Catchy Melodies Meet Dark Realities in Scars of Solitude’s Latest Release

Finnish band Scars of Solitude have released the final single from their forthcoming album Under Disheartening Skies, set to be released on October 11th. The slightly progressive title track features catchy melodies, tasteful drumming, and even a jazzy guitar solo. The lyrics address the current state of the world and the loss of hope for a better tomorrow.

The band’s vocalist and guitarist Tuomo Laulainen shares some thoughts on the single and the upcoming album:

“How are we supposed to dream and have hope when the news outlets, social media, and even our dreams are filled with nightmares? We wrote the Under Disheartening Skies album during 2021-2023. We all know the horrors the world has witnessed during this time, and it doesn’t really seem to be getting much better, does it? Well, I won’t need to use much imagination to come up with depressive topics when writing lyrics for the next album—if we ever get to release one.”

Under Disheartening Skies will be released as a limited edition 12” vinyl (200 copies) and a limited edition digipak CD (300 copies). The vinyl edition is made in Finland and will be pressed by the Finnish vinyl pressing company Helsingin Levypuristamo. The album will also be available on all major digital platforms upon its release.

Tracklist:
1 Stone
2 The Arsonist
3 FOMO
4 Luna
5 Under Disheartening Skies
6 Game of Thrones
7 Doors
8 Phantom Pain
9 Even Angels Will Fall
10 Void of Hope

Finnish deathgrind band K.Y.M.I. releases second single HEMICRANIA from their upcoming album – what a massive headache attack would sound like musically?

Deathgrind band K.Y.M.I. from Finland releases their debut album on September 27th via Inverse Records. The band’s brutal lyrics are about everyday life during the busy adult years and the mid-life crisis. The songs are a result of emotional outbursts packed into a form of brutal deathgrind.

The second single, HEMICRANIA, is about what a massive headache attack would sound like musically. Migraines and other recurring attacks such as these are not only painful but also emotionally draining, often ending in the way the song describes.

Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal etc): https://push.fm/fl/kymi-hemicrania

K.Y.M.I. is a one-man project by Kalle Ylönen, that will in the future also produce Viking jewelry and other artistic craftwork under the name K.Y.M.I.paja (smithery). Tuukka Ojansivu, a strong supporter of the project, is responsible for arranging the songs and recording the instruments for the upcoming album LIHA. The vocal recording, mixing and mastering of the album was done by Pasi Löfgren at Inka Studios.

Arctis preparing for a tour with Apocalyptica released their debut single “I’ll Give You Hell” accompanied by a music video

Drawing inspiration from the mythical winters and mystical summers of the North, Arctis from Finland is a multidimensional new-age metal band whose music combines the hooks and nuances of rock and pop with the heavy cornerstones of melodic metal. Arctis’ songs are part of a big story that takes the listener on an epic journey where only imagination is the limit.

The extraordinary band has already accomplished a lot even before the release of their first song – the band already has a record deal with Napalm Records and a European tour on the way with Apocalyptica.

Arctis release ´the debut single “I’ll Give You Hell”. The song is also the first taste of the band’s upcoming debut album.

“We are very excited about this song! It’s our debut song and our first music video. I’ll Give You Hell was also one of the first songs we wrote, so this is a meaningful release for us. We also can’t wait to share more of the fruits of our labor. Stay tuned – this is just the beginning!”, the band comments and continues:

“The lyrics and concepts of the songs Fire and I’ll Give You Hell came about when we designed wild music videos for them. So, in a way, the visual side came first. It was fun creating a song this way. However, the original ideas for the song “I’ll Give You Hell”, just released, did not end up in the final version. Probably better this way…”

Arctis will play their debut gig as support for Apocalyptica on 11.11. in Luxembourg, which starts an 18-show European tour.

Arctis is:
Alva Sandström – Vocals
Michael Mikander – Guitar
Björn Johansson – Guitar
Mats Ödahl – Bass
Mika Paananen – Drums

Turmio Kätilöt will release their “Reset” album on October 25th.

Turmio Kätilöt will release their “Reset” album on October 25th, the single “Yksi Jumalista” and its video are hurtling towards Turmion Kätilöt’s longest play ever.

Having released their successful album “Omen X” last year, Turmion Kätilöt put more water in the mill and releases their new album “Reset” via Nuclear Blast on October 25th. The uncrowned kings of disco metal take the listeners into the mood of the upcoming album already with the single “Yksi Jumalista”.

MC Raaka Pee states that the single is a deep dive into one’s own indecision.

“Especially in difficult situations, I’ve learned to ask myself and others the question: ‘what do you want?’. I’ve noticed that in conflict situations, people often have no idea what they really want, and this is then an essential question. Otherwise, the basis of the whole thing gets drowned in all kinds of nonsense. “

The upcoming “Reset” album promises to go even steeper.

“I could say that Reset is the bastard child of our previous albums, seasoned with new spices. It has everything you could want from Turmion Kätilöt in the same package and even more. One special thing on the upcoming album is the vocal parts, which are infused with big melodies alongside furious screams – often even at the same time,” adds MC Raaka Pee.

Turmion Kätilöt, who has also toured in Europe, for example on Nightwish’s journey, state that “Reset” is the most appropriate name for the upcoming ensemble. The journey has taken the courage to combine fierce musical and lyrical perspectives – but that’s exactly what Turmion Kätilöt is all about at its best.

“For us, Reset means that we can sum up everything we’ve learned over two decades and add new nuances to the whirlwinds of our metal disco. We’ve raised our own bar record after record, and Reset is our best album to date. We couldn’t be happier about it,” says MC Raaka Pee and continues:

“If we had to decide which new songs to play live, we’d love to play the whole album.”

Turmion Kätilöt released the “Schlachter” single at the end of summer together with Lord Of The Lost’s vocalist Chris Harms, which is also included in the upcoming album.
The album’s full tracklist:

Yksi Jumalista
Päästä Irti
Pulssi
Sinä 2.0
Musta Piste
Trauma
Otava
Se Mitä Et Näe
Kerran Kuollut
Puuttuva Naula
Schlachter

in the beginning of the year with Insomnium.

Omnium Gatherum, one of the export powerhouses of Finnish metal, will go on tour to Japan and China next month, and the mood is being raised with a new video. The live video for the “New Dynamic” was shot in the band’s hometown, Kotka, at the Dark River Festival last year, and the clean live recording of the video is the best way to pay tribute to the band’s playing skills. The video was made by Coldstore Productions and directed by Jari Heino.

The band, who released their “Slasher” EP through Century Media last year, has taken a break from gigs for this summer’s festivals, focusing on working on the material for their next studio album. The upcoming tour in Japan and China is therefore also a special source of joy for the band, especially since the first gig in Tokyo was already sold out some time ago.

“Asia is calling again and OG is answering! There’s going to be full metal coverage in 13 cities, and it’s great to be back in the Far East again after a few years off,” the -[OG]- crew states.

The upcoming tour in Japan and China:

15.09.24 Tokyo – Shibuya Garret – SOLD OUT
16.09.24 Tokyo – Shibuya Garret⁠

Canada’s INFRARED Take Aim With Their Thrash Metal Hit “Concuss” Off New Album “Manifestation” Out Sept 2024

Infrared is true Canadian thrash metal, which initially started in 1986. After a hiatus, they re-emerged in 2016 and have put out a handful of albums since then. Their latest offering is the full-length “Manifestation”, which will be released on September 6, 2024. Ahead of this, they are releasing their second single “Concuss” with a video. They share their thoughts:

“This is a song that was a forced collaboration right from the start of the songwriting process. While Kirk had these great grooving riffs to build the song, the chorus pops with an all-out chant and in-your-face riff that makes you want to hit stuff which was brought to the table by Armin. As usual, Mike and Al ensure the rhythm section is exactly what is needed to get fists pumping.”

They go on to explain that “Concuss” is a straight-up anthem song about retaliating against those who stand in your way, but also a tip of the hat to all those crazy metalheads that hop in the pit and destroy.

Having emerged from the 80s thrash scene, Infrared‘s music is steeped in the same intensity that defined the genre’s pioneers. “Manifestation” continues this tradition, offering a streamlined, intense listening experience that captures the essence of classic thrash. It is recommended for fans of Anvil, Exciter, and Sacrifice.

Watch and listen to the music video for “Concuss” via its premiere on Decibel Magazine HERE.

Due out September 6, 2024, “Manifestation” is available for pre-order at https://infraredmetal.bandcamp.com​

“Heavy, powerful sound throughout and so much catchiness, it’s crazy. By now I must have listened to maybe 250 new albums this year, and this one is definitely in the top 5. Highly recommended for fans of technically minded thrash that fucking slays.” 4.75/5 – The Metal Crypt (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

“Infrared’s “From the Black Swamp” is EXACTLY what the METAL world needs right now… full of heaviness, riffy-ness, depth, progressive leanings and thrashing madness! After consecutive strong releases over the last 5+ years, Infrared’s musical growth cannot be ignored! Raging from their classic 80’s roots, they’ve yet again raised the bar in terms of what powerful thrash metal should represent and embody in today’s heavy music landscape. I cannot get enough spins of this new release! A modern thrash metal masterpiece, this new slag of heaviness incites that tingly feeling on the back of your neck that you just can’t shake off… the thrash metal flag is triumphantly waving for these Ottawa legends!”- Steve Kraus Host of 6o on CKLU 96.7FM (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

“Truly recommended as an essential to all thrash fans! 5/5” – Metal Epidemic (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

“If you are a fan of very well crafted thrash metal, plan to add From The Black Swamp to your collection. Buy Canadian!” – Sleaze Roxx (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

“INFRARED delivers vintage thrash metal with styles comparable to Slayer, Testament and early Anthrax. As all good things typically come back around and this old-school sound is a refreshing change in today’s metal landscape… As a Canadian band that started in the mid-eighties, it is impressive that INFRARED is still making a serious mark with their latest release. The impeccable studio work and enviable songwriting surely position this band for GREAT things to come. 9/10” – Spill Magazine (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

“You can expect a bouncy style featuring sneering vocals, a hefty bass tone that goes hand in hand with the crunchy riffs and solid drum mechanics – crossing lines between thrash and traditional metal, along with the occasional punk/hardcore angst that fueled the early days.” – Dead Rhetoric (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

“From The Black Swamp” is a masterpiece the world needs right here right now. Don’t call yourself a Bay Area thrash fan if you ignore it as I predict it will be someday mentioned in one breath with “South Of Heaven”, “The New Order”, “Peace Sells But Who’s Buying”, “Rust In Peace” (BIG TIME!), “Ride The Lightning” or “Master Of Puppets”, mark my words. 6/6″ – Eternal Terror (2021 – From the Black Swamp)​
​
​“Black Swamp’ is far from average, it is Infrared doing what Infrared do best and thrash fans will bang their head in appreciation.” – Metal Digest (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

“Once again, Infrared offers us a thrash metal that is both complex and easy to access: we will never get lost in watchtower-style twists and turns. 9/10″ – Soil Chronicles (2021 – From the Black Swamp)

Metal And Myth Intertwine In SIEGE PERILOUS’ New Power Metal EP “Creation’s Call” + Denver’s Mile High Power Fest

Denver’s Siege Perilous invites you to embark on an epic musical odyssey with their freshly released second EP “Creation’s Call”. A culmination of years of storytelling and musical craftsmanship, the EP will immerse power metal fans in a world of adventure and intrigue. Vocalist Shaughnessy McDaniel comments

“Our goal with ‘Creation’s Call’ is to present fans with an opportunity to escape the modern world and join us in the worlds of history and fantasy. For the more technically inclined, we have tight, complex arrangements and shredding solos that show off how incredibly talented my bandmates are and how fortunate I am to work with them. I like to think of this EP as a sampler platter of lyrical themes, musical ideas, and narrative storytelling that highlights what we are about in a very diverse array of 5 tracks.”

With each soaring guitar solo and thunderous drumbeat, Siege Perilous invites fans to delve deeper into the realms of their imagination, where epic battles and ancient prophecies unfold. From the thunderous opening chords of “Oathsworn” to the triumphant crescendo of “Brothers of the Five”, the EP takes listeners on a journey through realms both ancient and mythical.

“It gives me great pleasure to tell you that Creation’s Call is a blast. Siege Perilous has succeeded in creating what I would call Epic Power Metal for the Working Man. They don’t waste your time with overlong symphonic interludes between tracks, melodramatic narration, or overproduction that tests the limits of your sanity. The band gets right to the point and pulls you into their epic tales of heroic daring immediately. This is a nice breath of fresh air and if this EP is anything to go by, Siege Perilous has a great future ahead of them. Yes, this could be considered power metal but the no-nonsense approach and urgency to the songwriting makes this release absolutely worth checking out for those of us in the NWOTHM scene. Plus, it’s really just a lot of fun. This one is highly recommended. THENWOTHM SCORE: 9/10” – The NWOTHM

“‘Creation’s Call’ never gets boring, even on Heavy Rotation. Five gifted musicians have succeeded in creating a varied EP. The twin guitar solos are convincing the whole time. It’s just a shame that it ends after twenty-one minutes. It makes you wish for a full-length album. And, of course, a thrilling live performance. 9.3/10” – Metalheads Forever Magazine​
​
​“solid power metal style that should satiate any LARP-attendees or Dungeons and Dragons mavens. Keep an eye on this quintet – wield thy sword as they lead the battle charge for more quality power metal from the states. 8/10” – Dead Rhetoric​
​
​“Creation’s Call not only highlights Siege Perilous’ dedication to epic storytelling but also emphasises their versatility within the power metal genre. With influences ranging from historical events to high fantasy, this EP offers a rich and varied auditory experience that will captivate fans. Prepare to embark on a grand journey through myth and history as Siege Perilous delivers their latest saga.” – Amplify The Noise​
​
​“Creation’s Call it is a cohesive and well-crafted work, where the combination of rich letters in history and fantasy, with a meticulous musical execution, it makes mandatory, regardless of its short duration. [82%]” – Via Nocturna​
​“Creation’s Call doesn’t get boring even in heavy rotation. Five gifted musicians have created a varied EP. The solos of the twin guitars are convincing across the board. It’s just a shame that it’s over after twenty-one minutes. You want a full-length album. And of course a sweaty live performance. 9.4/10” – Keep On Rocking​
​
​“Colorfully mixed NWOTHM/Epic Heavy/Power Metal elixir that appeals to a broad range of fans between ALESTORM, BATTLEROAR, ETERNAL CHAMPION, GATEKEEPER, IRON MAIDEN, RUNNING WILD and WRATHBLADE. Awakens a huge appetite for a full long-play album. On this EP you can clearly see that the band has enormous potential and has already given a great taste of their skills. Conclusion: Strong-looking genretobak that falls out of the usual range! 8,5/10” – FFM-Rock​
