Peaceville Starts New Podcast

In a new Peaceville podcast series, former Peaceville Records employee, Dave Pybus - responsible for the layout and design of many classic titles (and perhaps more widely known for his time with Anathema and Cradle of Filth) - discusses his days at the company at the start of the 1990s, and talks with some of the bands and artists from back then, reflecting on the ways of the industry and the changes since.

In this first episode of his "Peaceville Days" podcast, Pybus talks with Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride about the early visions of the band, plus techniques of constructing artwork in the early 90s, along with some of the tribulations involved in the pre-Photoshop era.

Also joining the trip down memory lane is a conversation with artist Dave McKean, himself responsible for some of the early iconic My Dying Bride artwork. More...

Krueger Welcomes Back Former Bassist

Brazilian death metal outfit Krueger (not to be confused with the Swiss band Kruger) is welcoming back former bassist Ze Carlos after being gone for eight years. The following press release was also issued about the situation:

"Ze Carlos, with his crazy style of playing & rotating the head in a constant headbanging manner, and his Rickenbacker bass will be filling out the once again strong and brutal lineup along side vocalist and lead guitarist Adriano Krueger, Thomas Abrantes on 2nd lead guitar & William Arantes on drums.

"With this new lineup the band will now turn their focus to the writing of a new album, tentatively titled 'The End.' Some themes for songs from the upcoming album include Kali the goddess of death, her cults and sacrifices in her temples, rotting & cremation, the current human insanity in delusion by the ephemeral and impermanent, amongst others. A release date is not known at this time." More...

Total Negation Releasing Third Album

One-man blackened doom metal assault, Total Negation, will unleash third full-length, "Zeitzeuge," on June 16th via Sweden-based Temple Of Torturous Records.

The follow-up to the 2013-issued" Zur Späten Stunde" maintains the cold, eerie elements of its predecessor. The integration of instruments like the melodica and the vibraphone still intact, on "Zeitzeuge" master craftsman Wiedergaenger allows for more breathing room and breadth in his compositions. Still cold, depressive and atmospherically corrosive, Wiedergaenger manages to merge primal black metal, doom, and Krautrock elements into a sound that's at once lush, confounding, and apocalyptic. The new album's track listing is:

1. Betrachter
2. Fluechtling
3. Augenzeuge
4. Kronzeuge
5. Heimkehrer
6. Zeitzeuge More...
