International black metal band NASTERGAL sign with Wormholedeath & announce ‘Solitude’ EP

Leave a comment

International Black Metal Band NASTERGAL struck a deal with Wormholedeath for their EP “Solitude”, due for release on May 13th, 2022.

The band speaking of signing the EP,“Nastergal is proud to say we have signed with Wormholedeath. We are excited to work with such an amazing label and are looking forward to many years together. Our “Solitude” EP is Nastergal’s first release and features musicians from across the world. For us this is the next step into a realm of extreme metal, having played in various death and black metal bands in the past. We are very thankful of Wormholedeath for giving us this chance to share our music with the rest of the world.”

Nastergal is an international black metal band started by Jacques Valentyn (guitars) and Riaan Coertze (drums) and completed with the help of Marco Toba (bass) and Evgen Zoidze (vocals). The music draws its inspiration from bands such as Dark Funeral with lyrical content influenced by the works of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nastergal proudly presents a unique take on the Black Metal genre with their own unique sound. They are committed to the music they create and strive to deliver the best to their audience. The “Solitude” EP explores the dark world of self realization and war in the mind of Zarathustra as he struggles to validate himself in a world filled with deceit and ignorance. The underlying argument is that all human values are created by humans, rather than gods, or nature, or some underlying fundamental reality.

The Venomous Pinks released new video from the new album due out with SBÄM Records!

Leave a comment

After the first single No Rules has already caused quite a stir, The Venomous Pinks continue to the anticipation for their first studio album. The next track Apothacary Ailment ups the tempo even more and pushes relentlessly forward – in the unique Pinks sound, of course!

Lyrically, the punk trio deals with the difficult subject of addiction from the perspectives of others and themselves.
“It’s about how consuming the cycle of addiction can be. I witnessed a person close to me struggle with a serious addiction. It was a matter of life or death. The lyrics are a plea for them to choose life. I’ve had my own personal battles over the years. Facing one’s demons is never easy. Through a positive mental attitude and commitment, anything is possible. You will prevail,” says singer and guitarist Drea Doll.

The chorus with shouts like “Never give up / You’ll find a way / We’ll find a way” is both motivation and war cry and will certainly provide perfect sing-along moments live.

“For the video, we escaped to the beautiful landscape near the lost Dutchman park in Apache Junction, AZ. Since this is our first album, it was important for us to show the world our roots and where we grew up”, explains Drea further. The video was shot and edited again by Thomas Alexander.

Apothecary Ailment is the second single from Vita Mors, which will be released on June 3, 2022 on SBÄM Records.

Line-Up:
Drea Doll – Guitar, Vocals
Gaby Kaos – Bass, Vocals

Teutonic heavy metallers BÖLLVERK released new lyric video!

Leave a comment

The band explains to “The 7th No (IS A KO)”:
“The song lyrics are a dialogue between a guy and a girl – the guy tries to end up with her, but just can’t do it. However, he gives no rest, stays permanently on her. This goes on until the chick is annoyed. The 7th time then finally finally breaks her patience and there is a powerful on the lid.”

When the three friends Raphi (guitar), Zahn (vocals, guitar) and Markus (drums) formed the band BÖLLVERK in May 2018, this fortunate circumstance marked the initial spark for a quite enormous revitalization of the German Heavy Metal guild!

The three playful enthusiasts quickly wrote their first own songs, and the common favourite direction crystallised out very quickly: core-traditional and above all fundamentally honest HEAVY METAL with a damn iconic 80s touch!

From September 2018, bass player Sense completed the line-up. The very first live shows were played and received great feedback from the audience.

With this momentum, BÖLLVERK entered the studio in autumn 2019 to record the first demo “Let’s Ride Till Dawn“. It was released on March 6, 2020 and received good reviews from the press and fans.
Unfortunately, due to the lockdown at the time, the CD could not be promoted on the stages. During the worldwide misery of the global pandemic, however, BÖLLVERK by no means stood still.

Personnel changes were also managed with determination, whereby the stylistic directness always remained completely the same. The BÖLLVERK rhythm section was re-staffed with Angelo (drums) and Tim on bass.

And Svenja as a promising new singer raises the solid musical foundation to an even higher level with her enormously powerful and distinctive voice.
