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
