Cryptoriana - The Seductiveness of Decay is the title of Cradle of Filth’s
12th studio album scheduled for release this coming September.
As per the norm, a concept album themed on Victorian
gothic horror with a smidgen of the supernatural centred around
self-annihilation.
Sounds like a riveting read from a penny
dreadful.

The melancholy death/doom masters ‘Swallow The Sun’ will bring
us a bold, adventurous and characteristically dark triple full-length album
entitled "Songs from the North” due out 13th November 2015 via Century Media
Records.
Incorporating dark menace and gradations of death, black and
funeral doom, each of the three albums of embodies the band's unofficial band
motto, "Gloom, Beauty & Despair."
Main songwriter and guitarist Juha Raivio comments on the
triple album concept:
"Making a triple album in this godforsaken digital and modern
day and age... Many will say it's madness. I say it is to bring worth, heart
and respect back into the music and to the album format where it belongs. This
should never turn into a shallow fast food industry where music is only
downloaded one song at a time. These albums hold life, death, gloom, beauty
and despair in their deepest levels and forms. The three chapters are
different but connected, one long journey through these songs written up here
in the North. Music is holy, albums are holy. See you on the other side
friends."

Tears

Nuendo tells us:
TORONTO - Hamilton, Ontario-based progressive metal band, VARGA, has just unleashed their 3rd full-length studio recording, 'Enter the Metal,' via the band's own label, Vargantuan Music. Currently available digitally on iTunes and Amazon.com, there are several formats of hi-resolution downloads available for purchase from the band's own vargahq[dot]com website. CD’s will begin shipping and in stores November 14th, but can be pre ordered from vargahq[dot]com until then.
Comprised of members Joe Varga (bass & vocals), Adam Alex (guitar), Sean Williamson (guitar), and Dan Fila (drums), the veteran band (originally formed in 1989) has built a large and loyal following of heavy metal fans, particular in their home country, on the strength of such popular releases as 1994's 'Prototype' (released via the Zoo label), which spawned the hits "Freeze Don't Move" and "Greed," earning the band a thumbs up on the then-popular 'Beavis and Butthead' program on MTV. After over a decade apart, Varga reunited in 2011, and issued their awesome reunion effort, 'Enter the Metal' (their first new studio album in 17 years). The album was produced by long time friend and producer/engineer, Julius “Juice” Butty (Alexisonfire, Protest the Hero), and recorded at both Six Nations’ Jukasa Studio, and Butty’s own Silo Studios. As the band's leader, Joe Varga, states, “In this collection of music, you’ll hear a return to our metal and progressive roots with songs laden with heavy licks, crazy time changes and insane vocals.”
As heard throughout 'Enter the Metal,' the long delay between releases has not dulled Varga's penchant for penning inspired and challenging heavy metal in the slightest. Welcome back, lads! TRACK LIST
1) Beginning Of The End (6:19) 2) Gamera (7:52) 3) Mad Scientist (5:37) 4) Plane Crash (8:01) 5) No More Clean Air (4:59) 6) Shark Attack (6:59) |

Cathedral will release their last ever album on 29th April, The Last Spire, via Rise Above Records. The track listing is:
Entrance To Hell Pallbearer Cathedral Of The Damned Tower Of Silence Infestation Of Grey Death An Observation The Last Laugh This Body, Thy Tomb
The official press release reads as follows: "And lo, Lee Dorrian, mouthpiece of Cathedral for 23 years, doth solemnly intone the death rites of this mighty British metal Titan. Born in the dying days of Thatcher's Britain, bonding over then-unfashionable, obscure names like Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Trouble and Dream Death.
Cathedral's sole ambition was to record a demo tape. In fact they revolutionised doom metal, first pushing their influences into new avenues of grinding extremity, then pioneering groovier forms of '70s-indebted stoner doom."

Swedish-based crew The Forsaken are preparing to drop their fourth full-length assault Beyond Redemption.
Beyond Redemption surges with forty minutes of the band's modern black/thrash-infused death metal culminating here into some of the most devastating sequences from The Forsaken to date. The album was recorded by the band themselves, and the final product mixed and mastered at the renowned Fascination Street Studios (Bloodbath, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Soilwork).
The Forsaken formed in 1997, initially under the moniker of Septic Breed. Following several demos, lineup changes and the name change, the band signed with Century Media for the release of their 2001 debut album Manifest Of Hate, their 2002 follow-up Arts Of Desolation and 2003's Traces Of The Past. The band parted ways with the label in 2009, and following another personnel shift, began the construction of their now pending fourth album Beyond Redemption, through new label home Masssacre Records.
Beyond Redemption Track Listing:
1. Beyond Redemption 2. Only Hell Remains 3. Foul Messianic Grace 4. No Dawn Awaits 5. There Is No God 6. As We Burn 7. Reap As We Have Sown 8. The Light Divine 9. Force Fed Repentance
10. Blessed With Wrath

Neurosis Eleventh Album on the Way |
|
|
|
It is said that great art has the power to take us outside of ourselves and bring us closer to ourselves simultaneously. Few bands have accomplished this rare feat on a more profound and consistent basis than Neurosis. For nearly three decades, their music has touched the hearts and minds of young men and women seeking contact with something beyond the physical world, something intangible, something that expresses the inner tumult of the human condition in a way that transcends time and space. Something that not only provokes questions but maybe even hints at answers.
Since 1985 this matchless force has surpassed the boundaries of any genre, never ceasing to mutate and progress their song writing and sonic delivery, and never failing to mesmerize audiences both in the studio and onstage. And as the anticipation from their diehard fan base reaches a boiling point, this week Neurosis unveil the title of their eleventh full-length studio creation, which will manifest itself as Honour Found In Decay.
The follow-up to their acclaimed 2007-released Given To The Rising album, the music on Honour Found In Decay is both torturous and transcendent. It is the ongoing exposition of a vast internal dialogue that seems to carry the weight of eons. With the right kind of ears and eyes, it can seem like the trials and tribulations of mankind are being channelled through five individuals: Steve Von Till, Scott Kelly, Noah Landis, Jason Roeder and Dave Edwardson. And yet? They will be the first ones to tell you that they are just regular people trying to make sense of the world around them. Aided by Josh Graham, their resident visual guru, they transmit their interpretations through multiple sensory planes. The degree to which Neurosis allows them to step out of their everyday lives is the distance between one and zero, the distance between thinking and doing, the distance between this minute and the one that may or may not follow. Which is to say: Neurosis takes them outside of themselves and brings them closer to themselves.
