OccultaVeritas is the one-man-band from Daniele Vergine, known for his work with Noise Trail Immersion.
With the band’s debut LP “The Inner Wail” set to be released tomorrow, March 24th, via Moment Of Collapse Records (Downfall of Gaia, Heaven In Her Arms, Cloud Rat), Occulta Veritas is now streaming two singles in advance which you can listen above!
The music, fully instrumental, presents itself as a combination of Post and Math Metal and is strongly influenced by genres like Black Metal and Hardcore.
The artist’s intention with this album in particular was to create a very intimate and personal record, characterized by a melodramatic feel. For fans of Dysrhythmia, Converge, Capsule, Amia Venera Landscape, Cloudkicker, Gorguts, Altar of Plagues and Ihsahn.
On Friday, March 24, official presale for the concert film “RAMMSTEIN: PARIS” beginsahead of its worldwide release on May 19. The film, which will be released in many configurations, sets new standards. In March 2012, during the “Made in Germany” tour, Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund shot two acclaimed Rammstein concerts at the Palais Omnisports arena in Paris in front of 17,000 spectators. Featuring 22 songs from the band’s entire repertoire, the resulting film is not only the most spectacular collection of imagery about the most successful German rock band of our time, but also a masterpiece of music cinema, capturing Rammstein‘s energy as a unique visual and sonic experience.
Åkerlund is notorious for his radical, pioneering video clips for bands such as The Prodigy, Metallica, the Rolling Stones and also Rammstein. Absurd details, upended perspectives, shocks of contrast and sensory confusion flicker through his music productions, and in “RAMMSTEIN: PARIS”, he celebrates this from the very first minute. Rammstein play 22 songs (128 mins), ranging from “Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?”, the first song from the very first album, to “Frühling in Paris” from the last studio album “Liebe ist für alle da”.
Artistically and dramaturgically ingeniously staged, like an overwhelming video clip, “RAMMSTEIN: PARIS” is one of the best rock concert films of all time. “Absolument“

New Album, Amber Galactic, Available for Pre-Order Beginning Today
Out May 19, 2017 via Nuclear Blast
Swedish classic/progressive rock supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA – featuring members of metal frontrunners Soilwork and Arch Enemy – have released the first single off of their forthcoming third studio album, Amber Galactic.
Comments singer Björn Strid: “‘Midnight Flyer’ might be the ultimate THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA track, and all the emotions that we think a classic rock track should convey are there. When you find yourself on a night flight across the oceans, you’ve just left everything you love behind and once you land you know that nothing will ever be the same. You’ve got nothing left to lose, and you just want to escape reality, no matter the cost. A melancholic over the top party anthem, about the deep personal insights you can only get at 36,000 ft. with a stiff drink in your trembling hands, and the mysterious beauty that you hope will be there waiting for you when you arrive.”
Amber Galactic is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2017 via Nuclear Blast and will be available as limited edition digipak CD featuring an alternate cover art, 2LP vinyl (black and violet sparkle, see below) and as digital download and stream via all known platforms.

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions signed Austin, TX’s crusty death metal destroyers SIGIL for the release of their debut album entitled ‘Kingdom Of The Grave’ to be unleashed onApril 7th on CD and digital formats.
“this is definitely the thrashiest/fastest track on the record and stands apart from the other songs for that reason. Thematically it’s about the destructive nature of radicalized religion, regardless of what that religion is.” comments vocalist / guitarist Alex Citrone.
SIGIL successfully blends classic Swedish death metal with American crust resulting in catchy, crushing chaos. Keeping true to the old school faith, their debut album ‘Kingdom Of The Grave’ is unrelenting in its death metal attack, which also incorporates raw D-beat aggression complimented by slashing solo’s and throat-ripping vocals. For fans of Black Breath, Carnage, Dismember, Entombed, Entrails, Fatalist, Fleshcrawl, Gatecreeper, Grave, His Hero Is Gone, Nihilist and Tragedy
Vocalist / guitarist Alex Citrone comments on the album:
“Kingdom of the Grave” is pure, raw death metal with an explosive energy to it. It has themes of the occult, suicide, police brutality and a dystopian future. Fans of the old and new school will find something to love.”

Toronto, ON’s Adrian Pain & The Dead Sexy unleashed their new EP ‘Mixed Messages’ this past February to continue their solid chemistry of an ‘Allcore’ metal sound with emotionally stirring and socially conscious lyrics. The EP is a marriage of Adrian Pain’s solo endeavours and The Dead Sexy’s band work to follow EPs ‘Picture Day At Night School’ (2014) and their debut ‘The First One Is Free’ (2013) along with Pain’s solo full length ‘Love Letters & Suicide Notes’ (2012).
Pain describes ‘Mixed Messages’:
“This release is like the gateway drug to metal and heavier music in general! We appeal to a very wide range of musical tastes so guys can play us for their girlfriends, and girls can play us for the guys. If you identify another way, you can play us for whomever you’d like. If any negative response comes out of it, it’ll be the fans that expect every song to get heavier with each effort. What I hope they notice is the constant evolution of our sound. The music itself is getting more and more diverse and progressive, while the song structures are also evolving into bigger, more complex arrangements. I want everyone that listens to this record to feel an emotional connection. I want people to relate to, and hear the MESSAGE in each track.”
In support of the new EP, the ‘Allcore’ metal band has teamed with New Noise Mag for the premiere of their new video ‘Day One’.
“The band and I are all fans of ‘play through’ videos. Usually you’d see individual play through videos like bassists, drummers, or guitarists by themselves. I had recently watched a few that Luke Holland & Jason Richardson have done together and thought it would be very cool to do a full band play through. We were originally planning on doing another lyric video for “Day One” but the idea fit nicely with this track because of all the great individual parts. We want our friends and fans out there, who may not always have a chance to catch ‘Adrian Pain & The Dead Sexy’ live, see us play and get a feel for what we do as musicians.” – Adrian Pain
