Frogg – A Reptilian Dystopia ““A Reptilian Dystopia” is absolutely a solid, proggy technical metal release, with all the time signature changes, insane scale runs, and gorgeous harmonies you’d expect from modern progressive shredders. Pulling no punches the EPs first track ‘Ancient Rain’ is a constantly changing beast of a track, shifting from blast beat heavy punishing riffs to entrancing melodies. I found it hard to get bored during its three and a half minutes of beautiful aggression… This guy is a beast on the axe, clearly, a great musician and I look forward to seeing this band do very well in the near future… if you’re into some proggy technical goodness, definitely for fans of bands like Obscura, The Zenith Passage or Fallujah.” – Roxx100 https://roxx100.com/2020/01/03/frogg-a-reptilian-dystopia/

0 Sleepwraith – Day Terrors “from the brutal low gutturals to the ear-piercing highs and even the clean vocals mixed into several songs, the vocal range was amazing to me. The vocals aren’t the only thing that caught my eye though, the man behind the drum kit can tear it up with the best of them, and so can the guitarist, but that’s just my humble opinion. Some of my favorite songs from this album are ‘The Aphelion Complex,’ ‘The Vile Raptured,’ ‘Sol’ and ‘Dystory.’ ‘The Aphelion Complex’ being the first song on the album is definitely an attention grabber… This song really gives the listener an idea of how the rest of the album will flow and it does not disappoint. In conclusion, I would recommend that any fan of metal check these guys out, and pick up this album once it drops on January 17, 2020. This album is well done from front to back and is on that shouldn’t be missed.” – ROXX100.com

CHRONICLES OF HATE Unleash Music Video For Title Track From Debut Album ‘The Birth Of Hate’ Out Feb 28th
Italian death metallers CHRONICLES OF HATE have unleashed their music video for the title track and first single off their upcoming debut album “The Birth of Hate” due out February 28th via EXTREME METAL MUSIC.

Formed in 2016 by guitar players Riccardo D’Angelo and Roberto Simonetti, CHRONICLES OF HATE was raised from the depths of hell with the clear purpose of blending the solid impact of traditional death metal with grooving vibes. Their lyrics are inspired by real events that feed the anger and strong emotions that occur in our daily lives. Influenced by the old school pioneers of the genre such as At The Gates, In Flames, Death, their debut “The Birth of Hate” is a personal interpretation of the tendencies from both old and modern metal.
The band adds about the full length and single:
“The title track off the album, ‘The Birth of Hate’ is inspired by Swedish death metal. It talks about the effects of a catastrophic event and politic corruption. When human values are forgotten, hate takes place. The album itself is our first creation and is the beginning of our adventure. It’s a journey through the facets of the anger and motivations that feed it. This album talks about strong emotions and the breaking point from which you cannot go back. We mix different elements of metal for this release, you will find breakdowns, and you will find fast death metal riffs along with intentional melodic parts to give it our own personal sound.”

0 Heavy Music Headquarters – Sleepwraith – Day Terrors (Self)
“Sleepwraith’s Day Terrors dabbles in very serious topics. Depression, suicide, and personal demons are all captured in stark imagery. Vocalist Seedy Mitchell put on a showcase with a varied approach to his vocals, including cutthroat growls and emotive melodies, giving heft to the topics at hand…” – Heavy Music Headquarters
