With a fresh lineup and a new musical direction, ATRIA’s new EP “Ground Zero” gets very personal to exorcise the darkness of the mind, the frustrations of life, and battling your inner demons. Lead lyrically by vocalist Tom Emmans, the EP is his personal outlet to express his observations of the world. He explains further:

“I find myself in a world that I barely believe in, I try to be hopeful when I can but at the end of the day, we’re all just a little broken. I am expressing the broken side so I can be healthy when I walk off stage. It’s therapeutic, cathartic, but it’s really hard. It comes from a real place and it’s not always fun. Musically, for this record, it’s definitely gotten more aggressive, we always wanted to blend a lot of melodies and an anthemic chorus’ with brutality. I feel like the fans will agree that on this new one, we’ve gotten much better at doing that.”

Teaming up once again with producer Jon Howard (Threat Signal), and a new lineup that features Jerad Sterling (Tortured Saint) on drums, Brody King on lead guitar, and bassist Joe Mullen to join founding members vocalist Tom Emmans (Odium, Deathpoint, Choices, Scaithe) and guitarist Tim Ross, “Ground Zero” is an anthemic five track jolt of crushing infectious metalcore.

From its award-winning single “Antiheroes” (“Best Metal”- 2023 Forest City London, ON Music Awards) that captivates with its riffs and simply impossible-to-forget chorus, it sinks in and does not let go as you flow from each track to the next and let the music guide to the messages the band is expressing. “Antiheroes” is about losing faith in government and media, “Dysmorphia” is about body dysmorphia and the way the media will sell you a dream that will never come true, to “Just a Number”, a song about knowing how hard you work every day and feeling you’re nothing more than a cog in a machine and it’s all pointless, to EP closer “The Brightest Lights’, a lullaby to an unborn dead child.

Recommended for fans of Avatar, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Soilwork, and Killswitch Engage, ATRIA‘s second EP “Ground Zero” is due out on August 18, 2023, and before it officially drops, the band has teamed up with MetalInsider for its full stream premiere HERE.

The EP is available for pre-order at https://atriaofficial.bandcamp.com.

Forest City London, ON Music Awards – Best Metal Band – 2023

“Atria are from Ontario, Canada, and ‘New World Nightmare’ is their debut EP and what a little gem it is… Atria were a very nice surprise this month and are now band I will be looking out for in the future, because a full album of material this good will be very special. 9/10 – Power Play Magazine UK

“As this is the bands first outing, it is a strong start. I can see them being part of a regular playlist of mine as they are the exact kind of band I listen to. Metalcore is a very selective genre when it comes to what is involved, with bands drifting away from it every day. Atria have found the spot they want and are already planting their feet into the ground of the Canadian metalcore scene. I can see these guys playing a huge festival in the near future.” – Canadian Beats

“Citing Tool, Slipknot and Lamb of God as primary influencers, Canadian rookies Atria get the blood rushing on their inaugural EP. Despite inhabiting that familiar sonic sphere, it’s how they mystically stitch melodic passages with headbanging sequences that elevate them above the chaff. Scrumptious sonic trimmings are merely icing on the industrial cake. Yet at only four songs this searing thunderbolt of heavy metal domination serves mostly as a down payment on future excellence. Mosh on.” – Music Connection

“this is definitely a band to keep an eye out for when they release a full-length.” – Metal Temple

“A Canadian act willing to fuse together elements of melodic death and modern metal to pummel your senses, Atria unleash a fierce and engaging debut four-song EP with New World Nightmare.” – Dead Rhetoric

“The fact is that Atria, apart from all influences and using all influences, delivers a nice calling card with New World NIghtmare that we can do with for the time being. However, it is a business card that is neatly stored until further notice. I’m sold.” – Rock Portaal

0 Chile’s J.P. Krom Conjures The Mystical With “Luna Plutón” Off Upcoming Gothic Metal EP “AstroMetal”

August 17, 2023

· J.P. Krom · Music News

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 17, 2023

Chile’s J.P. Krom Conjures The Mystical With “Luna Plutón” Off Upcoming Gothic Metal EP “AstroMetal”

A son of Poseidon, J.P. Krom is a Chilean writer/composer, singer/guitarist, and one of a few who cultivate the gothic metal style in the country. His music is a blend of astrological /esoteric concepts overlaid with the sounds and structures of gloomy metal, which are further enhanced with stunning visuals. Initially inspired by an astral chart, an irresistible invitation to the esoteric he began to hone his classical training into the both brooding and effervescent music that is found on the third album “AstroMetal” set to be released later this fall. In the meantime, he offers the Spanish single “Luna Plutón”, which invokes harmonious leads and bassy vocals that draw you in. Krom comments:

“Luna Plutón tells us about dark family secrets, kept in the dark of our minds. Secrets we all have, and some know and they use them to manipulate, generating resentment and an obsession with these emotions fixed in the deep. It seems that nothing can purge our blame, that most of the time we try to deny.”

“Astrometal” contains six intense, deep, and powerful tracks, which are an obvious evolution from the 2021 EP “YOD”, affirming the gothic metal style that better suits J.P. with his “smoke voice”. Alongside “Luna Plutón”, the forthcoming EP has tracks “Woman Hermit” (dedicated to a Tarot card), “I Tried” (for Venus and Saturn), and “Breaking the Walls”, which features an epic symphonic arrangement that takes us to the past through ancient times. “You & I” is a love song, a declaration from a father to his son, and finally rounded out with the experimental-electronic track “I Don’t Feel Love”, a sad and introspective tune.

With “Astrometal”, the listener is invited to travel to dark passages, with sticky melodies, and uncover an esoteric listening experience, a polished and powerful sound, with a deep “smoky” voice crooning out into the abyss. J.P. Krom is recommended for fans of Type O Negative, Lacrimas Profundere, and Paradise Lost.

“With an imprint that he himself defines as Astrometal, uniting everything related to zodiacal signs and astrology with the heaviest sounds, the band showed its own in a half hour that had the support of the first assistants who arrived at the Chocolate Club. With a good closeness to those present, the leader and his companions drew applause with his proposal influenced by Type O Negative or The Sisters of Mercy, among several others, presenting songs such as ‘Poison Girl’, ‘Tower of Destruction’ or ‘Abstract Illusion of an Existence’, taking advantage of advancing what will be its next studio release, which would arrive in August. With a lot of music still on the horizon, this local name showed its solidity in an event in which it was more than suitable, and clearly it was a great opportunity to reach more followers of this style, being approved by those who bet on the local Bellavista”. Rockaxis.com

“The one in charge of opening the great event was the Chilean musician J.P. Krom, where his band presented its unique musical style known as “Astrometal”, which is a curious creation mix of zodiac signs and astrology with powerful sounds and devastating riffs, which captivated the audience from the first moment, leaving people very attentive and paying attention to the artist’s show. The band also took the opportunity to give a taste of what will be their next album, scheduled for August.The event was the perfect setting to present their music to a wider audience, and demonstrated their ability to connect with fans of the genre. Without a doubt, a presentation that left all the attendees satisfied and happy in the Chocolate Club, with past songs already known as “Tower of Destruction”, a great song that was the peak of J.P. Krom’s presentation, with very heavy harmonies and a personal stamp in terms of technique and sonority, combinable with a strong influence to Type O Negative”. The Resistance.cl

0 KING OV WYRMS Unleash The Second Chapter of Black Metal Domination With “In Aeons We Spoke”; New Album “The Womb Ov Borealis” Out Oct 2023

Montreal, QC – August 16, 2023

King Ov Wyrms Unleash The Second Chapter of Black Metal Domination With “In Aeons We Spoke”

New Album “The Womb Ov Borealis” Out October 2023

L-R – Michael Oneirous Sanchez – Vocals, Guitars, Bass (Studio) – Ricky Williams – Drums

The hot winds of Tuscon, USA carry the cold and relentless black metal of King Ov Wyrms to eager metal heads around the world who are ready to dive into the latest album “The Womb Ov Borealis”, which takes listeners into new depths of the death and black metal realms. This is their second release, following 2020’s “Lord Ov Thrones” and the band cites that it is a step away, taking no inspiration from anything else and blindly embracing their creativity, forging their own identity and seeing where it takes them. This new look at the band first comes with the single “In Aeons We Spoke” which the band comments on:

“In Aeons is essentially the title track for us, it’s by far the biggest embodiment of the album and a great entryway into what’s about to come. The track starts out with the haunting bellowing sounds of otherworldly entities while we creep in with our instruments to set the stage for the horror we are trying to bring forth. It’s definitely the “attention grabber” of the album, and the instruments going in full force lets you know what this album is gonna give you straight from the beginning.”

King Ov Wyrms decided to take a chance this time around and make a music video actually featuring them performing the song even though they are primarily a studio project without a performing lineup. The band wanted the physical presence of guitarist/vocalist Oneirous and drummer Ricky Williams ushering in their new form. They have rebirthed themselves in the fires of chaos and come out even stronger than before with new drive and fervour.

Extreme and dark, “In Aeons We Spoke” is a massive step forward for the band, who have taken on a more diverse writing style and approach to the material. They almost have taken a more progressive approach to the material while staying close to their death and black metal roots. The video is available now via its premiere on SlamWorldwide at https://youtu.be/dZQ36xGDi-k

Recommended for fans of Belphegor, Vader, and Morbid Angel, King Ov Wyrms’ sophomore album “The Womb Ov Borealis” is due out on October 6, 2023, and is available for pre-order at https://kingovwyrms.bandcamp.com.

1. In Aeons We Spoke – 08:21
2. Grave Ov Birth – 04:08

6. Illusory Veil – 08:52

“Fury does indeed radiate from the music in violent waves. The song (Thorne Bearer) takes flight through rapid-fire drum battery and deep, dismal, heaving tremolo’d riffing that climbs and flares in manifestations of madness and misery, and squalls in blasts of vicious, mauling cruelty. Sanchez contributes his own vocals to the melee, venting horrid growls and scorching screams, which add to the music’s enraged and ferocious striking power. The song’s urgent pace never relents, but the drum patterns morph, as do the riffs, which feverishly squirm and flail as well as jolt and jar in savage, pulsing fashion. The jet-fueled energy and barbarous intensity of the music are both intense and captivating, and they’re joined in the red zone by sensations of rage and maniacal menace.” – No Clean Singing

“some beautiful, new extremity from King Ov Wyrms! Be on the lookout for their forthcoming album “Lord Ov Thornes”” – The Circle Pit

“King Ov Wyrms provide an unrelenting onslaught of classic death/black metal that should appeal to fans of Morbid Angel, Bloodbath, and Vader.” – Lambgoat

“Some pretty savage blackened death metal here. Lord ov Thornes is one of those albums that starts at full speed and doesn’t slow down much, if at all. Take 51 minutes of that and call me in the morning… If you’re at all a fan of very fast and heavy black and death metal and have been looking for a new band that does it well, King of Wyrms just delivered the goods for you.” – The Metal Crypt

“Lord Ov Thornes is a sickening effort that blazes with satanic and ritualistic power. Marvel in horror at what is crafted here, beginning with the unforgiving Threnody and the sheer brutality of The Great Sleeper. Within the first two tracks, it’s abundantly clear what we have here is something dredged from a well situated in hell.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“Lord Ov Thornes”, the debut album by KING OV WYRMS, a worthy contender in the late year heralding the cold and darkness that is coming for us. The man has left nothing to chance, electing to fill every position himself on both sides of the studio glass, and the end result is a consistent and thought-out fifty-one minutes of solid metal.” – Metal Temple

“it deserves a place on your playlist if you like your music heavy, malevolent and underpinned by Lovecraftian themes.” – Scream Blast Repeat

“King Ov Wyrms is blasting brutal death loaded with lots of black metal riffs and dual growl/shriek vocals, with a death/brutal production. Press “play” and watch this thing launch into linear relentless attacks of brutality over and over for the duration. It is almost totally nonstop blasting, energetic, superfast extremity only for the true love-it-all fanatics.” – Metal Bulletin

“King Ov Wyrms sees Sanchez present a straightforward, ruthless, rampaging festival of hard hitting, heavy riffs encased in a thick, apocalyptic atmosphere. Embodying the spirit of the classic late eighties and early nineties acts with a new, modern aggression… From the album’s cataclysmic opening with ‘Threnody’ to its closing dissonant chord found in ‘Ascendance Of A Continual One’ which echoes into the back void, this is a straightforward blackened death metal album that is out to take the scene by the throat.” – Noizze UK

Canada’s AUGURIUM Unleashes A Hauntingly Quivering Track “Inquisition Of The Possessed”

New Album “Unearthly Will” Out August 2023

+ Western Canadian Tour Dates (BC, AB, SK)

L-R – Taylor MacDonald – Drums, Logan Barlow – Lead Guitar, Yianni Pantelopoulos – Vocals, Cejay Carnochan – Rhythm Guitar, Reid Paraszczynec – Bass

The deathly howls of “The Inquisition of Possessed” from Canadian death metallers Augurium will take you on a full-force impact of brutality. It’s a relentless track of speed and complex experimental sounds. It’s the perfect opening track to introduce current and new fans to the band’s forthcoming album “Unearthly Will”.

“This is by far the band’s most intricate song. We’re firing off on all cylinders for this song to express our attempt to dispel misconceptions about religion, and to promote inner discernment.” adds vocalist Yianni Pantelopoulos.

The track can be heard via its lyric video premiere on SlamWorldwide at https://youtu.be/acv80cu4iXU

Augurium builds on expressions of old and new references within the world of heavy metal transforming influences from black, death, progressive, and grindcore metal to concoct an original sound. “Unearthly Will”, the band’s second album and third studio offering to follow 2018’s “Unhallowed Ascendance” and 2017 EP “Omen” is a fresh take on what Canadian death metal has to offer. With a new and evolved lineup, Augurium brings forth heavy, filthy riffs in a variety of time signatures and genre-blending aspects, over finely executed percussion and rhythm section, along with low guttural screams.

Augurium has Western Canadian tour dates planned with Hooker Spit, Raising the Ruins, Kryotic, and Cell during the months of August and September in support of “Unearthly Will”. They promise a brutally good time for those who attend one of their gigs and plan to deliver a polished, dark, expressive, and rewarding performance for each city they visit.

Unabating, haunting, and quivering, “Inquisition of The Possessed” is recommended for fans of Septicflesh, Belphegor, and Rotting Christ.

“Unearthly Will” is due out on August 25, 2023, and is available for pre-order at https://augurium.bandcamp.com.

Canada’s BLACK PESTILENCE’s Confront Arrogance With D-Beat Black Metal In Video “Mortal Rift”

New Album “Chaotic Wisdom” Out September 2023

Western Canadian Tour Dates (AB, SK, MB) w/ Citizen Rage

L-R – Daniel Toews – Guitar, Valax – Bass & Vocals, Davey Hellfire – Drums

Canada’s Black Pestilence has provided fans with a unique blend of punk rock and black metal since 2008. Impressively, they have produced six albums, with the seventh “Chaotic Wisdom” upon us soon. Lyrical themes are usually inspired by LaVeyan Satanism, current events, social issues, and the glorification of the Epicurean lifestyle. The second single “Mortal Rift” addresses the stratification within society. Vocalist/bassist Valax shares his thoughts:

“The weight of the arrogant will ultimately bring all of society down. This song begins with a quick samples-only intro which eventually leads into a d-beat sonic assault. I think we delivered on this album and the fans will get the same infectious sound this band is known for but with a different style of production.”

“Chaotic Wisdom” takes a darker and more analog turn in its overall sound. The band members used different techniques and allowed themselves to experiment more to ensure a better performance than the previous release.

Black Pestilence started back in 2008 when Valax decided to start a one-man black metal studio project with the purpose of combining black metal with elements of punk rock and noise. He wanted to create a band where there were no limitations to how the music should sound. Since then, the music has greatly evolved from how it used to sound in the early years, but still maintains its black metal core.

With a full frontal assault of energy and fast-paced black metal riffs, Black Pestilence continue to show they are powerhouses both on stage and in the studio. The single “Mortal Rift” will be enjoyed by fans of Toxic Holocaust, Impaled Nazarene, and Acidez.

Watch and listen to the music video for “Mortal Rift” via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

Their forthcoming album “Chaotic Wisdom” is due out on September 8, 2023, and available for pre-order at https://blackpestilence.bandcamp.com.

““Crushing” is indeed the first word that comes to mind when hearing the massive mauling tones of the riffs (The Devil’s Connection), like rock being excavated by some humongous machine. That machine drives forward with snapping punk beats, laced with a sinister yet glorious guitar melody. The music itself also becomes more vicious as the riffs start rapidly jabbing and then seething. But the music also channels darker and more despairing moods, before those two solos kick up the pulse and transform the music into an experience of evil ecstasy. The thing turns out to be a very catchy beast too.” – No Clean Singing

“A recent discovery that has tickled the excitement nerves in my jaded and encrusted ear drums is Calgary’s Black Pestilence. Their take on black metal incorporates old-school thrash and punk and if you listen closely you can hear the smatterings of plain ol’ rock ‘n’ roll and swaths of noise and is a sound that has been explored and nurtured since the band formed as a one-man project in 2008. The band’s handlers claim those fans of Toxic Holocaust, Impaled Nazarene, Municipal Waste, Midnight and Cradle of Filth unconcerned with genre boundaries will enjoy Black Pestilence and we have to say the nail has certainly been hit on the head in that regard. Additionally, fans of image and theatrics will find value in the band’s aesthetic which owes to a collision of black metal, goth rock and Judas Priest’s wardrobe and fashion sense. ” – Decibel Magazine

“Hail the Flesh is a nice, quick, in and out style album. There’s no messing around, there’s no overly extended bridges or songs that overstay their welcome. This is a 9 track album that only spans 34 minutes of constant, hard hitting riffs, blasts, and downright aggressive and dominative vocals. Even the final track on the album, “Ephemeral”, which nearly reaches 7 minutes in play time feels fresh the whole way through. ” – Metal Injection

“an album that really has a surprisingly wide range within the black/thrash/punk style so if you love that sort of black and roll aggressive metal, then “Hail The Flesh” will be an album for you.” – The Rockpit

“Calgary, Canada’s Black Pestilence bring a fresh take to the sound, though. Hail The Flesh, the band’s sixth full-length album is a blackened crossover punk-thrash album. It sounds old school, yet very 2000s at the same time…. Municipal Waste, Impaled Nazarene, Toxic Holocaust fans take notice.” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“They really don’t have another gear beyond ‘top’ which makes for a splitting headache of heavy but one that satisfies. After all there are only 9 tracks and as Godless spits and snarls, Frauds to the Throne exudes filthy groove, My Will to Power rages hard and Ephemeral drags the suffering out, the over-riding thought is Black Pestilence have impressed.” 8/10 – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“Honestly, anyone with the remotest interest in Black ‘n’ Thrash, Black ’n’ Roll or even just plain old Thrash is going to love this album. It is a blisteringly addictive listen. The skilfully fluid ways that all these genres are melded is both brilliant and compelling as well as being lyrically inspiring.” – MetalTalk.net

“First things first, it’s not every day you hear black metal as fun as this! That is partly because of the exciting thrash and not-so-serious punk influences, but also because the songwriting is very strong. ” 4/ 5 – The Independent Voice

“dirty, punky Black/Thrash that occasionally makes feedback noises and consistently slaughters everything in its path.” 4/5 – The Metal Crypt

0 Decibel Magazine Premiere – Streaming Now! NECRONOMICON EX MORTIS Releases Hair Raising Horror EP “Silver Bullet”

Streaming Now! NECRONOMICON EX MORTIS Releases Hair Raising Horror EP “Silver Bullet”

Top – Michael Bala – Guitar, Manuel Barbarà – Guitar
Bottom – Yusuf Rashid – Bass, Craig Schmul – Vocals, Joey Ferretti – Drums

Necronomicon Ex Mortis was formed by Michael Nystrom Bala out of a desire to combine elements of classic death metal, 80s shred worship, and gory lyrics about B-horror movies. Their debut S/T EP was released earlier this year and since there is no rest for the wicked, the follow-up EP “Silver Bullet” is upon us. The four tracks, presented with fury, were written specifically for this EP. They weren’t pulled from other projects or other albums, so that expectation was created going into the process. They strive to bring back the celebration of the twin guitar attack that bands like Iron Maiden and Racer X had. They share their excitement for the release:

“We’re excited to present this EP. We had a great time recording it and we feel live we’ve become even more comfortable with the music both individually and as a band. We think fans will notice the wide array of influences on this EP. We’re not just pulling from the same band or the same style of metal. Variety is the spice of life, kids.”

Necronomicon Ex Mortis was birthed when Bala wanted to take all his favorite things and have them in the same place. All his musical ideas, all of his favorite things about horror, and all of his favorite Paul Gilbert licks. He writes everything (Except for “Cycle of the Werewolf”, which guitarist Manuel Barbará wrote). He sits around and writes riffs and then does his best to rip off Yngwie and Paul Gilbert. He then asked Barbará to write the opening title track to a horror movie which he did with glee, spending the next 45 minutes going to town with his fretless guitar while his girlfriend tried to get him to do literally anything else.

This is just the start for the band, they have roughly 69 fully written songs ready to go that are both terrifying and titillating. You’ll be sleeping with the lights on after digging into “Silver Bullet”. It is recommended for fans of B movies, off-the-wall humor, The Black Dhalia Murder, Racer X, and Obscura.

Listen to the full-stream premiere of “Silver Bullet” via Decibel Magazine HERE.

The EP is due out on August 11, 2023.

“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

“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 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

“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

Israeli Prog NEOLIA Vocalist Shares Playthrough Video For “Day In Day Out” Off S/T Debut Out Now!

Album Mastered by Howie Weinberg (Metallica, Pantera, Nirvana)

Israeli proggers Neolia vocalist Ben Reiss is sharing his latest playthrough video for the track “Day In Day Out” off the Israeli prog band’s debut self-titled album released this May. Watch Reiss as he demonstrates his vocal techniques on this dynamic track full of groove, melody, and intensity via its premiere on TheProgSpace HERE.

“Day In Day Out describes life in captivity and being drugged daily, tortured, and brainwashed. It follows the convoluted emotional and thought process that many times leads people to madness and even suicide. As the twisted and painful reality unfolds also the music reveals itself, and while going through hints of African and Latin hints it keeps its heavy and dark foundation till finally reaches the coda part, which is my solo creation in a form of an acapella part that insinuates total madness.” adds Reiss.

An experimental, progressive slab of metal that fans have been flocking to local shows for, Neolia‘s debut record flows with haunting melodies and complex rhythms that have been crafted with care and precision. With a blend of progressive metal and experimental sounds, this album promises to take listeners on a sonic adventure like no other. Musically, the full-length is a reflection of years of soaking up music of different genres from rock to pop to world music and whatnot. It’s a fusion of bits upon bits of pieces absorbed and processed and then spat out from a personal perspective. In its musical aspect, it’s rock and metal based, but with a twist of African, Latin, Jazz, and ambient that reaches the spectrum of high and low, tender, extreme, and crazy.

Neolia formed to give to others and to encourage people to come together (A connection between souls). The band showcases their art in a few dimensions, one that’s personal, and spiritual and the other that is musical and expressive.

Recommended for fans of Protest The Hero, Coheed and Cambria, The Human Abstract, and Tool, Neolia‘s self-titled album was released on May 5th, 2023, and is available on https://neolia.bandcamp.com/album/neolia, Spotify – https://spoti.fi/3nsmoaf

“as the chaotic screams of Dance of Violence and the ever-contorting Rise and Fall attest, the rawness of their emotions often turns that into a positive. The slow-burning Anchors builds on moody tension, jarring textures melt into a soundscape that, across seven minutes, throws in heavy bursts, tender lulls and spiky rhythms. It’s a wildly diverse ride… Their ambition or vision can’t be faulted.” – Prog Mag

“This band is going to be huge. You know how Tool and the Mars Volta developed into their own sound and how they have a legion of devoted fans? That’s what Israel’s Neolia is about to do with this self titled debut album.” – Transcending the Mundane

“Karma”, (the video) accompanied by a beautiful shot somewhere in the deserts of Israel, has that fantastic balance of aggression and melody that I love about alternative metal. At its more frenetic moments, like the excellent transitions from the heavier moments near the end of the track and the more melodic chorus, it reminds me of The Mars Volta, and that is one big compliment. Elsewhere, Yerushalmi’s guest vocals are expertly utilized to balance the rawer, more harried vocals of the band’s own singer, Ben Reiss. Together, they present the major melodic force on the track, while the instruments deliver well written, complex, and undeniable groove. This mix is exactly what alternative metal is so good for, hitting on both the emotional and the visceral level of enjoyment. The track ends up being both interesting to dissect and take apart but also something you can move and sing to. If the band’s self-titled is as good as this, and the other tracks released so far seem to indicate that that is indeed the case, then we’re in for a treat. Make sure you head on over to the band’s Bandcamp to pre-order it; I think it’s going to be a lot of fun!” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

“Neolia’s Self-titled debut album is a reflection of years of soaking up music of different genres from rock to pop to world music and whatnot. It’s a fusion of bits upon bits of pieces absorbed and processed and then spat out from a personal perspective. In its musical aspect, its rock and metal based, but with a twist of African, Latin, Jazz, and ambient that reaches the spectrum of high and low, tender, extreme, and crazy.” – New Prog Releases

“Israeli prog metal outfit Neolia have a lot to offer on their self-titled debut. The band brings a ton of skill to the table, along with some excellent music influenced by such luminaries as Faith No More, Tool, and maybe even a bit of world music. They’re leaving it all out on the table for us here – warts and all. For a self-produced album, Neolia sounds really good.” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“A big classic metal, a bit metalcore, clean and harsh vox, a little progressive musically also.” – The Mosh Pit – WORT FM 89.9 (Madison, WI)

“Voici un album convainquant, écrit et interprété avec un cœur gros comme ça qu’il convient de noter sur sa wishlist… Here is a convincing album, written and performed with a big heart that should be noted on your wishlist.” – Profil Prog

EPK – CVINGER – Doctrines By The Figures Of Črnobog (2023)

Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com

(Slovenian black metal band with many details taken from death metal influences.)

Our concept represents the last step on the journey of departing from, fear, hate, love, humanity, conscience, and all the emotions that misguide us with subjectivity and temptations which are our worst enemies and a
gateway to self-destruction. The dissection of our weak body, for our soul to become free of the human curse
and to become the supreme being, to become God. Combined in interpreted in Slavic ancient paganism

WE ARE NOT PAGAN BLACK METAL, we craft Occult Slavic Black Metal – CVINGER

=================================

“After 7 years, we are returning with a new album. The album was written after meditation seances in
a cave of a prehistoric hunter. It is the fastest and most brutal album that we have created till now. The new album/single DOCTRINES BY THE FIGURES OF ČRNOBOG will be released by the Polish record label Via Nocturna on the 28th of August 2023. With the new creation, we are paying homage to the Slavic old faith, especially the occult and the dark aspect of it. The band has gone through some lineup changes, and by bringing in the new blood, we have changed the perspective of creating and redefining new hellish symphonies. Soon live rituals will follow in support of their new album.” – Cvinger

“Embodied in Incense sees Cvinger completely cast off the uncertainty of their debut and strike out as the leader of the Slovenian black metal scene.” (2018 – Metal Observer)

“The Enthronement ov Diabolical Souls should find a welcome home among the works of 1349, Marduk and Tsjuder. While the music still lives and breathes the second wave, Cvinger’s music no longer feels like paint-by-numbers black metal. Intense, blasting and dark; this Slovenian four piece has finally found their sound.” (2015 – Metal-Observer)

About The Album:
The whole album explores the existence of man in a Slavic spiritual realm. The splitting of his body and soul during the rites and incantations. It is a journey of lust madness, faith, and sorrow and questioning the existence of its mortality.

“DEUS TUUS IN FAMA DIABLOANIMAM TUAM”

This Black metal crusade by the name of Civnger began in the winter of 2012. It was founded by vocalist Lucerus, guitarist Bagot and drummer Kireg Maschine. Cvinger is an old Slovenian word with many meanings. One of them comes from the Turkish Wars or Ottoman War and was used for the first defense wall around the church later that word was used for a wall that separated the cemetery for those who committed suicide. Inspired by the dark middle ages our journey takes us to our first release: “LORDS OF PESTILENCE I TOO SHALL BECOME FALLEN”

In January 2013 We entered Truga studio for the first time to summon our first demo / single by the name of Abyss of Horns. This release was the first stone of our sound and atmosphere.

“SLAY THE WOLVESSO THE GOATS COULD RISE AND ENTER THE MONASTERY OF FALLEN”

In the Spring of 2013, we enter Truga studio for the second time to record the EP Monastery of Fallen. It was officially released on 16th July 2013. Later we filmed a music video for the title track. In the spring of 2014, our legion expanded. Morgoth joined as a new drummer and Obscurum as a bass player. On the 27th of June, we had our first live ritual to present our EP Monastery of Fallen.

“THE RULER OF FIRE AND DEATH TAKE THIS SOULS AND FEED THEM TO YOUR FLAMES”

On the 23rd of September, we entered Truga Studio again to record the first full-length album by the name: The Enthronement ov Dia-bolical Souls. While the album was being mastered we record the music videos for one of the tracks from the album by the name of Summoning. The album was released on the 1st of December 2014. We promoted The Enthronement ov Diabolical Souls with East Europe tour by the name ov: Diabolical Enthronement of east europe 2014 and later we joined Melechesh and Keep of Kelesian tour in May 2015.

“GUIDED BY SECRET WORDS WRITTEN BEHIND THE DOORS OF MASTERS CHAMBERS.A NEW FUNDAMENT RISES IN THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION”

In July 2016 we entered Truga studio again to record the single Enchanted Conclave as an announcement for 2nd full length album in 2016. Enchanted Conclave was released 1st of September and was premiered by the world’s most dangerous magazine TERRORIZER. Later we promoted the single on MARDUK – FRONTSCHWEIN: 2015 TOUR Europe Part 3.12 December 15ten we joined Gorgoroth, Kampfar, and Gehenna on the BLACK FEST OVER X-MASS2015 tour. That was our last tour for the year 2015. We started the year 2016 in Endarker studio in Sweden, recording a new album by the name: Embodied in Incense. The album was Produced by Magnus Devo Andersson and Cvinger. Shortly after we filmed a music video for the title track Embodied in Incense which was premiered by the world’s biggest extreme magazine Terrorizer. Embodied In Incense album was 1st time presented to the public for the 3 Weeks Headlining China tour! After the tour, we crafted a video for Track MARTYR SHRINE with Portuguese video producer Guilherme Henriques Silva, as promotion for our co – headlong tour with RAGNAROK, where Embodied in Incense was 1st time presented and spread via Europe.

“REBORN IN THE FIRE IN THE SIGN OF THE GODS HAND AS BEASTS THEY WILL HUNT FOR HIM HIS NAME WHISPERED IN THE SECRET IN THE WINTER NIGHTS”
After 7 years, Cvinger is returning with a new album. The album was written after meditation seances in a cave of a prehistoric hunter. It is the fastest and most brutal album that the band has created till now. The new album DOCTRINES BY THE FIGURES OF ČRNOBOG will be released by the Polish record label Via Nocturna in the autumn of 2023. With the new creation, they are paying homage to the Slavic old faith, especially the occult and the dark aspect of it.

With four albums under their belts already, Slovenia’s Cvinger returns seven years later to take listeners back into black metal darkness with “Doctrines By The Figures of Črnobog”. Originally creating death metal, they have diverged fully into the black metal underworld, playing festivals in Europe among some of the biggest names in the genre. This new album explores the existence of man in a Slavic spiritual realm whose body and soul are split during the rites and incantations. It is a journey of lust, madness, faith, and sorrow and questioning the existence of its mortality, and the first chance to dig your teeth into this aggressive offering is with a music video for the title track. The band comments:

“The album was written after meditation seances in a cave of a prehistoric hunter. It is the fastest and most brutal album that we have created till now. The new album/single “Doctrines By The Figures of Črnobog” will be released by the Polish record label Via Nocturna on the 28th of August 2023. With the new creation, we are paying homage to the Slavic old faith, especially the occult and the dark aspect of it. The band has gone through some lineup changes, and by bringing in the new blood, we have changed the perspective of creating and redefining new hellish symphonies. Soon live rituals will follow in support of the new album.”

This album was created as a stepping stone into a new chapter of Cvinger, who started with a raw and unpolished sound but with each EP/album that came forth, their production and composing became more advanced and most of all more personal. The album artwork was created by an amazing artist Mitchell Nolte. It represents a ritual of Slavs manifesting the obscure god of death and night Črnobog which in translation means the Black God.

Fast, destructive, and mystical, for Cvinger, a concert is not only playing their songs live. It is a ritual and a synergy of sound visualization and energy that is given to the listener. Join their rite by diving into “Doctrines By The Figures of Črnobog”. It is recommended for fans of Marduk, Mayhem, and Gorgoroth.

“Doctrines By The Figures of Črnobog” is due out August 28, 2023 via Via Nocturna (Physical) / Earache (Digital), and available for pre-order at https://cvinger.bandcamp.com
