Swedish electro-industrial metallers Rave the Reqviem have released their new single 'Synchronized Stigma', the second to be taken from their epic new album The Gospel Of Nil.

Check out the video:

The single is available as a limited edition laser-engraved, lathe-cut clear 7" vinyl as well as an extended digital EP with industrial-metal remix by PreEmptive Strike 0.1, and club version by Chainreactor.

Watch the first single, 'Mono Heart' here: 

Initially founded as a one-man project, Rave the Reqviem is now a 5-person behemoth, including the dual mother-son vocal team of Carola and frontman Filip Lönnqvist. The first album as a full group, The Gospel of Nil treads the fine line between industrial metal, heavy electronica and mainstream rock. Besides the album-opener 'Azalea' unveiled above and the single 'Mono Heart', The Gospel Of Nil features a further seven full-length industrial-metal masterpieces sandwiched between the album’s atmospheric intro and outro – endpieces.

Rave the Reqviem are a truly exhilarating and genre-breaking act, whose success with their debut self-titled album propelled the band to headline tours in Eastern Europe and Russia and festival appearances in Sweden and the UK. A smash hit, the album was the fastest and best-selling debut on DWA's roster.

Greek prog/tech metal band Tardive Dyskinesia have unveiled the new video to 'Savior Complex' from their acclaimed new LP, Harmonic Confusion (released September 09).

Watch the adventurous new video here

Prog and technical metal combine in an enthralling and unique manner with Tardive Dyskinesia's new album, perfectly capturing the band's unique position on the threshold of West and East, old and new. For fans of Meshuggah, The Ocean and Intronaut, Harmonic Confusion is variously aggressive, atmospheric, groovy, melodic, technical and minimal. Receiving praise from Prog, Metal Hammer, Metal Injection and more the Greeks are on a fast rise.

Having returned from a smashing set at this year's UK Tech-Metal Fest, the band have previously played alongside giants Mastodon, Meshuggah, as well as playing Europe's premier prog-metal festival, Euroblast. Boasting fans in Jocham Jacobs (ex Textures) Kelly Shaefer (Atheist) and George Kollias (Nile), the new album looks set to cement Tardive Dyskinesia's status as one of Greece's leading underground lights.

Brute Force: Overclock sets out to be the first ever DLC expansion released for a music album. Inspired by the DLC gaming concept of an-add on that enriches the original experience with new features and story lines, Brute Force: Overclock expands the musical universe created by the full-length album Brute Force released 1 April 2016. 

Check out the Overclock video here:

This is what the THE ALGORITHM mastermind Rémi Gallego has to say: 

"Overclock is a journey through the dark and warm corners of the Brute Force concept. Writing an album with a consistent atmosphere sometimes mean some ideas have to be left off or just cannot be exploited to their fullest. This first DLC expansion is a means for me to dive into some specific aspects of my style that were a bit absent from the release, and experiment and develop them like they deserve. More than a collection of tracks that didn't make it on the album, this EP is an extension, an another perspective on the Brute Force story."

Brute Force: Overclock is released today 25 November via FiXT and features three brand new tracks + a Brute Force remix from fellow producer Drumcorps.

Tracklist:

1. Idle
2. Overclock
3. Double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory
4. Floating point (Drumcorps Remix)

Two bundles for the DLC expansion are available, one with added midi files and one with the midi files and poster: https://fixtstore.com/collections/the-algorithm

http://bloody-disgusting.com/music/3415424/boris-blade-embark-violent-bloody-warpath-exclusive/

Having just completed a homeland tour supporting deathcore heavyweights Suicide Silence, the band are preparing to take on the world with this international release plus USA and European tours which are soon to be announced.

Named after an arms dealing gangster, Melbourne’s BORIS THE BLADE have earned a worldwide reputation of Australia’s most heavy act.

The release of their debut EP Tides of Damnation in 2011 on RTD Records / Siege Of Amida marked the beginning of the band's rapid ascent to the top tier of the Australian brutal music scene. The EP debuted at #1 on the iTunes metal chart followed by a series of national tours including Parkway Drive, all within the band’s first six months of existence.

The success of the EP was followed up with further extensive touring with Obey The Brave, All Shall Perish, Thy Art Is Murder and Bleeding Through on their final Australian tour.

2014 saw BORIS THE BLADE sign with Siege of Amida / Century Media for the worldwide release of their highly-acclaimed debut LP The Human Hive. This was followed by 2016 EP Tides of Damnation released via Century Media.

2017 will see BORIS THE BLADE release their new album Warpath via Siege Music.

Electronic artist/producer, KLAYTON, best known as Celldweller and Circle Of Dust, who recently launched the 80s inspired synthwave project SCANDROID, has premiered an official music video for "Shout," his cover of the #1 hit by Tears For Fears.

Originally premiered on popmatters.com, watch the "Shout" music video here: 

Klayton commented "I was moved the instant I heard Tears For Fears' 'Shout' on U.S. radio in 1985. I’ve always had the intention and desire to cover the song since then, but it really came into focus this year. What isn’t commonly known about the original song was that it was written during a time of political unrest and had political overtones. I felt that in light of the embarrassing circus that was the recent U.S. election, it was the perfect time for me to finally cover this song."  

Appearing on the self-titled Scandroid album, which debuted at #1 iTunes electronic album in the USA, the 'Shout' music video is out now.

"While remaining faithful to the spirit of the original, Scandroid has added a smart, contemporary vibe to the tune with brilliant blasts of synths and a loving nod to the pop sounds of the ‘80s." PopMatters.com

About Scandroid:
Scandroid, the modern Synthwave project from Detroit based artist/producer Klayton, best known for his multi-genre project Celldweller, is Klayton’s love letter to the 80s.

The debut, self-titled album features 15 tracks, ranging from the driving instrumental energy of "Destination Unknown," to melodic vocal tracks like "Awakening With You," "Aphelion," and "Neo-Tokyo," rounded out with the cinematic epics "2517" and "Singularity." As a child of the 80s, Klayton has also included a cover of the classic Tears For Fears song "Shout," that he has been patiently waiting to cover since he first heard the song on U.S. radio in 1985. The digital album concludes with a bonus remix from synthwave artist Waveshaper. The 72 minute album depicts themes of a cyberpunk future where humans and sentient robots struggle to find a connection in their dystopian world.
