DARK METALLERS AETERNUS STREAM SECOND TRACK FROM LATEST ALBUM

Posted: October 23, 2013 in AETERNUS, DARK ESSENCE RECORDS

Aeternus by Monika Serafinska

With their latest album “…And The Seventh His Soul Detesteth” receiving high praise from reviewers, Norwegian Dark Metallers AETERNUS are streaming a second track from what is their seventh full-length album on their SoundCloud page. The track “Spurcitias” can be heard on the player above and at http://soundcloud.com/aeternusnorway/aeternus-spurcitias

“…And The Seventh His Soul Detesteth” was released earlier this year on Dark Essence Records, and was produced by Bjornar E. Nilsen (VULTURE INDUSTRIES, BLACK HOLE GENERATOR) at the Conclave and Earshot studios in Bergen. All music for the album is by AETERNUS, whilst the concept and lyrics are by the band’s former bassist V’gandr (TAAKE, HELHEIM). Artwork for the ten-track album is by Timo Ketola, known for his work with bands such as for DEATHSPELL OMEGA, ASPHYX, DISSECTION MARDUK, WATAIN and OPETH amongst others. The first pressing includes AETERNUS’ 1995 “Dark Sorcery” EP as a bonus and is available directly from the label at http://karismarecords.bigcartel.com/artist/aeternus.

AETERNUS was one of the original pioneers of what these days is called Dark Metal, and which, in AETERNUS’s case, combines features from both Black and Death Metal, together with occasional melodic interludes and superlative guitar playing. The band’s current line up includes guitarist and frontman Ares, who originally founded the band in 1993, Specter (ex-GRAVDAL) on guitars, Eld (KRAKOW) on bass and Phobos (GRAVDAL, MALSAIN) on drums. More information about AETNERNUS can be found on the band’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/Aeternusofficial

VULTURE INDUSTRIES VIDEO TO FEATURE IN FILM FESTIVAL

“Lost Among Liars”, the video for a track from “The Tower, the new album from Norwegian Avant-garde Metallers VULTURE INDUSTRIES, will be featured at this year’s Kort and Kortkino Film Festival, which specialises in short films and which will take place from the 14^th to the 17^th November in Sandnes, Norway. The theme of the Festival for this year is “Sound”, and “Lost Among Liars” will be included in the programme on Thursday the 14^th, along with a video from fellow Norwegian’s KVELERTAK. More information about the Kort and Kortkino Film Festival can be found at http://www.kortkino.no/kinokino/public/openIndex?ARTICLE_ID=5050

Romanian multi-media artist COSTIN CHIOREANU is the man behind the video, which is an animated surreal visual critique of today’s society that takes us on a journey through a surreal cityscape populated by people and machines, each with their own different duties and functions. From the vagrant loser, to the dutiful cog in the wheel of industry, to the facade of family life, to the mask salesman, all of them leading us through a story of oppression, elevation of control, and freedom. Educated at the Bucharest National University of Arts, CHIOREANU has made his mark as a stage artist, musician, animator and movie maker, who, despite his relatively young age, has created the cover art for musicians such as ULVER, ISHAHN, ARCTURUS, AURA NOIR and DARKTHRONE, as well as VULTURE INDUSTRIES themselves. He is the official artist for the Roadburn Festival 2014, and has been the driving force behind book and album launches. More information about COSTIN CHIOREANU can be found at http://twilight13media.com/

VULTURE INDUSTRIES recently joined forces with The THE HAPPY GORILLA DANCE company to perform ”Turning Golem” a show that is part concert rooted in the heavier segment of experimental/progressive metal and part theatre performance. The only remaining chance to see “Turning Golem” outside of Norway this year will be on the 26^th October at the Phantoms of Pilsen Festival in the Czech Republic. Those living in Norway however, will not only be able to witness “Turning Golem” at the Garage in Bergen on the 25^th October, but also an exhibition of some of COSTIN CHIOREANU’s artwork for “The Tower”. A promo video for the event can be seen below and at http://youtu.be/vaB1s9YjR6E

VULTURE INDUSTRIES will upload five of the pieces of artwork that will be shown at the exhibition onto their Facebook page, one each day leading up to the event. They can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/vultureindustries

The “Lost Among Liars” video from the VULTURE INDUSTRIES album “The Tower” can be seen below and at http://youtu.be/Q2mYnayKNd8

“When You Go Beyond I Will Become A Memory”, one of the pieces by COSTIN CHIOREANU which will be featured at the exhibition in Bergen can be seen below.

EXTREME METALLERS BLUTMOND ANNOUNCE NEW MEMBERS. WORK BEGINS ON FOURTH FULL-LENGTH ALBUM

Posted: October 16, 2013 in BLUTMOND, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES

Long-time fans of BLUTMOND may have been surprised by the lineup that took to the stage recently at the HarVest Festival in Switzerland when two new members – Simon on guitar and Fabio on drums and samples, joined vocalist and guitarist John, vocalist and bassist Jerry, and saxophonist and guitarist Marc on stage. It was, according to John, who is one of the original founders of the band, something of a final audition for the two musicians, albeit one that was pretty much a foregone conclusion as both had already proved to everyone’s satisfaction that they fitted in perfectly with the rest of BLUTMOND in terms of both musicianship and commitment.

Since its formation in 2004 BLUTMOND has never been a band that has been happy to limit itself to a formulaic nod in the direction of a particular genre. Starting out as a Black Metal band and releasing their first full length album “Endzeit” in 2006, BLUTMOND quickly developed a reputation for their insane and provocative live shows, which, whilst raising their profile throughout Europe, also led them to realise that the time had come to create something that was more emotional and honest.

As is often the case when bands choose a different direction, not every member was on board with the idea, which resulted in a few lineup changes, and the recruitment of a new guitarist and saxophonist. With Code666/Aural Music picking up their sophomore full-length album, “Thirteen Urban Ways 4 Groovy Bohemian Days” appeared in 2010, followed at the end of 2012 by “The Revolution is Dead!”, once again on Code666. These two albums demonstrated that BLUTMOND was obviously forging ahead down a more avant-garde path, but one that definitely had a distinctive edge to it.

Now that 2013 is drawing to a close, John has begun writing new material for the band’s fourth full-length album. “I’ve built myself a small studio in my apartment which makes it much easier for me to work on the music as I can have access whenever I want. It’s early days yet, and we’re not ready to reveal too much about the direction we’re taking, but I don’t think anyone is going to be disappointed”.

BLUTMOND’s next live appearance will be at the Headbangers Ball at Grafitti in Bern, Switzerland, on the 9^th of November. More information about BLUTMOND can be found on the band’s facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/blutmond.official

The release of the debut full-length album “Cynisist” in 2009 and the “Sickening” EP in 2010 earned the band critical acclaim from both fans and press.

DANISH BLACK METALLERS BLODARV TO RELEASE SPECIAL EDITION VINYL AND CEREMONIAL BOX SET

Posted: September 29, 2013 in BLODARV, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES

With founder and frontman Hugin due to celebrate 20 years in the Black Metal Underground next year, Danish Black Metallers BLODARV are currently in the studio recording material for “Flamekeeper”, which is set to appear in the spring of 2014 in 7” vinyl format. This will be the first vinyl release from the band in ten years, and will come in two different versions, including a special Ceremonial Box set whose contents include some unique items handcrafted by Hugin himself during a specially held ceremony on the Island of Bornholm. The “Flamekeeper” 7” regular EP will be limited to 500 copies, and includes a lyric sheet. The “Flamekeeper Ceremonial Box” edition is strictly limited to only 50 units and given the very limited nature is already available to pre-order at www.blodarvshop.bigcartel.com

Included in the “Flamekeeper Ceremonial Box” are the following:
Flamekeeper 7″EP in black vinyl with cover
An EP box with a special BLODARV cover design for storing all the objects included
23cm embroidered Back Patch
9 x 9 cm sticker
Photo sheet
Lyric sheet
Necklace crafted by Hugin out of goat bones from the island of Bornholm and hand numbered on the back
Black candle from the ceremony that was held during the crafting of the necklaces
Black jewellery bag for the necklace
Two-sided print guitar pick with “Flamekeeper” on one side and the BLODARV Logo on the reverse

Commenting on “Flamekeeper” and his reason for handcrafting some of the contents of the Ceremonial Box, Hugin had this to say: “The new tracks on “Flamekeeper” are a salute to the power of the ancient flame – the fire that feeds us and the fire that eats us. It is about putting demons into art, protecting the old, and once again leading the listener into the dark demon-filled universe of BLODARV. But above all it is about creating great Black Metal and at the same time not just giving the fans music, but also giving them something unique and personal, much in the same way as it used to be in the early years of the Black Metal Underground. We have a strong connection to our fans and followers, that’s why I crafted fifty amulets out of the goat bones during a ceremony instead of one, and why I chose to put one in each of the limited box sets for the most diehard fans”. A teaser video of Hugin carving the necklaces can be seen below and at http://youtu.be/z1cp76HqNcY

As well as “Flamekeeper”, 2014 will all so see BLODARV releasing a new full-length album, the first to feature the band’s new drummer Fjorgynn. More information about BLODARV can be found on the band’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/blodarvofficial

DARK ESSENCE RECORDS DEBUTS TRACK FROM UPCOMING SLEGEST ALBUM

Posted: September 25, 2013 in DARK ESSENCE RECORDS, OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES

With a release date for SLEGEST’s debut full-length album “Løyndom” set for the 7^th October, Dark Essence Records has today previewed a track from what will be the debut album from former VREID guitarist Ese. “Ho Som Haustar Aleine” is the opening track from “Løyndom” and can be heard below and at http://soundcloud.com/dark-essence-records/slegest-ho-som-haustar-aleine

Recorded partly in Ese’s own Systrond Studio and partly at the Conclave and Earshot Studio with producer Bjørnar E. Nilsen, and mastered by ENSLAVED’s Herbrand Larsen, “Løyndom” (Secret), is a mix of classic heavy rock and old school black metal that has an distinctly down and dirty, and addictively catchy, groove running through it. Track listing for “Løyndom” as follows:

1. Ho Som Haustar Aleine
2. Rooted In Knowledge
3. I Slike Stunder
4. Løgna Sin Fiende
5. The Path Of No Return
6. Faceless Queen
7. Dirt Life Death
8. Past Burden Strength

When Ese formed SLEGEST in 2010 following his departure from VREID, where he played on four albums, his original intention was that it should be a solo project, and, indeed, apart from a guest solo by former VREID band-mate Sture, Ese plays all the instruments himself on “Løyndom”. However, it soon became clear to everyone who heard the album that SLEGEST was a live band waiting to happen, and a live line-up has now been put together, which, apart from Ese on Vocals and Rhythm Guitars, consists of Sør (BÄÄÄV, VONBRÅTEN) on Lead Guitars, Hövard (BOMBEKLÜCHTER) on Bass and Fjøsne on Drums.

SLEGEST is also busy putting the finishing touches to a music video for “Ho Som Haustar Aleine”. Produced by Håvard Nesbø and Ørjan Talle, the video will premiere before the release of “Løyndom”.

The avant-garde metallers recently debuted a video by the Romanian artist Costin Chioreanu for a track from “The Tower”. “Lost Among Liars” is an animated surreal visual critique of today’s society symbolised by a journey through a surreal cityscape populated by people and machines, each with their own different duties and functions. From the vagrant loser to the dutiful cog in the wheel of industry, to the facade of family life to the mask salesman, they are all here. Each of them tells a story of oppression, restitution, control and freedom. The video can be seen below and at http://youtu.be/4pw6EmsehGM

Currently in the middle of a European tour alongside fellow Norwegian’s LEPROUS, VULTURE INDUSTRIES have recently been expanding the visual aspect of their stage shows by performing alongside the HAPPY GORILLA DANCE COMPANY in “TURNING GOLEM” a project that is part concert rooted in the heavier segment of experimental/progressive metal and part theatre performance. Two more shows of TURNING GOLEM are schedule this year – 25 October at the Garage in Bergen, Norway and the 26 October and at the Phantoms Of Pilsen in Pilsen, Czech Republic.
