Legion Of Andromeda Announces Album Release
At War With False Noise and Unholy Anarchy announce February 20th, 2015 as the international release date for Legion of Andromeda's debut album, "Iron Scorn." The labels issued this statement:
"Conceived, constructed, and assembled in 2012 by the demented minds of -M- (axe/machinery: Japanese) and -R- (vokills: Italian) and lurking within the inhuman megalopolis of Tokyo, Legion of Andromeda is blessed by the will of total war.
"Sculpted in reiteration, repetition, and cyclical rotation, Legion of Andromeda’s impenetrable cacophony outbursts the breath of cosmic frost: raw, minimal, brutal; primitive, obtuse, barbaric. Albeit genuinely inspired by such diverse acts as Big Black, Suicide, Godflesh, Ildjarn, Swans, Khanate, VON, and Pan Sonic, among others, the band have crafted a totally original and unique sound.
?"The duo’s first offering, released in November 2013 and quickly sold out within a few months, was a four-track/32-minute self-titled demo comprising total aural disintegration, and was recorded, mixed, and mastered in August 2013 by Shigenori Kobayashi (Coffins/Sete Star Sept) at Noise Room Studio in Tokyo for maximum audial displeasure. While being favorably reviewed on several underground webzines such The Obelisk, The Sleeping Shaman, Black Metal And Brews, and personally handpicked by none other than Kim Kelly who featured it on her own Necrolust Zine and in Decibel magazine, the demo was distributed by Obliteration Records in Japan, At War With False Noise in the EU, and Aquarius Records in the US.

Conquer Offering Free Song Download
Unleashing the self-produced debut EP "A Worms Demise" on December 2nd, Canadian blackened death metal band Conquer is offering fans a second free download off the release. Pick up a copy of "Hell's First Born" at this location.
Vocalist Devlin Anderson comments: "'Hell's First Born' is one of my favorite songs to play. It represents the constant duality between good and evil. It's from the point of view of Archdemon who is born from darkness and sees the ideals of Heaven as unjust and feels as though the fallen angels have been given a raw deal. Musically it will appeal to fans of bands like Morbid Angel, Angelcorpse and Black Witchery."
The EP's track listing is as follows:
1. A Worms Demise (5:23)
2. Hell's First Born (4:59)
3. God Is The Destroyer (5:43) More...

"We apologize to all that wished to see us there but we want to be firing on 666 cylinders when we play and do not wish to give our fans a lackluster performance with the new lineup. We hope you all understand." More...
