FACEBREAKER BIOGRAPHY

Facebreaker were formed in 1999, following a conversation between Janne, Roberth, Mikael and Jonas. They had similar music tastes and decided to start a brutal and straight-forward metal band. A few rehearsal-sessions later they added lead guitarist Janos to their line-up. Facebreakers first demo "Use Your Fist" was recorded at a local studio in the beginning of the new millennium.

In March 2001 they went back to the studio to record a promo demo called "Hate and Anger". 2002 U.K. based Rage of Achilles Records got hold of their promo and offered the band a deal. A Rage of Achilles compilation album called "Conquest For The Empire" was out in April, featuring Facebreaker along with other new signings on the label. In September Janos quit the band due to lack of time. Fortunately they knew a guitar-player named Mika and a line-up change took place.

In June 2003 Facebreaker’s promo demo "Hate and Anger" was released on seven-inch vinyl. In July the band entered Black Lounge Studios to record their first full-length album "Bloodred Hell". "Boodred Hell" was released in the beginning of 2004. It achieved great reviews and feedback all around the world. Unfortunately Rage Of Achilles went out of business somewhere between late 2004 and early 2005 and "Bloodred Hell" was never given the right amount of exposure it deserved.

Without a record-deal Facebreaker made a new promo demo and started to work on new material. Facebreaker got several offers from interested labels but finally choose to work with Singapore based Pulverised Records. 2007a new record-deal was closed with Pulverised Records and in July the band went back to Jonas Kjellgrens Black Lounge Studios to record their second full-length album "Dead Rotten and Hungry". 2008 Facebreaker released "Dead Rotten and Hungry" through Pulverised Records. The album is being licensed to Cyclone Empire for a limited edit. vinyl release. Facebreaker plays Party San Open Air in Germany and is getting enthusiastic feedback.

Facebreaker did their first European tour in 2009 and an amazing show at the With Full Force-Open Air Festival in Germany in front of more than 10,000 people. In September, “Bloodred Hell” is being re-released by Cyclone Empire with additional bonus tracks. A new worldwide record deal was signed with Cyclone Empire at the end of 2009.

On the first of January 2010 they started to record their third studio album called ”INFECTED”. This time they choose to work with Jonas Kjellgren at Black Lounge Studios and Peter Tägtgren at ABYSS studios.

“INFECTED” was released in October that same year. The release was followed by gigs and festivals all around Europe, and they did a massive show at the mighty Summer Breeze festival in 2011.

In 2012 they started to work on their upcoming fourth album “DEDICATED TO THE FLESH” and in January 2013 they entered Mr Plec’s The Panic Room Studios to record the drums. The rest was recorded in Slowly Rotting Studios and Crypt of Death Studios in their hometown Finspång and in Mars they went back to The Panic Room to do the mix and mastering. The result speaks for it self, a maximum assault of zombie death metal anger. Released in Europe 28.06.2013 through Cyclone Empire Records.

GAEREA - Limbo - 2020 -
Season Of Mist
Genre: Cathartic Black Metal

"(...) Magnificent azure
A lantern uncovers the road
Spectrum of a banshee wrapped in disguise
We have just found a new paradise
This time without any mistakes
Saturation muffled by the pain
Been there with them all, through the land of nothing (...)"
GAEREA | Song: Mare | Album: Limbo |

THE BAND AND THE ALBUM:

Cathartic black metal sensation band GAEREA are about to release their second and most profound and challenging creation to the date, the tormenting new album entitled "Limbo" overcomes all that this vortex community has created before and proving with it that GAEREA is a band to keep a close eye on and to follow very carefully, a band that quickly caught worldwide attention, respected both by media and extreme metal adepts! The band had an absolute meteoric ascension, achieved uniquely by own merit and the combination individual members talents and geniality. The reasons for the band success came not only from of their strong visual aesthetics but at most by the whole GAEREA concept... a combination of both powerful and emotional music with matching video creations, still, if that wasn't enough their strong theatrical/atmospheric presentations on each of their live performances shall leave no one indifferent to such obscure disturbing arts.

GAEREA are a mysterious black metal quintet from Portugal that have emerged upon this world in the beginning of the year 2016. At fall of the same year the band has already released their self-titled debut EP (released by Everlasting Spew Records) which was an authentic mind-blowing piece of twisted black metal art, a sick creation that left no one indifferent to such tormenting dark splendour. The very positive reactions came from all over the globe!
Two years later the band has unleashed upon this tortured world their debut full-length entitled "Unsettling Whispers" (Transcending Obscurity Records). This album has become the consolidation of what the band has been paved through the previous years, reaching a notorious integrity and solid identity and in this way defining a brilliant path ahead. GAEREA have received the best reviews and made themselves noticed all over the extreme metal universe, this has allowed them to tour with bands such as Jupiterean, Numenorean across Europe and also do a headlining tour over China. GAEREA have performed in great festivals such as SWR Barroselas (POR), Throne Fest (BEL), Frantic Fest (ITA), among many others!

For those who will have their first contact with the band, I can only say that they are among the best new black metal bands out there, GAEREA shall please adepts of bands such as MGLA, Uada, Mephorash among others.

Now signed with one of the best European record labels, Season of Mist, the band will soon release "Limbo" which is one of the best albums I personally heard of its genre in a long, long time!
Words cannot describe the magnitude of this amazing piece of blackest metal art, so intense, so decadent, so profound... a disturbing and an absolute mind-twisting masterpiece! GAEREA took a huge step forwards from the predecessor album to this new one, reaching a level of maturity that the most of the bands take ages to acquire. GAEREA have now reach a solid identity, something that flows naturally on each of their organic musical creations.
"Limbo" is a "Nightmarish" emotional journey across an abyss of pain, suffering and despair... watch our decadent human society as it falls deep into a void of numbness, an abyss of endless torment! The new album becomes in all its length a vivid experience to ones senses that shall awaken ones conscience to what our fragile world has become.


ALBUM DETAILS:
"Limbo"
is one of the best metal albums ever to emerge from Portuguese lands, an elaborate work of extreme metal excellence that was recorded, mixed and mastered over Demigod Recordings in Portugal by the genius hands of Miguel Tereso. The final work is beyond amazing, I think that GAEREA couldn't pick a better option for this masterpiece creation as their music breathes, flows and gets its own life though this world-class and elite level final product result. "Limbo" has a perfect symbiosis of all musical elements, sounding organic and never over polished, yet and always with the best musical definition and own identity! A studio/producer to keep in mind for bands worldwide!

GAEREA lyrics follow the line of the previous releases, keeping the essence of the main band thematic and concept. "Limbo" is an emotional journey beneath the blackened skies of modern society, a place where our lives are highly controlled and formatted by higher powers. We are nothing on this vortex community, just another lost soul with predestined destiny, no control over our path. As disturbing as it may be, the only way to escape from this void is to end up our pitiful lives.
This sinister world has no real values, no real life, this is just a huge vortex of nothingness. Today's society has made things so vain that you can't even be entirely free to live on your own! This is the world of GAEREA, something they explore through their elaborate and eloquent lyricism!

GAEREA vocals are one of the most important parts of their music as they express at best the power of the strongest and deeper emotions like agony, despair, suffering, anguish, sorrow, disturbance, hatred, etc. The equilibrium between vociferations, guttural and whispered vocals give all the right dynamics and tension to the whole piece. GAEREA vocalist is a force of nature and has here a flawless performance, same can be felt on the band live shows with an intense visual experience!
The drums and guitars as the whole GAEREA sound has become even deeper and more intense than ever before, also intentionally rawer and faster than over previous works. The whole sound and atmosphere created by each track is explored to the maximum level of detail, carefully elaborated as all the masterpieces of pure Alchemy, a tormenting delight to ones ears and a true masterpiece of black metal art!


The album cover art has been done by Eliran Kantor who has created already fantastic works for bands such as
Testament, Iced Earth, Sodom, among others. This time he has illustrated the whole "Limbo" concept in another amazing, yet disturbing painting, an art so vivid and full of meaning, giving you a glimpse of what the album is all about. A world of wondering formatted souls in a senseless void of emotions, a lifeless world of monotony! To awake from such a world (Limbo) is to give a meaning to your life and make it your own by stepping out of the pack and leaving those who are lost to this void way behind our backs!


TRACK-BY-TRACK:
With "Limbo" GAEREA took a great step forwards from the debut album "Unsettling Whispers", enhancing each of its elements into a grandiose emotional level, this is without a doubt a rawer and faster album where easily you can trace the bands very own identity, a notorious disturbing character both intense and obscure. "Limbo" shall leave a mark on their listeners who can't be indifferent to such abominable black metal creation. The more you listen to it, the more you get deeper into this void society and hollow existence of Man over such rotten universe!

"To Ain" introduces the listeners to this decaying world where we are all owned, just "Slaves of our own creation", victims of our own deeds which culminated on this void society we all live in, a wondering abyss from which we may never return.
This is in my opinion one of the best tracks ever created by the band, capable of reaching an emotional level that shall give you Goosebumps and shivers down your spine. A hymn of darkest splendour that combines the best elements that define GAEREA ever-growing sound, an authentic nightmarish vision of our existence in this world of hurt, pain and agony! I simply love the tension and heaviness that they put on this music.
The break in the middle of the song is beyond amazing as it slows everything down and makes you transcend for a while into a moment of clarity, simply something you need to listen and experience, this is such bliss among massive agonising darkness, moments like this make you go deeper into the bands world and music. After this amazing moment the band ravages your ears once again with such intentional torturing darkness, hitting you hard and with a voracious malice! Amazing!

"Null" quickly follows, this is a song that explores the vision of the undying martyrs, souls of another time which had the power of living their lives on their own, not a forced life that was programmed and predestined even before our birth! This is a song about defiance of common standards that teases you to escape from this senseless world!
"Null"
is another fast instigating track with a really catchy melody, a song that will be in your ears since the very first listening. The level of intensity of each track is something that the band meticulously measures and masters like few this days, this song is a proof of that balance and extremity!

"Glare" is the next track and one of the fastest and most brutal songs of this whole nightmarish piece of black metal art! A both aggressive and vicious song full of pure dark adrenaline!
"Glare" is a frenetic journey across lands of false hopes and dreams, a place we may never escape from and may never see but a glimpse of light (life itself), something that seems so unreachable since we (Humanity) are meant to follow not lead!
"Glare"
reveals a rawer and faster approach to GAEREA traditional sound, something that shall be a delight to all those who like their black metal both aggressive and brutal!

"Conspiranoia" comes next, a deeper dark and tormenting song that allows your already tortured ears to rest... but only for a while! A well balanced dark eerie track with some haunting chants that shall give you shivers and
absorb your attention towards such sinister creation.
"Conspiranoia"
makes you wonder why we live our lives so indifferent to what we might achieve. We should dare to explore more our own capacities and become something more than just a slave to this predestined monotony. This is without a doubt the point our lives have become these days over our modern societies. Living our life with inertia is like living our life with a blindfold, we could all reach much further if only we could see through our own our eyes and explore the world around us!

"Urge" is the track that follows and it deals with this vain and senseless world we all live in, a world of sensual emptiness, formatted by higher standards where you cannot live your own life in our own way unless you make a stand urgently, we should all use this will to achieve our own goals!
With "Urge", GAEREA reveal a whole new "
death metal'ish" approach that gives this song particularly and the whole album in general a daring diversity within extreme metal sound proving with it that GAEREA musical horizons go way beyond any black metal boundaries. With it they create a whole new experience that shall please any extreme metal adepts.
This is another track that that gets out of the pack and proves that this band has still allot to offer to their listeners, hard to believe that this is only their 2nd album! Such level of maturity and meticulous musical measures elevate each of GAEREA creations!

"Mare" is the last and longest track of such transcendental masterpiece; this is a nightmarish vision of what our lives have become on today's modern societies.
Far on the deep horizon our eyes can already visualize the long-promised freedom. To reach this goal in life seem not that far away, but what in a way seems to be at your grasp may yet be so far away once you finally try to reach for it.
It's always an hard task to crawl from the deepest abyss to embrace this so called paradise, the utopia of a promised land! ... shall we ever reach it?... or shall we all die trying!
This is a true musical nightmare of eerie whispers and doomed chants, a hymn to all human damnation in a world without sense. As on the whole album the balance of heaviness and slower but painful moments give this whole piece a dose of intensity and depth that puts this band on top of what is being done in extreme metal this days!
To finish this inglorious requiem with a golden key we have a unsettling instrumental outro!

THE CONCLUSION:
GAEREA
new album "Limbo" consolidates the band status as one of the most promising black metal bands out there. “Limbo” is an album so intense, emotional and vivid that hardly you will find words strong enough to describe it without diminishing this grandiose and defiant black metal creation. GAEREA new album will twist peoples mind and awaken their darkest emotions, teasing them to act on this rotten and senseless modern society, provoking them to take a stand and walk by their own shoes and set their own path in life, leading it as their own, assuring you that this life is yours not others!
I dare to say that "Limbo" is probably the best Portuguese metal album ever created to the date and one of the best and most challenging black metal albums I heard in the last years, becoming without a doubt in this way, one of the best offers of its genre for 2020! 
"Limbo" is a defiant creation brought upon this world by an alliance Portuguese brilliant and creative minds who found a way to crack the monotony on an already saturated extreme metal universe! GAEREA have forged an obscure tormenting masterpiece, an album both rawer and faster than any of its predecessors.
Close your eyes and enjoy this dark vivid experience upon this void society! Be sure to set your emotions free because I assure you, this will not be a pleasant ride! Do not to fall too deep and be sure to wake up before it's too late and you become consumed by this deep abyss!

DIABOLICAL BIOGRAPHY:

More than twenty years after their formation in northern Sweden, innovative blackened death metallers DIABOLICAL proves to be more vital than ever and puts forth “Eclipse”, a concept album reflecting on the dark side of humanity that forces the listener to explore his own diabolical side. The album is a tour de force with spitting musical and aesthetic complexity swirling around a dense soundscape of excellently distilled and refined ideas, altogether forming a rare display of musical craftsmanship equaled by very few contemporary metal bands.

DIABOLICAL was founded in Sundsvall, Sweden back in 1996, and has since released 5 full-length albums, in addition to two EP’s. Ever since then they have followed no one, and no one has followed them. Already with their early efforts “Deserts of Desolation” (mini album, 2000) and “Synergy” (2001), DIABOLICAL stood out as something different from the death metal bands coming up at the time, representing something unwilling to be categorized easily. Quickly following the release of their second full length, they toured throughout Europe several times during 2002-2003 presenting their repertoire.

Returning in 2008 with full force they delivered a milestone in their discography. Taking their innovative death metal a huge step further, they flung the listener into the darkest corners of the human mind, bringing to life restrained aggression and hunger for vengeance in “The Gallery of Bleeding Art”. The album received brilliant reviews and was followed by headline tours throughout Europe.

In January 2011 “Ars Vitae” was released, containing 17 tracks from different parts of the band’s career.

2013 saw the release of the band’s most ambitious album thus far. “Neogenesis” stood out as something truly unique. The album raised the bar for concept albums as it in addition to being a music album, it was also a novel. Binding every song with a chapter of the book, the music, lyrics, storytelling and philosophy of “Neogenesis” blends together to create a profound experience that left a deep impression on fans and press. Reviews were raving and the following European headline tours were hugely successful. The band appeared at many festivals, toured the UK and toured Europe again supporting Borknagar in 2016.

On their previous release, the “Umbra” EP (2016), DIABOLICAL continued to craft inventive music, moving seamlessly between crushingly heavy and dark to delicate and ethereal. But “Umbra” was a mere foreshadowing of what was to come. Produced again by vocalist/guitarist Sverker Widgren at Wing Studios in Stockholm, the new and 6th album “Eclipse” picks up where “Umbra” left off and once again DIABOLICAL manages to top their previous efforts.

With nine gracefully raging songs, “Eclipse” presents DIABOLICAL as a mature and sophisticated band ascending to new heights.

GAEREA BIOGRAPHY:
Style: Cathartic Black Metal

Something rises in the bleak and blackened skies of society as we know it. Vortex community GAEREA are about to bestow their Undying Sigil to the masses, with their brand-new full length ‘Limbo’!

GAEREA is a black metal quintet from Portugal. Emerging in the beginning of 2016, the band released their first (self-titled) EP on November 11, 2016 through Everlasting Spew Records. The EP received many praises from the worldwide press, and it was not long before the first full length "Unsettling Whispers" (2018) was presented.

With that, GAEREA had the pleasure to perform and tour festivals in Europe and China, including performances with Jupiterian in April 2019 and a headlining Chinese tour in May 2019. The band already performed at festivals like SWR Barroselas Metalfest (PT), De Mortem et Diabolum (DE), Throne Fest (BE), Frantic Fest (IT), Eresia Metal Fest (IT), Amplifest (PT) and many more. During the fall of 2019, the band did an extensive tour with label mates NUMENOREAN under the Doomstar Bookings wing throughout Europe.

Are you finally ready for the tale of the Fallen Society and the journey to the vast Void, the only good in Life? Let us begin then. In the first hopeless circle, on too great and Undeniable Nothingness. WE ARE GAEREA.

HATE - Announce new drummer!

HATE
COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: DEATH BLACK METAL



HATE ANNOUNCE NEW DRUMMER!
[2020.06.11]

Mighty Polish blackened death cultists HATE announces new drummer, Daniel Rutkowski.

After 6 years, 3 albums, and countless shows on almost every continent, HATE's drummer Pawel "Pavulon" Jaroszewicz has decided to leave the band to focus on new projects.

Pavulon states: "The last 2 years were pretty difficult for me because of a relentless work schedule in all the bands and projects I worked with, resulting in constant exhaustion and eventually health problems, mainly with my wrists from all the abuse and imperfect technique. Late last year, I started rebuilding my playing from scratch and also paying more attention to my health and work ethics. I chose to take a break from my usual work routine and use the time to get back on track in the future with a brand new approach. With this in mind, I decided it would interfere with Hate's activity, and the last thing I want are my personal issues to affect others' hard work. Therefore, I decided to let go and allow my good friend Daniel to step in and carry on the legacy. He's an amazing young drummer, and I'm sure you'll be amazed by what he will bring to the band's sound and performance. I would like to thank Hate for all the years we shared for better and worse. It was definitely an important part of my life, and I will always be thankful for this journey."

HATE adds: "We would like to wish Pavulon all the best in his projects to come and thank him for his contributions to the band.
With that said, we welcome the talented Daniel 'Nar-Sil' Rutkowski to the band. Nar-Sil has already sat behind the drums for Hate during the 'Europe Under Black Death Metal Tour Vol II' and worked with many big names in the Polish Metal scene such as Virgin Snatch, Neolith, Embrional and Dira Mortis."


Nar-Sil comments: "I'm super excited about joining Hate and the new material we are hard at work on! Things have been moving quickly, but the flow is excellent, and in time, I'm sure the fruit of our labour will be powerful and monstrous Extreme Metal. I'm looking forward to showcasing what we've been working on, and of course, seeing you all on the road!"

HATE plan to return to the stage soon! In the meantime, fans can watch a new drum play-through by Daniel "Nar-Sil" Rutkowski, made in cooperation with Drummers From Hell:

GAEREA - Release "To Ain" videoclip from the new album "Limbo"!

GAEREA
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: BLACK METAL




GAEREA RELEASE "TO AIN" THE NEW TRACK/VIDEOCLIP OF "LIMBO"!
[2020.06.08]

Cathartic black metal outfit GAEREA are now releasing a second brand new track; 'To Ain', taken from their upcoming album 'Limbo' (out via Season Of Mist  July 24).

GAEREA comment on the single: "'Slaves of our own creation' and the dismantlement of the lost society in its most natural and organic form. A majestical Ode to the Nightmare of Existence and all its flaws. TO AIN is for all of you forgotten souls who have fallen into the most morbid and putrid Hole. A Place so below you might never reach to the surface again. Towards the Earth. Wondering the Abyss, To Ain. Being this song one of the most raw and intimate pieces Gaerea has ever written, this visual content serves its unique purpose of bringing the most grotesque truth upon us all. In this One Single Shot Performance we embrace what really makes us human: our Agony towards our very last breath. With no Gimmicks, no cuts, no edits, let this performance show you a brighter glimpse of what we feel, cry and crawl among our Fallen, Vast, Void Society."

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS "POSTMORTEM WHISPERING CROWS" NEW EP DETAILS!

Polish melodic black / death metal mavericks DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS recently announced the signing with Non Serviam Records.

"Postmortem Whispering Crows" has been released on September 13th 2019.

ORDER NOW:
Webshop: https://bit.ly/2YKSb4D
Bandcamp: https://non-serviam-records.bandcamp.com/album/postmortem-whispering-crows


Music wise "Postmortem Whispering Crows" simply continues where “The I” left off. Having introduced some rock-like solos on the latest full-length these unreleased tracks seem to be characterized by even more open approach to the genre. "Postmortem Whispering Crows" is an epic journey across black death metal with the band's own, unique flare to it.

Quazarre (vocals / guitars) comments:
“One of my all-time greatest inspirations has always been literature of The Young Poland (a modernist period in Polish literature, covering roughly the years between 1890 and 1918). The movement promoted trends of decadence, neo-romanticism, symbolism, catastrophism and impressionism. Having quoted ‘Dzieci Szatana’ (Satans Kinder) by one of the period’s visionary Stanisław Przybyszewski within the lyrics of our “Adventvs” EP, it’s been a logical way for me to immerse both ‘The I’ and ‘Postmortem Whispering Crows’ EP even deeper into the decadent world of other haunted figures associated with the philosophy of their leader. The quoted authors following the period’s concept believed in decadence, an end of all culture, the conflict between humans and their civilization, and the concept of art as the highest value.”

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS BIOGRAPHY

Formed in the year 2000, initially as a studio project and transformed into a live act in 2006, Devilish Impressions is a dominant four-piece Epic Black Death metal band that’s quickly pummeling through the genre and making their way to fans and media around the globe.

Since the horde’s first day, the notion of freedom of choice and will has been a highly prevalent belief and theme amongst the band’s music, imagery and overall message. Devilish Impressions united and began the process of shaping up their spirit and self-consciousness making their initial presence with their debut demo “Eritis sicut Deus; Verbum Diaboli Manet in Aeternum; Vox Vespertilio Act I – Moon Var Dies Irae” which received great attention from fans after the band self-released it in 2002.

Once Devilish Impressions made their introduction to the metal community, they followed up their debut release with their first full-length titled “Plurima Mortis Imago” released in 2006 via Conquer Records. The sophomore release proved to push the band onward as they joined forces with Aeternus for the European “Ageless Void Tour 2006”. A lot of great exposure landed Devilish Impressions a spot as direct support for Marduk on the “Swords in The East” Eastern European run in 2007. After solid touring opportunities and album promotion, Devilish Impressions returned to the studio in May of 2007 to record their forthcoming album titled “Diabolicanos – Act III: Armageddon” which was mastered by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio (Belphegor, Krisiun, Dew Scented).

Before release of their full-length sophomore album, Devilish Impressions appeared at the Red Alert Festival supporting bands like Deicide, Suffocation, Benediction and Immolation. The band followed up by ending 2007 with a headliner run across Eastern Europe on the “Verbum Diaboli Tour 2007”. Once “Diabolicanos – Act III: Armageddon” was released in 2008 via Conquer Records, international praise was given by fans and press to the band for the record, and allowed Devilish Impressions to reach new heights in their career. The band followed up with the great success of the album by landing a support slot on “The Apostasy European Tour” with Behemoth and Suicide Silence as well as embarking on a tour with Dismember in the UK and Ireland.

In 2008, Devilish Impressions was invited to partake on select shows of “Wacken Road Show 2008” with Overkill, Tristania, Samael and Enslaved. This opened up a solid platform for the band to release “Diabolicanos – Act III: Armageddon” via Empire Records and greatly expand the reach of the band’s music. The band followed up this release with a joint home country tour called “Rebel Angels Tour Vol. 3” with Hate. The rest of 2008 proved to be extremely proactive for the band as they supported Satyricon, were offered a co-headliner slot with Rage at Pro Rock Festival and also appeared at Metal Heads Mission Festival with Moonspell, Gorgoroth and Samael.

Once the band had reached this level in their career, they took time to get back into the studio to work on their third full-length album. A lot of time and energy was put into the new album, and “Simulacra” was released in 2012 via Lifeforce Records (EU/North America), Icaros Records (Poland), MSR Productions (Russia, CIS) and Mort Productions (China). The album was voted one of the best melodic black metal/metalgaze album at the 2012 Metal Storm Awards, and of course coupled with ample press and fan feedback from around the globe. This also got the attention of The Flaming Arts Agency that allowed the band to explore many new opportunities.

Devilish Impressions took to the road heavily in support of “Simulacra” and appeared at notable festivals and predominant tour listed below:
· Hard Rock Laager (w/ Samael, Melechesh)
· Carpathian Alliance (co-headliner w/ Dark Funeral, Carpathian Forest)
· Castle Party
· Brutal East
· “Fear No Gods of The East Tour 2013”
· Wave Gotik Treffen (w/ Paradise Lost, Lacrimosa)
· Metal Fest Open Air (w/ Helloween, Accept, Sodom, Down, Satyricon, Destruction)


In the summer of 2013, Devilish Impressions ramped up for their next studio session and made plans to re-enter Hertz Studio for their forthcoming “Adventvs” EP. The new material was mixed and mastered by Arkadiusz Malczewski at Sound Division Studio (Behemoth, Decapitated). To round off a grandioso release, Devilish Impressions had their 2002 demo “Eritis Sicvt Devs” re-mastered and paired with “Adventvs”. The combined album released in 2014 features over an hour of brand new and never before heard material showcasing experimental black metal at its finest. Soon after Devilish Impressions went on the road in support of “Adventvs”, they got the attention from Hammerheart Records that released “Adventvs” as 12” MLP in February 2015.

The emissaries of the devil took the surge of action with the album and hit the road once again, spreading their message across the motherland as part of the tour with Christ Agony and Beheaded. Shortly after, the band appeared at NCM Festival Vol. 4 (co-headliner w/ Vader) and Dark Fest II (w/ Vader, Decapitated, Hate and more). This left the passion raging on all levels and gave Devilish Impressions an easy return to the studio in May 2015 to commence the recording sessions for “The I” – the band’s fourth full-length album which is said to be their darkest, heaviest and most intriguing offering to date. The record features special guest appearances by Mike Wead (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond) and Ares (Aeternus, ex-Gorgoroth, ex-Immortal).

The title chosen, “The I”, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym of the band’s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since the Horde’s inception in the year 2000 – the notion of freedom of choice and will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and paradigms. “The I” is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection.

Ahead of the album’s release Devilish Impressions announced a long awaited tour for their legion of fans in China and Taiwan supporting the “Simulacra” record, released in China through Mort Productions in September 2016. The trek lasted for nearly a month and is believed to be the most extensive tour any foreign metal band had ever played there.

In the meantime, Devilish Impressions joins the roster of New York based Extreme Management Group alongside notable bands such as Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Origin, Cryptopsy, Atheist, Rings Of Saturn, King Parrot, Internal Bleeding and many more. With the newfound partnership, both sides worked together in making the band’s future endeavors the most prominent and impactful with their fans respectively and the rest of the metal genre.

“The I” album hits the stores on September 22nd 2017, again via Lifeforce Records. Released to a rave reviews worldwide it enables Devilish Impressions to hit the road with Norway’s Endezzma for a row of gigs across their motherland. This was followed by the group’s headlining appearance at Metal Head’s Mission / Black Sea Storm Festival 2018.

In January 2019 Devilish Impressions headlined Dark Winter Meeting Festival in Malta. June saw them touring South Asia, this time around reaching out to fans in Indonesia (The Karnival Festival, co-headliner with Pestilence), Hong Kong and Singapore.

Upon their return from Asia Devilish Impressions announced signing with Non Serviam Records for the release of “Postmortem Whispering Crows” EP – a follow up to their critically acclaimed 4th studio record “The I”. Music wise “Postmortem Whispering Crows” simply continues where “The I” left off. Having introduced some rock-like solos on the latest full-length these unreleased tracks seem to be characterized by even more open approach to the genre. “Postmortem Whispering Crows” set to be out in September 13th 2019 is an epic journey across Black Death Metal with the band’s own, unique flare to it.

The band has recently confirmed its appearance at Metal Mine Festival in August (w/ Asphyx, Harakiri For The Sky) with European tour in the making.
