"THE DEVILS" DETAILS!

Diabolical death metal squadron BELPHEGOR have released their new album "The Devils" out via Nuclear Blast Records.
Once again their trademark sounding "Diabolical Death Metal" will be brought to the world. The outstanding artwork was created by Greek artist Seth Siro Anton, with exalted design elements influenced by renaissance and middle age paintings.

With "The Devils", long-running diabolical black death metal titans BELPHEGOR unleash their twelfth studio album upon the masses, which proves to be one of the strongest and most elaborate records in the groups career. Mixed & mastered at renowned Fascination Street Studios by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Dimmu Borgir, At The Gates), "The Devils" sounds absolutely crushing and dynamic, sonically pushing the immense variety of the eight tracks to new heights.

The band comments: "Hail! Today we are finally unleashing our new album "THE DEVILS" in its entirety!
I think the greatest strength of this twelfth BELPHEGOR album are the many new elements incorporated into our unrelenting soundwall, which illuminates the offering shine with an evil ritualistic light. We tried to push the boundaries as musicians and as a band to bring the eight soundcollages to a new level of “Diabolical Black Death Metal” extremity. An intense atmosphere was our goal.
"THE DEVILS" is the perfect demonstration of how we wanted to sound in the year 2022, every aspect expressing what we seek within BELPHEGOR!"
In Musick, Helmuth

BELPHEGOR BIOGRAPHY

DIABOLICAL DEATH/ BLACK METAL ART SINCE 1993

The dark days of autumn and winter are approaching as European troop BELPHEGOR plant another signpost to Hell upon the Earth's surface. One of the most consistently extreme bands on the Death/Black scene crest their throne built of bones once again to uncompromisingly attack humanity, three years after their 2014 demonstration of brutality, »CONJURING THE DEAD«. »TOTENRITUAL« consists of nine compositions which, blow-by-blow, silence any doubts about the supremacy of these icons of the European scene. Merciless riff force, crunchy blasts in a dark setting – 24 years after their foundation, BELPHEGOR’s inventive creativity places them head and shoulders above the rest. Anyone looking for silence, beautiful melodies and a life-affirming aura will suffocate under the power of »TOTENRITUAL.«

Even small interludes takes the listener to a safe place only for a short period, before the next brutal attack follows. The eleventh studio album of the undisputed Death/Black Metal scene conductors follows the sophisticated path of its precursors and will have their followers kneeling down in humility. The commander of death-sounds does not use a blunt corset of henchmen for his attacks on society's conventions, but demonstrates his skills as a high-class songwriter. From determined songs, embossed by an obsessed directness, to majestic ritualistic hymns - followers of darkest sermons will be led directly into the abyss. »TOTENRITUAL« enters mercilessly into the procession of BELPHEGOR's works of art: another thorn in the eye of every upholder of moral standards – the end is heralded.

For the recordings of »TOTENRITUAL«, the squad retired to Stage One Studios in Germany and Studio Mischmaschine in Austria.

For the diabolic wall of sound, the explosive material was sent across the pond and was refined in the Audiohammer Studios in Florida by Jason Suecof [Mix] and Mark Lewis [Mastering]. The impressive cover artwork was again created by the Greek artist Seth Siro Anton, who has also created the striking visual countenance for »PESTAPOCALYPSE VI« [2006] and »CONJURING THE DEAD« [2014].

BELPHEGOR was founded in 1993 and spread like a virus within the underground. Meanwhile, their »BLOODBATH IN PARADISE« demo has become legendary and paved the baleful path into the souls of thousands of listeners. Anti-religious with nihilistic tendencies as well as provocative topics, BELPHEGOR moved on. The debut album »The Last Supper« [1995] let the community of followers and opponents grow. Inexorably, the band pushes their destructive ways forward in the following years. BELPHEGOR become louder, more obsessed and more dynamic, and their albums now have cult status. To think about the scene doesn't work without thinking of BELPHEGOR. In 2008, the band sent their followers to the edge of hell with »Bondage Goat Zombie« and sparked an all-consuming Death Metal fire with blasting black metal influences. This masterpiece, inspired by the Marquis de Sade, is one of the most demanding works the genre has offered to this day. BELPHEGOR showed themselves equally brutal and baleful on the successors »WALPURGIS RITES - HEXENWAHN« [2009] and »BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE« [2011]. The band received a lot of great feedback for their intense live performances as well, and reached out to a big and loyal fan base. Their obscure rituals full of diabolical magick have haunted the world several times – next to extensive tours through Asia and Europe, BELPHEGOR have also completed ten tours through North America. No matter where BELPHEGOR march forth on this planet, be it on your stereo or live on stage, one thing is for sure: after the crest of their devilish death ceremony, there will only be a heap of ruins remaining!

Band of the NeKroWEEK - GAEREA - Portugal - Cathartic Black Metal

GAEREA
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: CATHARTIC BLACK METAL




NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the band of the NeKroWeek, they are GAEREA (Portugal) an intense cathartic black metal experience. This is an impressive band that unleashes some of the most sickening dark and sinister extreme metal we have heard in years! A mind-blowing band that crafts mysterious and rebellious extreme metal art!
Show your support and share this info to all your metal brotherhood if you like what you have heard!

Check out "Hope Shatters" videoclip from the new album "Coma": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c25PUDKiVnQ



Music Video Directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz
Produced by Grupa 13 (Behemoth, Dark Funeral, Arch Enemy, etc.)

When Gaerea secretly gave everyone a sneak peek at their new album back in April, they set the world ablaze. Now, with the first official single off "Coma", they're ushering in the immediate aftermath. "Hope Shatters" opens with a lone guitar that wails like a siren before a whirl of blast beats sucks the world back into the band's vortex.

"Welcome to the urban abyss", their unnamed vocalist pronounces. "Where dreams turn to rust".

GAEREA aren't afraid to embrace harsh realities. There's clean singing on Coma, but the swarming darkness of "Hope Shatters" is only punctured by cries of agony. Even when the song collapses under its blistering heaviness, the melody hangs perilously in the air, like a swaying chandelier, before it's smashed to pieces by hammering bass and concussive drum fills.

Still, perhaps GAEREA have uncovered a shred of hope from beneath the blackened wreckage. As "Hope Shatters" meets its end, the band push ahead through the ashes with a triumphant, headbanging riff. "Enter the maze through the never-ending haze".

GAEREA arrived shrouded in mystery. The masked sensations emerged from pandemic limbo with a vision for black metal that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of emotion. Existential dread still pulses through the Portuguese band's blood, but their upcoming fourth album signals a shift in psychology.

With "Coma",GAEREA are no longer strictly a black metal band. Instead, they're breaking to the forefront of extreme metal. Though their new album was produced by trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, it broadens the band's signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. There are more moments of intense beauty, but they only heighten the ensuing blows.

The world may be as hopeless as the album's lead single declares. But with "Coma", GAEREA have returned to prove that they are only the band who can guide us into the darkness.


GAEREA BIOGRAPHY:
Style: Cathartic Black Metal

[ Photo by © Chantik Photography ]

Behind black shrouds of obscurity and desolation, the performers of GAEREA deliver their odes in cascading maelstroms of aggression and beauty. Emerging from the age of pandemic to whatever awaits humanity next, the dark horde remains on the frontlines of the next generation of extreme metal. With an EP and three albums to their name, GAEREA has rapidly distinguished themselves from the thousands of bands toiling away in the underground. Brewing their cauldron of sound from a recipe of pounding black-metal blast mixed with a touch of harrowed, reflective longing, many devotees of the darkened arts have flocked to their banner. With the emergence of third full-length album Mirage, those numbers certainly grew.

GAEREA met a challenge when releasing their second album during the pandemic, the aptly titled Limbo, to excellent world reception. In the meantime, they found the total suspension of interactive life as it was previously known to be the perfect breeding ground for further creation and making.

Sizzling with ambition from day one, GAEREA may present one unique face to their audience, masked and enshrouded, but the truth is they have not remained changeless.

As their previous album name Mirage suggests, the inability to trust what our senses are telling us could be construed as one of the album’s central themes. Rather than constrict their art to mythological references or anti-religious tropes, GAEREA instead plumb the depths of the human experiences of isolation and suffering.

Just two years since Mirage was released, GAEREA is here, erupting with intensity, casting forth black ashes over the world yet again.

Their latest release, Coma, has finally surfaced, marking a pivotal shift. From this point forward, everything changes. It's time for GAEREA to bridge the gap between underground metal and the elevated realm they've attained. With Coma, GAEREA emerges from the underground scene, ascending towards a permanently lasting position at the head of the table.

An emotional gateway to a dark black metal scene, a guide to salvation, pain, despair and letting go. Moving up, into the blackness that is above. GAEREA is the answer, the only answer.

Within "Coma's" ten tracks lies an individual narrative, each with its own tale to unveil. Collectively, they blend nuances of aggression, tranquility, solitude, and fervor.

Boasting a superior production that threads the needle between caustic and clarity, GAEREA yet again admit their loyalty to producer Miguel Tereso of Demigod Recordings for the production of Coma. Together they created the birth of "Coma", the new era for metal mankind. Distinguishing themselves ever more so, the Vortex handpicked their artist Nathan Lorenzana with a clear assignment to create their mesmerizing cover artwork. Months of hand drawing the image with a ballpen lead to this masterpiece which dipped his name into ‘Coma’.

The beauty of GAEREA lies in the directness and simplicity found within their florid tapestry of extremity and aggression. Whether it is in the less-polished aural dynamite of Mirage, or in the lustrous textures of Coma, GAEREA is building a mighty edifice of metal. With talons dipped in the inky blood of black metal and scraped across the flesh of human suffering, GAEREA is leading a charge into the future of darkness, and all those who find beauty and power in the dark side of existence would do well to take heed.

Band of the NeKroWEEK - ABYSSIC - Norway - Doom Death Metal

ABYSSIC
COUNTRY: NORWAY
GENRE: DOOM DEATH METAL




NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the band of the NeKroWeek, they are ABYSSIC (Norway) Orchestral Doom / Death metal dark entities from Norway. Formed by veteran Norwegian extreme metallers known for their work with bands such as Susperia, Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child, Sirenia, etc.
ABYSSIC
sound is astonishing symphonic experience of obscure funeral doom and death metal combined with some old-fashioned Norwegian black metal and a touch of sophisticated progressive rock from the 70's.
Show your support and share this info to all your metal brotherhood if you like what you have heard!


Check out
"Djevelens Lys" from their latest album "Brought Fourth in Iniquity" the latest album out via Osmose Productions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZPWn9UoZCc  



BIOGRAPHY:
THE BRINGER OF DOOM

ABYSSIC is a unique symbiosis of atmospheric approaches in funeral death/doom, with black and prog influences. The signature is enhanced by orchestrations with Mellotron, Minimoog and Upright Bass.

ABYSSIC is a result of a collaboration between Memnock (Susperia), Elvorn (Susperia) and André Aaslie (Funeral, Images At Twilight, Gromth & Profane Burial) and together with Asgeir Mickelson (Ex-Borknagar, Ihsahn) they recorded the debut album 'A Winter's Tale' in February 2016 (Osmose Productions).

Later 2016 Tjodalv (Susperia, Ex-Dimmu Borgir, Old Man`s Child) and Makhashanah (Henriette Bordvik) (Asagraum (Live), Ex-Sirenia) joined
ABYSSIC, and together with Memnock, Elvorn and Aaslie they bring you the ABYSSIC darkness with album nr 2, "High The Memory".







"BROUGHT FORTH IN INIQUITY"DETAILS:

Orchestral Doom / Death metal dark entities ABYSSIC will release their 3rd album entitled "Brought Forth In Iniquity" on October 28th through Osmose Productions.

The album art was created once again by Mitchell Nolte Art and Illustration for ABYSSIC, exclusively.

Finally, ABYSSIC's third opus is here, and the long wait is over... The music is much more violent, faster, and the lyrics are even more haunting than on the last two albums. The orchestration is beyond everything they have done so far and is even more beautiful than ever. So, in other words, "Brought Forth in Iniquity" is faster and more brutal and more beautiful than ever. All we can say is: Expect the unexpected.

ZORNHEYM BIOGRAPHY

Founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn, who was determined to shake up the traditional "metal-meets-symphony" approach after leaving iconic black metallers Dark Funeral, ZORNHEYM quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and narrative driven concept revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its prisoners. The band's critically acclaimed debut album, "Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns" opened the doors of the asylum in 2017, introducing the terrifying concept and gruesome characters within. Four years later and featuring 10 new tracks of powerful, cinematic and mesmerizing symphonic extreme metal, ZORNHEYM's upcoming album picks up where they left off, inviting the listener on a distracting journey, straight into the depths of the asylum! Once again, ZORNHEYM create their very own wall of sound by using a real choir and a string quartet and bring the story to life in a graphic novel that accompanies and expands upon the stories behind the album!
