Originally formed in 1997, Fenris has a 14 year history of combining
thunderous viking metal with scorching black metal. At times blindingly fast,
sometimes atmospheric, but always melodic and
dynamic.
With strong roots in Nordic and Germanic mythology, and some of the lyrics in
their mother tongue, the mood set is that of ancient peoples, their hopes and
beliefs and their wars and hardships. To date,
two albums have been released: 'Offerings to the Hunger' (2001) and
'Ordeal' (2005), the last of which was an unsigned release.
In their existence Fenris has shared the stage with Enslaved, Sear
Bliss, Rotting Christ, Tyr, Einherjer, SkyForger and many others.
On the 1st of September 2016 Fenris released their new album ‘...en
doodenakkers tot den horizon’, which is distributed through Snakebite/Rockinc
Entertainment.

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 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.
GAEREA have
returned to prove that they are only the band who can guide us into the
darkness.
"As someone who's already heard Coma in full, you're getting a glimpse at one
of the best metal records of 2024", wrote Metal Injection
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.

Death Metal band from Sweden. If you are an adept of such music and theme you gonna love them! Get ready to be infected by the dead!
Show your support and share this info to all your metal brotherhood if you like what you have heard!
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.

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 ABYSSICwill release
their 3rd album entitled "Brought Forth In Iniquity" on
October 28th
through Osmose
Productions.
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.

DIABOLICAL COUNTRY:
SWEDEN GENRE: DEATH BLACK METAL
NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the band of the NeKroWeek, they are
DIABOLICAL (Swedish Death Black Metal), one of the best bands in their
genre, this with such outstanding quality. DIABOLICAL are
constantly progressing, refusing to do the expected! Show your support and share this info to all your metal brotherhood if you like what you have heard!
Tracklist: 1. We
Are Diabolical 2.Betrayal 3. Black Sun 4. Failure 5. Inception 6. Hunter 7. Tyranni 8. The Fire Within 9. Requiem
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 - COMA EUROPEAN HEADLINER TOUR IN 2025! [2024.10.01]
Extreme metal outfit
GAEREA have
just revealed detais from their "Coma European Headliner Tour" in 2025 to
promotetheir new album "Coma" scheduled to be
released on the 25th of October 2024 via Season of Mist!
In the shadows where desolation meets defiance,
GAEREA
beckons the daring, the pilgrims of darkness, to traverse realms marked by
haunting beauty and devastating intensity. Celebrate the descent with Coma,
as
GAEREA
announces their 2025 European tour - a symphony of anguish and transcendence.
In despair and isolation,
GAEREA forged
Coma, their fourth full-length alchemy of sound. Known for transcending
the confines of traditional black metal, the masked visionaries have unveiled an
opus that ripples with the agony of existence and the fleeting beauty within
ruins. Crafted under the adept hand of Miguel Tereso at Demigod
Studios, Coma promises an unyielding venture into the urban abyss.
Tracks like World Ablaze and Hope Shatters have already enticed
the faithful with their blend of fiery tremolos and perilous melodies. These
soundscapes capture the essence of
GAEREA's transformative power, offering sanctuary to those who find
solace in desolation.
As the final echoes of Coma resonate,
GAEREA will
carry this symphony of void across Europe to incite catharsis amongst the
yearning masses. Mark these dates in blood:

GAEREA - RELEASES "SUSPENDED"! [2024.09.26]
Cathartic black metal outfit
GAEREA have
just released their new music video for "Suspended" from their new album "Coma" scheduled to be
released on the 25th of October 2024 via Season of Mist!
GAEREA thrive
on the purging of raw emotions, but on their upcoming fourth album, the
Portuguese masked sensations prove that they're no longer just a black metal
band. With Coma, they're surfacing to the top of extreme metal.
While produced by their trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, Coma expands
GAEREA's signature sound by pulling it in two seemingly opposing
directions. "Suspended" is haunted by moments of intense beauty. The
band's new single is accompanied by a video that's both stunning and
soul-stirring. But the pensive moments only heighten its crushing blows.
With its sharp and slithering riffs,
GAEREA's
previous single spiked the anticipation for Coma to an almost unbearable degree.
"Suspended" holds their captive audience in even greater suspense. Like a
spider weaving its web, the somber, opening guitar melody unfolds with great
care before the booming blast beats swallow you into the band's inescapable
vortex.
"I stand at a fateful divide / where choices collide", their tortured
vocalist screams as if dangling from the grip of a soul-wrenching vice. "Hell
breaks loose".
The never-ending maze that
GAEREA dared
us to enter during the album's first official single is obscured by an even
thicker haze on "Suspended". But the band stay clear of any stylistic
dead ends. The blindingly fast tremolo picking suddenly relents, opening up a
post-rock passage that twinkles like a dying star. "No words can explain why
I chose as I did", their vocalist sings in one great, long mournful sigh.
"Suspended" stands as the first song in
GAEREA's mantle-worthy discography to feature clean singing, but the
soft shift only sets up the song's final knockout. All at once, the riffs,
blasts and screams come roaring back into the fray behind an elevated gothic
choir, bringing the band's level of despair to crushing new heights.

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.
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.
