SIJJIN to release debut demo, distributed by SEPULCHRAL VOICE – includes NECROS CHRISTOS members+++

Sepulchral Voice Records is proud to distribute Sijjin‘s striking debut demo, Angel of the Eastern Gate, on cassette tape format.

Although a brand-new entity in name, Sijjin actually includes a wealth of experience within their ranks: both vocalist/bassist Malte Gericke and drummer Iván Hernández hail from underground legends Necros Christos, while fleet-fingered guitarist Ekaitz Garmendia has a long history of thrash with Spain’s Extinction, Legen Beltza, and The Great Wound. Together, under the moniker of Sijjin – Hell is Sijjin / Sijjin is in Hell – the power-trio transcend their past with a powerful iteration of timeless, thrashing death metal.

With Gericke handling the lyrics with his customary aplomb and the whole band writing everything together, it’s no wonder that Angel of the Eastern Gate is a neckbreaking whirlwind of epic deathrash. Sijjin‘s execution here is literally sharp – like, RAZOR-fucking-SHARP – and their songwriting suitably surges and sidesteps with malicious intent. Mind-melted solos divebomb with devilish delight, and often. Atop, Gericke’s throat of Hell heralds the hordes onward like the lord of all fevers and plagues.

References to be made include classic Necrovore, The Eyes of Horror-era Possessed, and Blackfire-era Sodom but most especially early Incubus and ’80s Morbid Angel. However, far from being a “blast from the past,” Sijjin recast this noble foundation in the present, seeking hellish victory – which is most undoubtedly assured once Sepulchral Voice releases Angel of the Eastern Gate on CD and vinyl in the coming year. Talks have commenced regarding the label releasing the band’s imminent debut album, but that doom shall dawn some other day…

In the meantime, stream the entirety of Angel of the Eastern Gate at Sijjin‘s Bandcamp here:

Irish black metal enigma Fuil Na Seanchoille streams second album, The Crossing

FUIL NA SEANCHOILLE stream new ME SACO UN OJO / TOUR DE GARDE album at “Decibel” magazine’s website

Today, Irish black metal enigma Fuil Na Seanchoille streams its highly anticipated second album, The Crossing.
Set for international release on November 14th via Me Saco Un Ojo Ojo in conspiracy with Tour de Garde, hear Fuil Na Seanchoille‘s The Crossing in its entirety here:
Formed in 2008, Fuil Na Seanchoille is a black metal entity hailing from Ireland, helmed by mainman Satyrign, whose experience in the international hardcore-punk underground is incredibly prolific. Two demos resulted those first two years, which would later be released together on vinyl by Me Saco Un Ojo Ojo in 2012. Completely DIY, Fuil Na Seanchoille‘s first two demos were remarkably developed, evincing a psychedelic bestiality that ravaged the body and bent the mind in equal measure. In 2011 came the band’s debut album, Hunger, first released on cassette by Tour de Garde and then on vinyl by Me Saco Un Ojo Ojo. Expanding on the demos’ firm & filthy foundation, here Satyrign explored a unique “complex simplicity,” entrancing the listener with a strangely alluring sort of grime.

Alas, those dualities have reached an apotheosis with Fuil Na Seanchoille‘s long-awaited second album, The Crossing. Horror and beauty, the beast vs. transcendent man, strident minimalism colliding with labyrinthine layering: The Crossing is indeed an ambitious work, comprised of a single 29-minute composition formed over an eight-year period, crafted to induce maximum out-of-body/out-of-mind exploration. Black metal is undoubtedly the framework for Fuil Na Seanchoille still, yet the manner in which Satyrign here wields it is incredibly idiosyncratic, to say the least. Lapping waves upon a distant forlorn shore, The Crossing begins with a plaintive female voice singing a funereal lament in Gaelic (to wit: the band’s moniker means “Blood of the Old Forest” in same), and a tense placidity is heightened as the record plays on, until sparkling shimmers of chorused guitar and gurgling bass explode into a torrent of emotion. From there, the catharsis continues to build, on and on and on, infinitely so yet circumscribing the listener’s headspace, dwarfing that listener when contemplating the enormity of this experience. Still, like any journey at some point, a kindling of hope lingers…or does it?

Sick and cyclic, The Crossing beckons the hardiest of travelers, both dungeon trawlers and cosmonauts alike. Fuil Na Seanchoille point the way – and may perhaps even pierce the veil – will you journey through that void?

Also on November 14th, CD editions of the self-titled compilation and Hunger (both remastered at Enormous Door) will be issued alongside a limited cassette containing reinterpretations of The Cure and Dead Can Dance.

Thrash outfit INSANITY ALERT are the kind of people who know what to bring to a party: a big dose of humour with a dash of darkness, party tunes, and a six pack. It’s these ingredients that make up the basis of the band’s third full length record, ‘666-pack’.
 
The world of INSANITY ALERT is a dark yet happy place. Fast, aggressive music, crazy lyrics about alcohol, rage, weed, ignorance and hate, all drenched in an 80’s hot sauce but played with a 2019 attitude. The band emerged from the Austrian city of Innsbruck in 2011, with only one intent: deliver crushing, crossover party thrash.
 
A tongue-in-cheek concept backed up by strong musical prowess worked out extremely well as ‘First Diagnosis’ proved in 2012. This demo was welcomed with open arms and the first impression of the public quickly confirmed by ‘Second Opinion’, which came out the year after. In 2014, debut album, ‘Insanity Alert’ delighted critics and fans alike and was reissued four years later by Season of Mist. The wild Tyrolians, always eager to please, next served a juicy ‘Moshburger’ (2016).

With ‘666-pack’ the band proves once more to be an unstoppable force. Whether it is dropping a to-the-point, crossover track such as “The Body Of The Christ is The Parasite” or INSANITY ALERT-esque interpretations of classics like “Saturday Grind Fever”, the groove will have you headbanging in no time with a smirk on your face. Having confirmed their first festivals for 2019 and riding the wave of the thrash metal revival, INSANITY ALERT can’t wait to return to the stage and share (a) 666-pack with you! 
Style: Crossover Party Thrash

NEFARIOUS SPIRIT and VOID PRAYER to release split album via GOATOWAREX

On December 1st internationally, Goatowarex is proud to present a special split album between Nefarious Spirit and Void Prayer on vinyl LP format.

A momentous meeting, fully utilizing the intrinsic value of a split release (compared to so much throwaway garbage otherwise characterizing most “split releases”), this six-song/34-minute communion brings together one upstart entity and one prolific force, both equally clandestine in their respective black metal magick, and featuring fully exclusive songs from both hordes. With but a demo from 2016 to their name, Nefarious Spirit are a shadowy newcomer hailing from Greece, their membership so far unknown. Regardless, they lead off this split LP with two conjurings of stout, hammering militancy, their riffing cryogenic yet paradoxically exuding a burning fire; they also prove their physicality with a live track here. With one pulsing wave after another, Nefarious Spirit altogether evoke a timeless sort of tension and terror, harkening back to black metal’s far-more-secretive days. Similarly, Void Prayer have astutely and studiously explored that era of black metal – first, prolifically under the moniker of Cave Ritual from 2012-17, and more recently under their current moniker across two demos and a modern-classic album, 2017’s Stillbirth From the Psychotic Void. Of course, those well versed in the modern black metal underground will recognize Void Prayer as part of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ever-vital Black Plague Circle, so their three songs here should be mandatory listening for that collective’s fervent followers. And hearing their contributions here – deliriously, devilishly melodic, swirling into a sumptuous vortex of atmosphere and agony, emotion and ecstasy – it’s no wonder Void Prayer have garnered attention beyond diehard circles.

Ending all life with sombre finality, Void Prayer and Nefarious Spirit will equally instill possession with this split album courtesy of the Goatowarex stronghold, fittingly executed on noble vinyl to the label’s strictest, highest standards.

Depressive black metal pioneers Nocturnal Depression premiere new track

Today, depressive black metal pioneers Nocturnal Depression premiere the new track “Living in a Mass Grave”. The track hails from the band’s highly anticipated ninth album, Tides of Despair, set for international release on November 25th via Sun & Moon Records.

Hear Nocturnal Depression‘s “Living in a Mass Grave” in its entirety here:
French masters of nostalgic, depressive black metal, Nocturnal Depression return with their latest opus, the ever-aptly-titled Tides of Despair. A special occasion to say the very least, 2019 sees the return of Herr Suizid, founding member of the band who left in 2012, rejoining with fellow founder Lord Lokhraed. As a result, Tides of Despair has all the elements which make Nocturnal Depression stand out from all the thousands of cliche DSBM pretenders, many of whom were inspired by the band’s pioneering early works in the mid-2000s: immediately memorable riffs, achingly melodic leads, dramatic tension, and altogether dynamic songwriting.
  Surprisingly, Tides of Despair begins in quite a positive manner – but deceptively so, as Nocturnal Depression soon embark on a gloomy, atmospheric journey, guiding the listener onward into an exhaustingly emotional turmoil. Claustrophobic somberness comes to a climax on the perfectly titled “Living in a Mass Grave,” forlorn acoustic moments abound, despair and depression suitably mark songs like “Solitude and Despair Again” and “Farewell Letter,” epic gloom in “Muse of Suicide,” and all concluding with the bleak and melancholic “Reveries.” Throughout, the surprises continue with the integration of French horn, pianos, chimes, and bells, with a multitude of guests from different bands (Psychonaut 4, Sarkrista, Tulpa, Darkend, Selvans) making the album even more refreshing.   Completed by mixing & mastering courtesy of Alessandro “Algol” Comerio from Forgotten Tomb/Hiems, Nocturnal Depression prove with Tides of Despair that both the past is alive and the future is bleak!

JORDABLOD set release date for new IRON BONEHEAD album, reveal first track

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces January 24th, 2020 as the international release date for Jordablod‘s highly anticipated second album, The Cabinet of Numinous Song, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

It was but 2017 when Jordablod burst from the void, fully formed, with their bold ‘n’ visionary debut album, Upon My Creation Pyre, courtesy of Iron Bonehead. A seemingly simple goal, the Swedish trio aimed to assemble the finest fragments of music and noise from all corners of the world, resulting in a grand diversity, but always maintaining the deepest awe for the core elements of black metal and death metal in its thematic and lyrical aspects. And indeed did Upon My Creation Pyre accomplish that, and then some: a work written in fire and ash, delivered with innermost devotion and passion. It was the documentation of a journey through mystical experience, from the initial touch by the divine, through ritual and meditations, to the ultimate initiation that is the cremation pyre.

Thus, if their debut was the death of the flesh but the liberation of the spirit, Jordablod find further resolution and wisdom within the spectral expanses of The Cabinet of Numinous Song. Duly titled, The Cabinet of Numinous Song weaves together fanciful-yet-frazzled threads of seemingly disparate frequencies, from hypnotically hovering black metal to sensually shimmering post-punk, from gnarled ‘n’ gnashing death metal to plaintive ‘n’ pastoral loner-folk. Far from a schizophrenic mess, Jordablod wield an elusive and profuse sort of magick – a sonic alchemy, if you will – that allows them to firmly/gently guide the listener across alien terrain, the album’s seven songs each a landscape unto itself but comingling and coalescing into a grand tapestry that’s truly Numinous Song. In fact, the album’s 42-minute runtime reaches so deeply into the soul that you’d mistake this Cabinet for being both far shorter and far longer than that…

From the opening “A Grand Unveiling” to the closing “To Bleed Gold,” from “The Two Wings of Becoming” to “The Beauty of Every Wound,” Jordablod successively expand the consciousness and celebrate the renewing powers of transformation. More impossibly dazzling than ever, eclipsing the definition of “bold” and going beyond it, here resides The Cabinet of Numinous Song.

Enter the Cabinet with the brand-new track “The Beauty of Every Wound” here:

Total playing time: 35:24
DEFILED come yet again, barging in like some crusty Godzilla made out of the stuff polished tech death nightmares are made from. The revered Samurai of death metal crush through the spiral ganglion with a sound rawer than shark sushi that still bites. 

This time it took the Japanese three years to deliver a follow-up to the critically acclaimed ‘Towards Inevitable Ruin’ (2016) which was not pretty, nor pretending to be. Instead, they reduced death metal to the bare bones and with this, showing its naked brutality.

‘In Crisis’ (2011), which came out eight years after ‘Divination’ (2003) shook the world awake to the band from the Land of the Rising Sun. DEFILED climbed to the top of Asia’s death metal scene with the release of their self-financed EP ‘Defeat of Sanity’ (1994) two years after their inception. Founded in Tokyo, they quickly combined the brutal and technical aspects of this mad metropolis into their own unique sound. Their first album ‘Erupted Wrath’ (1999) was mixed by genre legend Jim Morris in Tampa, Florida, who returned to work on sophomore opus ‘Ugliness Revealed’ (2001) as well as third full-length ‘Divination’. The Japanese opened for extreme metal legends such as CANNIBAL CORPSE, MORBID ANGEL and toured with INCANTATION and MAYHEM to name but a few.

DEFILED are back with a bang. ‘Infinite Regress’ is not for the faint of heart or intended for easy listening, but when giving the new monster some spins, the apparent fragments start to drift together once more– starting from a catchy fill, riff or grating grunt that morph into a strange hook relentlessly driving its spike into the brain.

LURKER OF CHALICE to release demos collection through NUCLEAR WAR NOW!, reveals first track

Today, Nuclear War Now! Productions sets March 1st, 2020 as the international release date for a special demos collection/reimagining from the enigmatic Lurker of Chalice. Titled Tellurian Slaked Furnace, it shall be released on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Active from 2001-2005, the highly revered side-project of Leviathan’s Jef Whitehead, Lurker of Chalice, is mostly known for the 2005 self-titled full-length. Prior to that album, however, Wrest recorded two CD-R demos under the Lurker of Chalice name, each of which was limited to approximately 50 copies or less and sold at a single record store in San Francisco, near where he was living at the time. Like the full-length, both demos were eponymous, though the first demo was identified only by the initials “L.O.C.” written in runes. While a few of the songs from the demo era bear indicia of black metal, the material from that period is generally far more experimental, defying any effort to be neatly categorized.

For Tellurian Slaked Furnace, Wrest has distilled the best material from the early period of the project and edited, collaged, and compiled it, weaving together something more coherent and album-like. In this way, there seems to be something of his current artistic sensibility projected onto these recordings from nearly two decades earlier.

In keeping with the confusing taxonomy of the project, the tracks on this LP are unnamed. The album opens with a song previously called “Lurker of Chalice” on the 2002 demo but is untitled on this release. The song showcases the haunting minimalism of Lurker of Chalice as slow acoustic guitars revolve around one another, arpeggiated chords ringing out above percussive accents. With the second track, a more sinister energy emerges, advanced by the first and only appearance of Wrest’s seething vocals.

Over the full, 70-minute duration of this album, the music, almost completely instrumental, expands and contracts, evolves and disintegrates. Delicate ambient passages and labyrinthine excursions give way to electronic dirges of lumbering percussion with guitar shimmering transcendent above a melancholic lake of atmospheric sound and cascading sheets of electronics dissolving into lush acoustic melodies. Only very rarely do heavy riffs emerge; compared with Wrest’s work in Leviathan, or even the Lurker of Chalice album, the metal elements are far less direct and overt. Instead, this album conjures a bleak, unsettling mood without resorting to the compositional trappings of black metal. The music, which strangely seems both intensely personal, yet also detached and cinematic, evokes a palpable sense of solitude—the disconsolate reckoning of the self in the absence of others.

The release of Tellurian Slaked Furnace marks the first time any of the Lurker of Chalice demo recordings have been reissued and also offers a substantial amount of previously unheard material.

Reanimated Finnish black metal cult Black Beast stream the entirety of their LONG-awaited debut album, Nocturnal Bloodlust

Today, reanimated Finnish black metal cult Black Beast stream the entirety of their LONG-awaited debut album, Nocturnal Bloodlust . Set for international release on November 8th via Primitive Reaction, hear Black Beast‘s Nocturnal Bloodlust in its entirety here:
Formed in the dark days of 2002, Black Beast made their public debut in 2005 with a self-titled 7″ EP. Back then, the band’s native black metal underground was making an international name for itself, and has since established itself as one of black metal’s most immediately identifiable idioms, not to mention one of the most enduring. The Black Beast EP introduced the duo with violent, vulgar aplomb, slotting well alongside their erstwhile Finnish contemporaries and yet exhibiting a refreshingly Motorheaded aspect (or at least one Venomous). They quickly capitalized on that enviable momentum with an even stronger showing the next year on a split album with comrades Bloodhammer, which was the first release by a then-young Primitive Reaction. Then, nothing…the Black Beast name sadly receded into the shadows.

Alas, bad habits die hard and ugliness is forever, and at long last, Black Beast deliver a full-length recording. Aptly titled Nocturnal Bloodlust, the now-trio’s debut album picks up exactly where they left off with the Bloodhammer split LP – as if an unlucky 13 years hadn’t passed – and then pumps the shocking waste full of narcotics and, yes, nocturnal bloodlust. Charging hard, giving no quarter, Black Beast whip forth an infinitely headbanging fury here, a resolutely asskicking Motorcharge that’s nevertheless not short on atmosphere. It’s purely and proudly all-caps BLACK METAL – after all, are they not monikered Black Beast? – and poignantly proves that, sometimes, the most singleminded focus yields the most gripping results.

Indeed, Nocturnal Bloodlust possesses a grip of near-anthems (eight total, as well as a show-opening “Prelude” banger); by “near,” we make clear that the band do NOT write “hits” for “the fans” or crowd approval or other dumb bullshit. Rather, Black Beast offer unyielding obeisance to Satan, as all true black metal should, and declare as much on the album’s final two tracks, “Fist of the Devil” and “Symbol for My Devotion.” Through it all, the album exudes a raw-yet-robust production, thick and viscous but just as equally emitting space and shade, ably highlighting that this recording does, in fact, feature actual humans playing actual music – not cut ‘n’ paste computer crap, like so much nowadays “extreme metal.”

Older, uglier, but just as hungry as the far-more-unforgiving days of the black metal underground from which they spawned, Black Beast have returned to claim their rightful dark throne with Nocturnal Bloodlust! Step fully forward to that throne exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSinging.com.

The album-release gig shall take place at the SteelChaos festival November 8-9th in Helsinki, Finland. Also on the same release date shall Unholy Finnish Black Horror Union, the aforementioned split album with Bloodhammer, shall be reissued by Primitive Reaction on CD and, for the first time ever, vinyl LP and cassette tape formats.

IN OBSCURITY REVEALED set release date for BLOOD HARVEST debut album, reveal first tracks

Today, Blood Harvest Records sets December 13th as the international release date for In Obscurity Revealed‘s highly anticipated debut album, Glorious Impurity, on CD and cassette tape formats. The 12″ vinyl version shall follow on January 31st, 2020.

It was but 2016 when we last heard from In Obscurity Revealed, and reveal did the Mexican quartet a throttling two-song 7″ for Blood Harvest aptly titled Grim Fumes of Revelation. Now, at long last, arrives an equally aptly titled debut album: Glorious Impurity. Retaining the same rudiments as that preceding quick strike, In Obscurity Revealed‘s first full-length is a nine-song/37-minute plunge into ancient sulfur. Rabid and roiling, their blackened death metal (or is that deathened black metal?) breathes the madness of their southern climes whilst honoring a host of international influences. It’s warfare noise that bears sadistic intent as it crosses the chasm into the cenotaph, as these four maniacs explode forth with scabrous, raw, yet clearly articulated darkness ‘n’ distress. Fierce and feral and imbued with an occult aura, Glorious Impurity is everything its title portends, and ominously more. Perhaps a cursory reading of the album’s component song titles – “Our Crimson Madness,” “Beast and Serpent,” and “Congress Cum Rampage” are but a few – more colorfully elucidates its content…

Step into the ritual chamber or engage in sexual carnage, it matters not – only the Glorious Impurity brazenly engaged in and vulgarly revealed by In Obscurity Revealed!

Take the first steps into that ritual chamber with the new tracks “Our Crimson Madness” and “Pestilent Breath” here:
