Edmonton black grind duo SOPHIST are offerings fans of brutality and scorching riffs a FREE download of their debut EP “Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto” that was just unleashed this past August.

The band is making the FREE download only available online for a 48hrs, from Friday, Sept 13 until Sunday, Sept 15th 11:59 pm MT via the band’s Bandcamp.

Having just formed mere months ago, the duo of SOPHIST worked breakneck speed to unleash their debut EP “Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto”.

A frantic blend of grindcore and black metal, SOPHIST takes inspiration from bands such as Anaal Nathrakh, Mayhem, and Napalm Death to create a sound that is unholy as it is blistering fast. The lyrical content revolves around the esoteric and occult, much of the inspiration for the lyrics on here came from an alchemical text called Hermaphrodite Child of the Sun and Moon.

“Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and CD Baby.


Track Listing:
1. Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto (3:15)

Edmonton Black Grind Duo SOPHIST Streaming Debut EP via NoCleanSinging

EP ‘Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto’ Out August 16th

Having just formed mere months ago, the duo of SOPHIST from Edmonton, Canada have been working at breakneck speed to release their debut EP “Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto”, which is coming this Friday, August 16, 2019.

Before the EP officially drops, the band of two have teamed up with NoCleanSinging.com, for the release’s full stream at the following link here.

A frantic blend of grindcore and black metal, SOPHIST takes inspiration from bands such as Anaal Nathrakh, Mayhem, and Napalm Death to create a sound that is unholy as it is blistering fast. The comment on the sound they are presenting to their new fans:

“The EP is comprised of frantic beats and buzzsaw riffs. The songs are structured atypically, tons of blast beats and tremolo picking. High-pitched and low pitched vocals with many layers. It’s like a choir of evil the whole way through.”

With lyrical content revolving around the esoteric and occult, much of the inspiration for the lyrics on here came from an alchemical text called Hermaphrodite Child of the Sun and Moon.

Anyone who enjoys ridiculous tempos and grinding riffs should have a great time with this valiant first effort from SOPHIST.

“Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto” will be available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and CD Baby.

Track Listing:
1. Betrothal To The Stone: Conception of Mephisto (3:15)
2. Choke On Your Own Bile (5:10)
3. A Captive of Saturn’s Scythe (2:52)

Hailing from the ashes of Charlotte, USA’s darker side comes forth the blackened death trio, OCULUM DEI. Mixing different elements and influences of black metal, the band unleashed their debut full length “Dreams of Desire and Torment” this past February.

Teaming up with NoCleanSinging.com, these unholy demons are sharing their latest NSFW music video for their track ‘Ghost In The Corridors’ at the following link (warning does contain nudity) https://www.nocleansinging.com/2019/06/04/an-ncs-video-premiere-oculum-dei-ghost-in-the-corridors/

The band explains the video:

“‘Ghost In The Corridors‘ is a song lyrically and visually about battling demons with oneself and the struggles upon the flesh and mind that can play out. Sensually in the video, we the band are placed in a corridor-like setting to show how we’re trapped within ourselves there, while a lady is shown struggling and hurting herself from her issues. There is a glimpse of a darkened figure that represents the demon that is haunting and causing her to harm herself. and in the end credits the demon’s face is revealed — and this was our way of introducing our newest member Nadir, who will be taking over the keys, synth, and organs (we featured him as a guest musician on the track ‘A Mist of Heaven Inside of Hell’).”  

Oculum Dei‘s “Dreams of Desire and Torment” is available for stream and download on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon.

First forming as a studio project in 2016 by Tenebris (bass/drum and keys programming), Camalus (guitar) and Zebulv (vocals/guitar), Oculum Dei has taken their influences of Emperor, Behemoth and Dark Funeral and push an eclectic unholy blasphemy as far as it will go in the Southern USA’s Bible Belt.

The band adds:

“The album as a whole is an eclectic mix of slow dark black metal jumping into extreme black riffs sometimes slowed down with a death metal riff and into acoustic guitars. There is no set template for this one, just a groove and feel that each of us has brought to the table.”

Hellbent to unleash their demonic war chants from their debut full length “Dreams of Desire and Torment” on February 22, 2019, the band is sharing their latest music video “Involuntary Pandemic”. The track is an intense brutal force, a violent asking about where God is when bad shit happens and why one should be a believer, especially when a child is being harmed or murdered.

Bassist/ drummer Tenebris adds:

“Involuntary Pandemic is almost a straight death metal blast to the face with Zebs well place rant on religion, the hypocrisy of the church and asking where are your Gods when bad stuff happens.”

Hellbent to unleash their demonic war chants from their debut full length on February 22, 2019, the band is sharing the latest music video for the album’s title track “Dreams of Desire and Torment”.

“The title itself explains the mood changes within the lyrics and the instruments, it goes from a calming deep trance of thought into a chaotic atmosphere of frustrations where basically one is conflicted within them-self dreaming of desires and wants, but being tormented having the dreams knowing they will never happen.”

Hailing from the ashes of Charlotte, USA’s darker side comes forth the blackened death trio, Oculum Dei. Mixing different elements and influences of black metal, the band is set to bring forth a horde of darkness and engage listeners into a realm of deep, chaotic experiences.

First forming as a studio project in 2016 by Tenebris (bass/drum and keys programming), Camalus (guitar) and Zebulv (vocals/guitar), the band has taken their influences of Emperor, Behemoth and Dark Funeral and push an eclectic unholy blasphemy as far as it will go in the Southern USA’s Bible Belt.

Not content to remain as a studio project, the trio has begun performing locally and have shared the stage with Carach Angren, Wolfheart, and Mors Principum Est. Clad in corpse paint with an elaborate and continuously evolving stage show, Oculum Dei has heavily invested into their extreme visionary madness.

A team effort behind all their songwriting, Oculum Dei has been working on their first album for almost three years and now the dark demonic war chants of their debut “Dreams of Desire and Torment” will be unleashed on February 22, 2019.

The band comments:

“The album as a whole is an eclectic mix of slow dark black metal jumping into extreme black riffs sometimes slowed down with a death metal riff and into acoustic guitars. There is no set template for this one, just a groove and feel that each of us has brought to the table.”

The first single off the debut “Blinded By Gods” is a tribute to old school black metal with riffs and slings lyrics towards Christianity being a fake while saying only God exists in us.
