Photographer: Lisa Nikula

Helsinki-based extreme metal band Kneel Before The Death releases new single “I Am The One”. The band is known for their skills to combine massive sound walls to brutal extreme metal expression.


Band Comments on the song:
“´I Am The One´ is the continuation to Kneel Before The Death’s previous single, ´Eternal Sleep´. Filled by hate, the protagonist heads towards a final challenge, one he has never faced before. Only one will prevail. This fight won’t be over until it is won.”

Band’s drummer Konsta Vihavainen comments:
“When we started to write this song, the idea was to create a piece of music with a massive chorus as its centerpiece. Something that would instantly catch the listener’s attention. In addition, we wanted to explore soundscapes that our band hasn’t previously touched upon, and the result is a dynamic and massive extreme metal song. This track is truly a unique combination of haunting guitar melodies, beautiful orchestrals and lots of blast beats.”

Kneel Before The Death is a Finnish extreme metal band founded in early 2013. The band consists of drummer Konsta Vihavainen, guitarist Niko Lappalainen, bassist Joonas Peltonen and vocalist Markus Raito. Kneel Before The Death´s music combines elements   from symphonic metal, black metal and electronic music, such as synthwave, creating the band’s unique sound.


Kneel Before The Death released their first single, ‘In Death We Trust’, in December 2013, following their first EP ‘The First Chapter’ in August 2014. Band kept evolving their sound to a darker direction and in 2015 released two singles, ‘The Bloodline’ and ‘Deathbringer’. Their second EP, ‘Life/Death’, was released in September 2016. ‘Miserere Mei’, a single mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström, was released in November 2018. After that, KBTD released an EP, ’Memoir’, on April 28th 2022. Their latest release, single ‘Eternal Sleep’, saw daylight on 5th of May 2023.

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.
Infected Chaos: From the Ashes to Glory
In 2013, five seasoned musicians from Tyrol and Allgäu united to explore the extremes of metal, forging a unique style characterized by melody, aggression, and modern elements. 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.

Finnish Progeny of Sun released their second single ‘False Radiance‘ from the upcoming debut album ‘Throne of Desolation’.  The album is set to be released on December 8th via Inverse Records. 

WATCH False Radiance lyric video: https://youtu.be/jChe-Br_h80 

The composer Hauta comments: “in rehearsals, our drummer always wants the guitars to be louder in the in-ear monitoring. That’s how I got the idea for a song where the drummer would have to play completely on his own and if he concentrates on the guitars, game over. The song didn’t raise great enthusiasm for the singer at first, but as soon as he got his own voice in, he started to like it. Bass was executed normally.”
