Austria’s Black Metal Horde ASPHAGOR Releases the Video of ‘Pyrogenesis’!

‘Pyrogenesis’, the fourth album by the Tyrolean black metallers ASPHAGOR, has been in the stores since the 10th of March. The 11 songs are probably the highlight of the quintet’s work so far. Now the band has released a new video for the album’s title track and comments this as follows:

M. Zanesco: ‘Pyrogenesis’ is a song that centers around the idea that great power and enlightenment can arise from a spark of inspiration born from flame. The lyrics describe the journey towards this power and the potential consequences that come with it, emphasizing the destructive potential of this force while acknowledging its transformative and creative capabilities.”

Hybreos: ‘As an ode to Prometheus, we tried to create an amalgamation of Old School Death Metal with our home base of Black Metal, with a thrashy connotation. Like every track on the album this one as well has its unique approach, guiding through densely packed arrangements toward the final conclusion in a harmonic riffage. Enjoy!‘

The album is available on CD, as a double LP in gatefold and as a limited DigiPak in a limited BoxSet. In May you will have the chance to see the band together with The Spirit on the Dark Fortress Farewell Tour, see the dates below!

(news – new single/video) FINNISH BLACK DEATH METAL BAND ANIMA HERETICAE RELEASES NEW MUSIC VIDEO ‘CIMMERIAN DARKNESS’ !

After the 2021 debut EP “Ov Behest” Finnish blackened death metal band Anima Hereticae has been working on their first full length album to be released in Autumn 2023. The band’s unique sound is a combination of Scandinavian melodic metal, death metal with black metal elements. The music goes in symbiosis with the visuals, both in live shows and on videos. Now released music video Cimmerian Darkness presents a view to the upcoming debut album’s beauty and epicness.

‘Even though pretty much anything we do has the sense of darkness and despair, this song has also a hint of hope in it. Creating new music is quite therapeutic and healing experience for us. And so was the writing of this song – a meditative and self-reflecting process. Some times as wondering this world we live in it feels like we are living in Cimmerian darkness on the edge of the world.’ Ville Rutanen and Taneli Jämsä background the song.

The music video is directed by the Anima Hereticae drummer Teppo Ristola and as an actor there is Jussi Matilainen from Where’s My Bible.

Anima Hereticae is touring in Finland and Baltics this spring:
18.3. Maaliskuun Musta Messu @ Sammiosali, Lahti, Finland
6.4. Republika, Riga, Latvia
7.4. Narauti, Vilna, Liettua
8.4. Tapper Room, Tallinn, Estonia
9.4. Lepakkomies, Helsinki, Finland

Anima Hereticae:
Ville Rutanen – vocals & bass
Taneli Jämsä – guitar & backing vocals
Teppo Ristola – drums

Finland’s folk black metallers KOUTA reveal ‘Kaarnaköydet’ album details; watch the visualizer video of ‘Häpeä’!

Leave a comment

The Finnish folk black metal act KOUTA comes back with a new album, one year after the big success of the debut ‘Aarnihauta‘.  ‘Kaarnaköydet’ – this is the name of the band’s first full-length – will be released on April 21 and it will be available as CD, streaming, and digital download.

The 7 new songs weave a dark and intricate web of sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. Folk elements have permeated the new sound much more deeply, while the production has become much more clear, powerful, and straight. At the heart of ‘Kaarnaköydet’ lies a gripping narrative centered around the tragic story of two brothers. Through their music, KOUTA explores the complex and often tumultuous emotions of shame, guilt, and catharsis, inviting the listener to join them on a powerful and emotional journey of aesthetically peripheral discovery.

The new single ‘Häpeä‘ is now available on the main digital platforms as well as a visualizer video on band’s YouTube channel.

‘Häpeä‘ deepens the three-part story that serves as the backbone of the new album. The song was chosen as the first single and the opening song for the band’s gigs due to its unforgiving and unconventional nature. It deepens the story of fratricide by exploring the state of mind of someone who has just killed a loved one.

‘I wanted the song to reflect this brutality and emotion, so musically Häpeä is grim and cold,‘ summarizes Eemeli Haarala.

The drum parts of ‘Kaarnaköydet‘ were recorded in a remote cabin in Lapland. Guitars and bass recorded at Pekka Posio’s studio in Helsinki. Vocals, choirs and all other instruments together with the live recording of “Äitimaan Laulu” recorded at Sonic Pump Studios, Helsinki. Mixed by Pekka Posio and mastered by Svante Forsbäck.

Line-Up:

Antti Mäki – Vocals

Eemeli Haarala – Guitar

Lauri Törmä – Guitar, Clean Vocals

Arttu Pentikäinen – Bass, Clean Vocals

Ville Vitikka – Drums
