FROM A. MORBID (HAPPY DAYS): 

 

Update! NOT HAPPY DAYS RELATED.
So I have decided to officially open my own label.it is called Pale Vein Productions and I have decided to go on this endeavor to help lesser known but amazing bands get some sort of spotlight and recognition they deserve. I will be producing merch as well for whichever bands I decide to sign. For now I will mostly stick with CD and tshirt pressing but should this become more and more successful then maybe in the future vinyls could be an option as well. This is a huge risk as i am fully aware how expensive it is to run a label but life's too short to not at least try and give it a shot. I will be signing black metal,Death Metal,Shoegaze and post rock bands. Yes I am now accepting band submissions too. If anyone is interested please submit your demos or albums or songs to and please give the page a follow and share it around. Im very proud to finally being able to make this happen. Really looking forward to hearing new music. More news coming soon! Submissions can be sent also to the email at pale.vein.productions@gmail.com

DRACONIAN : POST VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "MISANTHROPE RIVER"

 No photo description available.

Swedish Gothic, death, doom metal warriors DRACONIAN have posted a video for  "MISANTHROPE RIVER"  , a track from the bands anticipated new offering "IN SOMNOLENT RUIN", due to be unleashed 5/8/2026 via NAPALM RECORDS. 

 


DRACONIAN unleashed "UNDER A GODLESS VEIL", 10/30/2020 via NAPALM RECORDS 

 

 

 FROM DRACONIAN: 

 

Misanthrope River was the first song written for this album. The initial idea goes back to the early days of Under a Godless Veil, but it remained dormant until work on this record began.
It’s an emotional gothic doom track- fairly minimalist, yet expansive in feel, with subtle touches that hint at post-metal and give the atmosphere a broader sense of depth. There’s a suggestion of something ancient and mysterious running through it.
Although interactive, at its core, the song deals with separation and isolation in a world where the larger truth has been kept from you, and how those feelings slowly turn into resentment. You’re pushing against the current- wading upstream while doubting the way forward. In that struggle you’ll be grasping at straws for any sense of peace, while unintentionally shutting out the one closest to you.
Overall, the song is quite straightforward, yet it is deep dive.
Shot in the Faroe Islands, the video places its actors within vast, striking landscapes. As with Cold Heavens, this video is directed stunningly by Gaui H.
The poetic inaugural piece is evocatively narrated by Simon Bibby (Thy Listless Heart, Seventh Angel), whose voice guides the atmosphere with a quiet intensity. Simon also lends his presence to one of the tracks featured on the bonus album.
All music and arrangements were crafted by Johan, while lyrics and additional arrangements were shaped by Anders- together weaving the sonic and emotional fabric of the song.
We invite you to step into this world, to listen closely, and to feel it in your own way. Your thoughts and impressions mean a great deal to us, so please share them with us.
With reverence,
DRACONIAN

FROM SIX FEET UNDER:

SIX FEET UNDER Presents “Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” Video/Single From Forthcoming Next To Die Full-Length
Watch/stream SIX FEET UNDER’s “Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” HERE.
“Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” is the newest single from American death metal legends SIX FEET UNDER. The track appears on their forthcoming new full-length, Next To Die, set for release on April 24th via Metal Blade Records.
Comments guitarist Jack Owen, “This song started when my wife and I were in an antique store and she found an amber quartz pendant that had lines through the whole thing. I asked her what it was and she said it's a Rutilated Quartz. Well, that's all I needed for a title and some lyrical ideas. The chorus came easy. The verses were from a true crime show where a woman described being attacked by an assailant who tied her to a tree and slit her throat. She couldn't speak or scream. In real life she survived the attack, telling her story with a giant scar across her throat. In this song, unfortunately she did not survive... My killer buried her where she will never be found. I wrote the music from scratch around the lyrical ideas.”

Watch a visualizer for “Unmistakable Smell Of Death” HERE.
Next To Die marks a new creative high for SIX FEET UNDER, its dozen songs marking the band’s fifteenth album since 1995’s Haunted. The record is essentially broken down into two different sides – Death and Groove – resulting in an aural masterwork that satisfies SIX FEET UNDER as artists, while also offering something for every fan. To bring the songs to brutal life, vocalist Chris Barnes recorded his vocals at the legendary Criteria Recording Studios in Miami. “I’ve recorded 90% of my vocals for SIX FEET UNDER there with my longtime friend and engineer Chris Carroll,” says Barnes. “Criteria has a long and rich history of recording some of the most famous and important albums in the history of music. I feel very comfortable working there.”
Produced by Owens and Barnes and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis of MRL Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, Next To Die follows 2024’s Killing For Revenge and is the third record that Barnes and Owen have created together since reuniting in 2017.
Barnes titled the record after the song “Next to Die,” as it “best represents what is contained within the ideas/storylines of the lyrics of each song. We don’t discuss lyrical themes, we each write what we’re feeling and find interesting.” The frontman urges close listening, saying, “that’s the great thing about music and art and reading. It takes you on an exploration into your own imagination, and that personal experience lets you discover what you think the meaning is. Having someone tell you what it means takes away that magic.”
SIX FEET UNDER was initially formed as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse. It became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. The current lineup of Barnes, Owen, lead guitarist Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit.
Next To Die features the cover art of Sandy Rezalmi and will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:
180g Black (US)
Red w/ Black Smoke (US)
Bone Brown Marbled (EU – Ltd. 500)

Bone White Green Splatter (EU – Ltd. 200)
