BROKEN HOPE unleash “The Carrion Eaters” music video (NSFW)


BROKEN HOPE unleash “The Carrion Eaters” music video

Straight from the butchers block, glut yourself on the official music video for brand new BROKEN HOPE banger “The Carrion Eaters.”

Warning: this video is NOT for the faint of heart (or light of stomach).

“The Carrion Eaters” is the second single off “Mutilated and Assimilated”. The video, directed by Maciej Pieloch executes sumptuous gluttony digested in savage death metal as it reveals the twisted feeding rituals of cadaver craving subhumans.

Like groups of loathsome vultures and hyenas,
They sniff out death’s most mephitic perfumes
-The Carrion Eaters

“I’m really proud of ‘The Carrion Eaters.’ It’s super-sick and catchy and rotten to the gore!” shares guitarist Jeremy Wagner. Recently, BROKEN HOPE launched a webisode series discussing even more details on the making of their forthcoming album. Episode #1 is up now at: https://youtu.be/NHekZET_PtE

MOTOROWL – release live video for “Beloved Whale”!


Psychedelic doom rockers, MOTOROWL, just released a video for an alternative version of their song “Beloved Whale” from their latest album “Om Generator”! This version was recorded live at Violet Flame Studio in Gera, Germany.

The band comments: “The ‘Beloved Whale’ session was a big deal for us. We wanted to capture the energy of playing together because this is the only thing that we actually can do. So we borrowed some real nice equipment from friends and went into the Violet Flame Studio for 2 days to record a special version of this song on tape. We only had a few takes, so we focused on ourselves and filmed every single take we did. Every version was slightly different and we chose the most natural one.

Nerds only: we used a Marshall JMP from 1977, Marshall JCM 800 replica, Fender Bassman Replica, Pearl Vorg 101, a 70s Orange cab, an old Gretsch drum set (26 inch bassdrum!), a Hammond Portable Organ with Leslie and a Roland RE301 Tape Echo for the e-piano. Recorded on a .Tascam tape recorder with a bunch of vintage Neumann microphones.”

MOTOROWL just recently announced they will be supporting DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER on their upcoming tour throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland in October/November 2017!

DECREPIT BIRTH to release new album “Axis Mundi” in July; listen to first single “Epigenetic Triplicity” (360 VR lyric video)


 

Hailing from California, U.S., the esoteric techincal death metallers DECREPIT BIRTH are set to release their first new album in seven years, “Axis Mundi”, on July 21st via Agonia Records (Europe / ROW) and Nuclear Blast Records (North America). “Epigenic Triplicity” is the first single to be revealed from the record. Listen to the the track in the form of a 360 VR lyric video at this link:

Formed in 2001, DECREPIT BIRTH released three studio album’s to date, which got them a premiere spot on the death metal radar. Their music, infused with technical and progressive twists, managed to forge a very solid international fan base, and continues to forge their path into the future, as one of the genre’s finest bands. Awakening from a seven-year slumber, the Californians fourth offering is entwined with musical athleticism and characteristic esoteric themes. “Axis Mundi” is as crushing as it is cosmic.
“We’ve gone through an evolution throughout the years” says founding member and primary songwriter Matt Sotelo. “The last couple of albums we had, Diminishing Between Worlds and Polarity, were more progressive death metal. They were different from …And Time Begins, which is a different genre of death metal. It’s more brutal. I’m the type of guy who likes to experiment. …And Time Begins has no solos. It’s all really fast palm-muted riffs. The other albums breathed more with the guitars. I let chords ring out on Diminishing Between Worlds and Polarity. Axis Mundi is combination of all the stuff I’m into. I like it a lot right now. It’s more melodic. The riffs repeat intentionally. I want to have fun with these songs”.

With remarkable songs, an exceptional production, and high concept lyrics, DECREPIT BIRTH will re-shape death metal on “Axis Mundi”. They’re blasting the doors of convention wide open, paving the way for future generations to explore beyond death metal’s four proverbial corners. Much like the band’s influences from the early ‘90s, DECREPIT BIRTH have different optics on the genre and what has meant and continues to mean. Of course, Sotelo sees “Axis Mundi” from an entirely pragmatic viewpoint:

“I don’t know if we’re going to re-shape death metal” he counters. “We’re just a band. We’re doing this. We’re fans of the genre. We do our own thing with it. It’s our own paint job. What sounds cool to us. We don’t aspire to be the most technical band out there. The technicality isn’t our main goal. Technicality is part of what we are. When we were writing this album, we wanted the songs that had riffs that repeat. There’s more structure with our new stuff. We’re trying to write good music. We want to entertain people out there. Hopefully, everybody likes Axis Mundi”.
