"Prophecies And Lies," the forthcoming full-length album from North Carolina occult metal collective Demon Eye, will see release via Soulseller Records on August 11th in Europe followed by a North American release date of September 8th.

Captured by Corrosion Of Conformity's Mike Dean in the band's hometown of Raleigh, the eleven-track burner finds Demon Eye's fiery fusion of heavy classic rock, proto metal, and traditional doom at its most intense.

Today, the band's latest single "Dying For It" comes online and can be heard below. Issues the band of the track, "'Dying For It' is a hard-charger with a bit of Voivod dissonance meets classic Dio. Lyrically, it represents the loud voices we hear in the world, those who make bold claims, but who ultimately would never put their lives on the line for anyone else."

Demon Eye will a play a record release show in August alongside Captain Beyond, with additional live performances to be announced in the weeks to come.

Mist Of Misery Announces EP Release

After sophomore full-length album "Absence" released back in 2016, Mist Of Misery is returning with new EP "Shackles Of Life," which is the first of the two chapters to be opened and will drop August 31st.

Black Lion Records comments: "The first chapter of dual mini albums, 'Shackles of Life,' features some of the gloomier and utter beautiful crafted work in a long time. it’s simply one of those releases that rarely comes out; if you've enjoyed 'Absence' then this will be a step above. You can expect nothing but greatness of pure melody and melancholy. The mini album offers a fresh new sound, but a good resemblance to the last album 'Absence.' The second chapter — 'Fields of Isolation' — will be followed later of this year or the earlier of the next year.

"This EP also marks the sad departure of Erik Molnar's history in Mist of misery, he took this decision because of being busy with recording and writing for the new Hyperion album. Erik will of course still linger around for this mini release to watch as everyone absorbs it."

The band had this to say: “The themes on both mini albums vary quite a lot from our earlier works, but the original concept of Mist Of Misery is still there. Those who have heard our latest release, 'Absence,' will surely find some similarities to both that album and also to our earlier releases.” More...

Last month the band played a release show for "Enter The Arena" with vocals handled by Philip H. Anselmo, Edwin Neal (Texas Chain Saw Massacre), and Wayne Abney (Hammer Witch) with Corbitt performing a few refrains. More...
