• MALEVOLENCE - Announce New Album 'Where Only The Truth Is Spoken' + Release Music Video For 'If It's All The Same To You'

  Mar 18, 2025 Al Feliciano 0 Comments

  Steel City Kings MALEVOLENCE have announced the details of their hugely anticipated new album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, set to be released on June 20th via MLVLTD in partnership with Nuclear Blast Records. Alongside the news of their new album, MALEVOLENCE have also released the video for their monumental new single 'If It's All The Same To You'. Featuring acting legend Alan Ford, who most famously appeared as Brick Top in Guy Ritchie's classic British gangster film Snatch, the band's new video is their biggest visual production to date. It sees the five-piece take on an elaborate art heist, before engaging in a white-knuckle car chase with the Police. There may even be some easter eggs to be found throughout that hint at what MALEVOLENCE have in store for the future. On their new album, the band comments: "'Where Only the Truth Is Spoken’ is a level up in every sense—musically, lyrically, and visually. This was our first time recording outside the UK, and doing it in LA with Josh Wilbur was fun and refreshing. He’s worked with some of the biggest names in metal, and his approach pushed us to challenge new heights. The production, the songwriting, the videos—everything about this record is bigger, heavier, and more refined. Everything in Malevolence is, and always has been, a team effort and I feel like everyone really delivered on this record. To everyone who supports what we do, thank you. It goes without saying that we wouldn’t be in this position if it wasn’t for your overwhelming support. I’m excited to see where the journey goes next!

  Malevolence - 'If It's All The Same To You' (Official Music Video) ABOUT MALEVOLENCE MALEVOLENCE have never waited for permission. From the underground to festival main stages, they’ve built their reputation on sheer force of will, crushing live shows, and an unshakable foundation of heavy riffs and harder work. Now, with their fourth studio album Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, Sheffield’s finest step into a new league. Recorded in California at Dave Grohl’s legendary Studio 606, the album was tracked through the iconic Neve 8078 console, the same desk that captured game-changing records like Nirvana’s Nevermind, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, and Tom Petty’s Wildflowers. For a band that’s always pushed forward without compromise, it was the perfect setting to carve out a record that represents everything MALEVOLENCE stands for. The album marks a new level of songwriting precision without sacrificing the band’s trademark weight. Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium), the result is MALEVOLENCE at their most punishing, urgent, and anthemic. Lyrically, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken reflects the principles that MALEVOLENCE have lived by since day one—honesty, loyalty, and integrity. These are not just themes woven into the album but values the band holds in their personal and professional lives. This record doesn’t deal in facades or empty gestures; it’s an unfiltered expression of the struggles, victories, and unshakable brotherhood that have carried them this far.

• BENEDICTION - Release Video For New Single 'Crawling Over Corpses'

  Mar 6, 2025 Al Feliciano 0 Comments

  British death metal legends, BENEDICTION, have released yet another single from their upcoming new studio album, Ravage Of Empires, which is due to be released on April 4, 2025, via Nuclear Blast Records.
  
  'Crawling Over Corpses' is a ferocious up-tempo banger, which transports the band's old school roots into the here and now while destroying everything that stands in its way. Dave Ingram's primal growls have never sounded more vicious, and the rhythm section fires on all cylinders with a barrage of riffs and massive breakdowns. Alongside the single, another fiercely entertaining music video has been released, which you can watch below.
  
  Ravage Of Empires is available for pre-order on CD, LP and as digital album.

  ABOUT BENEDICTION
  
  “Sometimes They Come Back” is not just the title of a horror movie based on a macabre tale by Stephen King, it is also a summary of what happened to UK death metal veterans BENEDICTION, yet you might like to add a “better than ever before”. While never officially disbanded, 2020’s Scriptures, the group’s eighth studio album achieved what is usually not an easy feat. It connected well with classics like Transcend the Rubicon (1993) and its immediate and memorable songwriting, the heavy-as-a-brick Grind Bastard (1998), and also saw legendary vocalist Dave Ingram return with his merciless roar and knack for morbid, twisted lyrics. After two albums with Dave Hunt on vocals, Scriptures was BENEDICTION’s first record in over a decade impressing with aggressive up-tempo attacks like ‘Iterations of I’ and ‘Rabid Carnality’ or the neck-breaking mid-tempo barrage of ‘Stormcrow’, songs that became live staples alongside ‘evergreens’ such as ‘I Bow to None’, ‘Magnificat’, ‘Subconscious Terror’ or ‘Vision in the Shroud’ in no time. With Scriptures, BENEDICTION even almost cracked Germany’s top ten by entering at a phenomenal #11 of the Official German Charts showing that the death metal veterans founded 1989 in Birmingham, England, offered an extremely well received sonic catharsis when due to the pandemic, people were locked down and pissed off.
  
  With their brilliant new record Ravage Of Empires in tow, founding members and guitarists Darren Brookes and Peter Rew, longtime vocalist Dave Ingram, drummer Giovanni Durst, and Nik Sampson (bass) will travel far and wide once more. Already confirmed are the Tales of the Triple Death Tour with Jungle Rot and Master kicking off on album release date as well as confirmed appearances at Wacken Open Air and Maryland Deathfest. More to be announced soon!

  ”Finally our new album is about to be released! It has been a long process and we are very happy with how it turned out. Can’t wait to hear what you all think about it! The album has a lot of dynamics, reminding about a train ride, it goes fast, slows down, mid-tempo, full on again, and so on. I think it has something for everyone, so jump on board the train and enjoy the ride! All aboard!”
  
  Tommy Johansson continues: ”The song ’Battle Cry’ takes you back to when Vikings sailed the seas in a fast, melodic and sing-along pirate metal tune.
  The sound is very much inspired by Running Wild with some glorified elements from the old ReinXeed era. Set your sail and listen to our battle cry!”

• OBSCURA - Unleash A Sonication + Watch The Video For 'In Solitude'

  Feb 9, 2025 Al Feliciano 0 Comments

  Germany-based progressive metal titans OBSCURA return with A Sonication, the highly anticipated second installment of their ambitious trilogy concept, out today via Nuclear Blast Records worldwide. This marks the band’s seventh full-length release and their second with Nuclear Blast, showcasing a bold evolution in sound while staying true to their signature complexity and innovation.

  Elegant yet commanding, A Sonication seamlessly bridges OBSCURA’s past and future, capturing their relentless pursuit of musical progression. Written and recorded during extensive worldwide touring in support of their previous album, A Valediction, the new record was finalized with award-winning producer Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (In Flames, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects) in Gothenburg, Sweden. With the instrumental tracks completed, frontman Steffen Kummerer finished vocals and acoustic guitar sections using custom-built ENGL amps, while Nordström helmed the mixing and mastering process. The result is a heavier yet brighter sonic landscape, underscoring OBSCURA’s commitment to refinement and expansion.

  Lyrically, A Sonication delves into layered meanings and interpretations. The title itself—derived from the process of using sound waves to agitate particles—offers a multifaceted perspective, blending scientific principles with philosophical introspection. Each composition embodies a personal episode from Kummerer’s life, further connecting the album to A Valediction as part of the ongoing trilogy. To visualize the album’s theme, acclaimed artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Kreator, Hatebreed) was enlisted, crafting a silver-toned aesthetic that seamlessly complements OBSCURA’s sonic and visual identity.

  To mark the release of A Sonication, OBSCURA unveils the official music video for ‘In Solitude,’ offering fans a first glimpse into the album’s immersive world.
