Blackbriar Releases New Song “My Soul’s Demise” and Unveils Music Video

Blackbriar, the Netherlands-based gothic/symphonic metal band, is excited to announce the release of their latest song, “My Soul’s Demise,” accompanied by a captivating music video. The band’s second full-length album is currently in the works and will feature long-time collaborator Joost van den Broek.

“My Soul’s Demise” explores the theme of love and pain, delving into the sacrifices one is willing to make for their loved ones. 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.

Listen to “My Soul’s Demise” here: Stream ‘My Soul’s Demise’


Watch the new video for ‘My Souls Demise’

The music video was filmed at a medieval 12th-century church in the Netherlands, adding to the atmospheric and fitting visuals. Blackbriar enlisted the help of their loyal patrons and even featured Zora Cock’s parents in the video, creating a personal and immersive experience.

Formed in 2012, Blackbriar has been captivating audiences with their enchanting blend of storytelling and symphonic metal. Their journey began with the release of their single “Until Eternity,” which gained widespread attention and has since garnered over 18.1 million views. The band has independently released EPs such as “Fractured Fairytales” and “Our Mortal Remains,” showcasing their ethereal and captivating sound.

Blackbriar’s growing success led to notable live performances alongside renowned bands like Epica, Halestorm, In This Moment, Delain, and Mayan. With a dedicated fanbase and a strong online presence, the band successfully crowdfunded their debut full-length album, “The Cause of Shipwreck,” in 2020. Produced by Joost van den Broek, the album further solidified Blackbriar’s reputation as masterful storytellers.

Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, Blackbriar continued to captivate audiences with sold-out shows in the Netherlands and successful tours across Europe. In 2021, they released their single “Fairy of the Bog,” blending folklore and ancient history into their signature mystical sound.

With their vision set on the future and the support of a major label, Blackbriar is poised to enchant the world with their darkly whimsical storytelling and captivating soundscapes. Having received multiple nominations for “Best Artist” at the EuroSonic/Noorderslag’s Popgala Noord Awards, and with their monthly streaming totals nearing 1 million on YouTube and Spotify, the band is ready to embark on an extraordinary journey.

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.

Stream “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019”!!!

Vocalist Kam Lee shares his thoughts on the live record: “This release is for the fans. It’s all about fan service, dedicated to those who truly wanted it and asked for it. 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. It proved that MASSACRE was back, showcasing their resurgence and delving into the band’s legacy.”

To catch MASSACRE live, check out their tour dates with MORTA SKULD & DRUID LORD:

THY ART IS MURDER RELEASES THE SECOND SINGLE FROM THE AGGRESSION SESSIONS
“UNTIL THERE IS NO LONGER”



Nuclear Blast is proud to announce the 6-song mini album The Aggression Sessions featuring THY ART IS MURDER, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and MALEVOLENCE which will be available digitally on April 7th and on CD + Vinyl on July 21st, 2023 via Nuclear Blast.

Today, THY ART IS MURDER releases the second single from the EP entitled, “Until There Is No Longer”.


The Aggression Sessions is the follow-up to 2016’s The Depression Sessions and follows the same 6-song mini album where each band offers an original single and a cover song. For this session, THY ART IS MURDER is covering Cannibal Corpse and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY is covering At The Gates whereas MALEVOLENCE is handling a song by American singer Anastacia.

THY ART IS MURDER and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY make the following joint statement:

“Before we had even completed work on ‘The Depressions Sessions’ we knew a lifelong friendship had been forged between THY ART IS MURDER and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, and that we would have to do another variation of the project. ‘The Aggression Sessions’ concept was born almost immediately following the completion of the first iteration but has taken many years to finally find the time to record and release it amidst the chaotic touring and music release schedules of both bands. We wanted to take things back to some of our favorite inspirations for writing and performing heavy and aggressive music this time, encapsulating the tone of the EP title. We hope everyone enjoys!

Joining us for round 2, please welcome MALEVOLENCE into the series. Much love to The Acacia Strain, and thank you to them for being a part of this lineage. Check out their new forthcoming record as well!

Working with friends and peers and avoiding the pitfalls of competitiveness has always been the most rewarding part of being in a band, so as always thank you for the support and opportunity to have this platform. See you all on the road soon!”



Below is the tracklisting for The Aggression Sessions:
1. Hellions – FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY
2. Until There Is No Longer – THY ART IS MURDER
3. Waste Of Myself – MALEVOLENCE
4. Under A Serpent Sun (At The Gates Cover) – FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY
5. Hammer Smashed Face (Cannibal Corpse Cover) – THY ART IS MURDER
6. Left Outside Alone (Anastacia Cover) – MALEVOLENCE


The Aggression Sessions will be available in the following formats:

  • CD jewel case
  • Vinyl
    • Grey Brown Swirl w/ Black Splatter
      • NUCLEAR BLAST USA/EU + Retail
    • Clear w/ Silver Red Brown Splatter

MALEVOLENCE’s Wilkie Robinson adds, “New Jersey to Australia to Sheffield! it was an absolute pleasure to be involved in this big international metal link-up and a great opportunity for us to have fun creatively outside of the usual expectations. Shout out to Eliran Kantor for killing the artwork and Nuclear Blast for making it all happen.”
