Watain announces “All That May Bleed” single release date

Posted by longhairedpoet on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 2:48 PM (PST)

Swedish black metallers Watain are preparing to release their single, “All That May Bleed” off of their upcoming album The Wild Hunt.

“All That May Bleed” will be released on May 25th in the USA.

The band had this to say on the release:

“‘All that May Bleed’ shows but one facet of a quite diverse album, but we chose this song as a first glimpse into ‘The Wild Hunt’ because of its bombastic lunacy and white-eyed malevolence which could be said to constitute a main foundation for the album. The lyric is an invitation to sacrificial blood letting, ecstatic zealotry and human sacrifice. The salt of Satan in the wounds of Christ!”

Side B will be a track called ‘Play With the Devil’ originally recorded by Taiwaz.

Finntroll release 6 minute video trailer for upcoming album “Blodsvept”

Posted by SeanB on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 5:23 PM (PST)

Finnish folk metal overlords Finntroll have released an epic six minute video trailer for their forthcoming album Blodsvept featuring some pretty bad-ass new artwork by guitarist Skrymer and song previews. I normally wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend an album trailer, but this one is most definitely worth checking out.

To view the trailer click right here.

Blodsvept will be Finntroll’s sixth album and the follow up to 2010′s Nifelvind. It is scheduled for release via Century Media on March 25th in Europe and March 26th in North America. The band has released the following comments regarding the album:

“Combining our trademark sound with even more influences from non- traditional genres in metal music, we have created 11 songs which show you everything we want to offer. And boy, wasn’t that one of the hardest tasks for some time. After all, how do you keep your sound fresh, yet familiar, after 6 albums and 15 years?

At some point, we were afraid that the songs are not melodic enough. Then we started to fear they became too melodic. Then we let the songs rest for a while and molded them more in a way that the non-melodic stuff got something to hum with, and the cheesy pop songs were arranged more stripped and aggressive. We were confident, yet sometimes scared what will people think of the stuff we’ve been doing so hard. What if they hate it? That would be fine, but if they would hate it because the material was uninspiring, boring and done-to-death, that would be a huge disappointment. So, we kept pushing and tried to keep it fresh all the time, while still having the ‘this has to be Finntroll because no other band sounds this insane’ – grinning going on.”

New Music: “Blodsvept” off Finntroll’s new album

Posted by Fireball13 on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 11:07 AM (PST)

finntroll-blodsvept-cover Finnish black metallers Finntroll have premiered the title track off their new album Blodsvept. You can check out the new song right here.

The band commented on the song: “‘Blodsvept’ is the track that sets the tone for this new abomination of an album. This song is perfect for driving – Driving for your life, that is, while being chased by a gang of trolls, in a catapult, on a motorway! Pull out your sun-spectacles from your glove compartment and honk if you love blood and guts!!!”

Blodsvept is the band’s sixth studio album and was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki, Finland. Mastering duties were handled by Mike Jussila at Finnvox Studios. Henri ‘Trollhorn’ Sorvali and the band produced the album themselves, the album artwork was handled by the band’s own guitar player, Samuli ‘Skyrmer’ Ponsimaa, and even the production for the upcoming video clip will be the brainchild of the trolls.

The album is set to be released at the end of March/beginning of April via Century Media. Click right here to see a list of the actual release dates, an album tracklisting and a bigger picture of the album’s artwork.

Absu announce 26 city North American tour

Posted by SeanB on Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 3:49 PM (PST)

Texas based mythological occult metal group Absu have announced a special North American tour called The North American Connexus Conjuration. The band will be rolling through 26 cities starting April 5, 2012 and concluding May 4th. The band will be playing two full sets of music covering their entire 20 year career.

For a list of dates and venues click right here.

This will mark the band’s first tour since the 2010 release of the band’s seventh album Abzu. Vocalist and drummer Proscriptor had the following to say about the tour:

“Since the release of our latest recording, ‘Abzu’, the response has been extremely vehement and now is the perfect moment to commemorate the album’s essence throughout North America. We purposely waited until the timing was ideal to embark on this journey, as we shall contaminate the communities with our craft of mythological occult metal. We’re attempting to divide the concerts into two sections: the first act will showcase songs spanning from our entire discography, as the second act will focus on Phase Two from the album ‘Tara: The Cythrául Klan’s Scrutiny’. For the past couple of years, many of ABSU’s followers have requested specified songs from this chapter of ‘Tara’, so it is our aspiration to give the people what they want.”
