Ketzer - neuer Song online

Am 12. April werden Ketzer ihre vierte Langspielplatte „Cloud Collider“ via Metal Blade Records veröffentlichen. An dieser Stelle gibt es den zweiten neuen Track "The Wind Brings Them Horses" auf die Ohren.

Die Band kommentiert: “Lately, we have been possessed by storms. First there is a breeze, then the sky darkens: A sense of electric energy starts to fill the air. A sense of sheer power, building up, waiting to erupt. ‘Cloud Collider‘ will strike you like a force of nature. When recording an album after months of hard work, blood and sweat, it is always our greatest wish, accompanied by the most terrifying fears, that the recordings will be able to “catch“ the songs and their certain, special spark. When we hear the final result for the first time, we have to think: “THIS is how the next chapter must sound“. Only then, we can be satisfied. With all the more pride and joy we can now say about ‘Cloud Collider‘, that both is the case, and it is without a single doubt! THIS is how KETZER has to sound in 2019! It is new and it is old and it is everything. It is fast and it is slow and we just can’t wait to bring these songs to the stage. This album is a piece of work that we feel embodies all aspects that stand and stood for the sound of KETZER now and then. An album that manages to still go one step further to form something new!“

Helheim - neuer Song online

Am 26. April werden die Norweger Helheim ihre neue Scheibe „Rignir“ via Dark Essence Records veröffentlichen. Als weiteren Vorgeschmack auf kommende Taten gibt es auf der Homepage vom RockHard den neuen Track "Haldr" auf die Ohren. Nach der Veröffentlichung des Albums geht es unter dem Banner Strange Rain mit Vulture Industries und Madder Mortem auf Tour.

Die Band kommentiert: "This time around we have been very inspired by the local weather of Bergen. The autumn and winter seasons can summon the darkest of feelings within oneself, and this backdrop served as the fertilizer that would germinate the seeds of our lyrical ideas. Exploring the darkness of nature as something that can be seen, as well as sensed, it became a canvas where the pen drew words that rose from the depths of solemnity and alienation. Although each track depicts an ever growing intensity of suffering and loss, there’s still a dialogue on how to maintain some sort of sanity or inner peace."
