KVAL: POST NEW TRACK "LAHO"

Finnish atmospheric black metal warriors KVAL have posted the title track from the bands anticipated new release  "LAHO", due to be unleashed 5/23/2019 via HYPNOTIC DIRGE RECORDS.












FROM HYPNOTIC DIRGE RECORDS:

SONG PREMIERE: Kval - Laho
The second full-length album from the Finnish Atmospheric Black Metal act Kval, entitled Laho will be released on May 23. The title track is now streaming! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHjC9UC_L14
Two summers ago, Finnish Black Metal project Kval released their debut self-titled album, an album which was originally released under the moniker Khaossos in 2015. Kval has spent the past few months writing and refining the tracks for the second Kval album, entitled Laho, the first album to be written for Kval from the start.
Compared to the previous album, Laho ("Rotten" in English) has a brighter and more colorful atmosphere musically while the lyrical themes on Laho references the decay and rot of the forest floor, applied as a metaphor for the human mind. Our inability to live in the moment, the loss of innocence, and the ever-present corrosion of our optimism and descent into cynicism encompass the themes of Laho, wrapped in captivating and entrancing Atmospheric Black Metal.
As with the previous self-titled album, fitting and imaginative hand-drawn cover art was crafted by Moonroot art. Laho will be presented as a 6 panel digipack and released on Hypnotic Dirge Records on May 23, 2019.
Laho Tracklist:
1 - Valosula (9:34)
2 - Laho (10:32)
3 - Pohjanriitti (11:52)
4 - Kaihon Kuiskaus (6:15)
5 - Bonus track (exclusive to the CD) (9:44)

DEHA: STREAMING "CRUEL WORDS" VIA YOU TUBE

Belgium based black metal warrior DEHA, via BANDCAMP, is streaming the projects anticipated new release "CRUEL WORDS", unleashed 3/29/2019 via NATURMACHT PRODUCTIONS.







FROM NATURMACHT PRODUCTIONS:

OUT NOW: Déhà - "Cruel Words"
Order | Stream here: https://www.naturmacht.com/releases/rwe025/cruel_words.html
Full Album Video: https://youtu.be/vbPSSiVxay4

Format: CD in 4-Panel DigiPak w. booklet
Tracklist:
1. I am mine to break
2. Pain is a wasteland
3. Blackness in May
4. Butterflies
5. Dead butterflies
6. Cruel words
When Déhà started making music under his own name "Déhà", he made sure to state that a lot of different music styles would be mixed. It showed on "Halo", a long experimental piano piece, and on "4 5 6", a highly acclaimed progressive post black metal album.
"Cruel Words" continues that path and is the musical embodiment of one kind of depression. Mixing elements of sludge doom and post rock, the album is impressively crushing, heavy, melodic and emotional, as one is used with Déhà's music.

MACHINE HEAD: ANNOUNCE ‘BURN MY EYES’ 25th ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Bay Area, U.S.A metal warriors MACHINE HEAD  have announced  ‘BURN MY EYES’ 25th ANNIVERSARY EUROPEAN FALL 2019 TOUR DATES.






Late last year,  MACHINE HEAD  posted the below statement clarifying,"This is the Farewell Tour of this line-up of Machine Head, not the Farewell Tour of Machine Head, as has been reported in the media."

"DAVE AND PHIL TO EXIT MACHINE HEAD⠀
After 23 years with Dave McClain pounding the skins at the drum throne, and 15 years with Phil Demmel shredding the guitar on stage right, both members have decided to move on from Machine Head and open a new chapter in their lives."

MACHINE HEAD are currently auditioning a new drummer and guitarist.







MACHINE HEAD unleashed "BURN MY EYES",  6/1/1994 via ROADRUNNER RECORDS.

MACHINE HEAD unleashed "CATHARSIS",  1/26/2018 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.



MACHINE HEAD unleashed  "IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE",  (SINGLE)  6/3/2016 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

FROM MACHINE HEAD:

Oakland, CA. March 26th, 2019

Let Freedom Ring! It is with great excitement that MACHINE HEAD announce the first leg of their 25 Year Anniversary tour for the band’s classic debut, ‘Burn My Eyes.’ The dates kick off in Germany on October 5th in Freiburg, and continue across Europe and the UK, wrapping in Dublin, Ireland on the 8th of November. The U.S. leg will be announced in due course; those dates are set for November into December as the tour makes its way around the globe.

Building on their wildly popular ‘An Evening With…’ format, these not-to-be-missed shows will be a three-hour musical extravaganza, comprised of two parts:

Part I - will feature a battery of MACHINE HEAD’s modern classics, such as ‘Imperium,’ ‘Halo,’ and, ‘The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears,’ featuring frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Jared MacEachern performing alongside two, soon-to-be-announced ragers on guitar and drums.

Part II - will feature the Bay Area band’s classic debut album, ‘Burn My Eyes’ played in its entirety for the first time ever. And if somehow this historical event could not be monumental enough, taking the stage for this part of the set will be ‘Burn My Eyes’-era alumni and MACHINE HEAD’s original drummer Chris Kontos and original guitarist Logan Mader.

Band founder and visionary, Robb Flynn tells us “Having started rehearsals with Chris and Logan several weeks ago, I’m literally giddy with excitement at the prospect of how much fun this is going to be. Both Logan and Chris are in phenomenal playing shape, the vibe between all four of us has been incredibly positive!”

Flynn continues, “Having run through deep cuts like ‘Death Church,’ and ‘I’m Your God Now’ for the first time in well over a decade, has reminded me of how fucking heavy our older songs are! This tour is going to be MASSIVE!! The timing couldn’t have been more perfect to share this milestone with the Head Cases! So just a head’s up, DO NOT sleep on this! Tell your friends, spread the word, because tickets are going to disappear!”

Logan Mader adds, “It’s a huge honor for me to take part in celebrating ‘Burn My Eyes’ 25th birthday! It’s hard to believe this is actually happening. I feel like I won the guitar player lottery.... again! The fact that BME is still relevant today has a lot to do with the fact that Robb has kept the band alive and strong for two and a half decades. I’m very grateful for this!”

Chris Kontos echoes the sentiment, stating, “This is an absolute mind blower! Playing these songs again after 23 years feels just amazing. The fact that it's 25 years later and the BME record is still relevant and revered is humbling to say the least. Doing a huge world tour in celebration of the record is a great way to acknowledge the legacy of MACHINE HEAD’s past and future. I'm so looking forward to sharing these songs with the MACHINE HEAD fans around the world. Can't wait to meet all you ‘Head Cases’ out there! You can be sure it is going to be a crushing night! See ya soon!”

The Lord of the Low-End, Jared MacEachearn is equally looking forward to the run, saying “It’s not everyday that you get to pay tribute to a classic like ‘Burn My Eyes’ and with Logan and Chris in the mix, I’m really excited to bring something special to old and new fans alike.”

Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time, Friday 29th March, with pre-sale going live at 10am on Thursday 28th

An extremely limited amount of VIP packages will be made available to 40 folks (per show).

FRACTAL UNIVERSE: POST NEW TRACK "MASTERPIECE'S PARALLELISM"

Nancy, France based progressive death metal warriors FRACTAL UNIVERSE have posted  "MASTERPIECE'S PARALLELISM", a track from the bands anticipated new release "RHIZOMES OF INSANITY", due to be unleashed 4/19/2019 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.







FRACTAL UNIVERSE unleashed "ENGRAM OF DECLINE",  4/14/2017 via KOLONY RECORDS.






 FROM FRACTAL UNIVERSE:
Fractal Universe new single, "Masterpiece's Parallelism"!!
Give their page a like and order "Rhizomes of Insanity" at metalblade.com/fractaluniverse - album out April 19th
On April 19th, Fractal Universe will release their new album, Rhizomes of Insanity, via Metal Blade Records. In anticipation of this release, the band has launched a new single, "Masterpiece's Parallelism", which can be heard at: metalblade.com/fractaluniverse - where the video for the first single, "Oneiric Realisations", can also be seen, and Rhizomes of Insanity can be pre-ordered in the following formats:
--jewelcase-CD
--ltd. digipak-CD w/ bonus track (EU exclusive)
--180g black vinyl (EU exclusive)
--light yellow vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 200 copies)
--yellow / white splatter vinyl (EU exclusive - limited to 120 copies)
--orange / red marbled vinyl (US exclusive - limited to 150 copies)
* exclusive bundles with shirts, plus digital options are also available!

Fractal Universe's sophomore full-length, Rhizomes of Insanity, hits as hard intellectually as it does sonically, affirming the French quartet's place on the progressive death metal map. "'Rhizomes of Insanity' is a concept album based on a thought experiment around the concept of insanity," asserts vocalist/guitarist Vince Wilquin. "It questions the origins of it, and tries to define where we set its boundaries with 'reason'. It eventually questions its place in our modern society and surmises that it has turned into an intrinsic, unavoidable but also necessary part of it and of every human being, which we're trying to repress at all costs." From start to finish, the album is an immersive, complex yet wholly accessible collection rich in melody, invention, and packed with decimating riffs - wielding ten tracks, all of which hit their mark.
Rhizomes of Insanity track-listing
1. Oneiric Realisations
2. Flashes of Potentialities
3. Rising Oblivion
4. A Reality to Foreclose
5. Masterpiece's Parallelism
6. Parabola of Silence
7. Madness' Arabesques
8. Architectural Aberrations
9. Fundamental Dividing Principle
10. Chiasmus of the Damned
11. Collective Engram - Unplugged (Bonus Track)
With a headline French tour scheduled for April followed by a European run later in the year, plus the intent to play as many festivals as possible this summer, metal fans can expect to hear a lot more from Fractal Universe in 2019 and beyond. "Since the beginning of the band, we've always given ourselves a 100% to offer our fans the best possible music and memorable live performances. With 'Rhizomes of Insanity' and our forthcoming collaboration with Metal Blade Records, I believe we now have the perfect cards in hand to bring Fractal Universe to the next level.".
Fractal Universe tour dates:
Apr. 19 - Nilvange, France - Le Gueulard+
Apr. 20 - Limours, France - Asylum Metal Fest
Apr. 25 - Toulouse, France - La Cave à Rock
