0 FROGG Rebels Against Working To Death w/ New Single “Dandelion” Off Forthcoming Debut Album

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – February 15, 2024

FROGG Rebels Against Working To Death w/ New Single “Dandelion” Off Forthcoming Debut Album

FROGG is a modern progressive and experimental technical trio located in the New York metropolitan area, USA. The concept behind the band is simple: create modern heavy music while striving to show off some originality in an often-over-processed genre. They released their debut EP “A Reptilian Dystopia” in 2019 and will have their first full-length this coming Summer 2024.

Having unveiled their first single “Wake Up” this past September, which featured a melange of styles, with the guitar solo section riddled with authentic Afro-Cuban instrumentation to a pop-punk-styled chorus for a more dynamic interpretation. FROGG is now divulging the second preview of their yet-to-be-titled album.

Entitled “Dandelion”, the track conveys one of the big messages from their music, to rebel against the structured process of being slowly worked to death. It’s smooth, yet technical and ready to take you on an intensive sprint of emotions, but also bring you to a calm retirement.

“Dandelion brings a much darker palette when compared to our previous single Wake Up, and features a lot of fun technical musical moments.” adds vocalist/guitarist Sky Moon Clark.

Expressing their artistry in its pure, complicated, and intricate form, FROGG is eager to share this passion with fans around the world. Their main ambition is to hit the live circuit with their perfect performance and brand-new line-up.

They are recommended listening for those who enjoy The Ocean, Animals As Leaders, Periphery, and Between the Buried and Me.

Past Reviews for 2020 EP “A Reptilian Dystopia”

“Frogg cover seemingly contradictory bases of portentous tech-death, galloping melodic thrash and hopeful, opne chord djent. It’s smart musical alignment with their theme of something new rising from the ashes of the old.” – Metal Hammer

“FROGG is a dangerous force of Technical Metal making themselves known!” – The Circle Pit

“The music is impressively performed and written. Crazy technical menageries of Adderall-fueled obsession meshed with emotive melody just spilling out everywhere. It’s a great time, and definitely worth checking out. Definitely a band to be watching in the future.” – No Clean Singing

“Besides the clever songwriting and incredible lead guitar work, I’m a fan of the way the album sounds, too. It’s almost certainly going to be too processed for some peoples’s tastes, but everything sounds wonderfully clear and distinct. The rhythm guitar tone is pleasantly crisp and the leads perfectly smooth, and the bass is super chunky. This is a promising EP, and I, for one, welcome our new amphibious overlords.” – Toilet Ov Hell

“This is an incredible EP, guys. Every one of these songs has made it into heavy rotation, and I am honestly so excited to hear more in the future.” – Metal Trenches

​

Kelevra is a melodic, progressive force radiating from the cold windswept Canadian prairies. They have made a name for themselves nationally with high-caliber live shows and two well-produced EPs. This March, they continue to cement their place in the metal world with the first full-length album “Oneiric”, which flaunts more of the riveting harmonies, aggressive riffs, and powerful lyrics that they have come to be known for. They comment on the newly released single “Cleanse With Fire”:

“This track is always an absolute technical burner to play – showcasing the breakneck tempos, varied and deft leaps between riffs, searing leads, and then wide-ranging shifts in feel and technique. The single showcases everything we are known for with this one – from all-out aggression one minute, undeniable grooves, and unexpected progressive and spacious explorations the next. The frantic and frenzied nature of the song reflects the ticking clock towards doomsday, and the listener must reconcile their place amidst the madness.”

Kelevra works collaboratively and the entire band contributes to all of the songs on “Oneiric” making it a diverse record that accentuates the different strengths each musician has. This group effort is a major reason why their sound has been described as so unique. No song is an exclusive reflection of one person’s style, but rather a unique collaboration of five creatives joined together. Their entire catalog has featured songs written by three different members and this dynamic has introduced three unique styles of lyricism.

An impressive release that will intrigue anyone who likes progressive and melodic metal, “Oneiric” is recommended for fans of Lamb of God, Unearth, and Gojira.

Watch and listen to “Cleanse With Fire” via its premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.

“Oneiric” is due out on March 8, 2024, and is available for album pre-order at https://kelevrasask.bandcamp.com.

0 NECRONOMICON EX MORTIS’ Love Holiday Video “My Bloody Valentine” Brings Back The Gory Days of Slashers, Raw Death And Wailing Solos!

Montreal, QC – February 13, 2024

​

NECRONOMICON EX MORTIS’ Love Holiday Video “My Bloody Valentine” Brings Back The Gory Days of Slashers, Raw Death And Wailing Solos!

Formed out of the love for classic death metal, 80s shred worship, and creating gory lyrics about B-horror movies, Chicago’s Necronomicon Ex Mortis unleashed two EPs in 2023, (Self-Titled – March 2023) and (Silver Bullet – August 2023). With roughly 69 fully written songs ready to go that are both terrifying and titillating, these horror fiends are previewing their first track of 2024 with a brutal tribute to Cupid.

Named after the 1981 film, “My Bloody Valentine”, takes you back to the gory glory days of slashers, early death metal, and screaming solos. The band is in full force delivering nothing short of a head-banging, neck-twisting, chest eviscerating bloody behemoth of a new tune.

Check out the video for “My Bloody Valentine” at https://youtu.be/3d7KVqNypuw

​

Digital – https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/necronomiconexmortis/my-bloody-valentine-2​

Necronomicon Ex Mortis was formed by guitarist Michael Nystrom Bala out of a desire to combine elements of death metal and a love for horror. After writing far too many songs, Michael contacted The Apocalyptic Sandwich of Doom members, guitarist Manuel Barbara, and bassist Yusuf Rashid to join his ambitious fright-slinging of a band. The three amigos then enlisted fellow Berklee Bros Craig Schmuhl and Joey Ferretti, on vocals and drums respectively. Apparently, they joined out of the holy terror of the devil’s music.

With two EPs unveiled, the quintet has more music in the works, they are back in the laboratory of a mad scientist, preparing songs for their 3rd release. In a few short months, there will be more tunes to haunt your dreams. Stay tuned for over-the-top guitar playing, a comfortable blending of old-school metal and modern techniques, and a touch of campy, dark humor. They hope to make you sleep with the lights on!

The band’s “Self-Titled” and “Silver Bullet” EPs can be heard at https://necronomiconexmortis.bandcamp.com​

“From start to finish, it really is a head-spinner and a heart-pounder, and some of the most fun you can have with your clothes on (though you might need to strip down and dry off after the EP is done with you.). If it wasn’t clear already, it’s damned clear after Silver Bullet that Necronomicon Ex Mortis is “a band to watch”. And if these peoples really do have 69 more songs fully written, bring ’em on!” – No Clean Singing

“Necronomicon Ex Mortis Mix Shredding Death Metal and Horror On Silver Bullet… If I were to inform you of a band out there describing themselves as a ‘combination of ‘80s shred with ‘90s riffs all wrapped up in a cheesy B-horror movie’ chances are you’d excitedly inquire as to who this band is, after which I could start taking over/under bets on how quickly said horror-metal nerd collective would become one of your new favourites.” – Decibel Magazine

“Sit back and marvel at the eccentric sound of Necronomicon Ex Mortis as they take us on a wild, but brief journey of thrilling heaviness. Starting with a track about getting ripped apart by a giant undead ape called Crypt of the Gorilla God. It’s a thrashy and speedy opener that features some absolutely screaming guitar solos. An immediate example of the lovable nature of this EP and band. 8.5/10” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“A tale of primordial monsters living in the dark waters, “The Swamp” finds Necronomicon Ex Mortis at their storytelling finest, evolving a tale in classical fashion while having some moments in the guitar work that wouldn’t be out of place if they were written by Scott Carstairs for a Fallujah record. Somehow they have taken the bare bones that surround them and carved them intro intricate designs that leap between Metal sub-genres with death defying consummate ease. There is so much depth and texture than you’d usually expect to find in these songs… You have to wonder just how long it will be before these Gentlemen find themselves playing the Summer Slaughter Tour because that’s exactly where they should be [8.5/10]” – Metal Noise

“Necronomicon Ex Mortis combines elements of classic death metal, 80s shred worship, and gory lyrics about B-horror movies. This EP starts with Crypt of the Gorilla God, a track about getting ripped apart by a giant undead ape. It’s a thrashy and speedy opener that features some absolutely screaming guitar solos. Silver Bullet is raw but this band is worth keeping an eye on.” – WRIV 90.1F< (Burlington, VT)

“Necronomicon Ex Mortis have shown with Silver Bullet that they want to hit hard very quickly. The pieces are striking and make you want to discover more very quickly! We hope that the European public will respond to the call of the Americans and their desire to immerse us in horror stories worthy of the 80s. We wish them the best and we encourage you to dive into their universe!” – Sounding Shivers

“As EP’s it’s pitched just right in that it comes in and goes straight for the throat and doesn’t overstay its welcome. What will be interesting is to see what a full-length album will be like; can they sustain this level of quality for say ten songs? I’ll have to seek out their first release and compare, but for now this will satisfy those who love both death metal and 80’s horror. 7/10” – Musipedia of Metal

“Thrashy death metal with catchy groove” – The Mosh Pit 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)

“The fusion of Death Metal and shred is intriguing” – Amplified Magazin

“They make a death metal with classical influences and are obsessed with 80s horror films, a passion that is always to be shared.” – Metal Skunk​
​​​
​“if you want to hear guitar players that have spent time really learning their instruments and pouring their blood, sweat and tears into giving people metal that shows attention to detail, quality and songwriting, then you might be pleased by this band.” – Metal Bulletin

“Two Bongs Don’t Make a Right” But For FOETAL JUICE It Makes For A Brutal Shredding Time!

+ UK Tour Dates For New Album “Grotesque”

Unleashing their latest album “Grotesque” on Gore House Productions this past November, UK death grinders Foetal Juice have a new guitar playthrough for you to plough and brutalise the shred with. The fifth track on their latest full-length, “Two Bongs Don’t Make a Right” is a minute-and-a-half grind designed to be a good ending to side A of the band’s vinyl version.

The band adds:

“This is the shortest song on the album. The most Grindy song we have too. This kind of song always goes down really well live as well as on the record. It’s heavily influenced by Insect Warfare or Wormrot. The riff in the middle is also, in my opinion, one of the best riffs on the album. So, it’s a great one to watch for guitarists.”

Watch the guitar playthrough at https://youtu.be/q3-bH4vowjk

​

Foetal Juice’s sound is a melting pot of influences, ranging from death metal and grindcore to black metal, gore, groove, thrash, and even Enya. Their evolution as a band has brought new dimensions to their music, incorporating diverse elements while staying true to their death metal roots.

Notorious for their catalogue of unpleasantries and musical vulgarities, this album promises to be heavier, catchier, faster, and more aggressive than anything they’ve ever done before. It’s a relentless assault on the senses, and Foetal Juice is ready to claim its place in the annals of brutal death metal.

Recommended for fans of Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and Vomitory, “Grotesque” is a relentless barrage of blast beats, horror and gore that will have you questioning your sanity.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Fielding with the album artwork done by Misanthropic Art, “Grotesque” was released on November 17th, 2023 and is available from Gore House Productions at the following links:

“Grotesque is an absolute maelstrom of sound that is satisfyingly punchy, chugging and impactful. It makes you want to hear more.” – Metal Talk​
​
​“The main impact of the album is to shoot terrific amounts of voltage straight into your brainstorm, to pump hearts, to convulse muscles, and to suck the wind from your lungs. See for yourselves.” – NoCleanSinging​
​
​““Grotesque” by name and definitely by nature this is 40 minutes of joyously twisted groovy Death Metal with hooks for days… in a year of excellent Death Metal it can still go toe to toe with the best of the bunch. This Christmas give someone you love the gift of gore. 8.5/10” – Ever-Metal​
​
​“Foetal Juice are recognized for their twisted and brutal amplification of virtuosic and violent musical assault. The album continues, said callous, promising a cataclysmic symphony of ferocity… The track (“Legion of the Grotesque”) moves more like a macabre exploration of the consequences of excessive cosmetic surgery. Despite the grim themes, Foetal Juice’s technical skillset is evident, which enhances the grotesque subjects, similar to writing a horror film. Their music, a relentless blend of grind and death metal, is unapologetic sonic devastation, recommended fans of Vomitory, Napalm Death, and Terrorizer.” – Metal Insider​
​
​“In the 3 years since the release of Gluttony, and I must say you have really seen a huge growth from the band and Grotesque is an absolute monster record, well deserving of anyone who has an interest in the genre. It has enough of the hooks and grooves which will be of interest to your more casual death metal fan whilst remaining absolutely mean with a viscous twist for those with a more hardened ear towards the underground.” – The Razor’s Edge

“Grotesque is a stonker of a record, completely worth your time and a strong contender for album of the year. Foetal Juice have made a rod for their own back now, having to try and top this with their next record, which I already look forward to. For now, another few listens to Grotesque will more than tide me over. 10/10” – Musipedia Metal​
​
​“with their intense, careening style of chaos hitting the spot time after time. Like a bludgeoning mace to your consciousness, ‘Grotesque’ is one of the more distatefully straightforward pieces of extreme music you’ll hear this year, and it’s all the better for it. A killer effort.” – The Killchain​
​
​“Your eyes will water, your ears will bleed, your muscles will ache, your sphincter will tighten, your guts will churn, and you may even vomit. It’s fucking Foetal Juice and it’s fucking Grotesque. Never change you lovable noise-mongers.” – Games, Brrraiiins & A Headgbanging Life
