, 'Kristalliarkki' (English: 'The Crystal Ark') also explores the cultist mindset musically.

"The heavy riffing, the psychedelic solos, the out-of-control drum fills, the blood-chilling vocal delivery, and the collective free rock freak-outs all go way beyond just playing good ol' heavy rock: Seremonia is a band on a sacred mission, possessed by the black flame of rock 'n' roll. 'Kristalliarkki' bears their trademark garage doom sound and catchy riffage, and adds an abundance of acid rock experimentalism, proto-punk anger, sacred music bliss, and even some cosmic jazz flavors in the 15-minute title track of the album.

"It's a hard-rocking hard rock record, but a wonderfully weird one - even by Seremonia's weirdo standards." More...

Tony Foresta Releases "Liquid Arson" Hot Sauce

Tony Foresta, lead singer of Municipal Waste and Iron Reagan, has released a brand of signature hot sauce called "Liquid Arson."

A collaboration with the Tears Of Joy hot sauce brand, Tony's sauce is a mosh pit in your mouth with a 9 out of 10 heat rating and is available for purchase at this location. Tony comments:

"This is a collaberation with me and Brian from The mighty 'Tears Of Joy' hot sauce in Austin Texas. I've been wanting to work with him for years as I've always been a big fan of his store and the sauces he makes, The Sword's 'Tears of Fire,' His Tequila Lime Sauce, Red Fang's 'Night Destroyer' to name a few. Liquid Arson is an Italian flavored sauce that packs a punch but still has a lot of flavor. Good with almost anything to me personally I think it goes best with meatball subs, pizza or chicken parm. It's kind of like a nuclear marinara sauce." More...

Krysantemia Releases "Finis Dierum" Video

Italian death/thrash metal act, Krysantemia, has teamed up with Decibel Magazine to launch the band's latest music video for "Finis Dierum," the title track off the band's third studio album. Check it out below.

"The video 'Finis Dierum' came to life in an old shed, whose iron structure withstood the earthquake of 2012 in Emilia (Italy)," the band told Decibel. "The concept was to create a final transmission to the world, telling what has led to the destruction of the world itself. The desolation of the environment is a key element for both the video and for the chance to have a lot of plan sequence recreating the dynamic aspect of the piece. Down the hall are projected images that represent some recent events or not, that give the idea of what can be a cataclsym, a war, and end. The whole video was shot at night, but suddenly the structure alarm sounded by mistake. As a result we were kicked out of the building by the security crew, as they thought we were thieves!" More...

Northumbria Posts New Music Video

Toronto-based ambient/drone group Northumbria has teamed up with Heathen Harvest Periodical to premiere the “Ostara” video (also available below).

The track is taken from the band's second full-length album “Bring Down The Sky,” issued last year by ConSouling Sounds (thisquietarmy, Amenra, Nadja). The video was created by Dominic F. Marceau, who has worked with artists like Theologian, thisquietarmy, and Sewer Goddess in the past.About this new video, Northumbria’s Dorian Williamson offered the following words:

“The song is very much a celebration—albeit it in our own very personal way—of the Goddess Ostara. When we were creating it, we really felt like the sound, and the energy behind it, literally took on a life of its own. We’re always striving for that in all of our songs: to create a trance-like state where the power of the sound takes over in a way you could never really consciously write in the traditional sense. Jim Field and I are really into the primal nature of this kind of music. Even though it may not necessarily sound like it, it’s very ritualistic in its purest form. When it works, it connects that specific moment to something much more powerful and ancient. We just channel that connection and give it a bit of direction.

"Even though the video itself is abstract, the spirit of the meaning of Ostara is somehow still successfully created. We’re talking about the life-giving creative force in the universe made flesh, symbolically and spiritually, but of course in a very non-objective way. Like the music, the video leaves a lot to interpretation.”

1. Transcendence
2. The Ocean Calls us Home
3. Ostara
4. The Silver Forest
5. Bring Down the Sky More...

Nile Recording Guitars For Next Album

Technical death metallers Nile have commenced recording guitars for their upcoming album set to drop this summer.

States Nile drummer George Kollias about the progress of the songwriting and recording sessions: "We'll release the album around June. And we have a European tour with Suffocation in September/October, and we're talking about a U.S. tour, maybe, starting in mid-November."

Asked if the band has already a title for the new Nile CD, Kollias explains: "We're not sure yet, so I can't really tell. But if the one we have right now. I mean, we have a title, but, seriously, it's not the final one. But if that's the final one - I mean, if this is gonna be the title - it's one of our songs which is the most difficult song I've ever played in my life. Like, seriously, it's so hard to play. We were working on this song for 3 days. This has never happened with Nile - working on one song for 3 days. It's never happened. It's a song that, if you're a drummer, and you wanna play it, or a guitar player as well, you're gonna have troubles. It's not that long. I think it's around 6 minutes or something. But it's crazy. Totally crazy." More...
