Death Metal one-man force Angel Rising delivers another great song by releasing the lyric video for “Reign of Torture,” a track taken from “Afterlife” album out via Wormholedeath.

“Afterlife” – A Cosmic Chronicle

“Afterlife” is a concept album that plunges listeners into the cosmic saga of an interdimensional entity, a being that regards all life in our universe as a dire menace to existence itself. The story unfolds as it sets its sights on the transformed human species, forever altered by the cataclysmic events detailed in Angel Rising’s earlier masterpieces. The album cover, featuring the valiant hero Asai battling hordes of the undead, hints at the even greater peril awaiting him.Afterlife: orcd.co/afterlifealbumA Glimpse into Angel Rising’s EvolutionAngel Rising, a solo endeavor that arose from the crucible of Marseille in 2020, draws inspiration from the old-school thrash and death scene, channeling influences like Sepultura, Metallica, and Death.

With their latest offering “Haatspraak” the band takes the listener on an unrelenting journey into the most forlorn and resentful depths of the vehicle that is WRANG. On the three songs they do away with all pretenses and once again go unapologetically into full revolt against the world.

“Severed is the sanctity of life, thereby the cycle is fulfilled.”

Founded in 2013, Utrecht, The Netherlands by Valr (drums) and Galgenvot (guitars, vocals), and playing live since 2015.
WRANG is an amalgamation of the past and present and about taking adversity head-on without excuse. In perpetual conflict between light and darkness, we defiantly stare death in the face and smile. There are no new concepts or revolutionary ideas; WRANG plays Domstad swart metael, without compromise.

Galgenvot – vocals, guitars, bass, composition
Valr – drums

Heavy act DEFOCUS follow up on their previous two singles ‘biased’ & ‘let the bond be my grave’ with another blistering new track after causing a sensation with their debut album In The Eye Of Death We Are All The Same.

With ‘crooked mind’, DEFOCUS hit straight into the listeners’ brains and once there, the song immediately unfolds its heaviness, guided by the mental chaos of the lyrics. When plagued by a crooked mind, people often feel as though they are not alone in their thoughts. Voices, speaking in unfamiliar ways, manipulate and distort their internal perception of self, creating a sense of disconnection and confusion.
