Oskoreien Posts New Video

Los Angeles-based black metal project OSKOREIEN emerges with their long-awaited third full-length release, "Hollow Fangs."
After years as a solo endeavor masterminded by guitarist/vocalist/programmer Jay Valena, OSKOREIEN expands its sonic arsenal with the addition of guitarist Rashid Nadjib for "Hollow Fangs." The result is as unsettling as it is hypnotic. Featuring dissonant riffing and moments of bleak beauty, Hollow Fangs solidifies OSKOREIEN’s place in the lineage of thought-provoking black metal that challenges both genre and listener.
OSKOREIEN has shared a stream of the album's opening track, "Prismatic Reason." Valena comments on the song:
"'Prismatic Reason' is a meditation on the double-edged sword of human consciousness. How reason can illuminate or distort; create or destroy. The song evokes the anguish of searching for meaning amidst chaos and betrayal, set to an urgent and cathartic musical attack."
The exclusive premiere of "Prismatic Reason" is on No Clean Singing and also below at YouTube. the new album is set for release on July 18th. More...

The Pale Hand Unveils Video

New York City band The Pale Hand has released its debut video from its upcoming album, directed by Orange Echo Films.
Like a love letter to old school heavy metal, The Pale Hand’s debut single, “Reign in Hell,” serves up fuzz-drenched riffs, a high energy groove, and lyrics inspired by Lucifer’s fall from heaven. It’s a sinister, psychedelic, and thunderous descent into madness showcasing the group’s unique take on doom—including a breakdown heavy enough to shake Grandma’s grave.
Lyrically, the song is a lapsed theologian’s wet dream. Christian doctrine asserts that free will is humankind’s unique gift, something not even angels possess. Therefore, the logical conclusion follows that in his so-called rebellion, Lucifer only played the role his creator intended for him, and was doomed to be cast into hell before he was ever made. “Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven,” a freshly exiled Satan proclaims in John Milton’s Paradise Lost while considering this injustice.
Milton famously humanized Satan in his epic work, arguably even placing him as the hero of the story, and The Pale Hand has gladly carried his torch into the 21st century, complete with vicious guitars, powerhouse vocals, and booming bass. In the end, it’s a match made in hell—after all, heaven’s overrated.
With members hailing from around the globe, The Pale Hand is a cross-cultural heavy metal phenomenon taking New York City’s underground by storm, sharing stages with Castle Rat and Alex Skolnick of Testament. To witness The Pale Hand live is to be baptized in the church of the undead; a vampire pastor gives blood offering before the first song is played and expects to be repaid before the night is over. With a wide range of influences beyond metal, including gospel and middle eastern music, their show is theatrical, interactive, even spiritual, and they use their music to explore the question “what really is evil?” In The Pale Hand’s world, the sinner is the saint, and corruption is the true enemy.
