ALLOCHIRIA from Greece have released "Omonoia", serving elements of everything from Psychedelic Rock to Sludge-seeping Doom

ALLOCHIRIA

"Omonoia"

Released: 28 January 2014

Following a well-received self-titled EP released in 2010, Allochiria finally bring forth their debut full-length and sees the five-piece further exploring the style they set out to create since forming in 2008, which incorporates elements of everything from Psychedelic Rock to Sludge-seeping Doom.

Based in Athens, Greece, Allochiria have drawn from influences as diverse as NEUROSIS, AMENRA, PELICAN and EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY to sculpt their sound, crafting swirling and evolving songs that express a wide range feelings and emotions. There are crushing, powerful moments of aggression contrasting with vast, gentle passages that allow a certain softness and vulnerability to permeate their sound.

"Omonoia" is a fantastic record filled with captivating subtleties and nuances but also with a crushing angst-ridden tension that will surely impress fans of both NEUROSIS and PELICAN.

ISAAK: Professional gang entered the band's rehearsal studio and stole the whole property - YOU CAN HELP!

In einer Nacht- und Nebel-Aktion gelang es professionellen Dieben sämtliches Equipment der Band zu rauben. "Das Schloss wurde geknackt, die Türen schwer beschädigt und sie ließen nichts übrig", so berichtete die Band.

Aber Schwarz-Malen gehört nicht zu den Stärken von ISAAK, darum haben sie selbst schon Alles, was an finanziellen Mitteln noch übrig war investiert, damit das neue Album, das planmäßig im Herbst 2014 auf Smallstone erscheinen soll, fertig werden kann.

Alleine ist das allerdings nicht zu schaffen, daher bittet die Band um Mithilfe ihrer Fans und ruft zum Crowdfunding auf. Hier der Link: http://www.kapipal.com/16650d8743124667a71d338d88022191

Nachfolgend die offizielle Mitteilung der Band an Presse, Fans, Freunde und Supporter:

"Try to imagine walking down to your rehearsal, thinking about the riffs, building the songs of your new record… then you realize something bad in the air: arrived the rehearsal you discover nothing more has left…"

This is the official first statement after a professional gang entered ISAAK's rehearsal studio and stole the whole property of the band: cabinets, mixers, guitars, bass, drums ...everything.

“Lock broken, doors damaged and your whole life... empty. That's what no-one should experience. It's like your whole life disappeared over night”, says the band again. “This was the place we focused our ideas and wrote for the new album, tentative schedule for Small Stone Records fall 2014.“ ISAAK spent a horrible week while watching video and foto recording made by the police and whatever.

... We immediately spoke with Scott Hamilton, our label manager, and have had a meeting with our manager Mario Ruggeri of The Crew. We decided to react instantly. So we started investing all our money but we are still far from recoup everything”.

At this point ISAAK is 10,000$ far from its goal, and that’s the reason band decided to open a crowdfunding action.

“We thought about this and that and what could help to get back on track. So we fixed a certain amount of rewards and setted up a crowdfunding action."

“This is the beginning of the beginning. We are also planning some benefit shows. Then we'll close ourselves up in the studio to write the new album. But therefore we need everybody’s help!"

But don’t worry: Isaak is stronger than ever!

AGNES VEIN: Don't miss the album "Soulship" of the Greeks

Agnes Vein’s sound is a unique fusion of Epic Doom laments with the power of Hellenic Metal, echoing influences of such disparate artists as Bathory, Celtic Frost, Primordial, Pallbearer and Sunn O)).

Formed in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2001, Agnes Vein released their first EP “...Of Chaos and Law” in 2004. Countless gigs and support slots with the likes of Manilla Road, Brocas Helm, Solitude Aeturnus, Primordial, OM, Electric Wizard, Conan followed and in 2010 the trio releases their critically-lauded debut album “Duality” via Venerate Industries.

Now in 2013, Agnes Vein offers us their sophomore album entitled “Soulship”, which sees the band evolving their sound towards a darker, experimental direction, whilst retaining the same grim and direful essence presented in their early works. Throughout nearly 38 minutes Agnes Vein delivers an intriguing, disquieting concoction of monolithic, gloomy riffs played at sluggish tempos with some roaring tremolo picking and anguished screams.

“Soulship” was mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Mastodon, Baroness, Sonic Youth, etc…) at West-West Side studios in New York, and reveals a band whose talents and creativity are in their prime.
