FIREWIND: POST VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE"

Greek power metal warriors FIREWIND have posted a video for "WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE", a track from the bands anticipated new release "FIREWIND", due to be unleashed 5/15/2020 via AFM RECORDS.









FIREWIND unleashed "IMMORTALS", 1/20/2017 via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS.





FROM FIREWIND:

NEW VIDEO OUT NOW!
We proudly present our new music video/single, „Welcome To The Empire“. The song marks the second single taken from the upcoming album „Firewind“ (out May 15th).
The video clip was directed by Panagiotis Kountouras, VFX and post production done by Media Distribution Partners.

Gus G states: "Welcome To The Empire" is the opening track of the album and an obvious choice for a single. Making the video was an ongoing work in progress as we filmed the band performance back in January.
However, we wanted to blend in futuristic visual effects for the story and as I'm a huge sci-fi movie fan, I wanted to incorporate something along those lines. Our director Panagiotis Kountouras came up with the concept and we collaborated with MDP, a vfx company out of Hollywood, CA. The story is set in a dystopia, where humanity has been surrendered to the New World Order. Two cyborgs are playing with the future of mankind in a chess game. Each move has consequences and technology will be the only winner. It was a really challenging production, but we love the end result. We hope you will too!“

SABATON OPEN AIR 2020 8/4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, 2020 FALUN SWEDEN: FESTIVAL CANCELLED

Due to CORONA VIRUS mass gathering restrictions, promoters for SABATON OPEN AIR 2020, originally set to take place  8/4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, 2020 FALUN SWEDEN have cancelled the festival.






SABATON OPEN AIR will resume in 2021.






FROM SABATON OPEN AIR 2020 PROMOTERS:


English version below.
Efter att ha följt utvecklingen kring Covid-19 under våren och noggrant analyserat läget både i Sverige och andra länder, är det nu bäst att ta det mycket tunga beslutet att inte genomföra årets festival, det som skulle bli vår 13:e i ordningen sedan starten 2008.
De senaste veckorna har utvecklats negativt för oss då både vårt sjukvårdsteam tvingas tacka nej att medverka, samt att hotellboende för artister och besökare saknas då hotellet vi samarbetar med valt att stänga sin verksamhet på obestämd tid. Dessutom är det många av våra bokade band som helt enkelt inte kan ta sig hit för att spela som läget i världen är just nu.
Nästa Sabaton Open Air kommer ske 4-7 Augusti 2021.
Redan nu kan vi bekräfta att många av årets band kommer flytta med oss till nästa år. Och diskussioner med övriga är i full gång.
Din redan köpta biljett gäller till 2021, eller så väljer du att få den återköpt!
👉Du väljer att behålla din biljett som då kommer att vara giltig i sin helhet till 2021 års festival, oavsett ev prishöjningar.
Du som väljer detta alternativ behöver alltså inte göra någonting alls.
Eller:
👉Du väljer att få tillbaka pengarna (exkl bokningsavgiften) för din köpta biljett. Detta är såklart helt okej på alla sätt. Och absolut inte mer än rätt!
Du som väljer detta alternativ kontaktar kundservice@eventim.se och erbjudandet om återköp gäller till den 29 Maj 2020.
Vi är hemskt ledsna för allt lidande och problem som virus-utbrottet innebär för alla, och i synnerhet för er som planerat ledighet och investerat i resor och boende för årets festival i Falun.
Nu blickar vi framåt och biljetter till 2021 finns redan nu tillgängliga på sabatonopenair.net och eventim.se
—————
After closely following the development around Covid-19 during the spring and analyzing the current situation in both Sweden and other countries, it is now time to take the very hard decision to postpone this year's festival.
This would have been our 13th festival since the start in 2008.
The last few weeks have brought unfortunate and bad news for us since both our medical team has been forced to decline their participation, as well as a lack of hotel accommodations for the artists and visitors, due to the hotel we are cooperating with closing indefinitely. Additionally, a lot of the booked bands simply can’t make it over here to play due to the current global situation.
The next Sabaton Open Air will take place on the 4-7th of August 2021.
We can already confirm that a lot of this year's bands are coming with us for next year, and further discussions are ongoing with the remaining bands.
Your original ticket is valid for the 2021 festival, or you can choose to get a refund.
👉You can choose to keep your ticket and it will be valid for the 2021 festival, regardless of any potential price increases. If you choose this alternative you don’t need to do anything.
Or:
👉You can choose to get your money back for your purchased ticket. This is of course more than ok in every way! If you choose this alternative, please contact kundservice@eventim.se.
Please note that the possibility of a refund is only valid until the 29th of May 2020, and the booking fee will not be returned.
We are terribly sorry for all the suffering and problems that this virus outbreak has caused everyone, especially for those of you who have planned your vacation and invested in both travel and accommodation for this year's festival in Falun.
We are now looking forward to next year's festival and tickets are already available at sabatonopenair.net and eventim.se.

VAINAJA: STREAMING "KIVIRISTI" (EP) VIA BANDCAMP

Finland based death-doom metal warriors VAINAJA, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new EP release "KIVIRISTI", unleashed 4/27/2020 via SVART RECORDS.












VAINAJA unleashed "VERENVALAJA", unleashed 5/27/2016 via SVART RECORDS.

FROM VAINAJA:

ttps://vainaja.bandcamp.com/album/kiviristi?fbclid=IwAR1L6MeqtkpP0AKLC3ltg4jSEjUbID0lk3lhHqY_t92F67RVU3JY-P_cQ8w


"KIVIRISTI" EP released today!
Tracks:
1. Alistuneet sielut (Oppressed Souls) (12:50)
2. Polku (The Path) (8:58)

Where lies the root that breeds evil? The ancient question is answered by the Finnish death doom metal group Vainaja with their latest release "Kiviristi" (a Finnish word meaning ”Stone Cross”). This EP unveils a story published in two parts, with the unnamed second EP to be released in the future.
Based on traditional 19th century Finnish lore, “Kiviristi” continues the malicious story of the Church of Vainaja. "Kiviristi" adds a prequel to Vainaja’s previous concept albums ”Kadotetut" (2014) and ”Verenvalaja" (2016). These albums were based on found writings by Wilhelm Waenaa, the malicious preacher leading an unholy cult and ultimately burnt to death inside his own church.
The prequel story of ”Kiviristi” sparks from recent findings in the Finnish Forest Registry. Dating back to the 19th century, found files portray woodland locations with evidence of human sacrifice. Finnish tradition involves an item called Kiviristi with magical capabilities. Kindred to ancient pagan cultures, certain rituals were believed to have shown their conductor path to the Netherworld. The cost for such enchantment employed ritualistic murder.
"Kiviristi" discloses the possible events that converted a local man of God to one of the most feared characters in the Nordic occult history.
Mixed at Zardoz Zounds in Switzerland.
Mastered at Castle Ultimate Studios by Zack Ohren.
Available now through most streaming services.
24 bit High Dynamic Range master release date is 4.5.2020, exclusive through Bandcamp only!

NAPALM DEATH: "Basically we have made enquiries with our North American booker and he assures us that all currently scheduled gigs have been cancelled and he has instructed local promoters to issue refunds. "

FROM NAPALM DEATH:
Hi everybody,
We have been having a few enquiries via the Napalm Death channels about ticket refunds for currently scheduled gig dates - specifically in North America. There’s nothing we can directly do in terms of being able to action those, but at the same time of course we’re not a band to turn a blind eye when people need to know.
Basically we have made enquiries with our North American booker and he assures us that all currently scheduled gigs have been cancelled and he has instructed local promoters to issue refunds. What this effectively means is that you should apply for a refund at “point of purchase” – in other words, whichever channel you employed to buy any tickets. Hope this clarifies things.

Please stay safe because health and safety trumps all (no pun intended).
Love
Napalm Death

BELL WITCH and AERIAL RUIN: POST NEW TRACK "HEAVEN TORN LOW II (THE TOLL)"

Seattle Washington, U.S.A. based funeral doom metal warriors BELL WITCH have formed a collaborative project with  AERIAL RUIN as both bands have posted "HEAVEN TORN LOW II (THE TOLL)", a new track from the bands new release "STYGIAN BOUGH VOLUME 1", due to be unleashed 6/26/2020 via PROFOUND LORE RECORDS.






BELL WITCH unleashed "MIRROR REAPER", 10/20/2017 via PROFOUND LORE RECORDS.








FROM PROFOUND LORE RECORDS:


Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin have completed work on their first collaborative release “Stygian Bough Volume I” set for release on CD/2xLP/Digital on June 26. Pre-orders and new track here: https://geni.us/StygianBoughVol1
With STYGIAN BOUGH, Bell Witch duo Dylan Desmond (bass/vocals) and Jesse Shreibman (drums/vocals/synthesizers) didn’t just team up (again) with dark folk elegist Erik Moggridge (guitars/vocals) of Aerial Ruin, they fully integrated the two outfits. While Moggridge has been a part of Bell Witch’s sonic fingerprint on all their prior records, perhaps most notably for his vocals on their previous full-length, “Mirror Reaper”, he’s now part of the very fabric that makes up the five hauntingly beautiful, strikingly heavy songs that comprise “Stygian Bough Volume I”.

Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin are officially a trio on “Stygian Bough Volume I”. The addition of guitar to the bass and drum-only dynamic came naturally as the threesome discussed potential models for their joint effort. With the approach in place, BELL WITCH and AERIAL RUIN collectively wrote five desolate yet mystical songs that defy categorization. From the mournful "The Bastard Wind" and the crepuscular “Heaven Torn Low I (the passage)” to the monstrous “Heaven Torn Low II (the toll)” and the liturgical gloom of “The Unbodied Air,” “Stygian Bough Volume I” is an album of deep, dark undertows and careful respite.
Featuring art by Adam Burke, “Stygian Bough Volume I” was produced by Randall Dunn at Avast Recording in Seattle, WA.
Track listing for “Stygian Bough Volume I” goes as follows:
1. The Bastard Wind
2. Heaven Torn Low I (the passage)
3. Heaven Torn Low II (the toll)
4. Prelude
5. The Unbodied Air

Sentient Ruin is honored to bring you this glorious limited edition 12" vinyl compilation comprising all tracks from 6th Circle’s first two cassette releases: 2018's “Pacified” and “Conjuring” cassette EPs, remastered and re-packaged for the occasion. 

The two releases introduced multi-instrumentalist and sole mastermind Matt Auxier condensing years of concepts and ideas into eleven jagged cuts of anarchist and satanist post-industrial insurrectionism that explore deviant electronic dance music, dark movie soundtracks, and the most extreme fringes of punk, goth, and darkwave at their most aberrant and confrontational states, channeling with incredible craftsmanship and imagination the golden era of the genre first conceptualized in the late 80s and early 90s with cornerstone works by acts like Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly. The eleven origin tracks show 6th Circle pushing the genre's boundaries in multiple directions, reimagining the style altogether, and making the past and present of electronic industrial collide into an abrasive and pitch black synthesis of infectiously catchy beats, scathing vocals, apocalyptic atmospheres, and hypnotic distorted soundscapes that perfectly embody the archetypical post-industrial sonic dystopia. 

The long sold out debut cassette tape EP “Pacified” was originally released in 2018 by underground extreme metal tape label Knife Vision, while the followup cassette EP “Conjuring” which surfaced later that same year was released by notorious underground noise dealers Phage Tapes and Squall Recordings. With this meticulously crafted LP retrospective all tracks released by 6th Circle leading up to its 2019 Sentient Ruin debut album “The Third Estate” finally see the light for the first time ever on vinyl format (each EP on each side of the record), remixed and remastered for the purpose to their most abrasive and punishing form yet by 6th Circle mastermind Matt Auxier in person.
