French Extreme Metal Legionaries DEOS Sign With Wormholedeath & Announce "Furor Belli" Album

French Extreme Metal Legionaries DEOS have signed with Wormholedeath a worldwide deal for their album "Furor Belli", which is due for release on May 27th, 2022.

Band Statement :
Ave Populus, We have some good news to share with you ! We have signed with WormHoleDeath records for our upcoming 3rd album Furor Belli which will be released this spring ! Stay tuned for more informations and stay Roman

Speaking of the upcoming release, the band explain:
Ave Populus Furor Belli is a more raw and more direct album than the 2 previous ones. This is mainly due to the new lineup. Indeed François (guitar) and Harsh (keyboards) left the band in 2020. Cedric joined the band as a guitarist and we decided not to have keyboards anymore. So the music became more raw, more brutal and more direct. But it remains at the same time melodic. Cedric has fully contributed to the writing of the album since his arrival and his style has been perfectly integrated. His great rhythmic ability has elevated the martiality of the music! This album is a good mix of Black, Death and Thrash in an old school style. The music and lyrics on this album reflect the trials and tribulations of the last 2 years due to the pandemic and the lineup change. Rage, frustration, anger but also hope and friendship have forged Furor Belli. And for the 1st time we have 2 guests on 2 different songs which gives even more diversity to our music. As always with Deos, the themes are based on the history of Rome, but these same themes are still relevant today. They are the reflection of the life of the band and the current world context. The lyrics are more thoughtful and more personal even if they can seem more brutal, more cruel and more warlike than those of the 2 other albums. Now you just have to joins us and discover it .

Playing "Roman Extreme Metal" style, the band DEOS was formed in May 2014 by Fabio Battistella, Jack Graved and Loïc Depauwe. They wish to combine the sounds of Black and Death Metal with their passion for ancient Rome, which through the lyrics, graphics and stage play. After some shows in Annecy, Chambéry, Saint-Etienne or Geneva, their first album, Ghosts of the Empire, was released in December 2015 and conquered the Rhône-Alpes public with a fast, heavy and melodic style. In September 2016, with a new keyboardist, DEOS starts the recording of its second album whose artwork is entrusted to Brice Cumin and mastering to J.-F. Dagenais at JFD Studio (Kataklysm, Ex Deo). The following year, the band signed to Buil2kill Records and the second album In Nomine Romae was released in October 2017. From 11 to 15 October of the same year the band performs with the Italians of ADE during the "Rising Across the Alps tour ", followed by the " Bellum In Helvetia tour " as well as for several dates in France and in Switzerland during the year 2018. At the beginning of 2019, DEOS plays with Scuorn and Kyterion during the "Parthenope European tour". The band also participates in the first album of the Greek-Roman singer Ellenika by writing the track The Goddess and the Warrior. At the end of the year, they record an acoustic EP offering a selection of their first two albums. During the year 2020 Harsh (keyboards) and François (guitar) left the band. Cedric "Cedd" Boehm was hired as the 2nd guitarist. The year 2021 is dedicated to the composition and recording of the 3rd album Furor Belli. The mastering is once again entrusted to J-F Dagenais at JFD Studio, and the artwork to Brice Cumin. The band changes label and signs with WormHoleDeath. The release is planned for spring 2022 and will be followed by the North Imperial Tour MMXXII.

FlowerLeaf Release New Single And Music Video "The Storm". Grandiose Musical Project "DREAMERIE" Details Revealed!

FLOWERLEAF - The Storm (Official Music Video)

FLOWERLEAF are back and they are ready to start their Dreamerie journey! As a forerunner, they just released a brand new single along with a music video called The Storm.

The Storm is the first single from the Dreamerie - Chapter I: Time. It's a song about self-confidence, fighting for what you want and fulfilling your destiny.

"It was an amazing experience recording The Storm because it gave FlowerLeaf a new dimension and it gives us lots of possibilities for what we can create in the future" - singer Vivs Takahashi says.

… so it starts the Dreamerie

FlowerLeaf are preparing their next release in an ambitious project called “DREAMERIE”. The Dreamerie is the book of dreams, full of wishes, fantasies and nightmares. It contains the desires of the heart and the fears of the soul. Like every book, the Dreamerie is divided into chapters that will be released as a sequence of five short-albums within the next few years. Each chapter will bring its own theme and the first one will be called TIME. And Chapter II is already in the making.

The Storm release date: April 8th on all streaming platforms. There's also physical copies of the single available on FlowerLeaf's Webshop.

Dreamerie - Chapter I: Time estimated release date: December 2022

FlowerLeaf were founded in 2017 by Vivs Takahashi and Marcelo Kaczorowsky with the ambition to follow their dreams. After a year of discoveries and hard work, they released their debut album Stronger, which received many positive reviews from all over the world.

But they wanted more, so they decided to leave their homeland Brazil in search of new challenges and opportunities. And so they arrived in Germany in 2019, where they immediately started playing live shows and participating in festivals like the FemME - Female Metal Event in The Netherlands.

The corona-crisis struck them hard when they were still adapting to this new life, but this didn’t stop them from writing music and working on all the creative ideas and dreams that had brought them here.

And so, with the addition of Florian Mathes, David Schnödewind and Michal Maciag to the team, they are ready to start a new chapter in FlowerLeaf’s story.

BABY STRANGE - il nuovo album "World Below" uscirà il 17 giugno; il nuovo singolo ‘Only Feel It When I’m With You’ ft. Hayley Mary

B A B Y S T R A N G E

annunciano il nuovo album "World Below"

che uscirà il 17 giugno su Icons Creating Evil Art

Il nuovo singolo ‘Only Feel It When I’m With You’

ft. Hayley Mary dei The Jezabels

Ascolta il singolo in streaming | YouTube visualiser | Pre-ordina l'album

I Baby Strange hanno annunciato il loro secondo album "World Below" in uscita il 17 giugno su Icons Creating Evil Art. C’è un’autenticità che sta alla base dell’energia cucita profondamente nel tessuto di Glasgow che i Baby Strange hanno imbrigliato con una forza inesorabile nelle dieci tracce dell'album. Scritto come reazione al modo in cui la pandemia ha giocato con la salute mentale, al divario di classe sempre più visibile e al rapido aumento dei banchi alimentari in tutto il paese, "World Below" è un album che esplora il paradosso degli argomenti esposti all'interno. È una narrazione sull'universo apparentemente alternativo in cui ci troviamo improvvisamente a vivere, che è in effetti diventato la nostra nuova realtà.

Il cantante e chitarrista Johnny Madden spiega a che punto si trovavano i Baby Strange e lo spazio mentale in cui è stato concepito "World Below": "Dall'uscita del nostro album di debutto abbiamo avuto molti alti e bassi come band. Gli alti sono stati incredibili e i bassi sono stati tra i più oscuri che abbiamo mai incontrato. C'è stato un periodo in cui non abbiamo mai pensato che avremmo pubblicato un altro album.

Quando la pandemia ha colpito, abbiamo fatto un passo indietro e abbiamo guardato a che punto eravamo. Come per ogni band, era difficile non fare musica dal vivo, stavamo tutti lottando con la nostra salute mentale a livello personale e abbiamo iniziato a sentirci sconfitti.

Ma, essendo di Glasgow, non ci tiriamo mai indietro di fronte a una battaglia, così ci siamo alzati e abbiamo ricominciato a scrivere. Abbiamo prenotato un paio di settimane in una casa in mezzo al nulla e abbiamo passato il tempo a lavorare su ritmi e nuovi suoni che fossero adatti al punto in cui ci troviamo nel 2022.

Il risultato è 'World Below', un disco che scoppia di energia ed emozione.

Ne siamo così orgogliosi. È esattamente quello che volevamo creare, un album entusiasmante e onesto che si sente coraggioso e audace allo stesso tempo. La nuova era è qui e non vediamo l'ora che la gente si unisca a noi."

L'annuncio arriva con l'uscita del nuovo singolo dei Baby Strange, 'Only Feel It When I'm With You', che vede la partecipazione di Hayley Mary della celebre band indie rock australiana The Jezabels. Un allontanamento creativo dal suono caratteristico della band, 'Only Feel It When I'm With You' si basa sulle nuove texture e i nuovi suoni recentemente presentati con il lancio a sorpresa del singolo 'Midnight' a Capodanno e il suo seguito 'Under The Surface' alla fine di gennaio.

Il ritmo più lento del nuovo singolo, la melodia ipnotizzante e la voce malinconica sia di Johnny che di Hayley lo rendono uno dei brani più audacemente belli che i Baby Strange abbiano pubblicato finora.

Parlando della collaborazione, Hayley dice: “Ho incontrato i ragazzi dei Baby Strange al Priory di Glasgow. Mi è piaciuta la loro atmosfera e siamo andati subito d'accordo. C'è una piccola grande scena rock che ribolle in quella città che mi sono persa non potendo andarci, quindi sono incredibilmente entusiasta di far parte di questo brano e di rimanere connessa con loro in modo musicale. È un canzone pazzesca e non vedo l'ora di venire a suonarla dal vivo con loro in un prossimo futuro". Madden aggiunge: "Questo è uno dei singoli più emozionanti che abbiamo mai pubblicato come band. Scriverlo ci ha portato completamente fuori dalla nostra zona di comfort e ci ha spinto in un nuovo territorio come scrittori e musicisti. Non abbiamo mai avuto una voce ospite in un brano prima d'ora, ma abbiamo capito subito che doveva essere Hayley. La canzone si presta perfettamente al suo stile vocale. Conosciamo Hayley da molto tempo, quindi essere in grado di lavorare insieme su questo brano è stato molto emozionante."

L'artwork e i visual collegati al singolo seguono la serie di uscite recenti, esplorando un mondo alternativo che offre una visione delle amare promesse del capitalismo dell'ultima fase. Portato in vita dall'animatore di Glasgow Bovine, l'artwork stesso è diventato un argomento di conversazione.

Rockshots Records - Cosmic Metal VANDERLUST's New Music Video Searches For The "Orphan Planet" Off Upcoming Self-Tilted Album Out April 2022

Cosmic metallers VANDERLUST (ft. members of S91, Dreal) will be inviting fans into their galaxy of wonder with the release of their self-titled debut album on April 15th, 2022 via Rockshots Records.

Today, they share their next odyssey in the exploration for the "Orphan Planet", which is the fifth single off the forthcoming record. Having already introduced fans to singles "Scavengers of Kuiper Belt", "The Last Ganymedian", "Requiem For An Ancient World" and "3 Suns".

"Orphan Planet is a more proggy track. The riffs are complex, but the song has also fast and catchy melodic phrases. Around the end, the song gets heavier and heavier with a powerful falsetto vocal section. What if an orphan planet would enter our solar system? And what if this planet would have traces of an extinct alien form of life?" adds the band.

Listen to "Orphan Planet" at the following links:

Music Video - https://youtu.be/Ms6T3CwOspY

Birthed to travel the cosmos, Italy's Vanderlust is a power-heavy metal band with prog-thrash influences that tells tales of space travels, astronomy, space engineering, and sci-fi adventures.

"We tried to mix a prog-thrashy riffing in the roots of Megadeth, Vektor, and Tool with epic vocal parts like Iron Maiden, Helloween, Angra, and Lione’s Rhapsody. We also put sci-fi elements in our songs, so you can hear also something from Voivod." adds the band.

This debut recording is like a stellar system with 12 different planets. The star at the center of the system represents the heavy-power metal around all the songs revolving. Despite all the tracks being irradiated by the same light, they are all different from each other. Vanderlust has fast thrash, slow and doom, shiny and brilliant to grunge, and darker songs. Like planets, which appear like simple small bright spots, but in reality, are all big worlds, Vanderlust's songs are more complex than they sound at first listen. In fact, you can easily sing along to some of the choruses even if there are complex riffs in the background. Vanderlust is particularly proud of the participation of opera singer Letizia Cappellini who does vocals on select tracks and helps the band further expand the vocal register of their compositions. The band also adds the presence of synths and electronic elements to the compositions to set the sci-fi mood of the lyrics.

"The main goal was to start a metal band that could be an inspiration for young people, a band that could tell them stories from the future when mankind will have overcome its limits and the solar system will be an entire human colony. This idea came to mind to founding members Francesco and Santo when they began their search for other members that could fit. Drummer Giacomo Mezzetti joined the space odyssey right before the covid-19 outbreak. Vocalist Riccardo Morello joined the band during the first lockdown in Italy, so the first song was entirely composed online, using videocalls and file sharing." adds the band.

For their live aspect, Vanderlust is currently working hard to create a thrilling spectacle, giving all their energy to the fans and letting them join them on the space journey.

Vanderlust is recommended for fans of Iron Maiden, Angra, Tool, Helloween, and Vektor.

INCITE – svelano il video di 'Mental Destruction'. "Wake Up Dead" esce oggi!

Il momento è finalmente arrivato e i thrash metaller dell’Arizona INCITE pubblicano oggi il loro nuovo album "Wake Up Dead"! Forgiato tra sangue e lacrime, questo nuovo lavoro combina le più grandi forze del metal estremo. Gli INCITE, rispetto alle band più patinate, possiedono grinta e determinazione autentiche. Lo spirito della cultura musicale pesante e l’attitudine scorrono nelle vene del cantante Richie Cavalera, del chitarrista Eli Santana, del bassista Christopher "EL" Elsten e del batterista Lennon Lopez. Attraverso cinque album e una manciata di EP, il gruppo dell'Arizona con rabbia calibrata e intenti violenti ha dichiarato guerra all'ingiustizia, alla disuguaglianza economica e a una serie di simili mali sociali. Ora l'attesa è finalmente finita e si può ordinare "Wake Up Dead" in digipak, LP nero e LP limitato viola + nero marmorizzato qui: https://incite.afr.link/WakeUpDeadPR

Il cantante Richie Cavalera commenta: "Dopo un anno e mezzo di attesa, 'Wake Up Dead' è qui! Siamo tutti così orgogliosi di questo disco, le nuove canzoni spaccano, i vecchi classici mostrano a tutti da dove siamo venuti musicalmente, e l'artwork è straordinario. Siamo entrati a fare parte di un nuovo team pazzesco, e siamo pronti per godere del duro lavoro e del sacrificio che tutti noi abbiamo messo in questo album. Non vedo l'ora di suonarlo dal vivo per voi metallari molto presto. Hella metal forever!".

Gli INCITE suoneranno i seguenti concerti negli Stati Uniti
04/08 US - Laredo, TX - Wonder Lounge
04/09 US - Austin, TX - Come & Take It
04/10 US - El Paso, TX - The Rockhouse

05/14 US - Mesa, AZ - The Nile

Chi non può partecipare agli show, può godersi il nuovo video musicale della band, 'Mental Destruction', diretto da Vicente Cordero: https://youtu.be/07GOP9jsllA

"Metalheads, eccovi 'Mental Destruction', per noi una nuova dimensione musicale", aggiunge Richie. "È pesante, ha una chitarra acustica e un video pazzesco. Parla del collasso del proprio stato mentale e del non fare nulla o preoccuparsi di cambiarlo. Abbiamo tutti il potere di cambiare in meglio chi siamo, dobbiamo solo farlo accadere. Questa è una canzone enorme per noi a tutti i livelli e mostra i nuovi confini che stiamo raggiungendo con la band. Muovete il culo!".

Rossometile: pubblicano il video di Desdemona

“Desdemona” è il nuovo video e singolo dei Rossometile. Sesto estratto dall’album omonimo “Desdemona”.

“Desdemona” è un nome di donna che significa “nata sotto una cattiva stella”.

In “Desdemona” tutti potrebbero immedesimarsi, ma è anche la Desdemona dell’Otello di Shakespeare, una donna il cui destino è già scritto, che finirà per essere uccisa. Il brano quindi si riferisce anche a tutte le donne vittime di violenza.
