DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: MODERN EXTREME MUSIC
DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS FINISHING THE NEW ALBUM!! [2015.11.10]
All Poland's epic black / death metal
Devilish Impressions is currently hard at work on the
production (mixes) of their latest, 4th studio record. Comments the band's
driving force, Quazarre:
"When entering the studio ( Impressive-Art
Studio) we thought we had a clearly defined idea on how the new record
was supposed to sound like... Well, after a while, in spite of looking in the
same direction, it turned out we were kind of acting in a contradictory manner.
And it wasn't about us fighting over which instrument should play the key role
here or e.g. which one should get louder, no! Not at all! We simply got stuck,
to a certain extent, because of an enormous accumulation of visions that were so
different from each other it was impossible to make them work together. Luckily
enough it seems we have found the light in the tunnel, finally..."
The title for the album is yet to be revealed while the record itself is said to
be the band's most mature, darkest and heaviest offering up to date.
'Adventvs' extented version that also features the band's 2002 demo
'Eritis Sicvt Devs' is available as digipak CD and can be ordered here:

NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the first band of the NeKroWeek, they are
FACEBREAKER, a killer Zombie addicted old school Swedish
Death Metal band featuring members
of Scar Symmetry, Aktiv Dödshjälp. 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.
DIABOLICAL COUNTRY:
SWEDEN GENRE: BLACKENED DEATH METAL
NeKronos Promotion is Proud to present the second band of the NeKroWeek, they are
DIABOLICAL (Swedish Death Black Metal), one of the best bands in their
genre, this with such outstanding quality, a band that is
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!
Ever since DIABOLICAL was formed in
Sundsvall, Sweden, in 1996 the band has caused confusion among the
narrow-minded, constantly progressing, refusing to do the expected. 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. The reception from fans and media was very
good, resulting in a lot of coverage in major metal press at the time.
Following the success of the second full-length album "A Thousand Deaths"(2002) the band toured Europe several times in 2002-03 with
AMON AMARTH, VOMITORY and DEFLESHED among others, co-headlined Open Hell
festival (2002) and Kaltenbach Open Air (2003) and played several
other festivals as well. The albums were later re-released in South America, and
both albums were released in the USA as well.
2004-2008 the band only did few live appearances mainly due to Widgren’s
intense and increasing work schedule producing other bands at his Necromorbus
Studio.
But in 2008, after several years of record label related problems,
DIABOLICAL returned with full force and delivered a milestone in their
discography; taking their innovative death metal a huge step further they
plunged the listener into the darkest corners of the human mind, bringing
restrained aggression and cravings for vengeance to life in "The Gallery of
Bleeding Art". The album received brilliant reviews and was followed by two
small but very successful headline tours though Europe.
In January 2011"Ars Vitae" was released, containing 17 tracks
from different parts of the band's career. The newest material was recorded at
Necromorbus Studio in 2010, and was again produced by founding
band-member Sverker Widgren. The band did several tours between 2010
and 2011 in Europe and Russia in support of "Ars Vitae".
In 2012 an announcement was made that a new album was in the making.
Entitled "Neogenesis"
it stands out as something truly unique. The album raises the bar for
concept albums as it apart from being a music album also is a novel. Uniting
every song with a chapter of the book the music, lyrics, storytelling and
philiosphy of "Neogenesis" blends together to create a profound
experience that will surely leave a deep impression on the listener.
"Neogenesis" will be released on the 27th of September 2013.
