Swiss post-hardcore/noise/metal pratictioners KEHLVIN streamed entire new album ''Holistic Dreams' // Out now On CD/LP/Digital through Division Records

As announced a few weeks ago with some various excerpts from the effort ("The Impossibility Of Nothing" and then "Electric Monks"...), six years after their last studio effort, Swiss (post)hardcore/noise-metal act Kehlvin finally released a brand new studio album called 'Holistic Dreams' on CD, LP & Digital through Division Records (Dirge, Knut, Process Of Guilt, Rorcal, Unfold).

In addition to the official release-news, the album is also available for full-streaming and "Pay What You Want" Digital Download on Bandcamp.

...For the record...

Formed back in early 1999 in La Chaux-de- Fonds, Switzerland, KEHLVIN is delivering a personal blend of progressive and metallic noise-hardcore. After the release of their first acclaimed album, 'THE MOUNTAIN DAYLIGHT TIME' the members of Khlvn have collaborated with their friends from Rorcal in order to record a split album called 'ASCENSION'.

After this monolithic masterpiece, the band has recorded an EP called 'HOLY CANCER'. In order to promote this piece of pure aggression, KEHLVIN has toured across Europe with the bands Celeste and Junius. In 2012 the band has released their second
full length entitled 'THE ORCHARD OF FORKING PATHS', a new celebration of tortured sludgin’prog metal.

One year later, the band has toured again across Europe and during this tour, they met the polish band Fleshworld and decide to collaborate with them. The result was 'TO DENY EVERYTHING THAT’S MUNDANE', a split vinyl released in 2015.

After another European tour in order to promote this last release, the band entered a non-programmed hiatus, spending a lot of time building its own studio. The band’s members then slowly and meticulously began to write new songs. The resulting new
album is called 'HOLISTIC DREAMS' and shows a band at the very top of its possibilities.

Mental Torment - EGO:GENESIS (Metallurg Music Release: 29 September 2021)

1. 2009, Mental Torment played their first gig in Kyiv music club Prime. Also, the band took part in Doom Over Kyiv 4 festival in 2011 with such giants as Saturnus and Autumnia. During that era, Mental Torment was a mostly funeral-oriented band.

2. After the recording was ended, Mental Torment was signed with Solitude Prod label and the debut album was released on 21/01/2013.

3. In March 2013, with the support of Metallurg Music, the band toured to support the album release through Ukraine, Belarus, and Russian cities along with the Letargia band.

4. Unfortunately, due to internal disagreement, Mental Torment took a small pause after that. 2015 saw one last show with On The Verge members as part of a charity gig organized by Mykhailo to support military medics. And then Mental Torment went to the bottom till 2020…

5. April 2021, within one month all lyrics were written for each song, along with whole album art. At the beginning of 2021, Mykhailo was endorsed by Avaks Custom Guitars (Ukrainian hi-end guitars company) and did whole guitar tracking using his Avaks SE7EN custom guitar. Later in May 2021, the new album was recorded as a whole. Mykhailo did most of the recording and mixing in his home studio. During the recording session, Andrii visited Ukraine and tracked whole bass parts just in a couple of days.

6. In June of 2021 Mental Torment announced via Metallurg Music the 2nd Album "ego:genesis" which will be released on 29.09.2021 on all digital platforms.

Frontières announces an upcoming single: First Born Blessing

September 2021 - Hailing from Quebec, Frontières is a band with a widely diverse creative approach, and a distinctive attitude that led them to experiment with various styles and genre currents. The group consists of Dominique Côté, Frédéric Stankunas, Samuel David-Bélanger, Yannick Lehoux and Joel Lord who joined forces to create a thick, cohesive tone. Each musician brings something unique to the table, and the sum of the parts, as they say, is truly interesting and spot-on, hitting the mark with a fine-tuned sound that you would expect from a much experienced band rather than from a relatively new line-up of musicians jumping onto the scene! From the aggressive edge of metalcore and post-hardcore, down to the wholesome melodies of modern heavy metal, anything goes. Their most recent studio release, First Born Blessing, is yet another taste of the band’s resourcefulness and willingness to set the bar higher with a unique sound. This release is going to appeal to fan of artists such as Spirit Box, Fit For A King , and Currents, among others! The track immediately sets the tone with a dark and ominous tone, preceding the massive guitar walls and relentless drums. There is a slightly progressive nature to the song’s arrangement, as it constantly evolves, exploring new dynamics as the track moves along. The vocals are fierce and aggressive, effortlessly cutting through the instrument without competing for space in the mix. Ultimately, “First Born Blessing” is a perfect example of how the band set out to stay true to the roots of the genre, while also exploring new musical horizons and bringing some innovation to the modern metal scene. If this song is any indication, we are definitely in for a very interesting time for this band, and we can’t wait to hear more.

Check out the video!

First Born Blessing brings a lot of energy to the table, and the track is actually mixed really well, highlighting the accomplished feel of this production. From the moment you hit play, you’ll instantly connect with the band’s passion and genuine ability to transport the listener to a different place with their songs.

Check out Frontières, and do not miss out on First Born Blessing, which is going to be available on the web starting from October 1st, 2021.
