OMISSION - 2nd album soon on Xtreem Music

Spanish Satanic Speed Thrashers OMISSION have just finished the recordings of their 2nd full length album entitled "Merciless Jaws from Hell" which will be released through XTREEM MUSIC in January 2011.

The band suffered a few line-up changes since the release of their debut album "Thrash Metal is Violence" in late 2009 so this new opus was recorded by the two remaining members Patillas (guitars/vocals) & Marco (guitars) with the addition of new bass player Surt and with AVULSED's drummer Riky playing the entire recording as session member, as the band is still searching for a steady drummer.

"Merciless Jaws from Hell" was recorded between August - October at Wolfpack Studios and is a step further on the band's own style of merciless and violent Speed Thrash Metal and will empower the already leading band's position within the spanish Thrash Metal scene. Track list for the new album is as follows:

01. Erotic Nightmares
02. A Field Sowed Of Coffins
03. Northmen Wrath
04. We Are The Dead
05. Architects Of Fear
06. Fuckin' Alone
07. The Light In My Dark
08. Here We Stand
09. Day Of Your Death Arrives...
10. You Can't Hide
11. Ianus Rex Infernorum

OMISSION is currently finishing the last details of the mixings to leave everything ready for the release of their second blasphemy in January 2011. You can actually hear an advance track entitled "We are the Dead" at the band's official MySpace: www.myspace.com/omissionthrashmetal

With this message they want to show the audience human mistakes and the egocentricegoistic seek for power and it’s consequences. Starting with the values of life which are put aside by the pursuit of power, back to the thought that the sun would never rise again.

ACHOKARLOS - "Mind landscapes"

ACHOKARLOS - "Mind landscapes"

ACHOKARLOS band was formed in 2004 as a "one man band" by Achokarlos, who composes, records and mix all compositions. After a few years of creation, all those songs was united to give birth to "Parametric Milk" in 2008 strongly influenced by bands like Death, Pantera, Textures and even Dream Theater. A mix of shredding death progressive, all songs instrumental.
      After this release, Achokarlos was finalist at DEAN Guitars contest among thousands of guitar players from world wide in late 2008. It also became known through Youtube getting more than 9 million of plays of his videos online.
      After that, Achokarlos decided to leave the heavy shredding and focus more on brutality and did compose songs for the next release "Forget all you know" in 2009. Full technical progressive death metal album. Achokarlos sings in this album too.
      After the release Achokarlos decided that the sound he is looking for would be more experimental and atmospherically strongly influenced by Devin Townsend with the heavy sound of 8 strings guitars.
This is show "Mind Landscapes" came out. For the new songs, he decided to compose a new album called "Mind Landscapes". This time, he has deluxe collaborations like members from CYNIC, DAATH, TEXTURES, VORTICE and many more.

TOMB: TOTAL OCCULTIC MECHANICAL BLASPHEMY

TOMB: TOTAL OCCULTIC MECHANICAL BLASPHEMY


T.O.M.B. is a mysterious, unnamed and faceless entity well known for crafting the darkest noise recordings with the aid of nothing but field recordings. To collect the field recordings T.O.M.B. travelled and trespassed through the earth’s darkest landmarks including (but not limited to) byberry mental institution, Penn Hurst state school, the grave of Euronymous, Waverly Hills (kentucky), Norristown State Hospital, Lambertville High School, Eden Hall Church, Bethlehem steel works, graveyards, abandoned buildings, and the ruins of civilization as we know them.
TOMB’s sound is the reverberation of decaying and dying structures as caught and recorded and in their purest form. There is no manipulation, no tinkering, nothing contrived, nothing planned. This sound is truly the channeling of unholy entities through one helpless, faceless husk of a man.
T.O.M.B. has had a long career with three full-length albums and countless compilations, split releases, and collaborations with other artists.
A unique ritualistic experience based and recorded at Norristown State Mental Hospital and Pennhurst State Hospital in Pennsylvania. And so...emerging as one of the best catastrophic black noise ambience able to mutate into the most abrasive, corrosive and obscure forms with any limits. A suggestive journey to the most insane hidden mental larva’s evoking the necessary paradigms to keep your senses in a catatonic state all the time. "Pennhurst", includes a total of 5 compositions, which begin with "Primevil Sorcery" a lethal industrial composition with strong and dark platform, converging into a claustrophobic piece, encapture the whole essence of what T.O.M.B, can create through the whole album."Maz Ov Tha Damd”, has been evoked through Invoking images of suffering, the voices and mind of the departed through channeling of bones and other habiliments of the grave. Subliminal percussive elements and obscure atmospheres emanating its malefic forces through the extreme uses of diverse elements and drone soundscapes. Another ritualistic piece here is "Goetic Naos", more dense than the last ones, but still keeping such suggestive and obscure sounds crawling into such vaporous drone elements and envisions the magnificent of what T.O.M.B is all about. The track is so long almost 25 minutes, of pure psychotic oppressive musik."Audi Alteram Partem", comes into obscure female chants as evoking atavistic forces bit similar to the ones at Diamanda Galas. The final composition is the title track "Pennhurst",a deconstructive black noise piece full of schizophrenic states and agonic structures with intense moments from start to finish. The album comes on a black cdr with velvet pouch, drawing sigils and special packaging.

Penn Hurst is a release which will sit heavy on the heart and remain there in stone through passing states of consciousness, penetrating deeply into one’s sleep and most private thoughts. T.O.M.B. recorded this entire release in the decaying and deserted halls of Penn Hurst State School, an abandoned mental facility that once stood 27 buildings tall and 300 acres wide right smack in the middle of bumblefuck Pennsylvania. Penn Hurst was shut down when it was learnt that the staff were brutally molesting, raping, abusing, torturing and experimenting on the patients, many of whom were involuntarily committed for crimes against society. T.O.M.B. spent many nights in Penn Hurst collecting field recordings of percussive pieces, contact mic investigations, lunar oscillation, ambient acoustics, incantations, a piano, metal surfaces, and natural tunnel reverberations. This release is in a universe all of its own… There are multiple layers of sub sonic speech going on here that are hypnotic, reminiscent of low frequency oscillators almost inaudible almost undetectable save for the gurgling and sinking feeling they produce in the stomach… Percussive, dark maelstrom of subsonic energy. This release captures the intensity of Penn Hurst at midnight in the dead of winter. Beyond metal… Hypnotic and intoxicating.

TOMB: BLACK CRYPT WORSHIP (2001)
Brutal "Black Crypt Metal" from the USA.
This very original piece of work brilliantly casts an absolutely horrifying atmosphere with its simple song structures. This band has gone to a few lengths to create something unique here and have even used Crypt doors as their percussion.
TOMB is the type of band which only comes along once in a blue moon and stuns its listeners with its audio capacity.

Tomb join a sub-genre of bands that create ritualistic, ambient noise devoid of melody or many other musical trappings in the quest to produce uniquely atmospheric illusions. Like other bands in this genre e.g., Abruptum, Emit, Nebiros; Tomb use distortion to mould sound to serve their purposes. Not loud and harsh to try and blind us to their weakness, this is artistic.
The construction of each song is relatively simple, but because of the motifs, can sound meticulous. In other words, careful layering allows each track to possess the ritualistic monotony, but retain a creative wave throughout. Tomb know how to implement an idea and when to introduce variations, this timing allows each song to drag on without losing its consistency.
The distorted backbone - which can be easily mistaken for a distorted guitar, but is more likely a digital effect - creates the thickest layer when used. The most possessive layer: percussion and samples form the rhythm and control the pace. Vocals are another ritualistic element which do not seem to bare much reliance on the music. This is an encouraged element in such environments - vocals naturally exorcised in chaotic heedlessness. The discharge of Demons is very rarely set to any timescale.
Included with the CD-R is an AVI video that features a clip of a cloaked figure hitting crypt doors for this recording. The results of which are heard through several tracks. The video also includes an interview.
A six-track six-year compilation of blackened torturous noise, which remains atmospheric and effectively complex. The type of music that must be played loud and with bass on full. Impressive early works by a mind that obviously knows how to construct valuable material, further projects will be anticipated.

TOMB: MACABRE NOIZE ROYALE (2008)
T.O.M.B. is a mysterious, unnamed entity well known for crafting the darkest noise recordings with the aid of nothing but field recordings. With Macabre Noize Royale, T.O.M.B. has set out to push the boundaries further than ever before. To collect the field recordings T.O.M.B. travelled and trespassed through Pennsylvania’s darkest landmarks including:

Bethlehem Steel Works - builder of large calibre guns during WWI and WWII
Eden Hall Church - 157 year old gothic church destroyed from arson
Laurel Hill Cemetery - 170 year old cemetery
Lambertville High School - students burned alive 30 years ago, site of countless suicides since.
Each location has a disturbing history and they have become locations of multiple ghost sightings and unexplained deaths.

Through these field recordings, smashing recording rods into massive steel structures and ancient crypt doors, T.O.M.B. reawakens the decaying structures and the agonizing history they hold sealed.
The recordings are then crafted into the darkest, heaviest BLACK NOISE ever recorded. And for the first time full Black Metal / Industrial tracks have been created.

Macabre Noize Royale is T.O.M.B.’s most diverse album by far. Integrating pure noise with ambience, Industrial and Black Metal. The clear intention is to push the boundaries of Black Noise sound manipulation and continue to shock the listener (both fans and newcomers).

So many bands use periods like they use umlauts, just throwing them into to make their band name seem more fucked up or evil or grim. So we fully expected that T.O.M.B. were doing just that, until we discovered it does actually stand for something: Total, Occultic, Mechanical, Blasphemy.
 Which is in fact a pretty good name for these guys. Cuz this is indeed some seriously occultic mechanical blasphemy. This one man band from Pennsylvania is one of the new breed of black metallers, with a healthy appetite for NOISE, but in T.O.M.B., that appetite is sated in a fairly unique way. Every song here was recorded in a different location, various places in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, all in some way spiritual, whether they were the location of some tragedy, or perhaps they are supposedly haunted, each one adding their vibe and spirit to the recordings, not to mention their bizarre acoustics.
 The tracks here range from blown out blurred dronemusic, thick with distortion and buzzing guitars howled vocals, and tons of reverb from the huge concrete environs, while others are more straight ahead blackened buzz, but even those tracks are far from straight ahead, the two disparate sounds often getting all tangled up in one another, or even overlapping, the more metal parts slipping from loping mathy black metal to furious thrashing, cool start stop dynamics, haunting minor key melodies...
 But the best tracks are definitely the ones that sounds like some fucked up grim metal band set up at the bottom of some cistern or on the wide open floor of some burnt out factory. The drums a machine like pulse, the guitars a howling cloud of droney buzz, the vocals just adding to the din, every once in a while bits of guitar drifting to the surface, some tracks it sounds like the band is playing in another room, very much like it sounds standing right outside the door of a club, but way more murky and washed out. Because of the field recording aspect, the sound quality varies dramatically, and tends toward the raw and lo-fi, but that's the point, it's the industrial city version of Nordic bands recording in the woods, this is band out in 'the wild', incorporating the surroundings into their sound, almost creating a new kind of USBM, this is definitely not for everyone. The sound is damaged and really strange, the metal here is plenty buzzing and blasting, but more often than not is wreathed in reverb, or buried in murk, or just plain fucked up, but awesomely fucked up. Headphones help for sure, there's so much to hear, so much going on beneath the noise and within the black buzz. Definitely one of the coolest weirdest black metal records so far this year...

TOMB: TOTAL OCCULTIC MECHANICAL BLASPHEMY II (2010)
What is Black Metal?  Other than the subject must pertain to Satanism in some respect, what exactly are the criteria for giving oneself the Black Metal moniker?  Back when the world was new, it meant that you were diametrically opposed to anything Christian, that you were a loner and an elitist and that you expressed yourself to those only that you deemed worthy.  Musically, it needed to be raw and unmixed, no clean production or name producer.  It had to sound as unrestrained as the subject.
How times have changed, as they always do.  What started out as a philosophical and spiritual (or lack thereof) movement has transformed into just another genre of Heavy Metal.  Yet there are still stalwarts to the original feelings.  In that we can include T.O.M.B.  Hailing from Pennsylvania; the group, which includes many musicians, has here amassed recordings from 1996 – 2006. 
Here within we find low-fi  Black Metal infused with Industrial, EBM and field recordings.  The afore mentioned field recordings take place from Laurel Hill Cemetery, Pennhurst State Mental Hospital and the tragic Byberry Mental Hospital.  The musicians are able to create an interesting mix of the previous genres focusing on combining them with excruciatingly painful vocals. Within that they construct a primitive, infernal atmosphere, devoid of the usual Black Metal clichés.  Drums are tribal, vocals are pained and dispirited hymns are added to an already unsettling aura.
In the end it all feels real; the music they create and the backdrop they set for us.  Forget what Black Metal is as of 2010.  This is the pure aural sound of unsettling malevolence, and done extremely well.

AGALLOCH - "Marrow Of The Spirit" Now Available

AGALLOCH - "Marrow Of The Spirit" Now Available
"For when I die, the universe will die with me... And all will be lost forever gone."


The North American version of the long-awaited new AGALLOCH album “Marrow Of The Spirit” is now available to order through our website.

Presenting a much darker, colder, and harsher opus than anything the Pacific Northwest dark metal legends have come forth with, “Marrow Of The Spirit” also sees AGALLOCH deliver their most epic and cinematic album to date. Where moments from the band’s entire repertoire have seeped their way into this latest observation, “Marrow Of The Spirit” presents a new chapter in the AGALLOCH legacy that wholly defines itself as its own distinct entity. Where each of the six compositions that conspire to create the apocalyptic journey that is “Marrow Of The Spirit” are their own individual segments that stand onto themselves, the overall balance created when conjured together becomes an emotionally stirring pillage into an otherworldly realm of darkness and despair.

“Marrow Of The Spirit” is also the first album to feature new AGALLOCH drummer Aesop Dekker (also in Profound Lore acts LUDICRA and WORM OUROBOROS) and features guest appearances by cellist Jackie Perez Gratz (GRAYCEON, GIANT SQUID, ASUNDER, AMBER ASYLUM), Jeffrey Neblock (VINDENSÅNG), and Nathan Carson (WITCH MOUNTAIN, TWO-TON BOA, SUNN 0)))).

Presented in a six-panel digipack with a 12-page booklet all in spot gloss, tracklisting for “Marrow Of The Spirit” goes as follows:

1. They Escaped The Weight Of Darkness [3:41]
2. Into The Painted Grey [12:25]
3. The Watcher’s Monolith [11:46]
4. Black Lake Nidstång [17:34]
5. Ghosts Of The Midwinter Fires [9:40]
6. To Drown [10:27]

An MP3 of the track ‘The Watcher’s Monolith’ can be heard HERE

“Marrow Of The Spirit” can be ordered HERE

WEST COAST TOUR REMINDER
Just another reminder that in accordance with the release of “Marrow Of The Spirit”, AGALLOCH have announced a West Coast tour with Austrian industrial/neo-folk/martial ambient act Allerseelen. The tour begins on Dec 17th in AGALLOCH’s hometown of Portland, Oregon which will also serve as their record release show. The dates with Allerseelen go as follows:

They will be extensively designed and will be printed on the highest quality brand to ensure that this piece of merch that we will be doing in accordance with “Marrow Of The Spirit” is of an exceptional durable brand. We will not be taking any reservations or pre-orders for this item whatsoever. We don’t know when we will have them up for sale yet but once we do, we will be putting them up immediately for sale through our website.

CRUSTACEAN has been around since 1994 and has since released a mini CD "Headcleaner" ('95) and two full length albums: "Burden of our Suffering" ('98) and "Insaniac" ('03). After a promotional tour the band spent time on other successful live-projects only to re-appear in the best line-up ever in 2007. Since then the band has been focusing on writing their best and most intense Thrash Metal album ever, "Greed, Tyranny & Sodomy".

CRUSTACEAN  is a band with a solid line-up, also performing live as SLAYER cover band for over twelve years now. The influence of SLAYER is undeniable, however CRUSTACEAN is all but a SLAYER coverband. CRUSTACEAN set out to create a rocksolid yet exciting and varied Thrash Metal album. "Greed, Tyranny & Sodomy" was recorded and produced at Double Noise Studios in Tilburg (Holland) by Gerben van der Aa and mastered at Fabrika13 (Slovenia) by Slobodan Milunovic.

"Greed, Tyranny & Sodomy" is expected be released April 2011 but you can actually listen two advance tracks which will give you an idea of the direction of the new album by this great dutch band. Just visit their official MySpace www.myspace.com/crustaceanmetal

Skyline - Theatrical Trailer


In the sci-fi thriller Skyline, strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth.

NYKTA ALBUM TO BE RELEASED ON HELLS HEADBANGERS

HHR are proud to announce the signing of Greek Black Metal Masters ZEMIAL for their album "Nykta"! Be sure to check out the teaser track below.

Also watch out for a limited edition 7" EP entitled "Dusk" which will serve as an appetizer for the new album but feature exclusive material.
Vorskaath elaborates further:

"So here it is at last! I am very pleased to announce that the long-awaited NYKTA will be released via Hells Headbangers Records worldwide.

As some of you have already noticed, a teaser of NYKTA is already uploaded to give you a taste of what is to come. Yet, the scope of NYKTA reaches farther, into new territory and the music itself will speak louder than anything I have to say here. Good things take time and the time for this good thing is almost here.

Now Hells Headbangers were Zemial's very first distribution partner in the USA when I decided to release In Monumentum via NYX and have remained one of our closest and most valued associates over the past 4 years.

Having secured a major distribution deal with RED handling Canada and the USA and PHD/Code7 handling international distribution, Hells Headbangers will ensure that the music of Zemial will finally become widely available to friends and fans across the globe - an important step for us after years of very limited distribution.

In the meantime, the recording of NYKTA continues. What I have uploaded is only a rough version of the final product. However I am very glad to see everybody's appreciation of the new material and sound I thank all of you who wrote with positive commentary. Being the musician, sound-engineer and producer at the same time is a challenging task and your opinions and feedback give me that much needed objectivity.

I anticipate having completed NYKTA by September. When it is done, it will fully represent the vision I have in mind and something to be remembered as progressive and musical.

No compromise!

In the meantime, keep listening and sending in your messages and comments. I appreciate!

Forever.

Vorskaath"

SPEEDWOLF SIGN WITH Hells Headbangers

Denver, Colorado's SPEEDWOLF are currently recording their debut full-length album to be released on Gatefold LP and CD formats via Hells Headbangers. Putrid has been enlisted for cover artwork duties and the first 100 copies will be on colored vinyl.

INVISIBLE ORANGES DEMO REVIEW:
"If technical metal and meandering psych/prog have you looking for something more straightforward, Speedwolf is the answer. This Denver 4-piece is a no-frills thrash/punk assault on all things ironic. While many of their more successful peers are kitschy or disingenuous, Speedwolf is the real deal. Bark at the Poon (2009, self-released) has the same kind of raw, kinetic energy you find on Iron Maiden's Soundhouse Tapes or The Misfits Bullet 7". Reed Brummel's Lemmy/Danzig vocals perfectly complement the old-school tone present throughout the four songs on this tape. (Yes, as in cassette tape.) "Speedwolf" sets a creepy horror vibe before jumping into a crusty-d-beat attack. "Death Ripper" finds Brummel channeling Venom's Cronos. With raspy vocals and proto-kvlt riffs, this track could easily have come from the Black Metal sessions.

"I put Speedwolf on an "old-school" mixtape with Black Flag, Motorhead, Cryptic Slaughter, and Hellhammer (among others), and gave it to a few friends. No one came close to guessing there was a recording from 2009 on there. Some would say that's a bad thing, but if you can appreciate history, you'll appreciate what these guys do. -Chris Rowella

Ayscobe - Beside Yourself - Firefield Records

Ayscobe - Beside Yourself - Firefield Records

Facts
Opponents, aims, winning, losing, no freedom nor peace. The prog outfit Ayscobe was founded by guitarist Michael Tenten in 2003 in Reutlingen, near Stuttgart. Together with Ullrich Treß (bass), Bastian Rustedt (vocals) and different musicians he worked on his vision of progressive rock music. Ayscobe’s influences ranges from the early seventies to modern progressive music. After some years searching for the right sounds the band started to work on
their rock opera BESIDE YOURSELF in 2007. The line-up was completed in 2009 with Murat Yürek (guitar) and Simon Schmiss (drums). BESIDE YOURSELF is a mixture of catchy melodies and progressive arrangements. Let’s join the passage between dream and reality! Welcome to the world of Pete!

The lyrics
Life as a game: There are only opponents, aims, winning, losing, no freedom nor peace. The rock opera BESIDE YOURSELF tells the story of the resulting misunderstanding and verbal inaccessibility. Pete was born with an extraordinary fantasy and wandered back and forth between dreams and reality, until he could not tell the difference between them. His friends tried to make him aware of his mental absence, but he only tried to distance himself.
In the fight for his way of being he could no longer decide which way is the right one to find inner peace. Finally he decided to follow his dreams that he believed he could control. The dream of peace is broken as a Harlequin (as a symbol of the suppressed reality) appeared and convinced him that he made the wrong choice.
In awareness that his world is a fantasy world, Pete now saw the Harlequin as an enemy and let him die in his dreams. Disgusted at himself, he tried to escape back to reality, just to find out that this is not possible anymore …

Emerald - Re-Forged CD Heavy Metal Pure Steel Records

Emerald - Re-Forged CD Heavy Metal Pure Steel Records
November 19th 2010

Facts
There could actually not have been a better title for this album than “Re – forged”. Bandleader Michael Vaucher had to face the loss of his long time partner in crime Jvo Julmy, who dominated and defined the EMERALD sound with his high pitched, slightly fragile and highly charismatic voice over the years. Thomas Winkler, his successor, has to accept a heavy inheritance, though he holds the ground and withstands with his powerful metal voice all uprising hassles. Since Jvo also took on the 2nd guitar, the new man for this is Manuel Werro. In the field of songwriting, Michael Vaucher still keeps the reins and so there will be nothing but pure EMERALD metal to worship on this, their fifth album, which marks a new beginning on the other hand with the newly structured band. It is their heaviest album so far with the most wicked and unleashed guitar duels, the chunkiest riffs and most forceful rhythms to date, on which the majestic and determined sounding voice of Thomas Winkler rides like a knight in the middle of a giant battle. With Sean Peck (CAGE) and Mike Sifringer(DESTRUCTION) additionally 2 well-known guest musicians are on board. “Re – forged” unites creativity, passion for the music and great fun playing heavy metal, which you can hear from every note this band plays. It takes EMERALD to a new level. This is a step that should certainly convince most and silence the poor rest of the critics and lead into a bright future.

LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH - New Track Stream Available Via Stereogum


LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH - New Track Stream Available Via Stereogum
Today Stereogum premieres "Invoke The Desolate One," the third track off of LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH's The Extra Dimensional Wound full-length, released earlier this year. The second official studio offering (and first for Metal Blade Records) from the Southern California black metal horde was recorded in Corona, California at Trench Studios by guitarist Roska with John Haddad handling engineering duties, and was mixed and mastered by Sverker "Necro" Widgren at the legendary Necromorbus Studios in Stockholm Sweden.

Said About.com of the record: "one of the label's best releases in recent memory. What makes this album work so well is that LSOD haven't lost their powerful low end, their penchant for blasphemy [or] their H.P. Lovecraft tinged-lyrics; " Stereogum commended the band saying The Extra Dimensional Wound is "brutal, icy hot, super heavy, [and] full of lurching 'grooves,'" while Invisible Oranges added adamantly: "perhaps the first American black metal band who can go toe-to-toe with Europe's heavy-hitters in terms of force." The Gauntlet put it simply: "LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH evoke unforgiving torture and terror with every note."

In related news, he band will take their auditory brutality to the stage next month for a special pre-holiday one off show with more dates to be announced in the coming weeks.

Turisas: “Stand Up And Fight” out 2011, tour w/ Die Apokalyptischen Reiter confirmed

Turisas: “Stand Up And Fight” out 2011, tour w/ Die Apokalyptischen Reiter confirmed
The Finnish Battle Metal outfit TURISAS will release their highly anticipated album “Stand Up And Fight” on the following dates:
Europe: January 31st, 2011
North America: February 8th, 2011
All other territories will be announced shortly.

Along with releasing a new album, TURISAS is to join Cradle of Filth on a US tour in February-March 2011. The other supporting bands on this tour are Nachtmystium (USA) and Daniel Lioneye (FIN). Right after returning from the States TURISAS will join forces with Die Apokalyptischen Reiter on a European tour in March-April 2011. This is the second time the bands hit the road together: TURISAS did their very first European tour with Die Apokalyptischen Reiter in 2005. Since then, both bands have taken giant leaps and now, six years later, their paths will cross once again.

Violinist Olli Vänskä comments: "In 2005 we only had a few shows under our belt and were total beginners with touring. We had such a blast on that first tour, played really nice shows and were happy with how Die Reiter treated us rookies. When they asked if we wanted to join them on tour again it was a kind of a 'why not' decision for us - an interesting and entertainment-guaranteed combo."

TesseracT: to support PERIPHERY on the LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY DJENTLEMEN UK TOUR JAN/FEB 2011

TesseracT: to support PERIPHERY on the LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY DJENTLEMEN UK TOUR JAN/FEB 2011
UK’s Prog YoungStars TESSERACT just returned from a successful US tour as special guest of Devin Townsend and are ready to announce the next tour. This time they are invited to be the special guest for their American friends PERIPHERY. Also on the bill are their UK mates MONUMENTS.
"After many years of hard work it is finally happening! A TesseracT and Periphery tour! Since Acle and Misha started talking all those years ago, you just knew it would come eventually. We cannot wait to show the UK exactly what both bands are about, and are very happy at the prospect of sharing the stage with such a great band."
Periphery guitarist/lead songwriter Misha Mansoor, enthuses, “We are so excited to play in the UK, and especially so with our buddies in TesseracT and Monuments. I have known Acle from TesseracT and Browne and Paul from Monuments for like 5 years now, and it’s going to be awesome to not only tour with some good friends but in brand new places for Periphery! This lineup will make for some fun shows, so be sure to come out and hang with all of us!!”
TESSERACT just released the “Concealing Fate EP” as an appetizer to the upcoming album “One”, that will be released worldwide on Century Media Records in March 2011.
With constant support from the UK media, TESSERACT has been able to achieve a loyal following in their home country as well as the rest of Europe, having their video for Concealing Fate Part II in constant rotation on Scuzz TV and other media outlets.

Formed in 2003 as a solo writing project in the mind of guitarist Acle (who was a founding member in Fell Silent) TESSERACT first broke through in the scene with their 2007 demo and later appearances at UK’s Bloodstock, Hammerfest, and the Hellfire 2 festival at the Birmingham NEC arena. TESSERACT soon became one of the most talked about bands among musicians and tech-heads, thanks to the quintet’s time signatures and musical complexity. TESSERACT are far from an exclusionary exercise in tech metal pomposity though. They fully embrace their experimental, prog sensibility without excessive indulgence or pretentiousness, delivering atmospheric, metallic songs that stir strong emotions and evoke powerful mental images.

LAST CHANCE TO REASON Sign To PROSTHETIC RECORDS

PROSTHETIC RECORDS is happy to announce the signing of the Augusta, Maine based, experimental prog-metal sextet, LAST CHANCE TO REASON. The band will be releasing their second full length, "Level 2," in early 2011 and played MetalSucks/Metal Injection/1000 Knives' joint showcase at CMJ this week.

Teaming up with producer Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Human Abstract), LAST CHANCE TO REASON set out to create a modern take on the classic progressive concept album. Drawing influence from the 70's prog of King Crimson and Yes, composers Steve Reich and Schoenberg as well as prog-metal masters Opeth, Dream Theater and Cynic, LCTR's upcoming "Level 2" takes the band in awe-inspiring new directions.

Set in a Tron-like virtual world, the album's concept revolves around the relationship between man and technology, our move from physical reality to virtual spaces and what these changes mean to our lives and our art. The lyrics are expressed from the point of view of an artificial intelligence facing the violent reality of a videogame world.

Drummer Evan Sammons, commented on the signing: "We're super pumped for the signing with Prosthetic as they understand what we do as a band and they are actively involved with a lot of other bands that influence us and our music including as Animals As Leaders, Gojira, and many more."

Since forming in 2005, LAST CHANCE TO REASON has shared the stage with Born of Osiris, Genghis Tron, Periphery, The Red Chord, Daath, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, Unearth and many more. Look for the band to hit the road in early 2011.

We often get requests for these songs and are happy to have them back in print, complete with new artwork from our drummer, Mullet Chad. You can get them online from Prosthetic, and of course, we'll have them for sale at all of our upcoming tour dates while they last. Get 'em quick, because they're extremely limited!"

KORGULL THE EXTERMINATOR rules!!

"War of the Voivodes", the 2nd album of spanish most nasty and wicked Axe Thrash Metal act KÖRGULL THE EXTERMINATOR, is getting only great reactions everywhere!! While their debut album "Dogs of War" didn't get the expected reception for such a killer work, this time with their sophomore release, even one of the most respected gurus in the Metal scene had to surrender in front of such a devastating album.

This is no other than DARKTHRONE's Fenriz himself who's contributing for Germany's ROCK HARD Mag and wrote a 9/10 review for KÖRGULL's "War of the Voivodes" which reads like this:
"They continue their massive attack, but this time only their "Kingdom of Darkness II" track has anything to do with the 90's.
Yes my friends, KÖRGULL has finally taken the big plunge into the 80's, this most definately being for fans of MERCILESS "The Awakening", 3 first VOIVOD albums and last but not least that golden Steamhammer LP version of "Obsessed by Cruelty" (SODOM). It's still the same perfect necro wonderful drumming, the beyond Lemmy growling bass and a wall of delightfully sepulchral guitars.
The vocals are out of this world this time, they float on top of the music in a weird way and are so harsh, perfectly effective in their sheer DEADNESS that I have to say that these are probably the best Black Metal vocals right now.
If anything, the album is too long (!), the onslaught is really too massive, and they could have saved the "Road Killer" song for a vinyl 7" release. Then again, their version of the PLASMATICS "Doom Song" totally blows me away, vocals bestially insanely cool here, I am at a loss for words. And I don't really even like cover songs. But this one is worth every penny".

So if Fenriz said this.... AMEN!! And this just one of the album's most outstanding reviews!! Reactions like this are happening in a few other magazines & webzines from people who truly appreciate the greatness of this band that is for sure to become a cult act in years to come!! So if you still didn't know this band, you can always visit their official MySpace at www.myspace.com/korgulltheexterminator to listen their corrisive stuff, and of course you know you can buy their two killer albums through XTREEM MUSIC's mailorder!!
