Now, the band is revealing the cover artwork for "Coal", conceived no other than acclaimed American artist Jeff Jordan, who already took care of the previous album release "Bilateral" and also worked for bands like The Mars Volta.

 

Here is what LEPROUS had to say about the artwork:

BEHEMOTH have been holed up in Hertz studios working on their tenth full-length album. As the band continues to record, they have been posting images and what appear to be lyrics for portions of new songs.

 

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of a brand new – all original – studio album JORN “Traveller” on June 11th in North America and June 14th in Europe.

 

Considered one of the greatest legends in rock, and by many as the best male rock singer of the millennium, Jorn Lande never seems to stop producing music, and is back with yet another slab of classic 1st division heavy rock. The brand new album “Traveller” is definitely a suitable title to fit this gifted and creative viking’s extreme productivity. 

 

With a statement on the official website, the Italian heavy/power metallers Overtures published the artwork and many news concerning the new upcoming album “Entering the Maze”.

 

"At first, the album will be released on May 31st by Greek label Sleaszy Rider. SR already released our previous album "Rebirth" and thanks to the wonderful relationship between the band and the label, the collaboration between the two parts is very solid".

 

This is a statement about it from lead vocalist Michele Guaitoli:

The Pineapple Thief frontman, Bruce Soord and Jonas Renkse from Katatonia have announced a June 4, 2013 release date for “Wisdom of Crowds”, their new project, set to drop this spring on Kscope.

 

Originally written with Renkse’s voice in mind, Soord sought out the acclaimed Katatonia vocalist to complete the compositions and release the music to the masses. Despite the rigorous schedules of The Pineapple Thief and Katatonia, the two musicians were eventually able to connect and the rest is rock n’ roll history.

 

Pulverised Records is extremely proud to announce the profane communion of ORATOR, the Death/Thrash act hailing from the cremation grounds of Bangladesh!

 

Formed in 2008, ORATOR has so far released one 7" EP, a live demo tape and followed by the group's first full-length album. After the debut full-length “Kapalgnosis” recently got released in 2013 under Armée De La Mort Records, the band has decided to make haste and work on their second full-length effort.

 

“Civilization Under Threat” from Bay Area Thrash Metallers Potential Threat SF will be released June 18th through Old School Metal Records.

 

The album gives a nod to the old school by combining aggressive, commanding vocals with dual guitars and a thundering bottom end.

 

Engineered and mastered by Juan Urteaga (Machine Head, Testament, Heathen) at Trident Studios has given the album a massively heavy quality without being over-produced. Thrash ’til Death!
