Brisbane Alt-Metallers KRAVE Unveil 'Puppet' Official Music Video - @thebeast

ICYMI: Brisbane Alt-Metal Trio KRAVE recently released their energetic new single 'Puppet'. In honour of their new release, KRAVE are back with an Official Music Video accompanying the aggressive riffage for this high-octane rock anthem!  KRAVE bare it all with a clever depiction of the push and pull within one's mind when navigating a petulant inner critic. The opening shot shows Vocalist Siana Davis on her knees with marionette strings being controlled by the 'Puppet Master', which is later revealed to be the character's own malevolent inner voice. Dancing between raw angst, frustration and ultimately empowerment from breaking the cycle and taking control of ones own mental health, 'Puppet' is a chant-along stadium ready tune sure to get your fists pumping in the air! Davis speaks on the Music Video "Puppet [Official Music Video] is a whole new level of awesome regarding its artfulness and visually compelling story. We had an incredible collaborative experience creating the vision for 'Puppet' and pouring our aesthetic ideas into an abstract, symbolic and powerfully eccentric music video! The video relays the lyrics in 'Puppet' which is about being possessed and manipulated by a strong malicious force that controls you and turns you into the deepest and most evil part of yourself. I was honoured to play the 'Puppet' and the 'Evil Puppet Master' in the video, and then Ryan (Krave guitarist) filmed and edited the entire video together and Sam (Krave drummer) directed the video and took leadership in choreographing the visual story! We are all about DIY in this band and we did this music video all by ourselves which we feel very proud of. It has a cool twist at the end too! Krave are very keen to work on many more music videos in the near future. We hope you enjoy! And you can find 'Puppet' on our upcoming EP 'Inner Asylum' out October 8th" Following a successful release of their debut EP 'Self Exposure' which garnered the band global airplay and coverage, KRAVE are an up and coming band to keep you eyes on. Back with a brand new EP in matter of months, KRAVE are the epitome of hard working virtuosic musicians proving that even a global pandemic will not stop them!

Germany's CHEROKEE premiere new video at InvisibleOranges.com - @thebeast

ICYMI: Today, German hard rockers  Cherokee  premiere the new video   "Bill Pullman"   at heavily trafficked web-portal   InvisibleOranges.com . The track is   the third to be revealed   from the band's highly anticipated debut album,   Blood & Gold , set for international release on November 19th via  Dying Victims Productions . See & h ear  Cherokee 's "Bill Pullman" video in its entirety exclusively  HERE . Hailing from Cologne,   Cherokee  was founded in 2014. Several lineup changes occurred until the first lineup was complete – guitarists Simon Siantidis and Alexander Beda Maria Kleusch, bassist Fabian Albert Dey, drummer Fabian Kampa, and vocalist Katharina Heldt – which recorded two demos , Ridin’ Free   (2015) and   Mother Nature’s Child   (2016). Following the second demo, Heldt departed the band. In 2017, vocalist Laura Vesprini joins   Cherokee , and together the EP   Wakan Tanka Nici Un Ep   was recorded at Sculpt Sound Studio by Laurent Teubl (Chapel of Disease) and released in 2018. Many gigs followed, the band truly finding their latent power onstage, and in 2019 did a successful mini-tour commence with Canadian compatriots Freeways. But, that power was only simmering… Indeed, it explodes across   Cherokee ’s literally massive debut album,   Blood & Gold . Comprising 15 songs in 75 action-packed minutes – truly, a double-album like the old days –   Blood & Gold   is the culmination of over a year’s work of writing, recording, mixing, and mastering. More importantly, this recorded document is the grandest statement of the  Cherokee  aesthetic: moody, dynamic, and storytelling HARD ROCK chiseled from the stone of the ‘70s. Each song here is its own experience, its own heartstrings-pulling sensation and fist-shaking anthem. Although a handful of ‘em are re-recorded/finessed versions of earlier songs, it’s a foregone conclusion that these are the definitive issue:   Cherokee  wanted something special for their debut album and simply could not decide which songs to cut, and thus did thus they settle for a 15-song double-album. For them, it is honest, handmade guitar-driven music, a perfect mix of hard rock and blues, fun and power. The soundtrack for any situation in life, be it on your way to work, the soundtrack to an antisocial drinking night, road trips to festivals in the middle of nowhere – to cure post festival depression, or to spice up your next visit to grandma’s house –   Blood & Gold   is the sonic travelogue to get you there and get you feeling GOOD. If you feel good to the immortal Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, Wishbone Ash, UFO, and Dire Straits or modern antecedents like the aforementioned Freeways,   Sandstorm , Haunt,   Midnight Prey , and Savage Master, then   Cherokee  are guaranteed to be your new favorite band – and   Blood & Gold   your new favorite record(s)! Hear (and see) for yourself with the brand-new video "Bill Pullman" exclusively  HERE , courtesy of InvisibleOranges.com. Also hear the previously revealed "Warriors of the Rainbow" exclusively  HERE ,  courtesy of Keep It True TV, as well as the previously revealed  "Ride by Night" exclusively  HERE ,  courtesy of  Deaf Forever  magazine.   Cover and tracklisting are as follows: Tracklisting for Cherokee (Germany)'s Blood & Gold 1.

Summoner's Circle is a six-piece theatrical metal band that blends elements of doom, death, black and progressive metal into what they refer to as simply Epic Metal. For the band, every song in an incantation, every live performance is a Summoning, and everything they do is tied intrinsically to the mythology, or lore, they have created. The lore tells the story of the band's origins, battles of divine conquest and showcases their creativity and vision, which sets the stage for a very entertaining live performance where bigger is better, and Epic is always the standard. The Summoners released their first EP, entitled First Summoning, in late 2015. This was followed in 2016 by the single, Become None, and its B-side, Minotaur, both of which are included on their debut full-length release entitled Tome, which was released in June of 2018. In May of 2019, Tome was repackaged and released as Become None via the Pavement Entertainment label. In the spring of 2019, Summoner's Circle joined Children of Bodom , Swallow the Sun and Wolfheart as part of Bodom's Hexed North American Tour , gaining many new fans and excellent reviews. In June of 2019, the Six signed a worldwide management deal with Extreme Management Group, Inc . who also manages Suffocation , Cattle Decapitation , Misery Index and many others. Summoner's Circle’s second full-length album Chaos Vector released in 2021 is accompanied by a Lovecraft-style cosmic horror short story written by the band. Each song is a chapter in the story.  “Summoners' Circle have the whole package. Their songs are original and memorable, beautifully written, and hook the listener after the first listening. They have a great stage presence, and the theatricality and imagery of their live performances keep the fans talking about their experience way beyond the day of the show. I am honored to work on the production of their upcoming album.” - Yanic Bercier, Ph.D | Endorser of Yamaha Drums, Sabian, Vic Firth, Evans, AKG, RME, True-Systems, Engl, Ddrum “Hooked the first time I saw this band play! No two shows are the same and I'm always left wanting more.  It's what music and show should be!” - Lee Abney | Pentagram/Place of Skulls "These guys are serious about what they do and the costumes and imagery match the grandiose sound they produce." No Clean Singing "SUMMONER'S CIRCLE's full-length debut gets near the 75-minute mark, and yet it succeeds in balancing complexity, heaviness, catchiness, mystery and melodrama to make sure its duration does not become overwhelming. an almost perfect record ...especially its flawless production and its tight, inventive songwriting." - Metal Temple “Summoner's Circle is the kind of band you go your whole life hoping to hear and when you finally do it's even better than you expected. They are the culmination of a lifetime spent listening to music and finally finding something that fits where nothing else has. Plus, brutality aside, they're just a fantastic group of otherworldly beings.” - Josh Martin 94.3 WNFZ Follow the band at these links: https://www.summonerscircle.com/ https://www.facebook.com/summonerscircle https://twitter.com/summoners13 https://www.instagram.com/summonerscircle/ https://linktr.ee/SummonersCircle https://music.apple.com/us/artist/summoners-circle/1074087942 https://open.spotify.com/artist/2BpJrW0RgXSQgDwv9VbU4J?si=c_PwGE8CQzKd5TPVIEA-Ig&dl_branch=1

Evoking Winds - Silent Down - Featured At Arrepio Producoes! - @thebeast

Evoking Winds - Silent Down - Featured At Arrepio Producoes ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.arrepioproducoes.com.br/noticias/?n=U1qZEazRLD Rerelease Date: Sep 14, 2021 FFO: Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Eldamar, Elderwind Bio: Atmospheric metal meets folklore fantasy in music by Evoking Winds. It’s a mixture of stormy blast beats with an epic ambiance and a healthy dose of Eastern Europe’s dark tales. The band was originally founded by Artyom Prishchepov together with Ivan Sereda in Belarus in 2008 as the way close friends created music together. They composed music for years just for fun and inspiration, and the band has eventually grown over a decade: adding Yaroslav Korotkin on vocals and bass, Sergey Shulzhenko (keys and orchestration), Dmitry Sarychau on guitars, and Alexander Cherepanov doing vocals. Today the musicians live around the world: Belarus, USA, China, Russia - and collaborate online. Recently they decided to re-mix and issue all of their music digitally available for everyone for free, featuring James Knoerl on drums and programming. Starting with the very first works they walk the journey again opening new chapters together. This sense of friendship is something everyone really started to value during pandemics and isolation. Press release: Back to our folklore roots, the album tells the dark and authentic tales we listened to as kids here in Eastern Europe. Its culture code reflects the way nature behaves here, where the land is covered with endless swamps and pre-historic woods. The lyrics (available at the Bandcamp along with free lossless downloads) are grounded by the philosophy of nature, life, and death, and leaning towards the atmospheric black metal sound comparing to the band's debut album.

Brisbane Alt-Metallers KRAVE Unveil 'Puppet' Official Music Video - @thebeast

Brisbane Alt-Metal Trio KRAVE recently released their energetic new single 'Puppet'. In honour of their new release, KRAVE are back with an Official Music Video accompanying the aggressive riffage for this high-octane rock anthem!  KRAVE bare it all with a clever depiction of the push and pull within one's mind when navigating a petulant inner critic. The opening shot shows Vocalist Siana Davis on her knees with marionette strings being controlled by the 'Puppet Master', which is later revealed to be the character's own malevolent inner voice. Dancing between raw angst, frustration and ultimately empowerment from breaking the cycle and taking control of ones own mental health, 'Puppet' is a chant-along stadium ready tune sure to get your fists pumping in the air! Davis speaks on the Music Video "Puppet [Official Music Video] is a whole new level of awesome regarding its artfulness and visually compelling story. We had an incredible collaborative experience creating the vision for 'Puppet' and pouring our aesthetic ideas into an abstract, symbolic and powerfully eccentric music video! The video relays the lyrics in 'Puppet' which is about being possessed and manipulated by a strong malicious force that controls you and turns you into the deepest and most evil part of yourself. I was honoured to play the 'Puppet' and the 'Evil Puppet Master' in the video, and then Ryan (Krave guitarist) filmed and edited the entire video together and Sam (Krave drummer) directed the video and took leadership in choreographing the visual story! We are all about DIY in this band and we did this music video all by ourselves which we feel very proud of. It has a cool twist at the end too! Krave are very keen to work on many more music videos in the near future. We hope you enjoy! And you can find 'Puppet' on our upcoming EP 'Inner Asylum' out October 8th" Following a successful release of their debut EP 'Self Exposure' which garnered the band global airplay and coverage, KRAVE are an up and coming band to keep you eyes on. Back with a brand new EP in matter of months, KRAVE are the epitome of hard working virtuosic musicians proving that even a global pandemic will not stop them!

CAPRA: Metallic Hardcore Unit To Kick Off US Headlining Tour Next Month + Band Added To High On Fire Date - @thebeast

Lafayette, Louisiana-based metallic hardcore unit CAPRA will kick off their US headlining tour next month. The trek begins with a warm up show October 4th at the Freetown Boom Boom Room in their home city, before kicking off the official journey on October 15th in New Orleans, Louisiana. From there, the band will make their way through eighteen cities including a special one-off show supporting High On Fire in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the tour drawing to a close on November 5th at Double Wide in Dallas, Texas. See all confirmed dates below. CAPRA: 10/04/2021 Freetown Boom Boom Room – Lafayette, LA 10/15/2021 Santos Bar - New Orleans, LA 10/16/2021 Boggs Social – Atlanta, GA 10/17/2021 Archetype – Jacksonville, FL 10/19/2021 The Milestone – Charlotte, NC 10/20/2021 The Camel – Richmond, VA 10/21/2021 Mother's Fed Hill – Baltimore, MD 10/22/2021 Century – Philadelphia, PA 10/23/2021 Middle East Downstairs – Cambridge, MA w/ High On Fire 10/25/2021 Saint Vitus – Brooklyn, NY 10/27/2021 Buzzbin Shop – Canton, OH 10/28/2021 Black Circle Brewing Co. – Indianapolis, IN 10/29/2021 Cobra Lounge – Chicago, IL 10/30/2021 Riot Room - Kansas City, MO 10/31/2021 White Water Tavern - Little Rock, AR 11/02/2021 White Oak Upstairs – Houston, TX 11/03/2021 Paper Tiger - San Antonio, TX 11/04/2021 The Lost Well – Austin, TX 11/05/2021 Double Wide – Dallas, TX   CAPRA will be touring in support of their full-length debut, In Transmission, released via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records earlier this year.   Formed in 2016 by guitarist Tyler Harper and drummer Jeremy Randazzo, the initial idea for CAPRA was to create something that would be fresh while still giving listeners a sense of nostalgia for the sounds of the late ‘90s and early 2000s hardcore and punk scenes. After going through various lineup changes, and adding Crow Lotus (vocals), Trevor Alleman (guitar), and Ben Paramore (bass) to their ranks, everything came together. CAPRA's full-length debut, In Transmission -- which was recorded with Jai Benoit (Golgothan, Father Rust), then mixed by Taylor Young (Nails, Twitching Tongues), and mastered by Brad Boatwright (Pig Destroyer, Integrity, Torche, Idle Hands) -- is literally the culmination of years of hard work, reflecting everything they’ve been writing and pouring into the band since solidifying the lineup. "We wanted it to be the heaviest and most complete record we could possibly lay down, composed of only the best songs we've written over years of playing together,” says Paramore. “It's the best set of songs we've ever had, and we're all extremely proud of them, and each other, so we hope it sounds like a total passion project -- because it is."   Preview and purchase In Transmission at blacklightmediarecords.com/capra.   “…the album is quite simply heavy-as-hell, with roaring guitars, earth-cracking drums, and bellowing basslines, and moving through the record feels like observing some kind of metaphysical cleansing in which audience participation is required.” – New Noise Magazine   “… a ferocious, snarling beast…” – The Razors Edge Rocks   “Effortlessly moving from classic hardcore stomps, sludgy southern crawls and shades of atmospheric black metal, every note feels like it is absolutely necessary immediate, and tightness with which the band operates is something that many bands with five times as much experience as CAPRA wish they could attain.” – Nine Circles   CAPRA: Crow Lotus - vocals Tyler Harper - guitar Trevor Alleman - guitar Jeremy Randazzo - drums Ben Paramore - bass http://www.facebook.com/Capraband http://www.instagram.com/capraband http://twitter.com/capraband

Dan Lorenzo to host Ultimate Sinner on Sirius/XM! - @thebeast

FYI: Dan Lorenzo to host Ultimate Sinner on Sirius/XM ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.siriusxm.com/channels/ozzys-boneyard Former  Hades/Non-Fiction   guitarist and founding member  Dan Lorenzo  will host  Ultimate Sinner On  Sirius/XM's Ozzy's Boneyard this Wednesday September 22nd at noon EST. The show will rebroadcast  on Sunday September 26th at 9PM EST and again Monday September 27th at 6PM EST. Lorenzo is currently active with two bands,  Vessel Of Light  and  Cassius King . Both have releases on  Nomad Eel Records.  Vessel of Light is fronted by  Ancient VVisdom's Nathan Opposition  and Cassius King has  Jason   McMaster  on vocals.  Former Hades/Overkill  drummer  Ron Lipnicki  and former Hades bassist  Jimmy Schulman  are involved with both Vessel Of Light and Cassius King. Lorenzo will speak about the time COC's vocalist Karl Agill sang a Black Sabbath cover with Non-Fiction in North Carolina and the time Pantera's Phil Anselmo sang the Non-Fiction song The My Way to Lorenzo in California. Lorenzo will also play music by Alice In Chains, Kiss and Cassius King. CASSIUS KING Jason McMaster Vocals Ron Lipnicki drums Jimmy Schulman bass Dan Lorenzo guitars Fresh off of releasing their debut album Field Trip on California's Nomad Eel Records yesterday, Cassius King have just released their first full length video for the song Cleopatra's Needle. The video was produced by Jason C. Stewart who also produced the Last Ride and Torture King videos off the last Vessel Of Light album.  "Jason has become my go-to-guy the last year and a half." said guitarist Dan Lorenzo. "His enthusiasm is off the charts and at this point I let him to whatever he wanted for Cleopatra's Needle and I think it's just as much fun to watch as it is to listen to". Overkill's Bobby Blitz commented It's really  great, I even commented, which I never do .. .  "epic" got such an old school doom vibe, but never bores ...love the journey! Previous Cassius King press release below Former HADES founding member Dan Lorenzo has been using the CASSIUS KING moniker for years. From his debut  solo album to his endless cover song CDs with various lead vocalists. But it wasn't until 2021 when Lorenzo decided to  make an all original album with vocalist Jason McMaster ( WATCHTOWER/DANGEROUS TOYS/BROKEN TEETH/HOWLING SYCAMORE/IGNITOR ). Lorenzo released four albums in three years with his doom band VESSEL OF LIGHT when Coronavirus prevented any more live shows. "I had music to probably eight or nine more songs after VOL released Last Ride", Lorenzo said. "I didn't think the world was ready for a fifth Vessel Of Light album when we couldn't even play shows to support Last Ride. Jason sang multiple Cassius King cover songs with me and I had some music that was maybe a bit more like Hades plus a bluesy song I sent off to Jason. I was shocked how quickly Jason wrote and sang the first few songs so I recorded a few more brand new tunes. I asked Jason if he needed any help with melodies and he told me he did not. Jason said he could use some lyrical ideas though. I told that to Jimmy Schulman (Hades/Vessel Of Light) and he and Jason ended up collaborating lyrically on three songs." Schulman commented, "When Dan mentioned Jason needed some lyrical ideas, I was excited to be part of that process. Jason and I came at it a few different ways. Sometimes it was just texting back-and-forth with a line or two at a time until it took on shape. Another time, a long poem was crafted into a song. However it went though, it proved to be a cool and interesting collaboration." So what kind of music is the debut CASSIUS KING album Field Trip? Traditional heavy metal? Doom?  McMaster stated, "It was the kind of material I had been wanting to do for a long time. It feels a bit like Ozzy and Dio playing poker over some left over Sabbath material. The melodies came to me quickly, as well as some of the lyrics. Things I already had fit the visions I had upon first listen and it all flowed immediately. I would not call it a full "doom" application of terms, but, its heavy, it reminds me of what I love about Sabbath and Dio songs". Drummer Ron Lipnicki ( former Overkill current Vessel Of Light)said, "I think this new album's got something for everyone it's like the fruits all line up on the slot machine." That includes fans of Hades seminal release Resisting Success as Scott LePage plays leads on the songs I Move With The Moon and King of Lies. Cassius King Field Trip will feature cover art by Claudio Bergamin ( Judas Priest Firepower) . Nomad Eel Records have already released a vinyl single by Cassius King.

New Promo: Evoking Winds - Silent Down (Remastered) - (Atmospheric Black Metal / Folk) - @thebeast

ICYMI: Rerelease Date: Sep 14, 2021 FFO: Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Eldamar, Elderwind Bio: Atmospheric metal meets folklore fantasy in music by Evoking Winds. It’s a mixture of stormy blast beats with an epic ambiance and a healthy dose of Eastern Europe’s dark tales. The band was originally founded by Artyom Prishchepov together with Ivan Sereda in Belarus in 2008 as the way close friends created music together. They composed music for years just for fun and inspiration, and the band has eventually grown over a decade: adding Yaroslav Korotkin on vocals and bass, Sergey Shulzhenko (keys and orchestration), Dmitry Sarychau on guitars, and Alexander Cherepanov doing vocals. Today the musicians live around the world: Belarus, USA, China, Russia - and collaborate online. Recently they decided to re-mix and issue all of their music digitally available for everyone for free, featuring James Knoerl on drums and programming. Starting with the very first works they walk the journey again opening new chapters together. This sense of friendship is something everyone really started to value during pandemics and isolation. Press release: Back to our folklore roots, the album tells the dark and authentic tales we listened to as kids here in Eastern Europe. Its culture code reflects the way nature behaves here, where the land is covered with endless swamps and pre-historic woods. The lyrics (available at the Bandcamp along with free lossless downloads) are grounded by the philosophy of nature, life, and death, and leaning towards the atmospheric black metal sound comparing to the band's debut album.

July - Love Apocalypse - Featured At BATHORY ́zine! - @thebeast

July - Love Apocalypse - Featured At BATHORY ́zine ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.bathoryzine.com/2021/09/july-love-apocalypse-post-punk-dark.html  Release Date: Oct 1st 2021 FFO: Currents, Spiritbox, Silent Planet, Crystal Lake, FFAK Frontières announces an upcoming single: First Born Blessing September 2021 - Hailing from Quebec, Frontières is a band with a widely diverse creative approach, and a distinctive attitude that led them to experiment with various styles and genre currents. The group consists of Dominique Côté, Frédéric Stankunas, Samuel David-Bélanger, Yannick Lehoux and Joel Lord who joined forces to create a thick, cohesive tone. Each musician brings something unique to the table, and the sum of the parts, as they say, is truly interesting and spot-on, hitting the mark with a fine-tuned sound that you would expect from a much experienced band rather than from a relatively new line-up of musicians jumping onto the scene! From the aggressive edge of metalcore and post-hardcore, down to the wholesome melodies of modern heavy metal, anything goes. Their most recent studio release, First Born Blessing, is yet another taste of the band’s resourcefulness and willingness to set the bar higher with a unique sound. This release is going to appeal to fan of artists such as Spirit Box, Fit For A King , and Currents, among others! The track immediately sets the tone with a dark and ominous tone, preceding the massive guitar walls and relentless drums. There is a slightly progressive nature to the song’s arrangement, as it constantly evolves, exploring new dynamics as the track moves along. The vocals are fierce and aggressive, effortlessly cutting through the instrument without competing for space in the mix. Ultimately, “First Born Blessing” is a perfect example of how the band set out to stay true to the roots of the genre, while also exploring new musical horizons and bringing some innovation to the modern metal scene. If this song is any indication, we are definitely in for a very interesting time for this band, and we can’t wait to hear more. Check out the video! First Born Blessing brings a lot of energy to the table, and the track is actually mixed really well, highlighting the accomplished feel of this production. From the moment you hit play, you’ll instantly connect with the band’s passion and genuine ability to transport the listener to a different place with their songs. Check out Frontières, and do not miss out on First Born Blessing, which is going to be available on the web starting from October 1st, 2021.

Lipsia - Faustus - Reviewed By Full Metal Mayhem! - @thebeast

Lipsia - Faustus - Reviewed By Full Metal Mayhem ! Check it out here at this link: https://lorenzvangore.wixsite.com/fullmetalmayhem/post/faustus-mit-lipsia How did I get to know the band: Metal Devastation Radio sent me that again. Originally from Kyrgyzstan, now in Saxony, dS makes me a bit curious.  How do I find the record: Here we get an intro that mainly there is also wind but after that the black metal is unleashed. Not frenzied, but powerful, despite some synth passages and one or the other use of clear vocals. But if the vocals are used according to their status, then as the nastest scre.  Especially recommended is the track NATURE IS SIN, SPIRIT IS DEVIL, which grabbed me the most. I don't enjoy the intro and ourto, although the latter just sounds like they can't think of a good text for it.  Conclusion: Solid, albeit quite unpolished black metal, that you can definitely give yourself. Definitely worth listening to, but not a must. But form your own opinion: - Full Metal Mayhem Release Date: July 18, 2019 FFO: Darkestrah, Serpent Column, Sørgelig Inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 's " Faust . Eine Tragodie ". Front cover by Rembrandt van Rijn, 1652. Black metal side project of Darkestrah . Faustus is a jewel of the underground, I must say. It represents almost an optimal state of raw black metal, a genre with a strong focus on the atmosphere and the melodies instead of a high level of technical performance. The intro contains several archived wind sounds, which are covered by noise as it approaches its end. Admittedly, intros are not necessarily a good addition to most albums, but the sheer cold atmosphere immediately threw me into the scene, and I just can't listen to this EP again without hearing it. The first real track on the album is "Die Natur ist Sünde, Geist ist Teufel", German for "Die Natur ist Sünde, der Geist ist der Teufel" and a quotation from Goethe, which matches the Faust reference on the artwork and the band name. It's very exciting to watch how the atmosphere slowly builds up and develops in a sad and very cold direction, which is simply the main feature of this EP. The harsh vocals of Resurgemus simply cut through the sound of the guitars and despite its incomprehensibility, it is very pleasant as it melts with the music. Resurgemus, the vocalist and guitarist on this album, has done an incredible job. The sound of his riffs is typical for the raw and atmospheric nature of early German black metal and can be compared to many bands from the transition of millennia. The riffs are technically not too complex, but more than justify themselves by the skillful use of the fuzzy sound. The production quality is comparable to a recording made with a Nokia 3310 in a basement, but that's where part of the charm lies. Good production quality is not necessary with metal as long as the available resources are used intelligently, which is the case here. Asbath was responsible for the drums and did a pretty decent job. His style is not too much based on blasting parts, which are quite pleasant and can be found on this album at certain times. The overall sound was not too loud, which is a very wise decision for this kind of music, as the focus should remain on the melodic and dark tones of the guitars. I was not openly impressed, but I am certainly far from being disappointed by the drums. - Vanass Heluphicclo - Metal Archives Check out this video! Faustus by Lipsia Titles translation: 1. The Witches of Brocken Mountain 2. Nature is Sin, Spirit is Devil 3. And Satan Leads the Ball 4. The Pentagram on your Threshold 5.

How Long Does e-Juice Stay Good? - @thebeast

FYI: How Long Does e-Juice Stay Good?   One of the most popular questions in the vaping world is; how long does e-juice stay good? Every vaper, particularly the beginners, would like to know the answer. Nobody wants to have a spoiled e-liquid. Is there an e-juice expiry date?   No matter how potent you think the e-juice is, it must not be exposed to extreme heat. It is a long-lasting concoction, but it does come with an expiry date. Vape liquid is a consumable product. You have to remember that all consumable products have ingredients that have a shelf life. If the e-juice does not have food-based ingredients, it won’t be considered safe for ingestion. What you must also know is that e-juice, with other perishables, has expiration dates which are estimates of when they are likely to go bad.   Most of the e-liquids including the menthol vape juice have a shelf life of one to two years starting from the date they are manufactured. This is particularly because of its major components such as nicotine, PG or propylene glycol, and VG or vegetable glycerin. These are the big three of an e-juice and along with flavorings, they make up almost all types of e-liquids. It has been a fact that PG, VG, and nicotine have a shelf life of about two years although this depends on their getting stored in optimal conditions.   What shortens the shelf life of e-juice?   The golden rule is to keep the e-juice away from direct heat and sunlight. When you leave the bottle of e-juice out in the sun for too long this can degrade the ingredients found in the e-juice and spoil it. When VG is exposed to as high as 250 Fahrenheit, the ingredients are more likely to disintegrate and find it hard to re-integrate even at lower temperatures. When PG is exposed to the same conditions, this can turn out unstable and lose its original vape juice flavors .   Any e-juice must not be exposed to air as well. The air is composed of several different chemicals, but it can cause problems with the lifespan of your e-juice. When oxygen interacts with nicotine, it results in the production of nicotine. This is known as the oxidation process, or the loss of two hydrogen atoms and the gain of one atom of oxygen. Simply put, exposure to oxygen may cause problems with the vape e-juice flavor as well as reduce the nicotine level of your vape juice. Such adverse effects may only be noticeable after long exposure.   How do you figure out if the vape juice has become bad?   It is already given that an e-liquid can last for one to two years, but some can last up to five years, depending on the vape flavor and brand. Each of these has a chemical structure that will affect the shelf life of a vape juice. Since expiry dates are only estimated dates, it’s still up to you to sniff out the e-juice from any vape juice Canada company. There are some signs you can look for that will tell you the e-juice is not good anymore. One of these is that the components stay separated wherein the heavier elements remain at the bottom. When shaking up the bottle a bit does not put the ingredients back together, this means the e-juice has gone bad. If you smell something funky out of your favorite e-juice bottle, chances are you need to buy a new one. If your e-liquid has been stored erroneously meaning exposed to heat or air and being not tightly sealed. Bad storage may cause a lack of flavor, nicotine, vapor, and discoloration.   How do you extend the shelf life of your vape juice?   You can enhance the flavor of e-juice when you store it for a prolonged period in the right conditions. This is the same as wine. And this process is called steeping. It is pretty easy to do. All you have to do is leave the e-juice on its own for a few weeks for its flavors to mature. The catch is that the e-liquid has to be stored in the appropriate conditions for this process to take effect.   Is it fine to vape an expired e-liquid?   You may still vape the expired e-juice, but it will not be pleasing for you. It may only disappoint you in terms of flavor and nicotine strength. If you are a seasoned vaper and you want to have a first-class experience, it’s better for you to get rid of the expired e-juice and get yourself a new one. E-liquids are not that costly, and there are hundreds of flavors for you to choose from. Get rid of the expired e-juice properly by pouring it on absorbent materials like kitty litter or used ground coffee. Make sure that they are away from the children’s reach. Don’t throw them directly into the garbage dump.   What you should know about vape juice expiry dates?   Distributors as well as manufacturers of e-juice don’t have regulations to follow about the expiry dates, display, and advertising of products. The time a vape juice lasts depends on the frequency of vaping, the wattage, and the temperature when you vape. At high temperatures, it is easy for you to finish vaping a 60mL bottle in only a week. Vaping at a wattage of 50 to 100 and at an average amount of vaping can use up a 30ml bottle in a week. Less wattage converts to less consumption.

DARK REDEEMER - INTO THE DEEP BLACK - Reviewed By All Around Metal! - @thebeast

DARK REDEEMER - INTO THE DEEP BLACK - Reviewed By All Around Metal ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.allaroundmetal.com/component/content/article/26-releases/8845-dalla-tomba-degli-aleph-sorgono-i-dark-redeemer Until 2018 there were Aleph, a band from Bergamo that had made a certain name in the Italian underground resulting in one of the leading bands of the Italian extreme undergrowth; in 2018, precisely, the dissolution, but today the Aleph rise from the grave with the name Dark Redeemer. Only guitarist Hypnos is missing, but otherwise the Dark Redeemer line-up is made up of the four remaining members of the old line-up, which debuts in this new guise thanks to Blasphemous Records with this "Into the Deep Black". Evidently Dave Battaglia, Antonio Ceresoli, Giulio Gasperini and Manuel Togni still had more to say, and they do so without forgetting the sinister atmospheres given by the horrific keyboards of Gasperini, but shifting their sounds to a more raw and direct Death Metal, son of influences ranging from the ferocious accelerations of the Swedish school (Dismember, Grave, Entombed ... the usual in short) and the colossal American rockiness (Autopsy, Immolation, Morbid Angel). And the result is this second debut, an album that, as easily undert, aims more than in the past at a very brazen and granitic approach, in which perhaps there still seems to be something to be definitively fine-tuned, but that knows very well how to strike, flooding the listener with a cascade of riffs whose sounds are totally devoted to the old school of Stockholm; and to complete the fresco we find a rhythm section perfectly in the ball, with the Pair Togni / Ceresoli that offer an impeccable performance by building an impenetrable sound wall. The Zombie squadron composed of the four musicians thus moves between archaic pieces, among which undoubtedly stand out the opener "TMC" and the highlight of the album, the third track "Killing Ritual", the song in which most of all we find the elements that make up the sounds of Ours, from the furious Swedish Death to the theatrical singing of Dave Battaglia, up to the keyboards that give that touch of a soundtrack from Zombie Movie romeriano, which we imagine is the ultimate goal of the orobic act. The skull that emerges from the Dark Redeemer logo is the main symbol of this new life of the aleph era: dark Redeemer, while bringing some elements of the old band as a dowry, are a completely new reality in its own right, a more compact and square evolution than what was their first incarnation with the last album "Thanatos". As mentioned, there is just something to fix in the songwriting phase, but the path taken seems to be the right one. In short, the first one is good, but given the musicians involved it will be reasonable to expect considerable progress in the future. - All Around Metal 24 SEPTEMBER: DARK REDEEMER “INTO THE DEEP BLACK” CD Release! Blasphemous Records is proud to announce DARK REDEEMER’s signing of the contract. They will join the band roster of Music for the Masses Group. Born out of the ashes of the Bergamo (Italy)-based Death Metal band ALEPH, DARK REDEEMER will make its debut on September 24th   2021 with the full length “INTO THE DEEP BLACK”. An album with 9 old school sick, dark and violent tracks which will satisfy the fans of Obituary, Morbid Angel, Autopsy, Dismember,  early Entombed  and Celtic Frost.  The album will be distributed by Sleaszy Music (USA), Code 7 (Europe), Wormhole Death Japan, Fans and Bands (Mexico), Egea Music (Italy) and digitally on all digital music stores. The promotion will be entrusted to Metal Devastation USA, Grand Sounds (Europe) and Mazzarella Press Office (Italy). DARK REDEEMER were born in the summer of 2018 out of the ashes of Aleph, a band devoted to an obscure, progressive death metal band that released four albums between 2006 and 2018. In spite of the great response, both by the fans and the press (Aleph were the Metal Hammer new Italian band of the year in 2006), and their live performances (with standings like Dismember, Necrodeath, Vision Divine and more), the four deathsters decided it was time to overturn their soundscape: the style of DARK REDEEMER was forged in the encounter of the impactful late 80s-early 90s Swedish Death Metal chainsaw-wall-of-sound of Grave, Dismember and Entombed and the mindset, the structures and the sick harmonies of the coeval U.S. scene (Obituary, Morbid Angel, Immolation), passing through the Great Founding Fathers, Celtic Frost. The outcome of it is an uncompromising, uptempo, relentless sonic assault which trasures the lessons given in the last 20-30 years in extreme metal music. And very old-school, indeed. DARK REDEEMER leaves the listener breathless, dragging him/her into a mighty maelstrom of musical, lyrical violence and malignance. Thus, a return to the roots of the “Sound of Death”, more straightforward than ever and relieved of the progressive divagations which were pivotal in the band’s previous incarnation. DARK REDEEMER’s debut album, “INTO THE DEEP BLACK” is scheduled for worldwide release on September, 24th by BLASPHEMOUS RECORDS. It will be distributed by: Sleazy Records (USA), Code 7 (Europe), Wormhole Death Japan, Fans and Bands (Mexico), Egea Music (Italy) and digitally on all digital music stores worldwide. The album’s promotion is entrusted to Metal Devastation USA, Grand Sounds (Europe) e Mazzarella Press Office (Italy).

Grief Collector was formed by (ex-)members of Signs Of Reign, Among The Serpents and Candlemass/Solitude Aeturnus. Their aim was to combine Doom, some Sludge and feelings of sorrow and tragedy into a musical mix that could stand the test of time. This resulted in their first mini-CD ‘From Dissension To Avowal’. The layered music and Robert Lowe’s vocals combined with a rough edged production made sure this was a release that would cause a stir in the scene. And it did!

New Promo: Evoking Winds - Silent Down (Remastered) - (Atmospheric Black Metal / Folk) - @thebeast

Rerelease Date: Sep 14, 2021 FFO: Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Eldamar, Elderwind Bio: Atmospheric metal meets folklore fantasy in music by Evoking Winds. It’s a mixture of stormy blast beats with an epic ambiance and a healthy dose of Eastern Europe’s dark tales. The band was originally founded by Artyom Prishchepov together with Ivan Sereda in Belarus in 2008 as the way close friends created music together. They composed music for years just for fun and inspiration, and the band has eventually grown over a decade: adding Yaroslav Korotkin on vocals and bass, Sergey Shulzhenko (keys and orchestration), Dmitry Sarychau on guitars, and Alexander Cherepanov doing vocals. Today the musicians live around the world: Belarus, USA, China, Russia - and collaborate online. Recently they decided to re-mix and issue all of their music digitally available for everyone for free, featuring James Knoerl on drums and programming. Starting with the very first works they walk the journey again opening new chapters together. This sense of friendship is something everyone really started to value during pandemics and isolation. Press release: Back to our folklore roots, the album tells the dark and authentic tales we listened to as kids here in Eastern Europe. Its culture code reflects the way nature behaves here, where the land is covered with endless swamps and pre-historic woods. The lyrics (available at the Bandcamp along with free lossless downloads) are grounded by the philosophy of nature, life, and death, and leaning towards the atmospheric black metal sound comparing to the band's debut album.

Check it out here at this link: https://www.bathoryzine.com/2021/09/enthrallment-against-will-to-live-sky.html Release Date: September 25, 2021 FFO: Suffocation, Entombed,  Immolation Enthrallment started their existence at the end of the 90s- at the zenith of the death metal industry. In the summer of 1998 the band gathered the complete set of musicians and started a serious work on their first songs. A year later the band realized these songs into their first demo. Enthrallment distinguish from most of the death metal bands in the world with their originality. You never know what these guys will serve you in the next album. Also , they precisely mix USA and European death metal together with some kind of a more different sound and this makes them unique in the genre of death metal. Many musicians have played in the band and every one of them has left their style in the band's music and it can be seen in each release of the band. Their first concerts outside the borders of Bulgaria happened in the year 2004 when on the Serbian festival “Hellhammer” they shared the stage with the Czech band Hypnos and only a few days earlier they had gathered a great number of fans in one of the clubs for extreme music in Bucharest. They also had concerts on the same stage with Destruction, Obituary, Deicide, Vital Remains, Napalm Death, Mystic Circle and many more... It’s also worth mentioning their tour with   Malevolent Creation, Rotting Christ and Rotten Sound . In 2011 they played on the Obscene Extreme Festival . Enthrallment were formed in times of political and social turbulence. In these times the band went through a lot of changes and now they are moving forward, keep on creating new works of depravity.

Dan Lorenzo to host Ultimate Sinner on Sirius/XM! - @thebeast

ICYMI: Dan Lorenzo to host Ultimate Sinner on Sirius/XM ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.siriusxm.com/channels/ozzys-boneyard Former  Hades/Non-Fiction   guitarist and founding member  Dan Lorenzo  will host  Ultimate Sinner On  Sirius/XM's Ozzy's Boneyard this Wednesday September 22nd at noon EST. The show will rebroadcast  on Sunday September 26th at 9PM EST and again Monday September 27th at 6PM EST. Lorenzo is currently active with two bands,  Vessel Of Light  and  Cassius King . Both have releases on  Nomad Eel Records.  Vessel of Light is fronted by  Ancient VVisdom's Nathan Opposition  and Cassius King has  Jason   McMaster  on vocals.  Former Hades/Overkill  drummer  Ron Lipnicki  and former Hades bassist  Jimmy Schulman  are involved with both Vessel Of Light and Cassius King. Lorenzo will speak about the time COC's vocalist Karl Agill sang a Black Sabbath cover with Non-Fiction in North Carolina and the time Pantera's Phil Anselmo sang the Non-Fiction song The My Way to Lorenzo in California. Lorenzo will also play music by Alice In Chains, Kiss and Cassius King. CASSIUS KING Jason McMaster Vocals Ron Lipnicki drums Jimmy Schulman bass Dan Lorenzo guitars Fresh off of releasing their debut album Field Trip on California's Nomad Eel Records yesterday, Cassius King have just released their first full length video for the song Cleopatra's Needle. The video was produced by Jason C. Stewart who also produced the Last Ride and Torture King videos off the last Vessel Of Light album.  "Jason has become my go-to-guy the last year and a half." said guitarist Dan Lorenzo. "His enthusiasm is off the charts and at this point I let him to whatever he wanted for Cleopatra's Needle and I think it's just as much fun to watch as it is to listen to". Overkill's Bobby Blitz commented It's really  great, I even commented, which I never do .. .  "epic" got such an old school doom vibe, but never bores ...love the journey! Previous Cassius King press release below Former HADES founding member Dan Lorenzo has been using the CASSIUS KING moniker for years. From his debut  solo album to his endless cover song CDs with various lead vocalists. But it wasn't until 2021 when Lorenzo decided to  make an all original album with vocalist Jason McMaster ( WATCHTOWER/DANGEROUS TOYS/BROKEN TEETH/HOWLING SYCAMORE/IGNITOR ). Lorenzo released four albums in three years with his doom band VESSEL OF LIGHT when Coronavirus prevented any more live shows. "I had music to probably eight or nine more songs after VOL released Last Ride", Lorenzo said. "I didn't think the world was ready for a fifth Vessel Of Light album when we couldn't even play shows to support Last Ride. Jason sang multiple Cassius King cover songs with me and I had some music that was maybe a bit more like Hades plus a bluesy song I sent off to Jason. I was shocked how quickly Jason wrote and sang the first few songs so I recorded a few more brand new tunes. I asked Jason if he needed any help with melodies and he told me he did not. Jason said he could use some lyrical ideas though. I told that to Jimmy Schulman (Hades/Vessel Of Light) and he and Jason ended up collaborating lyrically on three songs." Schulman commented, "When Dan mentioned Jason needed some lyrical ideas, I was excited to be part of that process. Jason and I came at it a few different ways. Sometimes it was just texting back-and-forth with a line or two at a time until it took on shape. Another time, a long poem was crafted into a song. However it went though, it proved to be a cool and interesting collaboration." So what kind of music is the debut CASSIUS KING album Field Trip? Traditional heavy metal? Doom?  McMaster stated, "It was the kind of material I had been wanting to do for a long time. It feels a bit like Ozzy and Dio playing poker over some left over Sabbath material. The melodies came to me quickly, as well as some of the lyrics. Things I already had fit the visions I had upon first listen and it all flowed immediately. I would not call it a full "doom" application of terms, but, its heavy, it reminds me of what I love about Sabbath and Dio songs". Drummer Ron Lipnicki ( former Overkill current Vessel Of Light)said, "I think this new album's got something for everyone it's like the fruits all line up on the slot machine." That includes fans of Hades seminal release Resisting Success as Scott LePage plays leads on the songs I Move With The Moon and King of Lies. Cassius King Field Trip will feature cover art by Claudio Bergamin ( Judas Priest Firepower) . Nomad Eel Records have already released a vinyl single by Cassius King. Field Trip is out now Field Trip by Cassius King
