• SITH'ARI Unleashes Debut EP "Before The Dawn"

  Apr 29, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Sith'ari, the Iowa, USA, black metal side project for both Lord Kafir of Nedakh and Pathos of Symphony of Heaven and Satan Destroyer announces the release of their debut EP" Before The Dawn", unleashed digitally on April 23rd, with physical release on CD on May 30th, 2025 via their indie label Ethanol Studio.

  Melancholic but uplifting, fast, and atmospheric, the EP is a more riff-oriented sound usually associated with most black metal. Lord Kafir writes the riffs on guitar and a drum machine then sends them to Pathos to get his interpretation to create a record that's a mish-mash of influences from different readings from history books, experiencing harsh winters in Iowa and Indiana and fantasy stories, games and movies.

  Lord Kafir had other music in him that wasn’t just typical death metal and Pathos was brought in because he wanted to play in a specific black metal band that didn’t deny him from his religious point of view.

  The band comments:

  "If you wish that Satanic Warmaster was a bit darker, added a dash of Gorgoroth with just a dash of Immortal, that describes the sounds. The themes are much more in touch with fans of later-day Bathory and Immortal. From beginning to end, this EP will leave you wanting more. It’s a fantastic record that caters to all fans of black metal who want something melodic, fast, and relentless."

  Recommended for fans of Gorgoroth, Immortal, Satanic Warmaster, FIN, and Sargeist, "Before The Dawn" is now streaming on the following links:

• ARTACH Unleash Video "Macha" From New Album "Morrigan...Goddess of War" Out Mid-March 2025

  Mar 11, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Newfoundland, Canada's black metal duo ARTACH announces the release of their latest album "Morrigan...Goddess of War" due out on March 21st, 2025 via Depressive Illusions Records. This third full length represents the band's strongest material yet. It's a relentless assault of blackened thrash metal that captures the intensity and fury the duo have always strived for. From crushing riffs to searing melodies, every track on this release is forged with raw passion.

  "We've poured everything into this record, and we can't wait for fans to experience the full force of Morrigan...Goddess of War." adds Sruthán (Guitar/Bass).

  Today, Artach unveils the lead single "Macha", one of the three songs that are part of the Morrigan trilogy on the album with the songs that also includes "Badb", and "Nemain".

  Sruthán (Guitar/Bass). explains further:

  "Macha, one of the Morrígan, was known for her prophetic visions and her role as a fierce protector of warriors. She is sometimes considered one aspect of the Morrígan, a trio of war goddesses.

  The three goddesses, and what elements they represent, that make up the Morrígan in Irish mythology are:
  Macha – War, sovereignty, horses.
  Badb – Battle, death, chaos.
  Nemain – Frenzy, panic, terror.
  Together, they represent different aspects of war, fate, and destruction in Celtic mythology."

  ​

  Due out March 21, 2025, CD and Cassette for "Morrigan...Goddess of War" will be available from Depressive Illusions at https://depressiveillusions.com/search/node/Artach​

  Artach is a two-man black metal band (Sruthán: Guitar/Bass, Fíochmhar: Battery/Vokills/Keys) based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Being from the foggiest, snowiest, wettest, windiest, and gloomiest capital city in Canada, one should not be surprised that this fuels the creation of Black Metal. Their inspiration comes from the land, nature, the bleak weather of the Canadian North, and influential black metal bands.

  Since the duo’s formation in the spring of 2019, Artach has been consistently releasing new music. The band’s debut album “Chronicles of a Black Winter” was released digitally during February 2020 and later unleashed on physical CD by Depressive Illusions Records. In 2021, the band returned with their next offering “Sworn To Avenge”, a full-length scourge of raw and relentless bruting gloom. In 2024, Artach took an experimental direction with the EP "Sgrios", which was a black metal spin on industrial metal sounds.

  Now in 2025, they unleash their third full length offering with "Morrigan...Goddess of War" for release in mid-March.

  1. Badb - 7:08
