The new Nocte Obducta album “Totholz (Ein Raunen aus dem Klammwald)”, which already available on the band’s live shows, will be officially released on May 26th. The successor to last year’s “Mogontiacum (Nachdem die Nacht herabgesunken …)” features 7 songs with a playing time of 42 minutes and will be available on a limited vinyl edition.
“Totholz (Ein Raunen aus dem Klammwald)” sets itself as a logic continuation from the work done on the band’s previous effort, “Mogontiacum”. Here, Nocte Obducta close the circle to their musical roots and deliver a rough piece of metal with the band’s typic harmonies. Above you can find the atmosperic cover art in anticipation of the album.
SATURNAL RECORDS sets an international release date for the black industrial metal act KING SATAN’s debut album titled ”King Fucking Satan” for 26th May 2017 and also releases a music video single of one song found from the album titled “Satanized (Praise Hail Satan!)”
In a world of established scene rules and tightly pre-determined genre boundaries, a black industrial metal freaks of KING SATAN serves fresh angle with their obscene brand of extreme music. The band thrives to combine into its industrial and electro based metal music quite strong influences of extreme metal, mainly black and death metal together with dark electro, EBM, aggrotech and even hard rock! This all wrapped up into a bizarre mixture of lyrical themes found within occult philosophy, psychological mindfuck and even sociological satire hand in hand with renegade rock’n’roll spirit that surely bows to nothing and no one!
The band run by vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer KING ALEISTER SATAN (a.k.a. FRA. ZETEKH) known before also as a front figure of occult black metal band SATURNIAN MIST founded KING SATAN in 2015 first as a solo project but due to the live shows the band has has now grown into a complete line-up. With a demo and three singles – ”Enter Black Fire”, ”Psygnosis” and ”Satanized (Praise Hail Satan!)” – together with powerful live performances, KING SATAN managed to get both, quite prestigious gigs (supporting acts such as PAIN, PERTURBATOR, CARPENTER BRUT, VELVET ACID CHRIST, TURMION KÄTILÖT to name a few) and as well as a name in their native Finland and even abroad, all this before any album release!
Even being electro/industrial adjoined act, ”King Fucking Satan” album was recored and produced primarily analog in the chambers of KING ALEISTER’s own BLACKVOX STUDIO where he had produced not only his own bands before, but such acts as BARATHRUM, HORNA, TELOCH and SACRIFICIUM CARMEN also – which states the bands deep roots in the rugged sound of black metal underground even transcending from there towards the whole another type of artistic approaching and genre-defying creativity with reminds more a twisted amalgam where bands like THE PRODIGY, SKINNY PUPPY, G.G. ALLIN, DEICIDE and MAYHEM would meet in a chaotically integral musical output that still sounds original as HELL (sic)!
”King Fucking Satan” will be out 26th May 2017 world wide.

The US progressive power metal band MINDMAZE just released a music video for “Sign of Life”, the first single from their new album “Resolve”. The album will be released on April 28th in Europe and North America through Inner Wound Recordings.
Over the span of 68 minutes of melodic and powerful music ripe with recurring themes, the band takes the listener on a whirlwind journey through the scope of human emotion in hopes they will be able to project their own experiences into these intensely personal lyrics inspired by an amalgam of real-life events.
Resolve reprises the band’s ever-present influences from bands like Queensryche, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Savatage, and a mixture of contemporary power metal and melodic rock hooks and songwriting while moving the band further into progressive and theatrical territory with more atypical song structures used to best serve the concept of the album.
The band continues to forge their footprint as one of the most promising and unique female-fronted bands to come along in recent times.

After the lyric video for “Bloodlines”, melodic death metallers Across The Burning Sky, who have committed themselves to the Gothenburg style, are releasing a brand new lyric video for the track “Sacrifice”, a song taken off the band’s current album “The End Is Near”. The video, which was premiered in cooperation with Metal Hammer Italia, is a combination of lyric video and religious motifs and rituals, which, in the context of the lyrics as criticism of religion denies the existence of a god and accuses his worship practices.
“Sacrifice” is once again a fast and ferocious ode to the early melodic death metal of the nineties and will also be on the forthcoming fourth part of the “Hymns Of The Underground” compilation series.
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.
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Gunpowder Gray deal a concentrated dose of rock and roll that is as potent as it gets.
“Premonition”, the band’s second offering boasts a stripped down, tough-as-nails, four-piece that has truly found its stride. Massive guitar riffs harken back to an era when Marshall full-stacks were cranked up high and loudness was revered. Razor sharp hooks incite sing-along choruses within songs that are equal parts punk in aggression and heavy metal in sheer power. Short and to the point, you will want to leave “Premonition” on repeat. This release is issued on cassette, limited to 200, with 100 casings in black and 100 in white. For fans of Motörhead, Danzig, and Thin Lizzy.
