death
Eye of Solitude is an atmospheric doom-death metal band that’s coming from London, UK. “Sui Caedere” is the sophomore release of the band which embellishes its doom-death metal with atmospheric, gothic, symphonic, funeral, dark, melancholic, sorrow, acoustic & melodic elements. The vocals are deep death growls… that even though they fit this kind of music, I believe that they are in need of being blended with some beautiful clean ones just to break the monotony of the death roars.
Norwegian progressive extreme metal band ENSLAVED have named their twelfth studio album "RIITIIR" and have unveiled the album artwork on their official Facebook page. "RIITIIR" is due out in Europe on September 28th.
From the woods in Sweden, ENSLAVED guitarist/songwriter/founding member Ivar Bjørnson shares the following:
Cryptopsy would like to announce that the pre-sales for their new album entitled CRYPTOPSY will begin on Friday July 13th; and will only be available via their new website www.Cryptopsy.ca (which goes live on Friday). As special thanks to you, the pre-sale participants, the band has decided to give some digital goodies. First, on August 14th, one month before the digital release and official street date, you will receive two songs from the new album CRYPTOPSY. Then on September 11th, you will receive the "Making of CRYPTOPSY" (a 30 minute documentary) alongside your completed album.
Kaotoxin Records is pleased to announce the sophomore release from UK Symphonic Funeral Doom juggernaut EYE OF SOLITUDE. The product of mastermind Daniel Neagoe (also of Unfathomable Ruination, Colossus, and The Departure), "Sui Caedere" is an inventive 72-minute blend of Death Metal, Doom, Funeral Doom, Gothic Metal, Symphonic and Ambient metal. It's also unlike anything you've ever heard!
A music video for album track "Suffocating Silence" will be unleashed in August.
INTO ETERNITY has returned! Revamped and stronger than ever, the Saskatchewan-based Canadian extreme progressive metallers will embark on a Canadian Headlining Tour on July 20th at Vern's Tavern in Calgary, AB. Following the tour's wrap-up in Brandon, MB on August 7th, the critically acclaimed act head right back on the road for The North American Devastation Tour with SINGLE BULLET THEORY and RIKSHA, which begins August 9th at the Blue Pig in Cudahy, WI. All tour dates are listed below.
Guitarist Justin Bender had this to say about the band's return to the stage:
Undoubtedly, the Russian music scene & market is huge. The bands were left underground and far beyond the other groups of Europe… but it seems that the time to claim equal treatment as their colleagues in Europe and the US has finally come. Russia is a big music place, just like US, and it can, surely, give worth listening music.
Saturnian will release their new album “Dimensions” the 24th of August produced by non other than the legendary Russ Russell (Dimmu Borgir, Napalm Death, Evile).
“Dimensions”, although not strictly a concept album, does have a recurring theme, and the individual concepts within each song come together under one banner.
“Dimensions” is the transformation and ‘becoming’ of a human being, the discovery of power and vision within oneself, known only to a chosen few.
The entire Napalm Records crew is honored to announce that American groove metal powerhouse DEVILDRIVER has joined their ranks.
The legendary Los Angeles metal outfit, who has released a string of hard hitting and ass kicking albums since the early 2000s, signed a worldwide record deal with the Austrian label. After 10 years of forging high class metal songs and endless touring all over the world, the band revolving around charismatic and legendary frontman Dez Fafara is more alive than ever and Napalm Records is proud that the band and label will work on another chapter in that illustrious and successful career.
