Ddent release new video
Parisian mystic post-metal outfit Ddent have unveiled their debut video "Kohol", a track from the album "آكتئاب". Directed by Christophe Acker, the video shows a man (Hamda Yacoub, the artist responsible for the album artwork) making ‘kohol’ or ‘khol’, a powder used by ancient desert tribes to protect their eyes from the sand, drought, and disinfect their wounds. As for each song on the album, the Oriental-sounding title "Kohol" draws its inspiration from Arab psalms. Ddent's debut album "آكتئاب" was recorded by Chris Fielding at Skyhammer Studio and mastered by James Plotkin. Eight heavy instrumental pieces that become one to depict the journey of a horseman throughout depression. Lunar, massive and goosebump-inducing. (read our review here)
Ashtoreth & Tamara E. Williams release "Readeo"
As a unique and exciting crossover between music and literature, the YouTube channel "Readeos" has revealed a cooperation between Belgian drone act Ashtoreth and writer Tamara E. Williams. The video features Ashtoreth's exclusive track 'Whisper' and the first part of 'Lapses', a mysterious short story cycle.
Ashtoreth comments:
"Working with field recordings has always been of interest to me. I remember vividly the first time I used a microphone and a tape recorder as a kid to just record the sounds that surrounded me and listen back to them afterwards in awe. And it has been since my days in sound art collective Building Transmissions (`99-`10) that I worked with field recordings. So for this piece, of which I knew would accompany a story I choose to work with this technique again. As I did not have any information about the story`s content, it gave me the possibility to create my own story by recording bits and pieces from my surroundings. Those original recordings inspired and shaped the progression of the piece. Sounds from reality started shifting and altered the perceived reality into another dimensional experience.`
Tamara E. Williams comments:
"I've been listening to a lot of drone and dark ambient acts over the years and their music often works inspiring. For this project, I wanted to crossover between different forms of art. The idea of simultaneously listening, reading and watching a painting was intriguing. Ashtoreth was immediately interested in this cooperation too, which is fantastic because I like his work a lot. His track 'Whisper' inspired some parts in this story, which made the music and the words come together and fuse. Perhaps it brings a whole new dimension in reading, also along with that gloomy painting in the background."

Atavismo reveal album details
Progressive power trio Atavismo from Spain have confirmed details of their upcoming new album 'Inerte'. It consists of 5 new tracks and is due out via Temple of Torturous on April 7, 2017!
Hailing from Spain, and with a critically acclaimed debut album, Desintegración, already under their belts, Atavismoare exploring new territories with their second full length release. Breaking away from the space rock jams of their debut, Atavismo have maintained a psychedelic edge, only this time around the evolution of the band is reflected in their more compact, progressive sounds.
The writing process starts with a jam session - as many great creations have - before a firmer structure is applied to the songs. Lysergic lyrics revolve around soulful feelings, love, and bad dreams which the band describe as "existential poetry". The result, among other things, is a submersion into the Andalusian rock legacy of the legendary band Triana, without losing sight of more current means of understanding psychedelic or progressive rock from bands like Black Mountain, Wolfpeople or Motorpsycho.

Porshyne reveal new song, announce new ep
Porshyne are an atmospheric rock five-piece hailing from Brighton. Formed in 2014, early releases from the band such as “Residue” and “Warp” have helped to cement their name within the Brighton music scene, leading to them playing shows alongside the likes of Black Peaks, Valerian Swing, Town Portal and many more. Now, after having burrowed away to record their debut EP “Environmental Music” with Mark Roberts (Black Peaks, Broker, The Physics House Band), Porshyne are set to return with their most heavy, emotive and accomplished material to date.
The contexture of the EP is a sound that sits somewhere between prog, alt-rock, electronic music and post rock. “Environmental Music” is a masterfully dynamic and heavily textured collection of tracks combining melodic vocals with intricate and carefully refined guitar work, which alternates between cinematic and darker, heavier phrases that are intertwined amongst complex rhythms and subtle electronic moments.
About the forthcoming EP, Fergal Lyden (Vocals/ Guitar) said, “We’re really happy about how the record has turned out and excited to get it out for people to listen to. Mark (producer) did an amazing job of capturing what we were aiming towards, and how representative we feel this EP is of us as a band is testament to that.”

Adrian Pain & The Dead Sexy stream new song
In 2010, vocalist and songwriter Adrian Pain endured events that would have left most men shattered and broken. Unwilling to take prescribed medications for his severe depression, he found inner strength in the form of the lyrics and music that sprang from his suffering. Together with his son and drummer Ethan Clark, formed a new family in the shape of their band,Adrian Pain & The Dead Sexy. Adrian describes their music as “torment and triumph, sonic seduction.” They have transcended their initial influences of Deftones, Alexisonfire, and Of Mice & Men, to a genre of metal they have given a name of its own. “We like to call what we do ‘Allcore’ ... To break it down as far as metal sub-genres go, I think what best describes us would be a blend of Progressive & Nu-metal, with Post-Hardcore & Metalcore …or NuMetalcore if you'd like!”
Their new EP 'Mixed Messages' set for release on February 10, 2017 continues their solid chemistry of an 'Allcore' metal sound with emotionally stirring and socially conscious lyrics.
Pain describes the 'Mixed Messages' EP:
“This release is like the gateway drug to metal and heavier music in general! We appeal to a very wide range of musical tastes so guys can play us for their girlfriends, and girls can play us for the guys. If you identify another way, you can play us for whomever you’d like. If any negative response comes out of it, it’ll be the fans that expect every song to get heavier with each effort. What I hope they notice is the constant evolution of our sound. The music itself is getting more and more diverse and progressive, while the song structures are also evolving into bigger, more complex arrangements. I want everyone that listens to this record to feel an emotional connection. I want people to relate to, and hear the MESSAGE in each track."

Damnation Plan release new single
Finnish progressive melodic death metallers Damnation Plan have released a new title track single from their upcoming album "Reality Illusion".
Drummer/songwriter/lyricist Jarkko Lunnas comments:
"Creating this album took us 3+ years of hard work, driving me and some of us almost insane during the process of recording the album almost entirely ourselves. It was a massive task but I believe it served the end result well! The album deals with separating the truth from the beliefs and seeing it (or not seeing it) through the different bubbles that we've learned to live in our stable and modern societies. We are estranged from the reality until we are forced to face it. The album delivers the message covering a whole spectrum of feelings from an atmospheric and emotional perspective, all the way to the maximal intensity."
The band is also running a Pledge Music pre-order campaign for the upcoming full length album, out March 10 2017.
By pre-ordering the album from the campaign you'll get 10+ in-depth video documentary episodes about the making of the album. The campaign can be found here: http://pledgemusic.com/damnationplan
The album was mixed by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale, Bloodbath, etc) at Unisound Studios.

Trevor Shelley de Brauw reveals new track
As he prepares for the release of his debut solo album "Uptown" on February 10th, guitarist Trevor Shelley de Brauw (Pelican, RLYR, Chord, Let’s Pet and more) has unveiled the opening track from the album. Titled “A New Architecture,” the song is lush and meditative, and serves as a precursor to the vast soundscapes that emerge on "Uptown".
Written and recorded over the span of nearly a decade, Uptown represents a scrapbook from a formative era in de Brauw’s life, bookended by a stint on a remote tobacco farm in North Carolina and his return to the anxiety-ridden urban eccentricities of Chicago’s historic Uptown neighborhood. "Uptown" takes a plaintive approach that unravels the meditative depth of washed-out riffs, deconstructed drones, and carefully controlled feedback. Set for release on San Francisco’s acclaimed experimental label The Flenser, "Uptown" is a stream of consciousness sustained for too long, an aural pendulum swinging between poles of murky distress and cathartic resolve that takes shape somewhere in the hazy valleys between rock, ambient and experimental music.

Lung Flower release psychedelic video
Vancouver's sludgy stoner doom grunge hybrid Lung Flower have posted their new psychedelic music video 'Beyond Burnt Out' in support of their latest album, the seven track ride 'Effigy' released during April 2016. The album is the follow up to their 2014 EP 'Death On The Crowsnest' and 2012 debut album 'Under A Dying Sun'.
The band comments on the video:
"The video was mostly shot in an abandoned house on the outskirts of Abbotsford BC. We chose this location because it was a perfect symbol for the meaning of the song, the purposely literal lyrics conveying the everyday struggle of the modern day city dwelling man. Burning the candle at both ends eventually leaves you hollow and empty, like most of this house was. We felt that this house, with its disrepair, a sad shadow of what it probably once was, served as our metaphor for a person trying to walk the edge of the abyss, the edge of alleviation and addiction. Someone who is quite literally Beyond Burnt Out."
The album is available on bandcamp.
