 CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY stream new album at New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal... The band's long-awaited third album, "Written Destiny," released this December by Hells Headbangers on CD, LP, and tape formats. "Written Destiny" dashingly and dangerously powers headlong into the '80s underground, more resolutely upping the METAL in the crusty equation and spitting out eight new anthems that are equal parts gleam and grime. It's almost as if the power-trio took their well-worn tank, scrubbed some of the rust off, and gave it an engine pumped full of nitrous; this album simply CHARGES! Not surprisingly, the band's influences this time around are squarely focused on early Onslaught, Warfare, Venom, Anti-Cimex, Nuclear Assault, and Sacrilege UK - but what results is 666% Children of Technology, with a charisma that's undeniable, and undeniably their own.... read more>>  Japan's COFFINS and Germany's DEPRESSION to release split album thru HELLS HEADBANGERS, reveal first tracks... This split brings together two long-running and extremely prolific death metal cults, featuring all-new & exclusive materials. ... read more>>  RVBBER VVITCH set release date for WEREWOLF debut, reveal first track... Shocking and antagonistic in both intent and execution, RVBBER VVITCH is a Canadian extreme metal solo project whose style is an unorthodox fusion of BDSM, black metal, dark ambient, industrial, and experimental. Suitably, the band's moniker was created by combining the first of a nameless dehumanized gimp and the last of a Devil’s offspring abomination.... read more>>  MONGREL'S CROSS stream new HELLS HEADBANGERS album at Black Metal Promotion - ABSU's Proscriptor features as new vocalist... Not for them the over-generalization of "Australia = war metal" nor the simplistic connotations associated with such; still peaking at the height of their compositional powers, Mongrel's Cross remain a great extreme METAL entity. All the drama and danger, legendry and lawlessness, power and poison, and essential OTT abandon of this artform otherwise known as heavy metal - everything that Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court so effortlessly played out with a palpably physical poetry - here on Arcana do they render in more manic and narrative form, no doubt informed by Proscriptor's pioneering work with the singular Absu. In fact, it's a match so perfect (and poignant), it's a small wonder it never happened sooner... Regardless, each of these seven screeds artfully canvasses a wide territory of heavy metal magick - the playing deft and nuanced, the songwriting itself direct yet richly detailed - and once again does the clean 'n' gleaming production fit like a gauntlet lined with velvet. In a word, Arcana is EPIC, in every sense.... read more>>  BLACK DEATH CULT LAUNCH CD PRE-ORDER FOR DEBUT ALBUM - features members of ANTEDILUVIAN and REVENGE... Coated in a glistening-yet-grimy sheen of fullmoon synths, Devil's Paradise most definitely is BLACK METAL of a very old and very unorthodox constitution. Its rhythms are hammering and strident and yet evoking a wildness that borders on delirium. Black Death Cult wield their instruments as weapons and wands alike, so gutted is their physicality and ghastly their atmosphere. Songs likewise take devilish detours, downshifting and accelerating at will, always keeping the listener in thrall but walking a terror-inducing line of tension. Vocals are ritualistic, perpetually unbalanced and unhinged, everything coalescing into one of the strangest and yet also most dangerous sounds the label's laid witness to in recent years. Which is all to say nothing of the band's masterful grasp of dynamics, often allowing clean 'n' chorused textures to take center stage and instill a creepiness beyond compare.... read more>>
