NEW VIDEO AND SINGLE "SAVE ME" OUT NOW!
[2014.02.17]

The cold winter is slowly sneaking in on us, Chapter 4 in the Witchhammer history is about to be written. A new chapter that is darker, harder and more evocative than ever. In anticipation of the new album by the band, (Wich will be launched late winter 2014) Witchhammer is proud to introduce old and new fans to a trilogy of new material based on stories from the MMO 'The Secret World'. "The Secret World" is developed by Funcom, and Witchhammer is one of several known metal bands providing music for the game that was released in 2012. Cooperation with Funcom continues, and together with Adapter studios (video) and Lydmuren A/S (sound).

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO



"Save me" will be followed by "Rising" and "From Hell" in 2014. The dark and atmospheric trilogy paints a picture of what awaits impatient fans, when Chapter 4 in the Witchhammer story completes during the winter of 2014. Dark, gloomy, hard and brutal are some key words!



After months of writing new material and testing of different singers, the band finally found a new frontman and promoter. Sam Natanael is the man who lifts Witchhammer into a new direction, and towards a new era in Norwegian metal history. With a tougher and more brutal voice, old and new stories is presented in line with Witchhammer's basic spirit and intent.
The year 2014 looks to be an exciting year in the Witchhammer story. While the new album is released, the band focuses on a lot of gigs both in and outside Norway. The story continues ........

HOLOCAUSTO CANIBAL
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: GRINDCORE / DEATH METAL



HOLOCAUSTO CANIBAL LARVAS COVER REVEALED!
[2014.02.11]

As some of you may know, we have a new release cumming in your way. It is called “Larvas” and it will be released through the one and only Bizarre Leprous Production CZ.

Now we think it’s time to show you the cover artwork of this brand new opus! Conceived by our very own Eduardo Fernandes, the cover portrays an bloody eye being open by surgical tools while a worm silently slithers into the iris.

According to him: “the whole ideia of this EP is to mark the transition between our previous album “Gorefilia” and the new songs we’re already working on. “Larvas” is Portuguese for “larvae”, and somehow we wanted to pass the image of a rotten body infested by worms [which represent “Gorefilia”], while one of those worms quietly crawls into a brand new body [the new songs]. This worm is this EP: rotten, ugly, slimy and fat – which actually are some of the words we can use to describe these songs!”

Expect more news regarding final track list, release date and some special stuff in the next weeks, grinders!

NECRONOMICON "RISE OF THE ELDER ONES" VIDEOCLIP ONLINE!
[2014.02.11]

Canadian Blackened Death Metal warriors Necronomicon are proud to reveal their first official video clip from 'Rise of the Elder Ones' 2013 album. Directed by Rob the Witch (Vocals - Guitars).

The band comments: "It's been a long wait and adventure to get to this point, but here it is, the "Rise Of The Elder Ones" video!! Hope you like the epic production and efforts we put into it. Please share if you like our music and video."

Check out "Rise of the Elder Ones Clip" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7_TuwPA5f4





NECRONOMICON ‘Rise of the Elder Ones’ is available via the Season of Mist e-shop.

‘Rise of the Elder Ones’ Tracklist:
01 - Resurrected
02 - The End of Times
03 - The Living God (Pharaoh of Gods Part II)
04 - The Nuclear Chaos
05 - From Beyond
06 - Rise of the Elder Ones
07 - The Valley of the Lost Souls
08 - Celestial Being
09 - Dark Corners of the Earth
10 - The Fallen

NECRONOMICON conjure epic images of forbidden sights and dark madness with their fourth full-length ‘Rise of the Elder Ones’. The Canadians fuse the relentless onslaught of DEICIDE and SUFFOCATION with the massive dramatic sense of BEHEMOTH and DIMMU BORGIR, while adding a sinister and heavy melodic approach associated with the Stockholm school of death metal into their own crushing sound. ‘Rise of the Elder Ones’ witnesses NECRONOMICON fine-tuning their style to perfection as a new peak in a career that began as early as 1988 with the founding of the band by guitarist and singer Rob "The Witch" Tremblay in the deep northern part of Canadian province Quebec, called the "Fjord of Saguenay". NECRONOMICON always put quality before quantity and accordingly took their time before releasing any material. The first sign of unholy activity was a demo entitled ‘Morbid Ritual’ (1992), which quickly spread through the underground. ‘The Silver Key’ EP (1996) established their fast growing reputation firmly on the national map, before the eagerly awaited debut album ‘Pharaoh of Gods’ (1999) became a modern classic over the years as its eerie amalgamation of brutal dark metal and ambient atmospheres was ahead of its time. Although having taken their name and occult inspiration from the famed literary invention of American master of weird horror fiction H. P. Lovecraft, NECRONOMICON followed up with a tribal concept album ‘The Sacred Medicines’ (2003) based on American Native myth featuring the "Red Bull" singers from Western Canada's Cree Nation on the title track. Having relocated to Montréal and thoroughly conquered their homeland, NECRONOMICON turned their somber attention towards the outside with the first international release ‘Return of the Witch’ (2010). And the world responded with invitations to prestigious festivals such as Inferno (Norway), Ragnarok (Germany), and the Barge to Hell metal cruise among others. The trio also shared stages with well established acts such as CRADLE OF FILTH, DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH, and MORBID ANGEL, to name but a few. Now NECRONOMICON are about to bring their lurking musical vision into more dangerous and sinister and dimensions than ever.

NECRONOMICON - Line-up:
Rob 'The Witch' - Vocals, guitar
Armaros - Bass
Rick - Drums
