Polish shapeshifters ENTROPIA (psychedelic black metal mixed with krautrock, electronics and sludge) will release their fourth studio album "Total" on March 17th, 2023 via Agonia Records.
ENTROPIA's members perform under a joint moniker ULTRA. They combine a number of genres, filtered through a prism of metallic extremity. Through three studio albums - "Vesper" (2013), "Ufonaut" (2016) and "Vacuum" (2018) - ENTROPIA pushed and evolved its base sound to develop a unique sonic perspective, drenched in psychedelia. The latter plays a major part in the band's image and conceptual approach, and constitutes the new album, "Total".
"Total" encapsulates all previous installments of ENTROPIA. Pushing aside the temptation to follow along the same lines as "Vacuum", new ideas have sprout in favor of further musical growth. In this sense, "Total" stands as a brand new opening, and rests upon the sound of self-designed amplifiers and multi-layered electric guitar compositions.
"Total attempts to capture a glimpse of our ongoing and unending search," comments ENTROPIA. "It consolidates the experiences and skills we've amassed throughout the years, and constitutes a standalone, complete and utter creation; a totality, which reflects of the band's chaotic spirit."
ENTROPIA recorded "Total" in April of 2022 at studio Monochrom, located in the mountains of Kotlina Kłodzka in Poland. Heinrich House Studio engineered, mixed and mastered the album. "Total" is replete with artwork from Zbigniew Bielak (Behemoth, Ghost, Mgła).
Tracklisting: 1. Retox 2. Mania 3. Orbit 4. Total 5. Final
Stay tuned for a new single and album formats, very soon.
ENTROPIAwas formed in 2007 and originates from Oleśnica in Lower Silesia. Its output was met with growing interest from metal and non-metal community, having the group playRoadburn Festival,Primavera Sound,OFF Festival,Mystic Festivaland a European tour supporting US black/folk actWayfarer. The band contributed to the video gameCyberpunk 2077, by having their song"Future Drugs"appear on the official soundtrack.

In occasione del 30° anniversario dell’album di debutto, l'istituzione olandese del blackened death metal GOD DETHRONED è lieta di annunciare un nuovo capitolo della propria carriera. Dopo essere emersi nella scena del metal estremo dei primi anni '90 e aver guadagnato un seguito internazionale grazie a dodici album che sono diventati pietre miliari del genere, i GODDETHRONED sono sempre rimasti fedeli alle loro radici pur reinventandosi: oggi sono orgogliosi di annunciare la loro firma con Atomic Fire Records e, in previsione del loro imminente tour in America Latina, la band rivelerà un nuovo singolo sorprendentemente orecchiabile ma brutale. È già possibile pre-salvare il brano in uscita, "Asmodevs", qui (https://goddethroned.lnk.to/asmodevsPR. Una prima anticipazione sonora è disponibile in questo spettacolare video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgOlrq_jsdg. "Non è solo eccitazione, siamo entusiasti che Atomic Fire Records abbia deciso di aggiungere i GOD DETHRONED al proprio roster di artisti", commenta il frontman Henri Sattler a nome dei GOD DETHRONED. "Erano in cima alla nostra lista dei desideri di nuove etichette con cui firmare, quindi si può sicuramente dire che un sogno si è avverato! Per celebrare questo nuovo accordo, Atomic Fire Records pubblicherà il nostro nuovo singolo e video, 'Asmodevs', il 2 dicembre, proprio prima dell'Eindhoven Metal Meeting e del nostro tour in America Latina. Che modo di concludere l'anno!". Il cofondatore/A&R di Atomic Fire Records, Markus Wosgien, aggiunge: "Siamo felici di dare il benvenuto su Atomic Fire Records a una delle band death metal più durature e senza compromessi di tutti i tempi, i GOD DETHRONED. Cosa sarebbero stati gli anni '90 senza ‘The Christhunt’ e soprattutto ‘The Grand Grimoire’ e ‘Bloody Blasphemy’?! Henri Sattler è un maestro del suo mestiere e con ‘Illuminati’ ha recentemente sottolineato che i GOD DETHRONED non mancano mai di reinventarsi. L'imminente nuovo brano dice praticamente tutto".

I LORDI, i mostri dell'hard rock più amati al mondo, attualmente impegnati in un tour europeo, si stanno già preparando per il prossimo capitolo della loro spettrale storia: oggi l'orda è orgogliosa di annunciare la firma con Atomic Fire Records. Mentre il loro attuale cofanetto di sette CD (!), "Lordiversity", è stato pubblicato solo un anno fa, il famoso gruppo finlandese con il mastermind Mr. Lordi ha sfruttato appieno il tempo trascorso a casa durante la pandemia per registrare un album di follow-up che vedrà la luce nella primavera del 2023. I LORDI commentano: "Siamo dannatamente orgogliosi di annunciare che i LORDI si uniscono all'imponente schieramento della Atomic Fire Records! Siamo molto eccitati all'idea di fare dei danni con Markus Wosgien, Flori Milz e il loro fantastico team. Lasciare AFM Records (grazie mille, Jochen) non è stata una decisione facile per noi, dato che il supporto è sempre stato ottimo! Restate sintonizzati mostri folli, la prossima era è già pronta e attesa proprio dietro l'angolo...". Il fondatore/A&R dell'etichetta Atomic Fire Records, Markus Wosgien, aggiunge: "Con i LORDI siamo felici di accogliere un altro peso massimo della scena heavy metal in Atomic Fire Records. Vent’anni fa usciva il loro fantastico debutto ‘Get Heavy’ e non si poteva non amarli! La combinazione della loro immagine mostruosa con il metal tradizionale degli anni '80 è stata una vera gioia in ogni loro album ed è sempre garanzia di un vero inferno metal dal vivo. Ciò che Mr. Lordi e il suo clan di mostri hanno recentemente creato nel pacchetto di sette CD ‘Lordiversity’ mi lascia ancora senza parole e probabilmente non sarà mai più visto in questa forma. Non vediamo l'ora che arrivi il prossimo capitolo con alcuni nuovi inni mostruosi per eccellenza!". Le prime nuove melodie vi arriveranno presto, ma nel frattempo potete vedere la band dal vivo sul palco del "Lordiversitour" europeo in corso e del "The Tour To End All Tours" appena annunciato con nientemeno che i SABATON e le BABYMETAL (tutte le date sono disponibili qui sotto!). --- --- --- LORDI live: “Lordiversitour” con ALMANAC (-04.12.), DYMYTRY (-28.11. + 03./04.12.), ENEMY INSIDE (29.11. - 02.12.) 21.11.2022 DE Aschaffenburg - Colos-Saal 23.11.2022 DE Nuremberg - Der Hirsch 24.11.2022 DE Regensburg-Obertraubling - Eventhall Airport 25.11.2022 DE Berlin - Hole44 26.11.2022 DE Leipzig - Hellraiser 28.11.2022 DE Munich - Backstage (Werk) 29.11.2022 DE Cologne - Essigfabrik 30.11.2022 DE Saarbrucken - Garage 02.12.2022 NL Amstelveen - P60 03.12.2022 DE Bremen - Tivoli 04.12.2022 DE Hamburg - Markthalle 06.12.2022 LT Vilnius - Vakaris 08.12.2022 FI Helsinki - Tavastia-klubi 09.12.2022 FI Tampere - Olympia-kortteli 10.12.2022 FI Turku - MS Viking Grace “The Tour To End All Tours” con SABATON, BABYMETAL 14.04.2023 GB Leeds - First Direct Arena 15.04.2023 GB London - OVO Arena Wembley 16.04.2023 GB Cardiff - Motorpoint Arena 18.04.2023 GB Glasgow - OVO Hydro 21.04.2023 FR Paris - Zénith (La Villette) 22.04.2023 DE Frankfurt - Festhalle 24.04.2023 DE Hamburg - Barclays Arena 25.04.2023 LU Esch-sur-Alzette - Rockhal 28.04.2023 SE Stockholm - Avicii Arena 29.04.2023 NO Oslo - Spektrum 30.04.2023 DK Copenhagen - Royal Arena 02.05.2023 DE Hanover - ZAG Arena 03.05.2023 NL Amsterdam - Ziggo Dome 05.05.2023 DE Berlin - Mercedes-Benz Arena 06.05.2023 DE Leipzig - Quarterback Immobilien Arena 07.05.2023 AT Vienna - Stadthalle 09.05.2023 PL Łódź - Atlas Arena 10.05.2023 CZ Ostrava - Ostravar Aréna 12.05.2023 DE Cologne - Lanxess Arena 13.05.2023 BE Antwerp - Sportpaleis 15.05.2023 DE Munich - Olympiahalle 18.05.2023 EE Tallinn - Saku Suurhall 19.05.2023 FI Helsinki - Helsingin Jäähalli 20.05.2023 FI Kuopio - Kuopio-halli LORDI online: www.lordi.fi www.facebook.com/lordiofficial www.instagram.com/lordiofficial www.twitter.com/lordiofficial www.youtube.com/lordiofficial https://label.atomicfire-records.com/project/lordi/
SEVEN THORNS are: Mads Mølbæk - bass Björn Asking – vocal Lars Borup - drums Gabriel Tuxen – guitar Asger W. Nielsen – keys
Hello Lars! Hello Seven Thorns all!! Welcome on Spread
The Darkness. Let’s go with the interview!
Lars: Hello to you and all your readers 😊
1.On April 1st you updated your Facebook page (👉 https://www.facebook.com/seventhornsofficial) with an announcement about the new album. Will it be "Pure Power
Metal" or will you surprise us with... something completely different?
What can you anticipate?
Mads: We have moved from back in time to forward in time.
Where Symphony of Shadows had an overall vampire theme the new album will take
you to the future. We have tried to play with moods and sounds and add it to
power metal. You can expect classical uptempo power metal songs, midtempo
songs, heavy songs all spiced up with futuristic sounds to create the right
atmosphere and mood.
2.Your latest album “Symphony of Shadows” was out in 2018
via Mighty Music… I would like to know who were the Seven Thorns back then and
what are they like today?
Lars: Corona has taken it’s toll on the band. Right now we
are trying to re-organize the band and get back to the time before [corona].
The upcoming tour with Serious Black and Magical Heart will help us gat back in
the right mindset again.
3.You have played in numerous concerts and festivals, including
the prestigious CopenHell, and have shared stages with bands such as Primal
Fear and Freedom Call. What anecdote or fun fact can you tell us? Are there any
special moments that you remember with particular emotion?
Mads: What happens on tour stays on tour 😀 There has been
really many highs. Playing Maelstrom Festival (the biggest metal festival in
Sri Lanka) in 2015 and then a few days later playing festival in Stavanger,
Norway. From tropical climate to cold in less than a week.
Lars: I think that having played shows and festivals with
some of the bands that I was fan of when I was a teenager has been a huge
highlight for me. And playing on some of the big European venues and visiting
cities where I most likely wouldn’t go to, if I wasn’t playing a show there.
But we have been part of a lot of really great things because of the music.
4.At the moment, you have a show scheduled in July @ Rock
das Ding festival and a tour in December 2022 w/Serious Black. How do you feel
about playing live again after over two years?
Mads: It is almost three years since our last show on the
tour with Freedom Call. It will be so relieving to come out again. And Rock Das
Ding festival was really great – meeting old friends getting back on the stage
and just deliver power metal. The last almost three years has been really hard.
5.I really appreciate the "Symphony of Shadows"
clip and the reference to classic horror iconography. How did the idea of
combining the visual and the meaning come about?
Our text writer “Dr. P” is responsible for all the words in
the songs on the album. Terkel Christensen (our video maker) did a really great
job making the lyric video. We told him we wanted a lyric video on speed – a
video that expands the lyric video theme and we think he did exactly that. The
lyrics for the song (Symphony of Shadows) has a double meaning and the video
points it out very nicely – especially when the letter “h” evaporates from the
word “chord”. Read the lyrics and enjoy the wordplay.
6.Let's take a step back in time: 1998, the genesis of the
band. How did it happen?
Lars: I had just finished playing in a hard rock band and I
have had a dream for a decade about playing power metal – Helloween style, so I
thought “now is the time”. So I talked to a friend of mine who played guitar
then and we started Seven Thorns. Then nothing happened for 5 years and he had
already quit after the first year. I paused the band when he left and joined
another hard rock band so I could come out and play some shows but eventually I
found that the ambitions of that band didn’t match mine and re-started Seven
Thorns. And this time I was lucky and found Jesper (guitar) and Mik (vocals,
composer).
7.And after this blast from the past, how do the Seven
Thorns see themselves in the future (another 24 years)?
Lars: We will release our new album soon, continue touring,
play shows and festivals, make a new album and go new places and so on – just
the way we love it. And eventually, in 24 years, we will be touring retirement
homes across Europe in our wheel chairs.
Thank you, guys! And, as usual, hope to see you soon
playing in Italy!!
Thank you and we are looking so much forward to playing in
Italy and we hope to get it on tour program in 2023.
REQUIEM is LAMORI's 3rd single taken from the upcoming album NEON BLOOD FIRE.
Requiem is a death hymn of epic proportions. Its majestic foundation is very much inspired by Tibetan Buddhist chants. Influenced by the poem A Carcass by Charles Baudelaire, singer Matias J. came up with the lyrics one cold winter night, after having witnessed the death of a swan on the frozen sea. It will take the listener on a journey both mesmerizing and macabre, with a very progressive approach to its musical structure. The song is the third single to be released from the new upcoming album NEON BLOOD FIRE:
LAMORI has been developing their own take on the goth rock genre for over 10 years now. Combining gothic rock and metal with electronics and dark wave to produce their own neon-lit flavor. Founded in 2009 on the Aland Islands of Finland, the constellation has stayed unchanged – however, their sound is ever-evolving. NEON BLOOD FIRE, the band's fourth album to be released by Wormholedeath, will refine the soundscapes heard on the 2020 released NEO NOIR, but also introduce completely new elements to the mix. This album will have some of the heaviest LAMORI songs ever heard!
BAND LINEUP Matias Juselius, vocals Marcus Pellas, guitar Mikael Westerlund, bass Jens Wickholm, keys Emanuel Sanchez, drums
