Metal Riot

New York metal legends Immolation released the lyric video for “Indoctrinate,” the second single off their upcoming album Kingdom of Conspiracy. The album is due out in Europe on May 10th and in North America on the 14th via Nuclear Blast.

Check out the lyric video and the Kingdom of Conspiracy track listing below.

Awesome Italian symphonic death metal act Fleshgod Apocalypse are currently working on their third full-length with producer Stefano Morabito at 16th Cellar Studio. The album is due in August 2013 via Nuclear Blast records worldwide.

As if the sheer existence of this album wasn’t enough to get you pumped, guitarist and vocalist Tommaso Riccardi had this to say:

“The concept of this album is based on the myth of the Labyrinth of Knossos and every character related to it. We focused on the philological aspect in order to represent all the elements of the classic world and, through a manic and meticolous research, we managed to create a metaphor with our times, as the maze can be associated with the endless search for what we really are. We’re sure you will be stunned by this as much as we are.”

Pianist Francesco Paoli added:
“It’s difficult to recap in a few words all the elements contained in our new work, but we are sure this will absolutely be THE album for us.
We have spent a lot of time composing these new songs and, even if recordings are not finished yet, we can firmly declare that this material is simply incredible, more mature and definitely a huge step forward from all our previous works. Epic complex harmony, sophisticated touching melodies, a true vocal aggression, photonic grooves and back to articulated riffing… these are just few things you will find in this album.
It’s fucking quality music, you will see.”

Black metal staples Immortal just announced that they’re going to a release a limited edition 10″ vinyl box set of their last record, All Shall Fall, which was released back in 2009. The set will be limited to only 3x 333 copies (black, white, silver) and will be released on July 5 via Nuclear Blast Records.

All Shall Fall was released in North America on October 6, 2009 via Nuclear Blast. The album was recorded at Grieghallen and Abyss studios in Norway and Sweden, respectively.

Montreal death metal staple Kataklysm just announced the title for their upcoming album. Three years in the making, Waiting for the End to Come is tentatively scheduled for a late 2013/early 2014 release. As we previously reported, Chris “Zeuss” Harris (who has worked with people like Suffocation and Arsis) will be mixing the record. The band is scheduled to enter JFD studio in June/July.

Vocalist Maurizio Iacono had this to say:

“Well it’s been a seriously busy ride since our last album Heaven’s Venom was released over 3 years ago. From a successful world headlining run, to Ozzfest, into a recap of our 20 years as band with the Iron Will DVD. We’ve been writing in a very humble fashion behind the scenes for the last six months. It’s time to take Kataklysm to higher levels and dig deep into our capacities as musicians and songwriters. We know exactly what we have to do, that’s why we have taken our time and why we’ll be taking most of the Summer to complete the new album. The record will deal lyrically with mortality and the purpose of one’s being on this earth. The moment we are born we start to die. It’s a sort of deal we make with life, and with that I title the new Kataklysm album Waiting for the End to Come.”

Acclaimed Swedish melodic headbangers Gardenian finally announced that they’re actually getting back together after reuniting for a one-off concert at the inaugural edition of the Gothenburg Sound Festival at Trädgår’n in Gothenburg, Sweden three months ago. After being gone for almost 10 years, this is exciting news. Here’s their statement:

“Well, boys and girls. Here is the news we were talking about. We felt we wanted to do some more than one show. So right now we’re back together for real and we are in the process of making new songs for an upcoming album. When this album will be recorded and how it is going to sound is yet to find out. But this old bear has slept enough and we are ready to bite someone in the ass. Are you?”
