Gli Aexylium hanno
reinterpretato in chiave folk metal i temi principali delle colonne sonore
di Game of Thrones e Vikings.
Fin dalla formazione del progetto avvenuta nel 2014, la band italiana si è
esibita in rinomati festival come Dumeltica, International Music Festival,
Montelago Celtic Festival, Malpaga Folk & Metal, Rock Inn Somma, Druidia e
Strigarium, condividendo il palco con Elvenking, Wind Rose, Nervosa,

restrizioni, nell'Agosto 2020 gli Aexylium sono stati scelti
dalla città di Milano per esibirsi allo storico Castello Sforzesco.
Il
nuovo album "The Fifth Season" è un concreto
passo in avanti verso la crescita e la maturità musicale, ed è formato da
ballate, riff taglienti, orchestrazioni complesse e brani più dark ispirati
alla mitologia Norrena. L'album include anche special guest
vocali come Samuele Faulisi (Atlas Pain), Arianna
Bellinaso e i membri del Coro della Facoltà di Musicologia.
L'album è stato registrato ai Twilight Studio da Davide
Tavecchia con l'artwork di Jan Yrlund (Manowar, Testament,
Korpiklaani).
Symphonic-metal group Vivaldi Metal Project announces the release of their new album “EpiClassica”, published on February 22nd, 2022.

Watch official videos taken from "EpiClassica":
Vivaldi Metal Project's first record "The Four Seasons" revolved around the concept of the various "seasons" of the human life - from birth to death. As a continuation of the last, this new album explores the "seasons" of our emotional experience as human beings - from joys to sorrows and from frailty to deep strength. Each song creates a rich musical tapestry expressing the “colours” of raw human emotion, while weaving a common thread throughout the album.
"EpiClassica" not only features classical masterworks by Vivaldi, but the works of other great composers such as F. Chopin, J. S. Bach, G. Fauré, F. Schubert, J. Brahms, F. Liszt, C. Saint-Saens, A. Dvořák, L. V. Beethoven, W. A. Mozart, and T. Albinoni. While based on classical themes, these songs are largely composed of original material, representative of Vivaldi Metal Project’s symphonic-metal style.
This new album comprises the group’s largest cast of musicians to-date with vocalists, band, orchestra and choir on every track. Most notably, EpiClassica boasts a massive roster of renowned classical and metal artists including Mike Portnoy, Rob Rock, Jeff Scott Soto, Mike Terrana, Mark Boals, Roy Z (B. Dickinson), Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth), Anders Johansson (Manowar), Rolf Pilve (Stratovarius), Steve Di Giorgio (Testament), Zaher Zorgati (Myrath), Emma Zoldan / Nils Courbaron (Sirenia), Coen Janssen (Epica), Jennifer Batten (Jeff Beck/Michael Jackson), Joe Stump (Alcatrazz), Nick Z Marino (Y. Malmsteen), Chris Caffery (Savatage), Mark Cross (ex-Firewind), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Elina Siirala (Leaves' Eyes), Zoe Marie Federoff / Gerit Lamm (Catalyst Crime), Alessandro Del Vecchio (Jorn, Revolution Saints), Aeva Maurelle (Xandria), Melissa Ferlaak (Plague of Stars), Philip Bynoe (S. Vai), Kelly Simonz, Matt Bissonette (E. John/J. Satriani), Giacomo Voli / Roberto De Micheli (Rhapsody of Fire), Felipe Andreoli (Angra), Marco Sfogli (J. Labrie), Andreas Passmark (Royal Hunt), Marcelo Moreira (Z. Stevens), Bob Katsionis (Firewind), Henrik Klingenberg (Sonata Arctica), Milan Polak, and many more…

Norwegian Irriverent Death Metallers Noxium Ferus' first offensive audio attack is the single called “Dickslapped by the Devil”.
This song is inspired by true events, unmentionable ones. It also presents the comeback of guest artist Jontho Panthera, Ragnarok's drummer and leader, after more than 5 years away from the drumkit due to injuries. Jontho shares his lifetime of extreme-metal drumming experience with Noxium Ferus, to fulfill this wicked and twisted track. He also shares the mic with Espen on the last verse, adding demonic screams to the dark growls of Espen. Get ready- to be dickslapped by the Devil!
“Dickslapped by the Devil” was composed by Steinar Aven (guitar and bass), all lyrical and vocal arrangements by Espen Viking Dyngen, Guitars by Torgeir ‘Alvakien’ Espedal, and drums plus guest vocals by Jontho Panthera of True Norwegian blackmetal icons- Ragnarok . Mixed, mastered and produced by Martin Gravdal.
“Dickslapped by the Devil” is a track taken from the upcoming album BLASPHEMICON, due for release via Wormholedeath worldwide. More info coming soon!
'Dickslapped By The Devil' (Official Lyric Video):
Brutally Hurtful, or Viciously Harmful, or Ferociously Obnoxious- take your pick! Noxium Ferus is the latin form of these descriptions, and the band is completely uncompromising in their musical identity and content. Call it Death metal, call it Black metal, call it extreme metal- it doesn’t matter, it is brutal, and it is any way they want it to be! This Norwegian metal act call their style “true Norwegian terror metal”, and have the slogan “metal with balls” as a subtitle to their name. Catchy and riff-based, with a more intelligible growling style than most average deathmetal, they present their audible horrorshow with offensive humour and strong antireligious content. This is not superficial and random, this is deep, dark and from a churchgoer’s view- pure evil. What started out with simple rock’n roll and thrash metal influences, turned into something much darker and fiercer, under Espen Dyngen’s diabolical guidance and beastly growls. Noxium Ferus is a band project created by sheer coincidence. Having been writing lyrics for many black and death metal bands since the early 90’s, but never having done any vocals attempts himself- in March 2018 Espen Dyngen made a half-drunk attempt to improvise some growling to one of Steinar Aven's music projects. It all turned out surprisingly well, against all expectations (especially Espen Dyngen's own) , and Steinar Aven managed to persuade Espen to start dedicating himself to this newly discovered vocal talent. And so new life was given to old songs, and Espen finally got to sing his own lyrics himself! Steinar being busy with many other projects, asked Espen to run the new band and create its concept. And henceforth the logo, imagery, lyrical content, and whole identity of the band took form out of Espen’s dark mind. And Noxium Ferus was born. Today Espen is running the band together with his trusted right hand, Torgeir ‘Alvakien’ Espedal, the new guitar player. Other members who have contributed are: Arne Gandrud (Massemord,Maosoleum of death), Ole Nic (Trelldom, Spitfire), Bjørn Beelzeböb Berge (Spitfire), Chris “The headhunter”Rygh. Steinar Aven is active in several other bands, like Nattverd (blackmetal), Chinbjer (blackmetal), Aventyr (hard rock), Steinras (blackmetal), Amazing assholes (hard rock), and others. So he is a busy guy. Espen Viking Dyngen has been a part of the old Norwegian Black Metal scene since the early 90's, but never as a musician until now. In the early days he was manager and promoter of Trelldom, and in close alliance with Gorgoroth. He also wrote lyrics and poems that were used by many different bands. His lyrics can be found on albums by Behemoth, Forgotten Woods, Ragnarok, Deathcult and Belphegor. He is now a regular part of the Belphegor blood family, helping Helmuth with lyrics, designs and stage artifacts. He designed and built Helmuth's infamous micstand and blasphemic new sigil, and he created the iron crown and axes for Hoest’s sigil of Taake. Noxium Ferus have recorded 9 songs, that are more or less finished, in a homestudio, and are working on a 10th track which will be the titletrack for their planned 1st album- BLASPHEMICON.
Progressive death metal legends SADIST (feat. Obscura's Jeroen Paul Thesseling and ex-Necrophagist's Romain Goulon)arepremiering a new single titled "Finger Food" in a lyric video. The song is taken from the Italians' upcoming album "Firescorched," due out May 20th on Agonia Records. Listen to the new song and watch the lyric video at this link:
"Firescorched" is the fastest, highly experimental and most extreme album of SADIST's career. The songs are fresh, embrace blast beats and give away a horror vibe, in combination with gloomy and anguished lyrics. The band's adventurous style, featuring jazz and Middle-Eastern influences, pierces through a veil of progressive death metal that cloaks nine new compositions (eleven, if counting two bonus songs).
Tracklisting: 1. Accabadora 2. Fleshbound 3. Finger Food 4. Burial of a Clown 5. Loa 6. Aggression/Regression 7. Three Mothers and the Old Devil Father 8. Trauma (Impaired Mind Functionality) 9. Firescorched 10. Rerek * 11. Accabadora (Atitai)*
*Box CD bonus tracks
The band's personnel includes - besides constant member, co-founder, guitarist and keyboardist Tommy Talamanca - long-running vocalist Trevor Sadist (with the band since 1996), new virtuoso drummer Romain Goulon (ex-Necrophagist, ex-Benighted) and fretless bass master Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Obscura, ex-Pestilence).
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Tommy Talamanca at Nadir Music Studios in Genoa (Italy) with artwork design by Paolo Puppo.
"Firescorched can be described as Sadist 2.0," comments Talamanca."It's not a real concept album in the classical meaning of the word, despite the fact that most of the lyrics are somehow connected. Some of them are real horror stories, and the whole album sounds really creepy. We all love the cover artwork, which adds to that feeling."
SADIST started out in the early nineties, having emerged from Genoa in Italy. The band went ahead of its time, with an adventurous take on the then-developing progressive death metal subgenre. Its presence was firmly established through an unmistakable style, detectable since the debut installment "Above The Light" from 1993, as well as following albums: "Tribe" (1995) and "Crust" (1997). After the release of "Lego" (2000), which brought about a temporary shift towards the avant-grade/core spectrum of the genre, SADIST went on a hiatus. The band returned to its proven sonic formula in 2005, having put out four studio albums since, and continues to maintain its epic take on death metal, featuring jazz and Middle-Eastern elements. SADIST played before huge crowds as a support act and opener for such iconic bands as Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer or Motorhead, guesting at Olympic stadiums and gaining exposure at high-profile metal festivals as Wacken Open Air (1998), Gods Of Metal (2006 & 2010) or Hellfest (2010). The most recent trek took place in 2019, when the band toured Europe withI Am Morbid, Vital Remains and Atrocity.
