VULTURES VENGEANCE - Deal with Gates Of Hell Records
In November 2015, VULTURES VENGEANCE emerged out of nowhere with “Rising”, a tape release limited to 150 copies. The result was amazing, considering that the band has almost no internet presence. The tape sold-out in less than a month only by word of mouth, with a great, unexpected feedback, especially from Japan and Germany.
Compared to other bands devoted to the 80s sound, VULTURES VENGEANCE has a darker and dustier approach. Also thanks to an appropriate recording, their compositions sound as if they’ve been just found in a basement’s lost box. Adding their personal share, the band shows a virtuoso quality not easy to be found elsewhere.
Their 30-minute debut EP “Where The Time Dwelt In” features an amazing artwork by Lena Richter and will be released by Gates of Hell Records on October 7th 2016, in a strictly limited edition of 500 compact discs and 500 vinyls.
WINTERHORDE - New video available
Israeli extreme metalllers WINTERHORDE are releasing a brand new video for “Worms of Soul”, a track taken from their highly acclaimed album “Maestro”, which was released on May 20th this year by ViciSolum Productions.
The elegant and theatrical video was directed by the multi-talented Romanian artist Costin Chioreanu, who have previously worked with bands such as At the Gates, Carach Angren, Mayhem and many more.

HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY - New lyric video available
Today, heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com premieres a new lyric video for Harakiri for the Sky's "Funeral Dreams." Check it out at this location!
The track hails from the band's highly anticipated third album, III: Trauma, set for international release on July 22nd via Art of Propaganda. Released in 2014 by Art of Propaganda, Harakiri for the Sky's Aokigahara reaped widespread critical acclaim for its startling synthesis of skyscraping post-rock textures and emotive black metal fury. Breathtaking and torturous in equal measures, the highwater mark that Aokigahara set has somehow been eclipsed by III: Trauma. Immediately, the album kicks off with an 11-minute epic titled "Calling the Rain," and indeed do Harakiri for the Sky summon forces both natural and supernatural. As the record winds through seven more equally scintillating epics, III: Trauma swells and swirls, crests and crushes, effortlessly dancing between genres with nary an ounce of self-consciousness. Not for nothing is the album titled Trauma: the emotional landscapes the band travail scrape both the direst depths and fleetingly blissful extremes of the human psyche.
Tracklist:
1. Calling the Rain
2. Funeral Dreams
3. Thanatos
4. This Life as a Dagger
5. The Traces We Leave
6. Viaticum
7. Dry the River
8. Bury Me

COMET CONTROL - New song "Dig Out Your Head" premiered by the The Wall Street Journal
Toronto space rock band COMET CONTROL will release its stargazed sophomore album, Center Of The Maze on June 24 via Tee Pee Records. The band features vocalist / guitarist Chad Ross and guitarist Andrew Moszynski, each formerly of heavy psych champions QUEST FOR FIRE and garage rockers THE DEADLY SNAKES. In advance of the record's release, The Wall Street Journal premieres the new COMET CONTROL song, "Dig Out Your Head", calling it, "a gently propulsive tune with a soaring, psych-pop bounce". Rock "Dig Out Your Head" at this location!
“After years of living the night life, any reasonable person should clean up their act,” said Ross when asked to comment on "Dig Out Your Head". “I need to wake up early on a Sunday morning with a clear head, have a tea, put on a Del Shannon record, and walk the dog.”
Engineered by Josh Korody (Fucked Up, Moon King) at Candle Recording, and mastered by Carl Saff (Sweet Apple, Earthless), Center of the Maze is the follow-up to COMET CONTROL's 2014 self-titled debut, which was hailed as "psychedelia that surfs across the bluesy drone of The Black Angels and the melodic spaciousness of Swervedriver" by The A.V. Club. Ross and Moszynski are joined in COMET CONTROL by Nicole Howell (bass), Jay Anderson (drums) and Christopher Sandes (keys).
