Enslaved Shares "Bounded By Allegiance" Live Video
Left-field metal luminaries Enslaved are proud to reveal their single and video for "Bounded by Allegiance - Live." The track, which originally comes from their ground-breaking album "Isa" (2004), sees a live recording detailing a new avant-garde interpretation of the song, with nuanced accompaniment by fellow psychedelic Norwegian prog band Shaman Elephant. This extraordinary performance took place on last year's Winter Solstice, via the stunning streaming event "The Otherworldly Big Band Experience."
Frontman Grutle Kjellson stated:
"So here’s a little memory from last year’s musical endeavor. Our 'Big Band' collaboration with Shaman Elephant was such a trip! It felt like, and indeed it was, an avalanche of locked up energy just bursting out. The streamed concert plus a small tour in Norway was pretty much the only shows we did in 2021, so the energy level was pretty much turned to 11, on all of us. All nine of us!
"'Bounded By Allegiance' was one of the first songs we thought would fit being dressed for a nine man outfit, with its natural percussive nature. We hope we were right, enjoy!" More...
Horizon Ignited To Release New Album In July
Newly signed melodic death metal band Horizon Ignited are proud to announce the upcoming release of their new long-player "Towards The Dying Lands." Their first album published under Nuclear Blast will be released on July 1st 2022. Following on from the recent release of massive title track "Towards The Dying Lands," the Finnish sextet have now revealed the next banger from their highly anticipated record.
The Finns deliver their brand new single "Reveries" alongside a new stunning music video, to celebrate the next big milestone in their career. The highly lauded newcomers of melodic death metal convince once again with fiery riffs, giving a preview of what is yet to come. "Towards The Dying Lands" is available for pre-order now!
Horizon Ignited comments:
"Reveries is a song about losing all your hope and drowning in despair that you can not escape from. What is it like to lose the grip of yourself and your humanity? How deep are the wounds that grief and loss cut? These core lyrical themes are surrounded by an atypical song for Horizon Ignited. Intro and choruses are massive and melodic giving the listener a spark of hope which is then killed by the heavy verses. The fight between these two main themes of the song creates a fascinating contrast for the lyrics.
"The music video for the song was filmed during the band's pre production session for 'Towards The Dying Lands' album at Lammaskallion Audio in Tuusula, Finland. The video is a very raw set of the band performing the song, combined with aerial footage from the same day, which turned out to be probably the most beautiful day in autumn 2019. The video was edited by keyboardist Miska Ek and guitarist Johannes Mäkinen.
"Aggressive, melancholic and melodic - Reveries." More...

Fortis Ventus Posts New Lyric Video Online
Rockshots Records will be releasing Fortis Ventus' debut album "Vertalia" on June 3, 2022. Combining symphonic and cinematic elements along with soundtrack influences, today the Greek trio unveils their first single off the forthcoming record. Entitled "My Death Is My Devotion", the song captures the pain and faith behind the sacrifices for the ones we care about from the emotions driven by love and loyalty.
"An epic orchestral intro brings us to stormy seas only for the rhythmic triplets to ground us as the catchy melody gets stuck in your head. The vocals sing long notes while the band and orchestra keep a groovy rhythm going. Then it quiets down to a somber voice that is filled with emotion only for it to return even stronger than before." adds the band. More...
