NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – May 27, 2021

Out Now On Vinyl! Arkansas’ PANTHEON “Age of Wolves”
Vinyl Out May 27th via Necrotic Records (North America),
Doc Records and Vidar Records (Europe), Old Shadows Records (South America)
Playing old-school blackened death thrash metal with groove elements, Arkansas’ Pantheon unleashes the vinyl edition of their first full-length “Age of Wolves”. The vinyl is now available as of May 27th from Doc Records and Vidar Records for Europe, Old Shadows Records for South America, and Necrotic Records for North America, whom the band originally unleashed the debut album digitally and on CD during July 2020. The vinyl features two exclusive bonus tracks “Arcane Oath” and the band’s cover of Black Sabbath’s “Hand of Doom”.
The band adds about the vinyl:
“Age of Wolves is an intricate merging of heavier, mid-paced poundage with the older, fast-paced death/thrash character. Its old-school styles will feel familiar and nostalgic to veteran metal fans, but does it in such a way that it feels new and fresh. We wanted to give the fans a throwback to the glory days of death metal and give them something they can headbang to and enjoy.”
“Age of Wolves” is a high-energy, brutal, dual guitar and vocal assault ready to melt faces upon first listen. It’s recommended for fans of Dissection, Carcass, At The Gates, and Dying Fetus.

Rockshots Records is proud to announce their signing of Helsinki, Finland’s Thy Row, which is helmed by Metal De Facto and Everfrost vocalist Mikael Salo for the debut album “Unchained” due out September 24th, 2021.

“The album serves up 10 songs of pure energy and mayhem. There will be great melodies spiced up with shakin’ riffs so turn up your knobs all the way to eleven and enjoy! We want our fans to be able to burst out their feelings and leave all the day-to-day stresses and worries behind.” adds the band.
“Unchained” follows Thy Row‘s 2019 independently released self-titled EP with its lead single “The Round” that reached over 110K streams on Spotify. The success of that EP gave the band the opportunity to tour Japan in 2019 with Beast In Black and Swallow The Sun.

0 Bravewords Premiere: Vancouver’s Param-Nesia Bind Savagery And Harmony Together In “Forsaken”
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – May 27, 2021
For fans of Black Dahlia Murder, Allegaeon, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Revocation
Vancouver’s Param-Nesia Bind Savagery And Harmony Together In “Forsaken”
Track Premiere via Bravewords
New EP “Aspect of Creation” Out June 18th, 2021
Param-Nesia, hailing from Vancouver, Canada are dishing out a new EP this year, “Aspect Of Creation”. This is their second technical death metal offering following “The Beginning” released in 2019. Today, they are dropping their next single “Forsaken” for your headbanging needs, which can be heard via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.
The band explains the track:
“Forsaken takes things in a more melodic direction, a bit more flair in the melodies, while still retaining the heaviness of the intro song before it (“Pestilence of Man”). It is distinguished by the harmonies and leads with savage vocal accompaniment and a powerful outro.”
Param-Nesia intends to take listeners through a story with their extreme metal, they don’t use traditional song structure, instead, they opt for something that flows and progresses in an engaging way. Their music is written from life experiences with emotion and heart put into it.
For Param-Nesia, all of the main writing is composed by lead guitarist Andy Cahalin, his process is usually stringing together several riffs, then recording a rough draft to go over with the band. The lyrics are written between vocalist Cayle Charlton and Cahalin. For Charlton, the lyrics are based in life experience such as heartbreak, or struggle with overcoming obstacles to grow from the experiences; for Cahalin, the lyrics are usually inspired by all the crazy fantasy fiction books he reads!
The five tracks on the forthcoming EP cross subgenre boundaries making this brutal assault applicable for most metalheads, especially fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, Allegaeon, and At the Gates.
“Aspect of Creation” comes out June 18, 2021.

0 The Progress Report: May 2021 – Heavy Music Headquarters – The Wring
The Progress Report: May 2021 – Heavy Music Headquarters – The Wring “One can hear the influence of many classic prog metal bands on Wring² Project Cipher, most notably Tool and modern forerunners Soen. Marc Bonilla (Keith Emerson, Glenn Hughes) provides strong vocals and Dewulf’s group of session players bring plenty of depth to the material. While only clocking in at a paltry 30 minutes, The Wring show that they are capable of laying down some serious prog riffs and melodies. Definitely worth checking out.” https://heavymusichq.com/the-progress-report-may-2021/
