 Promoters for DOOM HEART FESTIVAL 2027, set to take place 4/17/2027 @ SLAUGHTER CLUB, PALERNO, MILAN, ITALY have confirmed SAMSARA, ILLUSIONS PLAY, WHEN NOTHING REMAINS, BLAZING ETERNITY... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM DOOM HEART (FACEBOOK): 

!!!!! BREAKING !!!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to announce that the 8th edition of our beloved Fest will take place on Saturday, April 17, 2027, once again at the Slaughter Club in Paderno Dugnano, Milan!
Driven by the desire to offer you a bill of the highest emotional level, we return to the stage with five sensational bands, each distinguished by their own stylistic signature, yet united by a strong penchant for intense, deeply melancholic sounds, and peppered with poignant melodies.
In order of appearance:
Ilienses Tree (atmospheric melodic doom / death - IT)
Samsara (atmospheric doom/death - SK - “first italian show”)
Illusions Play (atmospheric doom/death - TUR - “first italian show”)
When Nothing Remains Official (symphonic doom/death - SE - “first italian show”)
Blazing Eternity (Official) - (atmospheric gothic melodic doom/death - DK - “first italian show”)
This year, in addition to the usual event page, the Fest will also have a second sponsorship channel: Instagram, whose page will be ready very soon.
For now, our thanks go to the event's two official photographers: Nicola Belotti Photography (also For The Storms & Veil of Conspiracy singer), who curated the graphics and created this beautiful poster, and Frx FotoReporter X Frx who curated the Instagram page.
Let's say right away that the Bill is fully booked, and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the numerous bands who ask us to participate in the Fest every year, showing great interest in our event. This is a source of pride and great satisfaction for us and encourages us to continue our festival journey.
We would obviously like to give them all a chance, but we would have to organize a Fest including hundreds of names and this is obviously impossible, cause we can only choose 5 bands a year.
In the coming days we will post the event page and, in the following weeks, we will present all the bands in detail, with a dedicated post, so... STAY TUNED!
-Morpheus, Doc & Doom Heart Team-
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

ALAN AVERILL (PRIMORDIAL): INTERVIEWED BY INTO THE NECROSPHERE

 May be an image of text

ALAN AVERILL of  Irish Celtic black metal warriors PRIMORDIAL was recently interviewed by metal podcast  INTO THE NECROSPHERE.. 

 

 

  Irish Celtic black metal warriors PRIMORDIAL, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new release  "HOW IT ENDS",  unleashed 9/29/2023 via METAL BLADE RECORDS..

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

This week on Into The Necrosphere, Alan Averill returns to the podcast for one of our most thought-provoking conversations to date. We discuss what it means to become a legacy band, why Primordial's lyrics seem more relevant today than they did thirty years ago, the rise of AI and its impact on creativity, and whether heavy metal is still capable of producing artists with genuine authenticity and staying power.
We also explore the changing nature of the music industry, the pressures of growing older in extreme metal, why so much modern art feels increasingly disposable, and Alan shares his thoughts on the state of the scene as only he can.
On the Weekly News Rant, I check out the latest singles by Hulder, From The Vastland • Band, Terrestrial Hospice, Mordant Rhed, Left to Die and others, debate which modern black metal bands have what it takes to replace the likes of Mayhem, Emperor and Satyricon as genuine festival headliners, countdown my favourite Motörhead songs and, of course, dunk another deserving recipient on my Swirly of the Week.
Plus: Epikoros deliver a fire-and-brimstone debut with “Black Sun Eclipse” and take a thoroughly deserved bow in the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight.
Out now on all digital platforms (link in bio).

"Before Christ - I ruled the land
After Death - I will rule once again" 
 
FROM MALEVOLENT CREATION: 
 I just heard the bad news about Mike Browning passing yesterday. I am in disbelief right now. Mike was one of the first musicians i met in 1988 at a Nasty Savage /Death show in Miami. We exchanged phone numbers and he introduced us to all the great bands and musician's in Florida and for that i will forever be grateful. Mike was the nicest person you could ever meet and i just can't believe this. R.I.P. Mike Browning. You will be missed by many

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-R.I.P.
