Vocalist Janne Keskitalo comments:
“The birth of a Misfortunate Phoenix is chaotic and violent. Like a never ending
purgatory where you are reborn to live in agony. The moments alive are filled with
psychotic visions and nightmares. And when you think you have relief from it you
re-live it ad nauseam.

To describe this song in a few words, my choices would be chaotic, disturbing,
hypnotizing and beautiful. Not a typical chorus driven single, but a single we
would release just to confuse your mind.”

Mortyfear was founded already in the late 90’s in Ostrobothnia, the rugged heart of Finland. Since then, the band has published several releases including EP’s and one album. Band’s music is a unique mix of oppressive heaviness, hooky melodies and eerie cinematic atmosphere from your worst nightmares. Few years ago Mortyfear renewed it’s line-up and started to work passionately on their second full-length album. During the recording process the band developed the recognizable Mortyfear sound to an even more chaotic and haunting direction and the outcome can be heard on the new album My Dystopia. Each song in the album is one of a kind and they all connect to a big dystopic story. Songs take you to the darkest corners of the human mind with their lyrics and soundscapes.

TRAUMA is one of the most experienced and oldest Polish death metal bands. The band started in the late ’80s under the name Thanatos. Two demo tapes were recorded under the moniker. Thanks to that, the band became known as one of the most interesting and musically progressive bands from the Polish metal scene. In December 1992 they decided to change the name to TRAUMA and a few months later they recorded their debut album “Invisible Reality”. Since then, the death metal troupe has been around continuously for almost 30 years! The year 2020 brings the long-awaited premiere of the 8th studio album “Ominous Black”, which contains nine new songs. The album was released in March 2020 by SELFMADEGOD RECORDS. TRAUMA is back with a new mini-album “Acrimony” in 2021.

Today UK metallers Accursed Years release their new single “Wings of Fire”. Starting today, the band will be raising funds for the UK-based charity Woodland Trust to help protect forests.  
 “Our new single, Wings of Fire, is a song essentially about deforestation. The world is losing its forests at an alarming rate, so this is a subject that we felt we wanted to discuss.
We also wanted to go a little further than simply speak about the subject through our music, so we’ve decided to try our hand at a little fundraiser in support of Woodland Trust, a charity that aims to plant and protect forests in the UK.” 
 Everyone who donates as part of this campaign will have the chance to win the original (and only) painting created as artwork for this single, as well as having a tree planted in their name, for which they will receive a certificate. They will also receive the only remaining physical copy of our 2015 Oaken Weave single. The winner of this prize will be chosen at random and announced on May 7 along with the release of the “Wings of Fire” music video.

Accursed Years is a metal band from Weymouth, England. They offer a dark, atmospheric, yet fist-pumping style of metal influenced by a combination of European metal bands such as Amon Amarth and Ensiferum, along with the darker forms of metal from bands from their home country, such as Paradise Lost.
