Peter Pan Speedrock announce retirement and plan international farewell tour for 2016

An international farewell tour in 2016 will be the last chapter in the saga of the loudest band from the Lowlands. Dreams came true, goals were achieved, Peter Pan Speedrock had their say and left their mark, so the book may close. After twenty years it’s time for singer-guitarist Peter van Elderen, bassist Bartmann and drummer Bart Nederhand to embark on new endeavors. Meanwhile the Dutch speed rockers take off again, for their Japanese tour starts on November 27.
The farewell marks the end of an era, because Peter Pan Speedrock are more than a band. This force of nature is a counterweight for Holland's lack of earthquakes and hurricanes. Since PPSR arose from Eindhoven in 1996, the sonic landscape in the Netherlands has been shaken up and blown to smithereens. This relentless approach eventually gained PPSR worldwide recognition. Alas their roller coaster ride will come to an end somewhere in 2016.
While they are flying to Japan, the three Lighttown diehards are probably reminiscing about a long and lively career. In 1996 they had a damn good feeling about the road ahead, but no-one foresaw it would lead Peter Pan Speedrock across the length and breadth of Europe numerous times, cut through by tours in North America and Australia. To top it all PPSR instigated the grand slam of rock on Dutch soil: Speedfest. Last Saturday this annual international festivalhalla celebrated its tenth anniversary.
With over 25 releases under their belt PPSR are still on top of their game: supercharging their own brand of rock & roll vigor and winning crowds over by playing scorching live shows. Initially they strived to play 2247 shows, as much shows as the Ramones, but the counter will stop at around 2000 shows next year. If that’s the only unreached objective, it must have been a wild and wonderful ride. And the million visitors who witnessed PPSR live over the years will agree. Let’s drink to that with someSpeedrock Premium Heavy Lager. That’s right, PPSR even have their own beer brand as part of their legacy.
No matter what the future holds, Peter Pan Speedrock shall ring on forever and a day!

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

Inverted Serenity release new lyric video

19/11/2015

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. "
