ROOT "Kärgeräs - Return From Oblivion"



Legendary Czech metallers ROOT announce the release of their tenth album “Kärgeräs – Return From Obliveon” on November 25th through Agonia Records.
On an official statement the band and the label shared many details concerning the new album
"Kärgeräs - Return From Oblivion", will be different from their 2011's offering, "Heritage Of Satan", says the band: "As always in our history as a band, we aim to deliver a unique album, something that will stand out and shine its own light in our discography. Expect dark metal at its best, along with some surprising elements. We've recorded one fully acoustic song and one entirely instrumental. Overall, the album will include ten new tracks that will differ from our previous records".

“…Lyrically, it will be a concept album, and looked at from that perspective, it'll continue the stroy begun by their 1996 release under a similar yet shorter title, "Kärgeräs", that presents a story of a pround nation.”

“The album artwork was hand-painted by Thomas Bruno. The painting started off as a portrait at first, but after the band's decision to use it as cover, the mystical tree, ravens and other elements where added. Recroding, mixing and mastering took place at Shaark Studio in South Moravia. Big Boss produced the album.”

The Album will be available in the following formats: Digipack CD with 28 pages booklet (handnumbered & limited to 222 copies), Black LP, Red LP with A2 poster, Transparent red/black splatter LP with A2 poster and patch (handnumbered & limited to 100 copies)

RAVENCULT "Force Of Profanation"



“Force Of Profanation” is the title of the upcoming album by greek Black Metallers RAVENCULT. This is the band´s third full-length and will be released on November 11 through Metal Blade

“Beneath The Relics of Old” is the first advance track and the band made the following comments..."In this first sample of our new album, one can witness a big part of what Ravencult is all about in the ‘Force Of Profanation‘ era. Almost all important elements of the band’s sound here shine in their entirety, combining our adoration for the old thrash/d-beat pace with sinister black metal in a variety of tempos. Lyric-wise, ‘Beneath The Relics Of Old’ is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘At The Mountains Of Madness’, completing our vision of descending into bottomless depths of horror. For us, making steps forward means definitely not incorporating modern or more complex/technical parts; it’s all about honoring our roots and sound by maximizing aggression and morbidity each time, maintaining the riff-after-riff mentality while everything is executed with absolute determination.”
