  Constantly evolving to explore the darkness and brutality, Canada's newest black / death metal demons GraveMass (ft. members from Zimmers Hole, The Golers, Punch Drunk, 3 Inches of Blood, Revocation), are unshackling their next single and video "Fallen". The track is a journey into the darker truth of fallen angels and the embodiment of that sinister truth.

  Aggressive, brutal, and driving, the song will be featured on GraveMass' forthcoming debut album for release later this year. The full-length is written by Mayan Hate, with lyrics by Lorde Heathen, and promises to be a masterclass in extreme death metal, capturing the true spirit of Canadian black metal.

  GraveMass comments on this next preview of their debut full-length:

  "The fans are hungry for new material, and this one is a feast. We bring the listener into our world, our experience, our message. A fresh slab of darkness. The soundtrack for the madness that is the current human condition. Enjoy this journey into the unrelenting brutality that is Gravemass."

• 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.

• INFRARED Take You Back To The Glory Days Of Thrash With New Album “Manifestation”

  Sep 6, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  ​Ottawa, Canada’s Infrared proudly presents their new music video "Manifest Nation" for their latest album “Manifestation” set to release on September 6, 2024. As purveyors of classic thrash metal, Infrared’s roots run deep, having first gained acclaim in the 80s with their hit “Thoughts Caught (in Between)”. Since then, they have released 3 albums and two EPs with Manifestation as the fourth full-length album. They share their excitement:

  “With life as busy as it is and some life challenges plaguing the band, the release has been delayed a few times. This is the longest we have sat on a finished album. With determination, we ramped up and filmed four videos and did all it takes to put together what the fans want, new classic thrash metal with a modern feel.”

  The single “Manifest Nation” rips and grooves all the way through while singing about a society losing itself and its way. They try to manifest a better life, but with all the technological distractions, they never achieve their goal.

  With the album “Manifestation”, Infrared has taken inventory and assessed its back catalog, and looked to see what it could improve on. The result is straight-to-the-point songs that are high in energy and aggression all while staying true to the classic thrash sound. This barn burner of an album is recommended for fans of Exciter, Sacrifice, and Razor.

  Due out September 6, 2024, “Manifestation” is available for order at https://infraredmetal.bandcamp.com​​

  Track Listing:​
  1. Cataclysm (2:07)
  2. Temple of Sin (3:20)
  3. Nikko (3:40)
  4. Demon’s Blood (3:08)
  5. Pressure Syndrome (4:29)
  6. The Manifest (0:48)
  7. Manifest Nation (3:40)
  8. Concuss (4:00)
  9. Reforma (4:04)
  10. My Dreams Are Real (3:48)
  11. Parasite Patrol (3:47)
  12. Then the Earth Goes Black (4:16)
