• SIEGE PERILOUS Launches Kickstarter For Concept Album "Becoming the Dragon" ft. Guests Fabio Lione and Kristin Starkey

  Mar 17, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Unveiling their monumental musical odyssey and EP “Creation’s Call” in August 2024, Denver's fantasy power metal warriors Siege Perilous unveil plans for their first full-length album.

  Entitled "Becoming the Dragon," the album is the band's biggest and most ambitious work yet—a cinematic, narrative journey set in a world of warriors, dragons, and destiny. To help Siege Perilous unleash this epic power metal story, the band enlisted two of the most epic voices in the genre: Fabio Lione (Angra, ex-Rhapsody of Fire), a legendary power metal voice, and Kristin Starkey (Twilight Force, Temperance), the powerful contralto who brings her operatic touch to the tale.

  A single narrative power metal opera from start to finish, "Becoming the Dragon" is centered around the Child of Prophecy, the hero who slays the dragon, played by Fabio Lione, but then comes to question whether he is truly a hero or simply a pawn of an ancient prophecy. After a journey of self-discovery that takes him across a vast fantasy world he, aided by the mystic Sorceress (Kristin Starkey), takes on the forces of destiny itself to forge a new future.

  To bring this concept record to life, Siege Perilous is using Kickstarter and, once again, enlisting the help of power metal fans.

  Vocalist Shaughnessy McDaniel comments:

  "After the incredible reception we received for 'Creation's Call', we couldn't wait to bring people what they had been asking for, a full-length album. We are so excited and blown away that we get to work with the legendary Fabio Lione and the absurdly talented Kristin Starkey to bring this fun yet meaningful fantasy story to life, and Kickstarter is such a great way to help an up-and-coming band like Siege Perilous maximize this opportunity. The dream for this album is big! And while we are self-funding about half of it, we need some help to bring this full epic vision to life and to reach its full potential. Heroes of power! Warriors of metal! Keepers of the flame! Join us on an epic quest!"

  Check out the exclusive rewards you can receive with your Kickstarter pledges, from Vinyl to classic rewards like CDs, t-shirts, and stickers to a few fun experiences by Siege Perilous.

  "If you’ve ever wanted a power metal anthem written about your DnD Campaign, a favorite fantasy story, or a historical epic, now is your opportunity to bring those stories to life with a custom hand-crafted power metal track. This and many other cool rewards can be yours and 100% of the profits from this campaign will go into the production and promotion of “Becoming the Dragon.” We have many stretch goals including enhancing our vinyl, filming great music videos, and more! Thank you for contributing and helping us summon this fantasy into being. Share the campaign, spread the word and together we will continue to keep the dream of heavy metal burning bright!" adds McDaniel.

• MAD PARISH Unveils Epic Progressive / NWOBHM Concept Album “The Dust Of Forever” + Comic Book

  Jan 31, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  The wait is over as Montreal, Canada's heavy metal visionaries Mad Parish release their highly anticipated concept album “The Dust Of Forever". Available now on all major platforms as of Jan 31st, this ambitious project marks a new pinnacle in the band's decade-long journey. “The Dust Of Forever” is not just an album; it's a multi-faceted experience that pushes the boundaries of heavy metal storytelling. Spanning 21 tracks, the album weaves an original narrative following Joe, an immortal protagonist caught in a universe-threatening cataclysm. The band shares how the album came to be:

  “The album has interesting origins. A song from our first album was inspired by a comic book. After Bob joined the band, he mused about what would happen if this priest from the comic discovered that he was immortal, and the song “The Dust Of Forever” was written. Once we started writing some more songs we discussed what kind of album to make next. That is when we came upon the idea of expanding this world we were writing about, and making a concept album.”

  Going full-on, epic prog metal was a big challenge for Mad Parish and they set out to write a story that they would tell through the songs, and decided to create a companion comic book to accompany the album. Creatively, this is the most adventurous thing they’ve done to date.

  From the opening “Prologue” to the climactic “Hail To The Hunter”, listeners are taken on an immersive journey through a richly imagined world. The album showcases Mad Parish's evolution, blending their NWOBHM-inspired roots with progressive rock structures, 70's rock swagger, 80's new wave textures, and even hints of classical and jazz. This eclectic mix results in a sound that's uniquely Mad Parish – heavy, melodic, and deeply atmospheric. It is recommended for fans of Iron Maiden, Rush, and Rainbow.

  “The Dust Of Forever" is available on January 31, 2025, digitally plus CD and Vinyl along with a limited edition Comic Book "The Experience Hunter Chronicles" via their Bandcamp at ​https://madparish1.bandcamp.com/album/the-dust-of-forever

• NECRAMBULANT’s New Music Video Has You “Sentenced to a Gluttonous Pit” Off Guttural Death Metal

  Jan 15, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

  Phoenix, Arizona's Necrambulant will be unleashing their second full-length "Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance" via Gore House Productions this coming March 2025 to follow 2022's "A Feast of Festering Flesh" (EP) and 2013 debut album "Infernal Infectious Necro-ambulatory Pandemic".

  Revealing their first single "Chunked Pus Chowder" with a claymation video this past November, they are unshackling their next music video and second single "Sentenced to a Gluttonous Pit".

  "This was the first song written for the new album. Lyrically, the theme came from watching movies like Army of Darkness and Return of the Jedi; where there is some sort of criminal sentence of being cast into a pit containing something within that will consume you. In this story, it's a septic pit that serves as both an open sewer for human waste and a habitat for flesh-hungry zombies awaiting someone to be "sentenced to the pit"..." adds the band.

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

  Necrambulant's sophomore album is a relentless record presented as an anthology of all that they represent, horror, gore, and slamming brutal death metal. Incorporating a full arsenal of death metal and slam to further define their self-described sound of "Inhuman Slam Grind", "Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance" has something to offer on many levels of thematic brutality; zombies, serial killers, cannibals, sci-fi, and Warhammer.

  "This new album is just a relentless barrage of slamming brutal death metal. We strived for a no-bullshit / no-filler tracklist that will just pummel the listener with heaviness. We spent the past two years working on fine-tuning these songs to be a proper representation of our original moniker of "Inhuman Slam Grind". We hope this new album is something that fans of our earlier material will appreciate and something fresh for the newer fans as well. Expect a full audial assault of horror, gore, and guttural slamming sickness the Necrambulant way." says the band.

  Recommended for fans of Devourment, Kraanium, Cephalotripsy, Cannibal Corpse, and Abominable Putridity, Necrambulant's "Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance" will be available as of March 7th, 2025 from Gore House Productions.

• Mallorca Doom HELEVORN Announces "25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour"

  Mallorca Doom HELEVORN Announces "25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour"

  Fifth Studio Album "Espectres" Out Now!

  Mallorca, Spain's renowned doom metal band Helevorn announces the "25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour" to celebrate their quarter of a century performing and recording doom metal since their conception in 1999. This landmark tour beginning in January 2025 will witness Helevorn sharing many fan-favorite songs from their gloomy, gothic doom catalog and supporting their fifth studio album, “Espectres” released this past September (Tour dates are listed below; more will be announced).

  Helevorn - 25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour​
  Jan 25 - Kanya a Santa Climent Fest - Casal de Cultura de Sant Climent - Barcelona, Spain
  Jan 31 - Utopia - Zaragoza, Spain
  Feb 1 - Itaca - Torrelavega, Spain
  Feb 28 - Sala X - Sevilla, Spain
  March 1 - Roka Rock Voodo - Malaga, Spain

  Following significant line-up changes over the past three years, Helevorn has emerged stronger and more creative than ever with their new album "Espectres". The band enlisted the talents of Sebastià Barceló (Trallery) for drum recordings, adding a new dynamic to their sound. This album represents a slight departure from Helevorn's previous work, with new guitarist Alex composing 60% of the material. Fans can expect the familiar atmospheric and emotional depth Helevorn is known for, but with a rawer, more technical edge. The band shares the details behind the album:

  “This album is based on Hauntology, described first by Jaques Derrida and after by the philosopher Mark Fisher. He wrote “The Ghosts of My Life”, an amazing book where he describes the ‘slow cancellation of future’, and a lot of great concepts about the specters and the absences. How they make us what we really are. Is a fantastic concept to write a Doom Metal album isn't it?”

  While still rooted in their self-coined “Mediterranean Doom” style, this album leans more heavily into pure doom and metal elements. The band promises a less epic, less folk-influenced sound, focusing instead on the core essence of doom metal. Helevorn thinks it can be an intense experience for those who want to connect something very emotional and very philosophic with dark and gloomy music.

  Those with an interest in Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Draconian, will appreciate the art that Helevorn is creating.

  “Espectres” was released on September 13, 2024, from Meuse Music Records and is available for album order (Vinyl/CD) at http://www.helevorn.com/shop | Helevornofficial.bandcamp.com​

• The UK's Blackened Doom TIGGUO COBAUC To Re-Release "Fountains of Anguish" On Exitus Stratagem Records December 2024

  Dec 3, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

  The UK's Blackened Doom TIGGUO COBAUC To Re-Release "Fountains of Anguish" On Exitus Stratagem Records December 2024

  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.

  Beginning their journey with the 2022 debut "Trial by Combat", this birth into the constellations was steeped in the murky depths of Death/Doom, cloaked in a sludgy resonance. From these beginnings, they gradually evolved, transcending into realms infused with black metal's ethereal atmospheres, where shadows and intensity intertwined.

  Unraveling their latest album "Fountains of Anguish", this past April in Europe, the blackened doom duo of Luc Martello and Reno Ramos announces the re-release of this second full-length in North and South America via Exitus Stratagem Records digitally and CD on December 20th, 2024, and on Vinyl (release date to be announced at a later date).

  The band comments:

  "We have already unveiled the album in Europe, and the resonance it has garnered has been nothing short of remarkable. The reviews have painted a vivid tapestry of praise, while the response during our live demonstrations has sparked an exuberant and electrifying communion with our audience. Fountains of Anguish stands as a vivid snapshot of our artistic essence in 2023, encapsulating the intricate layers of our sound and vision. It reflects the alchemical fusion of our influences, embodying the raw emotion, complexity, and depth that characterize our current trajectory. This work crystallizes our evolution, a testament to our sonic exploration and collective spirit, serving as both a beacon and a mirror of our artistic journey. This collaboration with Exitus Stratagem Records not only amplifies our reach, but also solidifies our commitment to sharing our art with a broader audience. We are excited to embark on this journey and connect with fans who resonate with our sonic vision."

  The sound of "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.

  "This record is enriched by the newly woven atmospheres that ascend the ordinary, transforming into a profound ritualistic communion with the audience. Each note reverberates like an incantation, inviting a shared journey into the depths of sound that beckons a collective transcendence." adds the band.

  Listen to the lead single "Craving for Slay", a quintessential black metal onslaught, balancing modern sensibilities with melodic vocals and fierce screams, while preserving the hallmark heavy doom elements familiar to Tigguo Cobauc.

  ​

  Embarking upon this next chapter of their journey, Tigguo Cobauc's "Fountains of Anguish" is recommended for fans of Celtic Frost, Bathory, and Venom.
