Stormzone are thrilled to announce the release of ‘Dark Hedges’, the first official video from their new album ‘Lucifer’s Factory’ which will be available worldwide on April 23rd 2018 via Metal Nation Records.
This 6th album from the Belfast-based Heavy Metal merchants features 13 brand new songs all based on Irish myths and legends.
The ‘Dark Hedges’ is a mysterious landmark in Northern Ireland and it has been made world-renowned by being featured in Game Of Thrones. But it is legendary in its own right and has rightfully taken its place in Irish myth and folklore long before being made famous by the hugely successful tv series. Legend has it that one June night each year a beautiful ghostly lady appears under the extensive branches of the Dark Hedges trees for an evening of dancing and interaction with the spirits she has previously invited from the graveyard nearby. One June night of revelry and then, just before dawn, it is all over for another year! Perhaps if you are a Game of Thrones fan and you are planning to visit the Dark Hedges sometime during June you can maybe time your trip just right and be able to join the dark lady and her ghostly guests!
Sweden´s Voith released the new 2 track single “Wir Sind Die Roboter” from the upcoming album “Le Photographe” scheduled out on 20th April.
On this new single the two songs match the direction Lars Voith, the mastermind of the project wanted it to go. This means dark and electronic synthpop with a lot of ambient and experimental parts with a nod to the classics of the genre Kraftwerk, whose work influenced so many that came after them. As far as I am concerned, I like this stuff. As a lifelong Depeche Mode fan since I was a kid, I can listen to such darker side of synthpop and learn to love it. I cant wait how the whole album will sound like. Here is the little teaser:
Votov hail from Winnipeg, Canada and this trio united their years long experience in the underground music scene and in 2015.formed this band wishing to play brutal death thrash metal, stripped of any effects, meaning playing pure brutal metal.
This debut cd contains 7 songs and one Celtic Frost cover. From the start of the album it´s clear that there are no jokes and no holds barred with these guys. The music is American school of death metal, but there are lot of grooves in the song structures and above all, I really love the production sound of the album, the job was indeed well done. I understood the thrash metal parts of the songs as a nod of the head to the old masters who probably influenced the guys through their formative years in the metal scene. Canada always gave great underground metal and hardcore bands, so I imagine that Votov have a great future in the store if they persist with their hard work. The results are already shown, here, through this album!
