French Progressive Technical Death Metal act, Angel Rising, is set to ignite the metal scene once again with their highly anticipated album ‘Afterlife.’ Mark your calendars for September 22nd, 2023, as this extraordinary musical journey will be unleashed via Wormholedeath.
‘Afterlife’ is a concept album that delves into the depths of interdimensional existence. It follows the story of a powerful being that lurks within our universe, recognizing the threat our existence poses. In particular, the album focuses on the human species, altered after the events depicted in Angel Rising’s previous creations, now targeted by this enigmatic entity. The cover artwork vividly portrays our protagonist, Asai, locked in a fierce battle against an undead horde, blissfully unaware of the even greater peril that lies ahead.
Angel Rising is a one-man band with guest appearances, that burst onto the scene in 2018 under the name Listenangel, gaining recognition through an impressive guitar-shredding YouTube channel. The debut album, self-titled ‘Angel Rising,’ was released on April 18th, 2018, featuring renowned drummer Kevin Talley. The album received positive acclaim, leading to a deal with French metal label Music-records. ‘Immortal Volition,’ the second album released on February 12th, 2022, showcased a darker and more technical death metal sound, garnering high acclaim upon its CD edition release on September 15th, 2022. With the upcoming release of ‘Afterlife’ under Wormholedeath, Angel Rising solidifies their position as a formidable presence in the metal scene.
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’)
Thrash/Death-Metal powerhouse Slave Steel is thrilled to announce the release of their single and music video, ‘Wake Up The Atom.’ The track serves as a powerful introduction to their upcoming album, ‘In Fieri,’ slated for release on September 15th, 2023 through Wormholedeath.
‘Wake Up The Atom’ delivers a thought-provoking message about the transient nature of life and the destructive impact of human actions on our planet. With relentless energy and powerful sound, Slave Steel urges listeners to awaken and recognize the consequences of their behavior, emphasizing the need for responsible progress and a more sustainable approach to existence. The idea that nuclear power is bad is costing us, and it’s time to let go of it. Instead of stealing the stored Sun, we found underground, we should now make our own.
‘In Fieri’ showcases the band’s commitment to their craft, with an intensified level of aggression and an uncompromising sound that will captivate fans and newcomers alike.

‘Götterspiel: Dunkle Zeiten’, the new album by the southern German RPG melodic death metallers BOSPARANS FALL, has been in the stores since the end of May. With their melodic death metal, influenced by the role-playing game ‘Das Schwarze Auge’ (The Black Eye), the quintet has obviously hit the nerve of the listeners; the debut longplayer and also the live debut at the Aaargh Festival met with positive feedback almost without exception. With the quasi title-track of the album ‘Dunkle Zeiten’ (Dark Times), the band is now releasing a video clip on the YouTube channel of MDD Records for the first time. The album is available as a jewel case in stores and, as a limited DigiPak with alternative artwork in a premium aluminium box, exclusively from the band and the MDD mailorder. Check it out!
