Heavy Temple Announces US Tour Dates
Pennsylvania's psychedelic doomsters Heavy Temple have announced the first 2021 US tour dates in support of their acclaimed debut album "Lupi Amoris". Please see below for a complete list of shows.
Heavy Temple comment: "We were fortunate enough to be able to put out an album during a time of much uncertainty, especially regarding live shows, so needless to say we're excited to get back in the van", writes frontwoman High Priestess Nighthawk. "Music, especially for us metalheads, is such a huge part of our lives. The last year and a half has been rough, to say the least, without any shows. We've been practicing the songs from 'Lupi Amoris' this whole time, and we're ready for people to hear them the way we always intended, live and in person, even if we all have to take a few extra precautions to keep ourselves and our fans safe when we get there."
"Lupi Amoris" was released on Friday June 18, 2021. The album can be streamed below, where you can also find a recent interview vocalist High Priestess Nighthawk conducted by Metal Underground. More...
Altareth To Release Debut Album In November
Altareth has released the sizzling track "Moon" as the first single taken from their forthcoming debut full-length "Blood," which is slated to hit stores on November 5. The Swedish doomsters are also revealing cover art, tracklist, and further details of "Moon" below.
Altareth comments: "Our songs always come together in a collective effort and every member contributes with their parts even though riffs and lyrics are often created individually", explains guitarist Niklas Sörum. "There is a somewhat folksy vibe to 'Moon' that we all very much appreciate. The combination of raw heavy riffs with more fragile moments and a wide space for vocals is part of how we express the spirit of our Nordic influences. Niklas and Sven came up with the riffs of this song. Paddy wrote the lyrics, which are obviously about the moon as a potent symbol. The funny story about this particular song is that Mats heard it before he became our bassist and it made him really want join this band. That's the power of the moon for you."

Terrorizer Signs With Earache Records
Los Angeles grindcore legends, Terrorizer, have signed a brand new, worldwide recording deal with Earache Records, the independent British label which put the band on the map back in the late ’80s.
Having released their debut album "World Downfall" through Earache in 1989 - an album which would go on to be considered one of the greatest and most influential extreme metal albums of all time - Terrorizer soon split up, with its members going on to find success in other notable acts such as Morbid Angel and Napalm Death (whose earlier works were also released through Earache). The band reformed for three more albums throughout the 2000s, with their latest release dropping in 2018.
Now, with fans clamouring for more and a brand new album in the works, Terrorizer have once again teamed up with Earache, bringing the band back to their original home to kick-start a new era of extremity.
Founder and Managing Director of Earache Records Digby Pearson enthuses: "Terrorizer was one of the first wave of bands I worked with and were true pioneers of grind, back when only a handful of musicians even played extreme metal. The band lasted for too short a time because two members quickly joined other bands (Napalm Death and Morbid Angel) who both began to tour the world and never looked back. Working with Terrorizer once again, in 2021… Finally… It’s their time to take centre stage on the grindcore world they helped create." More...
