A 10 track concept album, an album that crosses multiple musical genres. Such as doom, progressive metal, traditional heavy metal, and even ambient.
The album flows continuously, telling the story of the extinction of humankind seen through the eyes of an extraterrestrial visitor disguised as a human sent to mother earth to analyze our behavior and eventually deplete us of all our natural resources.
He learns about our past and our experiences of war sickness.
Love, loss, and death, He falls in love with a woman and is torn between his selfishness for her.
He begins to question his willingness to carry out his mission.
He gets to watch as his love slowly falls victim to the disease and starts to wither away. Day by day, she grows sicker and eventually passes away from cancer. His experience of love, sickness, loss, and death is for real now. He realizes that there is nothing good left on Earth throughout all the darkness.
He informs his planet that there is nothing to be retained here on Earth and that he will be returning home, leaving the human race to its slow decay.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">With the 12th June having been set as the release date for "Madness and Magic", the seventh full-length album from Prog Rockers ARABS IN ASPIC, Karisma Records have today released the single "I Vow to Thee, My Screen", which is the opening track from the album. </span></div>

</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
According to the band, the song "describes the fascination and fear of our addiction to being entertained. The lyrics are heavily inspired by the British patriotic hymn, “I Vow to Thee, my Country,” written by Cecil Spring-Rice in 1918".</div>

Based in Trondheim in Norway, ARABS IN ASPIC's lineup of Jostein Smeby on Guitars + vocals, Stig Jørgensen on Organs + vocals, Erik Paulsen on Bass + vocals, Eskil Nyhus on Drums + cymbals and Alessandro G. Elide on Percussion + gongs, all have an uncanny ability to perform a variety of styles, which include aspects of classic rock, funk, pop, prog, heavy rock, bossanova, a capella. </div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
The resultant sound is a distinctive mix of loud, heavy guitars and drums, 12 string acoustics, funky bass and percussion, screaming Hammond organs, soft Rhodes, Mellotrons and 70's Synths, topped with plentiful vocal harmonies, which point to ARABS IN ASPIC's roots in what is known as the "Golden Era" of rock.</div>

Titled "A Day at the Beach", the album will be released on the 19th June on Karisma Records, and today the label has given the band's many fans a taste of what they can look forward to by releasing a track from the album.</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">The track is titled "Machines and Men", and AIRBAG describe it thus: "</span><em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">This was one of the very first songs written for the album. The initial demo was basically just guitars, drums and vocals and during a period of working in the studio, rehearsing, and playing the song live, it slowly evolved into something new and fresh that defined most of the material we were working on. The lyrics describe the facts of war in a cold and objective fashion, only to turn to the spectator with a warning and a chance to look away</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">".</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">"Machines and Men" can be streamed or downloaded at </span><a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://patriciathomasmanagement.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5481bf0f48a541dccada51e05&id=2119c20dc6&e=7a15fb75b1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #336699; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">https://karismarecords.fanlink.to/airbag_machines-and-men</a><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Hailed as one of the most important bands to emerge from the Norwegian prog scene over the past decades, AIRBAG was formed in the mid 2000's by five high school class mates, which included two of today's members Asle Tostrup (vocals) and Bjørn Riis (guitars). AIRBAG is a band that is able to blend diverse musical styles and sounds, with a strong narrative listening experience. Today's lineup also includes Henrik Bergan Fossum (drums) and "A Day at the Beach" will be AIRBAG's first album as a trio, and will also feature talented guest musicians including WOBBLER's Kristian Hultgren.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Featuring six new songs recorded during the autumn and winter of 2019-20, and inspired by the resurgence of 1980s electronica, new wave and movie scores, "A Day at the Beach" sees AIRBAG creating a powerful sound combining ethereal soundscapes with their signature guitar driven progressive rock. The result is a stunning selection of songs revealing a mature band looking forward from its already impressive legacy.</span><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Once again teaming up with long-time collaborator and engineer Vegard Sleipnes, "A Day at the Beach" was mastered by Jacob Holm-Lupo and produced by Asle Tostrup and Bjørn Riis.

<br />
, ORKAN’s lineup, comprised of founder members Gjermund Fredheim (TAAKE’s live guitarist notorious for having created Black Metal’s only banjo solo) and drummer Rune Nesse, along with bassist Sindre Hillesdal and frontman Einar Fjelldal (ex-GRAVEMACHINE), are well qualified to able to create an uncompromising sound that is not just emotion-filled, but also varied.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Having recently debuted the track “I flammar skal du eldast”, from their latest album “Element”, the Norwegian Black Metallers now show just how varied their sound can be, with the release of a video for the track “Heim”, which can be seen below and at https://youtu.be/hQ_kqCeeM9U<br />
<br />
As drummer Rune Nesse explains:<br />
<br />
We are excited to present Orkan’s very first music video! ”Heim” is a song that clearly stands out from the rest of the tracks on our new album, Element, and, when choosing which track to use in the making of a music video, we were all quick to agree on this particular song. When filming we set out to convey the mood and atmosphere of the track and we’re pleased to share the result of this process with you now!<br />

“Element” itself came into being during a particularly difficult time for ORKAN. Having started on it in 2015, the band had to fight their way through the ravages of cancer and a rare muscular disease, but won through and have produced an album whose songs are more layered and with a more and complex production than their debut full-length “Livlaus”.<br />
<br />
It is a ferocious album that deals with the power of the four elements, and stands as an homage to the unforgiving strength of the earth as witnessed by the landscape of ORKAN#s native land – the Island of Stord. Whilst taxing in both mind and body to make given the circumstances, the resulting album has proved to be as rewarding as it was difficult to achieve, drawing you in and totally enveloping you in darkness<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Black metallers <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Blood Of Serpents</strong> hails from the deep forests of Småland, Sweden, and <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sulphur Sovereign</em> is the bands' second full length album, and the first one featuring drummer Christoffer Andersson and vocalist Thomas Clifford known from <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Throne Of Heresy</strong> and <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Abscession</strong>. The band debuted in 2012 with the EP <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Leave You To The Flies</em>, which was followed in 2013 by the second EP <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mind Made For Murder</em> and finally in 2014 by the debut full-length <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Black Dawn</em>.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The new album</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sulphur Sovereign</em><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">is slated to be a standout black metal release of 2018 and upon hearing the first track it becomes clear what we are in for, this is pure crushing evil black metal, without leaving to much room for melodies, but yet there's some space for some indulgent impeding melodic patterns that arise from the shadows to make everything a bit more audacious, with all this the band carriers forward the style that has a lot in common with bands such are</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Marduk</strong><span style="background-color: white;">,</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Belphegor</strong><span style="background-color: white;">,</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Funeral Mist</strong><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">and</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Dark Funeral</strong><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
The thing that made me fall in love with this record is the sound intensity and the speed, mostly because I'm a huge sucker for bands like <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Marduk</strong> or <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Belphegor</strong> and it's quite clear that fans of those bands will love this album. Each one of the tracks on this album breaks the standards of today's black metal production. <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Blood Of Serpents</strong> know clearly what they are doing in terms of building up the hype and mystery surrounding the album, just listen for example to the majestic almost epic track "As The Temple Burns" and you'll understand what's my point.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Each track brings back memories of the good old days when albums of black/death metal pioneers like <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Belpegor</strong>, early <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Behemoth</strong>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Endstille</strong>,... were dominating the scene with their ferocious uncompromising black metal. <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Blood Of Serpents</strong> with <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sulphur Sovereign</em> have released that kind of an album that will change the scene for the better with raging guitars, insane drums and harsh vocals from the depths of hell.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
The band offers throughout the album very dense and rich sound that reminds in the first place especially to <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Marduk</strong>'s early output <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Frontschwein</em> or <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Serpent Sermon</em>. So, I think that you understand what are you in front of and if you are a fan of the bands mentioned above then <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Blood Of Serpents</strong> new album <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sulphur Soverreign</em> will be your lucky hit for sure! The album drops on 25th of September so be sure to not to miss out this majestic album from these Swedish black metal masters. This is an anti-theistic opus for those who see through the thin veil of religious servitude, it's an album that in the first place draws on a respectful Swedish black/death tradition, but yet it's not just repeating the old patterns.</div>

It’s been almost 15 years since we toured together and the last time we did the tours became instant classics. It‘s that time again folks… KATAKLYSM & HYPOCRISY team up once more for a world tour beginning with Europe this fall. To make things even greater our record label Nuclear Blast has come on board and baptized the tour »Death…Is Just The Beginning«, a homage to the old classic compilations that made so many fans discover both bands back in the day. This will mark the return of this classic compilation with this tour and maybe give other artists the chance to get discovered like we did. DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR, YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE!”</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Noto Serif, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">“I hope that you are just as excited as we are, because we are very happy to announce that we are finally warming up the HYPOCRISY engine again and that we will be back on the road in fall! We will be touring Europe together with our friends in KATAKLYSM! The tour will be an overview of the chaos and confusion created by HYPOCRISY over the years. See you out there!”</span></span>Nordic Metal Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13579740894189970682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359509585673935508.post-59608583042685986792018-04-03T11:59:00.003+02:002018-04-03T11:59:58.745+02:00Occult Hard Rockers Acârash Reveal Details Of Debut Full-Length Album OCCULT HARD ROCKERS ACÂRASH REVEAL DETAILS OF DEBUT FULL-LENGTH ALBUM<br />

ACÂRASH, whose lineup comprises Sølve Sæther on drums, Lukas Paulsen on guitars and Anlov P. Mathiesen on bass and vocals, was formed in Oslo in the fall of 2016, and is rooted in the 80s and 90s avant-garde rockers THE VOID . With members hailing from bands such as LONELY KAMEL, ZECTION8, FAUSTUS and DEEP REST, ACÂRASH is a band whose influences are varied, and which embraces tradition, yet manages to forge an identity all of its own.<br />
<br />
By combining hard rock, with doom and black metal, ACÂRASH has succeeded in forming a sound in which esoteric poetry and ritualistic contemplation are central to the music, and mirror the nuances in both sound and musical contrasts.<br />
<br />
With "In Chaos Becrowned", ACÂRASH has shown an ability to reinvent, whilst at the same time preserve, in order to deliver a record that explores and develops the boundaries of rock and metal, and naturally alternates between raw catchiness, dark introspection, and progressive playfulness.<br />
<br />

With 1.3 million Youtube-views on their first single 'Interdimensional Summit', Norwegian black metallers Dimmu Borgir have proved once again that they are back for good after over 7 years of silence. On May 4th, the black metal masters will bring us their new full-length album Eonian and today, they unveil their second single with a nice music video.<br />
<br />
The experimental, folkloristic 'Council of Wolves And Snakes' is risking a look far beyond the horizon and proves that the band follows 'no formula, no absolute', as Silenoz (Official) vows, and shows that the path sometimes guides them to places they would have never expected to end up when they started their journey.<br />
<br />
Vocalist Shagrath (Official) states: "It's a song that sticks out from the rest of the album, it's DIMMU BORGIR going into an experimental direction, but you can also find a lot of black metal inspiration in the middle section of the song. We are a band that has never been afraid of trying out new directions and artistically this is surely a very interesting and different track."<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Swedish black metallers <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> finally brought us their debut album <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Deceptis</em>, and what an album this is! It's hard to pin point exactly what makes <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> unique and what makes them part of a larger plan, but one thing is certain, they sure do not tend to disappoint.<br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Deceptis</em> is filled with everything a solid black metal record should have these days, from mid tempo groovy tunes to extraordinary captivating melodies and more blistering fast furious tracks. The album has a very sharp tone that reminds me of the early days of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Gorgoroth</strong>, but it dosen’t quite stop there as the music tends to be more well balanced on this time around. Following from their debut mini EP <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Vanskapt</em> that came out in 2016 <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> has leaped a long way from it but also making it clear what you could expect from their new opus. Without basing too much on older material or backstory <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> is an interesting newcommer to the black metal scene that was formed in the suburbs of Stockholm in 2016 by Christian and Oscar who shared the same vision to create proper black metal.<br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> <br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />What makes <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> unique is that they sing in their native tounge Swedish and while some may argue that black metal lyrics may sometimes be tricky to understand, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> makes a change with Christians quite clear singing voice and prononciation. With chilling riffs and crushing musical production <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> can best be described as a lethal weapon to excecute humanity.<br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />With beautiful tremolo solos and strong melodic lines <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avslut</strong> manages to convince nearly anyone and they surely know what it means stand for blood, fire and death. With a playing time nearly 44 minutes the album is a real welcome to the more die hard fans of black metal as well as the newer fans of the genre. <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Deceptis</em> is one of the most solid black metal records you'll have a chance to hear in today's flooded scene, and I strongly encourage you all to pick up a copy and support the madness. I'm also sure that we can expect even more greatness from them in the future.</span></div>

TAAKE's "Norwegian style and sound, comes down to the perfection by TAAKE's iconic frontman and founder Hoest, whom has been keeping the spirit of Norwegian Black Metal alive for a quarter of a century, both in the studio and on the stage, whilst never allowing the icy, dangerous edge, much beloved by Black Metal fans, to stagnate.<br />
Hoest's delivers a powerful presence on stage which easly dominates any stage on which he sets foot on, <br />
combined with solid live lineup of experienced and skilled musicians, and an extensive back catalogue to draw from, does indeed always help.<br />
Taake is a band you must witness live to properely understand the value.<br />

Finland's symphonic metal band NIGHTWISH have released their brand new best-of compilation “Decades” on March 9th through Nuclear Blast to celebrate more than two decades of their career. It’s only right, then, that this milestone should be celebrated with an extensive world tour! Currently touring North America, the band are pleased to announce their special guests for the upcoming European shows this November and December will be up and coming heavy metallers BEAST IN BLACK, led by former BATTLE BEAST guitarist Anton Kabanen. Full tour dates are below.<br />
<br />
“There’s absolutely no better way to wrap up the year than this massive tour with NIGHTWISH,” says Anton. “Moreover, this is beyond words and our wildest dreams. We promise to give you our very best and to make these shows unforgettable!”<br />

Band: Hinayana<br />
Album title: Order Divine<br />
Release date: 19 March 2018<br />
Label: Self-Released<br />
<br />
Tracklist:<br />
01. Gateway<br />
02. The Window<br />
03. Arise<br />
04. Order Divine<br />
05. Revelation<br />
06. Return To Nothing<br />
07. Conduit Closing<br />
<br />
<br />
Texas is known for a lot of things but doom/death metal or anything melodic are not one of those things for the matter. When I think of Texas I think of brutal death metal bands like Devourment, Viral Load,... or about some desert rock, stoner and sludge/doom stuff. Even more exciting is the fact that this band, Hinayana, seem to be quite fresh on the scene, until now they released only one demo, Endless, in 2014, and four years later they return with their debut full-lenth release.<br />
<br />
Hinayana was originally created as a one man project by vocalist/guitarist Casey Hurd, but later lead its path to full flagship of talented musicians, and now we get Order Divine which is everything you want it to be, it's quite fast, dynamic, melodic, heavy, powerfull, and just enough gloomy at times and absolutely beautiful, with its own unique sound. While slightly borrowing some elements from Swedish melodic death metal acts such as Arch Enemy or Hypocrisy to name a few, they manage with ease to capture all the greatness of each band that influenced them into their own blend of doom/death, although because of quite fast paced rhythms one may say it's perhaps closer to melodic death metal.<br />
<br />
Hinayana made an album that is surely bound to spin for ages in your player if you are a fan of darker, very melodic, a bit faster and groovy versions of doom metal. Order Divine is characterized by deep growling vocals, captivating melodic guitar lines, thick powerful rhythmic line, several mood changes and some amazing gloomy synths, all of this is perfectly reflecting in the amazing "Return To Nothing". This four-piece band really created an amazing record that in my opinion is destined to stand the test of time, it's an album which also shines because of good production.<br />
<br />
Containing only seven tracks it’s a pure goldmine for those who seek that extra thing to spice up their day or week for the matter, although one might be thinking that the album needs a few spins it doesn't get any better than this, you can start at any track and you are bound to be subjected to their amazing mesmerizing crushing brutal but highly addictive melodic doom/death metal. I'm also pretty confident that this record will please just about any fan of doom and death metal as well.<br />

The Finnish/Greek melodic/atmospheric doom/death metal band Aeonian Sorrow was formed by the female singer/songwriter Gogo Melone in September 2015 and is about to release their debut album. Gogo is accompanied by some renowned musicians like are drummer Saku Moilanen (Red Moon Architect), vocalist Alejandro Lotero (Exgenesis), guitarist Taneli Jämsä (Ghost Voyage, Hukutus) and bassist Pyry Hanski (Mörbid Vomit, Before The Dawn,...). Soon after the creation the band started its journey into the world of sorrow in order to start writing materials for their first album. </div>

Band: Aeonian Sorrow</div>
<div>
<div>
Album title: Into The Eternity A Moment We Are</div>
<div>
Release date: 11 April 2018</div>
<div>
Label: Self-Released</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tracklist:</div>
<div>
01. Forever Misery</div>
<div>
02. Shadows Mourn</div>
<div>
03. Under The Light</div>
<div>
04. Memory Of Love</div>
<div>
05. Thanatos Kyrie</div>
<div>
06. Insendia</div>
<div>
07. The Wind Of Silence</div>
<div>
08. Ave End</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Into The Eternity A Moment We Are brings us eight beautiful melancholic tunes and if you are familiar with bands like Swallow The sun or Red Moon Architect then you know what you are in for. Aeonian Sorrow shares all the typical trademark styles of Finnish doom metal but also has the ability to stand on its own. This is indeed not just another doom record but a very great step towards bigger things. Melodic and fragrant are perhaps two words that best describe this album, going from raging mid tempos to utter slow down tempo.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One thing that I find interesting is that every Finnish doom band seems to go for the same patterns on each record, the same regards to the vocals, nothing wrong with that, but it does sometimes feel like you are hearing the same band over and over again. The production is what you expect from a Finnish band, that warm fuzzy guitar tone that seems to haunt every doom metal band from Finland. Although it's not too much of a coincidence since they worked with the same producer that worked already with bands like Wolfheart, Red Moon Architect, etc. I always thought there are some things in common with Wolfheart already when I first heard this album.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To sum up the album, it’s a beautiful melodic doom/death record with that Finnish melancholy inherited in there. It was composed and produced by musicans who surely know their craft, there's no doubt about that. Into The Eternity A Moment We Are is and will be a gem, I can easily say that it's one of the best doom metal albums released so far in 2018. I was quite surprised about it, despite sometimes feeling a bit repetitive, the listeners will get what they wants and if you’re like me a total doom lover despite origin, this album will become a must have in your doom collection. Be sure to keep an eye on this release!</div>

We tell about historical events<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Swedish Heavy Metal giants <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">SABATON-</span> who are well known for writing music based on wars, historical events and heroism. Their songs usually have a grand appeal that draws influences from classic Heavy Metal of the 80’s with a subject that strongly defines their music alone. We are interacting with<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"> Pär Sundström; </span>the band’s bassist and the only other original member alongside <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Joakim Brodén. </span>Excerpts: </span></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: I am fantastic, we have had a few weeks of non touring which we have used wisely to work on future music. At the moment, we don’t have so much more to reveal but at least the songwriting started!</span></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: Fantastic, we are absolutely excited about how fans enjoyed our latest album. To be able to play more than half of the album every night and see that the fans love it is great. It means that we do not rely on songs we wrote in the past but still have the ability to write new songs that is great.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. Being almost constantly on the road, touring; how do you balance time with your personal life?</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: We live very closely with the band and it’s a part of everything we do. We ensure that all members have a good life and we make the best of the free time we have. We are more away from our families than most people but still there are a lot who have it more harder than us.</span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. Sabaton has quite a spread discography having put out as much as 10 full lengths so far with ‘The Last Stand’, how do you go about when it comes to choosing songs for a tour or live set list?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: Its getting harder and harder to select songs for live sets. But we are happy as long as we can focus on a lot of songs from the latest release. We cannot play 4 hour sets every night so it is always a compromise which older songs fit in. We try to rotate and always get in some older and unexpected songs to vary also!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: There are many current wars that we are not covering for the reason that we like to stay away from current warfare. We tell about historical events and not about what is happening today. There is a chance we will in the future sing about conflicts that are happening today. But first they must be solved in one way or another, become history and then we can tell that story!</span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. Being one of the leading and heavily touring bands in Europe; the life style must be quite hard with being on the road and stressful times as well; could that also be a reason perhaps for the line-up changes for Sabaton over the years?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: The 2012 big lineup change was a result of no chance the previous 13 years of the band where we held together, but people grow and change priorities of their lives.</span></span></div>

Sabaton has been around for a long time what are your best moments in your career with Sabaton?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: There are lots of fantastic times. And we have done great shows in our lives. But to see a number one chart position in our home country is something that is hard to deny as a fantastic feeling. When it comes to shows, I’m not so interested in numbers, I remember many sweaty tight club shows as well as the arena shows. But one thing that was a big highlight for me personally was after the big lineup change in 2012 when we did our first show and saw that it actually works great now!</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. How would you compare Carolus Rex with your last two albums- Heros And The Last stand; musically and lyrically?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: <span style="box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration-line: underline;">Carolus Rex</span> of course has a completely different lyrical theme, being a concept album about Swedish history. I would also say that it is one of the albums that I have something I would like to change afterwards. I think it is too much of everything. We overuse the might of choirs and mighty orchestral arrangements in every song. The album gives not much room to breathe. On the same time I hold the Swedish version of the album as the highest.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other two albums you mentioned are both written where we started to include new members in songwriting and I think that was a big leap musically.</span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. How does the writing process for each album start? Do all guys get together and share your ideas or is it mainly Jaoakim and Per who is known as being the main composer for Sabaton or does anyone in the band incorporate their ideas too?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: An album starts with me and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Joakim</span> who sits and discusses the possible themes. <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Joakim</span> is the main songwriter who would later go ahead and create the majority of the songs by himself or with other people. And finally me and <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Joakim</span> would be writing the lyrics when we are close to recording times.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. Which of the recent tracks would you say is your personal favourite?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: Shiroyama, and Winged Hussars for sure! </span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. Aside from playing at various European festivals you also have a festival in your own home town ‘Falun’ called ‘Sabaton Open Air’ how did that idea come to life?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: I wanted to make something more than just a show. Its my way of doing things that I always wanna push everything to the max. So the festival started with a one day event with mainly local bands and evolved into what is now a 4 day open air event with 2 stages.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. What sparked your interest to write about War?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: We always were interested in war, history. And when we were looking for a theme for our music this seemed very close at heart. I personally think it fits great with the music and the lyrical theme.</span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. Which era of the wars would you say is the most interesting? What provokes that idea in you?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: World War two is my favorite since it involved so many different kind of warfare. Water, air and land plus it was a time of very quick inventions and since it was fought on several continents and with lots of countries there are many stories. But also it is the first really good documented war. Films, photos and stories are quite accurate compared to previous war stories.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MJM. Out of all stories you’ve read and researched, what was the hardest war to research about? Or rather found great fascination with?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: Sometimes the themes only are a few local rumors in a part of the world and we have to do a lot of research and try to dig out what actually happened. It happens if we find a interesting idea without any information about it. Today, its much easier than when we started to write songs about war in 2004. Internet made it easier to seek the info and to connect with the necessary people!</span></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pär: I think the major festivals are many times similar no matter which country they are in. Only our own festival is something different since it gathers the most dedicated fans from all around the world.</span></span></div>

CRADLE OF FILTH: We wanted to make an old school ‘Cradle of Filth’ album</div>
<div>
UK’s Extreme Metal icons- Cradle of Filth‘s axe man Richard Shaw sat down to chat with us about their new album and the future plans and how things have been with COF all these years. The new album- Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness Of Decay (2017) is now officially released via Nuclear Blast Records worldwide. Excerpts: re post from MJM Magazine by Oliver /Harsha</div>

<div>
MJM. Hello Richard Shaw, thanks for taking the time to talk with us! How are you doing today?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: I’m doing well, thank you. Very busy but feeling good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. Your new album ‘Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness of Decay’ comes out September 22 and I personally must say it’s one of my favourite COF album.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: Thank you very much. I’m glad you like it. We enjoyed making it and we’re really happy with the fan and critic response so far.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. A lot of fans and Media are saying that the new songs are way more melodic then previous discography which makes them think of material from Cruelty and the Beast, Dusk and Her Embrace; with a more modern approach is that something you’ve intentionally did with this album or was it just natural progression?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: Half and half I’d say. When Ashok and I joined the band in early 2014 and was asked if we’d contribute to the last album, ‘Hammer of the Witches’, we wanted to make an old school Cradle of Filth album but with a fresh approach. We feel we achieved that on the last album and it was received well by the fans. We began writing that album when Ashok and I had only been in the band a few months, whereas on this album we had been in the band a few years. We know each other a lot better now and we know how far we can push each other’s abilities, whether it be songwriting or technical. We definitely wanted to make a more cinematic sounding album and I think we pulled it off.</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
He happened to be reading a lot of Victorian literature at the time, and was heavily influenced by the Victorian obsession with death and the occult.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. Cradle is known for doing brilliant concept albums and with ‘Cryptoriana…’ being described as infused with Victorian Gothic horror, how did that idea come to mind?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: That was an idea that Dani came up with later in the album writing sessions. Musically the songs were nearing completion when we were finalizing the arrangements in Brno, Czech Republic when Dani realized he needed to begin writing lyrics (other than ‘Achingly Beautiful’ which he had left over from the previous album sessions). He happened to be reading a lot of Victorian literature at the time, and was heavily influenced by the Victorian obsession with death and the occult. It seemed a natural fit to the music we were writing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dani has over 900 film soundtracks in his collection</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. On this album you also featured Liv Kristine known from the Nymphetamine era; how did that idea came about? And what did she bring to the table this time?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: Lindsay came in to record her vocal parts and something wasn’t quite clicking with that song. I’m not saying Lindsay didn’t do a good job on the song, it’s just that that particular song required a different kind of vocal approach. Scott (our producer) suggested Liv, and she was happy to be a part of it. It’s a nice little homage to Cradle of Filth’s past, while at the same time, this is a very different song to ‘Nymphetamine’.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. Dani had earlier mentioned that the band is deeply inspired by movie soundtracks. Which are your 5 favorites that you cannot stop loving?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: I think; we all love film soundtracks, but Dani and I are probably the biggest fans. Dani has over 900 film soundtracks in his collection, I have nowhere near as many. My top five (off the top of my head) would be:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Danny Elfman – ‘Edward Scissorhands’</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hans Zimmer – ‘Gladiator’</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wojciech Kilar – ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Daft Punk – ‘Tron Legacy’</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Danny Elfman – ‘Beetlejuice’</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. You joined the band quite recently. How do you share your relationship with the other members?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: We all get on really well. We seem to gel musically and personally. We all have our own little quirks and idiosyncrasies that we respect and we get on great.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. Tell us about your older projects and the bands you played prior to COF.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: As a session musician, I still play guitar for orchestras and musical theatre, as well as playing guitar for local pop singers. I play for a karaoke band and an acoustic covers band. My two old bands, Emperor Chung and NG26, unfortunately are not as active as I’d like them to be, as we are all so busy (me especially) that it’s difficult to get together. I tend to now fit in one off projects between Cradle of Filth tours.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. This is your sixth album where you’ve worked with producer Scott Atkins. What new ideas did he bring to the table this time, I understand you guys are also working with Scott for Devilment?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: He’s a great producer with an incredible ear. He’s a guitarist too so he knows exactly how to get the best of me and he knows what makes a great player play at their best. He’s also great at trimming the fat, getting rid of parts that are simply unnecessary. He has the big picture in mind. He has worked with Devilment too. It makes sense. Dani has found a producer that really understands what he wants but at the same time really pushed him to deliver more than what he feels he’s capable of.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We’d go over the songs for a few hours a day and then just hang out and simply be friends the rest of the time. Like a Cradle of Filth holiday/ team building exercise.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MJM. Let’s talk about the artwork for this record, Cradle is known for its exquisite art and detail, I understand you continue to work with Artūrs Bērziņš, who also directed the video for “Heartbreak and Séance” How did that relationship start?</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Richard: From what I gather, Dani was introduced to him when we were looking at artists for the ‘Hammer of the Witches’ album. He did the artwork for that album and did an incredible job, he’s simply fantastic. We knew we wanted him to do the artwork for ‘Cryptoriana….’ but he mentioned that he’s also a film director. Once we saw some of his work, we knew he was the perfect choice to direct the ‘Heartbreak and Seance’ music video.</div>

MJM. How did the writing process for the new album go about this time around? I read somewhere that you went along with the filths to some Team building weekend in Czech Republic could you elaborate more on that?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Richard: We had been writing by ourselves for some months before we went to the Brno in the Czech Republic. We tend to write whole pieces of music by ourselves. Martin brought in three songs, Daniel, Ashok and I brought in two songs each. Then over a period of months we discuss the notes and chord progressions but the we got together in Brno (where Martin and Ashok live) to finalize the arrangements face to face while Dani started working on the lyrics. That week was great. We’d go over the songs for a few hours a day and then just hang out and simply be friends the rest of the time. Like a Cradle of Filth holiday/ team building exercise.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">In the last couple of years we have seen a rapid growth inside the doom metal genre, with some older bands like for example </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">My Dying Bride</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> and </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Paradise Lost</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> still raging strong, it's nice to see more and more underground bands bringing out some amazing doom and the truth is that the underground doom metal scene has actually some of the best bands right now, we got bands like </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Frowning</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">, </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Vanha</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">, </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sorrowful Land</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> and many more who pretty much conquered 2016 with amazing albums. Now we have the pleasure of enjoying yet another amazing band from the doom universe, </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Evadne</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">. Their new album </span></span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Mother Named Death</em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> is as beautiful as it is sorrowful!</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">The band formed back in 2003 in Spain, probably not the country you'd expect to find a prominent doom band to come out of. With one full length album, </span></span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Shortest Way</em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> (2012) and one EP, </span></span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Dethroned Of Light</em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> (2014), behind their back, they are now regarded as one of the pioneers and leaders of death/doom in the Spanish scene.</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">While having toured with bands like </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Evoken</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> ,</span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Swallow The Sun</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> and </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Novembers Doom</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">, to name a few, they quickly established a strong fanbase. Their new album </span></span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Mother Named Death</em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> is again one of those doom/death metal records that you just love from the start, without going into too much in depth talk, we can safely say that everything flows together very nice and the songs feel like they have been matured a bit more while also retaining their old-school sound, one thing that is perhaps a bit unexpected is their blending of black metal influences in some parts of the songs.</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Evadne</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> is not the type of doom band where you can expect them to be lingering on one riff for ten minutes, they bring everything to their game. Sometimes the songs are almost too fast for being described as a proper doom metal, but I guess this is up for some other discussion, some people might say its more black/doom rather then actual doom/death, hence the growling vocals. The album is characterized by heavy guitars, strong rhythmic line, gloomy keyboards, and growl performance in combination with parties of pure vocals, and all these things make the music of </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Evadne</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> diverse, emotional and fascinating.</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Overall the highly atmospheric sound on this record is amazing, extremely melancholic and organic. It's hard to pick up favorites as the entire record is a pure milestone of doom, raging from slow funeral doom tempos to more typical death metal tempos and it's safe to say this is a record that will keep the listener occupied for a very long time. Lingering in a time where everything is almost given away at the start, it's nice to find a band that still remains a bit unknown to the more die hard fans.</span></span><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Evadne</strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">'s </span></span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Mother Named Death</em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> is just that extra piece that fits so well with the gloomy days ahead and all human plauges. If you're looking for that one record to keep you wishing for more then this is it. Being a follow up to their previous works this one surely puts the standards a step higher.</span></span></span></div>

Dark Essence Records' band roster has never been lacking of Black and Extreme Metal, but the slow, heavy tones of Doom have, until now, been noticeable by their absence. but as of today's signing that has been taken care of.<br />

Formed during 2014 in Norway's capital city Oslo, DWAAL can best be described as is a five-headed beast , assaulting the listener with a dense wall of sound that lies somewhere at the intersection of Doom and Post Metal. The atmosphere they create is one of slow motion, laden with heavy, sludgy, gloomy riffs, punctuated alternately by despairing vocals one minute, and minimalistic, melancholic melodies the next. Or, as the band like to put it: " A punch in the throat followed by a soothing caress, followed by another punch in the throat".<br />
<br />
DWAAL's lineup is comprised of Christian Natusch on Vocals & Synth, Eigil Dragvik on Guitar & Backing Vocals, Rikke Karlsen on Guitar, Stian Hammer on Bass and Anders Johnsen on Drums. The band's studio debut was self-released in April of this year to a warm reception from the Norwegian underground. The EP, titled "Darben", is a 31 minute, two-track opus which can be heard at https://dwaaldoom.bandcamp.com<br />

About the band, frontman, Astaroth, commented the following...<br />
<br />
"The vision of bestowing the ideologies of Astaroth to our hell spawns through our interpretations and relating them to our world and society of today. Our goal is to create extreme metal which feels limitless in its creative form while staying true to our roots and influences in metal.<br />
<br />
With each member coming from a different musical background, it allows us to craft each song with a different mindset, in an effort to intrigue the listener and entice their mind to dissect the lyrics which are encrusted with multi-layered meanings.<br />
<br />
All of our songs, music and lyrics combined, are built around personal exploration for each spawn to experience in their own way."<br />
<br />
Combining a cornucopia of the extreme, Astaroth Incarnate are not easily categorized, though their approach is one that coalesces black metal with elements of death, thrash, melodic, doom, and groove.<br />
<br />
Too put a long story short , Astaroth Incarnate is a blend of sub-genre fluctuations, which includes a wide spectrum of vocals, progressive drumming, and technical yet groovy bass lines all driven by memorable riffing and solos.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Finnish doomsters </span></span><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Red Moon Architect</strong><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> are back with their third full-length, after the </span></span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Concealed Silence</em><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> (2012) and </span></span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Fall</em><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> (2015). While their sound dives deep into the death/doom roots, they still manage to create here and there kind of a sound of their own, especially with strong female vocals and captivating melodic riffs. Although the band label themselves as funeral doom, I still feel they are closer to regular death/doom, or even better said to melancholic doom.</span></span></span></div>

The guitar work is exceptional, just like the whole instrumentation itself. The album <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Return Of The Black Butterflies</em> is a strong follow up to the bands past works, I can say that it's their best so far and in a way could easily be considered as a fourth part of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Swallow The Sun</strong>'s album <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Songs From The North</em>. </strong></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The album pulls you under and crushes you under the weaves of the tide. Slowly carrying you out in the open sea, especially the emotional vibes of the amazing "Tormented" or "Journey" where such a catchy melody and breathtaking male/female duet can easily get under your skin. Beautifully and ferociously the album lingers on in its beautiful sorrowful way.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The album consists of six tracks of pure sweeping, yet crushing and highly atmospheric doom that will draw you down into the abyss. With the full album being "only" 48 minutes long its still quite a short one for being a doom metal album. The album name hints to a bit of inspiration from fellow Finnish doom masters <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Swallow The Sun</strong> and their monumental album <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Plague Of Butterflies</em>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">All of the songs feel lengty yet very open in its sound, allowing them to breath more naturally. The deep growling vocals of Ville Rutanen sounds almost identical to the vocals of Mikko Kotamäki of <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Swallow The Sun</strong>. One might think he just went under a different name for this album. But never the less the album delivers on all basis heavy, melancholic and dark sound while slowly bringing in the melodies and cold vibe that only Finnish doom seems to have. The album is an esential must for fans of atmospheric and melancholic death/doom metal.</span></div>
