SANHEDRIN - Deal with Cruz Del Sur Music
SANHEDRIN, one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from the Brooklyn music scene, has signed with Cruz Del Sur Music for the April 27th European and May 4th North American vinyl release of their debut full-length, “A Funeral For The World”.
The 2014 creation of guitarist Jeremy Sosville (BLACK ANVIL) and drummer Nathan Honor, SANHEDRIN was eventually joined by former AMBER ASYLUM and LOST GOAT bassist/vocalist Erica Stoltz, whose vocal and lyrical exploits quickly became the perfect complement to the pair’s fledgling compositions. The trio produced a self-titled demo in 2015, but it wasn’t until “A Funeral For The World” did the band come into their own. Boasting a familiar, but not derivative sound, SANHEDRIN’s songwriting is rooted in the classics, translating into a fresh and honest take on rock and metal that easily crosses into doom, hard rock and stoner metal territory.
Live stints with ACID KING, CASTLE, CAULDRON, CRYPT SERMON, HELL FIRE, KHEMMIS, MAGIC CIRCLE and SATAN furthered honed SANHEDRIN’s approach, ultimately leading to Cruz Del Sur Music offering the band a deal.

SENTIENT HORROR - New EP ‘The Crypts Below’ - Details and First Song revealed
New Jersey based Death Metallers SENTIENT HORROR strike back with a new EP!
"The Crypts Below" will be released on 30th March 2018 via Testimony Records on CD, limited vinyl and digitally. The North American release will be handled by Redefining Darkness Records.
Featuring 4 new songs and a cover version of the EDGE OF SANITY classic "Darkday", it paints a beautifully haunting landscape that celebrates Death Metal’s past while carving a hollow path towards the future. The EP was produced by bandleader Matt Moliti, mixed by Damian Herring (Subterranean Watchtower Studios, Virginia USA) and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios. The cover artwork was created by Juanjo Castellano.
A first track, entitled "Bled Dry By The Night", and pre-order options are available at these locations: https://testimonyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sentient-horror-the-crypts-below +
Matt Moliti states: "The idea for this EP was to go for the throat and never let up. The songs came out fast, brutal, and a little more complex than the material on ‘Ungodly Forms’. No leftovers or B sides here... these tunes are solid from front to back, and I believe this will serve as a an excellent bridge point between our debut and whatever we wind up doing on the 2nd full length. Covering ‘Darkday’ was a blast. We've played it live a few times, and since Edge of Sanity is one of our biggest influences, it was an obvious choice for a cover."
Tracklist:
1. Enter Crypts Below
2. Bled Dry By The Night
3. Hatchet Crimes
4. Hell Marked
5. Darkday (Edge Of Sanity - Cover)

GRAVEYARD - 'Back To The Mausoleum' EP coming this April
Spanish Death Metallers GRAVEYARD return with a new EP!
To celebrate 10 years of madness, sonic debauchery and total Death Metal worship, GRAVEYARD decided that it was time to go back to the ‘House of Death / Mountains of Madness’ (a filthy garage up in the Castelldefels mountains), bring a trailer of equipment (and beers) and try to do something similar to their first ever demo "Into The Mausoleum", which was recorded right there shortly after the band's formation back in the day.
"Back To The Mausoleum" will be released on 27th April 2018 via War Anthem Records on CD and Vinyl and features a cover artwork Matt "Putrid" Carr. It was entirely written, rehearsed and recorded at this infamous 'House of Death', while the fine tuning with overdubs, solos and vocals was done at Moontower Studios owned by guitarist Javi Félez.
Check out the first track of this alcohol infused two-day-session (200 beers in 1 day - there you go…) at this location: https://soundcloud.com/war-anthem-records/graveyardes-an-epiphany-of-retribution
Tracklist:
1. Scorched Earth
2. And The Shadow Came
3. Craving Cries I Breath
