The release date of the new album “Mystericum” by the Bavarian Band DA BOANAD on CD is June 2nd, 2017.
Everybody knows what Bavaria looks like. But how does it sound like these days? Only Da Boanad: Just heavy guitars and lots of them, strong grooves and a characteristic voice that reflects in rock and bavarian culture. Da Boanad is bavarian like the mighty alps. Da Boanad is harsh, powerful and no time ever conform. The new bavarian hardness at it’s best!
„Mystericum“ is an album loaded with pure and energetic heavy rock nurishing from all of what the guys in the band like themselves. For just that reason there is non of the oh so typical neo bavarian raggae summer chill to be heared, just the rough styled rock´n´roll that unites this band. Riffs like „des hosd davo“ or „Finster werds“ proove it.
The lyrics are authentic, but bavarian hardcore. Other bands that have jumped on the bavarian waggon like it easy going. Da Boanad just rocks full on. The bavarian message is rough and dramatically anarchistic.
No compromises to be made. The tunes are strong, straight, dark and epically melancholic. Such as „Scheinheilig“ the power Ballad on this album. Da Boanad likes to tell stories that bavarians equal with their picture of freedom, such as in „Misericordia“, the tragic tale of Matthias Kneissl, a criminal and though a hero.
Da Boanad is authentic like a storm over the alps, does like to point a finger at a topic, but all of that dressed in full-on rock. The new bavarian hardness at it’s best!
Not Right – Not left – Not German : Da Boanad!

According to Corren.se (via Blabbermouth) , GHOST frontman Papa Emeritus (Tobias Forge) is reportedly being sued by his four former members of the band who are accusing him of cheating them out of their rightful share of the profits from the group’s album (2011 – 2016) releases and world tours.
The former members of GHOST are asking the court to order Forge to disclose the company’s revenues and expenses for the financial years 2011 to 2016 as well as to reveal the company’s assets as of December 31, 2016. If Forge fails to act as ordered, they are asking the court to force Forge to pay a penalty of SEK 200,000 , or an amount that the court considers reasonable.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the district court of Linköping, Sweden, where GHOST was originally based, claims that Forge solely controlled the band’s business affairs without input from anyone else in the group. The four musicians furthermore state that a partnership agreement existed between them and Forge which put Tobias in charge of carrying out the company’s management duties.
The former GHOST members are asking the court to order Forge to disclose the company’s revenues and expenses for the financial years 2011 to 2016 as well as to reveal the company’s assets as of December 31, 2016. If he fails to act as ordered, they are asking the court to force Forge to pay a penalty of SEK 200,000 (approximately $22,000), or an amount that the court considers reasonable.
According to the lawsuit, GHOST was formed in 2010 and Forge, through his company, has been collecting all revenues from the sale of the band’s merchandise and music recordings. The GHOST leader did not at any time provide the other musicians with the company’s financial statements, the lawsuit claims, and has instead insisted that the company was not yet profitable.
In 2012, GHOST‘s economic situation became particularly dire when the bandmembers did not receive any compensation. Under pressure, Forge paid sporadic amounts out to the other musicians while continuing to claim that the company’s bank accounts were empty.
During 2016, the GHOST bandmembers received two separate contract proposals from Forge that they rejected on the grounds that they saw them as “slave agreements,” the lawsuit says. Meanwhile, relations between Forge and the other musicians became increasingly chilly, with guitarist Martin Persner — who is not one of the four people behind the lawsuit — quitting the band in July 2016.
On December 20, Forge, through his lawyer, contested the four musicians’ claim that GHOST was a partnership.
Asked by Corren.se for his reaction to the lawsuit, Forge said: “I can’t comment on it because it is a legal process. The lawsuit will be answered fairly soon by my legal counsel.”

ZIFIR have existed for more than a decade in the far confines of the underground, releasing two full-lengths and one split album with Cult Of Erinyes. Now, with their third album ready to be unleashed via Duplicate Records, the turkish two-piece have crafted a unique piece of darkness.
Skillfully blending eastern and scandinavian influences into their very own sound, ZIFIR evoke haunting imagery within the listeners mind. Having carefully honed their craftmanship over the years, they have effortlessly created an album that is diverse without losing its sense of direction.
The occasional sacral chanting adds a unique flavour whilst the organic production lends the album a timeless quality.
As opposed to the standard «hail Satan» perspective, lyrically “Kingdom Of Nothingness” is a condemnation of all manmade religion, seen from a turkish view. Several songs, like album highlight “769”, deal with actual events, or rather horrors that took place in the name of religion.
With “Kingdom Of Nothingness”, ZIFIR deliver one of the truly stand-out black metal releases of 2017. The beast has awoken.
