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:

(news) UK death metallers Nihil Eyes to release “Black Path” via Ultraje on May 18th

UK death metallers Nihil Eyes have signed a deal with Portugal’s Ultraje to release their debut full-length “Black Path” for the first time on CD format on May 18th 2018.

“Black Path” offers a glimpse into the darkest aspects of the human psyche, exploring motivations for people’s darkest intentions. Topics include homicide, suicide, narcissism, mental instability and political corruption, all through different perspectives and approaches regarding composition and subject matter.

With the intention of making that kind of record that they would like to hear and play live, the British band Nihil Eyes offers eight tracks featuring a unique intensity in the contemporary European death metal scene, with excruciating riffs, guitar leads drawn from nowhere, horrifying voices and a musical aesthetic perception out of the ordinary. Heaviness, intensity, emotion and an honest representation of Nihil Eyes is what you can expect from this “Black Path”. Suitable for fans of Carcass and Bolt Thrower.

Pre-orders are now available at this location with free shipping worldwide: https://ultraje.bandcamp.com/album/black-path
