Grave Miasma (UK)
‘Abyss of Wrathful Deities’ is Grave Miasma’s fifth release, the latest in a 19-year
sonic exploration of the transcendental essence and nature of death.
Nine tracks of pounding, dark Death Metal await the listener, rooted in the adoration
of mysterious Tibetan burial rites and shamanic passages to other worlds. Trading a
little of the cavernous atmospheres of previous releases for the traditional Metal
currency of speed and aggression, ‘Abyss…’ still sounds immediately and inimitably
like Grave Miasma.
Preserved from the cremation pyre of a previous entity in 2006, Grave Miasma have
emanated the foulest spirits live around the world since 2003. After the release of
‘Endless Pilgrimage’ in 2016, Grave Miasma performed in Latin America, Australia,
the US, Israel, Turkey and across many European countries. During the course of
their career, Grave Miasma has featured at prestigious festivals such as Roadburn,
Kill-Town Death Fest, Maryland/ Netherlands Deathfests, Dark Mofo, Desertfest,
Beyond the Gates, Steelfest and Til Dovre Faller.
Experience the hellish descent towards otherworldly chasms through a thousand
shades of death!
Sijjin (Ger)
From beyond the gates of perception, the new power trio of Sijjin arrives on the
scene. Deeply rooted in the 80ties, where Death and Thrash Metal melted into a
furious, fast and occult brand, Sijjin`s music is as raving as this music should be.
The lineup of Sijjin consists of old veterans as Malte Gericke (Bass & Vocals) and
Ivan Hernandez (Drums) are both being known for their work in Necros Christos,
while guitar wizard Ekaitz Garmendia hailing from Basque Thrashers Legen Beltza
among others.
The first demo entitled Angel Of The Eastern Gate was unleashed in 2019, officially
distributed by Sepulchral Voice Records on tape. A re-release on CD and vinyl will
follow soon. In 2021 their debut full-length Summerian Promises was released to
worldwide acclaim.
Behold, as this is Death Metal.
Feel your mind being shifted into a black void of utter chaos, where primaeval atoms
still roam in bizarre ways, a region of horrible contortions, where amorphous entities
lurk in the towering shadows.
There's one name, one entity and one aural destruction for all of that.
Hell is Sijjin.
Sijjin is in Hell.
DIE!
Teratoma (Ger)
Teratoma was summoned in early 2020 by 5 friends from four different countries - boasting with a diverse musical background - who all met in Berlin's underbelly and decided to play their own version of filthy and crushing death metal. After the first year crafting material that came to be the band's debut album, they self recorded those songs during 2021. Early on 2022, 'Purulent Manifestations' was released via Transylvanian Recordings in the USA and by Avantgarde Music (as Unorthodox Emanations) and Desiccated Productions in Europe, receiving great accolades of reviews across the globe. The first live appearances followed with hefty performances alongside the likes of Convulse and Hyperdontia. The album is virtually sold out at this point, only a couple of months after its initial release.
Teratoma is currently working on new songs and ready to hit the road this summer with Carnal Tomb for a sinister trek over Europe spreading the band's unique blend of bludgeoning death metal forth.
