Moldovan progressive modern metal unit INFECTED RAIN have finally revealed the highly anticipated next chapter of their metamorphosis – their otherworldly fifth album, Ecdysis – today via Napalm Records!          

Garnering more media buzz than ever before, today, the band wraps up their onslaught of new singles with the release of standout track "Longing" and its eerie, thrilling new music video. The track ransacks with instant angst while showcasing some of the most varying guitar work on the album, fluxing between churning grooves, towering leads, technical effects and ominous chords.          
 

Frontwoman Lena Scissorhands says about “Longing”:

"Never happy, never content! We spend our lives craving and longing for things that someone else has or for things that we think will make us happy.      
'A picture immaculate, perfectly designed.               
A story in which you’re always desired.'        
What is happiness really?"  

 

Watch the official music video for “Longing” HERE:

 

INFECTED RAIN have become one of the most exciting new acts in the heavy music world, with charismatic, multi-talented frontwoman Lena Scissorhands emerging as one of the fastest-rising leading ladies of the genre. Now, the band arises from the dark depths once again. Produced once again by Valentin Voluta, Ecdysis successfully demonstrates ultramodern brutality without sacrificing emotion and melody – showcasing a new layer of INFECTED RAIN that longtime followers and new fans alike will embrace.         
 
Frontwoman Lena Scissorhands adds about Ecdysis: 
"While the whole world was in a deep depression, Ecdysis was slowly but surely maturing. The time in isolation away from all our plans and goals, away from loved ones and the stage, brought out something so new and different in us. A new chapter starts with this album, a chapter of raw emotions and complete commitment."      

First single “Postmortem Pt. 1” dispenses the patented INFECTED RAIN formula instantly, with eerie synth-laden soundscapes seamlessly cascading into countless layers of otherworldly atmosphere backed by thick, grooving riffs, barreling drums and skyscraper growls. Tracks like “Fighter” bring out the ruthlessness of the band in full force with hardcore levels of aggression, inciting a tornado of rhythms and provoking lyricism beckoning the listener to stay focused in the here-and-now and fight! Featuring tough-as-nails Butcher Babies vocalist Heidi Shepherd, sonically slaughtering single “The Realm Of Chaos” pummels and bends as it decimates with a mosh-attack unlike any other on Ecdysis. Noteworthy standouts like “Longing” and “These Walls” ransack with instant angst, while selections such as “Everlasting Lethargy”, “November” and “Never The Same” boast some of Lena Scissorhands’ most eclectic vocal performances amid ripping pit-worthy metalcore and dazzling electronic passages. Examples of stunning, dynamic songwriting manifest with honest offerings like the impressive “Goodbye”, haunting “Showers” and threatening album closer “Postmortem Pt. 2” (shortly advanced by sneaking electro-interlude “Nine, Ten”). The finisher encapsulates the album’s ethereal, immense quality while connecting back to its start like a sonic ouroboros. Produced once again by Voluta Valentin, Ecdysis successfully demonstrates ultramodern brutality without sacrificing emotion and melody – showcasing a new layer of INFECTED RAIN that longtime followers and new fans alike will embrace.

Claustrofobia shares new single "Corrupted Self" feat. Marc Rizzo

Longstanding Brazilian death / thrash metal trio CLAUSTROFOBIA has signed with Metal Assault Records for a two-album deal. Formed in 1994 by brothers Marcus and Caio D'Angelo, the band boasts of a career spanning nearly three decades, a discography comprising six full-length albums and a DVD release, a multitude of international tours, high-profile live performances sharing stages with the likes of Iron Maiden, Slayer and Anthrax ... and countless fans all over the world.

Now headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Claustrofobia has completed their seventh full-length studio album. Produced by Adair Daufembach and Claustrofobia, and recorded, mixed and mastered by Adair Daufembach in August 2020 at Northwood Sound Studio in Los Angeles, Unleeched, which will be released by Metal Assault Records on March 11 2022 on digital and physical formats. The album's 2rd single, "Corrupted Self", feat. Marc Rizzo premieres on January 7 along with a lyric video on Decibel Magazine. "'Corrupted Self' rips out of the womb with a sludgy, trudging pace. The band’s founding brothers Marcus D’Angelo (vocals/guitars) and Caio D’Angelo (drums, effects) set the foreboding tone. But a minute into the track, evidence of the band’s ferocious thrash roots surface. Bassist Rafael Yamada’s backing shouts create an element of crossover punk and pack an extra punch of adrenaline. As the song hits a breathless sprint, Marc Rizzo (formerly of Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy) lends some fiery solos to this treatise against political corruption", said Sean Frasier

Pre-orders for the new album, on claustrofobia.bandcamp.com.  

"It was great working with Claustrofobia. I have been a big fan of this band for a long time. They are one of the best metal bands out there today and from Brazil", said  Marc Rizzo.

"It's an honor to have Marc as a guest on our album, he's a guitar master and spent many years playing alongside Brazilian Metal icons. He knows very well how metal runs in our veins. We've known each other for a few years in Brazil when we played with Soulfly and we've kept in touch ever since. Our last show before the pandemic was with Soulfly in Las Vegas, and that day he offered to do a guest appearance and we were flattered by his attitude. most brutal song on the record", said Marcus D'Angelo.

CLAUSTROFOBIA - Corrupted Self - feat. Marc Rizzo (Lyric Video)

More about Claustrofobia: Founded and led by the D’Angelo brothers, fiercely independent since 1994, CLAUSTROFOBIA acts with the same respect and attitude in the dirtiest underground clubs or on today’s biggest stages. Their unmistakable energy and authenticity has won them countless fans throughout Brazil, South America, Europe and the United States. It is no surprise that they shared the stage with Metal royalty Iron Maiden, Slayer, Anthrax, among others. In 2019, they returned to Brazil for a historic show at Rock in Rio, at the request of Brazilian fans, through a nationwide petition. The band was also invited by Slayer to open for their final show in São Paulo.   "Building a cult is one of those things that’s easy in theory but tough in practice. Or it is, anyway, if you’re not Claustrofobia — a Brazilian death metal-tinged trad-thrash ultra-power trio that will have you head banging your way into the fold via the new Caio D`Angelo-helmed video for the soul-stirring, killer anthem 'Riff Cult'" - Shawn Macomber, Decibel Magazine, December 2020

HAMMR set release date for new HELLS HEADBANGERS album

 

Today, Hells Headbangers announces February 11th as the international release date for Hammr's highly anticipated second album, Eternal Possession, on CD and cassette tape formats. The vinyl LP version will follow later this year.

It was but early 2018 when Hammr made its full-length debut with the critically acclaimed Unholy Destruction courtesy of Hells Headbangers. Built on a proud foundation of proto-black metal, hardcore punk, and evil speed metal, here Hammr let loose a wild 'n' loose blast of what mainman JH at the time dubbed "Satanic speed." With solos flying fast and free, instilling that very lawlessness so often missing from heavy metal these days, Unholy Destruction was ever aptly titled - and put Hammr on the international map with no small amount of punctuation.

And that punctuation becomes even louder (and lewder) with Hammr's second album, Eternal Possession. Now flying solo again like at the band's beginning, JH here lets loose with a cruder, ruder iteration of that noble foundation. No longer strictly "Satanic speed" simply because this IS undeniably the Hammr sound, each of these nine sick 'n' sleazy slices of minimal-is-maximal crush just steamroll the listener with preternatural ease. For that, Eternal Possession is aptly titled: this monomaniacal surge is undeniable and irredeemable, with nothing but immediate immersion-unto-submission guaranteed. Curiously, Hammr's attack here is harsher and more uncompromising than ever, and yet its apparent crossover appeal is wider, ranging devotees of the crustiest black metal to obscure punk fetishists, from hard 'n' heavy deviants to meat & potatoes headbangers. Simply put, the eternal black flame of metalpunk lawlessness burns brighter than ever on Eternal Possession, and you WILL be consumed!

Still no politics, no party, no drinks: Hammr pander to no one, and remain the lonest wolves out there. Eternal Possession forever!

Roam alone with the previously revealed "Forces of Sin" HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Hammr's Eternal Possession
1. Forces of Sin
2. Ritual Desecration
3. Seeping Chalice
4. Cascading Lustful Void
5. Suspicion
6. Negative Shift
7. Eternal Possession
8. Ceremonial Spite
9. Torment Prevails Again
