Band:SUMAC
Album:THE DEAL
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
SUMAC is a new band who’s main core consists of Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom, Mamiffer) and drummer Nick Yacyshyn from Baptists (who apparently happens to be Dave Grohl’s new favourite drummer). Bass player Brian Cook (Russian Circles, Botch, These Arms Are Snakes) also joins the duo (as an auxiliary member) and did all the bass tracking on the band’s debut album entitled “The Deal”. An album consisting of steamroller crushing heaviness and methodical free-range technicality.
SUMAC came to form when Aaron Turner had the urge to create music that’s heavy and colossal once again, wanting to bring back the heaviness aspect that he incorporated in Isis, and what he currently does in the OLD MAN GLOOM collective, into a wholly new and different band unlike anything he has previously done before. With one of the goals for SUMAC was for Turner to write some of the heaviest music he has ever written, he found the ideal partner with Baptists drummer Nick Yacyshyn, one of the best drummers in heavy music today. With SUMAC, Yacyshyn allows himself to showcase and expand his drumming talents even further as it is with SUMAC where we will really witness the true talent of this drummer.
The duo would enter the studio in Seattle late summer to track “The Deal” with Mell Dettmer (Wolves In The Throne Room, Sunn 0)) etc.) where they would be joined by Russian Circles/Botch/These Arms Are Snakes bassist Brian Cook who would ultimately lay the pulse down for the album (which would be mixed by Kurt Ballou of Converge at Godcity Studios and mastered by Mikka Jusslla at Finvoxx Studios in Finland).
Overall, “The Deal” is an absolutely crushing album that stands its own ground which will bring some familiarity with Turner’s repertoire and bring back that classic Hydra Head Records forward-thinking sound and vibe.

Band:LEVIATHAN
Album:SCAR SIGHTED
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Another long-awaited return and rejuvenation of the most notorious and infamous U.S. black metal entity, LEVIATHAN (solely commanded by Wrest, aka Jef Whitehead) has returned with what could possibly be regarded as one of the most glorious moments of Wrest’s musical career, one in which is comprised of a vast musical repertoire like no other in black metal.
Given the name “Scar Sighted”, LEVIATHAN’s fifth full-length album (amongst a repertoire that consists of numerous demos, compilations, EPs, and splits) is an album that comprises familiar moments culled from LEVIATHAN’s entire repertoire into one demented and twisted opus while standing as its own distinct entity within the LEVAIATHAN oeuvre; “Scar Sighted” being years in the making following the chaos, turbulence, and psychotic turmoil surrounding 2011’s controversial “True Traitor True Whore” album. With “Scar Sighted”, LEVIATHAN continues more in the vein of the “Massive Conspiracy Against All Life” masterpiece while other “lurkings” also run amongst the epic sound picture Wrest has painted with “Scar Sighted”.
Produced and engineered by Bill Anderson (Swans, Agalloch, Pallbearer, Red House Painters, Melvins) in Portland Oregon, Anderson in conspiracy with Wrest has helped to manifest the best, most crushing and dark sounding LEVIATHAN album to date likewise.
Also “Scar Sighted” will be specially packaged (all editions of the album) in a special boxed-CD edition with artwork inserts (painted by Jef Whitehead) etc. to complement the album’s stunning final package.

Band:CALLISTO
Album:SECRET YOUTH
Label:SVART
Format:CD
Genre:METAL/POST ROCK
Finnish post metal sextet makes a dark, gripping comeback
Since their 2004 debut, True Nature Unfolds, Callisto have sought out new ground in the post-metal genre. Their 2006 album Noir took the quintet's sound to cinematic proportions, and 2009's Providence further developed the combo's original approach. Now, Callisto have returned after five years of relatively quiet existence with a new album for Svart Records, entitled Secret Youth. Having gone through some minor lineup changes, the band's new digital single "Backbone" was released in November. Never wanting to record the same album twice and always eager to experiment, the band members themselves describe the new material as “progressive noise rock” - a contradictory concoction of easier, more straightforward elements in the same melting pot with a youthful, experimental style.

Constantly tapping into the singular northern landscapes of his native Norway for inspiration, Hærleif Langås transposes his views and feelings of the great white north into intricately deep and poignant soundscapes.

Quoted from the linear notes is the idea behind this new album: "Once the world was alone, the landscapes had no names and there was no one to see them. An endless number of ice age dawns came and went unseen. The idea of this world, the world as it was before man, inspired me throughout the composition of these tracks. Roughly separated in two parts, one representing the light, the unburdened world before man, the other a much darker side of the same place."

Band:APOCRYPHOS
Album:THE PRISONERS CINEMA
Label:cyclic law
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
After the dissolution of Psychomanteum, Apocryphos was slowly formed by now sole member Robert C. Kozletsky and continues further down the pathways charted by Psychomanteum. The Prisoner's Cinema is a duality in concept, exploring two separate paths that intersect each other through out. The first path revolves around sensory deprivation, isolation and the frightening, yet spiritual aspects of these experiences. The second path is that of a personal nature, bearing a literal interpretation of the title "Prisoner's Cinema" where you play the prisoner locked away in the confines of your own conscious mind standing alone against your own darkness. This is the troubled soundtrack to a soul starving for catharsis, a release from the chains that hold us down in this uncompromising world. The Prisoner's Cinema is graced with the signature haunting imagery of Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri) and also features a special guest collaboration by Frederic Arbour (Havan / Visions…) on one track. Psychomanteum may be dead, but out of its ashes, Apocryphos has risen to expand one's soul. Listen and release...

Band:LOURDES REBELS
Album:SNUFF SAFARI
Label:AAGOO RECORDS
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Avantgarde/Electronic
Lourdes Rebels are an electronic duo (Luigi Bonora and Rodolfo Villani) from Parma, Italy. Their music is a mix of animal sounds, slags from the past, psychedelia and confused voices from beyond. They play distorted toy-keyboards, samplers, electric guitars, drum-machines and filtered microphones. They started out in 2010 as the noise band “Bonora”. Then (under the monikers of Milkane and Fuck-hurya) they joined forces in a new electronic freak duo. In 2012 they started to use the name “Lourdes Rebels” referring to their interest in Huysmans and Zola, the two French writers who analyzed the unique condition of this place. The vision of the film “Lourdes” by director Jessica Hausner served as a source of inspiration. The word “rebel” has two meanings. It’s an ironic answer to our friends Abraxas Rebels and 70’s motorcycle gangs in general. And it refers to the rebel condition of a believer in miracles in our liberal-capitalist societies. They’ve recorded a first homemade demo on analog tape that contains 6 songs, yet unreleased.
Now, they are proud to announce the coming of “Snuff Safari”, their first record on Aagoo Records. The album has been conceived for the most part in Valencia (Spain). The artwork is a creation of Luigi Bonora. It represents a new direction, that brings the duo to different sound suggestions (animal roars, street hip hop, exotica and oriental scales).

Label:FOREVER PLAGUED
Format:CD
Genre:Black Metal
Stepping a bit outside the boundaries of black metal, FPR has opened up a bit and was compelled by the dark nature of this unknown band from Italy called "MOURNING MIST". Fronted by a violin player, namely Ecnerual, the band has a very avantgarde nature about it while still being nicely arranged with darker atmospheres. Lyrically dripping with misanthropic topics on mankind and its existence. I think that those of us who enjoy black metal but are also into the darker side of music in general would find MOURNING MIST to their liking.

Album:GEOPOLITICS WHISPERS AND AGONY
Label:EK Product
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
Since 2010 Combat Voice is a guarantee of rhythm, energy and danceability. The Belgian duo consisting in Richard G, from the 'pure EBM' project Combat Noise, with Bernard F, the singer of the EBM /Industrial platforms called Mono Electronic Density and Fuze Box Machine: both artists are the authors of a cold-EBM / Techno contaminant sound that certifies, now more than ever, their skill and their high competence amply demonstrated in 2013 by an excellent album entitled "Chaotic Universe".
The new digipak full-length Geopolitics Whispers & Agony is a concentrate of inflexible, minimalsymmetrical percussiveness combined with rapid fluctuations of sequencing and vocals expressed by icy tones, for a contest of sonic technology plus aggressive lyrics that give the music of Combat Voice an impetuous temperament and a disciplined melodism. This important release demonstrates the full control on the machines reached today by the two artists, in addition to more effective EBM strategies that exhort to collective dances.

Band:GUILT TRIP
Album:BRAPTISM
Label:EK Product
Format:CD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
The twelve tracks of Brap:tism are an arsenal of sharp, destabilizing, irreverent vocals combined with amazing tracks derived from EBM, Electro-rock and from North American Industrial, a whole nondescript into regular music conventions. The full-length contains all the potential that M.Nilsson and K.Lindberg have accumulated during year s of continuous experimentation, multiplying the admiration of their audience now more than ever. Within the ruthlessness of strophes you can feel a cold vibrating anger, as well as procedures that radiate dancing -energy by the use of squared rhythms, harsh abrasions of synths and by electric guitar wakes, a conglomerate that exponentially amplify that deep sense of alienation and obsession already perceptible in their previous album "Feed The Fire" from 2012.

Album:ABJECT OFFERINGS
Label:GREAT DANE RECORDS
Format:CD
Genre:Death Metal
Ask whoever you want in the French death-metal scene and they’ll all give you the same answer: as far as debut albums went, no-one could beat MERCYLESS’ ‘Abject Offerings’...
"Combing the immediacy of SLAYER vilest riffs with the intensity and malice of mid-period DEATH, tight-as-fuck musicianship and with instant hooks (“A Message For All Those Who Died”), the album was an instant hit in the underground when it hit the shops in 1992 and led to a contract with CENTURY MEDIA. Originally released on JUNGLE HOP and for far too long out-of-print (and thus, fetching insane amount of money on EBAY), this instant classic is now at last available again on CD format, in digipack format and with a whole new cover inspired by the original, Dali’s ‘Christ of St John on the Cross’. So get ready to be crushed again by one of classic death-metal finest hour!"- Olivier “Zoltar” Badin - Terrorizer Mag

Band:BONZ
Album:BROKEN SILENCE
Label:ETERNAL SOUND
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Lead vocalist Bonz was the original frontman of Stuck Mojo who trail blazed the rap-rockgenre by melding their heavy metal-bred Southern heritage with a blend of metal, rock, and hip-hop. Formed in 1989 by guitarist Rich Ward, Stuck Mojo set out to experiment with this genre-blending musical hybrid, inspired by bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Run DMC and Black Sabbath. When Stuck Mojo’s first release, “Snappin’ Necks,” appeared in the mid-90′s they were something of a phenomenon to some and a question mark to others. Daring to be different in a non-socially acceptable way, they challenged the system musically and broke down barriers. After being named the year’s best live band by MTV Europe, the band would go on to tour with the likes of Machinehead, Pantera, Testament, Life Of Agony, Type O Negative, The 24/7 Spyz, Sevendust and Clutch. STUCK MOJO became their label Century Media’s biggest selling act in north America and would remain so until 2004.
Fast forward to 2011: Bonz joins forces with Curt Taylor of Primer 55 to form the band BONZ. After creating the first few demos, they knew that something really new and invigorating was in store, and the music reflects that feeling. This is a “new” Bonz, with all of the flair and attitude that only he can bring, as part of a band that delivers the goods night in and night out, reiterating that the “Mouth of Mojo” is indeed back in fine form. In January of 2014, BONZ signed with Eternal Sound Records from Germany. They entered the studio to record the stunning new album “Broken Silence”. In a unique joint venture Eternal Sound and Pavement Entertainment have teamed up to release the new album. Pavement with take charge of North America and Eternal Sound will handle the rest of the world.
