The second album of finnish extreme metal band i Helvete has now been released. The band has also released a lyric video for the album title track Yksi Yhteinen Yhteiskunta. The video announces the concept album’s agenda: modern society has come to the end of the road, it’s time for the winds of change  and everyone can’t survive it.

Singer-guitarist Aleksi Mäkelä comments on the new album:

“For our second album, we wanted a sound as authentic as possible. In the recordings, we tried to find a complete package for the sounds and effects, so there would be no need to do, for example, reamping. In addition, the violin, accordion and piano tracks were recorded with the help of session musicians. Virtual instruments are therefore hardly heard on this record. These measures turned out to work correctly and the album has an authentic, raw and massive sound.”

i Helvete has already released three singles from their new album this fall. The new lyric video song is not quite a traditional song:
 

“Yksi Yhteinen Yhteiskunta is growing all the time. There will be more and more instruments and the tempo increases as it progresses further. This song doesn’t contain singing. It is a speech – or actually the manifesto of our movement.” Mäkelä continues

Yksi Yhteinen Yhteiskunta CD can be ordered from Inverse Store and Recordshop X.  It can be listened to on all streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/ihelvete-yyy ­

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. These classic influences are seamlessly interwoven with modern and progressive elements, resulting in a mesmerizing, technically virtuoso soundscape. The lineup for Angel Rising consists of: Angel Rising: Guitars, Bass, Drums, Vocals Guest Singer: M.Fox (clean vocals on “Worn Out Blood” and “Dominion”) Follow Angel Rising on social media: www.facebook.com/angelrisingofficial www.instagram.com/angelrisingofficial angelrising.bandcamp.com www.youtube.com/@angelrisingofficial

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.

Line-up:
Galgenvot – vocals, guitars, bass, composition
Valr – drums
