A sonic journey through clouds of thunder, SLOWSHINE combines the wall-of-sound dynamics of Torche with the vintage swagger of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. With the warmth of 70s UK psychedelia and the driving riffs of stoner rock, "Living Light" is an exploration of storytelling through rhythm and texture. FFO: Torche, Crippled Black Phoenix, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Psych doom power couple Jan and Sabine Oberg (Earth Ship, Grin) have teamed up with drummer André Klein (Earth Ship, The Smokin’ 44s) to form a new heavy noise rock project called SLOWSHINE. Living Light is the band’s first musical outing, consisting of eight sweeping tracks that take cues from post-punk, stoner rock, sludge, and shoegaze. As Jan Oberg (guitars & vocals) explains, “'Living Light' is about wandering around as the last person or soul on a destroyed planet where nature has finally taken everything back.” The singing, buried under vast layers of distortion and reverb, conveys stories from a post-apocalyptic world that slowly engrave themselves into the listener’s brain. However, "Living Light" shouldn’t be considered as a warning about impending doom, but rather as an exploration of storytelling through rhythm and texture. Drenched in filters and fuzz, "Living Light" combines the warmth and haze of seventies UK psychedelia with the expansive driving riffs of stoner rock. Songs like “Trails” or “Heights” with their swaggering rhythms really let the brain take the backseat in favor of a more intuitive listening experience. However, before unfastening the top two buttons of their shirt, one should know that SLOWSHINE references the melodic wall-of-sound dynamics of Torche as much as the vintage big ball swagger of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. On their debut, SLOWSHINE excel through a wide range of dynamics, from the contemplative “A Quiet Place” to the explosive “Mother Moon”. Being a product of pandemic times, the "Living Light" was recorded in four live sessions at Jan Oberg’s own Hidden Planet Studio; a tactic that enhances the album’s no-nonsense attitude and sincerity. Nevertheless, the tracks on "Living Light" contain a sonic depth that would suggest a more tedious recording process. From the low rumbling bass of Sabine Oberg to the shimmering 12-string guitars played by Jan Korbach (neànder, Casper) on “Trails”, SLOWSHINE presents a sonic depth befitting of the album’s epic narrative. In combination with a stunning album cover by Benedikt Demmer (Druckwelle), "Living Light" provides the whole package – a sonic journey through clouds of thunder and vast open spaces.

WITHERING SOUL's 'Last Contact' Out Now / "Ascent to Madness" Video Released

 

Chicago (IL) - Blackened Melodic Death Metal veterans WITHERING SOUL have released Last Contact via Mortal Music. The album is available to stream/purchase at: witheringsoul.bandcamp.com/album/last-contact  The band has also released the official video for album track "Ascent to Madness," which can be viewed at youtu.be/OZKxtMHz62I. The video is the work of world renowned artist Costin Chioreanu (Mayhem, At the Gates, Borknagar etc.) Concerning the video concept: "It is a puzzled story about illusions we are aiming for during our lifetime. It is our choice to accept or not that reality is an ever changing painting board." WITHERING SOUL's album release show, which also features MORTA SKULD and DISMALIMERENCE, will take place tonight, September 24, in Chicago at The Cobra Lounge. "Sometimes sharp and cutting, sometimes filthy and infectious, sometimes twisted and evil, but always memorable. You’ll be going to hell if you listen to this album but at least Withering Soul will be there alongside you." - Games, Brrraaains and a Head-Banging Life "Withering Soul’s universe is as rich as dark. Heady and mystical melodies on Last Contact create a vortex of blackness in which the band pours its rage, its melancholy and above all its creativity." (85/100) - Acta Infernalis "A colossal drum sound that provides a thunderous backdrop to each of these Blackened Death Metal cuts, each one an all conquering artillery shell bombardment of blast beats and rampaging fills in keeping with the finest of the frosty Nordic scene that has clearly influenced Withering Soul." (8/10) - Metal Noise "Last Contact has a strong Dissection type of vibe that makes it harsh and melodic at the same time. The juxtaposition of elements from a variety of subgenres works to the band’s benefit. Last Contact has all of the elements to make it enticing and appealing to the listener." - Heavy Music Headquarters "There is no shortage of interesting and catchy melodies, which give the album a more expressive character and make it an interesting item. It is worth checking what Americans have to offer in 2021." - Powermetal Warrior The band released the following statement concerning Last Contact: "WITHERING SOUL continues with their fourth installment of blackened melodic death metal, dramatic mood swings and eerie atmospheres. Last Contact is an anthology of stories that blur the line between the living and deceased and elaborates on the idea of receiving a communication from someone or something that no longer exists. Anything from a voice recording, a distress signal, to a star flickering in the night sky. The observer is left only to their interpretation, unsuspecting of what could potentially be something far more sinister than what appears. Reality is sometimes the scariest narrative of all!" Track Listing: 1. Visitation 2. Allegory of the Void 3. Carrion Reflection 4. Of Blackened Pillars 5. Ascent to Madness 6. Into the Harrowing Expanse 7. The Transcendence of Night 8. Uncharted Course Album Credits: Mixed and mastered by Dennis Israel at Clintworks Audio Cover artwork by Pierre-Alain D. of 3mmi Design (www.3mmi.org) Drums recorded at Belle City Sound Guitar and Vocal recording engineered by Exhul from Ossilegium Bass Guitar recorded at Studio 1134

Produced by The Risen Dread Recorded by Josh Robinson at the JSR Studio in Belfast on June-2021 Mixed and Mastered by Kai Stahlenberg at the Kohlekeller Studio in Germany on July-2021 Artwork by Alcides Burn

Dublin based Melodic Death Metal band The Risen Dread is leaning toward a different sound in 2021 comparing to their EP from 2019. Drummer Colum Cleary, guitarist William Ribeiro, bassist Mat Maher and Marco Feltrin have produced themselves and brough Andreas Kisser from Sepultura to be the guest in “White Night”.  “White Night” denote a crisis within Peoples Temple (Jonestown), followed by a rehearsal of collective suicide. Jim Jones had performed several of these simulations before the day it happened. Reverend Jim Jones had ordered his entire community to drink a flavoured drink mix treated with a mixture of potassium cyanide and tranquillisers, placed in industrial buckets. In total, 909 individuals died in Jonestown; Jim Jones shot himself in the head at the end of that night.

In May of 2019, they hit thestudio to record their debut ep Delusions, releasing it on the 26thof September 2019.
