GALVANO: Download free track 'Bleeding Lamb' from their "Two Titans" LP tomorrow!!!

"Two Titans" sees GALVANO deliver sludgy powerful riffs and intense drumming combined with slowed down dark passages. They enable you to go through a full spectrum of emotions then back again. Describing the album, Mattius (singer/guitarist) comments that:

‘All these songs are personal, all the way throughout the record. They are about personal matters and demons. It's about finding the darkest corners, the dark lord within and to show up for battle. Portrayed as two titans in constant battle: Good/Evil, Darkness/Light and so on. And sometimes wanting to embrace either side. It's about knowing when your mind is pulling tricks and being able to stop it. It's also celebrating our musical force as a duo.’

Devouter Records are releasing the track 'Bleeding Lamb' from the duo as a free download as of tomorrow morning. The track is taken from their debut album 'Two Titans'.

In addition to the free download Devouter are also offering 20% off the LP from our store when using the code 'GALVANO20': http://devouterrecords.bigcartel.com/

Here's the link to the free song download:

CHURCH OF MISERY: The Japanese come and say "Thy Kingdom Scum"


CHURCH OF MISERY
Thy Kingdom Scum
Rise Above Records
VÖ/Release: 27 May 2013

Since the late 60’s, many rock bands from the Far East have received underground recognition in Western Countries. For example early 70s cult bands such as Flower Travellin’ Band, Blues Creation, Speed Glue & Shinki are well known to rock listeners all over the world. Heavy metal bands such as Loudness, BowWow (also known as VowWow) achieved moderate success in UK/Europe and USA. Japanese hardcore punk bands such as Gism, Lip Cream, Outo and S.O.B. have been very influential to bands such as Napalm Death. Then there’s the Boredoms and Melt Banana…..

However, when it comes to the words like RIFFS, DOOM, HEAVINESS, INTENSITY, and DENSITY, Tokyo based Church Of Misery is undoubtedly the most KILLER band from Japan. And their brand new opus Thy Kingdom Scum proves this fact once again. Church Of Misery have been awed and respected by many colleagues in the doom/extreme metal scene such as Cathedral, Eyehategod, High On Fire, Orange Goblin etc for their long term strenuous efforts.

"Thy Kingdom Scum is COM’s 4th full length record and 
their most brutal & heavy!"

BLOOD CEREMONY: New album "The Eldritch Dark" is coming in May




BLOOD CEREMONY
The Eldritch Dark
Rise Above / Soulfood
VÖ/Release: 31.05.2013

Yes, the unholy flute in the history of Rock is back again!!!

BLOOD CEREMONY sind zwar für 'ne Menge Leute der neueste hot shit, aber viel mehr als das eine Band mit immenser Langzeitwirkung: etwas verschroben und kauzig, aber schlicht und ergreifend atemberaubend toll.  Die KanadierInnen haben etwas gänzlich Eigenes. Man mag sie ein bisschen schrullig finden, doch sie sind authentisch, mitreißend, unter die Haut gehend und durch und durch ECHT. Produziert und abgemischt von Ian Blurton (Cauldron, Cursed) und gemastered von dem großartigen Nick Blagona (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Crazy World Of Arthur Brown), zeigt "The Eldritch Dark" BLOOD CEREMONY in den düstersten Winkeln klassischer Rock-Folklore.

Bilocation Records proudly presents you the new TONER LOW album "III"


TONER LOW
III
Bilocation Records/Roadkill Rekordz
double vinyl/cd/audio cassette
VÖ/Release date: April 2013

After four years Dutch psychedelic doom stoners TONER LOW are back with the follow-up of their highly acclaimed second effort. Being the lowest frequency producers of the Netherlands TONER LOW astonished listeners with their first two albums and undoubtedly will do the same with III, as their third album is titled. However, this time the band presents a more diverse sound than ever before in their fifteen years existence.

On III TONER LOW are both faster and slower as well as rawer and more subtle, whilst making sure that the deepest sub-low frequencies are omnipresent throughout the entire album. A wide range of psychedelic sounds completes this four songs in 55 minutes ride through a musical wasteland filled with drugged out themes and doped up riffing. With one difference: this time even the cover artwork might get you high!

AGE OF TAURUS: The new perl of Classic Doom now on Rise Above Records


AGE OF TAURUS
Desperate Souls Of Tortured Times
Rise Above / Soulfood
VÖ/Release: 31.05.2013

Produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Angel Witch, Hexvessel, Ghost), 'Desperate Souls of Tortured Times' is a 42 minute collection of material written during their transition over the past three years. It's an unashamedly heavy voyage down a road less travelled, where each of the seven songs acts as a chapter from an altogether longer tale. Monstrous, mountain-shaking riffs are order of the day in the Empire, stepping aside only for Riddell's searing leads to take hold, whilst the lock-tight Bruce/Claydon rhythm section underpins all. Heading the charge from centre stage, Wright's lyrics act as a vivid narrative, painting pictures of ancient ritual and sprawling landscapes, somewhat reminiscent of Manilla Road and Brocas Helm in their prime. Some might assume that DSOTT is a concept album, however in reality, Age of Taurus is more like a 'concept band', intent on delivering undiluted and intriguing heavy metal to all that will listen.

So come one, come all and let your eyes and mind be open to a long-forgotten era; the AGE OF TAURUS...

IRON TONGUE: Rwake singer Chris "CT" Jerry joins Neurot Recordings with his new project


IRON TONGUE heißt das neueste Signing aus dem Hause Neurot Recordings.

Mit von der Partie ist Chris "CT" Jerry, der als Frontmann mit seiner anderen Band RWAKE in der Sludge-Metal für einiges an Aufsehen gesorgt hat.

NEUROSIS-Kopf Steve Von Till beschreibt das Album als "a solid slab of balls to the wall of shameless rock, with a power and an edge and soul that rarely exists in music today". Eine vielversprechende Beschreibung!

"The Dogs Have Barked, The Birds Have Flown" ist eine mitreissende, dreckige Blues-Rock-Walze, wie sie lange nicht mehr da war. Irgendwo zwischen Deep Purple, Clutch und Down. Tolles Album!

EVOKEN: The dark legends of Funeral Doom Metal from USA - first time in Riga!!!



The American Funeral Doom legends, titans and effigies EVOKEN will play their only exclusive live show in the Baltic States at club "Melnā Piektdiena", Riga, Latvia on Thursday, June 27, 2013. 

The band will perform the headline show in the "Antithesis" event, which is dedicated to promote the melancholic Doom metal music in Latvia. It will be a third event under the name of "Antithesis" and it is going to be the most spectacular in the series.

EVOKEN was founded in 1992, and since then has released 5 studio albums, with several of them considered to be the classic of the genre - "Embrace the Emptiness" (1998), "Quietus" (2001), "Antithesis of Light" (2005). Their latest album "Atra Mors" (2012), marks the bands return from hiatus. The fans of funeral doom place Evoken alongside such acts as Thergoton and Skepticism. Evoken is considered as one of the most influential bands of the genre and has influenced the entire generation of followers. The band will play in the Baltic States for the first time.

EVOKEN will be accompanied on stage by bands EVADNE (Spain), OPHIS

(Germany) and FRAILTY (Latvia).

Tickets are available via www.ticketshop.lv. form 18.04.13
