Memoriam Posts New Lyric Video Online
Old school metal veterans Memoriam released their new album "Requiem For Mankind" recently, which hit #20 in the German charts and #7 in the UK Rock Charts. A death metal victory! To celebrate the release of the album and chart success, the band has premiered an official lyric video for the title track "Requiem For Mankind." Check it out below.
The band states:
"Lyrically it ties in with the burial as depicted on the artwork of the album itself. It could also be interpreted as a lament for the state of the world we are living in, we have left enough room in the lyrical content to draw your own conclusion! Musically it's another headbanger ( we seem to have a lot of those on this album) with a nice heavy deep end rumble. It needed to be the title track! It has that old school feel, it's organic, it's out now and all you need to do is listen, absorb, and bang your head! Enjoy." More...
Evil Invaders To Release Live Album
Evil Invaders may sound notoriously tech-loving yet astoundingly raw on record – but if you unleash these Belgians onstage, their trademark sound nestled in between death, thrash, progressive touches and trad heavy metal gains another heady and exciting dimension that is second to none. After two studio albums and two EPs released to date, the time has finally come to immortalize the incredible high-octane live phenomenon in sound and vision: "Surge of Insanity - Live in Antwerp 2018" is the expected balls-out hometown insanity, taped at the Trix Zaal in 2018, and set for release on October 4th 2019 with powerhouse label Napalm Records!
"On October 4th we will finally release our live album + DVD, 'Surge Of Insanity: Live in Antwerp 2018'! From day one, our goal has always been to distinguish ourselves musically as well as visually in our live performances." frontman Joe comments.
"We're always striving to create new and unique visual aspects to our show. It was massive to play with a full production at the venue where we all used to go to see our favorite bands since we were teenagers. This live album + DVD marks the end of an old and the beginning of a new era for Evil Invaders. We're just getting started..."
In addition we're releasing another slice of what's coming; one of our favorite tracks ’Broken Dreams In Isolation‘ with a live video, taken from the DVD. More...
Acid Reign Reveals New Album Details
Acid Reign will release their fourth album "The Age Of Entitlement" on September 27, 2019 via Dissonance Productions. With Worldwide distribution being handled by Plastic Head. The album artwork is from renowned artist Mark Wilkinson. Mark is famed for his work for and amongst others the mighty Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Marillion and Acid Reign.
"I was introduced to Mark by Al Barnes (Ex Venom) last year in Bloodstock VIP and jokingly said if he ever fancied doing our cover art I‘d let him. Fast forward months later and amazingly he agreed to do it! We are thrilled to have such legendary figure involved with our album. For me, as a huge old school Marillion fan it‘s the icing on the cake."
As for the album H had this to say "We started recording on August 1st last year with Jayce Lewis and he has been amazing. He was badgering me to do this for months, we had two other bigger names telling us they would love to do it but Jayce showed us when recording 'The Man Who Became Himself' that he would go above and beyond to get the best out of what was a very difficult session. So just think what we could achieve when we are in a much better place. The results are stunning. You have an old school thrash album with a contemporary twist and a production that honours that.
