Finnish symphonic death metal band Ephemerald is releasing their debut album on February 19th 2021 and now they present new single from the upcoming album. Listen to "All There Is" on music services:Spotify: http://spoti.fi/3oGaaWEApple Music: https://apple.co/3bK56wGDeezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/album/191773462Tidal: https://listen.tidal.com/album/165341181Amazon: https://amzn.to/38IPYxQBandcamp: https://ephemerald-metal.bandcamp.com/ Lyric video: https://youtu.be/ORT8BTqketU The song represents a calmer, almost ballad-like atmosphere with acoustic guitars and clean vocal harmonies. Lyrics are about the importance of living in the moment; yet people are often more prone to clinging onto the past or their fearful assumptions of the future, thus refusing to see and accept the world as it is. EPHEMERALD was formed in 2016 by Joni Snoro (ex-Frosttide), Lauri Myllylä (Voidfallen), Vesa Salovaara (Vorna) and Juho Suomi (Apocryfal). Later they joined forces with Tuomo Sagulin (Mechanik Project). The band creates epic yet furious and straightforward metal music from the hearts of its creators. Preorder the album: http://bit.ly/Ephemerald_Pre-order   EPHEMERALD - All There Is Track list: 01.

Traditional metal band TANTIVY have teamed up with Metal Injection to stream the entirety of their new release "Eyes In the Night". The album is set to be released this Friday. Listen to the album: https://metalinjection.net/av/full-album-stream/tantivy-bring-back-old-school-thrash-with-eyes-in-the-night With the drive of Motörhead, the hooks of Judas Priest, and the thrash acrobatics of Toxic Holocaust, Wisconsin duo Tantivy is chomping at the bit of traditional heavy metal.  Guitarist, bassist, and vocalist Adam Geurink is joined by drummer Jon Zimick in a musical match made in hell.    While certainly a departure from Guerink's crust-influenced outfit WARDEHNS, Tantivy is no less imposing.  Its rousing guitar lines, pummeling drums, and clever composition are complemented by Guerink's gritty vocal delivery.  In five short tracks, Tantivy -- named for an archaic word meaning a rapid gallop or ride -- makes an impression that can often take years to muster.  When Geurink snarls "Heavy metal's all I bleed" at unknown antagonist in the track "Houndin Ya," you know it's the truth.  Tantivy will release a teaser single later this year and their debut EP is expected in January 2021.  Trad metal fans, don't sleep on this powerful new band.  FFO: Judas Priest, Dio, Toxic Holocaust, Motörhead, old Metallica, 3 Inches of Blood Lineup Adam Geurink: vocals/guitars/bassJon Zimick: drumsAlbum Credits Recorded by Elliot LozierMixed and mastered by Trevor William Church at Church RecordingsConnect with Tantivy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tantivyrocknroll/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tantivyrocknroll/ Less

CB3 (Charlotta's Burning Trio) are streaming their Live Sessions via The Obelisk.  The album is set to release  on The Sign Records on January 15th, 2021 and features three tracks from the band’s latest release Aeons, clocking in at 28 minutes of mind-bending cosmic jams.  Listen: https://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2021/01/13/cb3-aeons-live-session-review-stream/ About CB3 Stars above, evil below, and fire in between. A trinity in peace for aeons. CB3 (Charlotta's Burning Trio) is here to bring you on a journey with their explosive rock jams and mind-bending cosmic soundscapes. CB3 brings the spirit of psychedelic music to the 21th century with a style that ranges from heavy psych rock jams like Jimi Hendrix to delicate atmospheric passages akin to Pink Floyd and progressive rhythms that hearken King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra. Since their formation in 2013, CB3 has shared stages with bands like Monolord, Kikagaku Moyo, Hällas, Firebreather, Kaleidobolt and Spaceslug. Their live shows and music have been critically acclaimed by press outlets worldwide.  As HYMN Magazine put it, "These amazing musicians make the music sound more like it is performed by a symphony orchestra than a trio. The only thing I wish, after being completely mesmerized by the gig, is that it would have been longer."   Lineup Charlotta Andersson - GuitarPelle Lindsjö - Bass Natanael Salomonsson - DrumsConnect with CB3 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottasburningtrioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cb3jams Less

WELICORUSS' Documentary - "Welicoruss - 15 years of Madness" Out Now! On January 11th, Symphonic black metallers WELICORUSS premiered their "Welicoruss - 15 years of Madness" documentary. The documentary is available in Russian, English, German and Czech subtitles. Watch the documentary here: https://youtu.be/-i_APQDIqdw The band stated about the documentary:"We have been waiting for this moment, our long-awaiting documentary (or as we used to call it "DVD" in broadcastings, although this medium has lost its relevance) is out now, dedicated to our 15th anniversary and it's called "15 years of madness" in 4 languages (Russian, English, German and Czech)! This`s quite voluminous work, including footage taken from the very begining of Welicoruss and first concerts in Russia, opinions of musicians playing in Welicoruss at different times, colleagues of metal scene, business guys, fans, backstage footage and much more! This documentary, we think, is interesting not only for Welicoruss' fans, but also for heavy music lovers who want to learn more about metal scene in Russia (Siberia), to follow Alexey's complicated path from distant Siberia to Prague and to know what is behind band`s music and conception. We have been waiting for that moment for a long time, we hope you too!"

It’s as if Zebadiah Crowe are trying to make up for lost time after their eight years of silence, or maybe they are just bursting out of their sickly skins with cruel and rancid imaginings. Whatever it is they keep on twisting the knife, turning the screw and ramping up the pain and insanity. First came the unforgiving onslaught of the Host Rider, then, slavering in its hoof prints, the crawling horror of The Cloven Hand, which drew the last blighted year to a close. Now, before the sweat of your nightmares has had time to cool, Lych Milk comes calling, scratching at your door with its filthy, broken claws... This rapacious succubus offers up three more twisted sonic offspring from the lair of Zebadiah Crowe; three tracks that have been broken down into a twisted mass of agony and then rebuilt with wanton wickedness, given new stomach churning forms that will lead you ever further into the realms of shadow and fear. A video has been created to accompany opening track ‘Gallows Wood’, which fuses disturbing footage of Zebadiah Crowe in their dungeon domain with images from the game Valfaris - a heavy metal infused 2D action-platformer featuring brutal combat, deadly enemies, stunning pixel art and a savage soundtrack created by ex-Celtic Frost man, Curt Victor Bryant. Does the Lych Milk triumvirate of terrors represent the most vicious, screaming assault yet from Zebadiah Crowe? Stare into the darkness once more and decide for yourself... The putrid effluence of Lych Milk will be outpoured on February 5th, a thick, black stream of heart-stopping destruction. Another round of mechanised, senseless, soulless violence is about to begin.
