Pelagic records, who have already given us an impressive split with Mono and The Ocean, now return with another highly anticipated episode in their split-series.  This time, Cult Of Luna and The Old Wind joined forced to record 'Råångest', which means 'raw anxiety'.

About the split: “We’ve been a fan of The Old Wind since the Feast On Your Gone LP”, says CULT OF LUNA's Johannes Persson, “and we played with Tomas back in ’99, when he was in Breach. We are from roughly the same area and originated from the same scene so it feels like the bands are connected in some way. Hopefully we’ll be able to take this northern whirlwind on the road sometime.”

You can now preorder this split on CD (here) or vinyl (here)​

Tracklist “Råångest” EP
1. CULT OF LUNA – Last Will And Testament 
2. THE OLD WIND – Wooden Scythe
3. THE OLD WIND – Daughters Of Cleanse

American death metal band 'Inverted Serenity' have released a new video for the song 'Wrought (Rot)'.  The song comes from their latest album 'Integral', which was released in October.

About the song:
"Wrought is a full speed track joining the noticeable aspects of tech-death, thrash, and black metal into a catchy and emotional fusion of music. The odd time signatures among certain parts of the song are able to remain at a patterning that does not sway away from an enjoyable flow. The chorus involves a chant back and forth between the screams of Tomas and Marco that is certainly one of our most impressive and brutal chorus structured vocal phrasings. The ending of the song drifts into a guitar interlude written and performed by Marco. The idea in the lyrics of this song is that the process of creation is also a direct means of destruction. Wrought is to self-create, as (rot) is to self-decimate. As we enter life in the physical world, we grow and create with one another and it can be a viciously difficult experience. Through the evolution of seeing the larger cycles and patterns in life, returning to the stillness of the omnipresent universal mind (death) from which we came (birth) is accepted as an inescapable truth. "
