Guitarist, vocalist, and composer Sasha Giller describes it as follows:

"The story you are going to hear isn’t only a trip across the dark dream world; it is also the story of fighting with yourself. It’s the story about how strong you can get once you accept yourself as you are.
The story of the album starts when the protagonist wakes up in a dream and goes to the mirror where he sees a twisted image of himself, the phantom monster of sleep paralysis. He escapes the place he found himself in, trying to run away from the bleak reality. He flies among white clouds trying to find a rainbow, but falls to the ground when thunderclouds and a storm come.
The world beneath the clouds is filled with rains and a piercing cold. To find a rainbow there seems to be impossible and the darkness slowly starts to swallow him as many others before. He doesn’t give up chasing it, but the truth is, it is him, who is the phantom monster behind the mirror. He is just the mind projection of the true protagonist, who sleeps paralysed seeing nightmares. He tries to explain to the true protagonist that they are two parts of the whole one and only if they accept each other, they both will be able to escape the dark world they are stuck in.
But when sleep paralysis finally ends, a lucid dream starts again."

Line-up:
Sasha Giller – guitars and vocals
Alexander Dovgan’ – drums

Mephisto release single from their upcoming album "Pentafixion"

Cuban Black Metal band Mephisto, who just signed with Wormholedeath Records, are releasing a new album, called Pentafixion.

The single has the same name as the album, Pentafixion, and you can listen/watch it here:

The video was shot on location in Havana by renowned Producer and Film Maker Victor Vinuesa (Vitiko).

Tracklist

1. Intro - Enter The Storm

2. Storming war anthems

3. Pentafixion

4. The birth

5. Rebellion

6. The falling

7. Curse of the pharaoh

8. The mighty ring

9. From Hobbiton toward the mountains of Gorgoroth

10. The last battle

11. The undivine blessing

12. Yavhe Sabbaoth (King of nobody)

13. Burning Fantoft

Lead Vocalist & Band Director – Osney Cardoso  says:

"It has been a very long journey to arrive at this place where we are ready to release our first single ‘Pentafixion’ off the highly anticipated album with the same name.
The song is backed up by a masterful piece of cinematic filming; all carried out in Havana under the direction of respected film maker Victor Vinuesa and producer Oscar Maceo de la Torre.
The band is really happy with the outcome of the recording and the final music video is causing quite a stir amongst some circles in our home country.

It’s a very confronting song and music video which is probably why it has been censored in some places. The video does present some pretty harsh images to do with suicide but we did this because the song and music video has an underlining message to the youth of today which we felt was important to share to our legion of metal fans everywhere. Pentafixion is the first single off the album with plans by our label WormHoleDeath records to follow this up with the release of ‘The Mighty Ring’ in February 2021 and ‘The Birth’ at the start of March 2021 before the full length album is released late March 2021." 

Lineup:

Osney Cardoso Riaño - Vocals
Alexander Jorge Parra - Bass
Kevin Chaperón - Guitars

Vulture Industries' sophomore album to be released for the first time in vinyl

It is the 11th anniversary of the album The Malefactor's Bloody Register. To mark that date, Dark Essence Records is making the album available in vinyl.

Originally recorded at the Conclave & Earshot Studios by Bjørnar Erevik Nilsen, and mastered by Brian Gardner (ISIS, NIN, David Bowie), The Malefactor’s Bloody Register includes guest appearances from  Herbrand Larsen (ex-Enslaved/ ex-Audrey Horne) on Hammond organ, Øyvind Rødset (formerly of Ugress) on saxophone, Audun Berg Selfjord (Funin) on cello and Kristin Hunter (ex-Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra) on viola. 

The cover art for The Malefactor’s Bloody Register is designed by Maja Markegård and features Helge Jordal on the cover, making it the second time that the actor appears on a Vulture Industries release.  One of Norway’s most respected character actors, Jordal’s collaboration with Vulture Industries started when he heard “The Dystopia Journals” and agreed to work with the band.  This time he takes on the guise of the Hangman, brandishing a law book and clutching a noose, in an album that takes a satirical look at the theme of crime and punishment from the perspective of both the criminal and the hangman. 

Track listing for The Malefactor’s Bloody Register is as follows:

Side A:
Crooks and sinners
Race for the gallows
The bolted door
Of branded blood
 
Side B:
I hung my heart on Harrow square
This cursed flesh
Hangman's hatch
Crowning the cycle

The Malefactor’s Bloody Register will released on the 5th March 2021 and will be available in red in black coloured vinyl. It can now be pre-ordered from:

Webshop: https://darkessencerecords.no/shop/
Bandcamp: https://vultureindustries.bandcamp.com/album/the-malefactors-bloody-register
US Webshop: https://darkessence.aisamerch.com/
