Ecuador’s doom metal duo ZARAZA have published the full streaming of their latest album “Spasms Of Rebirth”.
The result of this is “Spasms of Rebirth”, the new album released on April 4th, 2017; a head on collision of all the musical influences that have shaped ZARAZA: doom metal, sludge metal, death metal, old-school 1980s industrial, experimental music. Everything from Cocteau Twins all the way to Napalm Death and SWANS… and many others. No boundaries, no limits.
ZARAZA were formed in 1993, in Montreal, Canada after newly arrived polish immigrant Jacek moved to the frozen wastelands of Canada in the bitter cold winter of 1990.
In a uniquely ZARAZA move, the album “Spasms of Rebirth” is released in a dual master edition. The default master is typical of how most metal albums are mastered today, i.e. geared for maximum loudness and impact, but at the cost of dynamics within the music. The second master is geared instead towards audiophiles who prefer Full Dynamic Range and value dynamics in the music over just pure loudness. Pick whichever master you like.

REVIEW: Seething Akira – Backlash (Single) by Carina Lawrence / Dark Art Conspiracy
Phpoto by Luke Bateman
Alternative hard rock ravers Seething Akira from Portsmouth, UK have unleashed their first massive anthemic single ‘Backlash’ featuring vocals from Olly Simmons of The Quemists, taken from their anticipated debut album out June 2017. The song is bold and full of angst with great lyrics like, “My blood vessels burst as I scream and curse, what have we become? What have we all done! This is my backlash!” it’s lyrics like this that help make it a live hit. It is addictive and infectiously catchy, aided by their strong and well executed use of electronic synths. I had the unforgettable experience of seeing them recently perform ‘Backlash’ live, and it was the perfect singalong party anthem, that got the crowd going wild. They are a band that need to be seen to be believed, especially in the live environment, where they truly thrive, being in their element. It’s no surprise that they have already supported the likes of Skindred, Hacktivist and Don Broco. With this hit single and their awaited debut on the way, Seething Akira look to cause a big commotion in 2017.
Score: 4/5
Video link to ‘Backlash’:
‘Backlash’ was produced by vocalist Charlie Bowes, Rhys Fulber & Jim Davies, mastered by Greg Reely (Canada), and features Olly Simmons on vocals.

24th June, La Fetes De La Musique, Belgium

BROKEN HOPE – Unveil “Mutilated and Assimilated” cover art, tracklist and formats!
Chicago’s very own conductors of Death Metal brutality, BROKEN HOPE are pleased to announce details of their forthcoming full length album, “Mutilated and Assimilated”, which will see the light of day on Friday June 23rd 2017 via Century Media Records.
Regarding the new album guitarist/lyricist/founding father Jeremy Wagner says:
“BROKEN HOPE studio album number SEVEN?! Un-fucking-believable! I’m floored at how amazing our new album turned out. The songs are relentless and violent and dark and heavy–and ALL from a fresh and ferocious place we haven’t shared before. Moreover, thanks to my new studio and the stellar work of engineering/producing Jedi—Scott Creekmore–the production is on a sonic level like we’ve never had in our career.
Thanks to my brothers: Damian, Mike, Matt, Diego, and Scott–ALL of whom brought their amazing talent and skills not just to the table, but kicked it into the stratosphere! Thank you to Wes Benscoter for collaborating with us to create the epic/sick/THING-inspired album artwork, and a huge thanks to Century Media worldwide for being in our corner with this new album.
For me personally, I feel “Mutilated and Assimilated” is my own finest hour as a guitarist and lyricist since I formed this band as teenager. I’ve never felt this inspired before. The album has my strongest riffage to date, it also has Leski riffage on a few songs, it has my best friends on it, and in a crazy twist, I used Jeff Hanneman’s guitars to write the album with and used them to track with in honor of his influence on myself AND the world of metal.
There’s a LOT going on with this new BH album! I can’t wait for you all to hear “Mutilated and Assimilated”. DEATH METAL forever!”
The album will be released as a Limited Edition CD+DVD Digipak in North America and in a Special Edition CD+DVD Digipak in Europe, as well as digital & streaming versions available on all the major outlets worldwide.
