EYECONOCLAST - THE AWAKENING OF DEATH/THRASH IN ITALY!

Have you guys checked out Eyeconoclast Italian Death/Thrash Metal yet?
These guys feature a former Fleshgod Apocalypse and Hour Of Penance drummer (expect some furious blasts!) and last year they released Drones of the Awakening” album with Prosthetic Records one hell of a Death/Thrash album.


MORE ABOUT EYECONOCLAST!

The band moves its first steps into the eerie realm of heavy music in 2003.

After some initial line-up changes, the band starts to personally build its own musical address under the influence of Sci-fi and Posthuman themes with the only will to play the faster and most furious Death/Thrash Metal ever heard so far.

A first raw demo, "Cursors", and the debut promo "Binary Encoded Sunset" (2004) have been recorded at 16th Cellar Studios by Stefano "Saul" Morabito, which soon after substitutes Cristiano Trionfera (now with Fleshgod Apocalypse) as guitar player.

An intense live activity takes off (including an epic and crowded gig in Caserta opening for the death metal legends Dismember on their Italian tour) while the band continues working on the new material and in 2005 the self-produced MCD “Clustered Dead Ending Corridors” marks the entry of Mauro Mercurio (ex-Hour of Penance) as drummer.

In 2008 the swedish label Downfall Records releases the first full-length “Unassigned Death Chapter”, with Giulio Moschini (guitarist of death metal killers Hour of Penance) on the bass duties.
New line-up changes see the entry of the talented bass player Paolo Ballarotto (ex-Malfeitor) and the recordings of the EP “Sharpening Our Blades on the Mainstream” (2011).
In 2012 Eyeconoclast finds a permanent singer in Giuseppe Di Giorgio and joins the roster of the renowned label Prosthetic Records.

The second full-length, “Drones of the Awakening”, is released on April 2013 while the band’s supporting the european tour of Cryptopsy, Cattle Decapitation, Decrepit Birth , and a tour in Japan with Septicflesh and Svart crown.

HIDEOUS DIVINITY - DEATH METAL RISING IN ITALY!

Born between Italy and Norway in late 2006 as a project of HOUR OF PENANCE founding member Enrico Schettino, HIDEOUS DIVINITY immediately gains attention in the underground thanks to the "Sinful Star Necrolatry" 2-track demo, an intriguing mixture of European and American extremities released at the end of 2007. The first live appearance of the band takes place only in late 2010 though, when the band, with the first stable line up since the day of its birth, flies to in Scandinavia for 2 festivals together with Sweden's DM masters, long standing friends INSISION. In the meantime, new songs are ready: European death/black influences give way to a more mindful, complex yet straight-in-your-face death metal assault in the vein of NILE, IMMOLATION and HATE: the embryo of the first full length release is born.

After another successful appearance in Scandinavia at the end of April 2012, this time for the prestigious Inferno Festival in Oslo (Norway), a 3-album deal with the legendary DM label Unique Leader is made official: in late July 2011 the band enters the renowned 16th Cellar Studios (HOUR OF PENANCE, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, TRIFIXION, VOMIT THE SOUL) to start with the recording sessions of "Obeisance Rising", debut album for the Californian label. The lyrical concept is based on John Carpenter's immortal masterstroke "They Live”, dramatically relevant testimony of a dark era that never ended.

2013 brings finally a lot of live activity: Russia/Ukraine in March/April 2013 (With Dyscarnate), Switzerland/Germany in fall 2013(w/Viscera Trail),Co-headlining UK Tour in December 2013 (w/ Iniquity and Unfathomable Ruination). Band also appears at the Carnage Feast 2013 (Switzerland), and Lowlands Deathfest 2013 (Italy).
Finally the band enters again 16th Cellar Studios in early 2014 for the upcoming, highly awaited 2nd album. Once again a movie based concept, once again death metal at its finest: “Cobra Verde” (based on Werner Herzog’s masterstroke) will be out to reduce the world to shreds later this 2014… stay tuned.

Reviews of “Obeisance Rising”, out at the end of April, 2012, are no less than enthusiastic. Here you have most notable:

- 9/10 for German RockHard Magazine;

- Album of The Year 2012 for No Clean Singing.com;

- Included in Antiquiet.com's Top 10 Metal Records of the Year 2012

- Included in Technicaldeathmetal.com's Top 10 Metal Records of the Year 2012





HIDEOUS DIVINITY's 2nd full lenght "Cobra Verde" is going to to be released this fall by Unique Leader Records. Confirmed for this year:
ChaosFest, Belgium (w/ Cryptopsy, Sinister, Disgorge and more), Aalborg Metalfest, Denmark (W/Cannibal Corpse, Dark Tranquillity, Revocation, Aeon), Ludwigshafen Deathfest, Germany (w/Centurian, Cerebral Effusion and more)
