The mastering was handled by Brad Boatright (High On Fire, Ringworm, Nails) at Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon.

"'Persistent Murmur of Words of Wrath' offers an abrasive and explosive amalgamation of the pummelling anger of old-school hardcore, the filthy, bruising power of noise rock, the vicious groove of sludge and the savage fury of black metal and will appeal to fans of Kvelertak, The Melvins, Unsane and Today Is The Day."

Wizard Rifle Announces New Album

The Los Angeles-by-way-of-Portland stoner, doomed out, mathrock conjurers from Wizard Rifle are very pleased to unveil their brand new full-length in the form of the smoldering five-track "Here In The Deadlights."

Set for release via Seventh Rule Recordings later this month, the follow-up to 2012's "Speak Loud Say Nothing" full-length (reviewed here) was tracked by guitarist Max Dameron over three weeks at Breakfast Studio in Los Angeles, then toiled over for a year, with Billy Anderson (Sleep, Eyehategod, Melvins et al) and Jesse Johnstone sharing mixing duties.

The band's previous album saw Wizard Rifle earn a nomination for best newcomer of 2012 during our annual year-end awards.

The new album "Here In The Deadlights" sees Wizard Rifle for the first time as a trio featuring Dameron alongside, drummer Sam Ford, and bassist David Boe pushing the band's sound into far sludgier realms and reaching new levels of monolithic heaviness. The track listing is as follows:

1. Crystal Witch
2. Buzzsaw Babes
3. Paul The Sky Tyrant

5. Beastwhores

Night Demon Signs With Century Media

Night Demon from Ventura County (just north of Los Angeles) recently signed with Century Media for the world outside of Europe for an early 2015 release.

The three-piece heavy metal act is currently on tour with NWOBHM band Raven with a long string of dates that go into the holiday season. Night Demon had this to say about the signing and tour run:

"We are very excited to be joining the Century Media family. For years we have seen the CM logo synonymous with great bands and a stellar product. The future looks bright for Night Demon, especially now that we have a solid partnership with such a legendary label.

"Touring on our home turf with one of the forefathers of the NWOBHM movement is the highest honor for us! Raven and Night Demon together is the right package for any true heavy metal fan."

Check out some of the band's previous music in a playlist over here. Century Media A&R rep Daniel Dismal had this to say about the band:

"It was a chilly night in Downtown Los Angeles... the date was January 28th 2013, the venue was the Down N Out and the Metal was about ready to kick out the windows of this unsuspecting dive! At the time, Night Demon was just a name to me, something that sounded cool but I really didn't know what to expect. From the first 4 clicks of the sticks into the opening riffs I thought to myself, 'Woah, what's this!? I was not expecting this!?' and from then on, I was hooked.

"Fast forward less than a year later and we see that the self-titled EP has gained an almost cult status, the band has made appearances on various European fests while completing a successful string of headlining dates throughout Europe only to come back home in order to trek across North America numerous times. Within less than 10 months, Night Demon went from playing a little dive bar to becoming a rising star that spits out high-octane, NWOBHM influenced neck wreckers while exuding an atmosphere of 'Yeah, we're here to get down' during their live performances that are constantly winning over audiences and peers from various different 'scenes' and genres. Now, I am proud to announce that Night Dmeon is one of my first signings to Century Media Records and not only am I excited for the future, I am stoked to say, Watch out world, the Night Demon has arrived!!!!"

Unioni Festival at The Circus, Helsinki

Unioni Festival was a new occurrence this year, and this mini festival quickly became the most anticipated even of the autumn calendar in Helsinki. People came from all over Europe, and even as far as Los Angeles to catch the amazing lineup these two days boasted. Livenation has really outdone themselves this time around, and with both nights of the long anticipated Unioni festival sold out, they’d do well to be patting themselves on the back! More...
