INDIAN NIGHTMARE - New EP "Banished Into Endless Chaos" in February 2025 via High Roller Records - Track Premiere
 Five years after their second album "By Ancient Force", INDIAN NIGHTMARE are finally back with a new sign of life! Titled "Banished Into Endless Chaos", the Berlin-based tribal metal punks’ latest EP features three tracks that serve as a harbinger for the band’s third studio album coming later in 2025. It’s also the first recording with their new vocalist Jaguars Claw.
“We always like to add new flavours but keep the essence of what we do,” explains guitarist Butch. “However, we learned so much since the last album and now are executing that, so this EP is the first step into a new domain. Of course, the biggest change are the vocals.” Whereas the EP stresses the band’s high-octane nature, Butch announces with regards to the third full-length: “We want to put more focus on shorter and more brutal punk songs in the style of our first album, while keeping some longer experimental and more metal songs.”
"Banished Into Endless Chaos" will be released on February 21st 2025 via High Roller Records. Pre-order options: https://www.hrrecords.de/INDIAN-NIGHTMARE
The EP’s opening track "Looking Into The Fire" has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/iCFRTm8WBAo

SACRIFICE - Lyric Video Premiere - New Album "Volume Six" coming via High Roller Records in Europe
 Canadian Thrash legends SACRIFICE have unleashed a first song from their long-awaited new album "Volume Six", set for release in Europe via High Roller Records on January 24th 2025.
Check out the the lyric video for "Antidote of Poison" here: https://youtu.be/kISqU7lqvp8
Since 2016 SACRIFICE had been working on new material for the follow-up to "The Ones I Condemn" (2009). In December 2020, during the pandemic, the band released a demo version of a new song entitled "World War V" on the internet. This paved the way for SACRIFICE’s six studio album, aptly titled "Volume Six", which was recorded and mixed at Phase One Studios in Toronto between September 2023 and May 2024 with engineer Darius Szepaniak.
"All original four members are on 'Volume Six'," comments vocalist/guitarist Rob Urbinati. "We are very fortunate that we are all still into doing this. SACRIFICE is the last of the classic thrash bands with the original line-up intact."
The original plan of the band was to record an EP. "But we ended up with more great songs than we planned for," adds Urbinati, "and at some point we agreed to record a whole album. It felt like old times, we were pretty excited to get in the studio again. When you write songs this is your ultimate goal, so we were ready, and yes, there was that old magic you can feel during recording. We just can’t wait for everyone to hear the album. We are very confident that our old fans will like 'Volume Six' and hopefully some new ones too."

SEVENTH STATION- New EP "Shoulders Of Giants" via Layered Reality Productions - Track Premiere
 Multinational/intercontinentally based SEVENTH STATION presents their mesmerizing new EP, WOn Shoulders Of Giants", now confirmed for February 21st 2025 release through Dutch progressive/avant metal label Layered Reality Productions.
Following the intuitive "Between Life & Dreams" (2016) and its dark, calculated, and frenzied successor "Heal The Unhealed" (2022), the radically artistic "On Shoulders Of Giants" reinforces how SEVENTH STATION continues striding towards an authentic strict, endeavoring on fulfilling themselves as genuine authors, truthful to their craft and distinguished by their composition technique with each member recognized internationally for their former work in the world of progressive and classical music. Here, the band has taken their unconventionality up a notch, revealing re-imagined works of the 20th century modern composers through a colorful gratitude of the band’s classical heritage.
Rejecting a contagious climate of separationism, "On Shoulders Of Giants" is led by the motivation to pioneer in crafting a free-thinking art-metal, defying a reality of sustainable war, immutable radicalism, attention-based economy, and conformist collectivism. Reimagining works of classical composers who were known as nonconformists and freethinkers, SEVENTH STATION quotes all with an artistically colorful twist into contemporary metal as a medium, along with the spirit of the underground scene as an artistic resistance, and the music itself as an opposite to the disposable culture of the instant.
Exploring stories sung in gibberish, Portuguese, and German, "On Shoulders Of Giants" is a meditated record, unconquered by trends or fashions, built for audiences with an admiration of unconventional music, for followers of bands such as Spastic Ink and Secret Chiefs 3, but also for those who love their prog pushed to the limits: humorous, full of tantrums and a recognition of a cartoonish reality, a tightly packed experience and a strong eccentric message of self-identity.
The EP’s lead single, “Three Days In Dresden” is an interpretation of a Shostakovich piece, showcases a collision of 20th century modern music and progressive metal intensity.
Check out the clip here: https://youtu.be/zrzu9w3GXG8
Keyboardist Eren Başbuğ states, “We pick up right back up from our last record and we switch to the left lane on the Autobahn jumping right on the action. This first track is almost like a trailer for what's about to hit you in the face in the rest of the record. With On Shoulders Of Giants, we are thrilled to share our celebration and respect of our classical heritages, and sail the vibrant seas of our combined eclectic musical spectrums.”

TUMENGGUNG - New Indonesian Heavy Metal Album "Back On The Streets" via Jawbreaker Records - Track Premiere
 Jawbreaker Records proudly announces the sophomore full-length from Indonesia’s premier heavy metal powerhouse TUMENGGUNG!
"Back on the Streets“ is set for release on January 17th 2025 on CD, LP, MC and in digital formats.
The title track has been premiered already here: https://youtu.be/mqyh66grssg
"Back on the Streets" is a collection of everything an 80s metal heart could long for. From headbanging riffs to sing-along choruses, melodic song structures, and pit-opening anthems, TUMENGGUNG delivers with force! They may draw clear inspiration from their 80s metal predecessors, but their unique sound is what truly makes them stand out.
Having started as a quartet back in 2007, TUMENGGUNG has since slimmed down to a power trio, and their upcoming album shows a band that has matured musically. They’ve grown beyond the subgenre they were founded upon, noticeably adding dynamics and delving more into the raw energy of heavy metal, but still embracing their influences while crafting something uniquely their own. "Back on the Streets" showcases the band’s melodic side like never before with guitar leads right out of the 80s metal dream. Its analogue recording style gives the riffs and raw, unpolished vocals an organic, visceral edge. The 9 tracks on the album are bound to surprise you, taking you from soulful melodies to the kind of thrashing speed metal that gets your adrenaline pumping.
Fans of Judas Priest, Riot, and anyone with a love for authentic, unfiltered 80s metal will find TUMENGGUNG’s latest work a journey worth taking.
Tracklist:
1. Wall Breaker
2. Back on the Streets
3. Living on the Edge
4. In the Dead of Night
5. Deja Vu
6. 1000 Tons of Metal
7. Symphony of Hate
8. Strangers

ENTOMOPHTHORA - New Video Clip - Norwegian Death Metal Debut via Soulseller Records
 Norwegian Death Metallers ENTOMOPHTHORA have unleashed another song from their debut album "Instinctual Disease", set for release on November 22nd 2024 via Soulseller Records on CD, LP and digitally.
Check out the video clip for "The Flames of Chaos" at this location: https://youtu.be/gca000EL10E
"The Flames of Chaos" captures a world unraveling in apocalyptic destruction, where nature violently reclaims itself. The track showcases the band’s blend of blazing riffs, thunderous drums and fiery vocals that will ignite your blackened soul. Smell the stench of decay!
ENTOMOPHTHORA was formed during a conversation about zombie flies in 2022, and consists of Roger Isaksen (vocals, bass, guitar) and Tom Wahl (guitar), both veterans in the Norwegian metal scene. Their earlier and current work includes bands like Vecordious, Nexorum, Maelström, Exeloume, Bethzaida, Killing for Company and Keep of Kalessin. The band's dark form of music is a natural combination of Tom Wahl's old-school death metal approach and Roger Isaksen's more modern extreme metal background. The result is their debut album "Instinctual Diseas", delivering eight tracks of powerful guitars, intense vocals and rapid rhythms. It was engineered and mixed by Roger Isaksen at Xhaos Xhult Studio and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studios.

BEDSORE - Sophomore Album "Dreaming The Strife For Love" via 20 Buck Spin - New Video Clip revealed
 Italy’s BEDSORE have revealed another song from their sophomore full-length "Dreaming The Strife For Love", coming on November 29th 2024 via 20 Buck Spin on LP, CD, tape and in digital formats.
Check out the video clip for "Scars of Light", created by Costin Chioreanu, here: https://youtu.be/yJ2ng_vLb9Q
With the new album, BEDSORE have jumped headfirst into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 1970s. Inspired by the mysterious renaissance-era book ‘Hypnerotomachia Poliphili’, the album musically weaves the concepts of love as a battlefield, where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols.
Lush, symphonic, ambitious and romantic in scope, BEDSORE’s "Dreaming The Strife For Love" is 2024’s most surprising fusion of 70s Progressive and Dark Death Metal, old and new production elements, the passionate and the horrific. Like so many of their Italian brethren from Goblin and Devil Doll, to Death SS and Black Hole, Bedsore both embrace tradition and blow it up simultaneously.
Futhermore, a European tour with label mates FULCI is planned for February 2025 - stay tuned for dates!
Artwork by Denis Forkas Kostromitin.
Tracklist:
1. Minerva’s Obilesque
2. Scars of Light
3. A Colossus, an Elephant, a Winged Horse, the Dragon Rendezvous
4. Realm of Eleuterillide
5. Fanfare for a Heartfelt Love
6. Fountain of Venus
