A roundup of the latest news from Season Of Mist including updates from Gorguts, Necrowitch and Altarage. Keep up to date here with the latest on the extreme side of music!
GORGUTS
Live Performance Of Pleiades Dust EP Streaming Online
GORGUTS‘ celebrated Metalorgie Fest IV appearance at Le Ferrailleur in Nantes from 2016 is now being streamed in full via YouTube at the link below.
This pro-shot show includes a complete performance of the Canadians’ acclaimed latest EP ‘Pleiades’ Dust’ among other highlights.
When it comes to GORGUTS, you have to expect the unexpected. In an age of a postulated clash of cultures, mastermind Luc Lemay delivers a piece of music that is conceptually and lyrically based on the “House of Wisdom”, a medieval library based in Baghdad and at the heart of the Golden Age of Islam with its many scientific breakthroughs in various fields of learning. As Luc comments: “It is a story about curiosity, beautiful minds and sadly, about how man destroys great discoveries and achievements.” Musically there is more narrative feeling as each section is introduced in such a way that every riff has the space to evolve like a character in a story.
GORGUTS‘ most experimental song so far combines all their virtues into one massive masterpiece. Lean back and listen carefully!

There is a universe of possibilities to explore musical darkness. Yet metal seems to have a tendency for endlessly riding stereotypical riff-horses until they are flogged to death and beyond the point of any meaningful resurrection. DODECAHEDRON furiously destroy such notions and advance to new horizons.
This Dutch League of Extraordinary Musicians is harnessing the power of seething black chaos into a precisely aimed sonic assault. Expanding on the pioneering works of MAYHEM in their ‘Ordo Ad Chao’ (2007) phase and French trailblazers DEATHSPELL OMEGA, DODECAHEDRON push this stream of extreme consciousness forward into even more spine-chilling dimensions.
Their sophomore full-length ‘kwintessens’ arrives with intensified focus. Those atonal and dissonant monstrosities created by ultimate technical mastery and spawned on the self-titled debut album ‘Dodecahedron’ (2012) are now directing their explosive fury with even more precision straight to the point. The balance between aggression and suspended states of icy shock has been re-calibrated.
DODECAHEDRON started out as ORDER OF THE SOURCE BELOW before embracing a clear vision of darkness reaching beyond black metal. Carving their own path into the cosmic dark musical matter with a stellar technical brilliance, ‘kwintessens’ delivers the spark to ignite the new flame. Expect a brutal blast!
Pre orders coming soon
ALTARAGE
Sign To Season Of Mist
Season of Mist are proud to announce the signing of ALTARAGE. The Basque death metal extremists will release its sophomore album on Season of Mist in 2017.
Regarding their signing, ALTARAGE comment: “We are glad that Season Of Mist have joined us on our journey through the nothingness, chanting hymns of failure, and celebrating decay towards our inevitable end. The year 2017 will see a new nihilistic offering. The end is upon us.”
In their own words, ALTARAGE were spawned in a nihilistic cauldron of contempt to reach out the nothingness of all planes of existence. Little is known of the secretive death metal band from Bilbao, the largest city in the Basque country of Spain. In 2015 a demo simply entitled after its year of release, ‘MMXV’ generated interest around the globe and was followed by the critically acclaimed ‘NIHL’ (2016).
