WARLORD - New Album 'Free Spirit Soar' via High Roller Records - Track Premiere
 Epic Metal legends WARLORD return with a brand-new studio album, entitled "Free Spirit Soar", set for release on May 10th 2024 via High Roller Records.
The single "Conquerors" is premiered today and will also be released as a 7" single on April 12th.
Check out the lyric video for the song at this location: https://youtu.be/yskan54xlhY
With "Free Spirit Soar", singer Giles Lavery and drummer Mark Zonder honor their bandmate Bill Tsamis who passed away in 2021. They are joined by Jimmy Waldo on keyboards/synthesizer, Philip Bynoe on bass and Eric Juris on guitars.
"We wanted to finish these pieces of music that were started ‘for Bill’," explains Lavery, "and the material we felt was certainly strong enough to inspire us to do so." Regarding the guitar parts he specifies: "Bill is there where we could pull his tracks off the demo recordings, in much the same way the Beatles were recently able to rescue John Lennon’s voice from an old demo tape. however be assured this album is not 'a demo', nor does it sound like one, our new guitarist Eric does most of the heavy lifting as far the recording, but all of the music was written by Bill and we stayed very very faithful to what he wrote."

CIVEROUS - Sophomore Album "Maze Envy" via 20 Buck Spin - Video Premiere
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces the second full-length of LA’s most creatively destructive Death / Doom ensemble CIVEROUS, entitled "Maze Envy", to be released on March 22nd 2024.
A video clip for the track "Labyrinth Charm", featuring guest vocalist Derek Rydquist (The Zenith Passage, The Faceless), can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/9fZzjXbDsCQ
With the towering new album, CIVEROUS let loose a freshly evolved but no less brutal conflagration of immersive horror and morbid lamentation. Where Death / Doom may often stay in safe and unadventerous realms of narrow focus, "Maze Envy" presents a more far-reaching breadth of ambition, where unusual technicality, progressive atmospheres, string flourishes and chaotic mysticism radiate a purple light of the soul’s ascension from the black oceans of dread CIVEROUS inhabit. Chain-dragging dirge, blackened blasting, and the savage ferocity of Lord Foul’s hellish vocal exorcisms exalt "Mazy Envy" with a hellish grandeur within its myriad paths to oblivion.
With a massively crushing sound, "Maze Envy" is end times music for an age in which that reckoning feels unfathomably close. CIVEROUS batter the senses into a state of labyrinthian turmoil from which emergence is ever more implausible.
Recorded, mixed and produced by Andrew Solis at Deadstare Audio. Mastered by Nick Townsend at Infrasonic Sound. Cover art by Juanjo Castellano (Majesties, Voidceremony, Avulsed, Gates of Ishtar).
Tracklist:
1. The Azure Eye
2. Shrouded in Crystals
3. Endless Symmetry
4. Labyrinth Charm (feat. Derek Rydquist)
5. Levitation Tomb
6. Maze Envy
7. Geryon (The Plummet)

THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION - New Album "Goodnight My Children" via Cruz Del Sur Music - Details, Video Clip and European Tourdates 2024
 Indomitable Australian rockers THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION return with their sixth album "Goodnight My Children"!
A collection of feverish nighttime stories set to uproarious pure rock with a pop twist, to be released on March 8th 2024 via Cruz Del Sur Music.
Inspired by the carefree and reckless Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, "Goodnight My Children" finds THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION leaning into the poppier regions of their sound (think the Sunset Strip merging with late 1970s radio rock). The album’s eight cuts bang and mash with pure rock fervor, complete with roaring guitar solos and the always-memorable, convincing, enticing and mesmerizing “The Imperial Priestess,” otherwise known as Screamin’ Loz Sutch, on lead vocals.
Sutch’s spellbinding vocal performance lent perfectly to the theme of "Goodnight My Children", which symbolizes a collection of nighttime stories that, no matter how horrifying, leave the listener in the caring embrace of Sutch, the Imperial Priestess. And, as an added bonus, fans will be treated to an illustrated book of fairy tales that will accompany the release.
A video clip for the first new single, the album's opening track "Let Us Begin", is available here: https://youtu.be/ZWdU5Vo2Oag
Furthermore, 2024 will find THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION making its long-awaited return to European shores for a round of tour dates: http://www.theneptunepowerfederation.com/europe-2024.html
Tracklist:
1. Let Us Begin
2. Lock & Key
3. Twas A Lie
4. Woe Be Father's Troubled Mind
5. Betrothed To The Serpent
6. Evermore
7. Hariette Mae
8. Goodnight My Children

SLIMELORD - Debut Album "Chytridiomycosis Relinquished" via 20 Buck Spin - Track Premiere
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces the debut full-length of England’s most peculiar Death Metal oddity, SLIMELORD!
"Chytridiomycosis Relinquished" will be released on March 8th 2024 on LP, CD, tape and in digital formats.
It was recorded by Adam Rogers (PitLab) at Millwright Studio in Boom, Leeds / England and mixed & mastered by Damian Herring at Subterranean Watchtower. The artwork was created by Brad Moore (Tomb Mold, Worm).
Following on from several lauded EP releases of swampy Death & Doom strangeness, on "Chytridiomycosis Relinquished" SLIMELORD are at their most blisteringly Death Metal yet in terms of speed and heaviness. The humongous riffing coupled with their established pedigree for summoning dreamy zoned-out repetitions and improvised unorthodoxy is built upon layered effects pedals and even field recordings to add an atmosphere of extreme density and eccentric mythos creation, resulting in total immersion within the murk.
With Brad Moore’s cinematic and uncanny visual landscapes bringing SLIMELORD’s surreal saga into vivid reality, and additional story layers beyond the lyrics included in the release, "Chytridiomycosis Relinquished" presents an enormous progression of musical composition and production value. A fully formed operatic fantasy adventure in all respects, SLIMELORD’s comprehensive musical and aesthetic vision penetrates like a fungus into the substrate upon which it feeds.
Check out the album’s opening track, "The Beckoning Bell", at this location: https://youtu.be/YDxaoflAPjM
Tracklist:
1. The Beckoning Bell
2. Gut-Brain Axis
3. Splayed Mudscape
4. Batrachomorpha Resurrections Chamber
5. The Hissing Moor
6. Tidal Slaughtermarsh
7. Heroic Demise

PROFANE BURIAL - Sophomore Album "My Plateau" via Crime Records - Details and Video Clip revealed
 Crime Records proudly announces the new album of Norwegian Cinematic Black Metallers PROFANE BURIAL!
"My Plateau" is set for release on March 1st 2024 on CD, LP and digitally.
PROFANE BURIAL presents an atmospheric, dismal, and grim journey through unsanctified Cinematic Black Metal, a sub-genre often featuring atmospheric and symphonic elements, drawing inspiration from film scores and other forms of orchestral music.
The sophomore album is very intense and has a more extreme approach than their debut "The Rosewater Park Legend" from 2018. It leans even further towards Black Metal, not only due to the high-pitched vocals but also because of the significant use of traditional tremolo guitars. The songs are quite intricate and progressive in both tempo and time signatures.
"My Plateau" was mixed & mastered by Børge Finstad at Toproom Studio. The cover artwork was created by Sondre Tajet Søbyskogen.
A video clip for the title track can be checked out at this location: https://youtu.be/hfQ8BM8IOe4
PROFANE BURIAL’s line-up is featuring members known from acts such as Borknagar, Funeral, Trollfest, Cadaver, Haimad, Abyssic, Images At Twilight, Khora, and Omnia Moritur.
Tracklist:
1. My Plateau
2. Moribund
3. Fragments Of Dirge
4. Righteous Indoctrination
5. Disambiguate Eradication
6. Horror Code

BLOOD RED THRONE - New Track Premiere - New Album 'Nonagon' out on January 26th via Soulseller Records
 Norwegian Death Metal kings BLOOD RED THRONE have revealed the final single from their upcoming new album "Nonagon", to be unleashed on January 26th 2024 via Soulseller Records.
"Seeking To Pierce" is streaming here: https://youtu.be/aNYeV8lQVIk
With "Nonagon", BLOOD RED THRONE celebrate 26 years in the scene and deliver their 11th and strongest release so far!
The album was mixed and mastered by Ronnie Björnström (at Bjornstromsound) and features a cover artwork by Giannis Nakos / Remedy Art Design.
Band founder / guitarist Daniel "Død" Olaisen comments: "Blood Red Throne has always been a combination of groove and brutality. While keeping true to the BRT sound and feel, 'Nonagon' feels fresh and new. The lyrics for the album are loosely based on the nine concentric circles of torment described in 'Inferno' by Dante. The album has nine songs and it would be fitting to conceptualize around that. That being said, every lyric is up for interpretation and I encourage people to find their own meaning and themes based on it."
