Since their formation, Imminence's acoustic side has been an equally important component to their unique identity. 'Alleviate' is the fourth reimagined song from their latest album, written, produced and visualised solely by Eddie Berg (vocals/violin) and Harald Barrett (guitar).

The band comment:

"In celebration of the one year anniversary of the single release of 'Ghost', we now give you the final acoustic version from Heaven In Hiding. Written, recorded, produced and filmed by ourselves. For you. From Sweden with love."

Imminence's latest album, Heaven In Hiding, was released in 2021 via Arising Empire and saw them elevate to the next level in the global modern metal scene. The metal community even granted Imminence a brand new and unique genre: violincore. Singles 'Temptation', 'Heaven In Hiding', 'Ghost', 'Chasing Shadows' and 'Alleviate' were accompanied by outstanding visual production, with enormous success on YouTube and other streaming platforms.

Closing in on 100 million streams and over 250,000 online followers off the back of four albums, Imminence emerged from the global COVID-19 pandemic straight into a six-week long European headline tour. Always breaking boundaries and expectations, Imminence introduced the touring cycle with a full-acoustic show: Live In Concert Halls. Featuring a string quartet and other classical elements, Imminence brought the ensemble to six shows in Germany, resulting in a chart position in Eventims' fastest selling tours in the country. The Heaven In Hiding album tour followed, with venues tripling in capacity and additional dates announced due to phenomenal demand.

Imminence's touring has remained strong over the summer of 2022, appearing at Full Force, Graspop, Rock For People, Deichbrand, Nova Rock, Jera On Air and more.

The band will return to the stage in November and December, supporting In Flames alongside At The Gates and Orbit Culture.

Heavy alt-rock trio The Last Vinci, hailing from Ireland and Italy, have shared a video covering pop superstar Billie Eilish's hit 'you should see me in a crown'. The tongue-in-cheek, playful video is a rocked-up and down-tuned version of the original, as the band have fun re-creating Eilish's slick video with their own, less expensive means - featuring plastic spiders, green screen body suits and luscious wigs.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/42wwC1fhNFU

Frontman Alex comments: "We played this cover live on our 2019 EP tour and everybody loved it. So we kept the idea in our back pocket until the right moment came to release it. We love Billie's music; trying to recreate the video was just so much fun. We wanted to put our touch on this pop classic and we are proud of what we achieved. Working on it was pure joy."

The Last Vinci are on tour in the UK this week providing main support for labelmates Bicurious, before continuing their live run in Ireland next month.

*Supporting Bicurious

The Last Vinci are an alt-rock/stoner trio from Cork, Ireland, led by Alex Vinci, who is well known for his punishing low frequencies provided by a three-amp setup, his “give all you have” energetic attitude, and larger-than-life stage presence.

After a successful self-titled debut album and the subsequent The World, Enda Kenny, The Devil, The Vegans and All The Millenials Shit EP, the band took to their audience to help them create The Revolution is Made Together, The Last Vinci's second full-length release, through a successful crowd-funding campaign. Recorded in Liverpool with producer Tom Peters (Bicurious, Alpha Male Tea Party, God Alone), the album was released on March 4th, 2022 via Narrow Door Records, Alex Vinci's own label, with support from the likes of Alex Baker (Kerrang! Radio). Following the release, the Cork trio embarked on a run of UK and Ireland tour dates, including major festival appearances in Ireland.

Cathartic black metal outfit GAEREA have released a brand new video for their track 'Laude', taken from the group's freshly-released album Mirage, out now via Season of Mist.

The new offering celebrates GAEREA's upcoming tour dates with labelmates Gaahls Wyrd and Saor which kicks off later this week. Full dates are listed below.

Order the album here: https://shop.season-of-mist.com/list/gaerea-mirage

Stream the album here: https://orcd.co/gaerea-mirage

Behind black shrouds of obscurity and desolation, GAEREA deliver their odes in cascading maelstroms of aggression and beauty. Emerging from the age of pandemic to whatever awaits humanity next, the Portuguese horde remains on the frontlines of the next generation of extreme metal. With an EP and two albums to their name, GAEREA has rapidly distinguished themselves from the thousands of bands toiling away in the underground. Brewing their cauldron of sound from a recipe of pounding black-metal blast mixed with a touch of harrowed, reflective longing, many devotees of the darkened arts have flocked to their banner. With the emergence of third full-length album Mirage, those numbers are sure to grow.

Mirage, as its name suggests, describes the inability to trust what our senses are telling us and this could be construed as one of the album’s central themes. Rather than constrict their art to mythological references or anti-religious tropes, GAEREA instead plumb the depths of the human experiences of isolation and suffering. “The concept, the subject, of each song is everyone, you, me . . . if people were alone together in Limbo, in Mirage they are truly alone. Nobody is truly real until they are alone.”

Boasting a superior production that threads the needle between clarity and causticness, GAEREA unwaveringly admit their loyalty to countryman and producer Miguel Tereso of Demigod Recordings. The cover artwork for Mirage was created by the SAROS Collective.

With talons dipped in the inky blood of black metal and scraped across the flesh of human suffering, GAEREA is leading a charge into the future of darkness, and all those who find beauty and power in the dark side of existence would do well to take heed.

WE ARE GAEREA.

Southern California's Dayseeker have released their new single 'Dreamstate'. The track is taken from the band's upcoming album Dark Sun, due for release on 4th November 2022 via Spinefarm.

Check out the visualiser for 'Dreamstate' here: https://youtu.be/7abxfS42lqs

Pre-order Dark Sun here: https://dayseeker.lnk.to/DarkSun

"'Dreamstate' is about my experiences in dreaming of my father, who passed last July and truly feeling like we were communicating while it was happening," frontman Rory Rodriguez shares about the intensely person track. "It was a beautiful thing to experience on one hand... but also very heartbreaking and disorienting with my sense of reality on the other."

The album as a whole is incredibly contemplative, with Rodriguez adding: "Dark Sun is a collection of songs that deeply explored my personal life over the last two years. Most of it is written about my father's passing, about how it felt like the sun burned out the day he passed, and how the world is a little darker without him in it."

Dayseeker are a quiet killer. The band has steadily built a buzz over the past several years - and they have reached a tipping point. Dayseeker built themselves into a scene standout with 2019's Sleeptalk, which was hailed by Alternative Press as "a warm and welcome release to higher ground" and as "much needed fresh air into the post-hardcore scene." The album has gone on to accumulate over 150 million streams, and it positioned the band as a formidable force, one that is primed to take the next big leap. In 2021, the band dropped a deluxe version of Sleeptalk, featuring four reimagined versions of album tracks, which offered fans a fresh and unique take on songs they already love. It also demonstrated the depth and breadth of the band's creative vision, scope, and possibilities.

However, Dark Sun will be Dayseeker's moment and is set to catapult the band beyond the scene's stratosphere.

After a successful summer headliner run, Dayseeker will be back on the road this autumn supporting Bad Omens.

Modern progressive metal outfit Obsidious, featuring ex-members of Obscura, have released their single 'Lake of Afterlife', taken from their forthcoming debut album Iconic, out 28th October via Season of Mist.

Watch the video to 'Lake of Afterlife' here: https://youtu.be/ckzl1fLEczE
Pre-order Iconic here: https://shop.season-of-mist.com/list/obsidious-iconic
Pre-save Iconic here: https://orcd.co/obsidious-iconic

Obsidious comment on the single: "This song narrates, in first person, the experience of a person whose time has come, but who is being stopped by external factors. And this person just wants to go in peace, that he has accepted his fate and does not want to suffer. It is a situation we have often seen of denial on the part of relatives of a person who is being kept alive, prolonging the inevitable.”

The new song is the sixth single to be released from Iconic, following on from 'Devotion', 'Under Black Skies', 'Sense Of Lust', 'Iconic' and 'Bound By Fire'.

The Iconic cover artwork, which was created by Adrien Bousson, can be found below along with the track-list.

Wonderfully intricate and musically-accomplished, Iconic is technical but not officious. The group—featuring Linus Klausenitzer (bass), Rafael Trujillo (guitars), Sebastian Lanser (drums), and Javi Perera (vocals)—come from distinguished and lettered origins in Obscura, Alkaloid, Eternity’s End, and Juggernaut. Obsidious, however, are a different creature entirely.

Obsidious crystallised after Klausenitzer, Trujillo, and Lanser departed amicably from fellow German tech-metallers Obscura in 2020. Named after black volcanic glass, the group’s moniker exudes something dark, of fiery origin, in a state of final transformation. Metaphorically, the name Obsidious offers a nearly limitless platform for expression and advancement. However, it was only when the trio brought on newcomer Perera—whose growls and full-toned voice are first-rate—were the multi-national outfit officially codified. Interestingly enough, the newly-joined frontman couldn’t even meet his bandmates while the band wrote, recorded, and filmed videos for Iconic due to the pandemic. Yet, the technologically-apt foursome made it work.

“We consider ourselves the modern evolution of progressive and technical metal,” bassist Linus Klausenitzer says. “To name a few bands: Dream Theater, Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Protest the Hero, Periphery, and Haken. As such, our music asks for many different moods and vibes. Javi’s vocals reinforce that idea, adding meaning and drama to it. While we still work as session musicians, Obsidious is now our main priority.”

Throughout Iconic, Obsidious impress with their artistic inventiveness and creative expanse. The album breathes intensity but expands upon it with mellifluent dexterity. With Obsidious, there’s always a hook. The early release of and positive feedback from previous video singles illustrates these qualities well. Iconic builds upon a prestigious foundation, but its vision isn’t restricted to its tenets.

“This album does not have a concept per se in terms of lyrics or an underlying storyline,” vocalist Javi Perera comments. “The songs on this album touch on subjects of diverse nature, and there are even some songs that narrate personal experiences. But what I can consider as a common denominator in the album is the absence of constraints on a compositional or stylistic level, allowing us the freedom to shift between different musical genres as long as the song requires it. I always consider that we, as artists and musicians, are at the service of the music and not the other way around.”

Obisidious are ready to deploy their unique brand of hooky neoteric metal on Iconic. From Trujillo’s wickedly clever riffs and Lanser’s artful drumming to Klausenitzer’s superb counterpoint and Perera’s soaring vocals/venomous spits, songs like 'Under Black Skies,' 'Iconic,' 'Bound by Fire,' and 'Nowhere' brim with cool calculation and aggressive spontaneity. They storm normality not only musically and lyrically. The monolithic cover piece by French graphic artist Adrien Bousson (Rotting Christ, Khonsu) also transcends convention. Obsidious are poised for a breakthrough on Iconic. Prepare for metal’s modern metamorphosis!

Iberian death/black metal practitioners, Noctem, have revealed their latest single 'I Am Alpha', the opening psalm to the band's forthcoming full-length, Credo Certe Ne Cras, to be released 28th October via MNRK Heavy.

Check out the video for 'I Am Alpha' here: https://youtu.be/5MpyxifqoFY

Pre-order Credo Certe Ne Cras here: https://ffm.to/noctem-ccnc

The band elaborate: “Through its musical aspects and lyrical theme, this song delves deep into the depths of anguish, and embodies domination and the existential phenomenology of the human being. A transcendental journey, an awakening, and the realisation that we are the beginning of the end."

In spirit, presentation, and philosophy, Noctem shares much in common with Watain, Rotting Christ, Belphegor, and Gorgoroth, while sprouting their own decaying branch of a rotten metal tree. Any extreme band with Spanish-style nylon string guitars in their arsenal owes a sizable debt to them.

Noctem follow on from their previous career landmark in 2019, The Black Consecration, with a new definitive masterpiece, merging the crushing cacophony of angry, adrenaline-fuelled lust with newfound sorrows and mournful melodic might. Credo Certe Ne Cras, (I believe with certainty that there is no tomorrow), is a work of art. The album demands to be experienced as much as listened to, invoking ritualistic examination.

The blood and fire spewed forth by Noctem are visceral, fitting companions to their unrivalled sound, a vicious black metal assault enhanced with a signature Iberian flourish. Arguably the best-known extreme metal export from Valencia, Spain, Noctem's ungodly path put them in front of cult audiences around the world.

The first metal band from Spain to perform in China, Noctem's unrelenting touring saw them team up with the likes of Murduk, Batushka, Napalm Death, Immolation, and many more over the years. Dozens of prestigious extreme festivals added them to their line-ups including Bloodstock, Metal Embrace, Metaldays, and Festimetal Santa Catarina.

In 2002, Noctem made their putrid presence felt with their Unholy Blood demo. The God Among Slaves demo followed in 2007, building blood-thirsty anticipation for the band's proper full-length debut, Divinity (2009).

Oblivion came in 2011, followed by a deal with Prosthetic Records which birthed Exilium (2014) and Haeresis (2016), a concept album entered on the Spanish Inquisition. The Black Consecration (2019) expanded Noctem's themes of ancient civilisations and dark rites to encompass more of Beleth's philosophy, previously outlined in the his first book, 2017's Codex Ante-Morten, released the same year as the band’s homemade beer, A Cruce Salus.

In 2022 and beyond, Noctem take a massive leap forward on their thorn-ridden path, armed with blackened faith and righteous fury, thirsty with unquenchable bloodlust, and prepared to conquer. They arise again without redemption, embracing the chaos of modern times and unafraid of fate

UK rock quartet InTechnicolour have revealed their latest single / video 'Tokyo Dream', taken from their new album Midnight Heavyweight, due for release on 4th November 2022 via Small Pond Records.

Premiered via Metal Sucks, check out the video for 'Tokyo Dream' here: https://youtu.be/A3UVdu-b4HY

Stream / purchase & pre-order Midnight Heavyweight here: https://linktr.ee/InTechnicolour

The band comment on 'Tokyo Dream': "Tokyo Heavyweight is a song about feeling like you're losing someone. In my own interpretation, it's a romantic love but it could be any kind of love disappearing. It's about that feeling of emptiness in the pit of your stomach you get when you know that person is not going to be there anymore, and the damage done when experiencing that loss. The overwhelming loss can make you feel resentful. It can make you feel damaged and want to lash out at...anybody. "

InTechnicolour have also announced a UK tour with newly-launched hardcore band Skin Failure (ex-Black Peaks). Dates:

Nov-10 Leeds, Key Club
Nov-11 Nottingham, Chameleon
Nov-13 Bristol, Crofters
Nov-24 London, Camden Assembly
Nov-25 Milton Keynes, Craufurd Arms
Nov-26 Southampton, Suburbia
Nov-27 Brighton, Prince Albert

Check out the video for previous single 'The Wave' here: https://youtu.be/-0V4D7cxnno

Hailing from Brighton, InTechnicolour are a riffy, groovy, rock band with a knack for creating a colourful song or two. Formed in 2015 through a want to play loud music through slightly broken amps, the basis of the band was created.

InTechnicolour are an inventive four-piece comprised of technically gifted musicians, cutting loose and playing music that’s about as far removed from their day jobs as it’s possible to get – and they are doing it better than a good portion of their contemporaries. Landing somewhere between the slack desert-groove of Kyuss and Karma To Burn, the band combine deeply satisfying riffs with a dynamic vocal style, which calls to mind the sounds of Baroness, Alice In Chains and Sound Garden.

InTechnicolour have previously toured across the UK and Europe with the likes of Physics House Band, Black Peaks, Town Portal, Bitch Falcon and Haggard Cat, and are gearing up to hit the road this autumn with dates to be announced very soon.

New York, USA deathcore band A Wake In Providence have released their mighty new single 'We Are Eternity', taken from their highly-anticipated new record Eternity, to be released 21st October via Unique Leader Records.

Watch 'We Are Eternity' here: https://youtu.be/ou8N8OZpyoQ

Stream and pre-order Eternity here: https://orcd.co/eternityawip

The band comment: "We are so excited to bring you, 'We Are Eternity'! This song really brings more of this story to the table and gives you great insight into who The Trinity is and what role they play in this narrative. Thank you to everyone involved with creating this and to you all for checking it out!"

Formed in 2010 from unremarkable beginnings, A Wake In Providence diligently grew to become the renowned and otherworldly force they are today. Originally a heavier-than-your-average deathcore act, the band’s debut 2010 demo and 2012 debut EP Serpents saw them infusing a raw and ruthless take on traditional deathcore with contemporary metallic elements to make something sharp enough to cut its way through the thicket of bland, boring heavy music acts. While Serpents gained the band notoriety in their local area, it wasn’t until the release of their sophomore EP, Insidious, that the band went from prodigally talented to true rising stars in the heavy music community. Adding a liberal dose of downtempo deathcore to their instrumental stylings, Insidious earned the band global infamy and critical acclaim, as well as tours with some of the underground’s bigger names-including In Dying Arms, Extortionist and Lorna Shore, as well as several smaller solo runs along the East Coast.

Never ones to remain complacent, A Wake In Providence grew once more in 2016, with the addition of Will Ramos (now with Lorna Shore), but also with their drastic stylistic change, omitting their penchant for low, slow downtempo deathcore in favour of a renewed focus on more aggressive, fast and furious traditional deathcore elements with a razor-sharp technical twist. Combining marvellous metallic riffs with crushing breakdowns and shrill, sinister vocals to create an intense onslaught unlike any other band in the heavy music scene, A Wake In Providence are vile enough to make the sewers look clean, and vicious enough to tear the still-beating heart out of the listener's chest.

Now a quartet with new vocalist Adam Mercer and signing with the legendary Unique Leader Records, A Wake In Providence's status looks set to only rise further.

London hardcore six-piece Ironed Out have released new single / video 'Always Be A Foe', a song dedicated to those who have been the victims of police wrongdoing.

Watch the video to 'Always Be A Foe' here: https://youtu.be/q-NRvFkM-vc

Stream here: https://orcd.co/alwaysbeafoe

The band comment "The police are unfortunately a necessary evil. For some of the good they do, there is plenty of bad that follows. They protect property and capital first and foremost. This goes out to anyone who has had the misfortune of being mistreated or neglected by the police in any way."

Catch Ironed Out live:

30/09/22 - Readyfest - New Cross Inn, London
04/11/22 - w/ Burn Alive & Stamp Out - The Birdcage, Portsmouth
10/11/22 - w/ The Chisel & High Vis - The Underworld, London
08/04/23 - Donfest - Eiger Studios, Leeds

The single follows Ironed Out's highly acclaimed third album We Move As One, released in 2020 via GSR Music.

Founded in 2014 by stalwarts of London's LBU scene, including Wema of the legendary Knuckledust, Ironed Out are a well seasoned machine who quickly built a reputation as one of the UK's toughest sounding live bands. As well as being well respected on the UKHC live circuit, 2019 saw the band join the Rebellion 8 tour in Europe playing alongside Madball and Death Before Dishonor and Born From Pain.

In a world on the brink of societal collapse, hardcore music is as important as ever, and Ironed Out are flying the flag for the UK scene.
