Finnish Folk Metal Superstars KORPIKLAANI released their 11th studio album Jylhä back in February 2021. The album was hailed by critics and fans alike as the most elaborate and mature KORPIKLAANI album to date. While this might be true, it doesn’t mean our favourite Finns forgot how to party: during the “Jylhä” sessions they took the classic ANTHRAX banger “Got The Time” (a song originally released in 1978 by British musician JOE JACKSON) and converted it into a typical KORPIKLAANI tune called “Ennen” (“Before”). But that’s not all – they’ve filmed a wild and very entertaining video, shot by Markku Kirves & again starring actor Yrjänä Ermala, which is being released along with the cover song. Enjoy!

“This was the first time a video producer encouraged us to drink while on a video shoot and we were very happy to do as directed!”
– Jonne (KORPIKLAANI)

Guitarist Anton Kabanen states, “Moonlight Rendezvous is a massive dark cyberpunk love story that marks a brave new turn in Beast In Black’s journey. It felt like a mission impossible to capsulize a story worth a full length feature film into six minutes without making it feel like a trailer, and still make total sense when you put all the pieces together. But as always, the bigger the challenge the more it feeds our ambition and excitement, hence we knew we must do this! That’s the way of the Beast. And we all can easily agree that no one was as driven as our multi-talented director Katri Ilona Koppanen, who didn’t only make an extraordinary video for Beast In Black which we couldn’t be more proud of, but also her brilliant debut as a director.”

 


 

The undisputed masters of blackened deathcore, CARNIFEX, have returned to ignite sonic memories of albums past with the scorch of old-school sound. Today, the band releases their eighth studio album via Nuclear Blast Records. In celebration, the band offers fans the visualizer for the track “Cold Dead Summer”.

CARNIFEX comments, “‘Graveside Confessions’ is available everywhere today, this record is 100% for the fans that kept us alive all these years, come see us on tour and get the record!”

Atmospheric black metallers GHOST BATH announced their fourth full-length album, Self Loather, will be released on October 29th via Nuclear Blast Records. With this album, the band closes out their trilogy—tragedy, ecstasy, and dread/hatred—and hosts their most devastating and dark music to date. Today, the band releases the visualizer for the track  “Hide From The Sun” featuring CJ McMahon of THY ART IS MURDER. Watch the video created by Randy Edwards Photos, here.

Dennis Mikula comments, “‘Hide from the Sun’ is the most DSBM track on the record. We’ve managed to achieve a devastating sound while keeping the track catchy and groovy. We worked with our friend CJ from THY ART IS MURDER who killed it on vocals and gave the tune a unique twist. It incorporates our new sound while staying true to GHOST BATH style.”
