Astaroth Incarnate Reveals Album Release
Astaroth: the Great Duke of Hell, in the first hierarchy with Beelzebub and Lucifer; he is an integral part of the evil trinity.
Astaroth Incarnate: the Great Dukes of Hell - hell, in this case, being Toronto, Ontario. The hierarchy is one that sees five demons summoning forth the gates of hell through brand new album "Omnipotence - The Infinite Darkness" via CDN Records.
Due out September 8th, the album's cover artwork and track listing are available below. The band's front man, also going by the title of Astaroth, had this to say:
"The vision of bestowing the ideologies of Astaroth to our hell spawns through our interpretations and relating them to our world and society of today. Our goal is to create extreme metal which feels limitless in its creative form while staying true to our roots and influences in metal.
"With each member coming from a different musical background, it allows us to craft each song with a different mindset, in an effort to intrigue the listener and entice their mind to dissect the lyrics which are encrusted with multi-layered meanings.
"All of our songs, music and lyrics combined, are built around personal exploration for each spawn to experience in their own way." More...

Motorhead Releasing Covers Album
One thing Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell, and Mikkey Dee liked to do throughout their years together in Motorhead was grab a favorite song by another artist and give it a good old fashioned Motörheading. To run them through the Motörizer, if you will.
In celebration of some of those finest moments, the band will release "Under Cöver," a collection which will include the previously unreleased version of David Bowie’s timeless classic “Heroes." Recorded during the "Bad Magic" sessions in 2015 by Cameron Webb, this was one of the last songs the band members recorded together.
“It’s such a great Bowie song, one of his best, and I could only see great things coming out of it from us, and so it proved to be,” says Phil Campbell, “and Lemmy ended up loving our version.”
“He was very, very proud of it,” says Mikkey Dee, “not only because it turned out so well but because it was fun! Which is what projects like this should be – fun!”

And he did a great job. I love the record. There are nine songs. We've got one song with Justin from Godflesh - just a great Nailbomb, Godflesh, Cavalera kind of song.
"The rest is all pure thrash madness. And we had it mastered a couple of days ago by Joel Grind from Toxic Holocaust; he mastered the album. And it's great, man. It's a beast of an album. I think a lot of people are are gonna be surprised when they hear it. It's, for me, the best of all the CAVALERA albums, my favorite one.
