After many years of silence, the legendary death metal force of NECROPHAGIA, one of the very first death metal acts, has reawakened. The band’s revamped line-up have signed to Time To Kill Records for the release of the their final album, “Moribundis Grim”. In the years of 2016-2018, the band’s last line-up - Killjoy, Serge Streltsov, Shawn Slusarek and Jake Arnette - composed and started recording what became their final opus, “Moribundis Grim”. Unfortunately in 2018 Killjoy passed away before finishing the album. In 2022 with the help of special guests and former Necrophagia members - John McEntee from Incantation, Titta Tani (ex Goblin) and Mirai Kawashima from Sigh - the album was finally completed. In a way, it is quite sensational to see another NECROPHAGIA album released at this point in time, meaning 40 years after their first demos were released!  Moribundis Grim by NecrophagiaBorn Of Death by Selfgod Less

Exploring the synergy between heavy metal music and extreme sports reveals a unique cultural fusion, highlighting how both fields intensify the human experience. This comprehensive article examines the intricate ways in which the raw energy and passion of heavy metal music not only complements but enhances the dynamic world of sports.  Through various sections, we’ll explore the distinct areas where these two spheres intersect, from anthems that energize arenas to the personal playlists of athletes, and how this connection permeates aspects like fashion and personal motivation. Emotional Resonance Between Music and Sports Heavy metal and sports both thrive on high levels of intensity that resonate deeply with their audiences. This shared emotional landscape is where fans and athletes find common ground, experiencing peaks of adrenaline and excitement. The aggressive soundscapes of heavy metal music, characterized by loud, powerful guitar riffs and energetic drumming, mirror the physicality and vigor found in sports.  For many athletes, this music genre becomes a vital part of their preparation and performance, offering a psychological edge by enhancing focus and elevating their competitive spirit. Soundtracks That Unify and Energize Sporting events are arenas where music and competition collide spectacularly, with heavy metal often serving as the soundtrack to these gatherings. Iconic tracks like Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” are staples, blaring from speakers to charge the atmosphere and rally the spirits of fans and players alike.  These anthems foster a sense of unity, bringing together diverse groups under the powerful, pulsating rhythms of heavy metal, setting an electrifying tone for the games. Inspiration and Motivation From Heavy Metal The influence of heavy metal music extends into the personal lives of many athletes, who draw inspiration from its energetic beats. Figures like Chris Jericho, a professional wrestler from AEW and the lead singer of Fozzy, seamlessly blend his musical and athletic passions, using heavy metal to fuel his training and performances.  Likewise, MMA fighter Dan Hardy channeled the vigor of heavy metal into his preparation and combat strategies, demonstrating how deeply music can inspire and motivate in sports. Heavy Metal as a Training Soundtrack: Boosting Athletic Performance Across various sports, heavy metal music is a popular choice for training sessions. Its driving rhythms and aggressive lyrics provide an auditory stimulus that helps athletes push through tough workouts.  Weightlifters, bodybuilders, and even endurance athletes like long-distance runners and triathletes, often utilize heavy metal to sustain energy and concentration during their training, finding that this music helps them achieve peak performance and set new personal bests. Heavy Metal and Extreme Sports: Amplifying Risk and Adrenaline Extreme sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and BMX biking naturally align with the intensity of heavy metal music. These high-risk activities are enhanced by the music’s powerful energy, which complements the daring nature of the sports. Events like the X Games often feature live metal bands, underscoring the deep connection between these music and sporting cultures. Influence on Sports Fashion: Aesthetic Synergies The aggressive, rebellious spirit of heavy metal also finds its way into sports fashion, influencing the styles and attire of athletes and fans. This fusion is visible in the prevalence of black leather, band t-shirts, and skull motifs at sporting events.  In combat sports, athletes frequently don attire that features heavy metal band logos or designs that reflect the genre’s distinctive aesthetic, enhancing their persona and connecting with a like-minded audience. The relationship between heavy metal music and extreme sports in North Carolina is not just about shared adrenaline; it’s a cultural fusion that amplifies the spectator experience. Fanatics Sportsbook NC taps into this energy, providing a platform where enthusiasts can not only watch but also participate in the action by betting on outcomes, deepening their connection to the sports they love. A Symphony of Intensity and Passion The interplay between heavy metal and sports illustrates a shared landscape of intensity and passion. This synergy not only enhances the experience for athletes and fans but also fosters a unique cultural intersection.  As heavy metal continues to inspire and motivate, it remains a vital part of the sports world, enriching every game and performance with its powerful sound. Whether at a live event or during a personal workout, the influence of heavy metal in sports is a testament to the profound impact that music can have on performance and community. Less

The album incorporates elements of medieval rock, alternative rock, and symphonic rock/metal, among others. "Fairytales" takes listeners on a journey through fairyland, starting off with heavy rock beats and guitars before transitioning to a more calm and moderate tone towards the end. Despite these changes, the album retains Cradle of Haze's signature style, with mastermind Thorsten Eligehausen handling all aspects of writing, composition, and recording. As a special surprise, "Fairytales" includes interpretations of songs from the repertoire of the sister project "Inception of Eternity." The album, mixed and mastered in the band's in-house sound lab, will be released via their own label, "darkSIGN-Records."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NIRO KNOX Reveals New Video "Right Next Door To Hell" at Bravewords! Get ready to immerse yourself in the raw emotion and electrifying energy of Niro Knox as he unveils his debut album, Save Me. Born out of a lifetime of experiences, struggles, and triumphs, Save Me is a testament to Niro Knox's resilience, creativity, and unwavering passion for music. Niro Knox is a true enigma, a singer, songwriter, and phenomenal guitarist with a story unlike any other. Born in Israel and raised in Nigeria, Niro's journey through life has been anything but ordinary. From falling in love with rock 'n' roll at a young age to serving in the army and struggling with depression, Niro's experiences have shaped him into the artist he is today. At sixteen, Niro discovered the transformative power of music when he stumbled upon Pink Floyd's "Coming Back To Life" during a dark period in his life. The song inspired him to seek psychiatric help and ultimately led to his discharge from the army. Years later, Niro found himself working a myriad of jobs, from pizza delivery to IT engineering, all while pursuing his passion for music. Save Me is a reflection of Niro's journey, featuring tracks that explore themes of love, loss, resilience, and redemption. From the raw emotion of "Fire In The Hall" to the biting commentary of "F*cking Crazy," each song offers a glimpse into Niro's soul and showcases his exceptional songwriting talent. Recorded at Snap Studios in North London, Save Me is a sonic masterpiece that combines elements of hard rock, blues, and alternative rock to create a sound that is uniquely Niro Knox. With powerful vocals, searing guitar riffs, and poignant lyrics, the album is a testament to Niro's musical prowess and artistic vision. Save Me will be released on June 24, 2024, but fans can get a taste of what's to come with the videos for the singles "Right Next Door To Hell" and "Save Me"; both are available at Bravewords.
