Arizona Doomers Mosara To Release Third Album

Phoenix, Arizona depressive doom band Mosara, announces a collaboration with Remorseless Records to release their latest album, “Rumour of a Funeral” on July 11th. The latest offering from the atavistic doom veterans combines hammering and groove laden rhythms with wretched and bleak layers of sound.

As cliché as the following descriptor may read, a lot of “blood, sweat and tears” went into composing the 4-track album. The emotion that secretes from the sonically remorseless and lengthy psalms is palpable. Speaking on the album, Tony said, “This is the album that we dug deep on. Two years of my own personal turmoil, the band banging our heads against the wall and against each other, clawing, writing, and writing until we dug deep into the depths of our talent and still dug deeper. I consider this our proudest moment and can’t wait for everyone to listen to it.”

“Rumour of a Funeral” will be released on CD and cassette formats via Remorseless Records and digital formats via the band’s Bandcamp and other popular music streaming platforms. More...

Acknowledging the amusing coincidence of swapping one Spencer for another, Archspire playfully referred to him as “Spencer 2” in their announcement post. The post also includes a video of Moore tearing through a brand new track from the band. Archspire initially entered the studio this past March to begin work on their next album and are set to return next month to complete the recording process.

Five Bands I’m Excited To See At Mystic Festival

Mystic Festival is just around the corner and I’m getting hyped. This will be my fourth year in a row attending this underrated and severely overlooked metal festival that takes place in the northern port city of Gdansk, Poland. If you’re not familiar with this festival, do a quick Google search and read for yourself why this festival needs to be mentioned alongside the summer heavyweights like Brutal Assault, Wacken, Hellfest and Download. Mystic festival may not have the eye popping number of attendees and sheer amount of bands as those aforementioned festivals, but in just about every other comparison, Mystic Festival either holds its ground or just dominates those festivals.

Are you curious now? Did I get your attention?

To say I’m excited to start my journey to Gdansk is an understatement. Now it’s time to name my top 5 bands I’m most looking forward to seeing at this year’s festival (in no particular order…). More...
