Greek occult black metallers with ritual & 70’s rock influences, ACHERONTAS, release the third single from their upcoming album “Faustian Ethos”, due out on May 18th in Europe and May 25th in North America via Agonia Records. Listen to “The Alchemists Of The Radiant Sepulchre”:
Rotting Christ w/ support of two Georgian bands Psychonaut 4 (depressive suicidal black metal ) & Dismorial (death metal) @ Elektrowerk , Tbilisi, Georgia 12.04.18.
Founding members of the Greek band Rotting Christ brothers Sakis and Themis Tolis were arrested in Eastern European state of Georgia on the charges, involving terrorism. As they claim in the statement spread on their record label Season of Mist’s Facebook page, these charges were allegedly based on the band’s name.
Grammy® Award-winning band Ghosttoday announced their fourth sacred psalm Prequelle (pronounced prē-KWELL) will be released on June 1, 2018 via Spinefarm/Loma Vista Recordings. Prequelle is available for pre-order starting today HERE. Limited edition bundles including 8-Tracks, Casettes and more are available exclusively in the Ghost shop HERE.
Fans have come along for the ride for years, not knowing for certain who was behind the anonymous band… that is, until Tobias Forge recently revealed himself as the man behind Ghost. Each album is more like a film release than a record release. In addition to serving as director, Forge conceives the role of every character, and oversees everything from the screenplay to video to wardrobe design to artwork to cinematography to soundtrack.
In an interesting twist in Ghost’s saga, Cardinal Copia has been appointed to take over vocal duties for the forthcoming psalm. Meet him HERE. Lyrically, Prequelle delves into the plague, the apocalypse, and dark ages. The entire body of work is also a snapshot of the world in which we live in on a daily basis, brought to life through an emotive, enlightening, and riveting body of songs.
“Has elements of Karnivool‘s love of delay pedals, the spastic stylings of The Mars Volta, and maybe a touch of the vocal work you’d heard in 3. So everything good about progressive rock, basically!” — Metal Injection
“An interesting beast that defies easy categorization. Fans of quirky, tight bands with lots of attitude and nuance like Biffy Clyro and Dredg should find a whole lot to like here.” — Metal Sucks
