ENSIFERUM unleashed "One Man Army", 2/24/2015 (NORTH AMERICA) and 2/23 and 20th, 2015 (UK and EUROPE) via METAL BLADE RECORDS.







FROM ENSIFERUM;
NEW ALBUM NEWS!
Ensiferum recently entered the Astia-studio in Lappeenranta, Finland, where the band recorded a few demo songs for their upcoming seventh full-length, set to be released September 2017 via Metal Blade Records. The quintet will soon return to the Astia studio to begin recording this new album, which will be produced once again by Anssi Kippo (Children Of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene, Entwine etc.).
Sami Hinkka (bass) comments: "Hi Folks! So, as some of you might have already noticed from our social media channels, we are getting ready to go record the next Ensiferum album pretty soon. Just a few weeks ago, we recorded demo versions with Anssi Kippo, who also recorded and produced 'One Man Army'. The demo session went smoothly, and working with Anssi is always such a pleasure because he is so full of creative ideas with a positive attitude. The goal for the new album will be to capture Ensiferum's live energy on the songs, and we also plan to use analog recording as much as possible to guarantee the best possible sound. The song material will include familiar elements, but like we always love to do, we will also take Ensiferum's mighty warship to unexplored seas of musical madness. More info later."
Before the album's release, European fans will be able to catch Ensiferum at various festivals this summer. See below for all dates, with more shows to be announced soon!

The Devin Townsend Project gig at BA 2010 edition was hit by a massive thunderstorm, where the heavens have opened up and tons of rain bombarded the stage and the fans. The fans however stayed in front of the stage through the whole storm and together with the band thus created one of the strongest experiences in the history of the festival. And this year THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT shall once again return to our stage and add one more show not to be forgotten! Swedish TIAMAT will perform a cornerstone of atmospheric metal - for the first time you'll be able to witness this ultimate festival experience with the Wildhoney album being performed in its entirety. Both WALLS OF JERICHO and their frontwoman Candace Kucsulain should be in the metal dictionary under the entry powerful performance, don't miss this show out if you wanna see real relentless intensity in action! SWALLOW THE SUN on the other hand are a fine example of the sombre doom as trailblazed by Finnish bands. GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT is also returning to our festival after a great success they had at our fest in the past and it makes certainly pleased that our fans are open minded to welcome bands like them. Swedes THE CROWN on the other hand would probably have a success on every other metal festival out there and that's no wonder because they put on a hell of a melodic death thrashing show! BIRDS IN ROW are a French Deathwish inc hardcore punk band, with the label affiliation already giving you an idea about their attitude. We are also proud to have meditative and disharmonic death metal diamond forged by fire and ice - ZHRINE from Iceland on the bill! And in the end we would also like to make the fans of contemporary attitude happy so we are welcoming aboard OCEANS ATE ALASKA and for the hardcore fans we have 90's Long Island groovy hardcore punk with VISION OF DISORDER.

CEMETERY URN: STREAMING NEW TRACK "A REQUIEM FOR SERVANTS AFLAME"

Australian death metal warriors CEMETERY URN, via BANDCAMP, are streaming "A REQUIEM FOR SERVANTS AFLAME", a track from the bands anticipated new release "CEMETERY URN", due to be unleashed 4/21/2017 via HELLS HEADBANGERS.



CEMETERY URN unleashed "THE CONQUERED ARE BURNED", 5/20/2010 via CEMETERY RECORDINGS.



FROM CEMETERY URN:


HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present CEMETERY URN's long-awaited third album, "Cemetery Urn," on vinyl, CD, and cassette tape formats. HELLS HEADBANGERS previously worked with CEMETERY URN in releasing the band's first two albums - 2008's "Urn of Blood " and 2010's "The Conquered Are Burned," both originally self-released on CD - on vinyl in 2011.
Formed in 2006 in Melbourne, CEMETERY URN specialize in a vicious, martial form of death metal they've branded "Australian Barbaric Death Metal." The band itself has a deep history in extreme metal: founding guitarist and songwriter Andrew Gillon also hails from reactivated Aussie barbarians ABOMINATOR, and previously played in the final lineup of BESTIAL WARLUST; original vocalist Damon Bloodstorm was renowned as the frontman for BESTIAL WARLUST and for ABOMINATOR from 1996-2001; new vocalist Chris Volcano is the founding drummer of ABOMINATOR - and more recently their vocalist - and concurrently plays drums in Ignivomous, and previously played drums on a handful of DENOUNCEMENT PYRE's EPs, Urgrund's "Unchangeable Fate" album, and DESTROYER 666's "Six Songs With the Devil" demo; and new drummer Matt Crossingham has played with such bands as Belligerent Intent, Scars of Sodom, and Draconis Infernum.
CEMETERY URN are a study in staunch self-reliance. Their first two albums were released on Gillon's own label, Cemetery Recordings, and the band self-booked two highly successful tours across the United States: the Blood of the Damned U.S. Tour in June 2008, which encompassed 17 shows alongside Angelcorpse and Gospel of the Horns, and the Western U.S. Torment Tour in October 2010, where they headlined 10 shows through Texas, California, Oregon, and Washington State. Now, armed with the full support of HELLS HEADBANGERS, CEMETERY URN are prepared to unleash their most decisive and devastating attack yet in "Cemetery Urn." A ten-track nuclear warhead, CEMETERY URN's third album takes the unremitting savagery of their first two full-lengths to its furthest extreme yet, exhibiting both power and poise in the middle of an incendiary maelstrom, and further solidifying the band's reputation for upholding Australia's rich tradition of extreme metal barbarity.
A statement from the band reads: "After aeons of primal chaos, CEMETERY URN return with our long-awaited third, self-titled album of super-heavy Australian death metal. Returning with a new lineup, now including Chris Volcano on vocals and human drum-machine Ma' Crossingham, and also featuring our tightest and heaviest production ever, it will shred everything in its path like the steamroller of Armageddon! Prepare to be crushed!"

TORI AMOS: 25th ANNIVERSARY OF "LITTLE EARTHQUAKES"

SALON and ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE have posted an interview and a track by track guide for the 25th anniversary of  "LITTLE EARTHQUAKES", the groundbreaking debut from U.S. alternative rock legend TORI AMOS.









TORI AMOS re-unleashed (re-issued)  "LITTLE EARTHQUAKES",  4/14/2015 via RHINO RECORDS.


TORI AMOS unleashed "LITTLE EARTHQUAKES", 1/13/1992 (UK), 2/25/1992 (NORTH AMERICA).

ITP V.017 EDITORS NOTE:
ITP is a big fan of early TORI AMOS releases. Death and or death/doom metal bands cover this track:  "Precious Things" is a dark, almost heavy and dramatic track with emotional lyrical content, "LITTLE EARTHQUAKES" is a classic release.

Sól: STREAMING "UPHEAVAL" VIA BANDCAMP

Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.  blackened-doom crust metal warriors Sól, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "UPHEAVAL", due to be unleashed 4/28/2017 via ALERTA ANTI FASCISTA RECORDS.








Sól  unleashed "BLACK MOUNTAIN", 3/24/2014 (SELF RELEASED).


FROM Sól:
We’re incredibly fortunate to have not 1 but 3 amazing record labels help us put out our new record “Upheaval” (which is now available on each of their respective bandcamp pages). Over the course of the week, we’re going to post about each label, why they rule, and why you should consider taking the time to check them out!
First up in our trilogy of cool labels, and handling the European side of this album:
Alerta Antifascista Records (official)
In addition to the fact that AAR has been putting out excellent music for a long time (we’re release #: 122!), we wanted to work with people that share our core values as a band and as humans. Given the current state of things in the world, and considering the subject matter of our album, it’s a perfect fit working with AAR. From their impressum:
“We do NOT want to deal and we do NOT like fascism, nazism, racism, sexism and homophobia”. Couldn't have said it better ourselves!

https://alertaantifascistarecords.bandcamp.com/…/aa122-s-l-…

Dullest Records based out of Lansdale, Pennsylvania is one of the two US labels that helping us with the release of Upheaval. In addition to having similar tastes to ours (Danny from Dullest shares Rusty’s downright fanaticism with all things Cult of Luna), Dullest has released album after album of heavy, dark, fascinating music (Crowhurst, The Osedax, Rorcal, etc). Make sure to check out the rest of their catalog!

ITP V.011 REVIEW: LOSS: DESPOND:
http://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2012/01/itp-v012-review-loss-despond.html






FROM PROFOUND LORE RECORDS:
The new Loss album "Horizonless" will be released this spring. Full album announcement and details very soon. In the meantime check out a quick album teaser.


FROM LOSS: 

Six doomed years in creation since their debut LP “Despond”, Nashville, Tennessee melancholic death/funeral doom metal band Loss have completed work on their new LP “Horizonless”, one of the most anticipated death/doom metal releases of the year set for release on May 19th on CD/2xLP/Digital.
Traveling further into the void and beyond the realms of hopelessness and despondency “Horizonless” is a journey destitute of all hope and redemption, one where heartbreak, total death and never ending despair triumphs.
Produced and engineered by Billy Anderson in the band’s hometown of Music City itself, resulting in LOSS’ most majestic sounding work to date, “Horizonless” forges the LOSS’ sound tapestry into a realm more immense and dynamic; heavier, darker, more melancholic, and sorrowful. Where “Despond” laid down that foundation that gave LOSS the reputation as the saddest and bleakest band in the death/doom metal scene, “Horizonless” forges that funeral deathmarch onwards even moreso towards ruin, decay, and utter oblivion.
Featuring guest vocals from Wrest of LEVIATHAN, Stevie Floyd of Taurus/Dark Castle, and Billy Anderson on the closing track “When Death Is All” and featuring artwork from Adam Burke of Nightjar Illustration, track listing for “Horizonless” goes as follows:
1. The Joy Of All Who Sorrow
2. i.o.
3. All Grows On Tears
4. Moved Beyond Murder
5. Naught
6. The End Steps Forth
7. Horizonless
8. Banishment
9. When Death Is All
