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!

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!

GAEREA - Releases "Coma" new music video!

GAEREA
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: EXTREME METAL

GAEREA - RELEASES "COMA" MUSIC VIDEO!
[2024.11.13]

Extreme metal outfit GAEREA have just released their new music video for the title track "Coma" from their new album. "Coma" is already out via Season of Mist!

GAEREA are waking into a new era. The Portuguese masked sensations are no longer strictly a black metal band. With "Coma", they've surfaced to the top of extreme metal. Their critically acclaimed new album racked up more than 1 million streams within 24 hours of landing on Spotify.

"Coma, the quintet's fourth full-length, not only finds them sharpening their craft", FLOOD gushes, "but it also makes a strong claim as 2024's best metal record, regardless of subgenre".

To lay claim over their new domain, later this month, GAEREA are touring North America with Zeal & Ardor and Zetra. Today, the band are treating the vortex societies in the U.S. and Canada with a tantalizing glimpse of their striking live performance. The new video for "Coma" includes never-before-seen footage from this year's treks to China and Taiwan, though the title track off their new album also shows just how far GAEREA have come.
 
Watch the video for "Coma": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_uq-VAlJAk



Though produced by their trusted confident Miguel Tereso, "Coma" broadens GAEREA's signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. The title track is one of the heavier songs on the whole album. Concussive drum fills open the floodgates for a venomous groove that shakes its scales like a dragon. But its tortured screams and piercing melodies reveal a mysterious phantom pain.

"This is the song that explains the whole record, basically", the band's unnamed vocalist told Apple Music. "I was thinking about how to write a song about someone in a coma, but they're still conscious of it. Because if there's no consciousness, there won't be a song. So, this is a bit like waking up in a dark room and seeing the whole word around you, but you can't really figure out if it's reality, if it's memories, if it's your imagination, or just your lost dreams in life. It deals with that anxiety of trying to figure out if you're really here or not, or if this is the afterlife - and whatever the afterlife might look like".



Next year, GAEREA are taking Coma on their first headlining tour of Europe. Catch them in April in Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

"This is the band's best-sounding album to date. It's powerful, dark, menacing, driven, melancholic, rich, textured, atmospheric - it's all of the above" - A&P Reacts

"This is Gaerea at their most vulnerable and fragile emotionally but strongest musically, not just reaching but exceeding everyone’s hopes and leaving your heart shattered in the best possible way"
- Distorted Sound

"The only question left is whether or not the masks retain their anonymity with all of the attention they will get after Coma" - Everything is Noise

"Bigger, more confident and with a more varied musical palette, Coma is hideously strong" - Wonderbox Metal

"when they put their cloaked heads down, Gaerea indubitably deliver the goods" - Metal Hammer

"Gaerea are back and ready to conquer the world" - Metal Temple (10/10)

"Quite simply some of the finest, most dynamic shit you've heard all year" - Metal Bites (9/10)

"Much like the highly anticipated sequel to a major box office hit, Coma came with all the preconceived notions and baggage, and yet it still manages to completely blow the fucking roof off" - Ghost Cult Magazine

NIRNAETH BIOGRAPHY

2001 : I Am Nothing But A Cry In A Chaotic Torment
Mutill (guitars) and Malaria (bass) decided to create a Metal band with their most extreme influences : Morbid Angel, Immortal, Lord Belial, Dissection, etc.

2002 : I Become Flesh
Yamaël (drums) joined the band, followed by Zig (screams) a few time later. The band choose the name ‘Nirnaeth’ for its epic and poetic dimensions : ‘Nirnaeth Arnoediad’ is the name of a battle in Tolkien’s universe and means ‘eternal tears’.

2004 : Nothing But Ashes
After some first gigs 'Nothing But Ashes' emerged. This self produced demo contains 4 titles which already carry with them what characterizes the music of Nirnaeth : an organic structure articulated around devastating riffs with dark melodies and themes dealing with pain and madness.

2006 : May Their Martyrs Suffer Once And For All
‘Thrown Athwart The Darkness’ has been released on label Great Dane Records. Recorded at Midnight Studio, this first album exposed the horde to the extreme metal scene. The album title was taken from a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

2008 : The Horns Resound
Laboga Amps endorsed Mutill, alongside musicians from bands like Motorhead, Behemoth, Annihilator, Hate Eternal, etc.

2009 : It Lieth, Gazing On Midnight’s Sky
‘Splendour Of The Abyss’ was released on label Great Dane Records. Recorded once more at Midnight Studio, this album met very good reviews and allowed the band to multiply gigs.

2015 : Fire Gave Me A New Face
Vagorn replaced Yamaël on drums. The year ended with a participation at the second edition of the Gohelle Fest (Obituary, Rotting Christ, ...).

2016 : None Can Control It
The label Kaotoxin released 'Dramatis Personae', a split 7"EP with bands Azziard and Nirnaeth. A video clip produced by BullDogProd has been made for 'Nihil In Me'.

2017 : None Can Possess It
Marbas joined the band as second guitar player, allowing the band to explore new ways of creation. The third album, entitled 'From Shadow To Flesh', was produced in 3 studios : drums were recorded at Psykron studio by Phil Reinhalter, guitars and screams at Aeternal Studio by Mutill and finally mixing and mastering were done by Deha at Forbidden Frequencies Studio.

2018 : From Shadow To Flesh
A deal is signed with Malpermesita Records. 'From Shadow To Flesh' will be released in september 7th 2018. It's a concept album dealing with possession, from 2 perspectives. Cover was made by Above Chaos. First 500 copies are limited hand numbered digipack.

No one combines death and black metal quite like Poland’s HATE. With unflinching viciousness and a sense of atmosphere unique to the band, on Rugia, their twelfth full-length, they push the boundaries of their craft even further. “It was clear to me that it should build upon and evolve from our previous record, ‘Auric Gates Of Veles’ (2019), both musically and lyrically. However, every Hate record stands as a separate journey, and never twice to the same place. You never know exactly where it will lead you,” states vocalist/guitarist ATF Sinner, who has led the band since 1991. Fresh blood in the band’s line-up also helped contribute to Rugia‘s unique sound. Pavulon (drums), who had played with the band since 2014, was forced to step down from the band due to serious health issues. The band tapped Nar-Sil (Neolith, Virgin Snatch, Embrional) to take his place. “Working with a new drummer this time around was a fascinating experience for me. Nar-Sil’s technique and presence are quite different from Pavulon’s, and that definitely comes across. I believe we managed to construct a refreshing new chapter to our discography, composing nine truly sinister onslaughts of pure rage.”

The band elected to once again track the album in the Hertz Recording Studio in Poland, and it was recorded, mixed and mastered by the Wiesłaski Brothers (Behemoth, Decapitated). Everything was laid down over about two to three weeks, with longtime collaborator Michał Staczkun providing the ambient elements of the band’s sound. The only struggle came about at the mixing stage, where the final character of the record emerges. “Here we encountered many problems, contradictory visions too. The producers had their own idea for the overall sound, which differed from what I had in mind, so we were trying to find a good compromise and it took us a few months.” Given how strongly the personality of the record shines through, it is safe to say that the compromise reached was definitely in its best interest, standing as perhaps the best sounding record in the band’s long career. Hate is also celebrating thirty years of activity with Rugia, Sinner affirming he is as driven as ever. “Well, the fire is still burning! I’m proud that I have built a band with such strong energy, that’s lasted for a long time in spite of numerous line-up changes and obstacles in our way. We are still here and we create with ever growing consciousness and dedication. The energy speaks through us. Honestly, I think of the band as something much bigger and more profound than the individual people involved in it over any given period of time. I believe we create a channel for energies that surpass us.”




HATE BIOGRAPHY

No one combines death and black metal quite like Poland's Hate. With unflinching viciousness and a sense of atmosphere unique to the band, on Rugia, their twelfth full-length, they push the boundaries of their craft even further. "It was clear to me that it should build upon and evolve from our previous record 'Auric Gates Of Veles' (2019) both musically and lyrically. However, every Hate record stands as a separate journey, and never twice to the same place. You never know exactly where it will lead you" states vocalist/guitarist ATF Sinner, who has led the band since 1991. Fresh blood in the band's lineup also helped contribute to Rugia's unique sound. Pavulon (drums), who had played with the band since 2014, was forced to step down from the band due to serious health issues. The band tapped Nar-Sil (Neolith, Virgin Snatch, Embrional) to take his place. "Working with a new drummer this time around was a fascinating experience for me. Nar-Sil's technique and presence are quite different from Pavulon's and that definitely comes across. I believe we managed to construct a refreshing new chapter to our discography, composing nine truly sinister onslaughts of pure rage."

Writing for Rugia commenced shortly after Auric Gates of Veles was released. However, Hate soon began to tour extensively in support of their then new opus, and the production of new music was put on the back burner. But come 2020 and the COVID pandemic, the band's touring plans with Belphegor and Suffocation were abruptly cut short. With this unexpected infusion of free time, the band decided to buckle down and finish writing the material they were working on.

Sinner and Nar-Sil were joined by Domin on lead guitar and Tiermes on bass, who played with the band live since 2018, to complete the lineup. "Although I wrote the riffs, main arrangements and lyrics, we all worked on what you hear on Rugia. We put the pieces together and re-arranged fragments as a team. Our albums are always a collective effort and Rugia was no different," asserts Sinner. Sound-wise, they were mainly inspired by nineties extreme metal, both black and death, and they wanted to keep their sound as organic as possible. Warts and all. "It sounds quite harsh, very dynamic and unrestrained. It also has a strong ambient element to it that emphasizes the material's tone and dark atmosphere. The rhythm section is more death metal influenced this time around, which harkens back to our roots. You could say that most of the songs on this album are 'pagan death metal' - a combination of epic riffs and ferocious blasting rhythms." One thing that might come as a surprise to fans is the manner in which Sinner uses his voice, which is a lot more sophisticated than on previous records. "I tried to make my voice sound at three different timbres, or even different people behind the microphone. Sometimes the voices are combined together, sometimes they are more like separate vocal lines. I wanted to build this enriched narrative, and at our shows, I think Tiermes will help me with some of the vocal lines to bring that effect to a live surrounding."

Lyrically, the album sees the band continue to delve into the depths of Slavonic mysticism. "Generally, all the songs on the album are dedicated to the ancient Slavic world - great migrations, wars, battles, and the struggle for survival. But there is also a philosophical level to it, which is very important. Slavic mythology is a collection of universal stories touching upon fundamental issues that we all encounter in our lives. Therefore it is a frame that allows me to write about contemporary problems that I encounter myself from a different perspective. Along the way, I discovered my pagan soul and I encourage people to do the same. I think everybody has this deeper, more profound identity based on understanding our unity with nature, something that goes beyond all the civilizations we have built." The album title is taken from the archaic name of a German island on the Baltic Sea now called Rügen. In ancient times, Rügen or Rugia, was a site of holy pilgrimage to the pagan Slavic people. It was the very heart of the western Slavic faith, housing the fabled stronghold of Arkona. The album is at its core a tribute to Rugia and its tribes and the culture they created.

The band elected to once again track the album in the Hertz Recording Studio in Poland, and it was recorded, mixed and mastered by the Wiesłaski Brothers (Behemoth, Decapitated). Everything was laid down over about two to three weeks, with longtime collaborator Michał Staczkun providing the ambient elements of the band's sound.
