OBNOXIOUS YOUTH - Total Speed Metal Rager return with new album "Burning Savage" via Svart Music
 The Swedish-Finnish speed and thrash metal quintet OBNOXIOUS YOUTH is back with a bang after four-yearbreak. New album "Burning Savage" will be out on 18th October 2024 via Svart Music, and the band releases a single and a video for the album’s title track today.
A total speed metal rager manifesting the driving force behind the onslaught, that is OBNOXIOUS YOUTH. A sexual flame and a satanic force of nature. An urge to discover and embrace the primitive flame that grows inside. Succumb to the Burning fucking Savage ”Affe Phantasma” Piran, the vocalist of OBNOXIOUS YOUTH, manifests.
Feel the fire and watch the brand-new video here: https://youtu.be/lEk1T-Ik-xw +++ https://orcd.co/burningsavage
The sperm of Satan’s cock aka the OBNOXIOUS YOUTH was born in 2005 in Uppsala/Sweden. But the fully fledged and perverted behemoth that stands before you today was an international collaboration brought to life in 2009 by John ”Zeke” Finne, Affe ”Phantasma” Piran and Frans ”Cult” Utterström. But today Edde ”Shit” Aftonfalk and Lukas ”Spine” Hägerare added to the live lineup of the band.
The purpose of the band was to break boundaries and to return to the time when extreme music didn’t have any rules or regulations. When there was no ”death metal” or ”thrash metal”, when there was just ”metal” or ”punk”. Just channeling the most insane music that was humanly possible. Using methods that was founded in the 80’s, OBNOXIOUS YOUTH fully enclose itself and gets swallowed by the power of extreme music and getting influences from a feeling rather than other bands. Taking the listeners back to a time when heavy music was something to fear.
In 2012 the band received a Manifest Award for the debut album "The Eternal Void" and has since then released two EP’s ("Suck on The Cross", 2013 and Mouths Sewn Shut", 2020) and one more full length album "Disturbing the Gravesin" 2017. They have established themselves as a fierce live band that leaves no one unaffected. Members of OBNOXIOUS YOUTH has played in or currently plays in bands such as Vorum, Undergång, Endtime, Reveal!, Morbus Chron, Century, Tøronto, Degial, Begravningsentreprenörerna, Entombed and No Future.
In November 2024, OBNOXIOUS YOUTH will be touring Europe in support of their new album "Burning Savage", starting off with a release gig together with Norwegian maniacs Nekromantheon at Hus 7 in Stockholm the 9th of November. More live shows to come during 2025: this is the just the beginning.Svart Records release OBNOXIOUS YOUTH’s new album "Burning Savage" 18th of October 2024 on black, transparent redand limited yellow/red/black marble vinyl versions –and of course on glorious CD.

SERVANTS TO THE TIDE - Sophomore Album "Where Time Will Come To Die" via No Remorse Records - Video Clip Premiere
 No Remorse Records proudly announces the sophomore full-length of German Epic Doom Metallers SERVANTS TO THE TIDE, entitled "Where Time Will Come To Die".
From Alpha to Omega - the band’s new album takes the listener on a journey through the history of existence itself: From the Big Bang, through the first rays of light on Earth, to a possible dark future for mankind and, finally, the inevitable cold death of the universe - the place where even time itself will die.
Three years after the acclaimed self-titled debut album, SERVANTS TO THE TIDE matured into a full-fledged five-piece band. As a result, “Where Time Will Come To Die” is more dynamic, versatile and lively, bolder in its songwriting, and an album that we are sure will leave a lasting impression.
“After the release of our debut album, we took our time not only to grow together as a real band, but to write and refine the songs that you are about to hear”, founder and songwriter Leonid Rubinstein adds and continues, “’Where Time Will Come To Die’ is an ambitious album that pushes the borders of SERVANTS TO THE TIDE into lots of exciting directions, we got everything from a no-bullshit-Heavy Metal-banger to a 10-and-a-half-minutes monolith, from a piano ballad to a synth-laden piece of molten lava Doom. We hope you enjoy listening to this album as much as we did making it.”
"Where Time Will Come To Die" will be out on July 19th, 2024 on CD, LP and digitally.

SCALD - New Album Ancient Doom Metal via High Roller Records - Track Premiere
 High Roller Records proudly announce the new full-length album of Russian Epic Doom Metallers SCALD.
"Ancient Doom Metal", the follow-up to 1997’s classic debut "Will Of The Gods Is Great Power“, will be released on July 26th 2024.
After a one-off live appearance at the Hammer Of Doom festival in 2019 and a 7” single called »There Flies Our Wail!« on High Roller in 2021, SCALD are back for good with a brand new studio album aptly christened »Ancient Doom Metal«. It was recorded by the four original SCALD members Velingor (bass), Harald (guitars), Karry (guitars), Ottar (drums and percussion) plus Felipe Plaza Kutzbach (known for his work with Procession and Capilla Ardiente) on vocals.
Bassist Velingor indeed sees a direct spiritual connection between SCALD’s original debut album »Will Of The Gods Is Great Power« and their brand new offering: “Despite the fact that the first Scald album was composed and recorded back in the 90s, and »Ancient Doom Metal« was created during last three years, they are worked in the same style. Both albums are filled with the same atmosphere – that of the north, of ancient Scandinavia and Russia. In both cases the music and lyrics are based on mythology and mysticism of these regions. Of course, now we have become much more experienced musically than in the 90s, but we tried to keep the epic vibe of northern cold vastness, the very same we managed to create back then. And it is very important that Felipe feels and expresses it as well as we do.”
As Velingor explains, songs like the haunting “The Master Of The Lake” are quite heavily influenced not only by classic epic doom metal but also folk music: “We sometimes use elements of not only Slavic, but folk music of the North in general. But it's worth noting that SCALD is not a folk metal band. Therefore, these elements do not prevail in our creativity. As for ‘The Master Of The Lake’ – this song is filled to the brim, both in music and in lyrics, with the dark, cold mysticism of the North.”
“As for the lyrics in general”, he continues, “it was me who was responsible for the basic ideas. I found inspiration in ancient Scandinavian, Slavic and Finno-Ugric legends (after all, our entire Yaroslavl homeland in ancient times was a crossroads of all these cultures), and used some scientific articles on the subject.”
A first track, entitled "ALU (My Protection)", has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/3tKDfqcE4mw

Tracklist:
1. Ancient Doom Metal

BOMBUS - Deal With Black Lodge Records - New Album in 2024
 The mighty BOMBUS is now a part of the Black Lodge Records family! The Swedish metal act has inked a deal with Black Lodge Records and will release their fifth full-length and long-awaited album, "Your Blood", later this year.
A Vulgar Display of Metal 'n' Roll : Gothenburg’s BOMBUS returns with their new album, "Your Blood", marking the dawn of a fresh musical chapter. With this album, BOMBUS ventures down a somewhat different path, yet fans need not worry; the essence of BOMBUS remains intact. "Your Blood" is classic BOMBUS with a twist - a blend of heavy metal and classic rock, layered with modern elements.
Musical Evolution : The songs and production of "Your Blood" reveal a band expanding their sonic horizons. The album traverses from heavy metal to classic rock, introducing a more melodic side not previously featured. Despite these new directions, the band's core sound - heavy, raw, and unmistakably BOMBUS - persists.
Produced with Precision : "We decided early to record 'Your Blood' ourselves, without external influences," the band explains. This self-reliance allowed for a meticulous and unhurried recording process, with each member deeply involved. The production, handled by Petter Lithvall at Stigbergstudion, achieves a dynamic sound - thick, beefy bottoms, crispy highs, and punchy mids - all while maintaining clarity and space.
Influences and Sound : "Your Blood" still resonates with the band's foundational influences like WASP, Motörhead, and Metallica. However, this album introduces hints of Sisters of Mercy and Queens of the Stone Age, merging with a classic rock vibe. The result is a BOMBUS that feels familiar yet refreshingly new, embodying what could be described as "Metal 'n' Roll".
Discography Summary : Since their inception in 2008, BOMBUS has built a formidable presence in the Scandinavian rock scene. Their self-titled debut in 2010 set the stage, followed by "The Poet and the Parrot" (2013), "Repeat Until Death" (2016), and "Vulture Culture" (2019). Each album solidified their reputation, and "Your Blood" continues this legacy with a bold new twist.
Final Notes : "Your Blood" is an album where BOMBUS successfully melds their past heaviness with a new, melodic edge. It’s a testament to their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. Prepare for a powerful display of Metal 'n' Roll, as BOMBUS delivers "Your Blood" with intensity and purpose.
Let’s metal 'n' roll!
