LACERATION are a Northern California death metal band. After various demos, splits and a compilation, LACERATION have finally released the bands first full length and debut release  "DEMISE". 

 

  LACERATION'S "DEMISE" kicks off with the title track, an instrumental with an acoustic intro, fore boding the evil intensity to come..

 

LACERATION'S "VERBAL EXPIRATION" evokes a good groove with some excellent rhythm guitar riffs. At 1:15,  "VERBAL EXPIRATION" shreds an excellent rhythm guitar riff as it rides the track and fits well. Vocalist Luke Cazares vocals are a death metal rasp, and audible. 

 LACERATION'S "BED OF NAILS", is heavy as hell, complete with blast beats and tight musicianship."BED OF NAILS" also features some awesome guitar solos. .. .

  LACERATION'S "MONOLITH" is chock full of quality riffs, spiced up with some melodic rhythm guitar and good solos. . 

LACERATION'S  "INHUMATION"  begins with  epic rhythm guitar riffs.At 3:53 "INHUMATION" slows down the pace to end the track. 

 LACERATION'S "PERPETUAL SICKNESS" is an evil as hell track.LACERATION drummer "FAUSTINO" lays down the hammer with both groove and blast beats as a rolling riff drifts through the track. 

 LACERATION'S "HUMAN MALEVOLENCE" features a groovy and melodic riff and some excellent drumming.

LACERATION'S  "IMITATION" destroys the mind as at 1:06 the band picks up the pace with a well executed thrash beat seguing into blast beats and tasty riffing for a well written track.

LACERATION'S  "WEAPONIZED DOMINION" evokes old school 90's death metal, played tight with conviction. "WEAPONIZED DOMINION" features excellent musicianship, sure to get pit going.  

 LACERATION'S "PARASOMNIA" enters in as a mid paced thrashy death metal track with some understated rhythm guitar playing, heavy as hell with melodic moments and good, emotive guitar solos.  

LACERATION'S  "DEMISE" closes with "SEVERED INNOCENCE". Chock full of tasty riffs, the band destroys everything its path. "SEVERED INNOCENCE" features a definitive riff as the track  pulverizes the senses instantly with some chunky riffs. At 1:52,  "SEVERED INNOCENCE". delivers an understated riff, a good break down during the gory madness. 

 

LACERATION are the culmination of various early 90's death metal. An amalgamation of influences as diverse as MALEVOLENT CREATION, early DEATH, early PESTILENCE and SUFFOCATION. 

 

While LACERATION aren't overly technical, the musicianship is excellent with a focus on rhythm guitar riffs and dive whammy solos. 

LACERATION'S  "DEMISE" features excellent songwriting and enough tasty riffs to eat a meal. 

LACERATION have really progressed past their early trash demos and have found  some brutal footing. 

If you like late 80's, early 90's old school death metal, you will absolutely ADORE LACERATION'S  "DEMISE". 

Get in the pit, you're in for a brutal ride.  .

 ONDFODT unleashed "DODSKRIKETS KALLELSE", 1/25/2019 via IMMORTAL FROST PRODUCTIONS. 

FROM ONDFODT:

Ondfødt return with their 3rd full length album «Norden», 2 years after their 2nd album “Dödsrikets Kallelse” was released. With Norden (which was crafted during 2019), the band has managed too develop their sound drastically and all for the better.

Magnificence drums who pound right through your speakers entangled in a blasphemous dance with the guitars who provide a strong and straight forward Black Metal sound! The vocals are as unholy as they should be and the bass completes the music with the right dose of power. Every song is a pure offering to the one true divinity, which is the eternal darkness.

Norden is an album that delivers with No Compromise what so ever and is a must have for every Black Metal and Metal fan without a doubt. Pure Scandinavian Black Metal is what you can expect on this album!!!

FROM METAL CHURCH: 

 

Concerning our recently deleted post addressing the news that Mike’s passing was a suicide, we wanted to dispel any misconceptions that might have arisen from certain media reports. In our efforts to do that, our attempts at honesty created a narrative that fell outside our purest of intentions. We were in no way, shape or form referring to anything in relation to vaccinations, COVID or politics. We were saying our brother was hurting and while he was seeking medical care for it, the treatments he was utilizing did not protect him. Otherwise, he would still be with us today.

If you knew Mike Howe, then you knew he was a truly good human being who loved his friends, his family and his many fans around the world. He would always go the extra mile to make someone feel good and he would always give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. We ask that you remember Mike in that way and for the amazing metal music he created.

This is an extremely difficult time for everyone who knew Mike personally and those that knew him through the music. We are all still processing the loss of our brother. We apologize that the original statement was misunderstood or created an incorrect dialog. We ask that you please stop attacking each other in relation to Mike’s passing and Metal Church. We ask that you take that energy and use it to keep Mike’s memory alive by sharing the music he created while he was with us. We want Metal Church music to bring people together as it has over the years and not be divisive.

Godspeed Mike Howe, WE LOVE YOU!!!

NEW SINGLE + ALBUM PRE-ORDER⁣

⁣

The gates of hell have finally opened up again, to reveal 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗧𝗛’s 13th manifesto, recorded during the lockdown periods of 2020 and entitled ‘𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙚’.

⁣

Pieced together in isolation, at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk with studio guru Scott Atkins, the album is pitch-black, perverse and at times absurdly brutal, following a nihilistic concept both evocative and relentless.⁣

Now poison your eyes and ears with the most brutal new album track, accompanied by an infernal music video directed by Vicente Cordero.⁣

‘𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙤𝙨’:⁣

‘𝙀𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙁𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙚’ is now available for pre-order:

It is really huge pleasure to bring back one of Vader’s most classic song from De Profundis. „Blood of Kingu” is pretty heavy and still catchy tune so influenced by H.P.Lovecraft epic stories. Created in Summer 1995, right before we entered Modern Sound Studio in Gdynia. We made the video clip in old VHS type style using shots from first event in 2021 at Louderfest streaming show. This reminds original „Incarnation” video, which promoted „De Profundis” in 1995/96, when the album was released. ENJOY!

 ATAKOR unleashed "LIVE EVIL", 2002 (SELF RELEASED).

 

 

FROM LELAHELL:

 The Algerian metal family has just lost one of its pioneers 'Salem Azzi' of the band Atakor . Rest in peace dear friend we will never forget you!

 

FROM HAMIMI RABIA: 

 

Our friend Salem Azzi from Boulevard des Martyrs in turn succumb to this cursed virus.

He was of immense kindness and unparalleled humility and delicacy. Respectful of each other and faithful in friendship. Letterred, polyglote, great reader, in love with cultural things, music, cinema, theatre, he was part of the management of the programming of the brilliant Azibi Boualem team.

Like all 'good guy' he had been somewhat marginalized in this structure after his director left and then squarely sidelined.

He told me 3 or 4 years ago about his deboirs at the Programming over a coffee taken together in Garidi where he lived and then about his profession as a journalist (his basic training) in Canal Algeria where He seemed to have found his markers a bit.

My godly thoughts accompany his family and loved ones.

 Greenville, North Carolina, U.S.A. based melodic, folk death metal warriors AETHER REALM have posted a video for "CYCLE" , a track from "REDNECK VIKINGS FROM HELL", unleashed 5/1/2020 via NAPALM RECORDS. .  





FROM AETHER REALM:

New video for Cycle out now! Link in the comments.

Director - Jaraad Nageer

Cinematographer - Ana Maria Manso

Additional VFX - Church Grim

Guest vocals - Michael Rumple

“The lyrics for 'Cycle' came to me in a desperate place. I was trying to make sense of why I still experienced these long episodes of depression, even when there didn't seem to be an obvious reason for it to come on. It's like it was always waiting to sneak up and snatch me out of the moment, and no amount of personal growth or skill mastery or artistic recognition could prevent it from taking me in its grip.

So I thought - if I can't prevent the feeling from coming on, I can at least give myself a tangible reminder that this is normal for me. That I've made it out of low places before, and I will again. This song helps keep my feet on the ground when I'm feeling cocky highs, and it gives me some hope when I'm running low. It was a pleasure to turn that emotional blooming and wilting that we all experience from time to time into a visual aesthetic with Jaraad Nageer and Ana Manso."

FROM ZZ TOP: 

 

"We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX. We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the ‘Top'. We will forever be connected to that "Blues Shuffle in C.”

You will be missed greatly, amigo.

Frank & Billy

WOW! Dusty Hill. What an icon. @ZZTop ’s bassist forever. So unique. Always a gentleman from the days of us opening for them through the recent days of them opening for us. I don’t know what to say but “Thank you” and “Rest however you damn well choose!” https://t.co/tHfjLy1xbj

FROM VERNON REID (LIVING COLOR): 

 

Dusty Hill was the kind of musician that could be in a world famous band, & be satisfied with making it work. Like Rick Laird, who also passed on recently, nobody seeming to notice. Getting it done with humility is the opposite of the narcissism that fuels modern music culture.

 FROM WARREN HAYNES: 

RIP Dusty Hill

“Damn! Gov’t Mule is holed up in rehearsal and we just got the sad news. It's no secret that ZZ TOP was (and is) a big influence on us. I’ll never forget the first time I heard them: I had the single of “LaGrange” and the flip side was “Just Got Paid” which is odd because they’re from two different albums, but ZZ TOP always did things their own way. I moved backwards from there and discovered the “First Album” and “Rio Grande Mud” after hearing “Tres Hombres.” Man, that was/is some tasty shit! A lot of noise for three people.

Dusty was the foundation for that sound that they discovered–that chemistry that is necessary with any great band but even more crucial for a trio. Something about the way he played with Billy and Frank made it seem like a single organism traveling through the universe and and his voice had an urgency that was a beautiful counter-balance to Billy’s more relaxed and lower-pitched blues drawl. Each new song brought something fresh and different that the one before didn’t have. This trait was indicative I guess–maybe a foreshadowing–of the many reinventions of themselves they would come up with throughout their career when faced with the challenge of how to survive in an ever-changing music business. Many bands and artists cut from similar cloth would get “lost in the shuffle” (no pun intended) but ZZ TOP somehow found their footing time and again–one foot clinging to their roots while the other touched down heavily in new uncharted territory- a bold and uncannily clever journey through the barely navigable maze.

I’m honored to have spent some time soaking up some of that vibe, be it in the studio, on stage, in the dressing room, or elsewhere and sharing a little insight into what made the Little Ol’ Band From Texas tick. These sort of observations are mostly indescribable but the one thing I can put into words is that they were three distinct personalities with a common mission. That’s what great chemistries are made of.

As we continue to trudge through today’s rehearsal which I’m sure is gonna wind up being mostly playing and listening to ZZ TOP songs, I’m thankful for the chemistry that we have and reminded that we should never take it for granted. Thanks to those like ZZ TOP that came before us, we were able to combine our collective and individual influences together in search of something unique. We should all be so lucky as to discover something as unique and buoyantly filled with personality as ZZ TOP." - WH

 

FROM  JEFF SCOTT SOTO: 

hate that my social media has become more of an obituary but such is life, young or old, we are but mere mortals when our time comes.

RIP to the GREAT Dusty Hill of ZZ Top. Thank you for the decades of music!!
