Demonic Resurrection announce new album, start pledge campaign

Indian metal veterans Demonic Resurrection have announced the release of their fifth full length studio album and launched a pledge music campaign in support of the release. Click here to visit the campaign

The band have announced no details for the record except a tentative release date in Feb 2017. Demonstealer commented, "More than money being a motivation, for us the pledge campaign was launched to share this experience with our fans before anyone else. I believe the fan-artist relationship is closer than ever and platforms like pledge music bypass the social media giants like Facebook and Twitter and let you interact with fans 1 on 1. So for us this campaign is about sharing the album name, tracklist, artwork, songs etc with the fans before anyone else. So we're really excited to embark on this journey. At this point we don't have any release details for how the album is released after the campaign but we are in talks with some labels, so fingers crossed."

Across The Burning Sky album details and trailer

The Nordic melodic death metallers Across The Burning Sky will release their long-awaited album "The End Is Near" 28 October at MDD Records! Now there is also an album trailer on the MDD Youtube Channel, which for the first time for over 2 years provides insight into the musical work of the band and contains sounds from the album! In this context, even the cover artwork was unveiled on which Kali, according to the album title, awaits the approaching end as the goddess of death, destruction, but also of renewal.

The artwork was realized by the german airbrush artist from brushnroll.de. The band, whose personal background and origin still is not closer known, has the album largely self-recorded and produced.
The album will contain final 11 tracks. For the atmospheric In/Outro the Soundtrack Composer Darren Curtis from Maryland is responsible. On the other 9 songs the still anonymous musicians celebrate finest melodic death metal with the feeling from the early days of the genre in the mid-nineties. The mastering was refined by Pluto Neuber in MegaWimpSound Studio (Primordial, Necrophobic, War From a Harlots Mouth, Aeternus, Blood Red Throne).

Damned Pilots sign with Sliptrick Records, announce new album

Damned Pilots announce the release of their new cd ‘Overgalaxy’ via Sliptrick Records due to be available in Winter 2016. ‘Overgalaxy’ is a steam punk concept album as drummer/founder Don Nutz says ”..it is built on the story of four cartoon characters, The Damned Pilots Don Nutz, Sgt Ote, Willer Hertz and Erik Space. They travel through space in the year 2500 A.C. on a 1970 ‘s hippy van customized to fight against their archenemy Gorguss and his evil empire”.

The lyrics, written by Sgt Ote, are about love and hate, war and peace, past and future, rebellions against failed systems, with the sense of humor typical of a sci-fi b-movie. The album has been recorded at Track Terminal Studio in Trieste, Italy by Francesco Bardy, except ‘Just Another Day’, ‘People Don’ t Die’ at Voodoosound Studios in Ijmuiden, Holland by Paul van Rijswijk.

‘Overgalaxy’ is produced by Ron Goudie (Gwar, Death Angel, Poison) and mixed and mastered by legendary producer Bill Metoyer (W.A.S.P., Trouble, Slayer). as the artwork (due to be revealed soon) has been made by Philipino artist Uzi Emperado.

‘Overgalaxy’ features nine songs written by Don Nutz and Sgt Ote and one by Ron Goudie (‘Hell Is Cold’). The style goes from mid tempo groovy metal to doom metal and psychedelics ballads combined by catchy melodies. ‘Damned Pilots’ and ‘Season of the endings’ are two groovy metal pounding numbers dominated by solid huge riffs made to bang your head to.

Poste 942 release new video

French rockers Poste 942 have released a new video for the song '49.3', showing the band playing and having fun at a festival named 'MC Morts Subites' on 11-09-2016.

Scum announce new album

Born in 1998, Scum moved from small time garage metal band to national act, with its own signature sound, an incendiary blend of Bay Area Old School metal and modern soundscapes, all embedded in a nightmare of claustrophobia! Such is the concept behind their up-n-coming album ‘Humana’ where no-nonsense lyrics are vomited over a carpet of melting thrash/death metal.

Dealing with different issues, the album “Humana” is an attempt to elaborate about human nature, what humanity means, and what role could have mankind in modern society (The intro is a Gustav Jung’s speech about human as the origin of all evil.)

Humana was recorded, mixed and produced by Stefano “Saul” Morabito at “16th Cellar Studio”
(Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour of Penance, Hideous Divinity, Adimiron and many more…) in Rome, while the artwork, by Carlo Settembrini (also vocalist of Scum) and due to be revealed soon is an allusion to the human tendency to be driven by the trends, ignoring all the limitless
potential of the individual , in favour of something bigger than the individual itself.

Scum has shredded stages for 18 years along with bands such as Node, Eyeconoclast, Subliminal Crusher, Hour of Penance and more as well as being officially endorsed by Schecter Guitar Research. The new album will be released by Sliptrick Records
