Born out the hell storm of Edmonton, AB, black and doom metal festival Black Mourning Light presented by Crown of Viserys and GigFly.ca returns for its third installment.

Revenge and Blasphemy are two of the biggest names in black metal and with them are some of the best bands in the world to create an absolutely killer lineup. This is a year to not be missed, that’s for sure.”

About BML:

Black Mourning Light Metal Festival is the black metal and doom festival founded by Dustin Ekman of Crown of Viserys. Created to fill a void in Edmonton’s black and doom scene. After two successful years in 2015 and 2016, Black Mourning Light Festival returns for a 2017 edition. The 2017 onslaught will feature bands from across Canada and USA. Those that attended the 2015 inaugural ritual and the 2016 two day mayhem will not be disappointed by 2017, as they can expect a different while similar experience to those events.

Last year’s 2016 edition featured a line up of black, death and doom bands from across Canada plus the USA with UADA, Panzerfaust, Erimha, Helleborus, Idolatry, Display of Decay, Vile Insignia, Hive, Wormwitch, Norilsk, Cell, Holocaust Lord, Nachtterror, Dethgod, Ye Goat-Herd Gods and Hunted By Ravens.

SECOND TO SUN release cover from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt soundtrack


Russian post-black metallers SECOND TO SUN have released a cover version of “The Wolven Storm (Priscilla’s Song)”, a track featured on the videogame “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”.

The band comments: “A’right, lads and lasses, we are overjoyed to give ye our cover version of the Wolven Storm (Priscilla’s Song) from Witcher 3!”

“This cover is pretty consistent with the sound of our “Blackbound” [2016] album. Unlike the majority of the covers of this song, where most of the attention is targeting Priscilla, lyrics and visuals, we have concentrated on the musical aspect and have attempted to create a dark and impressive soundtrack to the final game credits. I hope we’ve succeeded!”

Beneath This Shroud, The Earth Erodes track listing:
1. Descend
2. Nothing
3. Sins of God
4. The Fire
5. Into Nothing
LIVID represents a means to play heavy and destructive music in an attempt exorcise all the anger, depression, and disgust with life and the world. Minneapolis dwellers Cole Benson, Chad Padelford and Tim Leick first got together in 2013 playing instrumental post rock. It wasn’t long after that the three’s influences of Eyehategod and the MelvinsBoris and Tool & Evoken and Mournful Congratulation began to manifest naturally through their music, creating a more sonically cathartic endeavor. LIVID was born after that.
LIVID TOUR DATES
7/26 Reverie Cafe, Minneapolis, MN (w/ Aziza)
LIVID Online:
LIVID is:
Cole Benson – Guitar/Vox
Tim Leick – Drums
Chad Padelford – Bass
Swen – Guitar

ESKIMO CALLBOY – release “MC Thunder” video taken from the album “The Scene”


For their new video for the song “MC Thunder” ESKIMO CALLBOY have a very special guest: They went on a little cruise though LA with Hand Of Blood:

You can still check out “The Scene feat. Fronz” under the following link: https://youtu.be/mVTxyZNV2IM
The video was directed and produced by the band themselves and isn’t just featuring a whole marching band, but also Chris ‘Fronz’ Fronzak from Attila.

Both songs are taken from the upcoming album, “The Scene”. Recorded and mixed at ESKIMO CALLBOY’s home studio, “The Scene” was then shipped off to Pitchback Studios for mastering with Aljoscha Sieg (Nasty, Any Given Day, We Butter The Bread With Butter…). Like most bands of the modern era, ESKIMO CALLBOY opted to record and mix their own music instead of hiring on a named producer. Their reasoning is simple: nobody is more passionate about music as the members of the band.
