Amidst their festival season, symphonic metal titans EPICA make a powerful return with another live single from their upcoming digital EP, Live At The AFAS Live. Originally the title track of their second studio album, and one of EPICA’s heaviest tracks, ‘Consign To Oblivion’ has not only become a real classic but also the ultimate final song of most EPICA shows, always starting with an obligatory wall of death right after the intro.

Mark Jansen comments, “Over the years ‘Consign to Oblivion’ became our favorite track to conclude our shows with. Every time we tried another track, it never had the same impact as Consign to Oblivion. I’m happy everyone can now witness the live version that we played in Amsterdam to a fantastic home-country-crowd!”

July 26, 2023 Evol Radio

Los Angeles progressive death metal group, THE ZENITH PASSAGE, releases their second full-length studio album, “Datalysium,” via Metal Blade Records. The album features an overhauled lineup, including original guitarist/keyboardist/backing vocalist Justin McKinney, guitarist Christopher Beattie, vocalist Derek Rydquist, and bassist Brandon Giffin. “Datalysium” showcases the band’s blend of technical head-fuckery, atmosphere, melody, and shifting dynamics, capturing the listener’s undivided attention throughout.

Check out the video for the title track, “Datalysium,” here.

Decibel Magazine praises the album, likening the songs to a creepy daddy longlegs spider, while Metal Injection simply states, “it rips!”

The album was recorded at various locations, with McKinney’s home studio and Rydquist’s apartment being primary spots, and vocals tracked at Flatline Audio with Dave Otero, who also mixed the album. The release is available in standard LP, limited-edition LP, CD, and digital formats. You can get it at metalblade.com/thezenithpassage.
