HIRAES - Dormant [DIGISLEEVE CD]

THE DUSKFALL is back! Their new opus which was mastered by Ahti Kortelainen (Sonata Arctica, Moonsorrow, Sentenced…) marks the band’s return to the scene after seven years of silence and delivers all the strengths of the Swedish metallers! Intense guitar solos, unforgettable melodies and brutal death / thrash riffing are the most obvious elements of the band’s style. Above all soars the aggressive, yet emotional voice of Magnus that gives a very special edge to anthems like “Endgame”, “Farewell” or “We The Freaks”. With “Where The Tree Stands Dead” THE DUSKFALL truly embraced the essence of their sound. This IS Swedish Metal at its very best! Tracklist: 01. To The Pigs 02. Farewell 03. I Can Kill You 04. Where The Tree Stands Dead 05. We The Freaks 06. Endgame 07. Hate For Your God 08. The Charade 09. Burn Your Ghosts 10. Travesty 11. We Bleed The artwork was done by Gustavo Sazes (u.a.

Regarding subject matter "Nemesis" describes at best the direction of DEAD ALONE’s new album. Devastation, death and sadness are the leading topics of this longplayer that is the most grown up and multi-faceted one of the group so far. Between Death, Black and Doom Metal DEAD ALONE created their own multi-dimensional space for over ten years and develope it consistently with "Nemesis". Steadily changing between aggression and grief these ten new compositions are creating a vortex that tears the listeners right into the darkness and captures them merciless between these extremes. The drums were recorded at the "Devasoundz Studios" (SEPTICFLESH, ROTTING CHRIST, CHAOSTAR) in Athens directed by Fotis Benardo (SEPTICFLESH, CHAOSTAR). For the recordings of bass guitars, guitars and vocals DEAD ALONE worked with Sebastian Moser of the "Grotesque Studios" in Munich again, who already gave “Ad Infinitum” the right sound. Besides the recordings the mix and the mastering were also made there. 1. Nemesis 2. Eclipse 3. Great New World 4. Of Ash & Flesh 5. Confession 6. Wreckage 7. Watch Me Fall 8. As Worlds Collide 9. Shade 10. The Awakening 11. Bonustrack: Confession (Alternative Mix) Ltd. DigiPak, limited to 100 copies!

Melodic Death Metal that you can not clearly define but on the other hand can be described as the continuation of the typical In Flames sound when they left the path of Death Metal. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Fascination Street studios Sweden by Johan Örnborg, Jens Bogren, Viktor Stenquist, and Andre Alvinzi (also Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Kreator, Opeth etc.) the perfect sound was crafted for this overlong EP.

Hailing from the depth of Switzerland, ARCTURON reach out for the throne of melodic Death Metal. These 11 amazing tracks were recorded in the well-known Abyss studios in Sweden by Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry). 2013 Supreme Chaos Records

Digipak CD with 12-pages booklet. VEMOD are by no means an average band. The Norwegians exist in the liminal spaces and the crossroads of places. The trio has chiselled their sophomore full-length "The Deepening" from the same sonic granite that its predecessor "Venter på stormene" came from over a decade ago. This bedrock is found in Namsos, where VEMOD were conceived as a lifelong passion project at the turn of the century by then 12-year old Jan Even Åsli. The nearest big city is Trondheim where the fiercely individual local Nidrosian black metal scene, which refers to the city's original name, provided VEMOD with its first point of musical reference as embodied by the first demo "Kringom fjell og skog" (2004). When the Norwegians reemerged seven years later with both the track "Moestæ Qverelæ" on a split-single and the demo "Vinterilden" in 2011, they had considerably changed. The trio had taken a step outside by strengthening elements that have already been present before: a sprinkle of the majesty reminding of early IN THE WOODS..., a dash of melancholia, and a knife tip of introvert contemplation among a wide range of emotional and vivid sonic imagery. VEMOD's musical transition finds comparable parallels in the development of French brothers-in-spirit ALCEST even though there was no direct influence flowing either way. In hindsight, the Norwegians also pioneered such currently popular styles such as blackgaze and post-black metal, although they never subscribed to either. With their debut full-length "Venter på stormene" just a year later in 2012, VEMOD opened their music to new places: A mind-blowing performance at the prestigious Beyond the Gates festival in 2013 and the legendary special show within the national treasure of the Vigeland Mausoleum at Oslo's Inferno Festival 2014 cemented VEMOD's excellent reputation even across the Atlantic. Now, "The Deepening" arrives with a different production, which resulted in a changed overall tone compared to earlier works and the Norwegians also reached out and tapped into new stylistic strata adding further elements to their sound. Even the lyrical themes running through "The Deepening" tell of change, transience, transformation, and growth. "The Deepening" offers an opportunity to look past long held beliefs and comforting illusions. At the crossroads of VEMOD's second album at this point in space and time waits a deepening understanding of their musical world. Tracklist: 1. Mot oss, en ild 2. Der guder dør 3. True North Beckons 4. Fra drømmenes bok I 5. Inn i lysande natt 6. The Deepening
