A roundup of the latest news in the underground metal scene including news on Sublevel, Heretic’s Dream, Insatia, Ondt Blod, Atonement Theory, Contra, Tantal and Cave Of Swimmers.
Germany’s modern death metallers SUBLEVEL have released their debut EP “Borders” on April 1st, 2017.
“Borders” combines every element of metal that each member likes. Thus, a creative piece of music came to life that doesn’t quite fit into a certain genre. For convenience or an easier description they call their music modern (Death) Metal.
“Borders” consists of 8 songs, 3 of which are intros/outros. Sublevel have decided to separate them from the actual songs for an easy listening experience in playlists and such.
The EP is available on every platform (Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Deezer, Youtube, Amazon etc.) and Bandcamp

American Symphonic power metal group INSATIA has released the second single, “We Are The Grey,” off of their upcoming album, Phoenix Aflame, due out June 23, 2017 via Pitch Black Records. Originally premiered on Metal Underground, “We Are The Grey” and Phoenix Aflame are available to pre-order HERE now.
Vocalist Zoë Federoff comments that the new track “was actually the first song we had written for this album – originally I had constructed it to be a ballad, but as we started working on it, it became more straight up power metal. I don’t like discussing my lyrics in too much depth with certain songs, because it’s fun to see people apply their own meanings to them. This is definitely one of those songs.”
