BRUTAL TRUTH CONFIRMED FOR OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL 7/15th, 16th, and 17th, 2011 TRUTNOV - festival area Battlefield Czech Republic

U.S. grind legends BRUTAL TRUTH have been confirmed for the 2011 OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL set to take place 7/15th, 16th, and 17th, 2011 TRUTNOV - festival area Battlefield, Czech Republic.
FROM OBSCENE EXTREME PROMOTERS:
BRUTAL TRUTH
Since springing back to life in 2006 after seven years apart, no band
has come to define the chaos, the fury, the idiocy and the fierce DIY
attitude of OBSCENE EXTREME like the legendary BRUTAL TRUTH. Formed in 1990 by former ANTHRAX/SOD/NUCLEAR ASSAULT bassist Dan LILKER,
BRUTAL TRUTH's career has taken in punk-worship, the brutal death/grind
of their 1992 debut 'Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses',
clanking, experimental tech-jazz oddness of second album 'Need To
Control', and all points in between. A constant inconstant throughout
grindcore history, BRUTAL TRUTH saw the end of EARACHE's domination over
grindcore and the rise of RELAPSE as a force, the end of the crusty
Grindcrusher generation and the birth of powerviolence and the modern US
scene, and they've returned to OEF time and time again, filming a live
DVD there in 2007, as testament to a shared mission of felt-melting
musical destruction.
With charismatic grindstone cowboy Kevin SHARP, anarchic drummer Rich
HOAK, heavy metal personification Dan LILKER on bass and technical metal
royalty Eric BURKE on guitar, and work underway on a follow-up to their
2009 return-to-form 'Evolution Through Revolution', OBSCENCE EXTREME
2011 won't just be 'another' BRUTAL TRUTH performance – it'll be THE
Brutal Truth performance.

AMORPHIS ANNOUNCE TRACKLISTING FOR "The Beginning Of Times"

Finland death/doom legends AMORPHIS have announced the title and tracklisting for the bands anticipated new release entitled "The Beginning Of Times" .
FROM AMORPHIS: The new Amorphis album will be titled The Beginning Of Times and shall see the light of day at the end of May. It will be preceded by the single You I Need in April. The tracklist is as follows:

1. Battle For Light

2. Mermaid

3. My Enemy

4. You I Need

5. Song of the Sage

6. Three Words

7. Reformation

8. Soothsayer

9. On a Stranded Shore

10. Escape

11. Crack in a Stone

12. Beginning of Time

(digipack bonus) 13. Heart’s Song


The new album is the most challenging Amorphis album so far in terms
of both music and lyrics. Its central character is the iconic hero of
Finnish mythology, Väinämöinen, whose tale has been masterfully retold
by lyricist Pekka Kainulainen. The Beginning Of Times was
produced by the band; vocals were recorded under the guidance of Marco
Hietala in his home studio in Kuopio. Like its predecessors, the album
was mixed by Mikko Karmila. Its cover artwork shows Travis Smith’s
magnificent interpretation of the mythological birth of the world from a goldeneye’s egg.

In June, Amorphis will embark on the extensive The Beginning Of Times tour, which is scheduled to continue through 2012.

TRENT REZNOR WINS ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST MOVIE SCORE FOR "THE SOCIAL NETWORK"

NINE INCH NAILS main man TRENT REZNOR and collaborator Atticus Ross won an academy award for best movie score for David Fincher's "THE SOCIAL NETWORK". FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
"Wow. Is this really happening?" Reznor asked during his acceptance speech. "When we finished work on 'The Social Network', we were very proud of our work and happy to just be involved in this film, and to be standing up here in this company is humbling and flattering beyond words."
Once backstage, Reznor added, "A side of my music with NINE INCH NAILS was going instrumental so it was not a huge leap or stretch to try [scoring a movie]. The biggest challenge was working with a picture. [Director] David Fincher knew exactly what he wanted. It was one of the best experiences of my life from start to finish.

Reznor added, "[Inception] composer, Hans Zimmer, who I've been battling at awards shows all year, told me, 'In a lot of ways, I hope you win because it's helped open up the field a bit for texture of what film scores can be.' "

Reznor and Ross's score for "The Social Network" won a Golden Globe award last month.

Reznor told Movieline.com that he did not see an Oscar nomination as a certainty, saying, "We didn't go into this project with any expectations of any kind of award recognition. The weight of the Oscar — we certainly didn't think that we were guaranteed credit. We had our fingers crossed but it was still a very nervous morning."

Reznor added that when he was a kid growing up with dreams of being a musician, the thought of being nominated for an Academy Award never occurred to him. He explained, "In fact that never crossed my mind until a few months ago when the film came out. The whole experience of working on the film — it was unexpected to have that opportunity . . . It feels great to think that the Academy recognized it because it is not a traditional score. I'm very flattered that they've taken notice of it. It means a lot to me."

"The Social Network" received a total of eight nods, including "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best Actor" and "Best Adapted Screenplay".

Reznor and Ross's next film score is for "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", also from "The Social Network" director David Fincher.

WOE: Philadelphia Black Metal Legion Announce West Coast Tour Dates

Philadelphia Black Metal legion WOE have announced West Coast Tour Dates.
and Scion Fest appearance.
FROM EARSPLIT PR:
Philadelphia black metal legion WOE will embark on rare string of live dates this March. The short trek will commence on March 5 at the annual Scion Fest in Pamona, California alongside the likes of Morbid Angel, Obituary, Integrity and Nails and ravage its way around the West Coast before drawing to a temporary close in Seattle, Washington at The Highline. The festivities will pick up again on the 31st with a hometonw show at Kung Fu Necktie and a spot on this year's MACRoCk fest on April 1 in Harrisonburg, Virginia with Cannabis Corpse, Inter Arma, Withered, US Christmas and more. View the tour poster HERE.

Said band mastermind Chris Grigg of the upcoming dates: "WOE is not given to hyperbole so it is with stern, stoic determination that we say we hope those in attendance of our upcoming West Coast performances are ready to have their heads blown the fuck off."

WOE West Coast Tour 2011:
3/05/2011 Scion fest - Pomona, CA
3/06/2011 The Hamat - Oakland, CA
3/07/2011 On The Y - Sacramento, CA
3/08/2011 The Knockout - San Francisco, CA
3/09/2011 Ol Hawk Eyes Art Shackle - Chico, CA
3/10/2011 Empire Squared - Eureka, CA
3/11/2011 Plan B - Portland, OR
3/12/2011 The Highline - Seattle, WA
3/31/2011 King Fu Necktie - Philadelphia, PA
4/01/2011 MACRoCk - Harrisonburg, VA

WOE's critically acclaimed Quietly, Undramatically was released in North America on October 12 via Candlelight Records. The full-length was recorded at Gradwell House in Haddon Heights, New Jersey with additional tracking completed at frontman Chris Grigg's BS1 in Philadelphia. The album is the first to feature a full band ensemble comprised of members from Absu, Woods Of Ypres, The Green Evening Requiem, Infernal Stronghold and Rumpelstiltskin Grinder and continues to reap praise from fans and critics alike.

Said the Washington Times of the record: "Woe's artistry cuts so deep as the band understands the depths of desperation. Their music at times wallows in its own hatred while at others displays optimism that life will improve. It is a satisfying bait and switch because the band knows when to sacrifice betterment at the altar of the bleak." Added MetalSucks, "Woe’s punk spirit goes beyond bouts with d-beats and energy to spare. They don’t give a fuck about convention, just about stretching what they love to the point where it may not be what it originally was anymore...Undramatic my ass. This is the sound of black metal to come." Metal Underground commended the band saying: "The album has a huge amount of variation, and tacks on enough unforeseen twists to keep even the most jaded metal fan listening for the whole run time. Fans of U.S. black metal need to make a point of keeping up with Woe," while About.com noted, "After the brilliant A Spell For The Death Of Man, Woe puts out another sharp, dynamic black metal album that shows major growth and maturity." Popdose kept it short and sweet: "The USBM scene needs more bands like Woe to take charge and push the genre forward."

PALE CHALICE Track Premieres Today Via Stereogum

Black metal warriors PALE CHALICE are premiering a new track today Via Stereogum.
FROM EARSPLIT PR: Today, Stereogum.com offers the public a first listen to black metal horde PALE CHALICE’s upcoming debut EP, Afflicting The Dichotomy Of Trepid Creation. Set for release on March 8, 2011 via San Francisco-based The Flenser Records, the EP clocks in at over 28 minutes in length, its’ fierce blend of classic Scandinavian black metal putridity and harsh American ferocity displaying the young outfit as a contender for one of the heaviest bands in the Bay Area scene.

CLICK HERE to be engulfed by the blazing opening track from the EP, “Transplant Of Dimensional Recourse,” posted at Stereogum now.

With just a few local shows under their belt over the past year, the band have already amassed a strong local following. Now unleashing their wrath upon the planet with the release of Afflicting The Dichotomy Of Trepid Creation, this is surely just the beginning of the PALE CHALICE legacy.

“The quarter-speed punk riffs floating amid the other blacker ambiance on that one wins it for me, but other folks might be more impressed by an American black metal band going for an orthodox sound with no “post”’s attached.” – Stereogum

“The whole thing is just mind blowing… Beyond effective, beyond affective. 10/10″ – Funeral Rain Zine

“…it takes only a spin or two before one truly realizes how much thought and effort has gone into the songwriting; it’s really a satisfying feeling.” – Metal Army America

“…Pale Chalice makes it clear that they don’t intend to fit in with the Satan-and-spikes school of black metal, even if their sound is heavily influenced by the Norwegian heavy hitters of the early 90′s. Instead, they opt for something stranger, more atmospheric, and, at times, downright ethereal… 4.75/5″ – The Metal Register

Review copies of Afflicting The Dichotomy Of Trepid Creation and interviews with PALE CHALICE are available to journalists worldwide via Earsplit anytime. Stay tuned for more news on PALE CHALICE as well as other upcoming releases from The Flenser…

FROM ARKAN: ARKAN's sophomore album will be out on April 18th. Here is the cover artwork and tracklisting of this genuine Oriental Death Metal gem: 1. 1 - Origins 2. 2 - Inner Slaves 3. 3 - Deus Vult (feat. Kobi Farhi) 4. 4 - Blind Devotion 5. 5 - Jerusalem - Sufferpolis 6. 6 - Beyond Sacred Rules 7. 7 - Common Ground 8. 8 - Sweet Opium 9. 9 - Salam 10. 10 - Call From Within 11. 11 - Lightened Heart 12. 12 - The Eight Doors Of Jannah 13. 13 - Amaloun Jadid II The artwork was designed by Evil Campbell, who was already behind ARKAN's first album "Hilal". The artist made the following comment: "When ARKAN told me about their new album "Salam" dealing with peace and tolerance between different people and their religions, I was instantly hooked. We talked about it with Foued, and I suggested that we use the Bible as an inspiration, as the Holy Book is used by all monotheistic religions. For me, the powerful image was the parable of the original sin with Eve, the snake, and the forbidden fruit. It illustrates Man's weakness. It is so easy to hate someone because of his differences, to reject them. Tolerance is the stations of the cross. The cover of "Salam" is then a subjective and artistic interpretation of that parable. Looking at the colour scheme, the shades are light and going towards gold. This is to respect the graphic code of the band, and their first album "Hilal", that we also created together." **************** UNITED GUTTERAL will unleash Swedish deathmetal act VOLTURYON's new album “Coordinated Mutilation” set to be unleashed for February 25, 2011. FROM UNITED GUTTURAL: The CDs will be available for sale from United Guttural and directly from the band.

Supporting act and fellow Sweds "Ikhon", play a very competent hybrid of trash and death. http://www.myspace.com/ikhonmusic *************** UNIQUE LEADER RECORDS are promoting these new releases due to be unleashed in MARCH of 2011: Rings of Saturn shall unleash " Embryonic Anomaly " 3/1/2011, Near Death Condition shall unleash " The Disembodied-In Spiritual Spheres" 3/15/2011 and Condemned shall unleash " Realms of the Ungodly " TBA.

Enclosed below are the track listings. ************** Polish death metal legends VADER wil embark on a U.S. tour with KRISIUN this summer 2011. *************** TYPE O NEGATIVE and DANZIG drummer Johnny Kelly has joined BLACK LABEL SOCIETY as BLS drummer Will Hunt has rejoined EVANESCENCE. **************** European death/grind warriors ABORTED have issued this update: "Everything has been going great so far with the pre-production of the upcoming album. We have about 13 skeletons of songs thus far. Drums are up next — Mr. Mike Heller (MALIGNANCY, SYSTEM DIVIDE) will be engineering and assisting the drum pre-productions. "Have to say we are all thrilled with the material and everyone has been chipping in. "Once we get a clear idea of the drums, vocals are next and we can start fine tuning and shaping the songs up to their final versions. "Curious to see which tracks will make the final cut for the album. "Needless to say, this will probably be the most ruthless record the band has written period. We are going to tempos we have never been to before, some riffs are more tech than what we ever did, and everything still sounds catchy and crushing. Eran [Segal; guitar], Jb [Van De Wal; bass] and Ken [Sorceron; guitar] did a great job so far so now we just need to sit back and work out the kinks. "Other good news is you will be seeing us this summer on some of the festivals, cannot say which yet but keep your eyes open for some announcements in the near future. "If you live in Belgium/France/Holland/Denmark, check out the shows we have booked in April/May, might be in your area. "Those of you who want to see our ugly mugs before that can go check out Sven [De Caluwé; vocals] touring the U.S. with SYSTEM DIVIDE this February with ELUVEITIE and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD and Ken on tour with ABIGAIL WILLIAMS this March with ROTTING CHRIST and MELECHESH."

THE BODY: Five-Week U.S. Tour Assault Begins This Weekend

Providence, Rhode Island's THE BODY shall kick off a U.S. tour this weekend.

Following the multitude of live assaults in the Lone Star State, THE BODY will continue working their way back east alongside Australia's disheartening Whitehorse for the following two weeks where they'll complete the tour in their hometown of Providence, Rhode Island.

METAL AT THE MOVIES V.011 PART 5: WHY YOU DO THIS

Here we are with METAL AT THE MOVIES PART 5 "Why You Do This" directed and produced by CARBOMB vocalist Michael Dafferner, trailer here: http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi2034735385/
FROM METAL SUCKS:
[why_you_do_this] (it’s a statement, not a question asked by an immigrant) is going to make its premiere next week at the Queens World Film Festival (as in a world film festival which takes place in Queens, not a film festival which takes place on a world full of royal women), and even though I didn’t know about it until like ten seconds ago, it look pretty interesting — Dafferner interviewed all kinds of cool people, like Richard Christy, Randy Blythe, Joe Duplantier, and Ben Falgoust, all about the very simple question posed by the title. Or, perhaps a little less succinctly, this move could be called Holy Shit There is No Money to be Made in Metal and Touring Fucking Sucks, Why the Fucking Fuck Do You Keep Subjecting Yourself to this Crap? Which is a question every aspiring metal musician should ask him or herself, since the chances of making a living at playing music are only slightly better than the chances that you’ll be struck by lightning while receiving a wristie from Marilyn Monroe.

ANYWAY, the movie premieres at the aforementioned film festival on Friday, March 4, at 7:00pm EST at The Renaissance Auditorium (81st Street & 37th Ave) in Jackson Heights, NY. You can get more details, as well as tickets, here; you can also watch the trailer here and a clip here (they’re not embeddable… I guess they’re trying to keep the film a secret). I don’t think I can make it ’cause I’ll be on an airplane just hours prior, but if anyone goes, please let me know how it is. Hopefully this thing will get a DVD release or something soon so the rest of us can check it out.

Also, the press release says that Car Bomb are working on new music. That’s what they told me in 2008, too, but maybe we’ll actually get a new album before I turn eighty.

EYEHATEGOD Returns Safely From Their East Coast Tour; Mike Williams Comments On CT Cancellation

New Orleans, Louisiana sludge metal warriors EYEHATEGOD are home from touring despite the Connecticut cancellation as the band prepares for New Orleans, Louisiana's MARDI GRAS.
FROM EARSPLIT PR:

The members of EYEHATEGOD arrived home from their latest East Coast run of dates earlier this week with varying degrees of injuries -- mental, spiritual and physical. Dubbed the "Unchecking Our Already Questionable Health In A Shitty Van Tour 2011," vocalist Mike Williams, guitarists Jimmy Bower and Brian Patton, bassist Gary Mader and drummer Joey LaCaze, kicked off the festivities in Philadelphia, PA on February 16th and systematically leveled clubs in Baltimore, Brooklyn, Syracuse and Boston before being forced to miss their show in Connecticut due to blizzard-like conditions. Commented Williams of the cancellation: "Due to horribly bad weather, we had to cancel our Milford, Connecticut show on Monday in order to make it back down South. Many apologies to the true fans who came to the show disappointed. EYEHATEGOD are greedy, money pig bastards, so don't think we passed up this gig for any other reason but shitty snow and ice."



Bringing the festivities to a close, the proud brothers of New Orleans riff debauchery and feedback will play their annual Mardi Gras show tomorrow at Siberia with Phobia and Venomous Maximus.



EYEHATEGOD

New Orleans, LA



Check out footage of the band playing a new tune at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia HERE:













As previously reported, EYEHATEGOD will unleash an official live DVD on March 22 via MVD. Simply titled Live, the 88-minute production features multi-camera footage from 2009 (Baltimore, MD) and 2010 (Cleveland, OH), with bonus clips from the last show of their 2010 European tour and videos never before released before on DVD. A perfect dose of Black Flag meets Black Sabbath in ragged, live glory.

Inferno Festival CH/"Antecedent Death" Death Mask Exhibition

Tom Gabriel Warrior, vocalist for Triptykon has been invited to publicly exhibit his "Antecedent Death" death mask at the Inferno Festival, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, from February 25 to 27, 2011.
FROM TRIPTYKON:
As part of the Swiss edition of the renowned Inferno Festival, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, from February 25 to 27, 2011, Triptykon singer/guitarist Tom Gabriel Warrior has been invited to publicly exhibit his "Antecedent Death" death mask project for the very first time.


A natural extension of Warrior’s past and present endeavors, "Antecedent Death" was begun in earnest In early 2007. Based on ideas originally explored during his youth, Warrior casts and adorns each life-size concrete death mask individually by hand. The resulting, highly acclaimed pieces have, in the meantime, become part of numerous private collections across the globe.



The exhibition was co-curated by Sandra Henny. It will be open every day (except Sunday) until March 5, 2011. The exhibition takes place at Uniquement Vôtre, virtually next door to the official festival venue Les Docks, in Lausanne, Switzerland. The path from Les Docks to the exhibition is marked.

Birmingham's death metal legend BENEDICTION confirmed for OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL 7.-8.-9. July 2011 TRUTNOV - festival area Battlefield

Birmingham, England's BENEDICTION are confirmed for 2011's OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL set to take place 7.-8.-9. July 2011 TRUTNOV - festival area Battlefield.
FROM OEF PROMOTERS:
BENEDICTION

Absolute titans of crushing, primordial death metal, Birmingham's
BENEDICTION may be overshadowed by other bands at home (you don't need
to be told which ones), but on stage they're without peer.



Over two decades on from their inception, despite some absolutely
seminal albums, they may not have been the most prolific outfit when it
comes to recording, but 2008's 'ORGANISED CHAOS', their first
full-length since 2001, put them right back at the top of European death
metal barbarity, with ANAAL NATHRAKH vocalist Dave HUNT's wind-tunnel
roar and crashing, rock-fall riffs.



Primitive, crust-laced death metal from a pantheon of classic death
metal and grindcore bands, Brum's self-proclaimed Grind Bastards are
going to be more than at home amid the chaos of OBSCENE EXTREME 2011!!!






OBSCENE EXTREME 2011 - Freak-Friendly Extreme Musick Open-Air Festival



ENTOMBED + LOCK UP + ROTTEN SOUND + BENEDICTION + IMPALED + MAGRUDERGRIND + THE ROTTED + LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY + LE SCRAWL + SQUASH BOWELS + VARUKERS + DEBUSTROL + GRONIBARD + INHUMATE + PSYCHO + INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL + ENTRAILS + CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY + MINCING FURY + FLESHROT + ZUBROWSKA + DISLIKE + COLLISION + REPROACH + JACK + VON BOOM + GORE AND CARNAGE + IDIOT CONVENTION + SUFFERING MIND + ANOTHER WAY + more!!!


All together 69 bands from all over the world, stay tuned for more names soon!!!

OVO Album Details Announced; Track Available For Streaming

Supernatural Cat Records have signed avant/extreme duo OvO for their upcoming sixth album Cor Cordium, which will be released on April 18th, 2011.
FROM EARSPLIT PR:
To give the public their first taste of the release, UK-based Rock-A-Rolla Magazine is hosting an exclusive stream of “Marie,” the third track from Cor Cordium. Check it out here.

The diverse, avant/conceptual ten-track opus Cor Cordium — the title translating to “heart of the hearts” — is an epitaph to the memory of idolized English Romantic poet and adventurer Percy Shelley. OvO hail from a realm of contaminated heavy rock, where noise elements act as breaks between the sonic deconstructive assaults as displayed on Cor Cordium. The hi-fi recordings captured on the album, for the first time in OvO’s history utilizing any sort of overdubs, present a rational structure hidden under the apparent madness of the compositions.

Cor Cordium is set for release via Supernatural Cat Records – the label who’ve delivered releases from Lento, Morkobot, Incoming Cerebral Overdrive, and most notably, doom trio Ufomammut — and who also co-handle the duties at Malleus Art Rock Lab. In addition to the standard digipak version and digital download, there will also be a highly limited edition which will include both CD and LP versions as well as a DVD featuring a live concert of the band previous their previous album Crocevia. View photos of the craftsmen at Malleus constructing the limited edition Cor Cordium LPs at this location.

With previous releases being handled by labels such as Bar La Muerte, Blossoming Noise and Load Records, and the duo having played somewhere in the vicinity of 600 shows since their inception at the turn of the century, OvO’s travels have taken them from Europe to Mexico, from America to Israel, and beyond. OvO have collaborated, recorded and/or played live with countless notable acts including Nadja, KK Null, Thurston Moore, Jim O’Rourke, Rollerball, Thrones, SubArachnoid Space, Zenigeva, Lightning Bolt, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Estradasphere, Steve Mc Kay, Trencher, Ludicra, Bill Horist, USA Is A Monster, White Mice, Cock ESP, Bastard Noise, Zu, Larsen, Kill Me Tomorrow, Murder Junkies, Jarboe, A Hawk And A Hacksaw and more.

MINISTRY NOT PERFORMING Wax Trax! Records "Retrospectacle" being held in Chicago, IL, at the Metro on April 15 and 16, 2011

Chicago, Illinois disbanded industrial metal heroes MINISTRY has sent this statement as the band will NOT be performing Wax Trax! Records "Retrospectacle" being held in Chicago, IL, at the Metro on April 15 and 16, 2011.
FROM MINISTRY:
This statement is being released in an effort to clarify the many concerns that have been expressed directly to us by our friends, fans, supporters and the media in regards to the Wax Trax! Records "Retrospectacle" being held in Chicago, IL, at the Metro on April 15 and 16, 2011.



We both wish to avoid any misunderstandings, miscommunication and misrepresentations regarding this event. To that effect we formally announce that the bands Ministry, KMFDM and Revolting Cocks will NOT be attending or performing at this event. Al Jourgensen was NEVER asked to participate, and Sascha Konietzko's (and KMFDM's) desire to participate and perform was DECLINED by the event organizers.



However, while we are both in no way associated with this event, we want to make it clear that we DO support the good works of the charity involved and honor the memory of Wax Trax! founders Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher.



Sincerely, AL JOURGENSEN, Founder & Leader of Ministry/RevCo (Revolting Cocks) and SASCHA KONIETZKO, Founder & Leader of KMFDM




Additionally please NOTE: The announcement that the film FIX: The Ministry Movie will be screened at the Chicago Music & Film Festival during the same time period as Retrospectacle is pre-mature and potentially false. Neither the proposed film nor the deals surrounding it have been finalized. For all official announcements and updates regarding FIX please refer to the 13th Planet Records Website (www.thirteenthplanet.com) or the Official Ministry Website (www.ministrymusic.org).

Stated Neurot/Neurosis’ Steve Von Till on the signing: “It is with great honor that Neurot Recordings welcomes Across Tundras to our home. Their past releases have shown immense dedication to spirit and commitment to growth and sonic evolution. Those are traits that we admire and look for when declaring kinship among those also on the quest for emotional release through sound.”

ACROSS TUNDRAS’ Tanner Olson this week also made a statement on their induction into Neurot’s family: “The opportunity to stand alongside such a talented and driven group of artists and musicians is something we have been working along time for. Neurot Recordings releases the most inspired and original music out there, and its a huge compliment that they see us as kindred musical spirits. Eternal gratitude to the Neurot family for believing in us and giving a proper home to our nomadic sounds.”

More details on the recently completed new ACROSS TUNDRAS album will be announced shortly. Stay tuned for tour announcements and more through the coming months as well.

MUTILATION RITES ANNOUNCE RELEASE AND TOUR DATES

Brooklyn, NY black metal warriors MUTILATION RITES have announced the release of three songs on cassette via Poison Infiltration and a U.S. tour.
FROM MUTILATION RITES:
Brooklyn-based black metallers MUTILATION RITES have been furiously busy doing the devil's work since 2009, criss-crossing the USA (and Mexico) bringing total aural devastation unto all who fall under their spell.

They have just announced the beginning of yet another mammoth American tour, one that hits nearly every corner of the country and sees them sharing stages with the likes of BATILLUS, HULL, THE BODY, WEEKEND NACHOS, VALDUR, NECRITE, WOE, and many other underground dwellers.

The band will be appearing at this year's edition of SXSW as well as the Oakland Black/Death Fest, and are kicking things off with a hometown show with EYEHATEGOD, MAGRUDERGRIND and MISERY INDEX, tomorrow night (February 18th).

After a few lineup changes, Mutilation Rites has solidified into their deadliest incarnation yet. Their sound draws from the poisoned wells of blackthrash, doom, and crust punk, as well as referencing the ravishing grimness and ice-cold tremolo picking of the mid-90's Scandinavian masters; the result is ugly, hateful, and distorted, just as a New York black metal band should be. The band features current and former members of TOMBS, DISASSOCIATE, CURANDERA, RABIA and HEURISTIC.

Mutilation Rites are also gearing up to release three brand-new songs on cassette (courtesy of Poison Infiltration) as well as a split with Brooklyn bros Batillus on Shinebox later this year. The songs were recorded with Kevin Bernsten (of TRIAC) at Developing Nations in Baltimore, and will rip your fucking face off.
