brutal extreme metal

Montreal, QC’s brutal melodic death five-piece [Evertrapped] is revealing the artwork and track listing for their fourth studio album “The Last Extinction” set for release on May 22nd, 2020.

The album marks the band’s return to follow up their highly praised 2015 album “Under The Deep” and showcases their darkest, almost apocalyptic overtone compared to previous releases. 

Feel the wrath of California heavyweights Xibalba, showing no mercy and keeping their cultural message intact with their fourth full-length “Años en Infierno”. Confirming the album for release late this May through Southern Lord, the cover art, track listing, and a brief trailer for the record have been issued.

Devangelic are back with their third full-length album “Ersetu”.

Named after the Akkadian term for “Mesopotamian Underworld / Realm of the Dead”, “Ersetu” is a concept album based on the Annunaki’s myth “Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came”.

The myth explores the theory of creation through the alien DNA, human slavery and the legend of the great serpent (the Knower) as the emblem of Enki and of two of his sons, Ningishzidda and Marduk.
 

Every so often, a band comes along that generates praise and attention for all the right reasons, and not always due to having a label or heavy marketing power behind them. Wisconsin-based dissonant technical death metal outfit Ara has already achieved that with their completely independently released 2012 EP, “The Blessed Sleep”, and 2014 debut album, “Devourer of Worlds”.
