Os Suécos PAIN regressam a Portugal para um concerto único e
exclusivo em Lisboa, no RCA Club, dia 30 de Outubro.
A banda liderada pelo Sr. Peter Tägtgren um dos mais carismáticos
produtores no mundo do Metal, conhecido também pelo mentor dos veteranos
HYPOCRISY, passa por Portugal numa tour inserida na promoção do novo
trabalho dos PAIN “Coming Home” disponível no próximo dia 9 de Setembro.
A acompanhar esta extensa tour estão também os Germânicos THE VIOSION BLEAK,
eles que trazem na bagagem o seu mais recente album “The Unknown”.
Ainda com ambas as bandas temos também os DYNAZTY | da Suécia| e os
BILLION DOLLAR BABY'S |da Suécia| a tornar o cartaz
ainda mais forte, e imperdível.
Contamos com a vossa presença.
PAIN
“That's me, designed to piss you off - when Peter Tägtgren is ascending
from the depths of his legendary Abyss Studio to take the microphone, a
little musical revolution is inevitable. Because what else would you expect from
HYPOCRISY's death metal veteran, who not only plays industrial metal with
PAIN, but is considered to be one of the most influential producers in
the metal scene (DIMMU BORGIR, CHILDREN OF BODOM, SABATON etc.), and just
recently launched his controversial project LINDEMANN in partnership with
RAMMSTEIN's frontman Till."
Since the beginning of his career in the early 90s, the Swedish allrounder has
enjoyed diving into the extreme and has grown to be an untameable force. But
this is exactly what makes him so fascinating. Taboos, creative stagnation or
genre boundaries have never existed in the world of the 46-year-old mastermind.
And, of course, Peter Tägtgren wandered the same unexplored paths when
the time came to forge »Coming Home«, the 8th studio release of the
industrial institution PAIN. However, the path was long and winding and
therefore, the writing process for the follow-up of 2011's »You Only Live
Twice« wasn't all fun and games - but Peter Tägtgren is well prepared
for the fight:
“Sometimes you pull your hair out and lay sleepless all night long, because
you can't figure out this one chorus or don't know how to finish a certain song,"
admits singer and axeman Peter. “That's just me: When I dive into
it, there's no ending in sight. It's a self-destructive mechanism. But I want
perfection - or I don't want it at all."
Therefore, it is no wonder, that PAIN deliver a revolutionary mix of
styles on this new release - bizarre alternative metal meets electronic melodies
- and, in addition, the band weave some spectacular orchestral arrangements into
the tracks on »Coming Home«, without risking any cheesy moments or
overloading the songs. The result are ten highly addictive metal hymns with
massive depth and experimentation. Especially with the orchestrated parts,
PAIN entered a new era and seeked assistance from CARACH ANGREN's
Clemens “Ardek Wijers, who added some magical final touches to
Peter's bombastic songwriting. But PAIN also allow the album to
breathe with beautiful acoustic guitar intros appearing hand in hand with stormy
moments, showing the band at the zenith of their creativity.
When it comes to guest musicians, »Coming Home« rolls out a red carpet:
On drums, Peter's 17-year-old son Sebastian Tägtgren delivers an
impressive guest appearance and for the song 'Call Me', SABATON's
Joakim Brodén joins the team for some typically raw warrior vocals. But a
PAIN release wouldn't be a typical masterpiece without some enthralling
lyrics and fascinating topics: On the callboy-singalong 'Call Me' or
'Final Crusade', the band crawl through the deepest corners of society and
the human mind, while 'Absinthe-Phoenix Rising' is based upon an incident
in Leipzig during PAIN's tour with NIGHTWISH, where the band were
attacked and beat up after leaving an Absinthe bar. And of course, lovers of
mystery and conspiracy theories also get their money's worth with 'Black
Knight Satellite', just like on many previous HYPOCRISY releases:
“Nikola Tesla, who invented the lightbulb, electricity and other stuff,
thought that he heard beeping sounds from space, Peter explains the story
that inspired the song. “It was around the year 1899 and it seemed like a
message to him, a hidden code. He was the first one to discover it, but in the
1950s, when humans started to go into space, they heard the same noises and
found out: There is some signal from a satellite out there... but it isn't ours.
And as they started their research, they found out, that people had been talking
about this phenomenon for around 13.000 years. The story of this so-called
'Black Knight Satellite' is very fascinating to me - but whether it is true
or not... I don't know. But it definitely inspired me to write these lyrics.
Fitting the alien conspiracy and space theme, PAIN teamed up with
Stefan Heilemann for an obscure and spectacular album cover, after the
German artist had already produced breathtaking artworks for LINDEMANN
and EPICA.
So take a deep breath, before you jump into this sea of industrial metal,
thunderous orchestra arrangements and thrilling conspiracy theories - and Swedes,
who are just designed to piss you off, in their most elegant way.
THE VISION BLEAK
The Vision Bleak perform Horror Metal in perfection. When Ulf Theodor
Schwadorf (Empyrium) and Allen B. Konstanz (Nox Mortis) founded the
band back in 2000, they didn't suspect that their common project would soon
develop a larger-than-life independent existence. The duo's theatrical and dark
orchestral Metal knows no boundaries when it comes to opulence: Doom and Death,
strings and operatic vocals, horror-movie soundtracks, and dark fiction all feed
a kind of music that is 'Gothic' in the truest sense of the word. On each
of their albums thus far, Schwadorf and Konstanz have been
fathoming different dimensions of horror: from the tribute to various horror
classics on "The Deathship Has A New Captain" (2004) via the H.P.
Lovecraft-inspired concept album "Carpathia – A Dramatic Poem" (2005) and
the more straight-forward and heavier "The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey"
(2007) to the musical and conceptional quintessence of "Set Sail To Mystery
",“Witching Hour” (2013) and the just released new Album “The
Unknown” (2016). The Vision Bleak create a total work of art in image and
sound that is tailor-made to be brought on stage

ZORNHEYM DEBUT SINGLE "THE OPPOSED" DETAILS! [2016.07.25] ZORNHEYM
join forces with their new label for eagerly anticipated debut single, “ The
Opposed”.
Swedish extreme symphonic metallers
ZORNHEYM
have inked a deal with the Dutch label Non Serviam
Records. The debut single, entitled “The Opposed”, will be released on
the 19th of August through all digital platforms.
The single and the forth-coming album have been recorded and mastered by
Sverker Widgren, a renowned veteran of sound engineering on the Scandinavian
extreme metal scene (October Tide, Demonical, IXXI, Diabolical) with
cover art created by the wildly talented photographer and designer Jens Rydén
(Marduk, Thyrfing).
The single is part of
ZORNHEYM’s
concept that revolves around the horrors of a mental institution and its
inmates. Each song also has its own comic strip drawn by the amazing artist
Anu Bring (Märvel, Evil-lÿn, Satan’s fall).
Comment by guitarist Zorn: “We are absolutely stoked to be signing with Non Serviam Records. It’s
a hard working label that shares our vision and together we will release this
epic juggernaut the way it deserves to be released. We can’t wait to share this
beast of an album with you all!”
Added by Non Serviam Records CEO Ricardo Gelok: “By hearing the first tones of Zornheym, I knew that this is a band
that I would have to sign.
ZORNHEYM is an asset for the label, and it’s a
real pleasure to work with this great, and hard-working band!”
AKTIV DÖDSHJÄLP COUNTRY: SWEDEN
GENRE: HARDCORE METAL CRUST
NeKronos Promotion is proud to present the band of the NeKroWeek, they are
AKTIV DÖDSHJÄLP (Hardcore Metal Crust),
this is a kick ass band featuring members from Scar Symmetry,

The official videoclip for "Honmonstret (kvinnan som vägrade dö)"
from their album "Men allting har ett slut"
https://youtu.be/0tSkUZ1Qzro
Aktiv Dödshjälp was formed in 2004 by Tomas Nilsson who recently
had been introduced to Swedish crust sound. Being overthrown by this new world
of extreme music he felt an urge to create a band to explore this new dimension
in music.
After several demos, complication albums and a split 7” had been released
the majority of the band decided to quite due to the lack of interest, this was
in 2006. Tomas soon recruited new members to the band and wrote the band’s first
fullenght album, 4:48 which saw the light of day in the middle of 2007.
On this album he focused on mixing crustcore a lot with black metal and death
metal elements.
In 2009 Tomas recruited Roberth Karlsson (also known from his work in
Scar Symmetry and Facebreaker) to sing on the forthcoming Aktiv Dödshjälp
album. By this time Tomas felt that he had explored most of the crustcore
sound and started to experiment a lot more with hardcore elements in the songs.
The previous tours done with Devian had also affected Tomas way in
writing songs.
In 2010 the second fullenght album, Men allting har ett slut, was
released and soon got a lot of attentions in Sweden.
The video is for the song "Nihil in Me" from the forthcoming split 7"
with Azziard to be unleashed on Aug.12. Preorder it now at the Kaotoxin

NO CLEAN SIGNING WORDS ON NIRNAETH SPLIT:
"Earlier this month we reviewed an impressive new
split by two experienced French bands from the black metal underground — NIRNAETH and
Azziard. The split, which includes one exclusive song from each band, will
be released on August 12 on 7″ vinyl by Kaotoxin Records — the first 7″
ever released by the label. Now we’re following that review with the premiere of
a video for NIRNAETH’s
powerful track, along with an interview of the band’s guitarist Mutill.
NIRNAETH, who took
their name from the word for “Tears” in the elvish language of Sindarin from the
works of J.R.R. Tolkien, began their existence roughly 15 years ago. Prior to
this split, they released two albums, Thrown Athwart the Darkness in 2006
and Splendour of the Abyss in 2009. Their contribution to the split is a
track called “Nihil in Me”, and it was was recorded during the
pre-production process for a forthcoming third album.
As we learned in the accompanying interview, this new album, like the first two,
will tell a story, and “Nihil In Me” is a central part of that narrative
— “where the body is regarded as a dam and the blood like a lake frustrated”. In
this song, the story’s central character “decides to sabotage the dam in order
to leave his body ‘as one leaves a scorched earth'”.
To represent this concept of a body as a dam, the video focuses on tight shots
of faces and bodies — which intensifies an already intense performance.
The music itself is a turbocharged assault of gut-punching percussion and fierce
riff swarms, with poisonous vocal vitriol. The chaotic torrent of black metal
savagery is broken by a head-bobbing, hard-rocking interlude before the
hell-ride resumes and rockets toward its conclusion."

Blackened Death Metal
* "The umbra, penumbra and antumbra are three distinct parts of a
shadow, created by any light source after impinging on an opaque object. For a
point source only the umbra is cast.
These names are most often used for the shadows cast by celestial bodies, though
they are sometimes used to describe levels of darkness, such as in sunspots." -
Umbra, penumbra and antumbra
From the darkest majestic lands of Sweden come the constantly progressing
blackened death metal warriors Diabolical, a conquering band formed in Sundsvall
back in 1996! Since then Diabolical defiant musicians kept on refusing to do the expected!
The band returns now with
an absolutely outstanding EP by the title of "Umbra", a natural follow up
to the critic acclaimed predecessor "Neogenesis",an
album that
in our opinion was without
a doubt the best of the year 2013!
With this new release the band gives another step forwards in their career, this
is in our opinion the bands most mature, deep dark and intense sound to the date! With this revolutionary sound
the band takes their
post-apocalyptical concept into an absolute new level!
"Umbra" brand new EP has without any doubts the most elaborate sound created
by Diabolical to the date! In this new chapter the band steps forwards into
fields of majestic darkness with 4 newly crafted tracks full of innovative and
inventive extreme music, all of this with a constant renewed own identity, an identity
that assumes many forms but hardly the most expected ones, impressing their
listeners with powerful melodies, delicate ethereal hymns and archaic darkness!
A constant eerie vibe embraces each Diabolical creation, a seal of
colossal identity and quality!
"Requiem" introduces the listeners into this masterpiece with a
bone-crushing heavy track containing a very own cold dark touch of enchanting darkness, here
the clean vocal choirs give an even deeper enchanting aura to the already
ethereal sound! "Diaspora" takes you forwards through this darkly intense
death metal piece of art! This is a quite dynamic strong track, where slower and
doleful parts combine in perfection with faster doom daring creations! Consumed
by "Diaspora" black flames of horror we move forwards into "Tremor",
an absolute new experience to Diabolical listeners, containing spoken
excerpts from the late Jiddu Krishnamurti‘s "Talks on Fear", this slower,
yet intense track takes you into a eerie melancholic journey, inciting you to
close your eyes and transcend, meditate through a dark celestial plenitude! This
track easily detaches from all the others I heard of Diabolical before, a bright
new experience for all the listeners!
To end this majestic EP we have the track
"Decline", a defying and ultimate barbaric assault into the
listener’s ears, this
is another fantastic strong track with an outstanding unearthly guitar solo.
The dynamism of Diabolical musical metamorphosis is impressive to say
the least, the top-notch variations from dark slower to heart-ripping fast melodies are on
the edge of what is being done these days on extreme metal camp!
The top quality of this "Umbra" EP is undeniable! The sound created at
Wing Studios in Stockolm by vocalist Sverker Widgren is simply
outstanding!
Now as a four piece, the extreme metal riders of the Apocalypse Sverker,
Carl, Dan and Pär have proved to be one of the best emerging bands on
the extreme metal scene; their constantly evolving music is indeed quite in front of what is being done in a already saturated
metal genre! Diabolical musician’s talent and geniality is undeniable, not only musically but also
artistically, worthy to be mentioned, the EP cover art is another conception of
the main lyricist Carl Stjärnlöv (guitarist) creative mind!
This quality and "know-how" has allowed the band to be part of several significant tours like
the latest European ones with bands like Borknagar and Kampfar!
If you are into bands like Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Borknagar, Fleshgod
Apocalypse, Septic Flesh then you will find this EP to be a must in extreme
metal collection!
All in all, "Umbra" is a blackened death metal journey across deep
dark shadows of phantasmagorical splendour! Profound and eerie enchantment shall
lead your path through this post-apocalyptical sterile land of human decadent
awareness and spiritual renewal! Diabolical undeniable quality and ever-growing extreme metal structures
set higher and higher the boundaries of extreme metal itself! Ear-catching and
addictive, "Umbra" is in our opinion one of the best pieces of metal for
this year and most probably the best EP of the year 2016! Be sure to get a copy
of this outstanding piece of extreme metal art!
