Simulacrum Posts "Sky Divided" Video

Simulacrum just released a music video for the title track to the "Sky Divided" album, due out August 28. Check it out below, and the band comments:

"The composition featured in the video is the album's title song. We follow the bunker survival battle of a soldier unit in the dismal post-apocalyptic world of the near future. The song reflects Simulacrum's present sound, which is heavy and progressive but without forgetting excellent melodies.

"The next music video 'Embrace The Animal Within' will be released on the 28th of August and it represents the band's power metal side. Both videos are produced by Dark Noise Productions and directed by Esa Jussila."

Simulacrum can be seen live in the autumn at the following venues:

05.09.2015 - Hevimesta, Oulu (w/ Burning Point)

Sunday Old School: NWOBHM Trilogy

This week in Sunday Old School, we're going to be doing something we've never done before and taking a look at the careers of three different bands. We've established by now that the New Wave of British Heavy Metal had a lot to offer, going back to the early days of the column when we looked at big names in the movement such as Venom and Diamond Head, to more recent editions examining Atomkraft and Tokyo Blade, but there were a number of bands who had very short careers but remain cut favourites amongst the NWOBHM afficianados. Today, we'll be looking at a trio of these treasures, starting with...

Ethel The Frog

One of the strangest names in heavy metal, quite literally, was Ethel the Frog. Their name came from a Monty Python sketch about the Piranha Brothers, themselves a parody of sorts of the infamous Kray Twins. They were formed in 1976 in the Yorkshire city of Hull and steadily built up a strong following in the north, which grew after they gained attention for their first single, a heavy take on the Beatles' classic, “Elanor Rigby.” Shortly afterwards, they joined prestigious company by contributing to the Metal For Muthas compilation series and signed a record deal with EMI, who had recently picked up Iron Maiden. The band released one self-titled album in 1980 before calling it a day soon after. More...
