Swedish Dark Metal trio THE VICE has unveiled a haunting new video for the track 'Crossing Over', taken from their latest album "Dead Canary Run" released in January 2024 via Noble Demon.


Directed by Jimmy Johansson, the video serves as a visual manifestation of the track's unsettling mood, amplifying the raw intensity and brooding atmosphere that define THE VICE's distinct sound.

THE VICE about the track: "Crossing Over immediately drags you out of your comfort zone with its eerie groove and the mean pumping bass. Together they convey a very unsettling mood leading up to the ferocious climax. That one last, violent moshpit on the deck of this sinking ship."

Building upon the foundations set by their previous work - a blend of filthy rock, blackened metal, gothic influences and death-ridden pop - the band's latest album "Dead Canary Run" takes listeners down a deranged path that THE VICE has masterfully crafted over the years.

With an eclectic mix of genres thriving like never before, the album promises to captivate fans with its raw energy and infectious melodies. While some elements may feel familiar, there are numerous new levels that THE VICE has reached with this new offering. "Dead Canary Run" serves as a testament to the band's growth since their recent full-length album "White Teeth Rebellion", showcasing their passion and determination, with their amps cranked up to 11.

Swedish symphonic extreme metal act ZORNHEYM, founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn (ex-DARK FUNERAL / ex-Devian), has released its brand new EP, The Forgotten Inmates. This acoustic EP marks the next chapter in the band's haunting musical journey. Following the success of their debut album, Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns, which introduced listeners to the band's terrifying concept of a mental institution and its prisoners, ZORNHEYM continued their narrative-driven approach with their 2021 full-length record, The Zornheim Sleep Experiment.

Speaking about the acoustic rendition of "Slumber Comes in Time", ZORNHEYM shared, "We wanted to arrange it in a folk style. The main melody for the song is taken from an original Swedish folk song, so we felt it suitable to rewrite the lyrics in Swedish as well to really lean into the source."

WINTERHORDE Announces New Album "Neptunian" And Releases Video For First Single!

WINTERHORDE, the Progressive Extreme Metal group hailing from Northern Israel, has announced the release of its highly anticipated fourth studio album, Neptunian, due out December 8 via Noble Demon. In preparation for this monumental release, the band has unveiled the first single "The Spirit of Freedom", which showcases the band's unique blend of enchanting tenderness and brutal intensity. The track is accompanied by a brand new video, which you can watch below.

WINTERHORDE bassist and founder, Alexander Latman, comments on "The Spirit Of Freedom":
"This song deals with the unbreakable spirit of simple people, who are ready to die for keeping their land free. We wanted to show this spirit, not only in the warrior himself but also in his family members who are filled with pride of their fallen loved one. The simple people are those who sacrifice their lives for unnecessary wars waged by rich people’s games. They die, but never give up their freedom and identity. The conflict of life versus freedom at any cost".

Since their formation in 2002, WINTERHORDE has been on a relentless journey of musical evolution, constantly pushing the boundaries of their craft. Their unwavering dedication to becoming something greater with each chord they play and record has earned them a well-deserved reputation as one of the most articulate and innovative acts in today's extreme metal. Following the success of their third studio album, Maestro (2016), WINTERHORDE took a six-year hiatus to regroup and recharge. Now, filled with a new lineup and an abundance of creative energy, the band is ready to embark on their next musical odyssey with Neptunian.

To give fans a taste of what's to come, WINTERHORDE released the off-album digital single, "The Greatest Plague of Earth," in June 2022. The overwhelming response to this release caught the attention of powerhouse label Noble Demon, leading to a record deal and the forthcoming release of Neptunian in December 2023. The album was expertly mixed and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Paradise Lost, Insomnium, Moonspell), ensuring a powerful and immersive listening experience.

Finnish melodic doom metallers Kaunis Kuolematon have released their highly anticipated new album Mielenvalta, today, October 13 via Noble Demon.

The album is available in physical formats and on all major streaming platforms.

Listen to the album's opening track "Surussa Uinuva" below.

Kaunis Kuolematon on "Surussa Uinuva":

"Surussa Uinuva is a track about loathing in melancholy and / or depression. The more you give to it, the more it takes. Keeping mental gaze locked in positive is the true minds reign - the soundtrack is deliberately quite fast paced indulged with anxious movement and arrangement that describes well the struggle or escape to a more balanced mindset. The question in this song "who will wake up the one quiescent in sorrow" - that is the one experiencing it, keeping in mind that circumstances may create a bubble that sometimes needs to be popped from outside. So the point is that even depression can be a personal reaction to extrapersonal conditions that needs to be sorted oneself, so let‘s make this life better for everyone and keep in mind that the burden is not always seen from the outside, so comprehension or compassion without direct interference goes a long way also."

With their latest album Syttyköön Toinen Aurinko, featuring lyrics entirely in Finnish, Kaunis Kuolematon has already left an indelible mark on the scene, garnering praise from fans and critics alike. With their new album Mielenvalta the band's development reaches new heights, promising an immersive experience that will leave you breathless.

Symphonic extreme metal act ZORNHEYM Announces Graphic Novel Version of "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" and Brand New Acoustic EP; Releases Lyric Video for First Single!

ZORNHEYM have just announced the graphic novel version of the band’s latest album The Zornheim Sleep Experiment and a brand new acoustic EP, entitled The Forgotten Inmates, which will be released on Nov. 3rd via Noble Demon. With the lyric video for the first single "Keep the Devil Away", the band has unleashed a first preview of the upcoming graphic novel today. Watch the video here:
English: below.
French: https://youtu.be/CyqkcigKDKk

Founded and led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn (ex- DARK FUNERAL / ex- Devian), Swedish symphonic extreme metal act ZORNHEYM quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and narrative driven concept revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its prisoners. In 2017, ZORNHEYM officially opened the doors of the asylum with their debut album Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns, introducing the terrifying concept and the gruesome characters within. With powerful, cinematic and captivating symphonic extreme metal, the band took the listener under its spell and the story found its disturbing continuation in 2021 with the band's latest full-length record The Zornheim Sleep Experiment.

Two critically acclaimed albums that not only musically respresent the class of ZORNHEYM, but also visually are something quite exceptional, as both records are accompanied by a stunning graphic novel, in which each chapter takes a closer look at the different inmates of the ZORNHEYM asylum. While the album's lyrics and the session notes in the booklet served as two parts of the complete story, ZORNHEYM now deliver the third and final piece of the puzzle with the graphic novel, and you will follow Dr. Bettelheim from when he is putting the final touches on his statement of intent till the horrific ending of the experiment. As on their debut "Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns" ZORNHEYM have again collaborated with the super talented Finnish artist Anu Saari, who has brought the story to life with her amazing painting skills!

ZORNHEYM about the making of their new EP:
"During the pandemic Zorn and Bendler did some live streaming and played acoustic interpretations of some of our songs. When it was time to record “The Zornheim Sleep Experiment” we decided to record “Whom the Night Brings” as an acoustic version to add as a bonus.

The original plan was to release that bonus track when the graphic novel was done. Due to a pregnancy the graphic novel was delayed. Zorn then remembered that Blind Guardian had released an album with acoustic interpretations of some of their songs in the ‘90’s. To reward our patient inmates we felt that we wanted to record a couple of songs, since the graphic novel took longer than expected to finalize. To thank our French fans that gave us an extra warm welcome on the successful French tour last year we decided to record “Keep the Devil Away” in French as well.

For “Slumber Comes in Time” we decided to make it in Swedish, since it’s based around an old folk tune that the Vallons brought to Sweden during the 1700’s, and base the whole song around that old folk melody."

So put on the album, sit down in your favorite chair and join ZORNHEYM into the depths of the asylum!

The Forgotten Inmates was recorded at Wing Studios. Mix and master by Sverker Widgren. The EP was produced by Sverker Widgren & Zorn. Artwork by Anu Saari.

The Forgotten Inmates is now available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION
