Nile And Melechesh Unearth Darkness In Bristol

The Bierkeller in Bristol has hosted some of the most respected names in rock, metal, hardcore and punk over the years. It's an ideal venue to welcome these bands too, as it can hold around seven hundred people, with plenty of space, yet feel like an intimate concert, not least because it's not uncommon to see members of the groups walking around, drinking and taking photos with the crowd. All this made it pretty much perfect for the night's show, as American death metal veterans Nile brought their What Should Not Be Unearthed tour to Britain's seventh largest city, and with them, Jerusalemite black metallers Melechesh and Italian death metal act, Embryo.

It was Embryo who kicked off the evening's festivities, taking to the stage with only a small audience to perform to. Right from the start, they let the crowd know just what they had before them: Five hungry young men whose appetite for death metal was insatiable. There's a lot to enjoy about this band, whose brutality is married to a groove many attempt, but few can capture. As the number of people in the venue grew, so too did the appreciation for the band, who maintained a professional demeanour, despite their clear joy to be a part of such a tour. While they may not be a household name (in households who listen to extreme music anyway,) Embryo could yet become one of Italy's most beloved metal bands if they continue their quality songwriting and live intensity.

Sinnery Announces "A Feast Of Fools"

Pitch Black Records is pleased to welcome Israel’s explosive thrash metal band Sinnery into its artist roster. The label comments:

"Sinnery is one of those prime examples of 'education' (in metal) done right! A group of friends (now in their early 20s), all youngsters when they first formed the band in 2012 wanting to play old school thrash metal. 'A Feast of Fools' is the band’s debut album; a fierce thrash metal album that is hard to define, yet very easy to process! It’s aggressive and relentless and although having a top-notch production, the band still manages through its sound to pay tribute to the glorious old days of thrash metal."

A fiery passion is evident on these songs, and as the band puts it: “the album steers clear from the modern approach of playing every trick in the book just to appear sophisticated.”

Featuring superb artwork by Costin Chioreanu (Arch Enemy, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Opeth among others), “A Feast of Fools” is scheduled for release May 6th on CD and digital. Pre-orders are up at this location. More...
