As promised, instrumental Post-Doom quartet CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC will release their sixth album on October 31, 2019, on Halloween. The new record 'Second Sight' features two 20-minute songs on two sides of vinyl and is the second of two CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC records out this year. Consider 'Second Sight' to be Part 2 of a two record set, which sees the band maintaining their “Riffs Rule All” credo, with added doses of introspection by way of mixed tempos, spacy interludes, jazzy breaks, and epic finales that started with 'Evil Eye'. As with its predecessor, each song is divided into three parts and explores the worlds of Lesser and Greater Magic, as inspired by The Theory and Practice of Satanic Magic, which is part of The Satanic Bible. 'Second Sight' Tracklist:Second SightBlack Mass Lesser Magic (first track "Second Sight") - “consists of the wile and guile obtained through various devices and contrived situations, which when utilized can create change in accordance with one’s will.” Greater Magic (second track "Black Mass"), also known as Ritual Magic - “consists of the performance of a formal ceremony, taking place, at least in part, within the confines of an area set aside for such purposes and at a specific time.” Guitarist Steve Scavuzzo states:"Despite the mystical mellowness the name implies, Second Sight is actually the most aggressive Clouds Taste Satanic record to date. Not sure when that happened, but at some point the doom turned angry."Also like its predecessor, the album recordings for 'Second Sight' were engineered and mixed by Ben Rice at Degraw Sound in Brooklyn, and mastered by Alan Douches (High On Fire, Converge, Mastodon) at West West Side Music. The cover and inner sleeve art are original pieces by Goatess Doomwych whose work has graced numerous doom music covers and artwork posters, including albums by Dead Witches.Doom or Be Doomed…https://cloudstastesatanic.bandcamp.com/album/second-sight RELEASE SCHEDULE:-Digital Pre-Order - September 19th-Test Pressing Pre-Order - October 3rd-Vinyl Pre-Order - October 10th-CD Pre-Order - October 17th-Album Release - October 31stPHYSICAL FORMAT INFO:(All art by Goatess Doomwych)Test Pressing: 15pcs, Hand numbered, Special Edition Jacket Hand Silk-Screened in Black & Metallic Silver w/ original "Test Pressing" cover art.Limited “Halloweed Edition” Vinyl Package: 100pcs, 12” Ultra-Clear Vinyl w/ Exclusive Deep Purple & Black Splatter.

These Post-Doom Instrumentalists have steadily built a reputation as one of the few truly great DIY riff-heavy underground bands playing today. Patiently and deliberately developing a unique sound that melds riff-dominated Stoner Rock with Heavy Doom, their live show is a multi-sensory atmospheric display, offering a true experience and companion to their albums.In 2014, the band released their debut album, 'To Sleep Beyond the Earth'. The debut, along with second album 'Your Doom Has Come' (2015), third album 'Dawn of the Satanic Age' (2016), fourth full-length 'The Glitter of Infinite Hell' (2017), and their most recent 'Evil Eye' (2019) all demonstrate the band has no intentions of slowing down. The band celebrated its fifth year anniversary in 2018 by releasing 'In Search of Heavy', a four CD Box Set.All Clouds Taste Satanic releases have received praise from such illustrious publications as Decibel Magazine and across the internet via Invisible Oranges, CVLT Nation, Doomed & Stoned, The Sludgelord, and many, more.In 2019, the band has retained solid footing without falter, soon to achieve a bold goal of releasing two albums in one year. 'Evil Eye' came out April 30th (Walpurgis Eve), and we now await 'Second Sight' on October 31st (Halloween).  Upcoming Live Dates:Oct. 31 - Brooklyn, NY - Lucky 13 Saloon (Album Release Show)https://www.facebook.com/events/2535343586699910/  MORE:https://cloudstastesatanic.com/Bandcamp - https://cloudstastesatanic.bandcamp.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CloudsTasteSatanic/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cloudstastesatanic/Twitter - https://twitter.com/SatanicCloudsSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/5QidF8yXlvTyGkDy24JImYYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvVu8mcXrE2eVjq_ApcGBmw Less

A few years ago, Gallia was founded as a musical project, but soon outgrew that term.Nowadays, Gallia is a five-person symphonic metal band from Belgium with originalsongs and a strong passion for music.Gallia’s songs are composed by lead guitarist Yannick. He is one of the founders ofGallia and the creative brain behind the band. He started with music theory and clarinetat a young age, and discovered the joy of being on stage and making music. Next to hissolo project where he writes symphonic pieces, he started Gallia and hopes to bring joyto others through the music the band works on.Davy is the rhythm guitarist that supports the lead guitar. Davy started in 2011 withmaking music, when he was first handed an electric guitar. He now translates hispassion for the metal genre to the songs of Gallia. Ever since he has been a fixture inthis band.The bass melody is played by Laurens. Since his teenage years, Laurens has been afan of hard rock and metal genres, and founded Gallia together with Yannick. Laurenspicked up the bass guitar and hasn’t put it down since. He plays with a lot of enthusiasmand occasionally ventures out to vocals.The lead vocalist, however, is Elyn. She joined Gallia in 2015. She has a background inmusicals and experience with classical singing, but isn’t afraid of the challenge thatmetal brings. Since she joined, she has also picked up writing lyrics for Gallia.The band relies on the rhythm of Dieter, Gallia’s drummer. He started with a localmarching band, and after that played for local band Clouds of Gravity. He took a breakfrom drumming to focus on his studies, but recently picked up his drumsticks again andjoined Gallia.The technical side and general management falls on the shoulders of Joachim.

[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="1T-1CiNC5pM"] About Casket Robbery:If you don't find yourself moving to this you should at least feel dirty for listening. The undeniable grooves and hooks coupled with conceptual vocal brutality make Casket Robbery the next level force of death metal insanity.Casket Robbery quickly gained national attention with their debut album "Evolution of Evil" released in 2016 and have since established themselves as a brutal, heavy hitter in the live show realm. Their debut album was mixed by Chris Wisco (Novembers Doom, Jungle Rot) and has been generating numerous great reviews for their trademark huge riffs and unstoppable grooves. Tour dates quickly followed to promote the release. Casket Robbery continues to unleash their intense, high energy show across the U.S. fueled by their relentless work ethic and "Get Shit Done" attitude. With the release of their follow up EP, “The Ascension", in 2017 they caught the attention of Combat Records/David Ellefson/Thom Hazaert to be included on their legendary Bullets Vol. 1 sampler. They can also be found on Ellefson’s EMP Label Group Sampler. The EP brought on a series of relentless US headline tours to carve out their reputation as a veteran touring band. Notable shows include Full Terror Assault Open Air Festival, Milwaukee Summerfest, and opening for bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Jungle Rot, Psycroptic, and more . 2019 marks the release of their single and music video for the track “From Hell”. Gaining attention from Kerrang!, generating positive reviews, boosting their streaming and digital sales, and projecting them into the perfect position to release a follow up to “The Ascension”.
