For fans of Periphery, Meshuggah, Deftones, Devin Townsend, Gojira Canada's No Hope for The Lost Announce Final Fantasy X Themed EP "The Pilgrimage" With Single "Yu Yevon" EP "The Pilgrimage" Out April 9th, 2021 Following the Covid related demise of their band Deadlights, Re Mayer (guitar/backing vocals/synth) and Nathanael Bohnet (bass/lead vocals) took the opportunity to reimagine their sound and image to create No Hope For The Lost . They created their forthcoming introductory EP entitled  "The Pilgrimage"  to give fans a taste of their entirely new sound, but left it just short enough to keep hype levels high. Their first single "Yu Yevon" immediately explodes into a rhythmic groove driven by heavy guitars and bass. It is quickly followed by screamed vocals and synth-driven interludes. The chorus of the track is a key change towards an upbeat and soaring movement that descends back into the heavy rhythmic territory ...

  Third glimpse to Eden - Curimus salutes 80s horror movies with a new music video     Photographer: Vesa Tyni   Finnish death/thrash band Curimus has released a third music video from their upcoming third album "Garden of Eden. "God Eater", drenched in 80's horror film estetics, is the first video directed by award-winning master photographer Vesa Tyni.   Check the video "As I was given full artistic freedom with the production, I decided I wanted to impart an important message through comedy. As a fan of old horror films I draw atmosphere from my 80's favourites, like Evil Dead. I definitely wanted the band to be involved as actors, and place these great personalities in an unusual position. The idea behind the video is the eternal confrontation, where religions determine the boundaries of right and wrong.” There's surely a seed of evil growing in people blindly following their "sacred book", tells Tyni. Garden of Eden is to be released 30.10...

MELIAH RAGE - KILL TO SURVIVE Available as: Deluxe 2-CD LP (180 grams, black, clear and red vinyl) Order here A forgotten classic, without a doubt... remastered! While Boston’s Meliah Rage segued into thrashier territory with the admittedly-spectacular “Solitary Solitude”, their finest moment has to be the debut “Kill to Survive”.  This record is a stone-cold heavy metal classic, fusing classic-sounding riffs with incendiary thrash intensity, epic vocals and an acrobatic, multifarious grasp of the disparate elements that contribute to the overall sound. One could say that “Kill to Survive” feels a lot like Metal Church, but there is some Metallica sprinkled in there as well amid an ephemeral smattering of Flotsam and Jetsam’s eccentricities.  A very compact listen at only seven tracks including the lengthy instrumental eponymous cut (on the original, the Japanse bonus track “Kill to Surive” is now added). For those who are Metal enough to still like: Metal Church, Metallica, F...

"The Ten Commandments” is quite possibly the greatest combination of Death and Thrash Metal ever composed. The album is full of very fast and energetic guitar work, surely how Malevolent Creation got to be known as “Slayer on acid”. They didn’t bring a whole lot of new ideas to the table, but what really separates them from the others is Bret Hoffmann’s unique and intense vocal performance. ...
