Extreme Death Metal Group ABHORRENT DECIMATION Debut New Track, “Granted Indulgence”


Extreme Death Metal Group ABHORRENT DECIMATION Debut New Track, “Granted Indulgence”
Pre-Order New Album, The PardonerHere
Out July 28, 2017 via Prosthetic Records

UK-based extreme death metal group ABHORRENT DECIMATION will release their upcoming dynamic, cutting edge modern death metal album, The Pardoner, on July 28, 2017 via Prosthetic Records. Pre-orders are available now via http://smarturl.it/AbhorrentDecimation.
Following up to the release of the music video for “Conspire“, ABHORRENT DECIMATION just dropped their new track, “Granted Indulgence” via lyric video. Watch here: https://youtu.be/6RtgDjieTGc
Conceptually, the new album is an in-depth exploration into “The Pardoner“, English poet Geoffrey Chaucer’s most depraved and deceitful character from The Canterbury Tales. “The Pardoner” is a religious fraud and hypocrite who preaches against the love of greed, yet whose own love of wealth enabled him to profit off the sins of others. He claimed to work on behalf of the clergy, selling spiritual forgiveness for one’s sins in the form of his pardons, which included forged “official letters” from high ranking church officials absolving one of their sins and bones and crystals blessed with healing powers. In Chaucer’s story, “The Pardoner” tells a harrowing tale of three men whose materialism becomes the death of them.
Vocalist Ashley Scott commented about the new track: “We are really pleased with how this one came out. “Granted Indulgence” is such a pivotal point in the story too, so it was really important to us that it stood out. In the story, “Granted Indulgence” is the point at which our three men take to the woods in search of “Death”. A right horrible git, who has taken the lives of men, women and children in their village. Instead of finding “Death” in the deep dark woods, they find a sea of treasure. It is at this point, the three men, so overwhelmed at this life changing find, they begin to conspire against one another.” 
The Pardoner was recorded, mixed and mastered by bassist David Archer at Audio Empire. The intricate artwork for The Pardoner was created by German illustrator Karmazid, based on a visual concept by Vocalist Ashley Scott.

The Great Old Ones release drum play-through video for “When the Stars Align”


THE GREAT OLD ONES have released a play-through video featuring drummer Léo Isnard for the track “When the Stars Align” via Sick Dummer Magazine, which provides more details and can be viewed at the link below.

http://sickdrummermagazine.com/news/latest-news/leo-isnard-great-old-ones-stars-align-drum-play

Léo Isnard comments: “Not counting the interludes, this is the shortest track of our new album. For me, it represents a perfect synthesis of all that I like to play in this band: doom parts, blast beats, and some space to add a more personal touch. And of course, nothing is better than those fast blast beats before the end of this song!”

The French cultists have previously painted the glorious horrors and eldritch pleasures contained on their new full-length ‘EOD – A Tale Of Dark Legacy’ into the murky shape of a lyric video directed and produced by Hugo Aribart based on the artwork of Jeff Grimal. This clip for “When the Stars Align” can be viewed at the link below.

THE GREAT OLD ONES comment: “We are proud to present our new lyric video for the song ‘When the Stars Align’. The clip is based on the amazing artwork of Jeff Grimal and represents a faithful celebration of Lovecraft’s entities, ancient and unspeakable, who will one day return to the place which they have left. Come and see us live on a journey to the other side of the mirror. Join us in veneration of the true masters of the universe.”

SATYRICON – Unveil First Details Aabout Brand New Album ‘Deep calleth upon Deep’!


Nearly three years in the making, SATYRICON have announced that ‘Deep calleth upon Deep’, their highly anticipated ninth studio album, is set for release on 22nd September via Napalm Records.

Recorded in Oslo, Norway and Vancouver, Canada, during early 2017 and mixed together with revered studio guru Mike Fraser (who previously worked on SATYRICON’s 2006 album, ‘Now, Diabolical’), ‘Deep calleth upon Deep’ is not just a new collection of songs from one of extreme music’s most enduring and reliable bands: this is a wholesale reinvention and a brand new era in SATYRICON history.

Frontman and visionary, Satyr informs us “Approaching this release, what I always kept in mind is that either this is the beginning of something new or it’s gonna be my last record.  If this is going to be the last, then it needs to be something special.  If there are more records, then I’d better make sure that this is so different from the last one that it feels like a new beginning.  I think it’s really, really dark, very spiritual and filled with confidence and energy.”

‘Deep calleth upon Deep’ is a profound statement about the essence of SATYRICON’s music and the eternal value of art itself.  Satyr continues, “The way that I see it is that for any art, be it SATYRICON or any other form of art with substance, in order for you to be able to inhale and completely understand it, it will take a little bit of you as well.  If you get it all after a couple of listens, you know that it probably won’t stay with you.  So the title is saying, ‘From the depth of the people making this record to the depth of the listener…’  If you want to take part in this journey, you should be prepared to dig deep down in the darkest corner of your soul with us.”

SATYRICON is also proud to share the album’s front cover – an obscure drawing from 1898 by perhaps the greatest Norwegian artist of all time, Edvard Munch.

The Casualties announce departure of Jorge Herrera and new shows in Europe


THE CASUALTIES have announced the departure of frontman Jorge Herrera due to growing tired of the strains of life on the road. The band will fulfill all previously announced dates including the European festival tour in August.

As anyone who follows us knows, the name THE CASUALTIES is stronger then any one member. The songs written in basements throughout New York City shall continue to ring loud. We will continue our commitment to the Casualties Army! We will tour and put forward new anthems for many more years to come. When we said ‘it’s a f*cking way of life’ back in the beginning, we meant it.”
