(news) BULLET TO THE HEART REVEALS VIDEO FOR BRAND NEW, IMPASSIONED SINGLE – BIRTH OF A TRAGEDY!

Female-fronted alternative metal quartet Bullet To The Heart is back – after the band’s previous and critically acclaimed, atmospheric “Falling Away” – with a brand new video for the group’s impassioned and poignant new single – “Birth Of A Tragedy”! Rolling along with lush production, slick beats and showcasing the band’s electronically conscious side, “Birth Of A Tragedy” is an innovative musical statement, as the lyricism in conjunction with the gorgeous, provided vocals evolve into a rich piece of music with exhilarating strings and a grandiose climax. Developing a clear example of Bullet To The Heart‘s ability to achieve a great balance between the different elements utilized throughout the song and creating an incredible flow in the track, while the symphonic parts add depth and texture, this single is a great representation of the group’s talent to perform huge, arena rock influenced, powerful, poignant choruses with a very climactic feel, with the deep, rigged guitar riffs underneath just enhancing it, all meld into a cohesive whole, including the nature of the video, which aims to present the original, energetic essence of this track.

Discussing the meaning and the influence behind “Birth Of A Tragedy”, Bullet To The Heart adds: “This is the continuation of our song “Breathe”, which presents the motion of trying to move on from the loss of someone you’ve loved and learning how to live without them. The video shows someone trying to transcend past their earthly form to reach the highest version of themself, while trying to battle societal standards, such as the two women in the video. It calls back to our previous video “Falling Away”, where the Queen reached
her crown and is now trying to move beyond. Always at a constant struggle to either stay put in set ways or move on to search for ones true self”.

(review) Primal Creation – News Feed

Belgian thrashers Primal Creation have been in the scene since 2007 and this is their second full length album. There are nine songs on this opus and first one called Extremely Dangerous serves as kind of intro to the thrash mayhem that awaits us when it starts for real. The music of Primal Creation can be described as brutal thrash metal, bordering somewhere between old school of European thrash metal and American more modern version of groove and street smart thrash. Lyrics deal with failures of us as humans, injustice, sarcastic yet in your face and smart at the same time. Vocals are angry and shouted but there are enough death metal influenced growls to satisfy brutal fiends like in excellent Vial Play. Dual guitars deliver groovy and brutal riffs, but there are lots of catchy hooks and melodies underneath all the brutality. Rhythm section does its work impeccable destroying everything in their path. This is a lesson in thrash metal.

The globe was ravaged by pandemic in the wake of the release of Cirith Ungol’s triumphant reunion album, “Forever Black”, in April 2020. As time stood still, the band dug deep into their archival crypts, drawing back the veiled mists of history to expose long-forgotten jewels from their storied past. In so doing, the band exhumed four songs written in a bygone era but never properly included as part of their fabled discography. Cirith Ungol swept the dust off these precious relics, summoning long-dead forces back to life. Each song was reimagined for today, injected with a fresh dose of power and vitality while preserving their trademark mysticism and remaining drenched in sinister, apocalyptic energy. Recorded under the watchful eye of producer Armand John Anthony (Night Demon / Bewitcher / Gygax) in the darkness of 2020, Half Past Human promises to be a treasured addition to the music collections of Cirith Ungol’s loyal legions. In keeping with tradition, the package is completed by stunning cover art courtesy of acclaimed fantasy artist Michael Whelan, from the original Elric series.
