Deathtronica Duo LUNA13 Signs New Record Deal With Indie Industrial Label COP International! Theatrical, Occult-Inspired Act From Los Angeles Plans Upcoming Album Release November 13 Unleashing Trademark Blend Of Electronica And Black Metal! See Video For Cover Of Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” Here [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="EOAMHGuqo2w"] Hailed as “the bass music scene’s Slayer,” dark lord duo LUNA13 look to spread their devilish delights in 2020 by signing to indie label COP International that will release the theatrical act’s upcoming LP on November 13. As the label home of Stabbing Westward, Deathline International and Suicide Queen, COP International welcomes the addition of LUNA13 to bring a dark side to the industrial imprint with an act that is as musically unique as it is unapologetically provocative. LUNA13's forceful Black/Bass/Metal style incorporates elements of electronica, black metal and industrial rock with the incredible ability to cross over from electronica to metal without using any guitars. Dr. Luna, the duo’s demented musical maestro creates the voluminous sound solely with synthesizers and distortion pedals by wrapping heavy distortion around sub-bass. Frontwoman Lilith Bathory brings the spectacle with brutal vocals and trance-inducing dance moves behind her devil horns. With a gripping aesthetic paying homage to domination and the occult and a strong live show heavy on theatrics, LUNA13 has become a favorite attraction in hallowed Los Angeles where they hail from as well as a memorable opening act for death metal, industrial and electronica projects including Possessed, Insane Clown Posse, Doyle, Skin Lab, Insomnium, Skold and Mushroomhead. LUNA13 has twice been named the best electronica/metal act by Akademia, has been hailed as one of the top 5 black metal bands to know by Worldwide Underground and was awarded metal band of the month by Metal Devastation Radio. While LUNA13 works on new music for the upcoming November album release, they are sharing a harrowing new cover of Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” that was released via Cleopatra Records. It’s the band’s first cover song and lives up to the hype. Listen to LUNA13’s previous albums and singles here: https://luna13music.bandcamp.com/music Says COP International founder Christian Petke, “LUNA13 is a perfect fit for our vision for the label. They are cutting edge in the truest sense of the word. My jaw hit the floor the moment I realized they don’t have string instruments in their setup. Yet they are heavy as fuck! We also adore the fact that they are actively creating community. When they asked another of our artists, Suicide Queen, to join them for their upcoming (and now delayed) tour I was touched. This was not a buy-in; they really dug the band. If there is anything to learn from our current predicament, it is the fact that we are better together than apart.” Dr. Luna adds, “LUNA13 is super excited about joining COP International. Not only are they amazing people and great visionaries, we are fans of many acts on their label. We are overjoyed to have our name shared with such awesome bands." Here is what the press has had to say about LUNA13: "The bass music scene may be looking at their very first realVenom or even Slayer”–London TV   “Hollywood CA’s Satanic Vampires, LUNA13 have served as Bass Metal ambassadors, keeping the spirit of dark music alive through shockingly grotesque performances and Electronic Bass Metal song-craft. This project is brutal, dark and visually stunning.”–Sleeping Bag Studios “Their peculiar, controversial and brutal mixture of Bass Music and Death Metal is truly original and unheard. Their courage in crossing boundaries between genres that are commonly worlds apart led them to be one of the most talked about emerging acts.”–Tuned Loud Dark Horse by LUNA13 About COP International The year 2019 was a crucial one for COP International as the label teamed up with legendary producer John Fryer to form a production company under the COP International umbrella. Fryer is producing and engineering the majority of the forthcoming COP catalog and also working as A&R in helping to select appropriate acts. “The level of craftsmanship, artistic talent and meticulous attention to detail is what sets John’s work a world apart,” says COP International founder Christian Petke. “After working with him on some remixes for COP and Deathline International's new album Pax Americana, I knew I found the perfect partner for COP International. When we first started talking, I brought up John’s relationship with 4AD where he was the principal engineer and producer. This is exactly what we have in mind for this collaboration. Scout, nurture and develop exceptional talent. Driven by the desire to create a body of work that speaks for itself. “ https://www.copint.com/ Find LUNA13 Online Website: www.luna13.net Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luna13official/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luna13official/ LUNA13/COP International Press Contact Selena Fragassi FR PR selena@fr-pr.net Less

The return of Dave McClain, who manned the drum throne from 1991 to 1997, and the addition of twenty-two-year old guitarist Joey Radziwill, alongside original members guitarist Wiley Arnett and vocalist/bassist Phil Rind, are integral facets of the record. Awakening was produced by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy), engineered by John Aquilino, and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Halford, Armored Saint). To preview and purchase Awakening, please visit: metalblade.com/sacredreich"a steady campaign of mouth-watering riffs and shout-out choruses" - Metal Hammer"prove they're just as heavy and furious as ever...a gritty, sludgy take that pushes the confines of thrash itself for a highly unique and fist-pounding experience." - Revolver"while some contemporary maniacs might roll their eyes at the concept of Buddhist thrash, one listen to 'Awakening's burly, old-school sound will have them along for the ride" - Kerrang!"If there ever was a band that needed to return, it’s them. As an album, 'Awakening' lives up to its title in every conceivable way. In both content and form.

Today, Signal Rex announces August 28th as the international release date for Morta's striking debut album, Fúnebre, on digipack CD and cassette tape formats.Originally released on vinyl in a limited edition of 100 copies, Morta's Fúnebre was simply too good 'n' grimy to let languish in obscurity. Signal Rex steps forward to unleash this torrent of banging 'n' clanging anguish upon the worldwide underground, and for good reason.A power-trio comprising active members of the Spanish metal scene, Morta are first and foremost a BLACK METAL band, by definition and deed. Unremittingly ugly yet evincing an emotionalism that burrows ever deeper into the filth of the subconscious, Fúnebre expounds upon the rudiments of the band's first demo in 2017 with acidic aplomb. Remorselessly raw is their attack, and yet it's undeniably physical and PURE - literally, the sound of three persons playing together in the same room (dungeon?), which is all too much a rarity in nowadays "black metal." As such, they deftly shift from spiralingly violent hypnosis to scabrously headbanging segments, their riffing duly drawing the listener in with an eerily hummable quality. It would not be uncharitable to liken the latter to a romanticism unique to Morta's Spanish heritage.The crypts open again, and the torch has been relit: will you enter Morta's Fúnebre?Take the first step with the track "Sin Voz ni Rostro" HERE at Signal Rex's official YouTube channel as well as HERE at the label's Soundcloud. Cover and tracklisting are as follows: Tracklisting for Morta's Fúnebre1. Cadáver Perenne2. Introit Sabbat3. Sacrificio4. Sin Voz ni Rostro5. Infierno Fúnebre6. Oraculum Ab Necromantiæ7. Fuego y Hueso8.

ProgStock Presents Virtual Series ProgStock Festival, the American Northeast’s Only International Progressive Rock Festival, is proud to bring you the ProgStock Presents Virtual Series. The pandemic has closed music venues and brought in-person live music performances to a screeching halt. We don’t know how long we will have to wait before it will be truly safe to stage a festival, but we will be back! Meanwhile, we will be bringing music right to you with some great shows from artists performing live in their homes or home studios. The series will be presented every Saturday night, 5PM – 11PM US Eastern/2 pm-8 pm US Pacific Time, starting on August 1, 2020. Confirmed dates are also August 8, 15, 22, and 29. Direct Ticket Link for ProgStock Presents: https://www.stageit.com/ProgStock ProgStock Festival on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ProgStock The individual performances on StageIt are separate shows. Audience members will purchase a ticket to each performance individually, not the whole night as a block. Some shows will be 45 minutes and others will be 90, so we may have as few as three shows or as many as six on each Saturday night. StageIt is all about experiencing music in the moment, duplicating the live music experience as closely as possible. You have to be there to see it, just like you would in a venue, so shows are only available on their site during the performance window. Some of our artists may choose to capture their shows and make them available later on some other service and the ProgStock Festival crew may even capture some of the shows – with artist permission, of course – but the shows will not be available on StageIt outside the show window. Artists on the roster for August include: Rachel Flowers, Julie Slick, Jean Pageau of Mystery, Frogbelly & Symphony, Bob Richardson (Cell15), Jane Getter & Adam Holzman, Mile Marker Zero, Melanie Mau & Martin Schnella, Potter’s Daughter, Joe Deninzon, Harry Waters & Larry McNally (McNally Waters) and Mark ‘Truey’ Trueack & Sean Timms (Unitopia), with more to be announced...  Stay tuned for performance schedule.

L-R - Phillip Funderburk - Bass, David Nisoff - Guitar, Bobby Demoss - Vocals, Hunter Crews - Drums, Ben Kaiser - Guitar   Photo Credit - Matthew Wonderly North Carolina’s groove metal outfit WoR is gearing up to release their debut album “Prisoners” on August 7th via Bungalo Records/ Universal. Throwing in elements of thrash, metalcore, and even hardcore punk, everyone in the band has taken a different musical path and the variety of influences shows through in the unique and original sound.  It’s a little bit melodic and a little bit old school, and completely energetic. The new album “Prisoners” promises to be an extreme journey from start to finish, a metal album through and through. There are no clean guitars on the whole album, just heavy and groovy riffs. WoR shares their excitement for the release: “This album has been in the works for several years and we finally get to show you what we have been working on nonstop for the last year. From front to back, this album is meant to take you on a heavy metal journey. It features groovy tracks such as Predator, brutal songs such as Caged, and melodic anthems such as VI Kings. While the songs are groovy and meant to give your neck whiplash, the lyrics are deep and thought out. The messages behind these songs are ones of resilience and overcoming. If you enjoy heavy riffs, melodic overtones, and just straight-up angry and in your face METAL, this album is for you!” Through versatile styles, a wide range of metal awaits the listener. The first single from the album is “Predator”, a song that almost didn’t make the album. It was redone in the studio and WoR has released a video for it that is streaming now. There is something for metal fans from the entire spectrum to enjoy, especially those who like Pantera, Lamb of God and Machine Head. “Prisoners” will be available on August 7th, 2020.Watch the video for “Predator” on YouTube or Facebook or IGTV.Their single "Predator" is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play.

Their music combines aggressive riffs, harmonic leads, and tasteful breakdowns with the infectious anti-authoritarian lyrics of vocalist Bobby DeMoss. WoR was founded in 2018 by guitarist Ben Kaiser who at the time was finishing up his college football career playing offensive line at NC State. The band was initially an escape from the rigors of the sport, and at the end of his career, he decided to give the band a legitimate go. After cycling through a variety of members early on, WoR was joined by Bobby Demoss, the charismatic frontman who has the ability to draw in even the toughest crowd; his unique screaming style and passionate lyrics helped shape WoR’s groundbreaking identity from the get-go. In 2019, Phil Funderburk, the glue who keeps the band and the music together, joined on bass; David Nisoff, in charge of mind-blowing solos that capture everyone’s attention, joined as the second guitarist, and Hunter Crews, a consistent timekeeper and a seasoned veteran in the music business solidified the lineup as the bands’ drummer. By the spring of 2019, WoR had begun to debut their music at live shows throughout the southeast region of the United States and played with the likes of Upon A Burning Body, Atilla, and Warbringer just to name a few. Working collaboratively, WoR’s music focuses on various different current events using powerful lyrics to offer a unique insight into the things going on in our lives and in the world. After working closely with producer Joe Alonzo Potts and audio engineer Shaun Singerling, they plan to release their debut album “Prisoners” on August 7th, 2020, which features brutal tracks such as ‘Caged’ and ‘Predator’ in addition to melodic anthems such as ‘VI King’s. In 2020 and 2021, WoR has extensive tours scheduled to support the release of their debut album “Prisoners”. WoR’s live shows are extremely energetic with fan involvement being a common theme. Demoss does a phenomenal job of breaking down the fourth wall and getting the crowd involved at their shows making way for insane mosh pits. It is the band’s credo that they give it their all for whatever time they are on stage whether they are playing to 2,000 people or 200 people. Less

Today, evil metal savages Siege Column premiere the new track "Darkside Legions" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track hails from the band's highly anticipated second album, Darkside Legions, set for international release on August 15th via Nuclear War Now! Productions. Hear Siege Column's "Darkside Legions" in its entirety exclusively HERE.NWN! demons Siege Column return with their second long-play, Darkside Legions. Instead of jumping to new studios and engineers, the band continues to use simple equipment and production tools as they have in the past. If you are looking for something polished, advanced, or otherwise consistent with industry standards, prepare to be disappointed.What you have here, instead, is advanced songwriting, better vocal delivery, and savage energy across the board. Siege Column focused on solely making a great metal album that balances being unique and remaining familiar. That balance, combined with the band’s complete disregard for what their peers are doing, resulted in a unique record that is totally unlike what you hear in the “overground” metal world.Siege Column represent evil metal before subgenres put every style into a box and the period before there were clear lines of what extreme thrash could sound like. One listen of  Darkside Legions will make you understand that this is the kind of album you can put on and accidentally crash your car to.  In the meantime, hear the brand-new title track "Darkside Legions" exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSinging.com. Also hear the previously revealed "Funeral Fiend" HERE at Nuclear War Now!'s Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows: Tracklisting for Siege Column's Darkside Legions 1.
