Spain’s leading thrash metal band ANGELUS APATRIDA have released their second single and music video for “Indoctrinate.” Watch the music video created by Fernando Morales/Micoco Graphics, HERE. The track is off the band’s forthcoming self-titled album, which is set for release on February 5^th via Century Media Records.

“When your new album is written and recorded during a global pandemic, you might expect some side effects on it. “Indoctrinate” is the opening track of ‘Angelus Apatrida’ and it’s probably the angriest song we ever composed! It reflects a mix of all feelings experienced throughout this past year and also how people were being radicalized via stupid extremist populism within society...

Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Colombia are apparently seeking some of the people photographed during the riot at the Capitol building yesterday for “unrest-related offenses.” That would seemingly include ICED EARTH mastermind Jon Schaffer, who was allegedly featured in a photograph capturing a portion of the melee.

The Department has distributed a slide show with a series of photographs of individuals they’d like to identify. Among the slides is the purported photo of Schaffer, whom the Department accuse of “unlawful entry.” You can have a look at the slide in question below.

The police are offering a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and indictment of any of the individuals they accuse of illegal activity.

The Assassination of A Man: Scott Weiland, The CIA & 666 (Part 2)

by Randy “Rocket” Cody

In part 1 of this 3 part report, I detailed how I believe Scott Weiland was murdered by the CIA, and now I will reveal who I believe killed the late rock idol.

In his own memoir, Scott revealed to NY Daily News in 2011 his first experience with heroin that happened during a U.S. tour in the ’90s, after upon arriving in Manhattan, “a few of the musicians had put in their orders for bags of China White.”

According to Scott, he “couldn’t see himself passing up the delicacies that came with being a rock star,” and so he snorted his very first ...

Symphonic metal discovery KING BAAL launched the official video to “Let’s Murder Together”, track taken from their upcoming album “Conjurements” due for release on 29 01 2021 via Wormholedeath.

“Somewhere between Doom, Symphonic and pure Heavy Metal, King Baal hail from Portugal with a very personal approach to metal, blending powerful and intense patterns with occasional dreamy musical landscapes.”

About “Let’s Murder Together”“Uniting through blood and complicity symbolizes how deep passion and devotion can be. And this song is all about love. Through the idea of murdering together we want to express love and devotion in its deepest nature.”  KING BAAL

Cuban black metal act MEPHISTO have left their sign in the Cuban metal scene with their unique style and sound and now they are back once again to announce their new album “Pentafixion”, that will be released via Wormholedeath Record. While waiting for the full length album , the band will unleash their first self-titled single “Pentafixion”.

On behalf of all members of Mephisto we wish to announce that we have been offered a contract with the long established and well respected Italian label WormHoleDeath Records.

It is our pleasure to announce that after some discussion, Mephisto have accepted the offer and now enthusiastically join the label. We can’t wait to start working with the team at WormHoleDeath after following their label and their artists for many years...

Hailing from France, thrash death metal combo TREYHARSH are happy to announce that they have signed a deal with Wormholedeath for the release of their new studio album “ETERNAL CYCLES”.

“Pity is the most pleasant feeling among those who are little proud and have no-hope of a great conquest” (Nietzsche), the main lines which characterize our philosophy.

We are four guys, from around Lille in the north of France, who came together to form TREYHARSH in 2011. The heavy, brutal and cold atmospheres strongly inspired us to create our own universe, from our compositions to our image, without getting too inked in a category of style. Out of this mix of inspirations will be born trash and death metal compositions...

CHILDREN OF BODOM co-founder and ex-frontman Alexi Laiho passed away last week at the age of 41. A cause of death has not been disclosed, though Laiho had purportedly been suffering from “long term health issues.”

A statement from Bodom After Midnight, the group Laiho founded after departing Children Of Bodom in 2019, reads as follows:

“It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we have to announce the passing of Alexi Laiho. We are absolutely devastated and heartbroken for the sudden loss of our dear friend and band member. Our journey together as a band had only just begun so there’s no words to describe the shock and the bottomless grief that all of us feel.

“May your soul rest in peace, you will be eternally missed. We love you brother.

“Our deepest condolences go ...

Orchestral death metal purveyors FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are ringing in 2021 with a sinister symphonic cover of fellow Italian group Eiffel 65’s 1998 hit single “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” Their new version of the song, dubbed “Blue (Turns To Red),” is accompanied by a lyric video that can be viewed above.

Commenting on the cover, Fleshgod Apocalypse frontman Francesco Paoli states: “After the amazing response over our latest single ‘No’, we wanted to release something that could make the end of this shitty 2020 a bit funnier for everyone. That’s why we took a popular dance track from the 90s and made it the heaviest, angriest, bloodiest party song ever. We’re ready to blast your ears again in 2021, stay tuned!”

“Dear Scott, Let us start by saying thank you for sharing your life with us. Together we crafted a legacy of music that has given so many people happiness and great memories. The memories are many, and they run deep for us. We know amidst the good and the bad you struggled, time and time again. It’s what made you who you were. You were gifted beyond words, Scott. Part of that gift was part of your curse. With deep sorrow for you and your family, we are saddened to see you go. All of our love and respect. We will miss you brother, Robert, Eric, Dean.”
