Finnish extreme metal phenoms ANZILLU – whose sound is punctuated by buzz-saw guitar riffs delivered with equal amounts of dexterous shredding and pummeling brute force – have signed with M-Theory Audio. The group's as-yet-untitled debut full-length is currently set to be unleashed at the beginning of 2023. In the meantime, ANZILLU's first single “Needles (On My Nerves)” is available for streaming now, and the music video for the song is available to view at:



Additional music from the band's debut album will be unveiled throughout the remainder of 2022.

Says the band, “Having worked hard and kept a tight lid on this band during the COVID-pandemic, it’s great to finally see that our patience paid off. We are thrilled to start working with M-Theory on this upcoming release and can’t wait for people to hear the album. You can expect a couple of tunes to drop throughout the year before the January release.”

Though the band itself is new, the musicians comprising ANZILLU are not inexperienced. The new group – whose name is inspired by the ancient Sumerian word for “abomination” - was formed in 2019 by guitarist Jesse Kämäräinen after the dissolution of his previous group Inkvisitor, which released two records of thrash-influenced extreme metal between 2015 and 2018.  Kämäräinen had already demoed an album's worth of new material at the time of that development, and went on to bring in a battery of fellow notables that had also been making their names within Finnish metal circles to form ANZILLU. The searing vocal talents of Teemu Kemppainen (Argent Void), the thunderous bass of Rasmus Kantonen, and the death metal crunch of fellow guitarist Sami Katajainen (GAF) join Kämäräinen's six-string powers to deliver a blistering assault of aural senses.

ANZILLU – now armed with a full album's worth of material and their collective metallic powers – honed the existing demos into their final form throughout the first half of last year, and entered Sonic Pump Studios in August 2021 with Nino Laurenne (Wintersun, Lost Society, Amorphis, Apocalyptica) behind the soundboard handling recording/mixing duties. The music video for “Needles (On My Nerves)” is just a small taste of the metallic mayhem set to be delivered in full by ANZILLU. The group is also set to perform live June 3rd at Tiivistamö – Helsinki, Finland, as well as at the the John Smith Rock Festival in Laukaa, Finland headlined this year by Airbourne, Dark Tranquillity, Powerwolf, and more - during the weekend of July 21st through July 23rd.

More information on ANZILLU, their debut album, and their plans for additional live shows will be revealed in the weeks to come by M-Theory Audio and at www.facebook.com/anzillufi.

of the most esteemed names in modern Swedish metal, TRIBULATION have extended their partnership with their long-standing record label, Century Media Records, and have not only entered into a new worldwide deal, but are also working on new recordings right now.

Furthermore, TRIBULATION’s latest album ‘Where the Gloom Becomes Sound’ (2021) has just won a Swedish Grammis Award last week for best ‘Rock/Metal Album’. Nominees amongst this category were At The Gates, Lucifer, The Night Flight Orchestra and Nestor. It is the second Swedish Grammis in TRIBULATION’s history after winning the first award with their 2018 effort ‘Down Below’.

Addressing the news of their extended relationship with the CM, as well as the band’s upcoming release plans, TRIBULATION guitarist and founding member Adam Zaars comments:

“After this involuntary hiatus, this global societal and cultural hiccup, we are just about to return to the stages and as already announced, we have already started our next chapter. As of now, we have a few new songs recorded that will be released digitally later this year and on wax as soon as possible after that. It’s a Tribulation you will recognize, but in a new shroud with new tastes and smells. Angrier, darker, and a tad more cynical. We have also slowly started working on our next album that we will yet again release with our long-term partners Century Media Records, with whom we have now signed a worldwide deal. Make sure to catch us live this summer!”

Philipp Schulte (Director Century Media) further states:
„We are happy to extend our partnership with Tribulation. Band and label have gone a long way together already. We are looking forward to years ahead of us as the band’s worldwide label home.”

Check out TRIBULATION’s most recently released 18-minute opus ‘The Dhampir’, which has previously only been available in full length as a bonus track on the Deluxe Vinyl Version of the band’s critically acclaimed album ‘Where the Gloom Becomes Sound’.

BIO

Monasterium is a Polish band founded in 2014 and dedicated to epic heavy/doom metal. All members of the brotherhood are experienced musicians sharing passion, common vision and belief in the power of traditional metal. These virtues have brought them to their eponymous first full length album released in May 2016 by No Remorse Records.

Monasterium won critical acclaim of the metal underground and was promoted live at the highly esteemed European metal festivals: Hammer Of Doom, Up The Hammers, Malta Doom Metal Festival, Doom over Vienna, and the Seeds of Doom festival.

In 2019 Monasterium released sophomore album Church Of Bones via Nine Records. While offering a broad variety in the songwriting, all eight anthems are the worship of the classic sound and stand tall in the fight for true metal.

 Milwaukee, WI progressive sludge quartet, NORTHLESS will release the bands long-awaited and most crushing new full-length to date titled, A Path Beyond Grief, on July 22, 2022 via Translation Loss Records.

Over the 7 tracks of A Path Beyond Grief, NORTHLESS intertwine mournful and dreaded sludge laced with cold, unforgiving doom. Each monumental, power-driven track delivers seismic destruction while triumphantly making way for the ascension and emergence of new creation. The album features guest appearances from Ethan McCarthy (PRIMITIVE MAN, VERMIN WOMB), Erin Severson (FORMER WORLDS), and Alaina Leisten.

Formed in 2007 as a sublimation of the musical wills of Erik Stenglein, NORTHLESS drew from the inspiring sounds of metal, sludge, death, doom, and hardcore. To date, the band has released three full length albums (including the NPR-acclaimed Clandestine Abuse), multiple EP’s and split releases with bands such as PRIMITIVE MAN and LIGHTBEARER. Growing more powerful with each release, NORTHLESS beam light through the gaping wounds of loss, despair, and existential misery throughout A Path Beyond Grief. "A Path Beyond Grief is an album dedicated to all those whom I have lost over the last several years," shares Stenglein. "Too many loved ones have exited this wretched existence, and this record is to honor and preserve their memory. It is a testament to the sheer will and perseverance of the human spirit. The last several years have been insanely fucked up for our species. If you’re reading this, then you’re a survivor, and you’re also bearing witness to the horrors of our time. This album is the soundtrack for those who have endured, but still carry a remnant of the painful journey with them wherever they go."

Today, along with announcing A Path Beyond Grief, NORTHLESS have unveiled the earth-shattering title track from the album. About the track, Stenglein shares: "I wrote the song in tribute to those whom I have lost over the last several years, people who have been important to me. The lyrics deal with feelings of survivor’s guilt that I experienced after the passing of a family member. I was stuck in the belief that I had failed them, because I could not beat death and prevent their passing. Musically, this is probably the most straightforward offering on the record, and one of the most straightforward things Northless has ever done, but the focus here is not so much on creating a sense of heavy chaos so much as it is delivering a somber message. Plainly put, this is a song to honor the dead, and to identify with those of us who sometimes believe we’d be better off being with them instead of rotting slowly in this shitheap of a world."

A Path Beyond Grief will be released on July 22, 2022 on two exclusive vinyl variants and on all digital platforms. The album features enthralling new artwork by Paul Evan Jeffrey. Pre-order and digital pre-save are available now. Artwork, track listing, and album details can be found below.

ALBUM DETALS: Recorded at multiple locations over a period of several years starting in 2018 and ending in 2021. Guitars, bass, synths, and primary vocals recorded at the home studio of Erik Stenglein. Backing vocals recorded at the home of Jeff Nicholas.

NILE mastermind and multi-instrumentalist KARL SANDERS is thrilled to announce that the subterranean slumber of his Eastern-ambient Saurian series has finally ceased with the impending release of its dark third chapter, Saurian Apocalypse, out July 22, 2022 via Napalm Records. This segment of the hypnotizing saga arrives 13 years after the release of its predecessor, 2009’s Saurian Exorcisms, and nearly 20 after 2004’s equally lauded Saurian Meditation.

Emphasized by unique instruments like the baglama saz (Turkish lute), Ancient Egyptian Anubis Sistrum, Dumbek (Middle Eastern goblet drum), glissentar and gongs, the album’s score weaves cinematic auras and deep grooves, accented by the tribal percussive stylings of original NILE drummer Pete Hammoura and returning Saurian vocalist Mike Breazeale. A wealth of musical growth and refinement, both in Sanders’ guitar technique and compositional development, is strikingly evident. Eons more than just an album of interludes or ambient scores, Saurian Apocalypse is a shining advancement in the Saurian series, and the most dynamic, detailed KARL SANDERS solo release yet.

Feast your ears on the forthcoming Saurian Apocalypse by way of its haunting first single, “The Sun Has Set on the Age of Man”, out today. Accompanied by an entrancing animated music video, the track instantly showcases the unique instrumentation, sparkling production, and ominous conceptual themes of the album – echoing with vibrating flutes, exotic percussion, and a contextual acoustic guest solo by guest guitar virtuoso Rusty Cooley.

KARL SANDERS says about “The Sun Has Set on the Age of Man”:
“‘The Sun Has Set on the Age of Man’ is a great choice for people’s first exposure to this album. It’s the opening track of the new Saurian record, very cinematic and an eerie mood setter. Much like the score of an opening scene of a Sci-Fi movie, the song serves as an introduction for the many twisted journeys of the album that follows. It uncannily evokes that feeling we all get right after the sun has gone down and night is upon us, conjuring an awareness of the ancient, evolutionary dread of the unknown dark and its terrors that have been imprinted on the human psyche since early prehistoric man first realized that there were things in the night that would prey upon him.

The track is also very special to me as it features two dear longtime friends of mine, original NILE drummer Pete Hammoura on percussion, and legendary guitar shredder Rusty Cooley on guest acoustic solos. Although Rusty certainly is a prolific electric guitar shredder, this track marks his debut on acoustic guitar. Thank you, Pete and Rusty!”

Watch the new music video for “The Sun Has Set on the Age of Man” HERE!



The musical and lyrical themes on Saurian Apocalypse detail the vexing fictional journey of Dr. Eduardo Lucciani, one of very few survivors of mankind’s self-destruction, who descends into madness after discovering the violent horrors occurring at the hands of the Saurian Masters.

KARL SANDERS adds about Saurian Apocalypse:
“I have been driven for years by the knowledge of an inevitable doom, of an unyielding calling to realize what seems to me a preordained fate of making a third Saurian album. It’s a record that fans have been asking about for over a decade. It’s not a record born of casual intent, it’s a record that has quietly burned within me for many years awaiting its appointed hour. I have bided my time with near inhuman patience, yet that day is now imminently upon us. This new release, Saurian Apocalypse, is a deeply personal record of quiet and exotic, hypnotic dark music spawned from somewhere deep within the Reptilian part of my brain and soul. In some way, sharing this music with fans is much like sharing the lurking, haunting visions in my skull, of quiet blasphemies and an inexorable dread of the looming demise of our species. I am beyond happy that listeners and fans will finally be able to enjoy this music as much as I and my colleagues have while making it. It is my earnest hope that the music of this Saurian Apocalypse record will bring others as much inner peace as it has me. Fuck Yes.”

Whispering atop the ominous sands of opener “The Sun Has Set on the Age of Man” are resonant flutes and forewarning percussion, and immediately, the album’s impactful production and crystal clarity is apparent. Produced by Sanders with mixing and mastering by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio, the most subtle details of instrumentation shine. “The Disembodied Yet Slither Among Us” peaks between soulful acoustic guitar renderings and droning tones, ushering in “The Evil Inherent in All of Us”, featuring another uniquely thematic axe contribution by Cooley, and surfaces as an energetic jam and standout departure from the Saurian blueprint. “Skull Fuck Ritual (Skull Breach Edition)” begins eerily with a cautionary chime before its marching drums make way for Middle Eastern-inspired leads, bridging the journey to the 6+ minute desolating trek “Nada Zaag”. Fans will hear an alluring Oud (Middle Eastern lute) solo by Mustafa Stefan Dill and rare acoustic jazz drums by current NILE percussion goliath George Kollias on “An Altered Saurian Theta State”, before the seductive auditory excursion “Nihil Emplexus” and its iridescent strums and ominous chants signal the beginning of the end. Sitar-like sounds immediately ensnare the listener on “Divergence: The Long Awaited Third Primordial Ascension” before hopeful lutes make way for heart wrenching electric shred. Far-Eastern stylings creep in on “Mask of Immutable Self Delusion”, a tranquil moment of atmospheric bliss, before the album closes with the 10 minute epic “No Creature More Deserving of Cataclysmic Annihilation” – featuring the deft skills of jazz guitarist Matthew Kay and the panicked, incensed narration of Jonathan “ADD” Garofoli as Dr. Eduardo Lucciani himself.

UK rockers Wayward Sons have announced the release of a special new EP, "Score Settled" on June 17, 2022. The EP follows the release of their latest studio album, "Even Up The Score" which came out in October 2021. The track features three new, unreleased songs that were recorded during the sessions for "Even Up The Score" as well as three tracks that were previously only released on a physical format, and a live studio version of a track previously released as a studio bonus track in Japan. See tracklisting below for more details.

Physical pre-orders are available now, exclusively from the band's webstore HERE: https://store.waywardsonsband.com/ and Frontiers Music Srl's EU webstore HERE: Frontiers Music Official Shop

Digital pre-orders and a new music video will be released on June 3, 2022.

Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Toby Jepson, who is joined by Nic Wastell (bass), Phil Martini (drums), and Sam Wood (guitar), Wayward Sons deal in energetic rock 'n roll coupled with thoughtful, insightful lyrics.Passionate, honest music made by passionate honest musicians who have come together to create rock music that reflects their heroes from the ‘70s and ‘80s, while also touching on the present – modernity through homage, if you will.

The return of former Little Angels singer Toby Jepson to the UK rock scene with Wayward Sons was a welcome event in the British hard rock music scene when it transpired some six years ago. After the overwhelming success of Little Angels, including a number one album, millions of records sold, massive sell out shows and numerous hit singles, Toby had been busy in the prior years in movie work as well as performing with Fastway, Gun, and Dio’s Disciples and producing albums for numerous bands (Saxon, Fastway, The Virginmarys, Toseland, and more). His heart, however, was always in writing and performing and so the concept of Wayward Sons was born – a new band, built for playing live. A new direction with Toby’s songs taking center stage was introduced on the debut album “Ghosts Of Yet To Come”. The album was greeted with outstanding critical acclaim and earned Wayward Sons the title of "Best New Band" at the Planet Rock awards 2018. More and increasing success followed with the release of the sophomore album, “The Truth Ain’t What It Used to Be" and their third opus, "Even Up The Score".

In support of their release, the band as played an outstanding number of shows in and outside the UK, either as a supporting act for Saxon, Inglorious, Steel Panther, Living Color and UFO or at such festivals as Download and Ramblin Man Fair and of course their own runs of headlining dates.

"Score Settled" EP Tracklist:
1. Beaten to The Punch
2. Can’t Take It Anymore
3. Real Go-Getta
4. Standby Heart (previously available on vinyl only, "Don't Wanna Go" 12" Picture Disc)

Formed in early 2020 by ex-Fiinky Pie bassist and vocalist Raymz, French heavy and classic doom metal act DEEP SPACE MASK has shared some new details about its sophomore studio album! In Tenebris will be coming out on June 24, 2022 through Argonauta Records.

Heavily inspired by an iconic league of bands such as Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Paul Chain, Trouble and Candlemass, DEEP SPACE MASK combines a mixture of heavy doom and fast-paced stoner and heavy metal, with a heavy dose of hard and classic rock.

"I like the fact of going from a very slow and heavy part, to another faster one, sometimes within the same track," says multi-instrumentalist Raymz. "Really looking forward to finally presenting you the new album which is, I think, superior to the first one. The production is better, the compositions are more elaborate and the vocals are more expressive."

Following the previously-released, first single "Clinton Road", today DEEP SPACE MASK has shared a second track taken of In Tenebris. "Slave" is showcasing the heavy metal oriented facets of the album, while keeping a stoner rock spirit. Listen to the new DEEP SPACE MASK song "Slave" here:



While the 2021-debut, "Songs From The Dark Light" (Planet K Records), has been already lauded by both genre fans and international music press alike, DEEP SPACE MASK will be taking a huge step forward with its second studio album, In Tenebris, delivering a much more various and dynamic record while heavily balancing between metal, classic doom and hard rock grandeur!

In Tenebris is slated for a release on June 24, 2022, via Argonauta Records, with a pre-sale to follow soon at THIS LOCATION!!
 

In Tenebris track listing:
01. Clinton Road
02. Dark Light
03. Into The Unknown
04. Slave
05. In Tenebris
05. Breakaway
06. Heavy Metal Thunder
07. Breaking The Silence
09. Strange Ways

Job Bos (Satyricon) and Norman Lonhard (ex-Triptykon) have announced the formation of Dead Eyed Creek.

An early preview is available now, with the band sharing a teaser for their first single “Set Me Free”:



The track will be released soon.

It was fall 2019 when guitarist and band founder Job Bos (Satyricon, Dark Fortress, The Ruins of Beverast), approached longtime friend and drummer Norman Lonhard (ex-Triptykon) with the idea of creating music together. After having worked with different musicians, they found bass player Max Blok, who proved to be the right fit for the band on both a musical and a personal level. The final person to join the band was Icelandic singer Einar Vilberg. Einar showed that his mind-blowing vocal skills and range were the number one choice for the band and together they created a mammoth of an album. Dead Eyed Creek was born!

Dead Eyed Creek’s music builds on a shared love of ‘90s rock sounds and heavy music. The band strives to go against the grain and eschews the clean and overproduced sounds found in the current scene. Job Bos says of the songwriting “I’ve been digging deep into myself, my past, my mistakes, my good and bad sides. The idea was to create something based on pure and real things, things that a lot of people have to face in life, and I hope people find a piece of themselves in our music and can hold on to it. Just like many bands have done for us. No metaphors or hiding, it’s all real and it’s all there.”

Co-producer V. Santura adds: “I think that DEAD EYED CREEK is a motherfucking great band, seriously. As a close friend of the band, I already witnessed their first steps and also the sometimes depressing difficulties and problems on the road to complete this debut album. But I have to say that I am truly stoked about their music! May the future belong to them.“
 

Dead Eyed Creek’s sound has it all - from heavy riffs and monstrous grooves to tragic and beautiful ballads and everything in between. Captivating and catchy songs with vocals that can make your skin crawl. With their music, they take the greatness of ‘90s rock to a new level, but most of all continue the sound from that era that so many have fallen in love with.

Now Dead Eyed Creek are gearing up to release their debut album. The international four piece already recorded eleven songs with German producer Michael Zech at Q7 studios in Munich and crafted something wonderfully iconoclastic. To top it off, the acclaimed American music video director Matt Mahurin, who has worked with bands such as Metallica, U2, Alice In Chains and many more, teamed up with Dead Eyed Creek to help them craft their first music videos.

The Swedish heavy/power metal masters TAD MOROSE are ready to come back with a new album! The new LP is called “March Of The Obsequious” and it comes out four years after the last effort “Chapter X”. The 10-song album will be released digitally on August 26 and as CD/vinyl on September 16 via GMR Music Group.

“March Of The Obsequious” follows the same path as their 3 recent releases, albeit with a small nod to the sound of 80s and 90s without sounding less fresh and modern. For this album, the band brought in Andreas Silén (ex. Lack Of Faith & Propane Headrush) to co-handle the guitars alongside Christer “Krunt” Andersson, as well as Johan Löfgren on bass.

The album was recorded & mixed at Studio Claustrophobic by Ronny Hemlin & Johan Löfgren and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren at Black Lounge.

Some words from Christer “Krunt” Andersson about the new album:

“All the 10 new songs are very much Tad Morose Metal, lots of variations and some weird stuff. I recorded my guitars in my own studio and the rest is recorded and mixed at Studio Claustrophobic by Ronny and Johan. They did a great job as always! So almost everything on this album is done by ourselves, writing, recording and mixing. Peter did the artwork and layout for the album cover. The only thing we didn't do was the mastering, which was yet again done by Jonas Kjellgren at Black Lounge Studios. I hope you like this one! Crank it up! Play LOUD! Cheers!”

Stay tuned, more infos coming soon!
