GOREWORM: POST NEW TRACK "NO REPRIEVE"

 May be an image of text

 Branford, Canada based technical death metal warriors GOREWORM have posted "NO REPRIEVE"  ,   a track from the bands anticipated new release  "MIASMIC SOLITUDE", due to be unleashed soon (release date T.B.A.) via TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS. 

 

 

 

 

 FROM TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS. : 

 

New signing announcement: Death metal band Goreworm from Canada
We're glad to work with Canadian band Goreworm who have forged their own kind of prog/tech death metal music using influences ranging from melodic to brutal death metal. It sounds strange on paper and yet they seem to make it work somehow. It takes a few listens for it all to fall in place but that's part of the charm of this release. Listen to one of the songs here - https://youtu.be/TMr3dhxl4SI
Band's statement: It is a great honor to be working with Transcending Obscurity Records for the release of our new record. This one has been a long time coming, we have had many setbacks but we never gave up and now the time is here. This new record may be a bit of a new direction for us but the core elements of Goreworm are still present featuring our fast paced blend of melodic, technical, and brutal death metal. We hope everyone who listens will enjoy the music.
Line up -
Robert Miller - Vocals
Jordan Estrela - Guitars
Brent Moerschfelder - Guitars/Bass
Robin Stone - Session Drums

FROM XTREEM MUSIC: 

 

GROND 2nd single: new video & pre-order for new album!!
(en español: https://b.link/grond2)
Listen to the 2nd advance single as a video-clip:
All Digital platforms:
Pre-save album on Spotify & Deezer:
Russian Death Metallers GROND unleash a new crushing blow with “Pour le Mérite”, the 2nd advance single presented as a lyric-video, a dark, heavy and utterly devastating attack.
The track is taken from their upcoming third album “The Temple”, set for release on April 30th through XTREEM MUSIC on CD and digital formats, ready to destroy everything in its path with crushing riffs and oppressive atmospheres.
The cult continues. There is no escape.
Pre-order Digital here:
Formed in 2002 in Moscow by Kist (drums/vocals) and Dust (guitars), GROND officially began their journey in 2005 with the release of their first demo. After intense live activity and several lineup changes, the band consolidated their sound with the EP “Steel Coffins” and later with their debut full-length “Howling From the Deep”, marking the beginning of their oceanic and maritime-themed identity.
In 2016, they released their second album, “Worship the Kraken”, through Xtreem Music, further expanding their dark, sea-bound mythology and strengthening their position within the underground Death Metal scene. Following European festival appearances, continued live assaults, and additional lineup changes, the band eventually solidified its current formation: Kist (vocals), Void (guitars), Sarghas (bass), and Kadath (drums).
With this lineup, GROND have recorded their new conceptual album, “The Temple,” inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s story of the same name and intertwined with the historical figure of German World War I U-boat commander Otto Eduard Weddigen.
Tracklist for "The Temple":
01. Rotter Himmel
02. Weddigen
03. Pour le Merite
04. U-29
05. Dreadnought
06. Submergence
07. Radiant Fury
08. The Temple
09. Dark Solitude of the Sea
Release date for "The Temple" will be April 30th through Xtreem Music on CD & Digital formats.

MORK GRYNING: "After a long period of reflection, Goth Gorgon has decided to step back from continuing with Mörk Gryning"

 No photo description available.

Stockholm, Sweden based black metal warriors MÖRK GRYNING have announced bassist, guitarist and keyboardist "GOTH GORGON" has left the band to be replaced by "AVATHAR". 

MÖRK GRYNING, via BANDCAMP, are streaming "BLACK ANGEL", a  track from the bands anticipated new release "FASORNAS TID",unleashed 12/13/2024 via SEASON OF MIST.  

 MÖRK GRYNING unleashed "HINSIDES VREDE",  10/23/2020 via SEASON OF MIST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM MORK GRYNING: 

 

Band Update – Lineup Change
After a long period of reflection, Goth Gorgon has decided to step back from continuing with Mörk Gryning.
This decision comes from a combination of diverging artistic directions, a decreasing interest in the musical style, and other commitments outside the band. These things happen, especially over time, and we fully respect his choice.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to Goth Gorgon — not only as a band member, but also as one of the founders of Mörk Gryning. His vision, dedication, and contribution have been fundamental in shaping what this band is today.
In connection with this, the position will be replaced by former member Avathar, who was in the band´s line-up during the recording of the album “Maelstrom chaos” from 2001.
The work continues. Mörk Gryning moves forward with full focus on writing and finalizing new material, with the goal of entering the studio before autumn for the next recording.
Thank you for your continued support. Darkness remains.
-Mörk Gryning
