FROZEN BY FIRE - IN MY SIGHTS - Featured At BATHORY ́zine! Check it out here at this link: https://www.bathoryzine.com/2021/09/lions-share-new-single-and-video.html Release Date: September 22, 2021 FFO: Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold Melodic heavy metal and hard rock band Frozen By Fire are about to release their new music video for the song In My Sights on YouTube. The song is from their upcoming 3rd studio album Dancing With Death.  The song goes live on Wednesday Sept 22nd, 2021 Check out the video! [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="LIiGkPTBWhE"] The story of the video is about a stalker, and The Joblin plays the part menacingly, following the object of his desire, played by the very stunning Carae Schultz, through her every day life and she narrowly escapes on several occasions.  When Joblin finally catches his prize, the real fun begins!  A shock ending and a twisted sense of humor make this dark and sinister video a must watch for all Hard Rock and Metal Music fans.   The musicians in the video are: The Joblin (Lead Vocals / Guitars), Ricky Pasket (Bass Guitar), Cody Cris who plays a blistering guitar solo and Leo McPherson makes a guest appearance on the drums.   The music video was filmed mainly in Texas, USA, along with a few other locations. The song itself is reminiscent of classic Metal bands from the past, with a modern twist.  It starts out with a very foreboding guitar line, followed by some heavy chords.  The vocals begin very ominously as the lyrics describe the singer's infatuation with the girl of his dreams, only she doesn't know it yet!  Once the chorus kicks in, it has a very catchy melody that will be stuck in your head as you sing along.  The guitar solo boosts things into high gear with some shredding and tasty themes.  The main riff is a play off of the intro riff, only heavier and accompanied by a drum groove that goes from slow and heavy to faster and flashy as it progresses through the part. Frozen By Fire was started in 2009 in Las Vegas NV, and have released two full length albums so far. They are in the process of releasing their 3rd full length album, and they are releasing several feature live action music videos for the upcoming album.

Emissary - 2021 Summer Tour EP - Reviewed By BATHORY ́zine! Check it out here at this link: https://www.bathoryzine.com/2021/09/emissary-summer-tour-ep-review-by-varg.html Today’s review is of American Power Metal band Emissary’s new EP. Serving as an appetizer before their upcoming album later this year, the release features 3 tracks from their latest Summer Tour and their respective demo versions from 1994-95. Combining classic Power Metal in the likes of Gamma Ray with the characteristic approach of USPM and a much more Heavy Metal direction than most bands of the genre, there are bits that may also remind the listener of Iron Maiden, although there is also an aggressive Speed Metal undertone as in any good Power Metal. Their melodic interludes between catchy choruses will surely also appeal to fans of Seventh Son-era Maiden, while the Power Metal roots are still there apparent. Collectors may be interested in these raw versions of “The Silent Treatment”, “Crash & Burn” and “Ruler Of Defiance”. I recommend this album to fans of Power Metal, Speed Metal and Heavy Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10. - BATHORY ́zine Release Date: August 25, 2021 FFO: Metal Church, Flotsam & Jetsam, Death Angel EMISSARY REVEAL UPCOMING ALBUM TITLE, SUMMER TOUR WRAP UP, NEW MERCH, BANDCAMP PAGE LAUNCHED, AND NEW EP AVAILABLE NOW! On Thursday August 5th, the West Coast Metal outfit known as EMISSARY returned to the stage in Oregon after a quarter century of silence and received what they called an overwhelming response when performing as direct support for the first night of Hard Rock veterans TESLA's 2021 tour (prior to the pandemic halting future tour plans.) From the classic lineup, EMISSARY features frontman Jym Harris, drummer Eric Hoover, guitarist Tim Dahlen and bassist Peter Shawn Kinney. New guitarist Charlie Francipane (TRICK, SURRENDER TO EDEN) was recruited when Jon Holden parted ways with the band to focus on his main project, AMERIKAN FREAKSHOW earlier this year. Harris, Dahlen and Kinney then attended the RUSTED METAL book signing in Portland, Oregon alongside members of HEIR APPARENT, GLACIER, Q5, NIGHTSHADE, LIPSTICK and others two days after their debut reunion show. EMISSARY can be found on page 122 of the Pacific Northwest's historical guide to Hard Rock & Heavy Metal music. Less than two weeks later, EMISSARY played an evening slot at California's REDWOOD METALFEST on August 21st, alongside dozens of other acts such as LICH KING, BLIND ILLUSION, SKITZO and MORDRED. The final show on the summer tour was in Oregon, headlining S2S SUMMERFEST in Central Point the next day. EMISSARY's new studio debut titled "THE WRETCHED MASQUERADE" is planned for a late 2021 release via UNDERGROUND POWER RECORDS. The band says a deluxe 2 disc version of the album has been discussed, and a vinyl edition should drop sometime next year. The upcoming release features cover art by Donald Yatomi, known for his work with MEGADETH and TOURNEQUET among others. The band hopes to finish recording before sharing the stage with UK Heavy Metal Legends RAVEN in Portland, Oregon on November 9th, 2021. Check out the limited Edition 6 track Summer Tour CD featuring three brand new recordings plus original demo versions of the same songs. No official release date is set for the full-length album, just sometime in 2021! 2021 Summer Tour EP by Emissary Check out this video!

Now that it is ready for release, the band couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. They are eager to share with fans their love of storytelling and cosmic horror in a concept album that vocalist Blind has been percolating since their formation in 2015. They say that they have scratched every creative itch with this record, and hope fans get the same satisfaction from it.  “Chaos Vector” was recorded by Yanic Bercier (Gone in April, Quo Vadis) at Wavetransform Studios in Knoxville, USA. The album will include a Lovecraft-style cosmic horror short story written by the band where each chapter correlates to a song. This story marks a new chapter in The Lore of The Six and sets a foundation for them conceptually moving forward.  Dark and haunting, Summoner’s Circle is recommended for fans of Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth and Immortal.

About:"Let the Summoning Begin..."Summoner's Circle is a six-piece theatrical metal band that blends elements of doom, death, black and progressive metal into what they refer to as simply Epic Metal. For the band, every song in an incantation, every live performance is a Summoning, and everything they do is tied intrinsically to the mythology, or lore, they have created. The lore tells the story of the band's origins, battles of divine conquest and showcases their creativity and vision, which sets the stage for a very entertaining live performance where bigger is better, and Epic is always the standard. The Summoners released their first EP, entitled First Summoning, in late 2015. This was followed in 2016 by the single, Become None, and its B-side, Minotaur, both of which are included on their debut full-length release entitled Tome, which was released in June of 2018. In May of 2019, Tome was repackaged and released as Become None via the Pavement Entertainment label. In the spring of 2019, Summoner's Circle joined Children of Bodom, Swallow the Sun and Wolfheart as part of Bodom's Hexed North American Tour, gaining many new fans and excellent reviews. In June of 2019, the Six signed a worldwide management deal with Extreme Management Group, Inc. who also manages Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index and many others. Summoner's Circle’s second full-length album Chaos Vector released in 2021 is accompanied by a Lovecraft-style cosmic horror short story written by the band. Each song is a chapter in the story.  “Summoners' Circle have the whole package. Their songs are original and memorable, beautifully written, and hook the listener after the first listening. They have a great stage presence, and the theatricality and imagery of their live performances keep the fans talking about their experience way beyond the day of the show. I am honored to work on the production of their upcoming album.” - Yanic Bercier, Ph.D | Endorser of Yamaha Drums, Sabian, Vic Firth, Evans, AKG, RME, True-Systems, Engl, Ddrum “Hooked the first time I saw this band play! No two shows are the same and I'm always left wanting more.  It's what music and show should be!” - Lee Abney | Pentagram/Place of Skulls "These guys are serious about what they do and the costumes and imagery match the grandiose sound they produce." No Clean Singing "SUMMONER'S CIRCLE's full-length debut gets near the 75-minute mark, and yet it succeeds in balancing complexity, heaviness, catchiness, mystery and melodrama to make sure its duration does not become overwhelming. an almost perfect record ...especially its flawless production and its tight, inventive songwriting." - Metal Temple “Summoner's Circle is the kind of band you go your whole life hoping to hear and when you finally do it's even better than you expected. They are the culmination of a lifetime spent listening to music and finally finding something that fits where nothing else has. Plus, brutality aside, they're just a fantastic group of otherworldly beings.” - Josh Martin 94.3 WNFZ Follow the band at these links: https://www.summonerscircle.com/ https://www.facebook.com/summonerscircle https://twitter.com/summoners13 https://www.instagram.com/summonerscircle/ https://linktr.ee/SummonersCircle https://music.apple.com/us/artist/summoners-circle/1074087942 https://open.spotify.com/artist/2BpJrW0RgXSQgDwv9VbU4J?si=c_PwGE8CQzKd5TPVIEA-Ig&dl_branch=1 Less

Check it out here at this link: https://music-mtview.blogspot.com/2021/09/concrete-ethereal-atrocities-old-school.html Release Date: September 25, 2021 FFO: Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Exhumed Back in 2011 Kalin Kolev decided to form a death metal band so he started writing riff material on his own. Soon, somewhere around July the same year, Zhivko Stoyanov, an old friend of Kalin, came into the picture. Kalin asked him if he was willing to play bass in a nameless death metal band and he confirmed without hesitation. Kalin wanted to do vocals also and then it was time to look for a second guitarist and a drummer. Ivan Ivanov, also a good friend of Kalin, was the first and the current person to become second guitar player. The three continued writing riffs and observing ideas and had a couple of songs done pretty fast. The tough part was finding an accurate drummer to play something as challenging as death metal. After going through several players, the band understood that it will be a hard time finding the correct guy. The band went through several name ideas and chose CONCRETE for a permanent solution. On April 18th, 2012 they released their first self-titled EP "Annihilation Of Humans", containing 5 songs. Even though it was recorded in poor conditions it was a strong start and was greatly appreciated by both fans and media. The band used a drum machine for that release. In the summer of 2012 CONCRETE was introduced to Ivo Ivanov (Lord Curse), formerly of a local thrash metal band, named Ira Deum. Kalin, Zhivko and Ivan decided to take a test rehearsal with Ivo and things came out pretty good right from the start. Many shows with local bands followed including opening acts for a couple of foreign colleagues both in venues and open air. In November 2014, founding member Ivan Ivanov (rhythm guitar) decided to part ways with the band. The post was filled soon enough by Peter Dimitrov. The band remained in that lineup until June 2018, when drummer Ivo Ivanov left the band due to personal reasons. His position is filled by Pavlin Nikolov since then. Currently, CONCRETE is located in its hometown Shumen, playing shows and constantly working over new material of PURE DEATH METAL. Check out this video!

Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2021/09/20/evoking-winds-towards-homestead/     The reissue of an album is usually a cause for celebration; it often means that an album that been out of print has been given a new lease of life and that is the case with ‘Towards Homestead’, the 2008 debut album by Evoking Winds.                 ‘Towards Homestead’ is an album which shows Evoking Winds at their most primal and primitive as the folk metal band explore tales from their native Belarus through a haughty mixture of black metal blast beats and riffs juxtaposed with folk instruments. This means that tracks such as ‘Oh Black Raven, Leave Me’, ‘Yurja’ and ‘Arrow’s Burial’ hum with prehistoric tones of the endless forests of Eastern Steppes that have all the appeal of worshipping at the altar of Finntroll as well as Wardruna. Naturally, with this being the first offering from Evoking Winds, it does mean that the band are wearing their influences heavily on their sleeve as the band try to find their place within the world. However, this gives ‘Towards Homestead’ a rather likeable quality, it is simple and humble, sticking to what it knows without stepping out beyond the realms of its comfort zone.                 It is good to have ‘Towards Homestead’ readily available again, it also allows Evoking Winds to reach an audience that may not be familiar with their work. This album won’t be for everyone, but folk metal fans who like swathes of black metal should check this release out. - Metal Digest FFO: Moonsorrow, Summoning, Finntroll, Finsterforst, Equilibrium Release Date: August 10, 2021 Atmospheric metal meets folklore fantasy in music by Evoking Winds. It’s a mixture of stormy blast beats with an epic ambiance and a healthy dose of Eastern Europe’s dark tales. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="OHmgvAmNmXU"] Bio:The band was originally founded by Artyom Prishchepov together with Ivan Sereda in Belarus in 2008 as the way close friends created music together. They composed music for years just for fun and inspiration, and the band has eventually grown: adding Yaroslav Korotkin on vocals and bass, Sergey Shulzhenko (keys and orchestration), Dmitry Sarychau on guitars, and Alexander Cherepanov doing vocals. Today the musicians live around the world: Belarus, USA, China, Russia - and collaborate online. Recently they decided to re-mix and issue all of their music digitally available for everyone for free, featuring James Knoerl on drums and programming. Starting with the very first works they walk the journey again opening new chapters together. This sense of friendship is something everyone really started to value during pandemics and isolation.

In the summer of 1998 the band gathered the complete set of musicians and started a serious work on their first songs. A year later the band realized these songs into their first demo. Enthrallment distinguish from most of the death metal bands in the world with their originality. You never know what these guys will serve you in the next album. Also , they precisely mix USA and European death metal together with some kind of a more different sound and this makes them unique in the genre of death metal.Many musicians have played in the band and every one of them has left their style in the band's music and it can be seen in each release of the band. Their first concerts outside the borders of Bulgaria happened in the year 2004 when on the Serbian festival “Hellhammer” they shared the stage with the Czech band Hypnos and only a few days earlier they had gathered a great number of fans in one of the clubs for extreme music in Bucharest. They also had concerts on the same stage with Destruction, Obituary, Deicide, Vital Remains, Napalm Death, Mystic Circle and many more...It’s also worth mentioning their tour with  Malevolent Creation, Rotting Christ and Rotten Sound. In 2011 they played on the Obscene Extreme Festival. Enthrallment were formed in times of political and social turbulence. In these times the band went through a lot of changes and now they are moving forward, keep on creating new works of depravity.
