Tactus release new video and album details

Picture
Canadian five piece progressive metal band Tactus will release their debut full length 'Bending Light' on October 7th. The album features ten outer limit prog tracks, produced by the band with mixing and mastering by Jamie King (Between The Buried In Me, Paradise Lost, Scale The Summit). The album follows their previously released EPs 'ins(T)rumental' (2015) and 'T' (2014) plus singles 'Enigma' and their metal cover of The Police's 'Roxanne' (listen). As an appetizer, they now released the video for the song 'Goliath'.

The band comments on the track: 

"Goliath is one of the longest song's we've ever written, and it actually went through the most iterations and re-writes of any song on the album. We think it captures some of the more progressive spirit of Bending Light, and is a great reflection of the directions in which we want to push our music in the future. We were beyond honoured to have incredible guitarist and our good friend Didier Archambault of Cardinals Pride put the cherry on top with the first guitar solo on the track."
The album is available for pre-order at the following links.

Svin release new video & tourdates

Picture
Danish masters of experimental rock/ jazz music Svin have unveiled a new video. It's an explicit video to the song "Færgen Ellen", coming off the album 'Missionær'. The album is scheduled to be released on October 21st, 2016 on vinyl LP, CD and digital on PonyRec.

Missionær is moving across the borderlands between abstract rock, drone-based folklore and ambient noise. Behind layers of polyrhythmic drums, floating keyboards, roaring saxophone and explosive guitar they have made room for airy, meditating melodies and circulating motifs.

Pilod release new video, announce new album

Picture
Belgian alternative rockers Pilod will release their second  album 'Black Swan' on October 22. As an appetizer, they revealed the video for the title track.

The band comments: "The new album is named 'Black Swan' in which the theme of the black swan, the impact of the highly improbable, will appear and that will explore a world closer to home. Wringing guitars and hidden melodies, which go back to our early roots in the 1990ies, are still the basic features of the music, but have evolved into a different sound thanks to the new line-up. Whether it is somber urgency, threatening explosiveness or a hypnotic procession pace, the songs take their time to develop and receive a direct and intense impact when played live...."
