VESTIGE Sign with Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome VESTIGE!


Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Paris in late 2022, Vestige, led by composer Théodore Rondeau, is quickly shaping up as a force to be reckoned with in the modern metal landscape. The band's unique blend of shoegaze tones, ambient melodies, and intense, tormented passages caught Season of Mist's attention and captivated our hearts from the very first listen.

Vestige's lineup, consisting of Pierre-André Krauzer (bass), Quentin Regnault (drums), Théodore Rondeau (guitar/ vocals), came together organically during their time in Naraka, with Thomas Petit (guitar) joining them later. This collaboration has resulted in a sonic identity that is both powerful and distinctive.

"We're beyond thrilled to announce our signing with Season of Mist for the first album of Vestige. We cannot wait to show you all what we've been working on with this legendary label this year. Big thanks once again to Michael and Season of Mist for this opportunity. 🏛”

Stay tuned for Janis – an album that elevates modern metal music to new heights.

We invite you to join us on this thrilling adventure as we welcome Vestige to the Season of Mist family!

Théodore Rondeau, the creative initiator behind VESTIGE, embarked on a journey of forming the band during a turbulent phase in his life. Emerging as a creative vessel for a complicated emotional journey, the band transcends the boundaries of individual therapy into a collaborative force that hopefully resonates with the feelings that are all too common for so many.

With a profound connection to their craft, Vestige pour their souls into their debut album, infusing it with a captivating blend of melancholy, desperation, and catharsis. The music serves not only as an expression of their turmoil, but as a conduit for listeners to navigate the complexities of their own emotions. Through this process, Vestige becomes a project with the potential to connect with people on a profound level, forging a collective experience through the universal language of music.

 

The formation of Vestige’s lineup reads like a musical destiny unfolding: Pierre-André Krauzer on the bass, Quentin Regnault on drums, and Théodore on vocals and guitar. They first crossed paths during their tenure in Naraka, a band that shared stages with icons like Cradle of Filth and Alcest. This initial connection laid the groundwork for the formation of the band. Not long after, the addition of Thomas Petit on the second guitar solidified the lineup, bringing a sense of completeness to the ensemble. The band’s sonic identity now established; Vestige is ready to share this experience with the world.


The signing with Season of Mist brings the band’s first milestone, allowing Vestige to share their journey in the form of their debut album, Janis. Poised for release in late 2024, the album is a culmination of their collective efforts and a statement of the band’s arrival in the heavy music scene. Weaving through atmospheric shoegaze textures, melodic landscapes and intense, tormented moments that reflects the emotional spectrum of the human experience, the band are establishing a foothold into the genre of modern metal.


Beyond the studio, Vestige is gearing up for a series of live performance in 2024, setting the stage for an introspective musical experience that brings raw and authentic energy.

Myrath Share New Single "Let It Go"

NEW ALBUM KARMA OUT MARCH 8

Renowned for their transcendent fusion of progressive metal and world music, Myrath take center stage once again with their latest single, "Let It Go." Listen to here.

The Tunisian powerhouse band invites listeners on a mesmerizing journey through soundscapes that seamlessly blend cultural influences with raw, emotive energy.

"Let It Go" is a soul-stirring anthem, charged with profound reflections on the human experience. With evocative lyrics, the song addresses the inevitability of time's passage, acknowledging life's unfair twist and turns. Myrath encourage listeners to release the weight of unfulfilled dreams and hopes, emphasizing the transformative power of letting go. Amidst the struggles portrayed, the chorus emerges as a rallying cry, urging individuals not to doubt their faith and to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Myrath's ability to weave intricate musical arrangements with profound lyrical themes solidifies their status as an international music force, captivating audiences worldwide. 

"Myrath from Tunisia might just be the most underrated band ever. Their new album really excites me – they have something fresh and back it up with a great stage show. They played a tiny stage at Wacken where nobody brings more than guitars and amps and brought a two-truck production. It was amazing!" — Pär Sundström, Sabaton

As the sands of time continued to shape their journey, Myrath's relentless dedication led to the creation of their forthcoming album Karma, slated for release on March 8 via earMUSIC as limited transparent red LP, black LP, and Digipak. The forthcoming opus promises to be a testament to their evolution, delivering a sonic tapestry woven from passion and innovation.

With its stunning production and lush soundscapes, this album is sure to be a classic for years to come.

Borknagar Announce New Album "Fall" + Share Visualizer For "Summits"

Norway's pioneers of avant-garde and progressive Black Metal BORKNAGARare proud to announce their upcoming monumental twelfth studio album entitled Fall, which will be released worldwide on February 23 via longtime record label partners Century Media Records. Pre-order it here.

Today, the album's first single and opening track "Summits" is being launched. Listen and check out the visualizer clip, created by Wanderley Perna/W Designer, below.

Fall includes eight majestic tracks across 54 epic minutes of playing time, once again brilliantly mixed by Jens Bogren/ Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Amon Amarth, Kreator) and featuring stunning album cover artwork by Eliran Kantor (Testament, My Dying Bride, Sodom), which can be viewed above.

BORKNAGAR founder and mastermind Øystein G. Brun comments about Fall as follows, "We are extremely proud to present you all with our twelfth album entitled Fall, another chapter of our musical journey. In many ways, Fall represents a continuation of True North, but as always, we are pushing further and afar to seek even broader and more challenging horizons. Musically, we are loyal to our musical legacy, but we have most certainly walked through fire and ice to reach our highest peak yet. Although Fall represents a wide array of musical and lyrical ideas, the fundamental theme behind the album is based on the fascination and appreciation of the very outskirts of life. Those places, and those beings, in the vast periphery of our own existence that very few live to see or even learn to know about- but still are profoundly essential for our existence. With Fall, we seek to portray and cherish all that holds up and pushes boundaries — against the great fall."

Øystein G. Brun added the following words about the track, "From the day you are born, nature will do everything in its power to get you back into the ground. The lonesome struggle of being you or the mighty struggle of all life, will eventually tear you down from the inside — or from the outside. But for the short glimpse of time we endure, we all seek the ultimate heights of our very own existence. Our first single 'Summits,' from the upcoming album Fall, scopes in on this everlasting drama of life — where the drama unfolds — at the very outskirts of life."

Fall is the follow up to 2019's widely acclaimed True North studio album and will be available as limited first-pressing Digipak CD, Gatefold 2-LP on 180gr vinyl, and as Digital Album with the following track listing.

The vinyl edition of Fall will be available in the following variants:
*Gatefold black 2LP
*Ltd. Gatefold neon orange 2LP (300x copies, available from cmdistro.de + various other retailers)
*Ltd. Gatefold transp. bottle green 2LP (300x copies, available from EMP & Nuclear Blast)

Fall into BORKNAGAR, share the grand struggle against the wild in all of us...

OCEANS OF SLUMBER Tease New Album, Announce Tour

The end of each year is a welcome time for reflection. Oceans of Slumber have spent the winter immersed in the vibrant lifeblood of Bogotá, Colombia. They've have wrapped themselves in the city's intense emotions of longing. But after signing to Season of Mist in 2023, the progressive metal band are also embracing the powerful force of change while recording their new album.

Be enthralled by "Poem of Fire". This piano medley collects the themes from Oceans of Slumber's upcoming sixth album into a single, solitary movement that stands as a monument to resilience and uncertainty. It was written and performed by the band's multi-instrumentalist Dobber Beverly. With roots in grindcore and black metal as the drummer for both Insect Warfare and Necrofier, Beverly's musical prowess knows no bounds. 

Watch the video for "Poem of Fire" below.
Stream: https://oceansofslumber.fanlink.to/PoemofFire

“Our universal love for film composers like Zimmer and Richter has cemented a place where cinematic music can flourish in the realm of progressive metal", says Beverly. "And that’s a place where we’ve been existing for years. 
 
"I’ve been studying newer composers like Arvo Pärt and Ludivico Einaudi trying to see what fuses modernism with later era romantic music (my favorite!) and figuring out how I can inject more of it into our work. 
 
"I’ve been tasked with making more piano music by Season of Mist President Michael Berberian as a dare and I’ve taken various themes from our new record and made an overarching thematic piano piece that I hope you’ll enjoy.”

Now that their new album is on its way, Oceans of Slumber are hitting the road in 2024. Come May, the band are bringing their smoldering live show to the Midwest and East Coast. They'll be igniting crowds from Wilmington, Delaware to Columbus, Ohio alongside New Years Day and Lacuna Coil, before sending the tour out with a bang at Milwaukee Metal Fest.

"Touring with Lacuna Coil is like a dream for us in Oceans of Slumber", says singer-songwriter Cammie Beverly. "Sharing the stage with such legendary women in metal is an incredible honor, and we're excited for the amazing experiences and memorable shows ahead. We can't wait to see you all there!"

Ponte Del Diavolo Announce Debut Album

Prepare to be ensnared in the haunting embrace of PONTE DEL DIAVOLO. The Italian band weave together a unique blend of doom and black metal, with a touch of old school essence and a modern, avant-garde twist that will plunge you into a sonic abyss.

Today, the dark collective are unveiling the first single off their upcoming debut album, Fire Blades From The Tomb. Led by Erba Del Diavolo's dark-wave induced vocals, “Demone” is whipped along by devilish mysticism. 

"He lives hidden inside the chest
like a disembodied God
awakened by desire
it will be the most sublime union."

Watch the mischievous video for "Demone", which unravels into a gripping story of crime, power and occult mysteries below.

Fire Blades From The Tomb is out February 16, 2024.

Prepare to cross over into the Italian dark arts with Ponte Del Diavolo. "Demone" boils with a blackened bass line that provides a massive platform for the band's massive rhythmic guitars and raw, dynamic drumming. Heck, you could mistake Erba del Diavolo for Siouxsie Soux, the way she cooly flips between frantic talk-singing and bleak, seductive croons. 

PONTE DEL DIAVOLO bridges the gap between two separate worlds.

The Italian band proposes a Doom / Black metal sound with old-school roots, adding a modern and outside the box background. The female voice - with strong dark wave influences - is the lyric corpus of this strongly esoteric project. The solid presence of two bassists creates the massive foundation for the rhythmic guitar, everything marked by a raw and dynamic drumming.

Mystery of Mystery / Secret Live Session marked the quintet’s debut EP. It was recorded live and without editing at Dracma Studio with the producer L’Ossario in their home base of Turin in March 2020. "I" was released on the web by Iopan Records. It was soon followed by their second single, "The Wickedest Woman In the World".

At the end of 2021, Ponte Del Diavolo recorded their second EP, Sancta Menstruis at Deepest Sea Studio in Turin with Danilo Battocchio. The first single,  "The Unborn", arrived in February 2022.

The band's third EP, Ave Scintilla!, was also recorded in Turin. This time around, they reconvened at Dracma Studio with L'Ossario.

Now that they've signed with Season of Mist, Ponte Del Diavolo are ready to release their debut album. Fire Blades From the Tomb  forges classic, cultish doom metal with modern bents of post-punk. Lead single and opening track “Demone” is whipped along by a boiled black bass line and dark-wave induced vocals.

Prepare to cross over into the Italian dark arts.

VENUES Share "Radiate Me" Video

German post-hardcore experience VENUES have released their brand new single "Radiate Me." Watch it here.

It follows the acclaimed album Solace and previous singles "Oblivion," "Reflections,"' "Cravings," and "Haunted House."

"Radiate Me" is an introspective track about overcoming personal challenges and striving for self-improvement. The song's lyrics depict a battle with inner demons, using vivid imagery like a "pest plant" to symbolize life's negative influences. It's ultimately an anthem for those struggling with their inner selves, emphasizing the beauty of a life beyond personal turmoil.

"The last year was quite tough for me, as my mother was diagnosed with two types of cancer," says Robin. "She immediately took up the fight and underwent chemotherapy, which was extremely hard on her. I drove her to various hospitals time and again, took care of the household, and cared for her as a person. But primarily, I saw her suffer and what the poison of this treatment did to her. The chemotherapy almost killed her. 'Radiate Me' is all of that in one song. As it stands now, she is doing well and we all hope that it stays that way. Fuck cancer."

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith.

The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other 90s albums from TESLA include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000.

TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

BEYOND THE BLACK - RELEASE NEW PIANO VERSION OF 'WIDE AWAKE'

After the release of their very successful self-titled album Beyond The Black, which was released in January 2023 the band now shares the brand new piano version of the song 'Wide Awake'. The piano version of 'Wide Awake' is the perfect song to start the pre-Christmas time and gets you in the right mood. Their highly-anticipated Dancing In The Dark tour starts in April 2024.

Jennifer Haben comments: 
"The piano version of 'Wide Awake' is something very special, because the song's creation process began with piano and vocals. I love that this pure, almost naked version, as it originally was, can now be heard by everyone. The song couldn't feel more personal to me."

About BEYOND THE BLACK:
German Symphonic Metal ascending stars BEYOND THE BLACK can already look back across a stratospherically successful career, despite their youthful years. Upon release, their 2015 debut album hit like a bomb in their home country. Songs Of Love And Death besieged the German Top 15 for weeks, which led to the band being awarded the Metal Hammer Award for “Best Debut” in 2015. Its successor Lost In Forever (2016) entered the German charts at #4 and paved the way for a huge tour throughout Germany and across countries like the UK, Russia, and Japan. Since the band’s live debut in 2014, they have played some of the world’s biggest Metal festivals like Wacken Open Air (several times) and have toured as support to heavyweights such as AEROSMITH, KORN, SCORPIONS, SAXON and WITHIN TEMPTATION. During the campaign for their third record Heart Of the Hurricane (2018), BEYOND THE BLACK landed their first-ever European headline tour, which took them across 10 countries, with most dates selling out.

Before they’d even finished the Heart Of the Hurricane touring cycle, BEYOND THE BLACK had already gone back to the studio to write and record album number four. The result was Horizons, released in June 2020, which entered the German album charts at #3 (CH #6, AT #16, BE #53) marking the band’s most successful album release to date.

Now, two years later, BEYOND THE BLACK are back to launch a new chapter. Following the release of recently highly acclaimed tracks 'Reincarnation', 'Is There Anybody Out There', 'Winter Is Coming' and 'Dancing In The Dark', the band released their new, fifth studio album – the self-titled Beyond the Black on January 13th, 2023!

Your Golden Ticket Awaits: Jagwar Twin Drops “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)”

"A charismatic collection of alt-pop earworms woven with thoughtful, dark notes of introspection."

ALTERNATIVE PRESS

agwar Twin, the alternative-rock sensation, has officially unwrapped a sonic Golden Ticket with his latest single, "Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)". Weaving together candy-coated harmonies and whimsical instrumentals, the latest track epitomizes Jagwar Twin's distinctive musical prowess that effortlessly balances nostalgia and fresh innovation. Fans can stream the brand-new track HERE.

To coincide with today's release of Paul King's "Wonka", “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)” features an interpolation of “Oompa Loompa", marking a rare approval from the original film's composers. Delving into the world of Willy Wonka, Jagwar Twin brings a new life and twist to the classic "Oompa Loompa" chorus, while also modernizing it. Co-written by Sean Van Vleet (All Time Low, PVRIS) and Ryan Daly (Dove Cameron, John Legend), "Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)", exemplifies the magic of modern visionaries reimagining the timeless charm of musical classics.

Speaking on today's single release, Jagwar Twin shares:

"Every one of us holds a golden ticket in our hand, but our ability to receive the keys to the kingdom relies on our ability to trust ourselves and to tell the truth. "Bad Feeling" is a chocolate covered reminder to trust your gut."

The new track is similar in style to his recent release, “Good Time (1:08)”, which is currently Top 20 at Mexico radio, and stand out track “Happy Face.” With an impressive 385+ million catalog streams and 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Jagwar Twin stands out as a dynamic force challenging the status quo of the alternative music scene. His genre-defying artistry has captivated audiences through the seamless blend of rhythmic accordion hooks, melodic children’s choirs, and gritty breakbeats, accompanied by profoundly introspective, almost cryptic lyrics.

Jagwar Twin's previous album, 33, channeled the magnetic showmanship of Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie and Bad-era Michael Jackson, all while unapologetically embracing authenticity and vulnerability. Fueled by chart-toppers like "It's Your Time," "I Like To Party," "Down To You," and "Happy Face," Jagwar Twin serves as a powerful catalyst. His innovative style urges listeners to embrace their true selves, recognize their self-worth, and place trust in their individuality. 

ABOUT JAGWAR TWIN

Emerging out of the suburbs of Orange County, Jagwar Twin creates worlds steeped in lore with his own genre of alternative rock: accordion hooks, children’s choirs, and gritty breakbeats paired with deeply thoughtful, almost hieroglyphic lyrics. Jagwar Twin’s music explores light and dark, good and evil, and the war within himself and each of his cult-like followers.

Chaotic Hardcore Newcomers APOSTLE Shares Lyric Video for New Song "Wrung," New EP 'Liminal' Out NOW

Blackened atmospheric chaotic hardcore newcomers APOSTLE are now celebrating the release of their new EP, 'Liminal,' which is out today via Terminus Hate City Records! The band is now sharing a lyric video for the pummeling new song, "Wrung," which can be found below.

The EP can now be streamed or downloaded via Bandcamp, Apple Music, + Spotify while fans can purchase it HERE.

Apostle's vicious new offering is fueled by the collective prowess of guitarist and vocalist Murice White, bassist Michael Thomas, and drummer Evan Price. Apostle breaks new ground with 'Liminal,' citing many diverse influences, and crafting a sonic landscape that defies categorization.

Murice White's guitar work is a fierce force, delivering textured riffs that traverse the extremes of aggression and beauty, while his seething vocals add a visceral layer to the record's tapestry. Michael Thomas's groove-laden low end provides a solid backbone, grounding the compositions in a rhythmic foundation that is both formidable and infectious. Evan Price's propulsive batterie propels the music forward, adding a kinetic energy that keeps the violent angst front and center.

From the unrelenting chaos of grindcore to the ethereal tremolos of atmospheric black metal, 'Liminal' embarks on an audacious exploration of the outer reaches of metal's vast spectrum. The warm undertones of shoegaze interlace with a robust foundation of melodic hardcore, providing a dynamic and immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional metal. While hosting audible beauty, there is deep and profound pain throughout the record.

NYC Arist & Sculptor Dom Draven Announces "Bathed in Shadows" Gallery, a Red Carpet Fashion Week Event

NYC artist and sculptor Dom Draven is proud to announce his upcoming "Bathed in Shadows" exhibition! The red carpet gallery will take place in conjunction with New York Fashion Week on February 10, 2024 at Terminal 5. This is not a ticketed event and is available via guest list only.

Recently, Dom Draven came to prominence in the metal world due to his unique, hand-crafted and surrealist sculptures made for cinematic rock outfit Earthside. Recently, Dom Draven came to prominence in the metal world due to his unique, hand-crafted and surrealist sculptures made for cinematic rock outfit Earthside (above). The limited-edition items were launched on Halloween and already sold out!

The artistic realm of Dominic Ventolora, where the passion of a New York City Fire Fighter converges with the introspection of a self-taught artist. Dominic’s artistic journey ignited in 2019 when he delved into the world of figure sculpture in clay. Little did he know that this medium would not only be creatively rewarding but would also become a powerful tool for emotional therapy.

With an innate ability to hyper-focus on challenging tasks, Dominic dedicated the following years to refining his craft and undertaking various commissions. However, the turning point in his artistic narrative arrived in August 2022 when he faced a life-altering injury in the line of duty. This traumatic experience not only reshaped his perspective on art but transformed the very essence of his existence.

Art, once a conduit for bringing others’ visions to life, took on a new role in Dominic’s life—it became a profound means of self-reflection and a vital component in his journey to heal from PTSD. His transition to cerebral abstract work marked a departure from external commissions to an exploration of internal landscapes. In this deeply personal and evocative art, Dominic found a language that surpassed the limitations of verbal expression.

Each piece that Dominic creates is a manifestation of his profound emotional experiences, a reflection of the depths of despair and self-doubt, and an integral part of his healing process. Through his art, Dominic invites you to join him on a poignant journey of self-discovery and healing, where the transformative power of creativity meets the resilience of the human spirit.

Ghost Atlas (Feat. Jesse Cash of ERRA) Share Double Single "Seeker (Stretch The Night)" + "In The House Of Leaves"

NEW ALBUM DUST OF THE HUMAN SHAPE ARRIVES JANUARY 26 VIA UNFD

Ghost Atlas, the melodic alt-rock side project from Jesse Cash of ERRA, have released the double A-Side: "Seeker (Stretch The Night)" and "In The House Of Leaves."

"'Seeker (Stretch the Night)' is arranged in a way that is less conventional structurally, and more of foundation to tell a story," Cash shares. "It started with the opening chord progression having been originally written on guitar in DADGAD open tuning. I was playing around with the idea of transferring the chords to piano and liked the idea of having the song just be those chords for the entire duration. I felt that the chord progression was interesting enough and having it continue altering slightly for several bars left a lot of room for vocal variation to prevent the flow from becoming stagnant. I liked that my only means of keeping a sense of dynamic throughout was to rely upon the production layering and fluctuating intensity in the vocals. The song is constantly weaving in and out of tension and release until the end when it finally opens up into a full band performance."

Watch the video for "Seeker (Stretch The Night)"

Ghost Atlas is an intensely personal project. Every conceptual part of the music, lyrics, and visuals is an intentional outpouring of Jesse’s mind. The twelve tracks across Dust Of The Human Shape illustrate the internal world of Jesse's fervor and ideology, while allowing the listener to find their own connective interpretation. The album is a culmination of art and tense human emotions, fuelled by a spectrum of life experiences.

It arrives January 26 via UNFD. Pre-order it here.

KORPIKLAANI - Announce New Album "Rankarumpu" + Extensive 2024 Touring Schedule Including North America, The UK And Mainland Europe

Finnish folk metal superstars KORPIKLAANI have announced the name and release date of their upcoming new studio album, Rankarumpu, which is due to be released on April 5th, 2024. In addition, KORPIKLAANI have revealed their massive touring plans for 2024, starting with an extensive UK tour with Alestorm and Heidevolk in February and March, two album release shows in Mexico on April 5th and 6th, followed by a North Amercan tour with Visions Of Atlantis & Illumishade (feat. members of Eluveitie) in April and May, a good number of big European Summer festivals and a European tour towards the end of the year. Scroll down for all confirmed dates.

KORPIKLAANI's twelfth studio album, Rankarumpu, is once again full of tasty folk metal and its different flavors, but it also offers new spices. Perhaps the ancient gods of joyful music have decided to bless their own sons with some new miraculous extracts?
 
"Whenever I start writing something new, the material always finds its own path without any forcing - that stuff just comes from somewhere deep inside me, completely naturally", states Jonne Järvelä.
 
"Anyway, when I started to come up with the material for Rankarumpu, I set myself a goal. A couple of previous records, especially Kulkija (2018), were a bit slower as a whole, so this time I wanted to benefit from a bit faster tempos - a bit like the old Korpiklaani."
 
This is exactly what Rankarumpu is all about. Of course, KORPIKLAANI sometimes slows down and gets seriously emotional, but for the most part Rankarumpu - as a whole, probably the band's catchiest album to date - rushes forward at a faster pace.

One of the most wonderful features of Rankarumpu is related to the folk instruments. Although KORPIKLAANI has done one or maybe even a couple of unforgettable things in the realm of folk metal, this time new permanent member Olli Vänskä's violin and Sami Perttula's accordion may surprise even die-hard fans.
 
Rankarumpu, like the two previous records, was executed with recording / mixing engineer and producer Janne Saksa. It seems that the collaboration between the band and Saksa has reached a whole new level with Rankarumpu.

VLTIMAS Announce New Album

VLTIMAS have been legends since the dawn of metal. Rune Eriksen took hold of axe-wielding duties for the second coming of Mayhem. Flo Mounier has been drumming for Cryptopsy since their earliest exhumations of the Canadian underground. And who could forget David Vincent, the larger-than-life vocalist for Morbid Angel.        

Having already made history, some metalheads may have stroked their beard and wondered if there could possibly be any new realms for this band to conquer. After all, their debut was voted Album of the Year by Zero Tolerance Magazine and BangerTV.  But on their new album, VLTIMAS ascend to truly epic heights.

EPIC comes out March 15, 2024. 

Watch the video for lead single "Miserere" below.

Pre-save: https://orcd.co/vltimasepic

VLTIMAS have been making grand declarations of war for more than 30 years, but "Miserere" isn't just another offering at the altar of madness. "I spread my misery, biblically evolved", Vincent sings in a  baritone that's so monstrous it could summon an army of the dead. The drums speed ahead mercilessly, mowing down all onlookers under a barrage of surgical blast beats, as riffs hail from all directions with enough firepower to shatter bulletproof glass. 


"The world throws us all trials and tribulations constantly," says VLTIMAS. "We use this angst as a weapon in our art to score the apocalypse".

Extreme metal powerhouse VLTIMAS (pronounced 'uhl-tuh-mas') assault metaldom once more with their highly-anticipated sophomore album, EPIC, through Season of Mist. Featuring Norwegian guitarist Rune "Blasphemer" Eriksen (ex-Mayhem, Aura Noir), American vocalist David Vincent (ex-Morbid Angel), and Canadian drummer Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy), the multinational quintet, rounded out by Dutch bassist Ype TVS (ex-Dodecahedron) and Portuguese guitarist João Duarte (Corpus Christii), continue to venture down their path. Moored by strength and integrity, VLTIMAS fortified their signature with wicked invention, as applauded by Decibel Magazine, BangerTV, Louder, and many others, on their debut, Something Wicked Marches In (2019). Singles "Miserere," "Scorcher," and "Invictus" showcase a band of musicians at the top of their game, united in their pursuit of oneness.

"We wrote every bit of EPIC together at my ranch in Dime Box, Texas," offers Vincent. "The writing sessions were as organic as they could be. There were times when, at the end of the night, Rune would take his guitar and play something ridiculous. Flo would play something even more ridiculous on top of it. I'd say to the guys, 'I need to capture this.' So, the magic [of VLTIMAS] is being in the same room together, discussing, playing, and recording music and everything else we're doing together. We have unbelievable camaraderie."
 

While the members of VLTIMAS are not atavists, their preferred creative methods are time-tested and battle-hardened. Technology has its place, but the group thrive when they're together, not separated by the world. Eriksen, renowned as a riff innovator, is more effective when he's got a highly capable sideman like Vincent or Mounier, whose drumming in Cryptopsy and his celebrated instructional Extreme Metal Drumming 101 DVD has proven to be a no-limits player, by his side. Whether it's the moody, angular attack of "Miserere," the wicked groove of "Mephisto Manifesto," or the dark fury of "Nature's Fangs," the chemistry and enterprise of VLTIMAS is undeniable.

"The main goal [of VLTIMAS] is to be real," Eriksen reveals. "To channel the very moment, to let true inspiration out. I don't believe I ever set myself a goal on what an album should or needs to sound like before I or we write it because that means I have to compromise during the process. For EPIC, we focused on more direct songs, trimming the fat, as opposed to Something Wicked Marches In, which had a progressive and 'playful' flair."

VLTIMAS was a profane concept—a constellation of riffs against a modest frame—when formed by Eriksen in 2015. After departing Mayhem in 2008 and putting his gothic doom outfit Ava Inferi to rest in 2013, the Norwegian's fingers still itched with infernal fury. VLTIMAS was his vent, and when Mounier and Vincent joined, he finally had the cadre of professionals to make it a reality. Together, they devised complementary schemes and themes rooted in rightness. In a world gone mad, VLTIMAS had a vision. On Something Wicked Marches In, they commanded attention with metaphors about the apocalypse, the ancient goddess Lilith, and truth. Lyrically, EPIC spears into the very nucleus of strength through Vincent's brio of double entendre and clever wordsmithing. The songs are designed to be heard, read, and interpreted—there are no shortcuts.

"Everything we're doing and messaging is about strength and honor," says Vincent. "These are the fundamentals that I incorporate into my life, which I believe in. I want to share with others, hoping they'll incorporate strength and honor into their lives. I wouldn't say I like spelling lyrics out. I use a lot of double meanings on purpose because I want to inspire the listener to think. I'm not a short attention span guy, and I don't appreciate it. EPIC is holistic and meant to be experienced that way."


EPIC was recorded by producer Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Grave Miasma) with engineer Jonathan Mazzeo (First Fragment, Sickening) at Arda Recorders in Porto, Portugal. VLTIMAS tracked the album throughout May 2023. Arellano also handled the mix and master. Like everything the band does, the main goal was to be honest. The maxim of no sample replacement or re-amping—EPIC was captured on outboard gear—was adhered to and enjoyed by the team. The result is a sonic expression that sounds like nothing else. From the crushing title track to the epic musicality of closer "Spoils of War," EPIC is an absolute beast.


"Stress, long walks, too much alcohol, yet very focused once in the recording mode," Eriksen says of the sessions. "We booked a month, but somehow, that flew by instantly. We worked up until the very end. I even added a few solos at my local Soundscape Studio in Almada, Portugal. Art unfolds, and once you think you are done, there's always another idea popping up."


VLTIMAS brought Italian artist Daniele Valeriani (Mayhem, Unanimated) to visualize EPIC. The aesthetic, as illuminated by music and message, was iconic boldness. The three-eagle head crest with three different crowns, accompanied by transfigured symbols of the Passion and the "impossible triangle," projects effortlessly. In EPIC, the group will dominate. There's no escape from "Miserere," "Mephisto Manifesto," "Scorcher," and "Invictus." Together, they thrust, by resolve and inventiveness, VLTIMAS into the uppermost echelons of extreme metal.


"[EPIC is] old meets contemporary, a symbiosis of all the great things we love about extreme metal," offers Eriksen. "All combined into one album."


"I want to be as emotional and honest [with VLTIMAS]," Vincent adds. "I want to tell stories; I want to have the themes that appeal to me; I want to have some messaging that someone can take away, in this case, strength. EPIC is strength."

In a world that seems to be spiraling out of control, Kurt Deimer is a man with a very clear mission: Work Hard, Rock Hard, Play hard and Spread positivity. In fact, his mantra could be summed up: “Take the high road, do the right thing, encourage others.” It sounds like a tall order these days in a world full of warring factions. And it’s an unusual mission for a singer/songwriter vocalist whose music could be described as hard rock, even heavy metal – genres that are not always synonymous with positivity.

Deimer, for his part, describes his work as good old fashioned rock and roll. “And it’s as good a vehicle as any for spreading good vibes” he says. “I’m here to encourage others to treat people with respect, dignity and kindness,” he says. “I’ve been through a lot of things in my life and I try to share that with others and be a beacon of hope for my listeners.”

That positivity and perseverance has paid off for the native of Cincinnati, Ohio. He’s not only launched a movie franchise, Hellbilly Hollow, by filming and starring in a feature length horror film of the same name. He’s also recorded more than two dozen songs with legendary producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, James Brown and the Rolling Stones), his management team includes Brian Wheat, manager of TESLA who discovered him while opening for TESLA.

Chris Lord-Alge says he was drawn to Kurt’s originality as an artist. “I saw something completely different in Kurt, and that was the lure for me. He isn’t a typical rock or country artist – I love hearing him talk and narrating a story, and I was drawn to taking those stories and helping turn them into music. He’s a personality, he’s someone you want to talk to.”

Things have not always been positive in Deimer’s world. At age 20, as a young rock vocalist, he found himself in the grips of drug addiction. He later discovered he was using substances to medicate an underlying anxiety condition. At that young age, he quit drugs, got help for his anxiety and never looked back.

He eventually started buying and selling rental properties and used that money to start the first of several successful companies he owns. Despite making his mark in the business world, Deimer didn’t feel ready to settle down and “join the country club and play golf all day” – so at an age when most people start thinking about slowing down, he started to speed up.

Inspired by the artists that helped shape him – Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Marley and AC/DC, to name just a few – he started writing song lyrics.

Inspired by his love of movies and acting roles in films including the 2018 ‘Halloween’ remake – where his character was killed by Michael Myers – and John Travolta’s ‘Trading Paint,’ he started hashing out a movie concept that became his eventual Hellbilly Hollow feature film and franchise.

Deimer has supported Geoff Tate on an expansive cross-country tour that highlighted material from his debut EP, that came out on November 19, 2021, which includes a duet with Tate and a trilogy of music videos directed by Scottish filmmaker Paul Boyd [Sting, Deadmau5, The Cult] that spotlight Deimer’s cinematic vision and charismatic presence. Along with many other supporting shows including TESLA, Drowning Pool and Yngwie Malmsteen all this within the first two years of touring.

For Deimer, the inspiration is to make the world a better place one song at a time, singing about the ills of the 21st century and offering solutions instead of excuses. “When people listen to my music, I want to help them decompress and feel better after a brutal day. That’s what music always did for me, and that’s what we need more of today.”

Season Two of Farmer Wants a Wife, the most successful dating show in the world, airing in 32 countries and resulting in 201 marriages and 514 children…and counting, returns Thursday, Feb. 1 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Hosted by superstar entertainer and Grammy Award winner Jennifer Nettles, the anticipated season follows four farmers in search of real, lasting love. 
 
Season Two’s new crop of farmers—Ty Ferrell, Mitchell Kolinsky, Brandon Rogers and Nathan Smothers — host a group of single women who leave behind the comfort and convenience of city life for the charms and challenges of country living, as they embark on an adventure that could change the course of their lives forever. 
 
With diverse backgrounds in cattle ranching, citrus, potato and barley farming, horse training and more, the upcoming season promises an even more in-depth look at the pursuit of genuine love as each farmer and their group of hopeful singles meet and mutually select one another before the women are invited to experience life on their respective farm. From there, the farmers show each group what it is really like on an actual working farm, from tending to the land, harvesting crops and feeding cattle, to the behind-the-scenes business operations. 
 
As the ladies immerse themselves in the realities of farm life, some will blossom while some will head out to pasture and ALL will quickly learn a manicure only lasts so long in the great outdoors. With this comes even more fish-out-of-water moments, and only time will tell if the ladies have the patience, spirit and adaptability required to be a farmer’s wife. Together, with the hope of finding their ever-after, they endeavor to discover the beauty, humor, trials and romance that come with finding the one.

While both his parents and his two brothers have more traditional, white-collar careers, Mitchell fell in love with the beauty and promise of the great outdoors.
