SUBORBITAL - Debut Album 'Planetary Disruption' via War Anthem Records - Track Premiere
 War Anthem Records proudly announces the debut full-length album of German Death Metallers SUBORBITAL!
"Planetary Disruption" will be released on November 4th 2022.
A video clip for the title track is premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/jq9gjasBxLg
"Planetary Disruption" seems like a time machine and reminds in many ways of milestones like Morbid Angel’s "Altars Of Madness", Nocturnus’ "The Key" or Pestilence’s "Spheres“ with its technichal yet catchy Death Metal riffing, exaggerated solo outbursts and tons of threatening-groovy parts. The fantastic analog mastering at World Famous Studios by hands of Pete De Boer (Blood Incantation, Faceless Burial, Spectral Wound) gives the whole production additional warmth and the necessary special feeling that reminds us of the time before today's usual standardized glossy productions.
A must for all those who mourn the blessed times of technical Florida Death Metal, as well as for fans of the new OSDM wave with bands like Skeletal Remains, Blood Incantation and Undeath.
Tracklist:
01. Planetary Disruption
02. Gyroscope
03. Solar Portal
04. Sands Of Uranus
05. Astral Chasm
06. Sicknature Of Galactic Imperium

DREAM UNENDING - Sophomore Album 'Song Of Salvation' via 20 Buck Spin - Details and Trackstream
 DREAM UNENDING, the atmospheric dream doom project of Derrick Vella (Tomb Mold) and Justin DeTore (Innumerable Forms, Sumerlands, Solemn Lament), will release their 2nd full-length "Song Of Salvation" on November 11th 2022 via 20 Buck Spin.
It was recorded by both Sean Pearson and Arthur Rizk and mixed/mastered by Arthur Rizk and J.K. Allison. The cover was painted by Benjamin A. Vierling
The first single, "Secret Grief", can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/GsfLcOWi__E +++ https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album/song-of-salvation
It features a guest vocal contribution from Phil Swanson, and the multi-talented Leila Abdul-Rauf of Vastum on trumpet.
The 2021 DREAM UNENDING debut album "Tide Turns Eternal" was a marked shift in musical ambition for Vella and DeTore. While structured with a foot firmly in Death/Doom, a far loftier purpose and progressivism was its hallmark, as such distancing itself from others pursuing the style. Now returning only a year later with the stunning "Song Of Salvation", that exploratory zeal is given substantially greater allowance to soar and shine. DREAM UNENDING’s rapid evolution on the boundless panorama of "Song Of Salvation" is, crucially and intrinsically, a continued departure from limiting genre norms and an adept redefining of them.
Tracklist:
1. Song of Salvation
2. Secret Grief
3. Murmur of Voices
4. Unrequited
5. Ecstatic Reign

FIRTAN - New Single "Labsal" available
 German Black Metallers FIRTAN have revealed another track from their upcoming new album.
Check out "Labsal" here: https://youtu.be/B83MRArjZTw
"Marter", FIRTAN's highly anticipated third full-length, will be released on September 30th 2022 via AOP Records on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Since their fortuitous formation in 2010, FIRTAN have been dedicated to a unique strain of extreme metal and have steadily built an enraptured audience across countless shows in their native Germany and abroad. Granted, the band's roots lay in black metal, particularly those pivotal days of the 1990s, but over the course of two acclaimed albums - 2014's "Niedergang" and especially 2018's "Okeanos" - FIRTAN have effortlessly integrated an eclecticism that has become more self-contained and increasingly kaleidoscopic. Now, they arguably deliver their masterwork: "Marter".
Immediately, the trademark FIRTAN sound is felt - riffing that's raging yet gorgeous, atmosphere that's autumnal yet cliche-free, compositions that span epic lengths yet remain judiciously compact - and "Marter" stuns after first listen. However, delve deeper and you'll find that FIRTAN have become more daring in their soundfield, incorporating more acoustics, synths, and strings to flesh out that always-poignant atmosphere. Amazingly, the band never busy up that soundfield; everything sounds rich and robust but in its proper place, every tone resounding endlessly through the soul. That FIRTAN take "Marter" in sometimes diametrically opposed directions - violent vs. restrained, explosive vs. placid, righteously black metal vs. something approaching neoclassical - often all during the course of a song, speaks to the band's masterful approach to songwriting. Some might even liken Marter to "post-black metal," which is okay with them: FIRTAN are simply performing their own interpretation of black metal.
Fittingly, the theme of Marter deals with the isolation of the modern individual who finds himself torn between spiritual hope and existential failure - and FIRTAN vividly paint this panorama in their most dazzling hues yet. And just like its massive predecessor, Marter was recorded at the esteemed studio Klangschmiede E with Markus Stock of The Vision Bleak/Empyrium. Completed by grandiose cover art courtesy of Władysław Podkowiński, Marter is a milestone of the dynamic German black metal scene - and FIRTAN have arrived as reigning kings.
Tracklist:
1. Faðir
2. Amor Fati
3. Labsal
4. Lethe
5. Parhelia
6. Odem
7. Menetekel
8. Peraht
9. Medomai (Bonus Track*)
*available on vinyl and CD boxset

TERAMAZE - New Album "Flight Of The Wounded" in October 2022 - New Video Clip "Gold" revealed
 Melbourne, Australia-based progressive metal band TERAMAZE have premiered their latest video for their brand new single "Gold".
You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/uDjmz2jVsBw
The animated video was created by Wayne Joyner who’s worked with bands such as Dream Theater, Alter Bridge or Devin Townsend.
Lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Dean Wells commented on the single by saying: “The song ‘Gold’ was the 1st piece of music we wrote from our latest album ‘Flight of the Wounded’. We actually wrote it shortly after releasing our 7th album ‘I Wonder’, back in 2020. The whole ‘I Wonder’ album dealt with very heavy subject matter, as the world was in chaos and everyone was having to face their own personal demons. I wanted to write something that was positive and hopeful. ‘Gold’ came together very quickly around late 2020… unfortunately it never seemed to fit on any of the other two albums we released in 2021. It really pissed off our drummer Nick cause he loved that song haha! Lucky for us, we write A TONNE of music and had enough material by mid 2022 to release another album (Flight of the Wounded’), that ‘Gold’ happens to fit perfectly on. As usual, fans can expect cool riffs, solos, epic orchestration and vocal hooks that get stuck in your ear. It’s one of my favourite tracks we’ve ever written as a band and I cannot wait to perform this one live!”
TERAMAZE’s 10th studio album "Flight Of The Wounded" will be released on October 6th 2022 via Wells Music.
