DAMNED IN BLACK (SUMMER 2023 BLACK METAL NEWS AND TOUR DATES)

 Here we are with DAMNED IN BLACK (SUMMER 2023 BLACK METAL NEWS AND TOUR DATES) . More black metal news will be posted on this page shortly.

 



 


1. Swedish black metal warriors MARDUK have stated bassist JOEL LINDHOLM has left the band after an on stage nazi salute at England's INCINERATION FEST. 

FROM MARDUK: 

 Following a variety of intolerable stage antics by a very drunk Joel at Incineration Fest last week, he has vacated his position in the band. Our old friend and bass player Devo has agreed to step in on a temporary basis, so this is unlikely to affect any of upcoming shows.

 2. German avant garde black metal warriors PORTA NIGRA are set to release "WELTENDE", due to be unleashed soon in 2023 (release date and more info T.B.A.) via SOULSELLER RECORDS.


FROM PORTA NIGRA:

The 4th Porta Nigra album will be entitled "Weltende" and released soon via Soulseller Records. Read all infos below.

3. German atmospheric black metal warriors  ANTRISCH will release the bands latest release "EXPEDITION II: DIE PASSAGE" on cassette via CANTI ERETICA PRODUCTIONS (release date T.B.A.).   




FROM ANTRISCH:

PHYSICAL RELEASE & PRESALE OF EXPEDITION II

68° 54′ N, 98° 56′ W | 68° 15′ N, 98° 45′ W

Good people of the Empire,
Dear supporters of our expedition,
Esteemed prospective customers,

our scientific suppliers (to wit Canti Eretici Productions from most enchanting Italy) succeeded in capturing our transmissions on magnetic tape by summoning the powers of electromagnetism.
Being an elaborate procedure, there will of course be a strictly limited amount of copies.

Furthermore, our indefatigable scientific suppliers accomplished yet another method of converting our transmissions into physical shape through the wizardry of spinning optical discs.
Said sound carrier will be wrapped and offered by a 6-panel-digifile including a 16-page-booklet with all lyrics, illustrations & pieces of art done by our highly esteemed sharers of our excitement & external expedition suppliers Timon Kokott Art-Work Dantas Inferno.

Presale starts now.

Yours truly,
the Basecamp

6. Ireland/Iceland black metal warriors SLIDHR have re-signed with DEBEMOR MORTI PRODUCTIONS.



FROM DEBEMOR MORTI PRODUCTIONS: 

SLIDHR – Re-Signing & DMP Vault, Part V

We are pleased to announce that SLIDHR, one of Ireland/Iceland's premier Black Metal entities, has renewed its bond with Debemur Morti Productions for the follow up to 2018's "The Futile Fires Of Man".

The forthcoming record bears the title of "White Hart!" and is an intense trip into some of the most immersive misanthropy Black Metal music has to offer. Composer Joseph Deegan allows us a sneak peek at what's to come:

"I would describe our Art's aura as deeply honest and heartfelt. My blood boils with contempt for so much of this world that it can sometimes be difficult to focus on anything else. Thankfully I can channel these emotions into a creative endeavor such as this album. In the oversaturated pantomime that is today's Black Metal scene it can be near impossible to find sincerity. Whatever you may think of SLIDHR, just know that the passion is genuine.

Concerning the new album, you can expect a far more aggressive offering this time: full of passion, hate, venom and honesty. Most of the material was written between 2018 and 2019 and the recording process actually started a couple of years ago, but we only recorded our individual parts when the inspiration was strong and the fire was burning – particularly regarding the vocals, the passion needed to be high. Luckily, however, there has been a seemingly endless supply of fuel for what needed to be a spiteful performance. We live in interesting times…"

This announcement date was not chosen by chance: exactly ten years ago - on 24th May 2013 - we unleashed "Deluge", SLIDHR's world-darkening debut. Joseph recalls:

"The "Deluge" album holds some great memories. To begin with it was the first SLIDHR release that Bjarni played on and he has been such a huge part of what became 'our sound' on all the recordings that followed. Listening back, I still like what we did on that release. It was a bit of a departure from the first couple of recordings, but in a positive way. Of course, there are always things you would do differently in hindsight but that's how it should be I suppose."

To honor this important release from the formative years of DMP, the fifth part of our Vault series is dedicated to SLIDHR's exceptional debut album.

Formed in 2005 and hailing from Dublin, Ireland, SLIDHR is one of the country's most baneful Black Metal entities. The band's name derives from the Sliðr, a river flowing through Hel, the land of the dead in Norse mythology - a moniker which befits a powerhouse of the netherworld. Founded as a solo project by the uniquely creative artist, tattooist and bassist/guitarist/vocalist Joseph Deegan, the band has prioritised quality over quantity throughout their discography.

In 2006 – three years after launching DMP - we joined forces with SLIDHR for the cassette release of their debut, "Demo 1", a 15-minute introduction to orchestrated madness. During its short runtime, the demo accomplished more than many far-lengthier releases in a display of exceptional songwriting and dense, crushing soundscapes from an act that arrived fully formed.

Today marks a special moment in DMP history: 10 years to the day that DMP released "Deluge", SLIDHR's first full-length album.


7. Italy and Poland based black metal warriors HYL have posted the bands anticipated debut release "WHERE EMPTINESS IS ALL", unleashed 3/20/2023 via ODIUM RECORDS. 


8. French black metal warriors BLUT AUS NORD are set to release a new offering later this summer.




FROM BLUT AUS NORD:

Disharmonium - Nahab
The album will be released on August 25th. A first song and also pre-order options will be revealed on June 12th.
 
9. U.S. black metal warriors UADA have parted way with guitarist JAMES SLOAN over misconduct issues.
 
 
 
FROM UADA:
 
UADA has officially parted ways with guitarist James Sloan.
After receiving consecutive accounts and admittance of misconduct, we have decided to let James go. It is of utmost importance that we protect ourselves, the band, and most of all, the fans.
After recently learning about years of manipulation, lies, deceit, abuse, and sexual harassment towards many different people, we feel that we have made the absolute best decision in moving forward without him.
Our thanks and appreciation go out to everyone who has come forward and provided proof about this situation.
Please know that UADA will never stand for this type of behavior and that our only agenda here is music and the spirit of its creation.
Unfortunately, due to these circumstances, we are now forced to cancel our appearances in Tasmania and Australia next month, but we hope to make it up to the fans down under as soon as we possibly can.
Thank you for your understanding and our deepest apologies to anyone who may have been hurt because of these actions.
Sincerely,
Jake, Nate, and Josh.
