Belarus Symphonic Metal discovery Belle Morte have signed a deal for the release of their debut full-length album “Crime of Passion” via Wormholedeath.

Band statement:

Incendium and Heavy Metal Entertainment announce the launch of “Maledictus Athenaeum”, a Cradle Of Filth comic book anthology series, under all-new music focused OPUS imprint.
 

Poisonous dark metallers Cradle Of Filth reveal the title of their forthcoming studio album as “Existence is Futile”. Their monumental new opus - their 13th (unlucky for all) studio album to date - was recorded at Grindstone Studios with producer Scott Atkins.

The record will be embellished with artwork from Arthur Berzinsh, who is also guilty of creating the past two album artworks in the Cradle arsenal. Further nihilistic details from the crypt will soon see the light of day.

Malacoda announces the April 2nd, 2021, release for their next EP, “Crawling Chaos”, independently. The first single “Crawling Chaos” will hit all streaming services on February 5th, 2021.

“Crawling Chaos” is the band’s first new release since 2018’s “Restless Dreams” and is a return to the band’s more cinematic and gothic roots as heard on “Ritual is Aeterna” (2016), as well as a deeper exploration of melodic vocal hooks as heard on their self-titled debut (2014).

Draconian have rescheduled their 2021 European tour with Nightfall to March 2022.

Comments the band:
“Unsurprisingly due to the pandemic situation, we’re forced to reschedule the European tour from 2021 to 2022. There were a few changes but most of the cities and venues are maintained. All tickets bought for the 2021 tour will remain valid for the new dates in 2022. We hope to see all of you on tour. Finally”.

Rockshots Records and Infernalizer are proud to share the details of the band’s debut album, coming out worldwide on February 26th, 2021. 

The upcoming Epic Apocalypse Tour featuring Dutch Symphonic titans Epica and Finnish cello masters Apocalyptica, with support from prog metallers Wheel, has been postponed to the beginning of 2022 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The tour will kick off on 6th January 2022 in Leipzig and the bands will perform all over Europe, including a five date run in the UK.

This summer, the goth‘n’roll vampires The 69 Eyes thrilled their fans with a stunning live stream celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Finnish legends - straight outta Helsinki. Due to the high demand, the show returns for one month on demand. Tickets for The 69 Eyes’ Worldwide Live Stream Revisited are NOW on sale and can be purchased here.
