"Dear Friends.
It's such a immense honor for us in Krisiun to announe the following statement.
The band will take the direct support slot on the next Cannibal Corpse European tour.
Touring with these guys is not only a great opportunity but a great responsibility as well as Cannibal Corpse are clearly one of the biggest metal acts out there.
We are proud and honored to be given the chance to perform right before them.
Since the release of our latest album "Forged in Fury" (Century Media Records) we have been touring non-stop and our live performance will be as hard and brutal as it possibly can be.
We've been working relentlessly hard to represent what we call Death Metal and being part of this tour is a great achievement for the band.
So, we'd like to invite all you Death metal maniacs to come out and witness a night of pure relentless brutal music.
See you at the show,we will share a beer.
Alex and Krisiun"

In anticipation of the tour, KRISIUN just launched a new video for the song "Scars Of The Hatred", filmed at PartsySan Open Air 2015. You can watch it here: youtube.com
KRISIUN's latest album "Forged In Fury" was released in 2015 and press reactions have been outrageously positive, with Metal Hammer (UK) stating that the "Brazilian berserkers hit a career peak". "Here lies the difference between followers and leaders. Krisiun always belonged to the second category and it's never been truer than in 2015."
The album scored #1 in the sound check of LEGACY (D) right away, and made it to # 7 in the RockHard (D) sound check and to #8 in the Metal Hammer (D) sound check.
You can buy it in all formats here: CMdistro.de
Forged In Fury was produced by Erik Rutan, the brain and heart of death metal masters HATE ETERNAL and former guitarist of MORBID ANGEL. Rutan has worked as a producer for his own band as well as for CANNIBAL CORPSE, SIX FEET UNDER, MALEVOLENT CREATION, MADBALL, AGNOSTIC FRONT, to name just a few-- additionally, he also co-produced KRISIUN's Conquerors of Armageddon album back in 1999!
The stunning cover artwork was created by renowned artist Joe Petagno (MOTORHEAD, MARDUK, VADER, etc.).

Aborted: : first song of upcoming album "Retrogore" launched
ABORTED's 9th full length crusher, Retrogore, will be hauled from the grave on April 22nd, 2016 and fans should expect nothing less than one of thee most relentless and fiercest albums from Belgium's favorite gore-mongers to date! This new offering will not only combine elements from ABORTED's trademark sound but will also add in some carefully selected new ingredients proving why Retrogore is truly a bloody chunk of raw and rotten meat, refined with creepy melodies and sinister atmosphere... but hey, the proof is in the pudding right? Well, sit down and get ready for a heaping helping of what the new album has to offer with the title track, "Retrogore".
Grab a spoon and dig on in: retrogoreVideo
Sven de Caluwe, ABORTED front man, comments on the new song and album:
"Here it is ghouls and maniacs! The first, opening track and title track to our fine new little piece of auricular mayhem called RETROGORE. A profound little diddy that somewhat recalls the finesse and tactfulness of Monty Python's 'The meaning of life' or as we shall call it our own 'The meaning of Death(metal)'. You see, folks, there are blast beats, there are ridiculously fast kicks all over the place, really, really, reaallly dark melodies to make you churn and some shredding for those who like that thing called musicianship. To top it off we have myself puking all over it in a fashion that would make Cookie monster cringe and Kim Kardashian shake that big ole butt of hers. In other words, it's Aborted, it's uncensored gooey, gory fun for the whole family! Enter the nostalgic world of RETROGORE and don't be a chump, get a pre order and be part of something that will bring you joy and happiness, for at least one hour! Guaranteed!"
"Retrogore" features an incredible artwork with a great attention to detail by the one and only Christopher Lovell: christopherlovell.com

Dark Funeral: : announce release date for new album "Where Shadows Forever Reign" & reveal album cover!
Six years after the release of their latest album, the Swedish masters of black metal, DARK FUNERAL, will finally release their new album on June 3rd, 2016 via Century Media Records! It will be entitled "Where Shadows Forever Reign".
Lord Ahriman comments: "Wow, did 6 years pass already? Time surely flies fast! But you know what, we're back! DARK FUNERAL is back! And in true DARK FUNERAL spirit, like so many times in the past, we continue to push all boundaries musically & bring Black Metal into a new, fresh & dark dimension. This is by far our most professional, technical, dynamic & epic album thus far. And compared to previous albums, each new song offers a unique spirit & identity that is more profound than ever. And whether you like extreme Black Metal or not, I'm sure every fan of Metal will find songs on this album that they can enjoy to its fullest!
Every piece of the new album is combined into total perfection. The music, lyrics, musicianship, artwork & production. The artwork was made by Necrolord and the album was recorded at Dugout Studios with producer Daniel Bergstrand and studio engineer George Nerantzis. And I couldn't be more satisfied with each and everyones contribution.
Anyway, it feels absolutely fantastic to be back with new music. And I can't wait to let you all enjoy our latest Satanic Symphony 'Where Shadows Forever Reign'. See you all soon somewhere on the road!"

Napalm Death: : Launch new video clip for "Dear Slum Landlord"; North American tour starting soon!
UK Grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH are about to start a massive touring campaign across North America as part of the "Savage Imperial Death March Tour" together with The Melvins and Melt Banana. Therefore, a new video clip for the track "Dear Slum Landlord" off NAPALM DEATH's 15th and much praised current studio album "Apex Predator - Easy Meat" has been launched now.
This very special clip for "Dear Slum Landlord" was created by Costin Chioreanu / Twilight Media and includes performance footage shot by Oliver Barth / Visions In Fear. The video is being premiered today via the website of NPR here: npr.org
NAPALM DEATH vocalist Mark "Barney" Greenway checked in to comment on the video as follows: "Being a very queasy and deliberately monotone kind of song, we felt simplicity was the key with the video for 'Dear Slum Landlord'. Suitably, thanks to two production people in Oliver and Costin - who really understand the contrasting elements of Napalm Death - it's simple, desolate, black and white and just that little bit grim, befitting the subject matter of interconnected housing/labour exploitation which does its best to remain hidden from view."
Here is a list of all upcoming live dates for NAPALM DEATH announced so far (New additions marked *), including several additions (and sold out shows!) to the North American run as well as newly confirmed European dates for the summer:

ZOAX: : launch video for "The Bad Blood"; reveal album details
UKs finest ZOAX have launched a video for their brand new track "The Bad Blood", which is also the opening track of their upcoming self-titled album. The eagerly awaited debut will be released on May 13th, 2016 via Century Media Records!
Use this link to watch the video for "The Bad Blood": youtube.com
Vocalist and frontman Adam comments: "Since day 1, we have always set out to make this the opener for the album because it has an element of introducing each band member. But what really sold us was opening with a track that says the lyric 'If there is a god, watching over us. Can someone tell him to, keep the bad blood'. It's a big question that I would feel so many people ask themselves especially with the current state of everything in the world today. This track was one of the early ones that we finished, and afterwards we then realised that we have a lot more to say on this album than we initially thought."
ZOAX - "ZOAX" track-list:
01. The Bad Blood (3:13)
02. Devil Dance (3:02)
03. Roses All The Way (2:54)
04. Fly High (3:24)
05. ZuperHeroez (2:19)
06. The Wave (4:52)
07. Good Times (3:04)
08. Mirrors (3:40)
09. KSYCHIA (2:51)
10. King And Queen (3:29)
11. Alive In Sound (3:54)
12. Sl?(3:05)
ZOAX will be special guest to FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND on their 'Last Chance To Dance' final farewell tour starting later this month. FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND are playing one very last run of shows, performing the album "Hours" one night and "Casually Dressed" the following, night alongside songs from their other records and EP's. The tour package also includes the US metalcore originators SHAI HULUD. See below for the exact dates!
Formed in 2013, London-based ZOAX are a band set on creating music that inspire themselves in a seemingly stale and incestuous gene-pool. Still retaining the heaviness of their peers whilst infusing a broad focus on groove and melody, the 5 piece have succeeded in moulding a sound that sets them apart from the monotony of the masses. Feb 2014 saw the band introduce themselves to the world with the debut EP, "XIII". Wetting the palate of listeners, the release lead the band to its 2nd Download Festival performance and on to tours with Cancer Bats, Polar, Feed The Rhino. He Is Legend and Nothing More. Drawing from a wealth of live experience in previous bands such as Rise To Remain, Axewound, Burn Down Rome and Time Is A Thief, the young-group control a stage with the maturity and finesse of the old dogs. With a live show that combines neck-breaking ferocity with Dickensian charisma, ZOAX are quickly cementing themselves as a must-see live band.

Lacuna Coil: : check out the cover and track listing of "Delirium" out May 27th, 2016
There is an old sanatorium up in the hills of Northern Italy. An old, abandoned, and decayed fortress whose corridors are filled with the ghosts of a thousand tortured minds and souls. A place where every wall still bares the scars of countless damaged lives...
Welcome to the LACUNA COIL Sanatorium!
With their 8th studio album the Italian Gothfathers decided it was time to up the ante, switch into a heavy mode and finally take full creative control over every aspect of "Delirium" that is set for a worldwide release on May 27th, 2016.
The track listing of "Delirium" reads as follows:
1. The House Of Shame
2. Broken Things
3. Delirium
4. Blood, Tears, Dust
5. Downfall
6. Take Me Home
7. You Love Me 'Cause I Hate You
8. Ghost In The Mist
9. My Demons
10. Claustrophobia
11. Ultima Ratio
After being heavily involved with previous productions Marco "Maki" Coti-Zelati took over the leading role as producer together with his fellow bandmates. 2016 shows LACUNA COIL including US drummer Ryan Blake Folden as a tight unit that realized their collective vision for "Delirium" at BRX Studio in their native Milan between December 2015 and February 2016. Yet again they were working with Marco Barusso (engineer, mix) who had not only worked with LACUNA COIL in the past on several albums such as "Dark Adrenaline" and "Karmacode", but also on Italian high profile artists like Eros Ramazzotti or Laura Pausini. Marco "Maki" Coti-Zelati also created the artwork for "Delirium" which is based on an atmospheric session captured by Italian photographer Alessandro Olgiati.
LACUNA COIL live:
20.04.16 (PHL) Quezon City - Amaranth Stadium (Pulp Summer Slam Festival)
14.05.16 (USA) Cherokee NC - Cherokee Event Center (w/ Halestorm, Cilver)

Moonsorrow: : launch static video for "Non Serviam" (Rotting Christ cover)!

MOONSORROW's Henri Sorvali comments: "WE DO NOT SERVE.
Everyone in Moonsorrow has been a great Rotting Christ-fan since the early 90's and with our version of this song we wanted not only to honor the band but also give the credit how much we have been influenced by them throughout our history. With our hails and deepest respect to our brothers in Hellas, we proudly present our interpretation of their creation: Non Serviam."
ROTTING CHRIST frontman Sakis Tolis comments: "The Non Serviam dictum is more topical than ever nowadays and we are more than honored, that the Great Finish Pagan Metal Warriors, Moonsorrow, have honored it and gave their own vision on how our early 90's song can also sound nowadays. We all in the band find their creation amazing and we send our respect to the north. Keep the spirit alive!"

: MORBID SAINT - "Spectrum of Death" vinyl reissue & extended edition OUT NOW!
A masterpiece of raw and rabid, deadly thrashing madness has returned as stunning reissue via Century Media Records: MORBID SAINT's "Spectrum of Death"! Originally recorded as a demo in the late 80's and produced by Eric Greif (Acrophet, Viogression), the 1990 released album by the Wisconsin thrashers offers a vicious and intense mix of early Slayer, Kreator, and Dark Angel that has not lost any of its violent impact.
"Spectrum of Death" is available on vinyl including an extensive 8-page LP-sized booklet as well as on double CD, and digital. The latter two have been released under the title "Spectrum of Death (Extended Edition)" and contain everything MORBID SAINT have recorded so far including the rough mix of the unreleased, often bootlegged second album, "Destruction System", various tracks recorded in 2010 and 2011 plus the 1992 demo aka "The Black Tape", of which only 50 copies were ever made.
For this release, founding member Jay Visser (guitar) dug deep into his personal archive and excavated tons of rare photos, obscure logo designs, and flyers as well as telling the history of MORBID SAINT in a detailed interview.
Whereas the "Spectrum of Death" album was specially mastered for vinyl, and hardly touched to preserve its original sound, all other tracks have been carefully restored and remastered by Patrick W. Engel / Temple Of Disharmony (Iced Earth, Grave, Massacra) to ensure most pleasant aural terror!
The following formats are available:
SOLD OUT - Gatefold transp. red LP & LP-Booklet - limited to 100 copies (CM Distro EU exclusive)
- Gatefold black LP & LP-Booklet plus "Lock Up Your Children" tape replica bundle (CM Distro EU & US exclusive)
- Gatefold light blue LP & LP-Booklet - limited to 200 copies (CM Distro US exclusive)
- Gatefold lilac LP & LP-Booklet - limited to 500 copies (distributed via RED & CM Distro US)
- Gatefold clear LP & LP-Booklet - limited to 200 copies (High Roller Records exclusive, hrrshop.de )
- Gatefold black LP & LP-Booklet
- Ltd. Edition 2CD Digipak incl 32-page booklet
- "Lock Up Your Children" tape replica - limited to 666 copies (Home Taping Cruelties release, available via hrrshop.de )

Digital formats are available here:

Painted Wives: : launch lyric video for "Hollow Bones"; "Obsessed With The End" to be released on April 29th
PAINTED WIVES launched a new lyric video for the track "Hollow Bones," taken from their debut album, "Obsessed With The End", which will be released on April 29th, 2016 via Century Media Records!
The "Hollow Bones" lyric video can be viewed now at the link below.
youtube.com
PAINTED WIVES are a perfect enigma of a band. Their Century Media debut, "Obsessed With The End" is at once dark, inscrutable and simultaneously spirit elevating. These Huntington Beach, CA based doomsayers cast aural allusions from a grotto where Mastodon, Cave In and Alice In Chains cavort and coalesce while orchestrating nightmares in sound as provocative as they come. This album is a re-release of the band's self-financed debut offering, which has been remixed and remastered by the world renowned producer, Machine (Lamb of God, Clutch).
Helmed by guitarist Justin Suitor (with their line-up rounded out by drummer Derek Eglit, bassist Justin Morales and guitarist Jeff Lyman with collaborator, conspirator and outside lyricist Ryan Williams taking an unconventional, but official role in the band), PAINTED WIVES rose from the ashes of celebrated Orange County ensemble, Railroad To Alaska, to fill a void in the local heavy music scene.

Moonsorrow: : launch video for new song "Suden Tunti"!
Today, Finnish pagan metal act MOONSORROW launched an epic video for their brand-new track "Suden Tunti" (The Hour Of The Wolf), which is taken off their upcoming new album "Jumalten Aika".
"This is the shortest song we've done in more than ten years!" comments Ville Sorvali. "It has all the elements that make it a Moonsorrow track but it's still something we hadn't done before. This is the dark side of folk metal - the epic battle of Fenris and Odin from a new perspective."
"This is the day we never thought would come. We never thought we would release an official Moonsorrow music video," adds Mitja Harvilahti. "Writing music without compromises is hard enough. Making a video that catches the same spirit without compromises and awkward moments that takes away the credibility is even harder! We had a thought for some time that only an animated video with enough artistic flavour would work. Since Suden Tunti is somewhat based on actual myths it was possible to create the world where the script takes place!"
You can watch the video for "Suden Tunti" here: youtube.com
MOONSORROW's seventh studio album "Jumalten Aika" - which means 'The Age Of Gods' in English - will be released on April 1st, 2016 via Century Media Records.

Hexvessel: : tour across Europe now, new video launched today, new digital single announced
Finland's psychedelic folk rock shooting stars HEXVESSEL are on tour across Europe with New Keepers Of The Water Towers. Make sure not to miss this killer package!!!
HEXVESSEL have also done a video for the song "When I'm Dead", taken from their highly praised third studio album "When We Are Death", released on Century Media in January. Check out the video here: visions.de
Singer Mat McNerney comments on the new video and the tour:
"Nature prevails. We never die, we just change our form. We're billion year old carbon on a journey through space on an ancient rock. As we leave our beloved Finland, heading out into Europe on tour, this video represents our view of the universe and our strong connection to the cycle of life and death. It's an existential question that only the forest can answer. You must go on a journey into space to know this. Where will you be when I am dead?"
On Friday 25th a new online single of the video track will be released, containing the track "Shaman You", taken from the limited US edition of the album.
