Swedish death metal masters DEMONICAL have just announced that on the 8th of November they will
start to nail down the bands fifth full-length album, the first
one to feature our their vocalist Alexander Högbom and the first recording
in years featuring a permanent 5-piece line-up.
The sessions will take place at various locations around Sweden and the
recording will be mixed and mastered by the award winning producer
Karl Daniel Lidén, known from his work with acts such as Terra
Tenebrosa, Katatonia and Cult of Luna.
The album will continue the traditional DEMONICAL path with fierce HM-2 driven Swedish death metal, however,
it will also feature some new elements and streaks we haven’t explored before as
well as bringing forth traces from the past.
Expect a spring 2018 release through Agonia Records
followed by worldwide touring.

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: BLACK DEATH METAL
NEW ALBUM
"THE I" OUT
TODAY!
[2017.09.22]
Epic black / death metallers DEVILISH
IMPRESSIONS' have just released today their new album "The I",
this extreme metal masterpiece has been released by
Lifeforce
Records.
Recorded at various studios, including
Dobra 12 Studio (drums) and Icaros Studio (guitars) the disc was
mixed and mastered at
Impressive-Art Studio by Przemyslaw Nowak who also handled vocals
recording sessions and guitars’ re-amping. The album’s artwork, design and
layout were created by
Infected Minds. Photo session by Robert Zembrzycki and Pawel
Kowalski of
BandPhoto
The album features special guest appearances by
MERCYFUL FATE /
KING DIAMOND’s guitarist Mike
Wead and by Norway’s dark metal masters
AETERNUS’ vocalist / guitarist Ares. Other artists who also
contributed to the record are shamanic ritual meditative experimental act
BÖN and
Impressive-Art Studio’s owner PRZEMYSLAW NOWAK who came up with
interludes, additional background tunes and effects.
“It’s been a really long way to be finally able to wrap it all up, countless
nights spent on writing the music and lyrics first, then working on the album’s
pre-production, followed by what seemed to be never-ending, proper recording
sessions, and tones of work that had to be done for the band afterwards. We
really wanted this new album to become something really special and therefore,
to avoid any haphazard decisions, we let them come out of us smoothly, without
putting ourselves under any external tension and stuff. Did it pay off? Well,
we’ll see… We surely worked our asses off, pushed things back and forth to get
the best out of it. As a result we’ve got something we are damn proud of,
something that we believe surpasses on all possible levels everything we’ve done
in the past. I simply believe we’d outdone ourselves and recorded something that
will cause your hearts beat faster…” – comments Quazarre, the band’s
composer, vocalist and guitarist.
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.
Vinyl track listing: 01. The I 02. The Dove and the Serpent 03. Blood Imprinted Stigma 04. Eosphoros 05. Ipse philosophvs, daemon, Devs et omnia 06. The Fatal Messiah

[2017.09.29]
Spain's blackened death metallers
NOCTEM have just premiered over
METAL INJECTION their newest videoclip for "A Cruce Salus"!
"Noctem newest album Haeresis was all the blackened death
metal you could ever want in 2016, and the band is back once more to obliterate
worlds with its video for "A Cruce Salus." The song was a standalone
single released in May, and we've been given the privilege to premiere the
monochromatic and frankly grim as hell video for the track. The live performance
footage in the video was filmed by Metalovisión at three festivals in
Spain this past summer – Rock Arena, Resurrection Fest, and Leyendas del
Rock." METAL
INJECTION
The band says, “‘A Cruce Salus’ is the last track we composed
and a bridge between our latest full length Haeresis and our upcoming
record. We decided to record some of the festivals where we performed this
summer to capture the energy of the band in our live show, which is
outstandingly fast, ravenous and full of anger.”
