PARADISE LOST announce new album “Obsidian”, AVERSIONS CROWN announce new album “Hell Will Come For Us All”, KORPIKLAANI postpone tour dates & unleash new digital single ‘Pivo Pivo’.
Obsidian… dark, reflective and black: it’s a pretty decent description of the music that PARADISE LOST have been making over the last 32 years, even though this most resilient of British metal bands have stoically refused to be pinned down to one easily defined formula. Powered by a lust for creativity and a stout devotion to haunting heaviness, PARADISE LOST have defied the odds by coming back stronger than ever over the past decade .
“Obsidian”, the new album of Gothic legend PARADISE LOST will be released on 15th May. Today, the band releases a teaser for the opener track “Darker Thoughts” to give a teaste of this new masterpiece.
Singer Nick Holmes comments about the new album: “One of the most eclectic albums we have done in some time, we have miserable songs, sad songs ,slow songs and faster songs. Did I mention miserable?”
The sixteenth PARADISE LOST studio album, „Obsidian“ eschews its immediate predecessors’ gruesome, myopic approach in favour of a richer and more dynamic deluge of black shades. From the deceptive elegance and dual atmospheres of opener ‚Darker Thoughts‘ through to the crushing, baroque doom of war-torn closer ‚Ravenghast‘, „Obsidian“ reveals a band in masterful control of a broad array of vital ideas. Most noticeably, the record boasts several songs that draw heavily from the much-loved, Kohl-encrusted days of ‘80s gothic rock: in particular, newly-minted PARADISE LOST anthems ‚Ghosts‘ is a guaranteed dancefloor-filler at any discerning goth nightclub.
Australian metal destroyers AVERSIONS CROWN are proud to announce their fourth studio album, “Hell Will Come For Us All”, will be released on June 12th via Nuclear Blast.
Today, the band offer fans the first single entitled, ‘The Soil’. Directed by Third Eye Visuals, the music video can be seen, HERE.
The band comments. “We’re excited to be able to release the first taste of the new music we’ve been working on. The sound of AVERSIONS CROWN has grown and matured, and I feel this is our most focused album to date”.
“Hell Will Come For Us All” was produced by the band while engineering was handled by Matt Shorter at Heliport Studios. The album was mixed and mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio with additional mix engineering and vocal production by Steve Seid. Eliran Kantor was enlisted to help paint the story that would be echoed throughout the album.
KORPIKLAANI are pleased to release another adaption of their hit song ‘Beer Beer’. The newly launched lyric video for ‘Pivo Pivo’ which features ACHSAR vocalist Milan can be watched HERE.
The band states: “Today we release our Slovakian Pivo Pivo from our a dear friend Milan,Achsar. We had timed this for our upcoming shows in Slovakia, however due to the current situation, we have had to reschedule to September. For our UK shows we had to postpone, we ask for more patience.”
