Belgian post-punk acts The Mary Hart Attack are setting up a crowdfunding campaign in order to be able to buy new equipment after 80% of their stuff was stolen from their rehearsal room. Read the full statement below
Donate here: http://worldofcrowdfunding.com/help-mary-hart-attack-een-bestolen-band Dear friends, family, acquaintances, fellow musicians, and especially music lovers, The Mary Hart Attack is in deep mourning. On April 23, 2016, we found out that our rehearsal room was robbed. Eighty percent of our instruments and gear were stolen. An extension of our body has been taken from us. The police was informed, and now you too. DIY to DIWYS As a band we stick to the DIY-philosophy (Do It Yourself). But sometimes DIY isn’t enough. Now we count on you! Given the situation we are now as a DIWYS-band (Do It With Your Support). The probability that we find our material is small. We have to get over it. How painful it might be. We are in a very bad financial situation at the moment. The deficit runs up to around 12.000 euro. We are talking about a professional drumkit, very good cymbals, terrific amps, unique pedals … We need money. It is as simple as that. Every contribution is important to us. 5 or 500 euros? You see what you can do. We didn’t have an insurance. We didn’t expect something like this would happen. We are licking our wounds right now. You can support us financially. Above you can enter a free gift. Below you can support us while we make you happy with perks. Check them out! We plan a benefit gig. We are looking for a convenient moment and venue! We hope somewhere in June. Here are the various options to support us financially:
Keep your eyes open. We have a lot of information on our stolen instruments and gear. We have an inventory. Click here to view the inventory, serial numbers and photos. If you see our gear on a market or on second hand channels (online and offline) then email all useful information to themaryhartattack@gmail.com Despite everything, we keep our heads up. Even though we feel practically decapitated. Thanks for your support Kristof, Will and Kris The Mary Hart Attack

Yes it's true. British progressive blackened death metal band (what a mouthful) Akercocke have announced their reunion and published their first song in over nine years.
From their facebook-page: We have returned after a 5 year absence from the live circuit. We are reinvigorated by the return of our original guitarist Paul Scanlan and the ranks are completed by Dam front man Nathaniel Underwood on bass guitar. Following the great experience the band enjoyed in 2008, we are proud to return to the Bloodstock Festival Main Stage for a second time. Expect fan favourites from the past and killer new tunes from the present. See you down the front!
Obviously, a decent reunion demands new music, and also in that Akercocke delivers. Check out their newest song.

Here is a message from the gore masters Avulsed:
Hi Goremaniacs! To celebrate the 25th anniversary of AVULSED we've decided to commit a very ambitious project, that is a double album containing 18 of our most outstanding songs from our entire discography showing not only the evolution of these songs through the years, but also adding very special guest vocalists on each song: Peter (VADER), Barney (NAPALM DEATH), Tomas Lindberg (AT THE GATES), Sven (ABORTED), Antti Boman (DEMILICH), Chris Reifert (AUTOPSY), Per Böder (GOD MACABRE), Anton Reisenegger (PENTAGRAM CHILE), Kam Lee (ex-MASSACRE), Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER), Mike Van Mastrigt (ex-SINISTER), John McEntee (INCANTATION), Ville Koskela (PURTENANCE), Will Rahmer (MORTICIAN), Ludo (SUPURATION), Johan Jansson (INTERMENT) & Paul Zavaleta (DETERIOROT). A total of 17 singers in 17 of the songs!! This double album (80 min.) will be released in a deluxe double CD digipack with slipcase and a thick 40 pages booklet containing the original versions on disc #2 (just for the freaks who hate re-recordings), double gatefold 12"LP and double Cassette with slipcase!! "Deathgeneration" will come on a very limited black boxset with silver foiled logo, of which only approx. 100 copies will be made containing the 2-CD, 2-LP & 2-MC. This special cassette release can only be obtained on this boxset that will come with T-shirt, poster, signed photo card, sticker, patch, badge, guitar pick and other goodies. The 2-CD, 2-LP & T-shirt can be obtained separately or in bundles too. For this ambitious (and expensive) project, AVULSED will need the inestimable collaboration of its fans for which the band will release a Crowfunding campaign during the next days. HELP US TO ACHIEVE THIS HISTORIC PROJECT!! The goal of this Crowfunding campaign is to get back all costs incurred on the recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, design and manufacturing of the different articles related to "Deathgeneration". It's quite a lot of money for us (not even this goal of 12.000€ will be enough, but will help!! Hopefully we'll surpass it!!) and we can only get this done with the help of the real AVULSED goremaniacs worldwide!! Please, spread this campaign as much as you can and encourage your friends to participate!! The more money we get, more we'll invest in doing more things, not only the ones here offered. Most probably we'll make higher quality stuff, add goodies, perhaps some video-clip... who knows!! Unfortunately we only have the chance to accept payments through PAYPAL, so those of you who don't have an account, you can always ask a favour to some friend, he pay for it and later you pay to him somehow, hehe!! We can't actually offer you previews of the articles, because we still haven't got the cover art done, but you can expect another astonishing cover art!! Release date for "Deathgeneration" is planned for 1st of November, but we'll need to be manufacturing everything during the summer to get it ready by autumn and mail out all pre-orders during October.
OMINOUS ECLIPSE has posted a new lyric video for the title track from their latest album 'End of Days' released in 2015, which was an immediate follow up to their 2014 debut EP 'Beyond The Apocalypse'.
Vocalist/ guitarist Graham Murphy comments on the lyric video: "End Of Days," the title speaks for itself. We took an "end of the world" concept and used a "balance of light and darkness" theme with a biblical topic. The idea is "Death," symbolized as darkness, shadowing over the world to consume all life. Humanity turns to "God," symbolized as light, in hope for salvation. God is the one who sent Death seeing us as being undeserving of the gift of life. Although the song may come off as trying to preach morals from a religious sense, we are really just portraying an apocalypse themed song where both light and darkness are our enemy." ![]()
Tracklist:
1. Death March (2:36) 2. Morning Hate (3:55) 3. The Reckoning (4:57) 4. Pestilence (3:36) 5. Desecration (4:30) 6. Plains of Death (5:49) 7. Aspects of War (5:00) 8. Abandoned (5:12) 9. End of Days (4:1) 10. Beyond The Apocalypse (5:11)
Austrian gothic rockers Luna Rise have revealed a video for their cover of Ultravox' megahit 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes'. The song comes off their 'Dark Days & Bright Nights' album, which I reviewed a few days ago (read).
