Audrey Fall released their debut album, Mitau, in January, and, according to their frontman, it looks like it might be getting a vinyl release sometime soon. Priceline LONDON > For those who aren't familiar with the Latvian four-piece, these guys play a style of post-rock/post-metal in the vein of Maybeshewill, Saxon Shore, Russian Circles, and Caspian, with their trademark cinematic and atmospheric qualities present in this release. Mitau is a shining example of instrumental rock done right, with exhilirating climaxes and soothing bridges scattered throughout the 58-minute release. Joyful Conversations Await! 😃 Take Back Control of Hearing Loss > "Each song, builds, blows up, collapses, and rebuilds in surprising ways. Mitau is actually exciting to listen to. I don’t know if I’ve ever described an album that way. There is a pent up energy throughout the entire album, an earnestness that compels you to keep listening. It’s almost exhausting to listen to, but in a way which, by the time you reach the end of the closing track, “Medem”, makes you want to listen to it again." -Ian L. Svbtle Reviews Full album here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CIo83emfSE

Cult Of Luna continues to stay productive. I would have never thought that we would see new album again in 2022. Release date is February 11th and pre-orders go live December 1st. New song arrives on tuesday: Johannes Persson posted on Instagram that album will have "interesting guests": https://www.instagram.com/p/CV2quVjoldS/ 1. Cold Burn 2. The Silver Arc 3. Beyond I 4. An Offering to the Wind 5. Into the Night 6. Full Moon 7. The Long Road North 8. Blood upon Stone 9. Beyond II I think we will have about 90-100 different vinyl variants again. Edit: Some small new info here: https://metalshockfinland.com/tag/cult-of-luna/ "As soon as listeners hit play, they are in familiar yet refreshingly new CULT OF LUNA territory, the pulsating rhythms pummeling, and Persson’s savage roar tearing through the layers of guitar. As is the case with every album from the band in recent years, there is a lot of shifting of dynamics and sonic density, and perhaps more so than usual on The Long Road North. “It’s a big sounding album, almost cinematic,” the band states."

:: PRE-ORDER :: rýr "left fallow" LP/CD (NAR077) rýr (islandic: barren, sparse, weak) is an instrumental post-metal band from Berlin, Germany. "left fallow" combines crushing and heavy riffs with spherical clean sounds in a non-standard yet intuitive way to balance different sets of emotions within individual songs. The concept of the band is to create diverging spheres in a simple and abstract way that is best suitable for being performed in an absorbing live environment. The six songs are perfectly filling over 50 minutes of an auditive journey.

Taken from www.elusive-sound.com (look at those variants!!! Not mockups!) Berne, Switzerland, February 10, 2017: Elusive Sound is very proud to announce the release of Au Revoir’s “Veles” on vinyl in Europe. Pre-orders start Friday, February 17 at 20:00 Zurich time. Official release date March 3, 2017. Au Revoir are a heavy expansive instrumental rock five-piece from New Jersey. The band now consisting of Eric Annicchiarico, Tyler Mandich and Gregg Peterson on guitar, Carl Kranz on bass and Tyler Gilbert on drums have an exceptional ability to create sublime, expansive soundscapes and hypnotic crushing doom. After two solid releases in “In the Key Of Night” (2012) and “Black Hills” (2013) Au Revoir went into Backroom Studios with the intent of their next album sounding as huge as they do live. They have at long last not only accomplished that with Scot Moriarty but also produced an absolute stunner of an ever-evolving concept album that we immediately embraced and were determined to release in Europe. Au Revoir have reformed themselves as a huge serpent, coiling tightly around the roots that lead us into the wet underworld of Veles. It is not only a world of wet grassy plains and eternal spring but one where we find ourselves in the deepest of caverns, watched over by the ghosts of the dead, awaiting impending doom. Veles is richly bleak with decadence but the listener never succumbs or falls prey. He watches the ground ripple like water and feels an irresistable urge to be lost in Veles’ violent sway. Au Revoir have shed their old skin and are now full-bodied and in constant transformation, reborn as a lethally charged bringer of chaos. Veles unveils the descent of man into utter misery. When one stands and contemplates his fate, the troubles that have fallen, looks back at the path they have taken to reach their end, surrendering to their undoing by taking one last breath and bracing themselves for the full force of impact, as the water comes rushing over. The LP features stunning full artwork by Dylan Partridge and will be released on two high quality Gatefold coloured variants, Transmigration limited to 150 copies and Rebirth limited to 100 copies, featuring an additional numbered art-print by Dylan Partridge. Both variants will be sold via our official label website shop at http://elusive-sound.com/catalog/

So. I really just want to talk about Isis. I hope some of you do too. I love them, and think they are probably the best metal band (although Rosetta certainly factors greatly into that equation). I got into my car after being at my friend's house tonight, and was stoked to have remembered that I had "In The Absence of Truth" in my CD player. Now, I freak out over "Oceanic" just as much as you all do, and that record is rightfully heralded. However, I think that ITAOT is the band's creative pinnacle. It is the culmination of all of their development, coming together in an utterly transcendent and glorious piece of art. It is their most progressive record yet, evidenced by tracks like "Firdous E Bareen." Otherwise, you have the more obvious post-rock elements, the lush sonic textures giving ground support to everything, the low-tuned guitars, Aaron's pile-driving hardcore vocals, etc. This is most exemplified, I think, by the closing track, "Garden of Light". That ending, man. What's even COOLER, is that the ending is foreshadowed in "Dulcinea", starting around 3:40 in. What's also cool about "Garden of Light" is that during the intro, we are shown another callback musical element, in the guitar sound used in "Low Tide" from their Aereogramme collaboration; that high sparkly guitar sound that kind of beeps and bubbles with it's reverb and vibrato. It's kind of like a laser sound, I guess. You know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I just hope some of you geek out hard enough over their music to get off talking about stuff like this, wherever the topic drifts

maybe I'm retarded but I can't figure out how to close a thread. All gone to new homes!

THE RODEO IDIOT ENGINE's third album «Malaise» will be out Nov.23th on CD and digital - the 12" vinyl version will follow in January because pressing vinyl in 2015 is pure hell. The band will be touring though Europe in December - more news soon! "Bayonne-based quintet THE RODEO IDIOT ENGINE have been nothing but unstoppable since their very first steps in 2009, tirelessly sculpting a signature sound torn between the most abrasive sides of chaotic hardcore, post-metal or screamo. After gaining a growing reputation all over Europe due to their 250 staggering, seizure-inducing live shows, the band returned to Amaury Sauvé's studio in Laval during summer 2015 to track «Malaise», their third full-length and follow-up to 2013's «Consequences». While most acts tend to soften with age, the band's work has only become darker over the years. Opener "Le Parfum" sets the tone, with merciless, spasmodic rhythms morphing into bleak, slow-paced heaviness and emotionally-charged vocals screamed to the breaking point. From the straight-up barrage of grinding yet melodic tracks ("Carrying Icons", "Final Relief") to more downtempo, menacing ones ("Syngue Sabour", "Thousand Of Nails"), «Malaise» is a dense album with rich atmospheres and structures. On these nine tracks THE RODEO IDIOT ENGINE's trademark sound has turned more expressive, resulting in nothing but the band's strongest material to date." - Recorded and mixed by Amaury Sauvé at La Senelle/The Apiary, Laval - Mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance East Mastering, Boston - Artwork photos by Louis Triol Tracklist : 1 - Le Parfum 2 - Carrying Icons 3 - Passing Daemons 4 - Syngue Sabour 5 - Je Me Noierai 6 - Ildoak 7 - Makurrak 8 - Final Relief 9 - Thousand Of Nails The record will be available via Throatruiner Records (LP/CD), Grains Of Sand (LP/CD) and Dingleberry Records (LP).

Hey guys, so this is pretty basic. I'm looking for a clean copy of the coke bottle and rainbow splatter version of this record. I have a navy blue swirl I can trade plus cash, if that is helpful! Thanks!!!

From Facebook! October 18th: Ten years ago today, The Galilean Satellites was released. In honor of that milestone, we have two pieces of information to share with you: 1. New release. Right now we're working on a Remixes/B-sides/rarities compilation that will come out this December/January. We don't have a specific release date for this, but around the holidays it'll be ready to go. This will include tons of stuff: all our Japan-edition remixes, some new remixes, ADOM-era demo recordings, the INFAMOUS acoustic version of "Au Pays Natal," remastered lost tracks from our 2003 demo, live recordings, and some 'quiet' reinterpretations of new and old songs... possibly even more. It'll be a huge retrospective. We should also note there will be significant content bonuses for people who purchase this release (as opposed to free downloading). 2. Vinyl represses of Wake/Lift and The Galilean Satellites. Translation Loss Records have confirmed that 2016 will be the year for both of these albums to return to vinyl. Again, there are not specific release dates for these, but Wake/Lift will come first, early in the year, and TGS will follow later in 2016. And yes, TGS will be a 4xLP, and yes, you will be able to sync it up on a DJ setup. Fuck yeah!

We are proud to announce the forthcoming release of DEATH ENGINE's debut album «Mud»! The album is due out March 2nd on 180 gram vinyl and CD via Throatruiner Records and Apocaplexy Records - artwork by Hugues Pzzl. Watch the band's music video for "Still" below. "Following the release of their abrasive debut EP «Amen», DEATH ENGINE made a brutal entrance in 2013 with a couple of European tours – a string of infernal outbreaks that have little in common with your average live show. The now four-piece from Lorient, France spent most of 2014 working on their debut album «Mud», which was once again recorded by Amaury Sauvé at La Senelle and mastered by Sylvain Biguet. Behind their ascetic, less-is-more work ethic, DEATH ENGINE's sound remains evasive – oscillating between dark, desperate noise rock and metallic downpours of petrifying violence, bleak shoegazing guitar work and gigantic industrial dirges, cathartic climaxes and merciless tribal-ritual rhythms that could last forever. «Mud» features seven new tracks that deliver the coup de grâce, exploring new fields while still pushing the band’s trademark visceral tension to unreachable highs."

Hey ! Some news from Solar Flare Records, the new album by french Noise / Post-Hardcore band WATERTANK will be out June 29th : ORDER SLF019 :: WATERTANK - Destination Unknown LP, CD et Digital LISTEN TO "DCVR" ON MOWNO ORDER HERE Two years after their first release, Watertank are back with “Destination Unknown”, a 9­ song full length (a little less than 35 minutes), composed and recorded on a unusual short notice, revealing a more confident band through strongly crafted songs. The Nantes ­based band are still in love with melodic hooks, and down­tuned heavy riffing (“Dcvr” / “Doomed Drifters”), evolving from their post­-hardcore background (“Contrails”) to explore new territories (“Scheme” / “Destination Unknown”), they aim to deliver a lasting listening enjoyment. TRACKLIST : 1. Automatic Reset 2. Fever 3. Contrails 4. DCVR 5. Last/Lost Hope 6. Surrender 7. Doomed Drifters 8. Scheme 9. Destination Unknown Once again recorded by Patrice Guillerme (Papier Tigre / Patriotic Sunday) and mastered by Carl Saff (Coliseum / Pilot To Gunner), “Destination Unknown” marks a step forwards for the renewed line­up (who took part of last year Hellfest edition), gearing up for a few dates with Torche in 2015.

Here's the cover art for AS WE DRAW's forthcoming album «Mirages» created by Romain Barbot/Iamsailor. «Mirages» is due out October 4th via Throatruiner Records - comes on limited clear 2xLP packaged in a deluxe triple-gatefold jacket and on CD digifile. A first track will be online in a few days. "«Mirages» is the outstanding second full-length from french powerhouse AS WE DRAW. Pursuing their will of constant evolution since 2009, these Laval natives have imposed their unique take on post-metal and noisy hardcore, crafted through ambitious songwriting and disarming live performances. Three years in the making, the follow-up to 2010's «Lines Breaking Circles» shows a band decided to challenge themselves as much as the listener (if not even more), out of every sub-genres conventions and commonplaces. As a proof, the album starts with the longest track ever wrote by the band. The ten-minutes mudslide that is "The Window" flows from eerie and intricate melodies to overwhelming parts, before descending into an unreal, glacial ending. This record is the culmination of the power trio's hard-earned mastery, where dense and nervous tracks ("Blackmail", "Denial") stand alongside richly atmospheric and massive soundscapes ("Shipwreck", "Fata Morgana"). Engineered and mixed at La Senelle by their drummer Amaury Sauvé, mastered by Magnus Lindberg, and lyrically exploring the theme of paranoïa seen through different eyes, «Mirages» is destined to remain an awe-inspiring piece of dark and forward-thinking heavy music." Recorded live by Nicolas Aigros at La Senelle Studio, Laval Produced, engineered and mixed by Amaury Sauvé Mastered by Magnus Lindberg Graphic Design by Romain Barbot/Iamsailor

"No Omega is hopeless and heartbreaking doomsday hardcore punk. Since their forming in 2010, No Omega have been working hard on creating a sound that's both vibrant and melancholic. The idea of No Omega is to fuse a furious hardcore sound with a sludgier, more dark, melodic and resolute post-metal sound. No Omega always aim at writing something new; something that doesn't sound like everything else. The guitars are heavy, the vocals are filled with power and emotion, and the drums shift between straight up thrash/punk to lumbering and brooding metal. A lot has happened since 2010 and the band has managed to form a pretty solid foundation to build upon. Both the music and the lyrics are more experienced. It's a lot more polished and finished in a fashion. The love for experimenting is still there. The love for expressing angst and fixating on the darker and more negative aspects of life and of our species is still there. The love for heavy and melodic post/modern hardcore is still there. 2013 will be a year of constant touring and taking No Omega to the next level." Pre-orders/full streaming/free download - http://store.throatruinerrecords.com/bands/no-omega Comes on 180-gram heavy-weight black vinyl and housed in a reverse-board jacket (sticker and poster included with each vinyl).
