Markus Spittka Wins band Of The Month January 2021! - @thebeast

Markus Spittka Wins band Of The Month January 2021! Totally annihilating the polls with a total of 58,064 votes! Markus Spittka is a Musician and multi-instrumentalist from Venlo, The Netherlands. He started at the age of 15 to play guitar and bass. Together with his brother and a good friend of him who played the guitar, he formed his first band called Misty Blue, later The New Misty Blue. The band played a lot on local festivals and band competitions. One of their highlights was to win ´The Rising Star´ Festival in the 90´s who gave the band the opportunity to record their first demo ´Day by Day´.  Markus was also chosen during a musician competition as best bass player in Limburg due to the striking bass guitar playing tapping and slapping techniques. As the band became more and more progressive and there was less room for vocals, the band decided to continue as an instrumental band and the singer left. After there was a change in band members and a second guitarist joined, the band changed their name to Harapan (Hope). Harapan recorded their demo called ´The beginning of Time´ and the band was again playing on many festivals. After one of the guitarists suffered from health problems and Markus decided to choose other priorities with a new musical interpretation in the contemporary gospel scene, Markus left Harapan. Markus recorded together with his wife Khadija the EP ´I Wanna Hear Your voice´. The song ´There´s is no one else like You´ was well received in the Christian world and got a place in the Dutch largest choir catalog called ´European Choral Club´ by publisher Small Stone Media. Markus immersed himself more in piano playing and composing praise and worship music. Still it was a wish of Markus to record an instrumental guitar rock album but less progressive but more melodic. Last year Markus picked up his guitar again and with all his passion and inspiration he recorded 10 tracks. He composed and played all the instruments on the record "God is Love". (Ecovata records).  The CD contains a good balance and qualities of different styles, ranging from melody in smooth ballads to rock and funk. https://www.radioguitarone.com/markus-spittka.html https://www.facebook.com/markusspittka/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/44JeTBaobm7IoaILEzKzJn Psalm 91 (Stand still) by Markus Spittka

DORMANTH "Beyond The Gates" - Reviewed By All Around Metal! - @thebeast

FYI: DORMANTH "Beyond The Gates" - Reviewed By All Around Metal ! Check it out here at this link: http://www.allaroundmetal.com/component/content/article/26-releases/8074-un-po-troppo-ispirato-agli-insomnium-il-quarto-album-dei-dormanth Between inspiration and mere emulation there is a very fine, sometimes imperceptible line. We often find ourselves in front of bands that are qualitatively and technically valid but which, alas, make you exclaim "but I've heard that already!". And this, of course, brings with it the unwelcome effect of relegating the group in question among the tide of many other realities present that are attested to political sufficiency and nothing more. Here, this, unfortunately, is the feeling I had when listening to "Complete Downfall", the fourth album by the Spanish Dormanth, who reach their twenty-seventh year of life - with a break from 1995 to 2016 - promoting what, on balance , turns out to be an excellent melodic death played to profession but which, as I said above, too similar to the sound of the much more important and famous Insomnium. Beyond what is the technical and qualitative apparatus, in my opinion perfect, the real sore point of this record is the all too explicit reference to the aforementioned Finns. The rest comes by itself, unfortunately. Therefore, if on the one hand the Spanish quartet is in great shape thanks to a well-crafted, enjoyable, pressing and not at all boring album, on the other hand I have to admit that all this is the result of a idea that certainly does not depend on them, or at least very little. I must surely recognize the splendid melodies and rhythms that create that death / doom atmosphere at Paradise Lost: these have literally bewitched me and I could not help but listen to some very expressive passages over and over again. However, this turned out to be a flash in the pan, because the excessive reference to the sounds of Insomnium is always around the corner and does not allow me to judge ours for what they are. But so be it; I cannot fail to point out this all too strong reference which, as I said at the beginning, has crossed the line between inspiration and emulation. Unfortunately the needle of the balance hangs more on the latter. If I were to judge Dormanth's fourth album from a technical point of view I would bow. But I would have a lot to say on the originality side, the real sore point - even the voice closely resembles that of Niilo Sevänen-. My advice is to look for a more personal way, listening again and trying to understand where to put a stop and where, on the contrary, to push. Good luck. - All Around Metal The legendary Spanish melodic Death Metal band DORMANTH, presents “Beyond The Gates” as third and last advance single from their 4th album to be entitled "Complete Downfall", which will be released in December 15th, 2020 through Xtreem Music on CD format.   You can watch the video here:   "Complete Downfall" contains 11 songs where the double bass drums, melodies and catchy choruses prevail in many of the songs along with other mid tempo tunes, continuing with their traditional style of melodic Death Metal influenced by bands like PARADISE LOST, AMORPHIS, AMON AMARTH, IN FLAMES, INSOMNIUM... Tracklist for "Complete Downfall" is as follows: 01. Dreamcatcher 02. Fire 03. Tragicomic Day 04. Beyond the Gates 05. Odyssey in Time 06. The Origin 07.

Something that keeps you listening on even as it tumbles down the avant-garde rabbit hole." GBHBL.com   Keelan comments on the album, “‘Contemporary Tragedy’ is about loss and how it transforms people in different ways. It was originally intended to be a short story told in album form. Instead, it became a theme album touching on not only loss, but what a person can become after losing what they believe to be everything. A combination of progressive and posthardcore births interesting and unique musicianship while pushing genre boundaries. Over 800 hours were spent writing and recording this album.”   Contemporary Tragedy was written, performed, recorded, edited, mixed and mastered by Keelan Donahue.    Track Listing:  1. Contemporary Tragedy I: Our Final Breaths 2. Contemporary Tragedy II: Wax Reveries  3. Contemporary Tragedy III: Curtains Close  4. Clar(it)y 5. Beginning//End 6. A Cerulean Tomb  7.

Contemporary Tragedy IV: Alternate Reveries    THESE COLORS FADE was founded in August of 2016 as a medium for Keelan to write and record music during his downtime as a musician. Early TCF consisted of him singing while playing keyboard. It has since evolved into implementing guitar, bass, and drums for a "full band feel" as well as shifting genres from acoustic to metal.

"A mix of clever originals and choice covers, Joey is showing his affinity for horror, metal, and his ingenuity as an artist."  -- Ghost Cult Magazine Multi-instrumentalist and solo artist Joey Diabolic has announced the release of his EP Through Soundwaves Vol 3, hitting digital music platforms on January 15th, 2021. The offering is a tribute to the film A Nightmare On Elm Street and features a variety of covers and original songs.  One standout cover in particular is White Zombie's "Creature of the Wheel."   Diabolic says, "I gotta be honest, it took me awhile to figure out which Astro Creep 2000 song to cover. When I finally figured out that my next releases were definitely going to be a fan-fiction reinterpretation of the Freddy Krueger/A Nightmare On Elm Street story line, 'Creature of the Wheel' was the most obvious choice."  "It’s pretty obvious that I love White Zombie… So much so that I got their logo tattooed on my right bicep. As far as covering the song, I wanted to encapsulate my experiences of listening to their albums since 1993. There was no one that sounded like them… They were true originals."   Preorder Through Soundwaves Vol 3 here: https://joeydiabolic.bandcamp.com/album/through-soundwaves-vol-3 Track List:                 01.

The songs have punch and melody, I just couldn't stop moving” Diana Nelson, Drumtastic Magazine "Being a heavy supporter of local music, I am still baffled how this band has flown under my radar for so long. Well, this was my virgin foray into what Ornimental had to offer and found myself absolutely mesmerized. Their sound is very heavy at times with times of clean atmosphere, providing the listener with a tasteful and flowing direction of music and lyrical intent. The set included “ Escape With Me ”, “ Black Sabbath ”, “ Encage ” and “ Love Thy Enemy ” which accurately showcases the outright talent of individual players and how well they play together. The accurate and speedy feet of the drummer Julio Garcia along with the chorded and/or slap style bass lines of Sully provide a strong foundation for the impossibly complex guitar work and semi-clean and clean vocals of Ariel and Danny to navigate. In the middle of the show, Danny Perry even took five minutes to “noodle” on his axe. Noodle? Whatever… This man is a monster! A polished, five minute solo interspersed with Van Halen and Dime is “noodling” most guitarists would aspire to play within any song on stage. That being said, all members have great stage presence and administer bone crushing music that engages and entertains as well, if not better than any band I have seen. Ornimental being one of the two bands I had not had the pleasure of hearing before, definitely gained at least one big fan very quickly!

"We called this song Lullaby because it’s about our duty to guard always the dreams of our beloved ones that seem so fragile and delicate. The song surprisingly conveys a combination of furious strength and incredible tenderness. By sound this song is close to Crematory with some vibes of Mudvayne. With a powerful and modern guitar riff and beautiful melody, supported of strings, this song has great energy in combination with romantic vibes." Lullaby by Cynik Scald LULLABY (Lyrics) You’re my little angel, I’m your guarding demon. Whoever tries to hurt you Will be swept away by my rage. Close your eyes, darling, Be afraid of nothing. I’ll leave the fairytale book Opened at your favorite page. And even when I’m gone forever I’ll still be getting back to you in your dreams, I’ll still be your personal guarding demon Protecting you from any evil and sins. Pre chorus Darling, hug your pillow and sleep. May your dreams be so gentle and deep. Close your eyes, darling, and please sleep tight. May you cradle be blessed with the starlight. Chorus Waking up at your darkest night I’ll stand straight in your doorways. I’ll be guarding your dreams Always, always. Waking up at your darkest night I’ll take away all your sorrows. I’ll be there by your side Always, always. Waking up at your darkest night I’ll stand straight in your doorways. I’ll be guarding your dreams Always, always. I’ve been through many fights I have enough of scars I have enough of skills To protect you from your nightmares. So sleep well, honey, Stay calm, stay brave, For God always supports Only the one who dares. And even when I’m gone forever I’ll still be getting back to you in your dreams, I’ll still be your personal guarding demon Protecting you from any evil and sins. Pre chorus Darling, hug your pillow and sleep. May your dreams be so gentle and deep. Close your eyes, darling, and please sleep tight. May you cradle be blessed with the starlight.

I’ll be guarding your dreams Always, always. credits released November 27, 2020 CYNIK SCALD is a multicultural Heavy Metal/Melodic Metal/PowerMetal/Metalcore band with their own original lyrics and music. Cynik Scald’s music has its own sound which can be described as an exciting mixture of heavy metal and folk songs with a pinch of industrial/power metal and a flavor of Viking Metal/DeathMetalcore tunes. Their music is similar to CREMATORY, MUDVAYNE, GHOST, ALESTORM, AMON AMARTH and some vibes of LAMB OF GOD, MOTÖRHEAD. Check out these singles the band previously released! 1. ASGARD. This song sounds like modern viking metal. The main character of the song is today’s person living regular life, who has lost his identity and he is trying to find himself in the world. This song has heavy, mostly Death Metal/Metalcore sound, influenced by LAMB OF GOD, AMON AMARTH. 2. STORM featuring famous power heavy metal vocalist URBAN BREED! The song contains an exciting combination of two great voices - one deep, powerful, harsh voice of our lead vocalist and one of the best heavy metal vocalists, tenor Urban Breed. The Storm is a legendary pirate flagship's song about the battle against a powerful and unbridled storm. Will Queen Anne's Revenge be able to win, break through this wild storm? This song is more Melodic Power Metal/Pirate Metal, influenced by ALESTORM, GHOST, SERIOUS BLACK, POWERWOLF etc. Cynik Scald’s debut album "AGED SPIRIT" was released at the end of 2019. Recently some of songs from the album were added to some top Spotify metal and rock playlists. Two most popular songs from album are: 'When the sun goes down' – Motorbike Road song, all filled of the spirit of Freedom and Harley Davidson. Sounds a bit country Metal with reference to Cowboy movies of 70-s. Bloggers about this song: “it’s a hard rock fusion that even allows a blues section on the bridge. A song to listen to while you travel to the nearest motor-meeting!”. Reference for this song is Motörhead. 'Silent Rainbow' is more Metalcore/Rap Metal. The song is about all people life that they just waste, but all the time above them there is Silent Rainbow, that watching them with love. Influenced by Ghost, Crematory.

DORMANTH "Beyond The Gates" - Reviewed By All Around Metal! - @thebeast

ICYMI: DORMANTH "Beyond The Gates" - Reviewed By All Around Metal ! Check it out here at this link: http://www.allaroundmetal.com/component/content/article/26-releases/8074-un-po-troppo-ispirato-agli-insomnium-il-quarto-album-dei-dormanth Between inspiration and mere emulation there is a very fine, sometimes imperceptible line. We often find ourselves in front of bands that are qualitatively and technically valid but which, alas, make you exclaim "but I've heard that already!". And this, of course, brings with it the unwelcome effect of relegating the group in question among the tide of many other realities present that are attested to political sufficiency and nothing more. Here, this, unfortunately, is the feeling I had when listening to "Complete Downfall", the fourth album by the Spanish Dormanth, who reach their twenty-seventh year of life - with a break from 1995 to 2016 - promoting what, on balance , turns out to be an excellent melodic death played to profession but which, as I said above, too similar to the sound of the much more important and famous Insomnium. Beyond what is the technical and qualitative apparatus, in my opinion perfect, the real sore point of this record is the all too explicit reference to the aforementioned Finns. The rest comes by itself, unfortunately. Therefore, if on the one hand the Spanish quartet is in great shape thanks to a well-crafted, enjoyable, pressing and not at all boring album, on the other hand I have to admit that all this is the result of a idea that certainly does not depend on them, or at least very little. I must surely recognize the splendid melodies and rhythms that create that death / doom atmosphere at Paradise Lost: these have literally bewitched me and I could not help but listen to some very expressive passages over and over again. However, this turned out to be a flash in the pan, because the excessive reference to the sounds of Insomnium is always around the corner and does not allow me to judge ours for what they are. But so be it; I cannot fail to point out this all too strong reference which, as I said at the beginning, has crossed the line between inspiration and emulation. Unfortunately the needle of the balance hangs more on the latter. If I were to judge Dormanth's fourth album from a technical point of view I would bow. But I would have a lot to say on the originality side, the real sore point - even the voice closely resembles that of Niilo Sevänen-. My advice is to look for a more personal way, listening again and trying to understand where to put a stop and where, on the contrary, to push. Good luck. - All Around Metal The legendary Spanish melodic Death Metal band DORMANTH, presents “Beyond The Gates” as third and last advance single from their 4th album to be entitled "Complete Downfall", which will be released in December 15th, 2020 through Xtreem Music on CD format.   You can watch the video here:   "Complete Downfall" contains 11 songs where the double bass drums, melodies and catchy choruses prevail in many of the songs along with other mid tempo tunes, continuing with their traditional style of melodic Death Metal influenced by bands like PARADISE LOST, AMORPHIS, AMON AMARTH, IN FLAMES, INSOMNIUM...

The band quickly began rehearsal as a three piece and played another show to their biggest crowd yet! Next, after trying out a few bassists, the band recruited Joe Rodriguez in February 2020. They are now playing as many shows as possible as they write more singles and track their debut EP " WRITTEN IN BLOOD " The band has grown so fast in such a short period of time with their rapidly expanding social media presence as well as promoting their single ' 1,000 Years' which at the time of this writing has been spun on 60+ radio stations around the world!

FYI: Hell-Born - When You Are God - Streaming At Mayhem Radio ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.mixcloud.com/Mayhemradio/mayhem-extra-180121/ Odium Records proudly announces that 12 years after the last album, the cult Polish HELL-BORN returns with a new one. The band was started in 1996 by Behemoth co-founder Baal and Les , also a former Behemoth musician as well as a member of Damnation . There are IX songs on " Natas Liah " - old school, black death metal with a bit of melodies typical for the group. There were also some guests during the recording session, including Adam Nergal Darski . The band confirms that it is by far the best album in their career. RELEASE DATE: 26 JANUARY 2021 Line-up: Baal Ravenlock – Bass/Vocals Les - Guitars Diabolizer - Drums Genre: Black/Death/Thrash Metal For fans of: Venom | Vader | Behemoth | Sodom Hell-Born and Odium Records present the premiere single " Axis of Decay " from the new album " Natas Liah ", which is announced for January. The clip can be viewed under the following link:   Recordings took place at Creme de la Creme studio, and Haldor Grunberg, known for his collaboration with Behemoth, handled the mixes and mastering. The album will be released by Odium Records by the end of the year as digipack CD and vinyl.     https://www.facebook.com/officialHellborn https://www.facebook.com/odiumrex https://www.odiumrex.com Natas Liah by Hell-Born The sun rises once more upon the slopes of Megiddo and the opposing forces greet the dawn with hymns and howls. The Seraphim reach for their shining spears of celestial light and unfurl their six-fold wings; the Nephilim unsheathe their swords of cursed infernal steel and another day in the endless battle is poised to begin. But then a new darkness rises from the ranks of the hell born, towering above the descendants of Cain and casting long shadows of fear over the ranks of heaven. The Lord himself takes the field as the chants rise in a tumult of sound from the bestial throats of the damned...”Natas Liah! Natas Liah! Natas Liah!” When some bands return from long years of silence they bring disappointment and a tarnishing of their reputation with them. But others, they bring a glorious shattering of the silence, a fulfilling of hopes and surpassing of expectations in mighty and imperious fashion. From out of the void the hellblast has sounded once more and Hell-Born have returned. Disciples of their devil’s work can rejoice, as these Polish masters of black, death and thrash metal have never sounded more accomplished and powerful. New album, Natas Liah, is everything that Hell-Born have always been – and more. From the first explosive moments of ‘When You Are God’ to the final triumphant declaration of total victory that is ‘Blakk Metal’, the raw muscle and blood of Hell-Born’s classic sound glistens in the fires of battle. Between those rampaging war cries the cruel precision of ‘Uroboros’ and the doom-laden march of ‘Son Of Earth’ present a band that has reached a new peak of confidence and mastery. There is no song on Natas Liah that doesn’t stand proud as one of Hell-Born’s finest creations. Featuring guest contributions from Adam ‘Nergal’ Darski of Behemoth – the band that Hell-Born’s Baal Ravenlock helped to form – Natas Liah is a towering edifice of darkness and extreme metal. Its sound has been perfectly honed by Haldor Grunberg (Behemoth, Blaze Of Perdition etc) and Odium Records now stand shoulder to shoulder with its creators. All the pieces are in place for a new era of darkness to begin! When 2021 begins, be prepared to kneel or die. Hell-Born have returned from the vale of silence and this time there will be no respite until the field is ours! - Imperative PR

SARKRISTA set release date for new PURITY THROUGH FIRE album, reveal first track - @thebeast

Today, Purity Through Fire sets March 21st as the international release date for Sarkrista's highly anticipated third album, Sworn to Profound Heresy, on CD, vinyl LP, A5 digipack, and cassette tape formats. Since their fiery formation in 2011, Germany's Sarkrista have upheld the banner of pure 'n' proud black metal in a most paradigmatic Finnish fashion - which is not surprising, given that the band consists of transplanted Finns. Nevertheless, whether you liken Sarkrista's sound to classic Finnish black metal or a newer breed of German black metal, the results are the same: a deadly devotion to Satanism and traditional black metal ideals, all conjured forth in a maelstrom of freezingly melodic fury. And the band have pursued that vision with a single-minded focus and clarity of execution for a prolific decade now. Purity Through Fire's blood pact with Sarkrista began in 2014 with the vinyl edition of the band's debut album, The Acheronian Worship, and that bond is stronger than ever. Now, together they cut their flesh for Satan with the long-awaited release of Sworn to Profound Heresy. Immediately recognizable as classic, characteristic Sarkrista, Sworn to Profound Heresy makes good on its titular promise: you can literally FEEL the band bleed through every ripping note and ripped vocal chord. And as the album winds on, going from speedy icicles to triumphant marches, from hellish intensity to epic majesty, Sarkrista provoke possession through these eight dizzying yet immediately memorable spells. And as effortless as all this sounds, Sarkrista worked on the album from December 2019 to October 2020, ensuring only the best material was delivered into recorded form, here entirely written by vocalist/guitarist Revenant and bassist/drummer Exesor. Uniquely, a number of guest vocalists make an appearance on Sworn to Profound Heresy: Nocturnal Depression's Lord Lokhraed on "The Chosen ones of Satan," Curse Upon a Prayer's The Infidel on "Destroyer of the Sun," and AntimateriA on "A Whisper from Forgotten Coffins." Indeed, the spirit of celebration and ruination runs rampart across the album, and surprising twists abound as Sworn to Profound Heresy comes to a climactic close... "This album is a great homage to our great master, and eternal leader SATAN!" says the band of Sworn to Profound Heresy. As ever with Sarkrista, expect nothing but furious madness! Feel the first furious madness with the brand-new track "The Beast Reborn"  HERE  at the Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Cover artwork, courtesy of Misanthropic-Art, and tracklisting are as follows: Tracklisting for Sarkrista's Sworn to Profound Heresy 1. Intro 2. Sworn to Profound Heresy 3. Lair of Cursed Remains 4. Ablazing Ritual Torches 5. The Chosen Ones of Satan 6. Conjuring the Profane Fury 7. Destroyer of the Sun 8. The Beast Reborn 9.

The “band” or project if you will since it’s not been a full band in the last 10 years or more, has played concerts, festivals and toured in the following countries Norway, Sweden, UK & Scotland, USA and Spain. The band was founded by Thomas Chr. Hansen back in 1992 and he is the only original member left. Throughout the years the band changed music style, name and members several times, only to finally back in 2001 land on the style that he still plays today. The band goes under the Power Metal genre but according Hansen himself he calls it just Melodic Metal. (with elements of power, speed, thrash and prog) After being ripped off by the first label who released their two first albums, Hansen then decided to form his own label. Epicus Records is the name of his label and he has released five Gaia Epicus albums pluss re-issued the first two. As it stands Hansen has been offered deals on other labels but turned it down, but he is looking to strike a deal with a bigger label so if anyone interested please get in touch with him.

Hell-Born - When You Are God - Streaming At Mayhem Radio! - @thebeast

ICYMI: Hell-Born - When You Are God - Streaming At Mayhem Radio ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.mixcloud.com/Mayhemradio/mayhem-extra-180121/ Odium Records proudly announces that 12 years after the last album, the cult Polish HELL-BORN returns with a new one. The band was started in 1996 by Behemoth co-founder Baal and Les , also a former Behemoth musician as well as a member of Damnation . There are IX songs on " Natas Liah " - old school, black death metal with a bit of melodies typical for the group. There were also some guests during the recording session, including Adam Nergal Darski . The band confirms that it is by far the best album in their career. RELEASE DATE: 26 JANUARY 2021 Line-up: Baal Ravenlock – Bass/Vocals Les - Guitars Diabolizer - Drums Genre: Black/Death/Thrash Metal For fans of: Venom | Vader | Behemoth | Sodom Hell-Born and Odium Records present the premiere single " Axis of Decay " from the new album " Natas Liah ", which is announced for January. The clip can be viewed under the following link:   Recordings took place at Creme de la Creme studio, and Haldor Grunberg, known for his collaboration with Behemoth, handled the mixes and mastering. The album will be released by Odium Records by the end of the year as digipack CD and vinyl.     https://www.facebook.com/officialHellborn https://www.facebook.com/odiumrex https://www.odiumrex.com Natas Liah by Hell-Born The sun rises once more upon the slopes of Megiddo and the opposing forces greet the dawn with hymns and howls. The Seraphim reach for their shining spears of celestial light and unfurl their six-fold wings; the Nephilim unsheathe their swords of cursed infernal steel and another day in the endless battle is poised to begin. But then a new darkness rises from the ranks of the hell born, towering above the descendants of Cain and casting long shadows of fear over the ranks of heaven. The Lord himself takes the field as the chants rise in a tumult of sound from the bestial throats of the damned...”Natas Liah! Natas Liah! Natas Liah!” When some bands return from long years of silence they bring disappointment and a tarnishing of their reputation with them. But others, they bring a glorious shattering of the silence, a fulfilling of hopes and surpassing of expectations in mighty and imperious fashion. From out of the void the hellblast has sounded once more and Hell-Born have returned. Disciples of their devil’s work can rejoice, as these Polish masters of black, death and thrash metal have never sounded more accomplished and powerful. New album, Natas Liah, is everything that Hell-Born have always been – and more. From the first explosive moments of ‘When You Are God’ to the final triumphant declaration of total victory that is ‘Blakk Metal’, the raw muscle and blood of Hell-Born’s classic sound glistens in the fires of battle. Between those rampaging war cries the cruel precision of ‘Uroboros’ and the doom-laden march of ‘Son Of Earth’ present a band that has reached a new peak of confidence and mastery. There is no song on Natas Liah that doesn’t stand proud as one of Hell-Born’s finest creations. Featuring guest contributions from Adam ‘Nergal’ Darski of Behemoth – the band that Hell-Born’s Baal Ravenlock helped to form – Natas Liah is a towering edifice of darkness and extreme metal. Its sound has been perfectly honed by Haldor Grunberg (Behemoth, Blaze Of Perdition etc) and Odium Records now stand shoulder to shoulder with its creators. All the pieces are in place for a new era of darkness to begin! When 2021 begins, be prepared to kneel or die. Hell-Born have returned from the vale of silence and this time there will be no respite until the field is ours! - Imperative PR
