HARASAI - New song, new line-up and details on second album

Germany's HARASAI have issued the following statement:

"Hey folks,
we've been a bit stingy with news on HARASAI lately. That's over now!

First of all we're very happy to announce Dennis Baron (FINAL DEPRAVITY) as our new permanent member. We already kicked major ass on stage this year and are now looking forward to a grandiose future as a henceforth complete band. We welcome you, bro!

We will enter the Green Man Studios in Werl and Arnsberg in December / January to record our second album with producer Sebastian Levermann from ORDEN OGAN. The album will be entitled 'Psychotic Kingdom' and will bring you a whole lot of suprises. More heavyiness, more tranquillity, more lyrical depths...

HARASAI 2011 - from left to right: Martin (vox) - Arne (bass)
Nico (drums) - Dennis (guitars) - Yannick (guitars)

As a foretaste of what is to come, we have recorded the new track "Dying Race Domain" with Sebastian Levermann (mastered by Dennis Koehne, a.o. SODOM, EXUMER, THE VERY END) and uploaded the song on our Facebook page (free download!) to give you a rough impression of the new material. Enjoy!

We gonna play our last show in 2011 in our home Altenessen at Zeche Carl (Endzeit Festival w/ SODOM, WORTMORD & BLACK MESSIAH) on Friday, October 21.

Cheers,
Harasai"

NIGHT IN GALES Reveal Another New Track From 'Five Scars'

NIGHT IN GALES have revealed another new song from their critically acclaimed upcoming album 'Five Scars'. 'Days Of The Mute' is available for streaming at the band's Facebook page and on SoundCloud.

'Five Scars' is set to be released in Germany, Austria, Switzerland Nov 4, Europe Nov 7 and US Nov 8 on
Lifeforce Records.

'Five Scars' can be pre-ordered at Nuclear Blast, amazon.de, amazon.com and iTunes.

Dan Swanö (mixing and mastering engineer) on 'Five Scars':

"Working with Night In Gales was pure bliss for me. The material is very strong due to the fact that it’s been around for quite some time now, and it feels almost like a “Best of” album sometimes, because it’s so solid all the way through.

Working on this album actually ignited a spark in my own writing and I came up with one of the best Death/A.O.R. songs I have ever written, during the mix of this album!! Easily one of the best Melodic Death Metal releases of the year!!"

DEW-SCENTED - News on new album, live dates and Necrodeath guest appearance

DEW-SCENTED 2011 at Brutal Assault Festival, Czech Republic

Germany's DEW-SCENTED have issued the following bunch of news: 

"Greetings Thrashers!

As you will have already noticed by now, things are rather quiet for DEW-SCENTED in the public eye. However, things are actually turbulent and challenging behind closed doors, so we wanted to give you a brief update with what’s going on…

New studio album:
Earlier this year we had decided to stop playing shows (apart from a handful of pre-scheduled summer festivals) until at least spring 2012 in order to re-group and to prepare a next studio album recording session. In fact, that’s what is mainly keeping us busy right now. We are making good progress and are already up to song idea number 8. Some truly killer stuff coming up and quite some surprises along the way too. If all stays according to our masterplan, we would have a new release available by mid of next year!

Live shows:
We are soon to announce our next live dates, starting out April 2012! The first confirmed gig has already come in: We are playing at the comeback edition of the “Queens Of Metal” open air festival, taking place July 19 – 21, 2012 in Steinbach-Langenbach (nearby Suhl), Germany. Other bands already confirmed to appear are Exodus, Powerwolf, Vader, Milking The Goatmachine, Dark Age, Criminal and many more. Check out further details here.

South American Invocation:
At long last, the “Invocation” album will be officially and domestically released in South America in the coming weeks. More details will be announced soon, but we are happy to have finally found good partners down there, also for future releases.

Wacken live compilation:
We are pleased to mention that DEW-SCENTED are part of the “Live At Wacken Open Air 2010” 2-CD compilation album, recently released via Golden Core / ZYX. We’ve got 100% live-versions of the two (!) songs “Arise From Decay” and “Never To Return” from our powerful 2010 Wacken show featured on there alongside bands like Arch Enemy, Anvil, Fear Factory, Unleashed, Lock Up, Orphaned Land, UDO, Voivod, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Rotting Christ and many more. Check out more details here. 

Necrodeath guest appearance:

DEW-SCENTED’s Leif Jensen is happy to announce that he is featured with some guest vocals on the upcoming “Idiosyncrasy” (Could have been a D-S album title, damn…haha!) album by Italian blackened Thrash Metal legends Necrodeath. Needless to say, this appearance is both an honour and a pleasure! Necrodeath were one of the earliest obscure European thrash bands that Leif discovered when he started to listen to extreme metal and their “Into The Macabre” (1987) and “Fragments Of Insanity” (1989) albums are real classics. Leif first connected with Necrodeath’s drummer Peso when his later band Sadist toured with DEW-SCENTED in 1996 and their paths crossed last time by the end of 2010 when Peso’s Ghostrider (pre-Necrodeath outfit, now re-united) played a show with DEW-SCENTED nearby Milano. Necrodeath’s new album will be released October 25th, 2011 via Scarlet records. Here is a trailer for the release.

Check out more details on the band’s official website.

OK, guess that’s all for now…we will be back with more details about the upcoming album soon! In the meantime let us hint you on some really good new albums recently released by Havok (“Time Is Up”), Fleshgod Apocalypse (“Agony”) and Warbringer (“Worlds Torn Asunder”). Also, Vektor have their second album (“Outer Isolation”) coming up in November too and first online samples are promising it to be yet another fantastic record! Go check those bands out, they all deserve your attention and support!"

EXUMER - Recording and mixing of new album finished

EXUMER have completed recording and mixing their new album, the first in 24 years, and are now negotiating a deal with various labels worldwide.  

Commented vocalist Mem Von Stein: "The recording and mixing process, which lasted from June to October 2011, has exceeded our timeframe for finishing the album but proved to be necessary in order to satisfy all parties involved. Producer Waldemar Sorychta (Grip Inc., Moonspell, Therion etc.) and his production team worked with us on the final mix for nearly 3 months to ensure best results and elevate the recorded material to the next level. 

This was by far the longest recording and mixing process EXUMER has ever been involved with. However, the results are stunning and we could not be happier with the final product. I believe that this album will perfectly bridge the spirit of the 1980s thrash metal records with today's production techniques. We tried to stay true to our style and what it represents in the greater scheme of guitar-driven music, without compromising on using the tools available to make the album sound as powerful as it can be."
