BLACK MESSIAH - Release Show For New Album Heimweh in Oberhausen

Leading German pagan / viking metal band, BLACK MESSIAH, returns with their new studio album Heimweh today, November 29, via AFM Records. On November 30, BLACK MESSIAH will celebrate the album release with a special show at Oberhausen, Germany’s metal club Helvete. Support comes from Ruhr Area’s massive metallers THE VERY END and newcomers IN WEAK LIGHTS. The band is currently putting finishing touches on their new video clip, which was filmed for the song Wildsau. Check Jötunheim, a brand new BLACK MESSIAH track coming off the Heimweh album:

EXTREMEFEST 2013 - Further Bands Confirmed

"2012 marks the unholy birth of the one and only EXTREMEFEST – the first issue of the festival sated the bloodthirst of thousands of extreme metal fans over the course of three days!

We partied with big names of the scene and sweated in countless circle pits …over 70 bands with a stylistic variety ranging from black, death, thrash, grindcore all the way to modern deathcore sounds decided to drop by. Unbeatable, you say?

Fear not: bands like BEHEMOTH, KATAKLYSM, LEGION OF THE DAMNED, THYRFING, GRAVE, TANKARD, VADER, ENSLAVED and many more will make sure that you’ll get the most brutal party in this solar system at EXTREMEFEST 2013!"

Today the following further bands have been confirmed:

CARACH ANGREN
If you dig classic black metal mixed with symphonic elements, you surely will have come across Dutch band CARACH ANGREN! Their sound is often compared to that of early DIMMU BORGIR, and their sombre and majestic songwriting impressed an ever-growing fan base on albums such as Death Came Through A Phantom Ship (2010). CARACH ANGREN recently thrilled with Where The Corpses Sink Forever (2012).

DESCENDING
DESCENDING are hailing right from the heart of Greece – Athens! Founded in 2007, these guys indulge in modern death and thrash metal with melodic hooks guaranteed to get you addicted! After the release of their new opus magnum New Death Celebrity early 2013 and a planned tour with Greek comrades SEPTICFLESH, shooting stars DESCENDING will make an appearance at the EXTREMEFEST!

MALIGNANT TUMOUR
Czech act MALIGNANT TUMOUR was one of the first bands in their home country to belch out extreme sounds in the early 90s. The raw songwriting of their early years has now evolved to balls-out “Dirty Metallic Crust’n’Roll” – an infectious and groovy mixture! The brand new MALIGNANT TUMOUR album Overdose And Overdrive will be released early 2013.

VIBRION
VIBRION can proudly claim to be one of the first death metal acts ever to emerge from Argentina! Quite a while ago these guys relocated to Belgium though to indulge in their hefty brand of raw death and thrash metal. In 2012, the old school brigade unearthed the exhaustive box set The Contagion Decade – and now it’s time for their return on stage (and to the studio)!

KADAVERFICKER
KADAVERFICKER means CORPSEFUCKER – quite the subtle band name, right? These Germans have been dealing in death metal and grindcore since the early `90s, or as the band likes to call it: “Nekrokore”! Obviously their lyrics are more in the “City Of The Living Dead” vein than “Pretty Woman”, and after a long hiatus KADAVERFICKER finally returned in 2012 with Exploitation Nekronation!

If you want to get your head demounted, this upcoming brutal-event will be definitely the right place and occasion for. Let the darkest sounds rule the earth!

And here's a tour-statement by KATAKLYSM:
"The intention was to end the world tour with our 20th anniversary show at SUMMER BREEZE this August, but with the demand for KATAKLYSM growing in Europe for a return to a club tour, we decided after much thought to do one last short run in December and bring different style bands this time. We are honored to have legendary Tom G Warrior and his new evil vision of TRIPTYKON, our old crazy friends in MARDUK and we decided to re-invite our entertaining goatfucker drunks of MILKING THE GOATMACHINE, two more special guests will be added. This tour is our way of doing one last bow to our friends in Europe before we take an undetermined break time... We will do a few shows to support the "THE IRON WILL" DVD when it comes out in 2012 and possibily a US return for that, but that's all she wrote folks."

Diese Woche Live im Ruhrgebiet - DORNENREICH, SODOM und BONECRUSHER FEST

Von Mittwoch bis Samstag jagt im Ruhrgebiet ein Konzerthighlight das andere. Es wird alles geboten, was das Metal Herz begehrt! 

Den Auftakt machen am 16.02. im Turock Essen DORNENREICH, deren aktuelles Album "Flammentriebe" mit die höchste Durchschnittsbewertung der letzten Jahre in der Presse erhalten hat - besonders schön auf den Punkt gebracht von metal.de: "Flammentriebe ist purer schwarzer Edelstahl, intensiv glühend, brennend erhaben und mächtig. Ein Werk von zeitloser Eleganz und faszinierend mystischer Aura. Das siebte Album DORNENREICHs entfacht einen unbändigen Feuersturm, ein loderndes Manifest des Black Metals." 10/10 
Wer wissen möchte, was das auf der Bühne heißt, kann bei den Kollegen von Stormbringer das Review der Show in München lesen. Special guest der Tour sind AGRYPNIE. 

SODOM: die "Live... In War And Pieces Tour" gastiert am 17.02. in der Zeche Bochum, mit dabei sind DIE HARD und WORTMORD. Auch hier ist die Mannschaft von Stormbringer schon vor uns in den Genuss eines Gastspiels gekommen. Laut Review der Show in Wien dürfen wir mit der Kunstform "Thrash Metal Entertainment" durch Herrn Angelripper rechnen - bei seinem Heimspiel sicher erst recht... Hier als Appetithappen ein Video der Show im Z7, Pratteln: 




Freunde des gepflegten Geknüppels: das BONECRUSHER FEST ist unterwegs! Zieht die Hosen stramm und kommt an Samstag, 19.02., ins Turock Essen. DYING FETUS, KEEP OF KALESSIN, CARNIFEX, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE und ANGELUS APATRIDA haben sich zusammengerottet, um Euch den Arsch zu versohlen. Die urspünglich angekündigten ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY haben abgesagt und werden durch BURNING THE MASSES vertreten.
