Austrian Death Metal Commando Infected Chaos Forges Alliance With Wormholedeath!

Austrian death metal unrelenting force Infected Chaos has officially joined Wormholedeath. The collaboration culminates in the release of their upcoming EP, “Conjuration Overture, Vanity is Dawning,” slated to drop on November 24, 2023.Amid the turbulent backdrop of the Corona crisis, Infected Chaos, a band spanning two nations divided by impassable borders, seized the chance to channel their creative energy into this remarkable EP. The compact format of the EP allowed them to maintain their artistic momentum during a period when conventional activities were rendered impossible.The band’s journey from a mere stopgap to a monumental prologue is vividly portrayed in “Conjuration Overture – Vanity is Dawning.” Crafting this EP became a necessity as the global pandemic disrupted their regular rehearsals, due to the stringent border closures.Reflecting on the EP, Infected Chaos reveals, “As CoVid was raging across the globe, we started working on the successor of Dead Aesthetics. The pandemic made it almost impossible for us to rehearse regularly due to the closed borders, so we decided to do something more compact and ended up composing an EP. At that point, we didn’t know it would only be the overture to something huge.”This EP is a sonic amalgamation of their diverse influences, ranging from Classic Rock to Extreme Metal, flowing seamlessly into three brand-new songs: “Tehom,” “Vanity is Dawning,” and “Come Eventide, Come Evenfall.” The haunting track “People of Ash,” slightly older but rich with gloom and prophetic lyrics, found its perfect home on “Conjuration Overture – Vanity is Dawning.”Of special note, the song “Vanity is Dawning” serves as the prologue to their upcoming concept album, set 20 years before the harrowing tale of death, desperation, heresy, and devastation unfolds. This EP was recorded & mixed by Matt Mayr at DC-Records and mastered by Sergej at Walzwerkstudios.

Their debut album, “The Wake of Ares,” recorded at Iguana Studios in 2015, garnered international acclaim, showcasing the band’s early potential.The band continued its ascent in 2017 with the release of “Killing Creator,” a complex and nuanced offering that marked their growth in sound and songwriting.Infected Chaos relentlessly toured central Europe, gracing countless club gigs and festivals, including Metal Days, Winterdays of Metal, and Aaargh! Their journey formed new alliances while also witnessing the toll of casualties along the way.Through tumultuous years, Infected Chaos persevered, navigating the challenges posed by CoVid, and delivered their third album, “Dead Aesthetics,” in 2021, proving that surrender is never an option.

(review) Ape Metro – ‘Animal Instinct’

Ape Metro are hailing from New York and this is their new single featuring two songs. This is one of those modern hardcore bands playing mixture of some hardcore punk roots but also thrash metal and delivering what we called ‘new school’ hardcore back in the nineties. ‘The Leech’ is great song with some fast parts and wicked catchy guitar work on solo guitar during hardcore punk fast part. ‘Scarab’ is more complex, slower metalcore song reminding me a lot of Integrity and such bands. Vocals are screaming, the whole atmosphere on this release is more darkened and apocalyptic, this is not your posi core stuff, but deliverance through suffering.

(review) Sentido De Libertad – ‘Sobrevivir’

SDL or Sentido De Libertad are hailing from Santiago, Chile. This is their brand new EP done totally DIY and it contains 6 songs. The music is bordering between fast and melodic hardcore with some metallic even melodic death metal influences. There are 6 songs on this one and I dig this EP a lot. ‘Alerta invasor’ is an instrumental song which prepares us listeners for what is to come. One of my personal favorites is ‘Maquinaria’ having such superb melodic guitar hook on fast chorus and some groove hardcore moments in its structure. Lyrics are in Spanish language and I think as far as I understand from titles that these guys play very angry melodic hardcore. The title track also has that brutality mixed with melody and screaming and growled vocals that fit perfectly to the song structure. This title song is showing strong that melodeath and thrash metal approach in the songwriting along with hardcore roots. All songs on this EP are just epic, like also ‘Mirada indolente’ turning from mid tempo punk rock song to epic masterful metallic hardcore in just a moment. ‘Dios sin piel’ is another strongpoint on this EP being my personal favorite, fast and strong and epic. ‘Sangre en el camino’ is brutal and harsh, but it has that melodic moment on chorus where vocals are shouted and growled yet melodic at the same time, more hats off to the singer, and finishes this EP leaving me wanting more and wanting to check out these guys play live.
