Amon Amarth Unleashes New Music Video and Digital Single ‘Heidrun’, and Announces Tour: Viking Metal Dominance Continues

August 5, 2023 Evol Radio

Swedish viking metal powerhouse, AMON AMARTH, continues its triumphant reign with the release of a captivating music video for their epic Valhalla anthem “Heidrun,” featured on their chart-topping album “The Great Heathen Army.” Additionally, AMON AMARTH presents an exclusive 4-track digital single of “Heidrun,” which includes a newly remixed version of the single, two exhilarating live bonus tracks, and a unique “goat remix” featuring actual goat vocals. Immerse yourself in the immersive music video for “Heidrun”

Watch Here

Explore the digital single on your preferred streaming platform.

Frontman Johan Hegg casts light on the mythological significance of “Heidrun”:

“Heidrun is an interesting mythological character, it’s a goat that stands on the roof of Valhalla eating the leaf of the big tree Lärad. The milk that she gives is the honey/mead that the warriors in Valhalla drink each night. The lyrics themselves are both about Vikings traveling the world but also metaphorically what it is to be a touring musician.”

“Heidrun” Digital Single Track List:

Heidrun (2023 Remix)
Heidrun (Live at Graspop, 2023)
Put Your Back into the Oar (Live at Hellfest, 2023)
Heidrun (Goat Remix)

Continuing their relentless onslaught, AMON AMARTH is currently blazing across the US alongside Ghost in the ‘Re-Imperatour USA 2023’ tour, comprising 25 monumental dates. This powerful tour also includes two extraordinary headline shows in Omaha, NE on August 10th with Creeping Death and 200 Stab Wounds, as well as Riverside, CA on September 9th with Gatecreeper.

AMARANTHE Unveils ‘The Catalyst’ Album at Wacken: A New Era of Modern Metal Emerges

August 5, 2023 Evol Radio

This afternoon, the holy ground for heavy music, the sacred space for metal heads, saw the beginning of another glorious chapter for one of the brightest modern metal stars to date. Swedish six-piece AMARANTHE announced the release of their upcoming album The Catalyst live on stage after their bedazzling performance on Wacken’s main stage.

“So at last it is official! This has been a long time in the making, and more effort went into this album than any previous AMARANTHE record. You have already gotten a taste of what’s to come on Damnation Flame, but as the most varied and eclectic AMARANTHE album to date, expect the unexpected! We cover a lot of musical ground on ‘The Catalyst,’ but the core of what we are about creatively is completely intact. It will be immediately obvious that you are listening to AMARANTHE, as much as it will be immediately obvious that this is both a leap forward as well as a step up. Can’t wait for all of you to hear what we have been cooking, as well as seeing us perform these pristine new songs on the road SOON!”, guitar player Olof Mörck states about this moment.

The Catalyst will see the light of day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be available digitally and in different physical formats including CD, Vinyl, and a 2CD Special Edition.

Presave or preorder your format of choice here.

The Catalyst is the most conceptually coherent piece of work in AMARANTHE’s storied history. Dedicated to notions of transformation and revelation, it delves deeper than any previous album, as Olof Mörck explains.

“We’ve done these things before, but we’ve never been as theatrical as we have this time,” Mörck grins. “In fact, we all questioned whether we went too far this time, but I also figured that this band was always this way. Literally, the first seconds of our first video was a big explosion! But yes, The Catalyst is more theatrical than ever. We’ve never really been symphonic or orchestral before, but this time we just thought why not? Because we can! The key to this album is that we let go of the boundaries and decided to do something even more adventurous.”

The Catalyst represents the culmination of 15 years of hard work and the breathless pursuit of a wholly original musical vision. Change is inevitable. Victory is assured.

AMARANTHE LIVE 2023

05.08. FI Lieto – Smuggler Rok

10.08. ES Villena – Leyendas Del Rock

17.-19.08. CZ Moravský Krumloch – Rock Castle

20. – 24.09. DE Berlin – Full Metal Cruise

01.12. FI Jyväskyla – John Smith Rock Frozen

02.12. FI Joensuu, Unholy Winter Fest

Formed in 2008, AMARANTHE walked their own unique path from the start. With a sound that combined the sharpest, cutting edges of melodic metal, electronic rock, and razor-sharp pop, their impact was immediate and undeniable. Kicking off with their self-titled debut in 2011, the Swedes blazed a trail through the European metal scene and beyond, swiftly establishing themselves as a dazzling one-off, not least due to the unprecedented triple vocal attack that paired clean tones with exquisite melodic sensibilities and feral growls. Over the next few years, the sextet steadily grew in stature, releasing a series of praised studio records that jabbed persistently at the boundaries of modern metal.

Elize Ryd | vocals

Mikael Sehlin I growls

Olof Mörck | guitars, keyboards

Johan Andreassen | bass

Morten Løwe Sørensen | drums

KHEMMIS treated fans to the two-song EP “Where The Cold Wind Blows” in 2023, available digitally and as a limited edition 7″. This release followed their critically-acclaimed 2021 album “Deceiver.” CONJURER, on the other hand, was on the road promoting their latest offering, “Pathos,” released in 2022.

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.

Armored Saint Cancels Second Leg of North American Tour with W.A.S.P.

July 26, 2023 Evol Radio

The eagerly anticipated second leg of ARMORED SAINT’s North American tour supporting W.A.S.P. has been canceled due to extensive back injuries suffered by W.A.S.P.’s Blackie Lawless during the European leg of the run. The tour will be canceled so Lawless can complete a full recovery. Tickets and VIP packages can be refunded at the point of purchase.

ARMORED SAINT vocalist John Bush comments, “To say we are super bummed about the tour being canceled would be an understatement. We were all prepping hard, and I was looking forward to turning 60 years old in Wheeling, West Virginia. That being said, we understand Blackie’s physical condition and we stand behind him and hope for a speedy recovery. Thank you to all the fans who purchased tickets and VIP packages. The Concert Tickets and VIP packages can be refunded at the point of purchase. Armored Saint VIP Upgrade holders should go to national-acts.com for a full refund. Thank you for all your loyalty as always! I’m gonna turn a negative into a positive and let you know that his little snafu has allowed us to start writing songs for a new record. It’s sounding killer!”

SYLOSIS REVEAL VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK OF NEW ALBUM’A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME’

July 22, 2023 Evol Radio

The UK’s heavy metal machine SYLOSIS unveils the title track of their brand-new album, ‘A Sign Of Things To Come’. The new song speaks from Josh Middleton’s position as a new father and his fears of the world that his children will one day inherit.

Josh comments “‘A Sign Of Things To Come’ is a declaration of dismay towards the modern world. It’s about the anxiety of what the future holds and the feeling of division in a society where everyone is pitted against each other. This was the last song to be written for the album. It quickly became apparent that this was going to be one of the biggest, most anthemic songs on the record.”

A Sign Of Things To Come Tracklist

Deadwood
A Sign Of Things To Come
Pariahs
Poison For The Lost
Descent
Absent
Eye For An Eye
Judas
Thorns
A Godless Throne

Produced by Josh Middleton, alongside production legend, Scott Atkins, A Sign Of Things To Come has challenged SYLOSIS into brand-new territory.

“This is the first time I’ve allowed myself to be produced; taking on some brutal criticism and pushing myself to deliver the best vocal performance of my career. I’m a big fan of progressive and long albums, but I was ruthless on myself during the whole process. I think that shows in the final result on the record!” Josh states.

Capra Unveils “Errors” Album Details and Debut Single/Video “Tied Up”!

July 22, 2023 Evol Radio

Metal Blade Records / Blacklight Media Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of “Errors,” the highly anticipated sophomore album by metallic hardcore outfit Capra. Scheduled to drop on October 6th, the record promises to build on the band’s compelling debut, featuring raucous energy, frantic riffs, and the raw, soul-searing vocals of Crow Lotus.

Metropolis Records and Zanias Join Forces to Unleash Chrysalis, an Electrifying Journey of Genre-Defying Art Pop!

July 13, 2023 Evol Radio

Metropolis Records is Proud to Welcome ZANIAS
Metropolis Records has partnered with Fleisch Records to release the new album Chrysalis in North and South America.

Since 2014, Zanias has existed as the unrepentant creative venture of Alison Lewis, born in Australia, raised in Southeast Asia, and also known for her vocal work with Linea Aspera, Keluar and a record shelf’s worth of collaborations with the likes of Black Rain, Ancient Methods, Dax J, I Hate Models and Infravision.

As the sole custodian of Fleisch Records she spent many years attuning herself to Berlin dancefloors through the timely collision of techno and electronic body music, but her true passion is for understanding the modality of emotions through songwriting. Sound is her psycho-spiritual catharsis and philosophical exploration of existence, expressed through an intense vocal performance, evocative melodies and heavy rhythmic components.
With this signature structure she seeks to reinvent her own brand of ethereal pop: atmospheric, multi-layered and as alien as it is authentically, vulnerably human.

The creation of ‘Chrysalis’ was a retreat from a seemingly endless string of unfortunate events, a cocoon from which Zanias could weave hope from hopelessness. In each of its eight songs she has engineered unique worlds to express alternate facets of the modern human experience, from burnout and the toxicity of capitalism to processing death and the inherent isolation of personal trauma.

Written and recorded between Berlin and the rainforest of Queensland, Australia, the sound design of ‘Chrysalis’ reflects the rich biodiversity of the latter environment, where she drew much of her inspiration. Her voice shifts and morphs into ghostly, alien forms between catchy hooks that plant this album firmly in the ‘pop’ genre, without losing the underground rawness and lyrical depth for which she is known.

With her third full-length album, Chrysalis, Zanias is expressing her truest form thus far, fusing her seemingly discordant influences into a genre-defying electronic art pop, as dark and evocative as it is ethereal and uplifting.

Cognitive Sets the Metal Scene Ablaze with Their Latest Single and Explosive US Tour!

July 13, 2023 Evol Radio

Prepare yourselves for an onslaught of bone-shattering death metal as New Jersey’s Cognitive releases their scorching new single, “Rot Eternal.” This blistering track is a glimpse into the band’s upcoming album, promising a relentless assault on your senses. Brace yourself and give it a listen:

“Rot Eternal” was the second composition to emerge from the depths of Cognitive’s creative cauldron. During their pre-production recording, the band realized they had something truly extraordinary on their hands. The repetition of riffs, the earth-shattering slam in the middle, and the unexpected outro all flowed seamlessly, creating a unique and captivating experience. Accompanied by Dahmer Art’s artwork, which perfectly captures the song’s lyrical theme revolving around everyone’s favorite topic—zombies—the single is a thrilling stand-alone release. But that’s not all, as the band teases the arrival of their new album next year!

But that’s not the only news from Cognitive—these masters of mayhem are currently embarking on a month-long North American tour alongside Portugal’s Analepsy. The Quiescence Tour kicked off on July 7th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and will continue until August 5th, concluding in Brooklyn, New York.

Prepare yourself for a relentless onslaught of brutal music as Cognitive dominates the stage, supported by the thunderous sounds of Wormhole and NecroticGoreBeast.

Svalbard Announces Highly Anticipated Studio Album ‘The Weight Of The Mask’ and Releases Captivating Single/Video ‘Faking It’

July 13, 2023 Evol Radio

Bristol-based band, Svalbard, has just unveiled the exciting news about their long-awaited studio album, ‘The Weight Of The Mask,’ which is set to be released on October 6th through Nuclear Blast Records.

Accompanying the announcement is the release of their powerful single, ‘Faking It,’ accompanied by an engaging music video. The track delves into the struggles of dealing with depression and the realization of wearing a mask to navigate through life. Svalbard’s music aims to provide solace and support during people’s darkest moments, and ‘The Weight Of The Mask’ fearlessly explores the themes of mental illness and depression to help destigmatize these important topics.

Serena Cherry, the lead vocalist and guitarist of Svalbard, describes the album as a testament to fighting one’s inner demons with unwavering determination. The songs on this record showcase a transformation from depression to aggression. While the creation of ‘The Weight Of The Mask’ was a challenging and painful process, it ultimately proved to be cathartic. The album represents two years’ worth of internal darkness that has now been unleashed.

The track ‘Faking It’ sheds light on the emotional disconnect caused by depression, where individuals feel compelled to put on a façade, isolating themselves from genuine human connection. The lyrics explore the pressures of forced positivity and the fear of not being accepted when expressing one’s true emotions. Svalbard questions the roots of society’s intolerance towards depression and challenges the expectations of constant happiness.

The captivating ‘Faking It’ video employs deliberate binary oppositions to emphasize the song’s message. It juxtaposes glossy, smiling shots filmed in an artificial setting known as The Selfie Factory with dark and expressive performance footage that represents the internal struggle individuals face.

Watch the ‘Eternal Spirits‘ video here:

‘The Weight Of The Mask’ was recorded at The Ranch Production House in the UK. The album was expertly produced and mixed by Lewis Johns, with Grant Berry handling the mastering. Engineering duties were carried out by Lewis Johns, assisted by Matt Janke, with additional editing by Kel Pinchin and Sebastien Sendon.

Renowned artist and illustrator Hestor Aspland created the stunning album artwork, which beautifully captures the essence of Svalbard’s melodies. The intricate floral elements represent the sonic beauty within the music, while the somber animal skull mask symbolizes the lyrical content. Collaborating with Hestor was a dream, and Svalbard is thrilled with the art she has created for them.

Here is the tracklist for ‘The Weight Of The Mask’:

Faking It
Eternal Spirits
Defiance
November
Lights Out
How To Swim Down
Be My Tomb
Pillar In The Sand
To Wilt Beneath The Weight

The album will be available in various formats, including CD Jewel Case, LP (1LP Crystal Clear w/Black Marble and 1LP Purple w/Black Splatter – band exclusive), and Digital Album.

Svalbard recently completed an extensive tour supporting post-metal giants Cult Of Luna and Russian Circles.

CRYPTOPSY Release Announcement: “As Gomorrah Burns,” on September 8th! Watch the Thrilling New Single/Video, “In Abeyance,” and Get Ready for Their Epic Fall 2023 Headlining North American Tour!

July 8, 2023 Evol Radio

Canadian kings of technical death metal, CRYPTOPSY, have made a resounding announcement that has sent shockwaves through the metal community. After over a decade of anticipation, they are set to release their highly awaited full-length album, titled “As Gomorrah Burns,” on September 8th, courtesy of Nuclear Blast Records. The groundbreaking quartet is back with a vengeance, showcasing their renewed vigor and unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of extreme music.

“As Gomorrah Burns” promises to be one of CRYPTOPSY’s most tumultuous and ambitious albums yet, continuing their tradition of sonic exploration and complex songwriting. Vocalist Matt McGachy expressed his excitement about the upcoming release, describing it as a meticulous endeavor that perfectly blends the old-school CRYPTOPSY sound with modern twists. The album features infectious grooves and a breath of fresh air, allowing the riffs to shine in ways that haven’t been seen in their recent releases. McGachy is thrilled about this new era for CRYPTOPSY, and fans can expect a captivating musical journey that stays true to the band’s roots while embracing their evolution.

To give fans a taste of what’s to come, CRYPTOPSY has unleashed the first single, “In Abeyance,” along with an accompanying music video directed by Chris Kells (The Agonist, Beneath The Massacre). McGachy describes the single as a conceptually intense exploration of feeling isolated in a new environment, searching for a sense of belonging while mourning a previous life. Musically, “In Abeyance” is a forceful slap in the face, appearing deceptively straightforward but revealing layers of intricate complexity upon closer inspection.

Fans can pre-order “As Gomorrah Burns” now and stream “In Abeyance” to get a taste of the fury that awaits them. The album promises to be a relentless onslaught of extreme metal, featuring tracks like “Lascivious Undivine,” “Flayed The Swine,” and “Praise The Filth.” The anticipation surrounding the release is at an all-time high, with listeners eagerly awaiting the album’s arrival.

Looking back at CRYPTOPSY’s storied career, it’s evident that they have continually pushed the boundaries of death metal. Formed in 1992, the band quickly became known for their uncompromising attack and unparalleled musicality. Their debut album, “Blasphemy Made Flesh,” shocked the metal world, and subsequent releases like “None So Vile” and “Once Was Not” solidified their status as apex predators in the genre. They have embarked on high-profile tours, performing over 1,000 shows across 47 countries.

“As Gomorrah Burns” not only serves as a follow-up to their previous EPs, “The Book of Suffering – Tome I” and “The Book of Suffering – Tome II,” but also represents a new era for the band. Crafted over two years during the pandemic, the album is the result of painstaking dedication and an arduous songwriting process. The initial sessions took place in a cabin in the haunting forests of Quebec, providing an eerie backdrop for the creation of this beastly album. Guitarist and producer Christian Donaldson, together with his bandmates Matt McGachy, Flo Mounier, and Olivier “Oli” Pinard, channeled their collective energies to create eight slabs of unadulterated barbarity. The production of the album was helmed by Donaldson, ensuring that CRYPTOPSY’s vision was executed flawlessly.

As Gomorrah Burns” Tracklisting

Lascivious Undivine
In Abeyance
Godless Deceiver
Ill Ender
Flayed The Swine
The Righteous Lost
Obeisant
Praise The Filth

Conceptually, “As Gomorrah Burns” delves into the collision of the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah with the modern-day Internet. McGachy’s vision was to explore how the internet serves as both a birthplace of invention and a cesspool of exploitation. The album touches upon real-life incidents of online stalking, cults, misinformation, isolation, and intimidation, amplifying their impact through devious ornamentation. The striking cover art, created by Italian artist Paolo Girardi, perfectly complements the album’s old-world lyrical themes, creating a visual representation of the darkness that lies within.

“As Gomorrah Burns” is an aggressive and thought-provoking masterpiece that pierces through the mundane and relentlessly delivers uncompromising death metal. The album captures the essence of what our world needs—a ferocious and unyielding musical force that only CRYPTOPSY can provide. McGachy emphatically declares that CRYPTOPSY is not merely a legacy band but a modern and relevant force in extreme music. With “As Gomorrah Burns,” CRYPTOPSY invites listeners to embark on a thrilling journey that is as relevant today as it was 30 years ago.

In addition to the upcoming album, CRYPTOPSY has tantalized fans with news of an impending fall headlining “Carnival Of Death” tour across North America. The tour dates will be announced soon, and it is sure to be a monumental event for fans of extreme music. Cryptopsy’s live performances are renowned for their energy and intensity, leaving audiences breathless and craving more. This tour will undoubtedly be an unmissable experience for metal enthusiasts.

X was tracked in Medley Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark with producer Søren Andersen, who the band have worked with on every record since 2009’s When Death Comes. Wrote Blabbermouth upon its release, “Nearly 40 years after their story began, this band is still a unique and exhilarating proposition.” Distorted Sound noted, “This is crisp and accessible, there are no unintelligible vocals and they know how to write a beefed-up metal song. This should please the pit and the guys at the back who prefer to sing along in equal measure. If you like the faster side of metal you owe it to yourself to check this out.” Added Ghost Cult, “Bursting with razor-sharp riffs, frantic shredding, and more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle box, X is another outstanding example of classic Danish thrash.”
