Necronomicon Comments On Backlash Over Wrong Album
Canadian death metal group Necronomicon has been busy working on an upcoming album to follow 2013's "Rise Of The Elder Ones" (reviewed here), but apparently some fans couldn't handle the wait and decided to pick up any album by a band of the same name and assume it was the right one.
After receiving angry messages about the direction of the "new" album (which presumably was actually "Pathfinder... Between Heaven and Hell" from German thrash outfit Necronomicon), the Montreal band issued this statement:
"This is an official statement to clarify something. First thanks to everyone waiting for the new album, we do think that you'll be rewarded with the dark art with the new one.
"Secondly: NO the new album that have been released is not OURS, before writing messages saying 'you betrayed your fans what the FUCK is that SHIT' or 'the worst of your albums, how could you do that?' and etc. etc. do your research and don't forget that we are not the only band called Necronomicon.
"Our new album is ready, like we said before, but we are not the one deciding when it will be on the market and that's the job of our record label Season of Mist.
"The new album will be released in 2016, and that is something we can say for sure. But the date cant be announced yet for professional reasons. If it doesn't sound dark, its not us." More...
Vital Signs Posts "Forgive And Regret" Video
Post hardcore outfit Vital Signs has released a new music video for the single "Forgive and Regret." This new single is the first from the band's upcoming EP "Vengeance," which is set to release in the spring of 2016.
The music video, shot and directed by Adam Serrano, will give you a good preview of what is to come from Vital Signs in 2016. Alex Bolton of Vitaln Signs comments:
"'Forgive and Regret' is a song I've been working on for years and the song concept really touches home for both myself and Runk (vocals) in relation to our recent pasts. This is the first song Vital Signs has released in almost a year and I feel like it is the perfect note to come back on. It is a bit of a foreshadowing of our progressing sound." More...
