Today, Me Saco Un Ojo OjoRecords sets June 20th as the updated release date for Cryptworm's debut mini-album, Reeking Gunk Abhorrence, on 12" vinyl format. Pulverised Records shall be handling the CD version.
Cryptworm may
be a new name to some, but those who've listened to their swampy brand
of filth-ridden death metal will know of its excellence. Now we have
something new and even more disgusting in the form of Reeking Gunk Abhorrence,
a mini-album that truly conjures a foul, sewer-dwelling stench with
meaty, blundering riffs, stomping drums, and puked vocals to make a
slaughtering blend of old-school death metal which shall have slime
running from your eye sockets in just over 20 minutes.
Each of the four tracks delves into a dungeon of horrors that pummels
out grotesque death metal putridity with vitriol and a precise lumbering
blend of swampy instrumentals and gurgled vocals that within the murky
mix of the MLP sounds utterly disgusting. This is a wretched, moldy slab
of filthy riff-craft and stampeding excellence which devours all in its
path and leaves a fetid trail of molten bones in its wake. A grotesque
journey into malignant, barbaric, and subterranean musical extremity
that is only suitable for those who can withstand the might of utterly
punishing, relentless abhorrence from the crypts of the British
underground.
Be prepared, for once you spin this ichorous tome, there is no sending
back whatever vomitous creatures spew out from your speakers...
In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Festering Maggot Infestation" HERE at Me Saco Un Ojo's Bandcamp, where the record can also be preordered. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

death straight from the grave!

Journey recently parted ways with bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith due to the pairs attempt "to launch a coup to take over Nightmare Productions, Inc. (the corporate entity that controls the band’s name and trademark) in order to effectuate some amorphous retirement plan." On May 23rd the band performeda lockdown version of their hit "Don't Stop Believin'" for UNICEF USA's virtual event UNICEF We Won't Stop fundraising effort.
Bassist Randy Jackson and drummer Narada Michael Walden performed the song with lead guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain and vocalist Arnel Pineda as Journey's new rhythm section. Keyboardist / vocalist Jason Derlatka also performs on the song. Check out the clip below.
The global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions regarding large gatherings regretfully make it impossible for Journey to tour this year. After carefully reviewing all options, the decision has been made to cancel the entire tour to make it possible for the band’s legion of hardworking fans to immediately obtain access to refund options during these unforeseen and extremely challenging times.
Journey’s founding member and guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain and vocalist Arnel Pineda issued a joint statement today: “There is no greater thrill for us than playing for our incredibly devoted audience, but their safety must come first. Having seen what the world has endured during the last 45 days, and not knowing what the rest of this year or 2021 will bring, we knew the right thing to do was to make sure our fans’ health was not put in jeopardy and to provide immediate access to refund options given the unexpected events caused by this terrible virus. We would like to thank all doctors, nurses, police, other first responders and essential workers for their heroic efforts; as well as our fans for doing everything possible to stay safe. We would also like to send The Pretenders our best wishes and hope to see them in the future. We will see everyone again as soon as it is safe to tour, and we will share that news as it becomes available. In the meantime, please Don’t Stop Believin’ in the wonder of life and in each other.”
Journey's tour partners at Live Nation will ensure ticket holders will be emailed directly with their refund options including a full refund, or you can request a 150% credit + Live Nation will donate the number of tickets you originally purchased to healthcare workers on the front lines.

Coming from the spectral wastes of the South, Ancient Gate has just released this May 23 their sophomore album, entitled "Empire Beyond Dusk", an invocation of the old ones in ten parts. This particular album took almost a year in the making, from the creation of the ten songs to the finished product. Once "From the shadow lands" and the split "Morbid gates of winter" were done, the band began the composition of the tracks that would be included in the band's second release. The first songs came up real fast, as in the case of "A dream of frozen echoes", "In mournful winds" or "Journey through astral landscapes". By the way, all music was created by Ildrac. Once again, the band used the equipment at Salas Esparta, owned by one of the band's friends, Mike. The equipment used was exactly the same as the debut album, save for the guitar amps (we used Orange this time). The recording process took place beetween the months of August and December of 2019. Vocals were recorded next year, once all the instruments were ready. Some songs were discarded from the full album. One of them was even recorded completely, but at the last minute the band decided not to include it in the track list, as the lenght of the release was long enough. The mixing and mastering were done by Ildrac, as with previous releases by the band. This time, the artwork and logo were done by Danny Artmetal (www.facebook.com/DannyArtMetalAgressuss/), who does a lot of cover art for bands in Argentina.
About the lyrical concepts, they continue the tone of the debut album. Themes range from darkness, old legends and otherworldly planes.
Track by track: In mournful Winds: Lust for power going unchecked that led a monarch to lose his corporeal form and now roams worlds away from our plane. Maybe an analogy to those consumed by their ambition. Musically speaking the song sounds as something coming from the nineties. The percussion at the song's bridge are pure Abigor inspired.
Forsaken realms: Lyrics are inspired (but not strictly about) the story "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath". Someone has the same and recurring dream night after night, about a jeweled city, and his subsequent search for those golden halls. But finding it may mean the loss of his own being. The song was created in a single session and was different from the other tracks as it didn't have any demo made for it previously.
Journey through astral landscapes: What the name says. It tells about travels beyond the physical world and the horrors that lurk behind cosmos. I think the band was through an addiction phase with Memoria Vetusta III from Blut Aus Nord by the time they made the song, even tough it doesn't sound identical.
Empire beyond dusk: The empire that lies beyond the rays of the sun, in wich a tyrant instills terror to those under his yoke. Musically speaking, it shares similarities with Journey Through Astral Landscapes, being inspired by Blut Aus Nord.
Maze of centuries: Behind mountains in frozen regions of the world, a maze away from time. May it be the city of the old gods? After so much violence with previous songs, the album demanded a change of pace. This particular track is mostly half time.
Nightfall at the autumnal forest: A millenial ritual taking place every autumn. Dusk beings gathered at the woods praise nature. It was the last song created for the album and takes no prisoners in its violence and speed. Pure blast beats.
Memories of the forgotten land: Simply a guitar-based instrumental, in the way of Burzum (Naar Himmelen Klarner) or Judas Iscariot (An Ancient Starry Sky).
Rebirth of the ancient spirit: The roar of those willing to break the chains of this world of conformism, invoking the spirit of the ones that came before. The music drinks a lot from albums like Nachthymnen. The intense tremolo riffing at the middle of the track are a testimony to that.
Intro and Outro: Short synth driven pieces. The outro was the first track created for the new album, dating to the "Morbid gates of winter" time.
