WINDSWEPT stream third track of debut album


 

WINDSWEPT is the latest musical brainchild of Roman Sayenko. The DRUDKH mastermind is known to separate ideas that stylistically diverge from his main creative outlet into different projects such as OLD SILVER KEY, PRECAMBRIAN and RATTENFÄNGER among others.

WINDSWEPT remains relatively close to DRUDKH in comparison to other outlets of Sayenko’s inspiration as it stays within the classic expression of Ukrainian black metal. Yet ‘The Great Cold Steppe’ is deliberately kept harsh and raw, which reflects the album’s theme that was inspired by the hostile and fierce Eastern steppes during winter time.

‘The Great Cold Steppe’ was written and recorded in only three days without rehearsals and based on improvisation with instruments and vocals creating the feeling and grit of a live performance.

Better turn on the heating before listening as WINDSWEPT come in hard and merciless like a blizzard from ‘The Great Cold Steppe’.

Please note that WINDSWEPT do not give interviews, will not perform live, and do not provide pictures.

Rome-based metal band Shores Of Null have announced their second album, ‘Black Drapes For Tomorrow’, which will be released via Candlelight / Spinefarm Records on April 14th, 2017.

Following their highly acclaimed debut “Quiescence”, the gloom maestros are back with an album full of wistful-yet-powerful riffs, blackened aggression and epic melancholy-ridden vocals.

Produced by Marco Mastrobuono at Kick Recording Studio (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance), ‘Black Drapes For Tomorrow’ is a profoundly dark outing both musically and lyrically, forging a seamless and overflowing blend of genres into a boiling pot of multi-layered sounds.

Tracklisting:

  1. Tributary Waters
  2. Donau
  3. Tide Against Us
  4. House Of Cries
  5. Black Drapes For Tomorrow
  6. The Enemy Within
  7. Carry On, My Tiny Hope
  8. We Ain’t Ashes
  9. A Thousand Storms
  10.  The Kolyma Route
  11.  Death Of A River

An intense live schedule in support of this release sees them embarking upon a European tour with Harakiri For The Sky and Sylvaine; they are also set to make several Italian appearances opening for Candlemass, with more shows still to be announced.

The album title leaves no room for misinterpretation; Shores Of Null are back with a burden of gloom and darkness.

Latin Metal legends “Ill Niño” Announces “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March


Latin Metal legends “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March
ill_nino_2016
Ill Niño brings the celebrations to the UK this March, marking the 15th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Revolution Revolución’, by playing the classic in its entirety, alongside other fan favourites from the band’s extensive catalogue.
Drummer Dave Chavarri says, “It’s amazing that it’s been 15 Years, since the release of our debut Revolution….Revolución. It’s been a wild ride, with lots of great memories, toured the globe with some amazing bands, that are now our tour family, and we’ve made many friends along the way. I can’t say that it hasn’t been with our share of trying times. But this East Coast Latino Crew, is still here rocking, doing it our way, and not taking anyone’s bulls**t! To many more years of Revolution.”
Reigning from New Jersey/New York, Ill Niño are a force to be reckoned with. ‘Revolution Revolucion’ marked what was the beginning for these founding fathers of Latin Metal. The band continues strong 15 years later and show no signs of letting up as they bring their “15 Years Of Revolution” tour to the UK this March following extensive touring across Europe, U.S., Australia, UK, South America, Japan, and China.
There’s no doubt… Ill Niño have cemented themselves as one of the best, must see live metal bands.
With 1.3 million worldwide albums sales under their belts and still going strong, their breed of metal to the masses resonates with longterm and new fans. Not following the typical flavour of the day musical trends, and sticking to their guns, is what makes Ill Niño one of the most prolific Latin Metal bands of all time.
“15 Years Of Revolution” Ill Niño UK Tour
23rd March Norwich, Waterfront
24th March Manchester, Academy 3
25th March Glasgow, Classic Grand
26th March Bristol, Fleece
28th March London, Islington Academy
29th March Southampton, Talking Heads

Season of Mist Signs “1349”


Season of Mist  announce the signing of 1349. The Norwegian black metal stalwarts have already been signed to this label in the US and now extend the deal to a worldwide representation.

Regarding their signing, 1349 comment: “We are currently in the early creative stages of our new art offering and we are exited to confirm that we have extended our agreement with partners Season of Mist – this time handling the release worldwide.”

unnamed

When 1349 rose from the ashes of ALVHEIM in 1997, the band was driven by a deep desire to keep the black metal flame burning in all its rebellious glory. The Norwegians set out with the declared aim to remain true to the original spirit of their scene, which they saw heading into all the wrong directions.

Conceived around the founding members, which consisted of vocalist and first drummer Ravn, guitarist Tjalve, and Seidemann on bass, 1349 completed their line-up with the addition of guitarist Archaon in 1999 and SATYRICON drum-legend Frost, after the latter recorded a demo and the debut album with the band in 2001.

When their debut ‘Liberation’ was finally unleashed in 2003, 1349 took the world by storm with their intense blend of old school black metal soundscapes and ultra-fast aggression. Further assaults followed in rapid succession. ‘Beyond the Apocalypse’ (2004) and ‘Hellfire’ (2005) cemented the Norwegians’ reputation as one of the strongest acts in the already peaked scene, where they managed to carve out a claim for their own.

Founding member Tjalve decided to focus on his band PANTHEON I and 1349have since continued as a four-piece – occasionally adding renowned guest guitarists. Extensive touring aided the growth of a massive following, which started to seriously reach across the Atlantic, when 1349 opened for reunited metal legends Celtic Frost in North America in 2006.

In an impressive demonstration that dedication to the origins and early principles of black metal does not have to mean nostalgia and stagnation,1349 considerably widened their sonic palette with the next full-length ‘Revelations of the Black Flame’ (2009), which was co-mixed by iconic CELTIC FROST mastermind Tom Gabriel “Warrior” Fischer.

Their newly found darker and more ambient side, was further explored and interwoven with the earlier sonic approach, which 1349 dub “aural hellfire” on the following ‘Demonoir’ (2010). Extensive touring and performances at prestigious festivals around the globe filled the period from 2010 to 2012.

‘Massive Cauldron of Chaos’ (2013) was the next milestone in the Norwegian’s merciless advance, scoring excellent reviews and sparking more festival shows as well as extended touring, which also brought 1349 for the first time to Australia and New Zealand. Now the band is preparing to unleash more “aural hellfire” onto the expecting world via Season of Mist.
