Finnish band Dyecrest is returning after a long hiatus and has just released a new song called "Red Alert". It is a second single from the upcoming full-length album "Are You Not Entertained?" to be released later this spring via Inverse Records."Red Alert", represents more aggressive side of the new album. Besides Salo, the song features also Soilwork's frontman Björn "Speed" Strid on lead vocals.

""Red Alert", is all about that "take no prisoners" attitude and it works as a charm as a duet between Björn and Mikael!" says Dyecrest's guitarist Matti Pasanen with a grin.

"In your face" vocals and tight riffing in the verses combined with a catchy chorus spiced up with a massive choir," describes Pasanen.

Adding that "This was one of the songs I counted on already in the early phase of the production. Listening to the final mix I'm glad to state that I was right. It's a total killer, no doubt about that!" Pasanen ends with a cheery smile.

ALPHA OMEGA Management has a pleasure to announce the signing of ATREXIAL, a Blackened Death Metal band from Barcelona! Their debut album "Souverain" was released on April 2017 by Godz Ov War Productions. ATREXIAL is a reality, an entity conceived with the aim of fusing the brutality of Death Metal with the elegance and darkness of Black Metal under the influence of different subgenres.

Comments the band: "Today we bring big news... We proudly announce ATREXIAL officially signs with ALPHA OMEGA Management. A new stage begins today and there's no better way to start a new episode along with such a professional team who works among the best bands in the world. Together we join forces and from now on "Souverain" and all the upcoming stuff and live gigs are about to reach a whole new level. Expect the best."

ALPHA OMEGA Management adds: "We're glad to welcome these guys in ATREXIAL to our Family! Their music is a modern perspective of Black Metal with flavors of darkness and suffering, it's original and uncompromising, variating between different atmospheres, and delivered with precision and ferocity. Stay tuned!"


The Slow Readers have announced a new album coming May 4th 2018 titled "Build A Tower". From this album comes the band's new song made single, turned into video called "Through The Shadows". A live shot video of the band's sold out headlining show at Manchester's Albert Hall. Check it HERE.


DRAWNED AND QUARTERED started off as Plague Bearer (which is now a side project of the guitarist Kelly) more than two and a half decade ago. Despite residing beneath the radar, the Seattle based death metal force has earned huge admiration from the critiques and the listeners because of their unconventional and dark structured song-writings. Six highly acclaimed full lengths and numerous demo and EP releases are the illustrations why D & Q’s existence in the underground is invulnerable and indestructible.

In "Hail Infernal Darkness", D & Q keeps mastering the acquired sonical influences from Immolation, Incantation, Morbid Angel and Autopsy in their own way. While pushing the boundaries of traditional death metal by infusing technically complex riffs, they retain the dreadful and raw environs with dexterity, a hallmark that is highly unnoticeable among the torchbearers of modern technical death metal acts who only gives priority to metamorphose themselves in a sea of technical showboating. The album clocking in at 41 minutes is an experience of the eternal punishment, where one would be consumed by the flames in hell.

"Hail Infernal Darkness", the third full length of D & Q, was originally released on CD format in 2006 under the banner of Moribund Records. For the very first time this timeless masterpiece will be enfolded on 12" vinyl format through the flag of Krucyator Productions on April 3, 2018. The French label already released the tape format of the latest opus "Feeding Hell's Furnace" last year.

Recorded mixed and mastered by Jesse O'Donnell at Autopsy Room, June 2005, Cover by Grabriel Byrne and the LP layout by Krag.

The cosmos has now aligned, and with great honor Ritual Productions announce BONG's return after three years with a new and momentous rite. 'Thought and Existence" is their sixth album for Ritual Productions and will be unveiled in its entirety this May 4th 2018.

A continuation of Bong’s metaphysical sounds, "Thought and Existence" will take the listener on a spacious voyage that resonates with the works of the band’s past, yet this offering is especially striking and stunning. A resplendent and imposing craft, comprised of two tracks spanning just under 40 minutes, "Thought and Existence" is remarkable in its ability to move the listener and transcend them to imaginative planes anew.

Bong feel ever so omnipresent on "Thought and Existence", continuing their revered ability to transform time through their sublime sonic textures. As all listeners of this rite will attest, the band’s stellar meditative and mystical drone, amplified by the essential and ritualistic hue of the drums, permits our imagination to be heightened. New realms of perception and existence open up, even if only for the duration of the rite; the power of this listening experience subverting the laws of time and space itself.

The first track - "The Golden Fields" - manifests as an aura of luminosity and transcendence whilst simultaneously stirring a foreboding and solemn sentiment that we are sentient, mortal beings forever teetering on the edge of complete darkness. "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", inspired by Borges’ immaterialist fiction of the same title, sees percussive rolls and fills being especially noticeable, making this one of Bong’s most upbeat and rhythmic tracks. Yet, both songs remain grounded in the hypnotic and mesmeric reverb that only Bong know how to channel. You can hear the first insight into these tracks by following the link below...

THE OBELISK CHANNEL BONG'S COSMOS VIA THE "THOUGHT AND EXISTENCE" ALBUM TRAILER NOW SHOWING AT http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2018/03/01/bong-debut-album-trailer-for-thought-and-existence/.

The artwork echoes this philosophy. Ancient star maps, planispheres and the oldest astronomy charts of the skies are known for being persistently accurate in their arrangement and predictions of the constellations. This too rings true for Bong’s sound with "Thought and Existence" seeing the band stick with their original Orion belt trio formation. Bong’s rites have continuously harboured high praise for their ability to take followers into the otherworldly ether and "Thought and Existence" evolves and shimmers like the ever expanding Universe.

Bong’s "Thought and Existence" was recorded and engineered by Mark Wood at The Soundroom, Gateshead during September 2017. The rite was mixed and mastered at XL Recordings Studio, London during December 2017, courtesy of John Foyle (Bobby Womack, Sampha, Damon Albarn) and Adam Richardson (11PARANOIAS, Ramesses, Ancient Lights).

Ethan Brosh's third album "Conspiracy"is out now and will tie into a North American Tour as he will be supporting former Dictators/Manowar guitarist Ross the Bosson this run. The shows will  kick off on March 7th in Sellersville, PA at Sellersville Theater, and will run through the 25th, in West Allis, WI at Lucky Chance.

"I can't wait to get on the road with Ross The Boss this March," says Brosh. "I've known Ross for a little while now since we have a lot of close mutual friends, I'm very much looking forward to have a whole tour with him and rock out all over the US and Canada with his and my band! Sounds like a really good time to me! The boys in my band and myself have been hungry to get back on the road and do another big tour with lots of cities in it! We will have two legs of this tour and right now we are getting pumped to start phase one!"

"We are very much looking forward to coming back to some of our favorite places to play where we have a lot of fans and friends. Sellersville, PA is a place we can't wait to get back to, as well as Quebec City, and of course, Toronto by now almost feels like a second home for us. We are psyched to finally get to play Montreal for the first time ever, we heard nothing but great things about the rock fans in that city and we can't wait to have our show there! Also the west coast in the US is long overdue, and will happen in the second leg of this tour. Last time I toured there with my band was 5 years ago when we supported Yngwie Malmsteen. It's time to go back! This tour is also the first tour to support my brand new album, "Conspiracy," and I can't wait to start playing the new material and have the new look and all that fun stuff!"

The album (which can be purchased here - http://toppresskits.com/artists/ethanbrosh/) features 14 new tracks, that showcase Brosh’s stellar guitar work in the style of hard rock guitar instrumentals, which perfectly balances virtuoso playing and memorable melodies. Also, the production elements of "Conspiracy" were taken care of by some of the industry's all-time best, as it was mixed by Max Norman (Ozzy, Megadeth, Bad Company) and mastered by Brad Blackwood (Alison Krauss), while artwork was supplied by Derek Riggs (Iron Maiden). "This was a 3-year process of countless hours of work by lots of different talented people," explains Brosh. "In short, we believe there is something for everyone on this album and you simply won't be disappointed!"

Brosh’s guitar playing has already been heard on recordings or in concert with SteelHeart, Michael Sweet (Stryper), Carmine Appice (Ozzy, Rod Stewart) and Eric Martin (Mr. Big), Yngwie Malmsteen, Jake E. Lee, Michael Schenker, George Lynch, Greg Howe, Dave Ellefson, Pat Travers, Eddie Money, Uli Jon Roth, Joe Lynn Turner, Mike Mangini, and countless others.

Additionally, a striking new music video has been unveiled for one of the standout tracks off of "Conspiracy,’\" entitled "Tomb of the Gods," which can be viewed here:
