Več o samem dogodku najdete v našem Napovedniku.

Ameriška enočlanska zasedba Xasthur bo 5. julija pri založbi Prophecy Productions izdala album Disharmonic Variations. Album bo zajemal trinajst komadov, tukaj pa lahko prisluhnete singlu Messenger of Your Reflection.

Deathcorovci Chelsea Grin sporočajo, da je vrzel na bobnarskem stolčku zapolnil Josh Miller. Zasedba se je pred kratkim razšla z bobnarjem Pablom Viverosom in tako je nov polnopravni član zasedbe postal Josh. Izjava banda:

»We hope everyone has been doing well; we have some updates. We have parted ways with our fill-in drummer, Nathan Pearson. We sincerely value his friendship, as well as his devotion to furthering his craft and bringing his all to the stage. We truly look forward to watching his drumming career continue to blossom and advance, and value his time with us.

Furthermore, the band and Pablo have mutually agreed to separate. Pablo is one of our oldest friends, the life of the party, a masterful player, and a powerful creative. After Pablo spent some years away from the band, we all came together and realized that personal visions had diverged through time. We will always wish the very best for him, and seriously value all that he brought not only to the band, but to our lives. Nothing but tremendous love for him, always. We also encourage everyone to show support for him, Jaek and Alex’s new band, Ameonna.

Moving forward, we are proud and excited to announce that Josh Miller will be joining Chelsea Grin. It goes without saying that the future is bright – you will hear it in our music and witness it in our performances.

We keep very much to ourselves at this stage in our lives, but when we check in we want each of you to know that you are deeply and sincerely valued – we are so grateful for the opportunity to do what we love. We cannot wait to bring more of our vision to you all. Thank you for the years of support and love, and we will see you on our current tour supporting Fit For A King.«

Nedavno smo poročali, da so madžarski ekstremneži Exodikon podpisali z založbo Wormholedeath Records, pri kateri je konec marca izšel album Chaosophilia. Band sedaj predstavlja tudi nov video za komad Untermensch – The Psychics of Deceivers.

Melodični black metalci Dargor so se odločili, da se bodo poklonili legendarni avstrijski zasedbi Summoning. V ta namen je band priredil komad Land of the Dead, ki ga v originalu najdete na albumu Oath Bound od Summoning, ki je izšel leta 2006.

Švedski power metalci Veonity imajo pred mikrofonom novega moža. To je postal Isak Stenvall. Odločitev za razširitev zasedbe je padla po tem, ko se je prejšnji vokalist Anders Sköld odločil, da se bo v celoti posvetil kitarskim dolžnostim v bandu. Z novim vokalistom bodo Veonity tako jeseni izdali tudi nov celovečerec.
