Beneath This Shroud, The Earth Erodes track listing:
1. Descend
2. Nothing
3. Sins of God
4. The Fire
5. Into Nothing
LIVID represents a means to play heavy and destructive music in an attempt exorcise all the anger, depression, and disgust with life and the world. Minneapolis dwellers Cole Benson, Chad Padelford and Tim Leick first got together in 2013 playing instrumental post rock. It wasn’t long after that the three’s influences of Eyehategod and the Melvins, Boris and Tool & Evoken and Mournful Congratulation began to manifest naturally through their music, creating a more sonically cathartic endeavor. LIVID was born after that.
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.
UK Death Metal quartet ABHORRENT DECIMATION debut new video single, ‘CONSPIRE‘. Album pre-order launched.
‘Conspire‘, the debut single taken from the upcoming ABHORRENT DECIMATION album ‘The Pardoner‘, which is due July 28th. A masterclass in dynamic, cutting edge modern death metal. “Bludgeoning, laden with groove and played with a frightening technical precision, the four-piece have, from within a modern sound, captured the vital essence that made death metal such an important genre.” – Metal Hammer UK.
Pre-order also goes live today. ‘The Pardoner’ is available as digi-pak cd, limited edition vinyl (500 only – gold and black marble) and also across all digital platforms.
LOVIATAR (pronounced low-vye-ah-tar), are the latest addition to the Prosthetic Records family. Hailing from Canada, this four-piece borrows equally from the hazy gloom of My Bloody Valentine and the crushing riffs of Isis. With clearly sung vocals and equal parts somber and soaring, their thunderous elements of doom and post-metal contrast with hypnotic moments of atmospheric introspection to set them apart from others in the genre.
Formed in 2010, LOVIATAR have independently released a series of singles and EPs, and have been tapped to support such acts as Red Fang, Skeletonwitch and Blood Ceremony. In 2014, they shifted production to their newly built Wolf Lake Studios deep in the forested hills outside the nation’s capital and began work on their first full length LP. Self-titled and set for a worldwide release date on July 28, 2017, the album features two monolithic tracks available on all digital platforms, digipack CD and a limited edition gold and black swirl LP.
SCHAMMASCH is excited to share their new album, “‘The Maldoror Chants: Hermaphrodite'”, CD / LP will be released worldwide via PROSTHETIC RECORDS on June 9, 2017.
The first in a series of brand new “out-of-album-cycle” releases from Swiss extreme metal vanguards SCHAMMASCH, the album was based entirely on “Les Chants de Maldoror” by Comte de Lautréamont; one of 19th century’s darkest and most fascinating literary works and a major influence upon French Symbolism, Dada and Surrealism.
“Hermaphrodite” encompasses seven interlinking tracks over a 31-minute duration. Listen to a quick teaser of what’s to come in the below video!
