New York based experimental metal band PSALM ZERO have completed work on their debut album, “The Drain”, which follows their self-released “Force My Hand” 7” EP from late last year.

PSALM ZERO is a duo comprised of acclaimed avant-garde rock musician Charlie Looker (Seaven Teares, ex-Extra Life, ex-Zs, Dax Riggs) and acclaimed forward-thinking metal musician Andrew Hock of CASTEVET.  With Looker (vocals/bass/synth/drum programming) and Hock’s (vocals/guitars/drum programming) combined unique musical vision, what they have created with PSALM ZERO’s debut full-length is an intriguing and challenging listen.  “The Drain” is an album which displays Looker’s distinct clean vocals working…

New York based Sci-Fi death metal band ARTIFICIAL BRAIN have completed work on their debut album “Labyrinth Constellation”.

Featuring Revocation guitarist Dan Gargiulo and ex-Biolich (which once featured CASTEVET vocalist/guitarist Andrew Hock) vocalist Will Smith, ARTIFICIAL BRAIN deliver a devastating offering of atmospheric, dark, twisted and dissonant ambient death metal horror which harbours a heavy Sci-Fi aura surrounding its aesthetic.  “Labyrinth Constellation” is the band’s debut album, after a series of demos which made their rounds within the death metal underground, and an album that will make quite the impression within the U.S. death metal scene.

After a number of delays, through bouts of furious obsessiveness to bring the new AVICHI album to manifestation, AVICHI sole-mastermind/proprietor Andrew Markuszewski (aka Aamonael) has finally completed work on the third AIVCHI album, “Catharsis Absolute”.

In what will reveal itself as the ultimate work in the AVICHI repertoire and within Markuszewski’s own body of work, “Catharsis Absolute” pushes the sonic boundaries that Markuszewski laid down through his vision of true black metal with the debut AVICHI album “The Divine Tragedy” and its follow-up “The Devil’s Fractal”.   “Catharsis Absolute” is a glorious yet furious and moving black metal opus…

The new VAURA album “The Missing” (stream the entire album for a limited time via Pitchfork HERE)  and the re-issue of YOB’s “Catharsis” are both now available to order (CD versions), process, and ship prior to their official Nov 12th release date.  The new Vaura album (check packaging HERE) is a sonically rich album consisting of a seamless mix of progressive metal and classic goth/darkwave that creates a solid identity for this band comprised of such virtuosic musicians.  And after being way-long out of print, YOB’s “Catharsis” album, considered a cult American doom metal classic,…
