OPETH svelano il nuovo singolo 'Width of a Circle' e iniziano i preordini di "In Cauda Venenum (Extended Edition)"

 

Gli OPETH non hanno rivali. Dal 1990, gli svedesi hanno eclissato le convenzioni, hanno sfidato le probabilità e, cosa più importante, hanno realizzato tredici album straordinariamente belli e intrinsecamente intensi per diventare una delle più grandi band progressive rock/metal del pianeta, e non smettono mai di migliorare, anche dopo aver venduto più di due milioni di dischi e aver raggiunto il primo posto nella classifica degli album tedeschi con il loro album "Sorceress" nel 2016. Ora pronta ad intraprendere un tour negli Stati Uniti con i Mastodon ad aprile e maggio 2022, la band che ruota intorno all'inarrivabile frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt annuncia l'uscita di "In Cauda Venenum (Extended Edition)" per il 13 maggio.
 
Questa uscita, disponibile in digipak, contiene le versioni inglese e svedese dell'ultimo album degli OPETH "In Cauda Venenum" con nuove illustrazioni dell’artista di fama internazionale Travis Smith nel booklet. Inoltre, c'è anche un terzo CD che include tre bonus track inedite, sia in inglese che in svedese:
 
'The Mob' / 'Pöbeln'
'Width of a Circle' / 'Cirkelns Riktning'
'Freedom & Tyranny' / 'Frihet & Tyranni'
 
"In Cauda Venenum (Extended Edition)" è ora disponibile per il pre-ordine. Sempre il 13 maggio il cofanetto in vinile strettamente limitato "Connoisseur Edition", che include le stesse tracce bonus ma rimasterizzate da Mikael Akerfeldt appositamente per il vinile, sarà disponibile per la prima volta nei negozi in Nord America. Entrambe le edizioni dell'album saranno in vendita anche al tavolo del merch della band durante il prossimo tour nordamericano.
 
I preordini sono disponibili qui: https://opeth.afr.link/InCaudaVenenum

Old School Death Metallers OVERTOUN Sign With Wormholedeath

 

Santiago-Boston Old School Death Metallers OVERTOUN have signed with Wormholedeath a deal for the reissue of their album "This Darkness Feels Alive", which is due for re-release on May 27th, 2022.

Overtoun signing statement: "We are truly honored and happy to sign this distribution deal with Wormholedeath. ‘This Darkness Feels Alive’ is an honest album that navigates through complex concepts of mental health, isolation, depression, etc; that came from the deepest part of ourselves. We invite everyone to listen to the record from start to finish, so hopefully you can connect with the sensations we had while writing it. All the work we did on the album was trying to achieve the best quality we could provide, thanks to the guidance of Pancho Arenas who produced and mixed it, the knowledge of Flemming Rasmussen who mastered the songs, and the incredible artwork of Paolo Girardi. The result we had as a team made us really proud, and we are excited to share this music to even more people.This partnership with Wormholedeath will help us elevate our career without a doubt. Everything we’ve done in music has been by our own and independently, so having the support of the label is important to us. We will do our best to keep spreading Latin American Metal to the rest of the world."

Bringing back the brutal force and sounds of Old School Death Metal mixed with Latin American music, the revolutionary young band from Santiago/Boston has been spreading their talent, passion and energy all over the world, characterized with their outstanding musical quality and powerful social commentaries.
The group was born in the hands of Agustin Lobo (drums) and Matias Bahamondes (guitars) in early 2014, but they were not complete until the addition of Mexican vocalist Yoav Ruiz-Feingold, who joined in late 2017. They’ve not stopped working since the release of their debut album Centuries of Lies (2018), which originated from a demo tape called Eyes Wide Open (2016), that establishes a strong social commentary blended by the rage of Progressive Thrash. Going through various lineup changes, their toured their home country twice, getting a lot of recognition in national and international media.
Just in the past year, the renowned bassist Felipe Leyton joined them, finishing their search for an established lineup. Their hard-working attitude led them to write and record their sophomore album in a matter of months since the release of their first LP. They took their perfectionism to another level, searching for the best production quality in every aspect. Their second album ‘This Darkness Feels Alive’ is a record that goes inside the hell of the human mind, alongside a crushing attack of pure and organic Death Metal and It will be reissued via Wormholedeath worldwide.

Yoav Ruiz-Feingold - Vocals

Matias Bahamondes - Guitar

International Prog Duo ATHEMON Drop New Lyric Video "Different From What Was Missing"

 Different From What Was Missing (Official Lyric Video)

"Different From What Was Missing" is a song taken from ATHEMON's self-titled album "Athemon" out via Wormholedeath / Aural Music Group worldwide.

Buy / Stream

Cd Format

Full of dark and enigmatic atmospheres, the self-titled record is a 50-minute concept album divided into nine songs, which tells a story about self-awareness. The instrumental consists of two guitars, a bass, and drums that together form an ideal atmosphere for those who enjoy a deeper journey. This is a creative album that seeks to forge the perfect alloy of darkness and beauty.” – Athemon

A collaboration between Adriano Ribeiro and Tom MacLean (ex-Haken/ To-Mera), Athemon is an anglo-brazilian metal band that seeks to forge the perfect alloy of darkness and beauty. Out of a love for progressive and intricate music, two musicians crossed paths online during the beginning of the Covid global lockdown to create an everlasting experience. Living on different continents, bassist/producer Tom MacLean (To-Mera, ex-Haken) in the UK and vocalist and guitarist Adriano Ribeiro in Brazil, used the digital world to their advantage and give rise to their new band Athemon.
“Adriano sent me his demo and it gave me goosebumps, so I was keen to get involved,” says MacLean. From a significant evolution between demos to their final introductory recordings, MacLean and Ribeiro created a bonding friendship over musical interests that created the perfect environment to allow them to evolve and conceive their debut full length. Formed as a gateway to express their art using progressive metal music, Athemon will debut their self-titled album on October 11th, 2021. The concept record is meant to be heard as one long 50-minute track divided into nine parts that will engage listeners on a journey that’s enigmatic, deep in sentiment, and inject a fresh outlook of self-perception during its intense and dark progressive atmosphere.
For the album’s recording, the band invited a special guest drummer from Brazil, Gledson Gonçalves who added his percussionist touch to compliment each one of the nine tracks.
“As nobody goes alone in this world (even being totally alone inside one’s own mind), the songwriting process had a lonely beginning, but a very collaborative end. The beginning of this project was driven by Adriano, but nothing would fit so well if it wasn’t for the amazing connection the three of us have (Adriano, Tom, and our special guest on drums, Gledson),” says MacLean.
The lyrics for the album were written by vocalist/guitarist Adrian Ribeiro and were inspired by thoughts of how confusing reality can be if you are not taking care of your emotional side. “The thin line between what’s real and what’s not is an endless world,” adds Ribeiro.
New fans of Athemon, can expect much more to come from the pair as they already have plans to launch their second album by the end of 2022, which they are currently composing with promising results.
As for the live spectacle of Athemon, for now, the band will let the music flow until the duo can connect from across the Atlantic for their first in-person jam session.
Fun Facts:
Until 2013, Tom was the original bassist in Haken and guitarist in To-Mera. He believes he’s one of a very small group of people to have opened for Dream Theater in two different bands.
