ABOUT NILE
Founded by Karl Sanders (guitars, vocals), Chief Spires (bass, vocals) and Pete Hammoura (drums) in 1993, NILE released their first EP Festivals Of Atonement (1995) through their own label, Anubis Records. The band’s second EP Ramses Bringer Of War was released via Visceral Productions. Dallas Toler-Wade (guitars) joined the band in time to support the release of their first album Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka (1998), with NILE touring the US as support of the famous MORBID ANGEL, and Europe as support for VADER and SIX FEET UNDER. The debut was followed up by two other blasting records - Black Seeds Of Vengeance (2000) and In Their Darkened Shrines (2002). Drummer George Kollias joined the band in 2004, becoming the 4th legendary drummer to occupy the drum throne of NILE. Several long months of intense songwriting and pre-production by the band culminated with the release of their paramount album Annihilation of The Wicked (2005). NILE’s continuing success led the band to signing with the record label par excellence Nuclear Blast; releasing NILE’s NB label debut finally in 2007, called Ithyphallic. A two month long blitzkrieg tour as support on Ozzfest in the USA brought the band to the attention of a much wider, diverse audience; gaining new NILE fans across a wide demographic and expanding the band into new touring opportunities worldwide.

After releasing their remarkable follow-up albums Those Whom The Gods Detest (2009) and At The Gate Of Sethu (2012), NILE are ready to unleash their new, eighth bone-crushing masterpiece to the masses now - What Should Not Be Unearthed.
The band had only one goal for their new record: “The goal for the new record was sheer epic brutality,” guitarist Karl Sanders jokes, but then he answers seriously: “Really though, the focus this time around is on brutal Heavy Metal riffing and songwriting; kind of like of an »Annihilation Of The Wicked« approach but very streamlined to achieve maximum destructive impact. So we believe that we have a truly crushing disc to bring to metal fans. Although Unearthed is still full of the kind of undeniable musicianship people have come to.

BARSHASKETH: POST NEW TRACK "OPHIDIAN HENOSIS I"

New Zealand black metal warriors BARSHASKETH have posted "OPHIDIAN HENOSIS I", a track from the bands new release "OPHIDIAN HENOSIS",  unleashed 7/30/2015 via WORLD TERROR COMMITTEE and  BLUT & EISEN PRODUCTIONS.



FROM WORLD TERROR COMMITTEE:
The CD version of Barshasketh's new full length album was officially released today by Blut&Eisen Prod. A vinyl version will follow at a later point, co-released by Blut & Eisen Prod. and W.T.C.Productions.
"BLUT & EISEN PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the third album from one of black metal's brightest/darkest hopes, BARSHASKETH's Ophidian Henonis. Originally hailing from New Zealand but later relocating to Scotland, BARSHASKETH have been patiently perfecting their bewitching craft these past five years, away from prying eyes but with sights set on diabolical fullmoon mysticism. Theirs is a sound that resonates with the stripped-bare, nightsky purity of second-wave black metal, from the ancient days when black metal was truly a cult for criminals and diehards. Ophidian Henosis is BARSHASKETH's grandest distillation of these eldritch energies yet. At once familiar and foreign, Ophidian Henosis explodes forth with cryogenic violence and fog-drenched atmosphere, arcing about with subtle shifts in texture and twists in composition, maintaining a headspace of otherworldly splendour whilst never lingering too long in a monochromatic mire. For however committed to purist black metal BARSHASKETH may be, their journey across Ophidian Henosis is a multi-hued one, recalling the early days of Sacramentum, Kvist, Setherial, and Isvind among others - in other words, the spectral darkness of the mid-1990s - and brimming with a passion and poignancy that can only come from the most obsidian of souls. Ophidian Henosis marks the beginning of BARSHASKETH's ascent...(NTB)"

SHRINE OF INSANABILIS: SET TO UNLEASH "DISCIPLES OF THE VOID" LP

Sacramento, California, U.S.A. death/thrash metal warriors SHRINE OF INSANABILIS have revealed the art work for the bands anticipated label debut "DISCIPLES OF THE VOID", due to be unleashed 9/22/2015 via WORLD TERROR COMMITTEE (EUROPE) and FALLEN EMPIRE RECORDS (NORTH AMERICA).











FROM WORLD TERROR COMMITTEE:

Shrine of Insanabilis - Disciples of the Void
W.T.C. Productions is proud to present the debut album of Shrine of Insanabilis, Disciples of the Void, set for international release on September 22nd. Although literally emerging from nothingness earlier this year, Shrine of Insanabilis are no mere acolytes, instead evincing a master's knowledge across their debut album. Never more aptly titled, Disciples of the Void comprises six testimonies to the fiery aspiration for enlightenment through inconceivable nothingness. These testimonies are also manifested into this world by their corresponding sigils. Shrine of Insanabilis vividly portray these visions through a heaving mass of obsidian black metal, forever rising and falling, surging and merging, offering glimpses of glory and valleys of despair in equal measure. Like most W.T.C. Productions, Disciples of the Void is impeccably recorded - bold, full-bodied, even Technicolor - with mixing & mastering done by A.O.D. at Temple of Disharmony, and finished off with David Glomba (Teitanarts) cover art truly deserving of its malefic contents. Blinding darkness, unbearable silence, and incureable madness, all displayed for everyone to experience: this is a raging beginning on a path through the Void. (N.T.B.)
A vinyl version of "Disciples of the Void" will be released at a later point, in co-operation of W.T.C.Productions (for Europe) & Fallen Empire Records (for North America).
Tracklist
1. End All
2. Ruina
3. Acausal Paths
4. (...........)
5. Invocation
6. Still Of This Earth
7. Cycles And Circles
8. Acerbus

And So It Is Done!


“For those that are confused”
We would like to clarify to those promoters and bands to whom it may yet be unclear, that Vinny Bochicchio of Signature Riff is no longer part of organising Zemial's North American tour.
We wish him well in his future endeavours.
We worked closely together for 3 months and despite some of Vinny’s great ideas, not a single show was booked or confirmed.

Hence, as many of you know, earlier this month we reached out to our own USA contacts to help us plan this tour from zero.
Thanks to the invaluable assistance and enthusiasm of Zemial’s long-standing fans and friends from all across the USA, we have managed to ensure that this tour is going full steam ahead.

Once again, it has been proven that you that have made this happen. You have summoned Zemial and it is for each of you that we do this.
Our sincere thanks.
So It Is Done.
