South German progressive death metallers from VIROCRACY have released first video clip for 'Incarnation' from upcoming debut album "Irradiation" out via Black Sunset / MDD on March 20th, 2020. "Irradiation" was mixed and mastered by Christoph Brandes at Iguana Studios (Necrophagist, Deadborn, Pessimist) and video was filmed and produced by David Bayer in collaboration with Iltis Production / David Alix.

Two years after releasing "The Shadowed Road", epic and atmospheric black metal unit SOJOURNER are back with third album, titled "Premonitions", that is due on May 8th, 2020 via Napalm Records. Described as band's most personal album to date, due to overcoming extreme adversity in members personal lives, SOJOURNER offers a first glance at the upcoming release with a new video for the track 'The Deluge'.

Emilio Crespo states: "'The Deluge' represents the personal journeys that the members of SOJOURNER have endured for the past year. A deluge/flood is a devastating event that leaves a trail of destruction in its wake and this is encapsulated in the melancholic lyrics, hard rhythm and blistering leads of the track. We felt that “The Deluge” sets a darker tone and pace for the new album and therefore it was our first choice for the leading single of the new album, Premonitions. Due to the fact we are an international band spanning the globe, we decided to emphasize this in our first video by not pursuing one particular style, but telling the story of all the members coming together from their separate paths while mixing in stylized band shots which were all expertly shot and edited by the talented Oliver König."

Swedish heavy metal masters WOLF strike back with the video for a title track of their eighth studio album "Feeding The Machine", scheduled for international release on March 13th, 2020 via Century Media Records. The video was directed by Daniel Wahlström from Heavy Groove Media.

Norwegian progressive metal act GREEN CARNATION have premiered the first single and music video for title track, "Leaves of Yesteryear". The video was made by Costin Chioreanu, and the new album is set for worldwide released on May 8th via Season of Mist.

Founding member and guitarist Tchort comments: "We are super-excited to finally release new music and our first-time-ever music video. Costin did a great job to interpret the moods and lyrics of the song. We think the viewers will find new meanings in the visual side of the song and discover new elements for each time they see it. Enjoy!"

SCORDATURA present their third full length album "Mass Failure". Prepare yourselves for unadulterated carnage and the insatiable eruption of violence. Nine songs of frantic, deranged death metal, seething with rage, like an inexorable river of molten lava consuming all in its path and turning flesh to ash with a touch. The precision riffs deftly dissect while the drums are a wild barrage of brutality beneath and the inhuman vocals vomit out tales of destruction and proclamations of the end.

Combining old school muscle and song craft with an intensity of execution to rival the heaviest of today's exponents of ultra brutality. On September 25th Gore House Productions will unleash the killing machine that is "Mass Failure" and SCORDATURA will commence their assault on the upper echelons of the death metal hierarchy.

To start our conversation on a positive note I'd like to say that your album kicks major ass!!!, how's everything going?

Thanks very much! We've put a lot of effort into this one and it's great seeing people really enjoy it so far! Yeah! everything is going as good as it could be over here, considering the circumstances.

Summer is almost done but the heat index around the world is still beating all kinds of records, how was summer over there, is Scotland hot this time of the year?

To be honest summer was pretty warm for a Scottish summer, not that we could do much though haha!

Let's move on to the music. Let me ask you this, do you think that you're going to surprise people with the new material?

I hope so, we haven't gone crazy and tried to reinvent our sound, just worked and crafted more into our sound with a couple of different elements!

Is the new album sound and visual side what you imagined it would be?

We love how the artwork turned out, I think it's something a little different to the norm and as far as the sound of the album goes, I don't think we've put as much effort into an album the way we have this time and we are more than happy with the results!

What did you set out to achieve and could you describe the experience crafting the record?

We wanted an intense, fast and groovy album and I think we've done a pretty good job of that! We used the best elements from out last album "Self-Created Abyss" and made that our foundations and everyone pitched in their best ideas once we had a rough direction

Album sounds and looks really good, so congrats on a job well done. Are you guys working together on everything or is there a leader/dictator that decides on everything?

Thanks very much, we appreciate it. This is the first album that everyone has worked this close together on achieving the goal. I really think that made the writing process a lot easier, especially when we all had rough ideas for each other's instruments. Most definitely something we are going to keep doing from now on.

If you had to single out one thing that worked out best for the album and one thing that sucked ass, what would it be?

I think the best part about the album was we got a great blend of intensity, brutality and groove part down pretty well! The worst part was probably tracking track 6 'The Flesh That Hates'. I'm sure that track could break even some of the most experienced players haha

In your opinion, which song from the new album is the best representation of Scordatura and the new album?

It's a tough one but probably the opening track 'Disease Of Mind', straight to the point, there is no bullshit with that track.

Do you play to build or to destroy? Thanks a lot for taking time to answer all the questions, the last word is yours.

We always play to destroy! Thanks for the interview and we hope you all enjoy "Mass Failure". It will be released on the 25th of September via Gore House Productions!
