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

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

  1. Deadwood
  2. A Sign Of Things To Come
  3. Pariahs
  4. Poison For The Lost
  5. Descent
  6. Absent
  7. Eye For An Eye
  8. Judas
  9. Thorns
  10. 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.

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

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.

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!

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

  1. Lascivious Undivine
  2. In Abeyance
  3. Godless Deceiver
  4. Ill Ender
  5. Flayed The Swine
  6. The Righteous Lost
  7. Obeisant
  8. 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.

Nuclear Blast Acquires TESTAMENT Catalog and Signs Three-Album Deal

Nuclear Blast, the prominent heavy metal label, has recently made a groundbreaking announcement by acquiring the complete catalog of the legendary band TESTAMENT. As part of this significant development, TESTAMENT has also signed an exclusive three-album deal with Nuclear Blast. The official signing ceremony took place ahead of the band’s fiery performance at Hellfest over the weekend.

Fans of TESTAMENT can now rejoice as they will soon have access to the band’s iconic albums, including the revered classics “The Legacy” and “The New Order,” on their preferred digital streaming platforms. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the longstanding partnership between TESTAMENT and Nuclear Blast as the band reclaims their six albums from Atlantic Records and entrusts them to Nuclear Blast for re-release.

Chuck Billy, the acclaimed vocalist of TESTAMENT, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Since joining forces with Nuclear Blast in 2008 for ‘The Formation of Damnation,’ we have enjoyed an incredible musical journey together. Now, we are taking it to the next level by retrieving our Atlantic catalog and placing it in the capable hands of Nuclear Blast. Additionally, we are thrilled to embark on a new three-album adventure with them. It’s an honor to be associated with the best heavy metal label in the world, one that will undoubtedly carry forth TESTAMENT’s powerful legacy.”

Eric Peterson, the mastermind behind TESTAMENT’s ferocious riffs, shared in the excitement, stating, “Our partnership with Nuclear Blast has been a perfect fit since we first signed with them in 2008. The return of our earlier catalog, which includes ‘The Legacy,’ ‘The New Order,’ ‘Practice What You Preach,’ ‘Souls of Black,’ ‘The Ritual,’ and ‘Low,’ brings a fresh new start for us. We are excited to witness Nuclear Blast’s re-release of these albums, complete with new artwork, photos, and additional surprises. Furthermore, the signing of a new three-album deal further solidifies our commitment to the label. The future of metal is looking incredibly bright, and we raise our glasses to that!”

Tommy Jones, Nuclear Blast U.S. Label Manager, shared his personal connection to TESTAMENT, reminiscing, “As a youngster, one of my most cherished guitars was a dark red Ibanez Saber (540S) with a wizard neck. I bought that guitar to channel the sounds of Alex Skolnick, who played the same model and color back in the day. Now, many years later, signing the original, genre-defining TESTAMENT albums that had such a profound impact on me, such as ‘The New Order,’ ‘Practice What You Preach,’ and ‘Souls of Black,’ to Nuclear Blast feels like coming full circle. It’s one of those ‘pinch-me’ moments where the 15-year-old me would be in awe. Together with Nuclear Blast, let us continue to honor and amplify ‘The Legacy’!”

Inspired by the medieval practice of sin-eating, the song draws parallels between consuming sins and personal experiences. Lead vocalist Zora Cock shares her personal connection to the lyrics, which were influenced by her father’s struggles with psychosis and the story of a sin eater from England.

MASSACRE Surprises Fans With “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019” Album and East Coast Tour


Floridian death metal legends, MASSACRE, have released a surprise live album titled “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019” today, digitally available through Nuclear Blast Records. The record showcases a monumental performance of their highly sought-after debut album, “From Beyond,” played in its entirety. The lineup features Kam Lee on vocals, Rick Rozz on guitar, Mike Borders on bass, and Mike Mazonetto on drums. Coinciding with the album release, the band is embarking on an East Coast tour with MORTA SKULD and DRUID LORD, starting tonight in Miami, FL.

MASSACRE, hailing from Southern Florida, rose to prominence in the early 80s alongside death metal pioneers like DEATH, OBITUARY, and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy began with a series of revered demos: “Aggressive Tyrant” (1986), “Chamber of Ages” (1986), and “The Second Coming” (1990). They later released their critically acclaimed debut album, “From Beyond” (1991). In 2021, the band made a highly anticipated return with “Resurgence.” The album showcased the original members, Kam Lee (vocals) and Mike Borders (bass), alongside renowned death metal musicians Rogga Johansson, Jonny Pettersson, Scott Fairfax, and Brynjar Helgetun, resulting in a powerful record produced by Dan Swanö and engineered by Jonny Pettersson.

It’s the closest thing to the original lineup of ‘From Beyond.’ This was the first time we performed all of ‘From Beyond’ live. It marked the return of MASSACRE since their reformation in 2017, and it was also the first show with Mike Borders since 1987.
