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”

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)

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.

August 3, 2023 Evol Radio

Metal Blade Records Museum, located in Las Vegas, NV, is ready to welcome fans once again. Brian Slagel is opening up the museum doors on Saturday, August 19, and it will be accessible every Saturday from thereon.

The operating hours are from 12 pm to 5 pm PT, and tickets are available [here](link to tickets).

Ticket holders will receive the museum address after purchase.

About Metal Blade Records:
Founded on Brian Slagel’s relentless drive to discover great bands and share their music with as many people as possible, Metal Blade has been bringing waves of powerful, innovative, and genre-defining music to the metal masses since 1982. The label boasts a diverse and stunning catalog, has weathered challenges faced by independent labels, and celebrated its successful four-decade existence in an era of declining record sales.

Metal Blade Records launched legendary bands like Metallica, Slayer, Armored Saint, Fates Warning, GWAR, Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation, and many more, shaping the culture of hard rock, metal, and extreme music for over forty years.
Brian Slagel, once a record store clerk, reserved a spot for a young Lars Ulrich on his Metal Massacre compilation series, and Metal Blade has since grown from humble beginnings in Los Angeles into an international powerhouse, selling millions of albums while fiercely maintaining its independence. In 2017, Slayer’s Kerry King inducted the label into the Hall of Heavy Metal History.

Slagel’s book “For the Sake of Heaviness: The History of Metal Blade Records” was released the same year.

Rediscovering Creativity and Direction: Faderhead’s Musical Journey

August 3, 2023 Evol Radio

Despite the un-summer-ish weather in Hamburg, Faderhead is breaking out of their music-making vacation to find new inspiration and energy. The break was much needed, as Faderhead had hit a creative wall, questioning the future of making music under the Faderhead name. But with a new perspective and some energy restored, Faderhead is ready to embark on a fresh musical journey.

In the past, Faderhead’s music was born spontaneously, resulting in unique albums with a mix of random styles and songs created throughout the year. However, a shift occurred in 2017 when Faderhead aimed to infuse more depth into the music, enhancing live shows and refining performances. This pursuit of perfection brought structure and rehearsal into the process, reducing spontaneity but yielding better results.

When the pandemic struck, Faderhead seized the opportunity to promote extensively on social media and release new music. However, after continuous efforts, the creative gas tank is now empty, leaving Faderhead uncertain about the future path.

On one hand, continuing as Faderhead may feel repetitive, and on the other, venturing into side projects requires additional effort and resources. Despite the uncertainty, Faderhead decided to explore new avenues, acquiring new skills like piano playing and honing singing abilities.

While the future direction remains unclear, Faderhead’s determination to stay fresh involves planning breaks and periods of skill development. As a result, Faderhead will embark on “30 Beats in 30 Days,” creating a beat every day in August to generate ideas and encourage creativity.

In the spirit of spontaneity, Faderhead also designed new shirts inspired by fans at the recent Amphi Festival. The shirts feature lyrics from “Destroy Improve Rebuild” and are available in various designs in Faderhead’s online store.

As the journey unfolds, Faderhead hopes to find renewed passion for music-making and welcomes input from fans about future directions. So stay tuned, follow the “30 for 30,” journey, and witness Faderhead’s creative evolution!

Belgian Heavymetallers SHOCKER Premiere “Injecting The Parasite” Video, Announce Debut Record

August 2, 2023 Evol Radio

The birth of Shocker dates back to 2018, but the idea had been spinning through the minds of Sammy and Koen for a long time. Due to other challenges and obligations in their daily lives, the idea was postponed. With everyone having a different musical background, SHOCKER strives to find common ground, and that’s where the magic happens—the formation of the Shocker sound.

Mixing genres and styles without being confined to boundaries is one of the things they love, and the possibilities seem endless, giving them a wide path to explore.

Shocker was fortunate to hit the studio in between coronawaves and record their first EP at Closed Sessions Recording Studio with Kristof Maes at the helm. The EP was released in March 2021 and received many promising reviews.

New songs that appear to be heavier and darker were forged by that fire. Proudly, SHOCKER can announce that a full album is now done and set to be released in 2023.

The album was recorded and mixed at Shellshock Studios by Pieter Nyckees and mastered by Frederik Dejongh at Jerboa Mastering.

SHOCKER is:

August 2, 2023 Evol Radio

German death/thrashers DEAF AID have emerged from the pandemic with their powerful third record, “Hellgate,” which delves deep into the observations of those troubled times.

ASINHELL Unveils “Fall of the Loyal Warrior” VideoBAND FEATURES VOLBEAT’S MICHAEL POULSEN, MARC GREWE (INSIDIOUS DISEASE, EX-MORGOTH), + MORTEN TOFT HANSEN (RAUNCHY)

July 30, 2023 Evol Radio

Debut Album “IMPII HORA” Out September 29 via Metal Blade Records

For over two decades, vocalist/guitarist Michael Poulsen has been at the forefront of the Danish rock and roll machine Volbeat, with eight full-length albums, millions of records sold, and massive stadium shows worldwide. Before leading Volbeat, Poulsen co-founded the death metal band Dominus, recording four fast, brutal albums in the mid-’90s. While working on songs for Volbeat’s 2021 album, “Servant Of The Mind,” Poulsen crafted a collection of death metal riffs and stored them on his phone. After completing the Volbeat record, he rekindled the fire of Armageddon and formed his new death metal band, ASINHELL. Their debut album, “Impii Hora” (Latin for Ungodly Hour), pays tribute to Poulsen’s favorite old-school groups, blending crushing riffs with powerful guitar hooks and shout-along refrains.

“Impii Hora” will be released on September 29 via Metal Blade. Pre-order it HERE

Today, the band shares the official video for “Fall of the Loyal Warrior,” celebrated by Consequence as a return to Poulsen’s roots!

https://www.youtu.be/renC9qBzKZQ

Watch it here:

Poulsen expressed, “The song is kind of a tribute to bands I love, like Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Autopsy, Grave, and Darkthrone. They’re the reason why we can do this in the first place, and we’re proud to wear our influences on our sleeve. The album was inspired by late ’80s and early ’90s old school death metal, and one of our brightest points of inspiration was the mighty Death, fronted by the legendary Chuck Schuldiner. There’s a lot of Death in there. Schuldiner is one of my favorite death metal vocalists, the other being our vocalist Marc [Grewe]. So to me, this song is the combination of two of my favorites. ‘Let the metal flow,’ as Chuck would have said!”

Poulsen collaborated with longtime friend and neighbor, drummer Morten Toft Hansen (Raunchy), on crafting the death metal revival. The duo began jamming on riffs, setting up in Morten’s tiny garage, with no mics or P.A., just a drum kit and a combo amp turned all the way up, reminiscent of their teenage days. They swiftly created new songs every time they met. To add vocals, Poulsen turned to his good friend and one of his all-time favorite death metal growlers: Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease, ex-Morgoth).

“I had known Michael quite a long time and he always mentioned that we should do a death metal project one day, but I never took him too seriously because he was so busy with Volbeat,” Grewe says. “Then he called for real and said, ‘Yeah, I want to do it now. Are you up for it?’ Immediately, I was like, ‘Yes, of course!'”

Completing the trio, Volbeat producer Jacob Hansen stepped in to produce, mix, and play bass on their debut album. For lead guitar, Poulsen enlisted his friend and The Arcane Order axeman, Flemming C. Lund.

The album will be available in various formats:

Jewel case CD
180g Black Vinyl (Europe excl.)
Crimson Red Marbled Vinyl (Europe excl.)

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.

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.”

Watch the new video for ‘A Sign Of Things To Come’

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.
