PROCESS OF GUILT @ ROADBURN 2013

It's with great joy we announce our lovely doomers from PROCESS OF GUILT on stage at ROADBURN FESTIVAL 2013.

From the Festival website:
"We are very pleased to bring Portugal’s Process of Guilt to the 2013 Roadburn Festival on Saturday, April 20 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. After toiling for a decade as a beloved underground band on a local label in a relatively remote country, their latest album Fæmin (Bleak Recordings / Division Records) is earning them accolades the world over.

Musically, Process of Guilt offers a massive wall of guitar sound, intricate drumming and commanding vocals. The band’s sound is distilled from the same wellspring that fed Godflesh, which makes the timing of their Roadburn festival debut even more exquisite. The ferocious mid-tempo stomp verges upon industrial with undeniable hardcore influences, yet the band has been evolving long enough to avoid turning into a Neurosis clone. The riffs build up in such a colossal manner that we foresee a paroxysm of headbanging as soon as they hit the stage."

KEHLVIN - THE ORCHARD OF FORKING PATHS

KEHLVIN's long awaited new album is out and available for order!!

With this new album we find the band giving birth to its most solid & devastating record so far. Taking distance with their previous love for long instrumental parts and reveling a major propensity to let distortion talk, the band explores a whole bunch of new directions through a more extreme riffing and a sense of melody unseen so far, all of this brilliantly displayed in savage songs.
Still focused on high quality writing, KEHLVIN knows how to develop intriguing melodies without losing any dynamic. Powerful but sensible, THE ORCHARD OF FORKING PATHS is nothing less than a mind blowing new step in the band carrier, taking sludgin’prog-hardcore to the next level of beauty and intensity.

We will be putting out also a merch stand where you can get all our releases and back catalogue.
Here is Facebook event link.

Be prepared to receive a massive slap in the face with "HALF THE SKY"!

YOG - HALF THE SKY

To finish correcly this year and to totaly destroy what is left of your eardrums after walls of riffs from the Uncles of heavyness DIRGE, thermo nuclear blasts from LOST SPHERE PROJECT and the tortured sludgy new release from swiss super heros from UNFOLD, we present you HALF THE SKY from the other grind terrorists from our roster YOG.

Formed back in early 2000, YOG are THE grind-hardcore combo from Neuch√¢tel (Switzerland). Mostly influenced by bands like Sick of it All, Disrupt and Napalm Death in the early days, their sound has then turned into a more deranged mixture, after a brainwash by the Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, Pig Destroyer, Converge and other extreme combos of the modern hardcore scene.

Extreme virulence, sick blast beats, mentally ill math-grind, YOG is for the Swiss scene what the panzer was for battlefields: a pure war machine.
After the release of their savage 1st album entitled YEARS OF NOWHERE, the Swiss bastards have destroyed a lot of stages across Europe with bands like Today is the Day, Genghis Tron, Gojira, Knut, Burnt By the Sun‚...!

Keeping the will to dive beyond the fury and velocity limits, the band has just given birth to a new monster, HALF THE SKY.
Recorded by Jérôme Pellegrini at studio du Terrier and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side studio YOG's new album is proudly going to make a lot of ears bleed to death.
This time the band have pushed the boundaries ways further. Of course, technicality, velocity and extreme aggression are still parts of the game, but on HALF THE SKY the band develops a new hysterico-melodic approach completely unseen so far. Back to a more rough sound, the one which forged the band's identity on their first two eps, HALF THE SKY is nothing less than a war machine fueled by psychotic math-grind and virulent hardcore punk.

This is where we say Goodbye!
With this release; You Will Die!!

RORCAL - IBERIC DOOM TOUR 2011

RORCAL are hitting the road again!

To celebrate their new collaborative release with SOLAR FLARE (solo doom project from the bass player of Impure Wilhelmina), both bands will touring in France, Spain & Portugal.

Words from the band:
"For this work, we locked ourselves for 3 days in a humid basement (our practice room actually) to write and record a collaborative track sounding as heavy as it could be with 2 basses, 3 guitars, and supported by drums and vocals from the Mordor.

As concept and guideline, we found inspiration in the poem “La Ronde sous la Cloche”, taken from the book “Gaspard de la Nuit” and written by the french poet Aloysius Bertrand. Although the legend says that this book was probably written by the devil himself… His text drags you into a world between nightmare, hallucination and darkness which we tried to reproduce musicaly.
The release will be presented in a handmade digifile CDr format limited to 200 handnumbered copies and will feature tracks from SOLAR FLARE and the collaborative song. We’ll be releasing it by our own through CALOFROR Records and it will be available through our webstore."

UNFOLD RETURNS

One member of the Holy Swiss Trinity is back from the dead. No, it can’t be the Father, as the mighty Knut is alive and well. And no, it can’t be the Holy Spirit, as Nostromo is dead and buried for good. No, the only one who had a chance to come back was the Son, and so he is arriving, resurrected directly from the kingdom of Lucifer; UNFOLD is his sacred name.

Formed back in 1995, the band spent some years building its proper style in a mix of incredible metal heaviness and massive hardcore slowness, this all twisted by a deep sense of how melodies are supposed to sounds in hell. They soon became a European reference in the field of tortured and emotional hardcore (later known and popularized under the label ‘post-hardcore’). They were better, louder and crazier than a whole bunch of bands, back then. But sadly enough, after two gigantic albums, Pure (2000) followed by Aeon/Aony (2003) and a lot of destructive live performances, the band decided to close the chapter in 2004. Too bad. The mourning was hard, as no one would ever take their place in our hearts.

But forget it all now, the mourning is over, as the Holy Son walks among us again! And He is not just back, he brings with him a brand new album to be released in cd/lp this fall.
Skull crushing avant-garde metal, oppressive but distinctive, heavy but smart. The new songs might cut your head off. Without notice.

Stay tuned and celebrate the return of the godfathers of heaviness. Hail Satan.

First live show to be announced soon

Remember...
