The Week In Metal - Week Of July 22 - 28, 2019

In the middle of last week, after 18 years of black layouts and designs, MetalBite has came out from the shadows and revealed the new, simple and clean design that hopefully will stand the test of time and serve the metal community for years to come. The driving force behind those changes was the way we access information, where in 2018 over 52 percent of all website traffic worldwide was generated just through mobile devices. Unfortunately, our old portal was not developed with responsive design in mind, hell, when we started there was no YouTube, BandCamp, Facebook or even MySpace. Shit, I just made myself very old! Obviously, this should have been done a lot sooner and while list of excuses is long, the main factor is free time. This always was and always will be a hobby and when you're one-man crew doing design, coding and testing things take time, a lot of time. Thankfully I have few dedicated writers that help me with content and day-to-day interactions with bands, labels and promoters, otherwise this would take a couple additional years to complete.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new look, so hit play on any track below on your favorite mobile or desktop device and let me know of any issues. And while I still believe I got it right the first time ;), I might have missed something since I couldn't possibly test all platforms and browser version.

The Week In Metal - Week Of Aug 19 - 25, 2019

Judging by increased number of releases, summer must be doing its final lap (except here in Florida of course) and we're back to +- 30-40 releases on any given week. Some bands were so eager to get back to work after vacations that one released its brand new album in over 20 years (Sacred Reich), another one had too much ideas laying around and went for a double with full-length and EP on very same day (Bryan Eckermann), and a horde of black metal artists did everything in their powers to rip apart your final shiny summer days with their tormented visions of eternal darkness.
Obviously there's a lot more sprinkled sulfur in between so, hit play and indulge the stench of wailing creatures rooming the halls of the underground but in case I missed something (and I surely did) I hope in a comment section below you can point me into the records I overlooked or bands to keep an eye on.

MB Premiere: NECROCHAOS - 'Mortal Angels Descent' full album stream

Hailing from Germany, NECROCHAOS is one of the many musical faces of Eugene, the man behind such names as Sinister Downfall, Donarhall and Hexengrab (to mention just a few). This particular death metal project began in 2018 and the following year released the first demo entitled Crawling Through Cadavers", which received many positive reviews (including ours here). Now we proudly present the debut full-length album, which will be released on June 14th, called Mortal Angels Descent" and will be available on CD, cassette and Digital formats via Godz ov War Productions.

"Mortal Angels Descent" lasts thirty-five minutes and contains six compositions. NECROCHAOS is a project that, from the very beginning, skilfully combines crushing, dominant, powerful vocals with death metal, where technique and rhythm matter. It is no different on the first full-length release. Expressive, sharp and powerful riffs are covered with a wave of vocal weight. Those riffs, brutal and powerful, are the bloodstream of "Mortal Angels Descent".
The album was recorded at Misanthropic Studios. Mixed and mastered by Eugen Kohl. Cover art by Dunkle Stille. Logo design and layout by Eugen Kohl.
NECROCHAOS is:
Eugene - everything
