Richard Cabeza finds the following words what to expect about their new studio effort: "The wait is over, once again the funeral trumpets sing the pestilence of lucifer! We are very excited to release our 4th full length album and open the gates to a new chapter and march further into the abyss. We really went deep within ourself to release the pure essence of the band. The unity of band is stronger than ever and I think this shows on this album. I feel this is the strongest, most honest, genuine and direct album we done. It's written in blood, carved in stone, our victory in blood!"

As the official kick off for their upcoming studio album, that is planned for a release in the 1st half of 2022, transatlantic progressive metal outfit MONUMENTS are happy to present their new single, "Lavos" feat. Mick Gordon. Check out the official Video HERE: https://youtu.be/RMVn5kGHj5k The band comments: "Planet Earth, we're happy to grace you with the first single from M4, 'Lavos' feat. Mick Gordon. The artwork depicts a mass of metaphors. The Stonehenge Chronograph - acts as a time portal between the world of man and the unseen other side. Within the portal is an angry raging pangolin; a cage traded animal, barely kept alive. Within its grasp - the power of time. The pangolin is a true representation of how the beauty of nature has been abused by our species. That time is running out. One day - nature will fight back. Death towers overhead. All that was holy has now been made wretched."

For the iconic cover of their upcoming album, "Erebos", UK's VENOM PRISON have teamed up with renowned artist Eliran Kantor again. "Erebos" will be out worldwide on February 4th, 2022. The band comments: "Being able to work with our dear friend Eliran on another piece of art for VENOM PRISON has been exciting as always. Kantor knows the band perfectly well to capture our music and poetry into a visual masterpiece every single time. 'Erebos' was a personal one for both Eliran Kantor and ourselves. This artwork captures the moment a young person dies inside as they are surrounded by horror. In the moment their innocence is lost and desensitisation will from now on fuel the repetition of the cycle of violence in their life. This is 'Erebos' the one born from chaos." A new song will be released soon. VENOM PRISON has carved an uncompromising space for themselves over the course of two full-length albums, "Animus" (2016) and "Samsara" (2019) with 2020's "Primeval" reinvigorating the band's earlier EPs with two newly written tracks added. What began as an explosive collaboration between Russian-born vocalist Larissa Stupar and guitarist Ash Gray (with the lineup rounded out by guitarist Ben Thomas, bassist Mike Jefferies and drummer Joe Bills) has exploded into a force to be reckoned with as vitriolic and outspoken lyrically as they are musically.

The Lurking Fear, the old-school Death Metal group from Sweden featuring members of At The Gates, Disfear, God Macabre, Skitsystem, Tormented and The Haunted in their illustrious line-up, are soon to release their anxiously awaited sophomore album "Death, Madness, Horror, Decay" on November 19th, 2021 via Century Media Records worldwide. Consequently, The Lurking Fear are launching a second single off the upcoming album today. Check out the rabid and ripping 1:11-minute track "Death Reborn" in a video by Max Ljungberg here: https://youtu.be/3Ssg2DGZG0E The Lurking Fear vocalist Tomas Lindberg Redant commented about the track as follows: " 'Death Reborn' was one of the last tracks to be finished for the album. A pure old school death metal storm, that main riff just blew me away when I heard it, and I knew we had to make space for it on the A-side of the album straight away. The lyrics were quite instant as well, as the track had a certain attitude that needed to be conveyed in the lyrics as well. Still drawing main influence from the Lovecraft universe, but with an added extra aggressive twist. And, I know it is short...approx. one minute, but if you have three great riffs like these, why make it complicated?" The Lurking Fear previously launched the single "Cosmic Macabre", which can still be checked out here: https://youtu.be/yp5FlevsnWU "Death, Madness, Horror, Decay" follows up The Lurking Fear's acclaimed debut album "Out Of The Voiceless Grave" (2017) and was recorded at Welfare Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden with Per Stålberg and Kalle Lilja. The album features epic artwork (To be seen above!) once again conceived by Stefan Thanneur, who already worked on The Lurking Fear's debut album, and also includes a special guest appearance by Chris Reifert (Autopsy, ex Death) on vocals for the track "Kaleidoscopic Mutations". Here is the album's tracklisting: The Lurking Fear - "Death, Madness, Horror, Decay": 1. Abyssal Slime 2. Death Reborn 3. Cosmic Macabre 4. Funeral Abyss 5. Death, Madness, Horror, Decay 6. Architects Of Madness 7. In A Thousand Horrors Crowned 8. Kaleidoscopic Mutations 9. Ageless Evil 10. One In Flesh 11. Restless Death 12.Leech Of The Aeons The album's limited first-pressing Digipak CD edition will come two very special cover versions as bonus tracks: "The Curse", originally by Slaughter and "Seance", originally by Possessed. "Death, Madness, Horror, Decay" will of course also be available as LP on 180g black vinyl with a poster.

LA alternative metal band GEMINI SYNDROME just released their highly anticipated new studio album "3rd Degree - The Raising". Special album configurations along with special merchandise are available via the band's official website: www.GeminiSyndrome.com In celebration of the album's release, a brand new video and single "Absolution" were released. Click here for "Absolution": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNP_6kF2JpA The album release also comes mere weeks before the band heads out on their "Initiation" US Tour. "3rd Degree - The Raising" is the long awaited, mind bending final chapter of GEMINI SYNDROME's debut trilogy of albums; the first being 2013's "Lux", and the second being 2016's "Memento Mori" (which hit #1 on US Billboard Heatseakers Album Chart and spawned five singles). Wherein "Lux", meaning "Light", was concerned with birth; and "Memento Mori", meaning "Remember That We Must Die", dealt with the finite nature of life, "3rd Degree - The Raising" celebrates the extreme rituals of rebirth. Produced by Matt Good (Asking Alexandria, Memphis May Fire, Hollywood Undead) and featuring the singles "Die With Me", "IDK", "Abandoned", "Broken Reflection", "Absolution", and "Reintegration"; "3rd Degree - The Raising" is undeniably the heaviest, and darkest album of the band's career. "The album is about death and rebirth. Finding your true self and fostering its growth so as to help build the world better than we inherited it." says GEMINI SYNDROME vocalist Aaron Nordstrom. "In the process of this record I made some major life choices. Mainly to stop killing myself slowly with alcohol. Two years without a drink, and a couple near death experiences later, I think I have ample experience to talk about a subject as elusive as death." Drummer Brian Steele Medina adds, "The twist to the 3rd and "final" degree, is that it's not the end at all. Rather, it's a rebirth contingent upon our growth and lessons learned from the suffering of our past mistakes. A spiritual growth that can only be attained through baptism by fire. A metaphorical, yet very real resurrection - THE RAISING." Nordstrom continues, "Our hope is that through sharing our experiences, lessons learned, and battles overcome, that we can help others to examine their own consciousness. Their role in the world in its almost infinite capacity, and to help remind each other that we are ALL in this together. We are a family, and when we are United in our commonality, we can achieve things worthy of the attention of the GODS. If you want to change the world, quietly go to work on yourself." When asked about the process of initiation, and how it relates to GEMINI SYNDROME's music, band drummer Medina reveals: "There's something deeper under the surface of our music, and it' s designed to allow the listener to resonate and wake up to their potential. See, when an initiation is done properly, who the person was before, and who they are after the initiation, are two different people. Essentially being Raised to a higher degree of consciousness. So when you listen and actually attend to our music, and understand the intention, the same principle applies. Who the listener was before they hear the album, and who they are after, are different. They become a changed person. They've transmuted to a new state of being, and the lyrics that they carry with them after the fact become a mantra, which allows them to sustain that new state of being. Looking back, I recognize that music has always sustained me. It' s been a constant and transformative alchemical force, and it continues to save my life, even today." Vocalist Nordstrom explains how the incorporation of symbols further illuminate an additional layer of insight: "I see the use of symbolism as a way to make people think in ways they are not accustomed to or even aware of. Symbols communicate to our subconscious and collective unconscious minds, and can invoke changes in our thoughts not only in a conscious fashion, but also on a subtler, deeper level. This album is more than a collection of songs, it' s a representation of our final initiation. First, birth by the Waters of the One Current; next, life by the Breath of Our Collective Soul; and finally, resurrection through Baptism by Fire. This trilogy is a testimony and a first hand account of the twists and turns of Chapel Perilous, thus it's proof that it's possible to find our way Home - no matter how lost we might find ourselves." GEMINI SYNDROME spent the better part of 2018-2019 writing "3rd Degree - The Raising", the final installment of their long planned three album trilogy. They retreated to drummer Brian Steele Medina's Las Vegas home studio, where they meticulously crafted song after song, relentlessly reworking and rearranging the musical arrangements until they were fully satisfied. After an exhaustive writing process, GEMINI SYNDROME relocated to Good Sounds Studio in Tempe AZ, where producer Matt Good would help realize the collection of songs. Medina recalls, "We absolutely loved working with Matt and he completely understood where we wanted to take this album creatively and what it was going to take to bring the third chapter of this trilogy to light. Our actual collective blood, sweat and tears went into its creation." "It was a long, treacherous road to get here." continues Nordstrom. "First working out an insane amount of songs before arriving in Arizona to record with Matt Good, and then writing a slew more while in the actual recording process, we approached this album with high intentions to evolve musically and internally as people. But then, once we had finally finished everything, and were ready to start releasing new music... everything was put on hold due to the global pandemic." Medina adds, "These past few years have definitely been an exercise in patience and acceptance. We had everything mixed and mastered and ready to go in early 2020 before everything shut down. We're just stoked to FINALLY put this album out and get this post plague show on the road." 3rd Degree - The Raising is the first album to feature guitarist "Meegs" Rascón (formerly of Coal Chamber). On the brand new single "Absolution", Nordstrom says, "Absolution is the formal release from punishment, obligation, or guilt. This song is a reminder that the present moment matters more than all others because it is shaped by what we have done and shapes what will be because of the decisions and actions we make now. On a cosmic level, we're saying, "Act right. Otherwise there won't be another opportunity to act at all."" To date, six singles have been released from "3rd Degree - The Raising": "Abandoned", "Reintegration", "IDK", "Broken Reflection", "Absolution" and the Active Rock Radio hit "Die With Me"" Currently five of the six singles - including the newly released "Absolution" feature visually stunning videos created by director Brian Cox (Bring Me The Horizon, The Struts, Starset). GEMINI SYNDROME is Aaron Nordstrom (vocals, keyboards), Brian Steele Medina (drums, programming), Alessandro "AP" Paveri (bass), and Meegs Rascón (guitar).

Today (October 21st), metal legends Arch Enemy will launch a stunning video for a new standalone single, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen: "Deceiver, Deceiver" - the band's first original release since 2017's acclaimed Will To Power ! Directed by Patric Ullaeus, the video premiere for "Deceiver, Deceiver" is set for 9AM PT//12PM ET//6PM CET today and can be streamed HERE. The new track is now available worldwide and can be checked out via this LINK. Arch Enemy's founder and chief songwriter Michael Amott comments: "Wait...what? Has it really been four years since we last released new Arch Enemy music? Time flies...especially when you tour the world for a couple of years, decide to take some time off...and then we all get hit with a global fckn pandemic! Everyone's been through hard times these last couple of years, and it's beautiful to see everything coming back now. This very much feels like the right moment to return with a brand new song, 'Deceiver, Deceiver'! Not the happiest of tunes, but believe me - we're ecstatic to be back!" Time passes, the world changes, but some things remain constant and unassailable. Heavy metal has endured for more than four decades because its spirit is eternal, and few bands embody the intensity, integrity and lofty artistic ambitions of the genre with more dazzling aplomb than Arch Enemy . In 2021, the quintet returns with "Deceiver, Deceiver" - a standalone single that proves once again that Arch Enemy are torchbearers, upholding and celebrating the heavy metal code.

With "Artifacts Of The Black Rain", German Death Metallers DESERTED FEAR launch a next new digital single after the recent release of "Funeral Of The Earth". Originally written and released by Swedish melodic death metal pioneers In Flames on their 1996's album "The Jester Race", the track "Artifacts Of The Black Rain" was now covered by DESERTED FEAR and was also featured as B-Side on the band's exclusive, limited (500x copies) 7inch, which was recorded, mixed and mastered by DESERTED FEAR's own Fabian Hildebrandt at Eisensound Studio.

And in the studio we also didn't cover a song in a long time!", Fabian states. Further Mahne comments, "We chose an old In Flames song, because not only for us, but also for many other bands our age, the early In Flames albums were very influential and we learned a lot from them, especially on the guitar!" DESERTED FEAR's version of "Artifacts Of The Black Rain" is available on all digital platforms as of today.
