Winter Eternal, a name that resonates deeply within the melodic black metal realm, returns triumphantly with their fourth studio album, "Echoes of Primordial Gnosis." Released by HELLS HEADBANGERS, this album is a beautifully crafted piece of art that builds upon the sonic legacy established by their 2021 release, "Land of Darkness." With this new offering, Winter Eternal not only solidifies their place in the modern metal pantheon but also ventures boldly into broader musical territories. "Echoes of Primordial Gnosis" is an album that intricately weaves the threads of ancient mythologies with the visceral intensity of black metal. Each track is a tribute to a legendary figure, ranging from Greek goddess Athena to the Scottish hero William Wallace, giving a thematic depth that is both rare and compelling in today’s metal scene. This thematic richness is matched by a sonic palette that has expanded dramatically since the band’s earlier works. The inclusion of acoustic and clean-stringed instruments, such as cello, lends a dynamic contrast to the otherwise blistering black metal assault. These elements do not merely serve as interludes but are integral to the structure of the songs, enhancing their emotional gravity. The session drums, performed by V. Nuctemeron of Sacral Rage and Chainsaw fame, add a warm, analog feel to the album, aligning perfectly with the intensity and passion that the genre demands. Soulreaper, the driving force behind Winter Eternal, has elevated his game significantly on this album. His guitar work is nothing short of mesmerizing – a complex layering of melodic lines that intertwine and echo back, creating a labyrinthine soundscape that is both haunting and majestic. His vocal delivery, raw and full of anguish, is complemented by guest appearances from Alexandros of Macabre Omen and Hildr Valkyrie, whose clean vocals bring a poignant balance to the harshness of the traditional black metal screams. The album opens with the title track, "Echoes of Primordial Wisdom," which sets a high bar with its furious pacing and intricate melodies. This is followed by "Two Heavens as One," a song that draws inspiration from Miyamoto Musashi and carries a martial urgency reflective of the legendary samurai’s dual-blade style. "Battle Cry" honors William Wallace with anthemic ferocity, while "The Serpent's Curse" brings attention to lesser-known mythology with its reference to God Bida from Uganda. Perhaps the most intriguing track is the instrumental "Voices," which serves as a meditative pause in the middle of the album, allowing the listener to reflect on the narratives and themes explored thus far. Following this, "Bending the Fabric of Reality" explores more philosophical realms, showing the band’s versatility in tackling complex themes beyond historical or mythical figures. In closing, "Echoes of Primordial Gnosis" is not just an album; it's an expansive journey through time and mythology. It showcases Winter Eternal’s ability to blend fierce black metal with melodic and narrative depth. The production is pristine, ensuring that each layer of sound is articulated clearly, which is essential for music of such complexity. Winter Eternal’s latest effort is a masterclass in how to evolve within the black metal genre without losing the intensity and darkness that defines it. "Echoes of Primordial Gnosis" is a significant step forward for the band, promising to captivate both old fans and newcomers with its epic scope and fierce beauty. This album is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of black metal and the potential of music to tell stories as old as time itself. 666% - Zach Moonshine - Metal Devastation Radio Echoes of Primordial Gnosis by WINTER ETERNAL MORE INFO:www.hellsheadbangers.comwww.facebook.com/hellsheadbangerswww.hellsheadbangers.bandcamp.comwww.instagram.com/hellsheadbangerswww.twitter.com/hellshead666www.youtube.com/user/hellsheadbangers666 Less

Hellbutcher Emerges From the Shadows: A New Dawn in Black Metal From the frostbitten realms of the Swedish black metal scene, a new beast has arisen, and it comes wielding the nefarious name of Hellbutcher. This formidable black metal outfit, featuring the notorious Hellbutcher of Nifelheim fame, is set to unleash its eponymous debut album, "Hellbutcher," on May 31st via Metal Blade Records, signaling a ferocious continuation of a legendary legacy. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="a9C0FJ3YHnE"] Hellbutcher, known for his unrelenting spirit and commanding presence as the frontman of the once-revered Nifelheim, did not let the dissolution of his former band in late 2022 deter his musical journey. Instead, he swiftly rallied a crew of seasoned musicians, comprising old allies and fellow devotees of the metal craft. Together with guitarists Necrophiliac (also a member of Mordant) and Iron Beast, bassist Eld, and former Nifelheim drummer Devastator, Hellbutcher is not just a band; it’s a renewed mission to deliver undiluted black metal. The upcoming album promises to be a whirlwind of old-school metal brutality, recorded across various studios in Sweden, including Devastator’s Red And Black Hall Drum Studio and Iron Beast's Chrome Studios. Opting to handle production and mastering in-house, Hellbutcher ensures that their sound remains unfiltered and fiercely true to their vision of what black metal should be. From the cacophony of "The Sword of Wrath," the album’s opener and first single, it is clear that Hellbutcher is here to reclaim and fortify the throne of black metal. The track is an homage to the giants of the genre like Venom, Bathory, and Mercyful Fate, while also nodding to the more straightforward heavy metal assault of bands like Iron Maiden and Motörhead. Hellbutcher describes the song as a reflection of his relentless pursuit to continue what he began with Nifelheim, enveloped in metaphorical lyrics and relentless riffs. The tracklist of the album reads like a litany to the dark arts, with titles like "Perdition," "Violent Destruction," and "Satan’s Power" promising an album teeming with themes of chaos, destruction, and unyielding darkness. The variety in vinyl editions — ranging from standard black to the more exclusive "Blood Stained Ice Splatter" and "Red Black Dust" vinyl — also indicates a release that values aesthetic and collectibility, catering to both audiophiles and dedicated fans of the genre. As Hellbutcher gears up to not only release this monumental album but also take their incendiary performances to stages worldwide, they promise an experience that will leave necks broken and the posers fleeing. The band's conviction is palpable, with Hellbutcher himself proclaiming the potential of this new lineup to surpass anything done with Nifelheim. With shared goals and a revitalized spirit, Hellbutcher is poised to set a new standard in black metal. With a reputation as formidable as their sound, Hellbutcher is ready to set the world aflame with their debut. For those brave enough to endure the inferno, pre-orders are already available at Metal Blade Records' website, with a range of formats to satisfy collectors and new fans alike. As May 31st approaches, the metal community awaits what is bound to be one of the most impactful releases of the year, heralding a revival of true black metal spirit. Stay tuned and keep up with the latest on Hellbutcher through their official channels, and brace for impact as this black metal titan reclaims its throne. Hellbutcher Track Listing:01.

Electric Valley Records is rolling out the red carpet for what is one of 2024's most anticipated releases in the stoner doom metal sphere. WyndRider's sophomore LP, "Revival," set to be unleashed both physically and digitally on June 7, delivers an invigorating surge of sonic potency, reinforcing the band's esteemed standing in the metal community. Following their acclaimed debut, WyndRider has not taken their foot off the pedal. Instead, they've geared up even more, harnessing the momentum of extensive touring and critical praise. "Revival" isn't just a title; it's a statement. Recorded once again under the meticulous ear of Danielle Fehr at The Wizard Productions, this album is a visceral exploration of their Southern roots, encapsulating the dualities of hope and despair that paint the landscapes of the Appalachian region. Track-wise, "Revival" is a journey through the rugged terrains of human and environmental narratives. "Forked Tongue Revival" sets the tone with its thunderous riffs and Chloe Gould’s commanding vocals, blending the mystique of the mountains with a biting critique of cultural facades. The single "Motorcycle Witches" is particularly standout, offering a heady mix of heavy, pulsating bass lines from Joshuwah Herald and gritty storytelling, while "Devil's Den" and "Remember the Sabbath" dive deep into the heart of Southern gothic tales and Sabbath-esque doom influences. Each track on "Revival" serves as a chapter in a larger story, with robust compositions that showcase Robbie Willis' masterful guitar work and Josh Brock's dynamic drumming, both of which anchor the album’s overarching themes of redemption and deceit. The production on the album is impeccably polished, with Fehr's mixing and mastering highlighting the band's evolution in sound and sophistication. The graphic work by Toxinfigure visually complements the album's thematic elements, weaving an aesthetic that is as haunting as it is enthralling. With appearances lined up at major festivals like Maryland Doom Fest and Gravitoyd Doom Fest, alongside a continuous touring schedule, WyndRider is not just riding the waves—they are making them. "Revival" solidifies their position as a beacon of heavy music, with a sound that’s both rooted and radical. Overall, "Revival" is a powerful follow-up that not only meets but exceeds the expectations set by WyndRider’s debut. It’s a deeply resonant record that speaks volumes of the band’s growth and their unflinching gaze into the abyss of their musical and cultural heritage. For fans of stoner doom, and indeed for any aficionado of heavy, meaningful music, "Revival" is an essential listen that promises to echo through the valleys and peaks of the genre. - 666% Zach Moonshine - Metal Devastation Radio Motorcycle Witches by WyndRider Album Credits:Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Danielle Fehr of The Wizard Productions in February 2024 in Bristol, TN.Graphic Artist:  Toxinfigure—Band Lineup—Robbie Willis – GuitarChloe Gould – VocalsJoshuwah Herald – BassJosh Brock – Drums Available Formats:Vinyl (Heavyweight 180g w/ Protective Plastic Sleeve): Black (250x), Color in Color / Orange in Clear Splatter Black Vinyl (220x), Ultra LTD “Rider Edition” Vinyl (30x), and Test Press Vinyl (5x); CD; and Digital.  Pre-Order (Starts 24 April at 18:00 CET):https://www.electricvalleyrecords.com/product/wyndrider-revivalhttps://evrecords.bandcamp.comhttps://www.gloryordeathrecords.com/shop/electric-valley-records (for North America) Upcoming Shows:5/02 - Memphis, TN - Hi Tone5/03 - Arlington, TX - Growl Records 5/04 - Houston, TX - Gravitoyd Doom Fest at Black Magic Social Club5/05 - New Orleans, LA - Siberia 5/24 - Knoxville, TN - BrickYard Bar & Grill5/26 - Charlotte, NC - TBA  6/08 - Johnson City, TN - The Hideaway 6/20 - Indianapolis, IN - Black Circle6/21 - Akron, OH - Buzzbin 6/22 - The Maryland Doom Fest at Cafe 6116/23 - New York, NY - The Bowery Electric  7/05 - Asheville, NC - The Odd 7/11 - Nashville, TN - Springwater 7/12 - London, KY - Holler of Doom Fest at Mountain View Farm 7/13 - Cincinnati, OH - The Comet WyndRider:https://www.facebook.com/WyndRiderOfficialhttps://www.instagram.com/wyndriderofficialhttps://wyndrider.bandcamp.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOts4G0pL7SL0SQ8xji-FBwhttps://www.tiktok.com/@wyndriderhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/wyndrider/wyndrider Electric Valley Records:https://linktr.ee/electricvalleyhttps://www.electricvalleyrecords.comhttps://evrecords.bandcamp.comhttps://www.facebook.com/electricvalleyrecordshttps://www.instagram.com/electricvalleyrecordshttps://www.threads.net/@electricvalleyrecordshttps://twitter.com/electric_valleyhttps://www.youtube.com/@ElectricValleyRecords Less

Photo By Joey Maddon Gatecreeper, the Arizona-based death metal band, has just released their new single "Masterpiece of Chaos" from their eagerly anticipated album "Dark Superstition," slated for release on May 17. This track promises to deliver all the raw power and intensity that fans have come to expect from the band. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="dXbXeQhdZRA"] The new single plunges listeners into a nightmarish vision described by vocalist Chase Mason as "a broken mirror with an ominous creature that lives within the fragmented web of glass." The song is both a contrast and a complement to the more melodic directions explored in other tracks of the upcoming album. "Masterpiece of Chaos" features the band’s signature heavy riffs and aggressive vocals, making it a perfect teaser for what's to come. "Dark Superstition," Gatecreeper’s third full-length album and their debut on Nuclear Blast, is described as more concise, melodic, and memorable than their previous works. The album explores themes of the supernatural, divination, and the fear of the unknown, intertwined with personal experiences of the band members. The title references the Superstition Mountains in Arizona, known for their haunting beauty and legendary tales. For this album, Gatecreeper collaborated with drummer and songwriter Fred Estby of the Swedish death metal band Dismember, whose influence permeates the record. The album was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou of Converge at God City Studios in Salem, MA, promising a production that's both raw and polished. Amidst their new release, Gatecreeper will embark on a busy tour schedule starting this month with In Flames, followed by a headline tour across the West Coast and Southwest. The tour will include stops in major cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco, with support from bands like Undeath, Jarhead Fertilizer, and Final Gasp. Gatecreeper's steady rise in the metal scene since their formation in 2013 has been impressive. From their self-titled debut EP to their full-length albums "Sonoran Depravation" and "Deserted," the band has carved out a niche for themselves within the death metal genre. They have previously shared stages with major acts like Cannibal Corpse and Obituary, consistently building their reputation and fanbase with each performance and release. With "Dark Superstition," Gatecreeper is not just releasing an album; they are defining a pivotal moment in their career. The new single "Masterpiece of Chaos" is a clear indicator that this album is set to be a significant milestone in their ongoing evolution as a band. Fans can purchase tickets for the upcoming shows and find more information on the band’s official website.
