Thy Art Is Murder ascended the ranks of extreme metal's top tier bands with a meteoric underground rise as explosive as humankind's seemingly inevitable descent into doom and death. With their new album, Godlike, Australia's most harrowingly brutal export since George Miller's Mad Max franchise invites audiences worldwide to join them in a fresh Armageddon.  The sixth explosive album in the band's arsenal, Godlike cements Thy Art Is Murder as death metal's modern torchbearers. A soundtrack to a divisive post-modern dystopia, Godlike sees Thy Art Is Murder explore new depths and dynamics without sacrificing an ounce of intensity or urgency the band have staked their career on.

AngelMaker Announce New Full-Length Album, 'Sanctum'

AngelMaker

Announce New Album

SANCTUM

Featuring Previous Quadrant Releases Dawn, Dusk, Twilight and Eclipse With Six Additional New Tracks

Pre-Orders Are available Now Here

Northern Vancouver deathcore sextet, AngelMaker have announced the long-awaited release of their new album, Sanctum today. The album will feature the 8 tracks previously released 2-track quadrants - Dawn, Dusk, Twilight and Eclipse along with 6 brand new, previously unreleased tracks and will drop on Friday, March 11th, 2022 in association with Blood Blast Distribution. Pre-order bundles for Sanctum are available now here.

Speaking on the announcement of the their highly anticipated new album, AngelMaker share

“Sanctum is an amalgamation of all of our purest, most visceral ideas put into a collection of songs we couldn’t be more proud of. Spawned during the global pandemic, we nurtured these songs throughout long periods of isolation & uncertainty. Despite everything around us we believe we created some of the best, most mature AngelMaker music to date.

As the band adapted to the concert-less conditions of the worldwide shutdown due to COVID-19, they crafted a release strategy to ensure their increasingly perfected modern deathcore is heard. The first eight tracks from the new album appear as two-song “quadrants,” designed to build anticipation for the newly announced full-length. These quadrants spawned four music videos - "Exit Signs", "What I Would Give", "Vengeance" and "Creator's Conscience" along with their B-Side counterparts. Between them, the four quadrants have clocked up 1.6 million cross-platform streams and 417,000 YouTube views.

AngelMaker levels listeners with a furious, focused, diverse, and violent extremity, creating deathcore of the highest order, injected with blackened thrash, a smattering of power violence, and the urgent ferocity of underground hardcore. AngelMaker summon the most brutal elements of Floridian death metal and combine it with the coldest permafrost of Scandinavian black metal, without the theatricality sometimes clouding the genres. The brand new music unleashed by AngelMaker in 2021, crafted in recent months with producer Tim Creviston (Spiritbox, Misery Signals, Vultures) and mixed and mastered by Will Putney(Thy Art Is Murder, Knocked Loose, Every Time I Die), is the band’s most confident and destructive yet.

AngelMaker reveres the old-school 2005 – 2010 era of deathcore, constantly reevaluating their own material to improve upon it with each release. The music combines with lyrics about personal struggles (fear, loss, sadness, anxiety), worldly ideas and concepts, and fantastical, cinematic themes. The band’s dual-vocal and triple-guitar composition allows for new and diverse explorations of extremity, setting AngelMaker both inside and apart from the traditions of the deathcore subgenre.

As Greenwood points out, AngelMaker “continues to strive for the freshness of modern extreme music while bearing the coveted torch of the old-school deathcore sound. And if we can write songs that make listeners go through a sort of catharsis, then I think we have done our jobs correctly.”

Ten years strong as an independent, do-it-yourself force, AngelMaker triumphantly stands tall. Continuously evolving whilst paying homage to the deathcore giants that came before them. Now, as the British Columbian ensemble’s first new material in roughly two years seeps out from the underground, AngelMaker are back and ready to once again assert their place at the very forefront of the deathcore scene. Pre-order their new album, Sanctum now here.

ABOUT ANGELMAKER

The members of AngelMaker were all teenagers when the band formed (half of them even went to the same high school together) and began a decade long streak of independence that continues to this day. 2012’s Decay EP put them on the deathcore map. A three-way split EP with Lament and Isolations arrived the following year.

AngelMaker’s full-length debut, 2015’s Dissentient, was a massive standout, demonstrated by ferocious songs like “Godless", “A Dark Omen,” and “Leech,” the latter of which accumulated 1.7 million views on YouTube and 4.1 million Spotify streams. One Bandcamp commenter likened the album’s sound to “cutting your heart out with a rusty spoon.” Portland, Oregon-based producer Stephan Hawkes (Chelsea Grin, Attila, Red Fang) produced and mixed it.

The Unholy Alliance split with A Night In Texas arrived in 2016, less than a year before AngelMaker beat more than a dozen bands for a fan-voted spot on 2017’s Summer Slaughter Tour, featuring The Black Dahlia Murder, Dying Fetus, The Faceless, Oceano, Slaughter To Prevail, Origin, Rings Of Saturn, Betraying The Martyrs, and Lorna Shore, among others. That momentum continued across Canada, with AngelMaker selected as the only opening act for The Faceless on a short trek.

The deathcore subreddit lit up in search of footage from AngelMaker’s spectacular performance at the Brutal Assault festival in 2018 in an 18th-century army fortress in Czechia. MetalSucks presented the fall’s Bloodletting North America tour, putting AngelMaker alongside Virginia’s Arsis; California’s Decrepit Birth; Slovenia’s Within Destruction; and New York’s Internal Bleeding and Pyrexia.

AngelMaker’s self-titled sophomore album emerged in 2019, punctuated by unrelenting tracks like “Hollow Heart,” “BLOODTHIRSTER” and “Requiem.” They supported the record with shows and tours alongside Despised Icon, Kublai Khan, and Ingested.

To date, the band have clocked up over 40 million streams across their catalog and 21.1 million YouTube views.

AngelMaker Release Video For Brand New Track "Exit Signs"

One of modern deathcore's most prevalent and consistent forces, Northern Vancouver six-piece ANGELMAKER have released their fourth two-track EP today, titled 'Eclipse'. As a mysterious pattern seems to be emerging, much like its three 2-track predecessors - 'Dawn', 'Twilight' and 'Dusk' - the arrival of the 'Eclipse' EP is heralded by a cinematic music video for lead single "Exit Signs" and brand new b-side track, "The Weight". Watch the video below. Find the 'Eclipse' EP on streaming platforms HERE.

Speaking on today's release, vocalist Mike Greenwood shares

"It’s easy to get lost in the moment. Sometimes we don’t notice all the warning signs of a situation until a lot later. “Exit Signs” explores the idea that we all experience subtle warnings that we should take heed of, but often let our emotions drive us deeper down the path. The song has a bit of everything, an epic chorus, some heavy breaks, and the melancholy we love to bring to our songs."

The 'Eclipse' EP now joins the three former 2-track releases to reveal a cryptic set of quadrants that takes fans on a journey from 'Dawn' through 'Twilight' to 'Dusk' and now 'Eclipse'. Between them the formerly quadrants have spawned lead singles & videos "Creator's Conscience", "Vengeance", and "What I Would Give" featuring B-side tracks "Eating The Body Of God", "The Great Grey Flame" and "Lazarus".

To date, the releases have clocked up over 1 million cross-platform streams and 278k YouTube views and seen ANGELMAKER placed as cover stars of Spotify's Deathcore playlist twice and been featured on several major playlists including Spotify's 'New Metal Tracks', Apple Music's 'Breaking Metal', Tidal's 'Extreme Metal Music' and Deezer's 'Deathcore'.

Revolver Magazine included "Creator's Conscience" on their '7 Best New Songs Right Now' list the week it was released, calling the track "a triumphant detonation that utilizes both of their vocalists and all three of their guitarists to unleash a mine-field-like assault on the listener." and Loudwire recently included "Creator's Conscience" on their 2021's Best Metal Songsplaylist.

Speaking on the release of "What I Would Give", vocalist Mike Greenwood shares

““In our lifetime everyone experiences loss in some way or another, the weight of death and grief can weigh heavy and leave an impression that lasts forever. What I Would Give” is about just that. It is one of our most emotionally driven songs to date. It speaks about the loss of loved ones and the idea that we would do anything to have them back in our lives. The song is sad but beautiful and is an homage to the ones we have lost.”

The two tracks on 'Dusk' follow previous two-track EP releases 'Twilight' and 'Dawn' which spawned lead singles & videos "Vengeance" and "Creator's Conscience" and featuring B-side tracks "Eating The Body Of God" and "The Great Grey Flame". Between them, the two releases have clocked up 586,510 cross-platform streams and 166,000 YouTube views since release.
