• TIGGUO COBAUC Unleashes New Music Video "Ascended Deliverance" ft. Guest Vocals Chelsea Marrow (Voraath, Visitant)

  May 29, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  UK-blackened doom trio Tigguo Cobauc are unleashing their latest music video "Ascended Deliverance" featuring guest vocals from Chelsea Marrow (Voraath, Visitant). The song itself is a reworked version of the album track from 2024's "Fountains of Anguish," released via Exitus Stratagem Records.

  With a focus on always giving the listener the most intense and emotional experience, no more so than on the live stage. Tigguo Cobauc is the soundtrack to your darkest desires, as they explain the concept of the song and video:

  "The track opens with the haunting pulse of a heartbeat, accompanied by the creeping distortion of industrial noise, drawing the listener into a space of tension and unease. As the first notes of the story unfold, the listener is already submerged in a melodic nightmare—a dreamscape that’s as surreal as it is sinister. The narrative follows a man, lost in his disillusionment with the world, burdened by the weight of life’s cruelty and suffering. Desperate for answers, he becomes obsessed with confronting God directly, seeking retribution for the pain he’s endured. When the conventional means of prayer, the church, and the promises of faith offer no solace, he grows increasingly frustrated and turns to darker paths.

  His search leads him to a witch, a figure said to possess the ability to commune with angels, beings who might offer the answers he seeks. The witch, aware of the risks, warns him that the power to speak with such celestial beings is not to be taken lightly; without proper guidance, the consequences could be catastrophic. But driven by desperation and a growing sense of arrogance, the man dismisses the warning. He murders the witch in cold blood, seizing the book of forbidden spells she possessed. With reckless abandon, he chants the incantation, his voice trembling with anticipation and fear.

  In that moment, an angel appears—not a being of divine grace, but one of wrath and inevitability. The angel, sensing the man’s hubris and defiance, consumes him entirely. The track climaxes with a surge of chaos and intensity as the angel's judgment is carried out. The heartbeat, which has been a steady rhythm throughout, begins to slow, fading as the man succumbs to his fate.

  The track closes with the silence that follows his death—a chilling, final echo that serves as both a literal and metaphorical end. This tale, woven into the fabric of the music, is a cautionary one—a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the folly of trying to command forces beyond one's understanding. It is a warning against acting without caution, against chasing something that may not be meant for you. And, above all, it underscores the truth that sometimes, when you wish for something too fervently, you may just get it—and the consequences may be far worse than you ever imagined."

  The music video for "Ascended Deliverance" can be seen and heard via its premiere on Decibel Magazine HERE.

  Forged by ancient magic deep in the sandstone depths of Nottingham, UK, Tigguo Cobauc's spellbinding guitar riffs over primal rhythm are the sound of your darkest desires. The band's birth into the constellations has been steeped in the murky depths of Death/Doom, cloaked in a sludgy resonance. They have evolved from these beginnings, transcending into realms infused with black metal's ethereal atmospheres, where shadows and intensity intertwine.

  Their sophomore record, "Fountains of Anguish," is an amalgamation of classic black metal, reinterpreted with a modern sensibility, and infused with doomy elements that evoke a sense of atmospheric weight. Tigguo Cobauc has seamlessly integrated keyboards into their compositions, adding depth and texture to enhance the listening experience. Through this unique blend, they aspire to infuse their music with a distinctive touch of originality, creating a soundscape that resonates with the genre's traditions and contemporary influences.

• Gore House Productions Celebrates 15 Years w/ Free Label Compilation "Intestinal Purge" On Bandcamp

  Apr 17, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Extreme metal label Gore House Productions is celebrating 15 years of debauchery with its 13-track sampler "Intestinal Purge," featuring various bands who have released unhinged grinding torment to earworm its way to fans.

  Label founder Carlos Matt shares his sentiments about the early beginnings of GHP and the present.

  "TLDR coming in:15 Years? Can you believe it? It's been 15 years since the inception of Gore House Productions. I never imagined what life would look like in my 30s, let alone running an indie for this long. I was a 23-year-old who started booking shows with zero experience besides KNOWING how much extreme metal meant to me. I wanted to find a way to give back to a genre of music that was my scapegoat to reality. This was an itch I needed to scratch, and I had no idea this is how I would be doing so. I still recall messaging bands on MySpace to inquire about booking shows while contacting countless venues for possible booking dates.

  What many don't know is that I started buying/selling merch a year before. Back then, I was selling merch at swap meets on the weekends. This was before I officially launched an online store in 2012. I can go hours talking about those early days, but I'll save it for another time.

  I want to thank every band and fan for sticking around for this long. Besides the hurdles/delays, your patience and die-hard love for what we do mean more than words can describe. I also want to thank the many labels that continue to work with us as a source of distribution globally. Additionally, I want to thank my family who has continued to encourage me; my son who, reminds me to not give up; his mother, Violet, who many of you know also pushed me to keep grinding even when things got rough; lastly, @ashermedia who has taken over the PR role for GHP.I'm taking this time to announce the return of our label compilation, Intestinal Purge.

  The album is available for free download via BC. A playlist is also available to stream via our Spotify account if you prefer that.

  There's also a 15% discount for all new orders placed online, until the end of the month, with code: Happy 15

  Cheers to everyone once again!"

  Intestinal Purge (2025) offers 13 tracks taken from GHP's recent releases. Featuring album art by Sidjimbe Art -

• SVNTH Unleashes Unconventional Metal Versatility with New Album “Pink Noise Youth” + EU Tour Dates

  Apr 17, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Meshing styles like post-metal, gothic/doom, punk, post-hardcore/screamo, post-rock, shoegaze, black/death metal, and alternative rock, Italian experimental metal outfit SVNTH's fourth studio album, “Pink Noise Youth,” is ready for its coronation on April 18th, 2025, via These Hands Melt Records.

  Before it officially unleashes digitally and physically (CD / Vinyl), SVNTH has teamed up with Decibel Magazine for the album's full-stream premiere, which can be heard HERE.

  The band comments on the release of "Pink Noise Youth":

  "If the previous record Spring in Blue was about facing life’s struggles from a childhood perspective, Pink Noise Youth is based on exploring awareness as an adult in late youth, trying to give a voice to a generation emotionally unstable and chaotic as pink noise. It is the second part of the band’s own “trilogy of colors”. Musically, we intended to stay outside of genres and labels where elements of hardcore, metal, shoegaze, post-rock, and unconventional instrumentation such as electric indian sitar, classical, and 12-string guitars are blended in the same pot. People will surely welcome it with curiosity."

  Vocalist and bassist Rodolfo Ciuffo adds:

  "Lyrically, most of the inspiration comes from personal life events, relationships, and conversations with people and reflections about existential topics; in several cases, it also comes from movies and books."

  Following SVNTH's 2020 "Spring in Blue", “Pink Noise Youth” demonstrates the band's continued evolution, deliberately transcending genre boundaries. The album promises to take listeners on a cohesive journey through its carefully crafted track sequence, maintaining the band's tradition of creating conceptually unified works. The music from SVNTH has always aimed to give the listener emotional vibes. This record, in particular, is conceptually based on exploring late youth emotions, and the music created reflects such instability.

  Recommended for fans of Deafheaven, Alcest, and Agalloch, “Pink Noise Youth” is due out on April 18, 2025, on Vinyl, CD, and Digital via These Hands Melt Records and is available for pre-order / pre-save at https://lnk.to/SVNTH​

• MARGANTHA Unveils Title Track Off Debut EP “Blood Moon Sacrifice” Out June 2025

  Apr 16, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Rockshots Records proudly presents MARGANTHA, a black metal band born from a shared artistic vision rooted in darkness, atmosphere, and storytelling. Conceived by experienced musicians from the extreme music scene, the project was founded on the idea of anonymity, removing names, past projects, and expectations to let the music speak for itself.
  ​
  Their debut EP, Blood Moon Sacrifice, will be released on June 27, 2025. It is a concept work based on a legend passed down orally through generations. The tale, told to the vocalist as a child by his grandmother, tells of a werewolf haunting a hunter’s village at the foot of a remote mountain range. This myth gave birth to a collection of songs designed not simply to be listened to but to be experienced in full immersion.
  ​
  ​The EP was mixed and mastered at Sonic Train Studio by legendary guitarist and producer Andy LaRocque (King Diamond), adding an extra layer of depth and sonic intensity to the work.
  ​
  The band comments:

  “We always begin with the concept. The music follows naturally, often starting with a guitar riff or arpeggio, and evolving through a collaborative process. We’re not interested in technical exhibitionism. Every choice serves the narrative. The resulting material is raw, evocative, and direct—true to the spirit of black metal, but enriched with depth and atmosphere."​
  ​
  ​MARGANTHA’s sound draws inspiration from the evocative power of Mgła, the intensity of Uada and Gaerea, and the epic darkness of Naglfar and Behemoth, while also channeling the spirit of legendary pioneers like Celtic Frost, Venom, and King Diamond. The songs are structured to be memorable, immediate, and fully aligned with the conceptual vision of the record.
  ​
  While the band is just beginning its journey, their identity is already clear—both musically and visually. Their approach to live shows reflects the same energy: tight, relentless, and impactful. Inspired by iconic performances where the music speaks louder than words, Margantha aims to deliver live sets that are immersive from start to finish, with minimal breaks and maximum emotional charge.
  ​
  The first single and title track from Blood Moon Sacrifice is out now.

• MORNINGSTVR Unveils Black Metal “The Last Of The Northern Kingdoms” Music Video For New Album “A Fate Engraved” Out June 2025

  Mar 21, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  ​

  Following the announcement of his upcoming album “A Fate Engraved”, synth-based black metal artist Morningstvr has released the first single “The Last of the Northern Kingdoms”, and an accompanying music video. The nearly five-minute track showcases the Morningstvr’s signature blend of cold, atmospheric synths, thunderous drums, and anguished vocals that have become hallmarks of his distinctive sound. He comments on the single:

  “The Last of the Northern Kingdoms: is the lead song on this album, it gives reference to one of Tolkien’s works thus telling the story of my origins. This one stood out to me as the lead song because of its epic changes in the song, the emotion it gives along with how heavy it became as I finished writing it.”

  “The Last of the Northern Kingdoms” has overarching themes of medieval lore, ancient battles, and fallen empires. Sam Tchortov, the Russian American musician behind Morningstvr, crafts a narrative that bridges his previous work “In Memoriam of the Blvck Wind” with this new chapter in his “Unholy Trinity” saga. The visual aesthetic of the music video complements the music's frigid atmosphere, depicting desolate winter scapes and crumbling medieval architecture that reinforce the track's themes of lost glory and forgotten kingdoms.

  Drawing from his diverse influences including Darkthrone, Hulder, and JRR Tolkien's works, Tchortov has created a piece that stands as both a powerful single and an integral part of the larger narrative that “A Fate Engraved” aims to tell.

  Watch and listen to the music video for “The Last of the Northern Kingdoms” via its premiere on Metal-Rules HERE. ​

  “A Fate Engraved” is set for release on June 20, 2025.
