“We Owe You Nothing”, the ninth studio album from Italian black/doom metal overlords FORGOTTEN TOMB, is set to be released on October 27th in Europeand November 10th in North America via Agonia Records. The album’s title track & first single is available in the form of a lyric video, at this link:
“We Owe You Nothing” marks the highest point in the band’s constant evolution and once more makes it hard to narrow down its sound to some pre-existing labels. Effortlessly blending the eerie, dissonant black metal sound the band is well-known for with muscular sludge/doom riffs and a subtle, nihilistic punk attitude,“We Owe You Nothing” defines the band’s personality more than ever, reaffirming its unique sound.
New Album, Of Adoration, out October 6, 2017 via Prosthetic Records
Chicago-based post-instrumental group ZAIUS will release their debut LP, Of Adoration, via Prosthetic Records on October 6, 2017. Shortly after dropping their first new track, “Phaneron”, two weeks ago, ZAIUS are back with a second new track – the ethereal, dynamic “Sheepdog”.Take a listen now, exclusively via Heavy Blog Is Heavy: http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2017/09/07/exclusive-premiere-let-zaius-sheepdog/
Guitarist Ian McConnell says, “‘Sheepdog’ was a random working title that wouldn’t go away for whatever reason, so we stuck with it. In retrospect, it’s meaning, “a protector”, has a lot to do with the vibe of the song and record as a whole so maybe it was a subconscious thing all along.”
COMPLETE FAILURE are unveiling the first crushing track taken from their forthcoming album, ‘Crossburner’, which has been scheduled for release on October 27th.
The song “I Am The Gun” is exclusively streaming via Lambgoat (US) at the link below.
Warner Music Canada recording artists Courage My Love have premiered a new video for ‘Animal Heart’ with Rock Sound. The track is taken from their debut album Synesthesiawhich is out now.
Singer Mercedes says “For this video we were very inspired by 70s and 80s style horror movies, VHS, glitches, and pushing the boundaries of the contrast between beauty and the unsettling. We wanted to flip the script of the hunter and the hunted. We wanted to embody the feeling of animalistic, monstrous lust and explore the dark side of love. The lyrics of Animal Heart are about a love so passionate, that it causes you to regress into a jealous, obsessive version of yourself. The video concept is a creature that takes the form of a beautiful woman to seduce and trap her prey. We filmed this video in Paris, France while on tour with the help and vision of one of our new favourite artists: Polygon1993. We hope you enjoy!” Continue reading COURAGE MY LOVE – Premiere New Video ‘ANIMAL HEART’→
Debut Full-Length Album, Animus, Out Now via Prosthetic Records
Coming off their Metal Hammer/Golden Gods “Best New Band” award, UK death metal outfit VENOM PRISON premiered their new video, “Perpetrator Emasculation”, with Decibel Magazine.
The track is taken from their critically acclaimed debut full length, Animus, out now. The video was shot at a house show by Ashlea Bea Photography in the band’s hometown. VENOM PRISON frontwoman, Larissa, described the need for house shows, explaining they are a vital part in the music community:
“VENOM PRISON grew from a grass roots hardcore scene, and have no intention of forgetting where we have come from. VP recently decided to do a home town show at a secret location and as you can see, it was intense. Living in a time where music venues close down or just aren’t affordable for underground promoters and bands, supporting your local scene is very important as it helps expanding musical boundaries and help to evolve the bands involved in it. Hopefully this footage from “Perpetrator Emasculation” spreads word that shows like this are going on all over the world in DIY spaces.”
As one of the most talked about bands in the UK, in addition to winning the Golden God award, VENOM PRISON has been declared “your new favorite band” by British mainstay metal mag, Kerrang! and recently was given the prestigious 5K rating for their incendiary live performance at this year’s Download festival.
Larissa comments on their tumultuous year: “This year has been relentless for us so far. VENOM PRISON have had all sorts happening recently including Download Festival and winning Best Newcomer award at the Golden Gods. It reflects everything that goes into making this happen because this band genuinely works continuously.”
The band has spent the last year touring in support of Animus, having played with Gorguts, Darkest Hour, Suicide Silence, Aversions Crown and many more. Filled to the brim with “pummeling riffs and a vicious vocal delivery” (Decibel), Animus is 10 tracks of venomous brutality that tackle subjects as social Darwinism, misogyny, rape culture and the rejection of God and religion.
American/Canadian Symphonic power metal group INSATIA has released the Official Music Video for “Memory of a Sapphire,” featuring former Arch Enemy guitarist Chris Amott, off of their sophomore album, Phoenix Aflame, due out June 23, 2017 via Pitch Black Records. Originally premiered on Metal Insider, “We Are The Grey” and Phoenix Aflame are available to pre-order HERE now.
“Memory of a Sapphire quickly became a favorite for us in the studio- it’s poppy and melody-oriented, which makes it a lot of fun to play live. Spotlighting Mr. Chris Amott’s guitar artistry on it adds a whole new level of zing, and as it really represents our sound most completely, it all seemed very natural to make it the first music video for the album.” – Zoë Federoff (vocals)
