Founding vocalist/bassist Jeff Walker comments: “The gift that keeps on giving, if you want it or not. Please try not to stare this gift horse too hard in the mouth….another song from the forthcoming EP taken from the new album recording session…..don’t worry there are still unreleased songs with even dafter titles!”

Brazilian metal legends SEPULTURA have unleashed their “environmentally conscious” music video for the cut “Guardians of Earth” in collaboration with Amazon Frontlines.

Amazon Frontlines is a non-profit organization based in the Upper Amazon that leverages technology, legal advocacy, and movement building to support indigenous peoples to defend their rights to land, life, and cultural survival in the Amazon Rainforest.

The lyrics of the song were inspired when Derrick Green came across the Instagram page of Amazon Frontlines: “The images of the fight and struggle of various Indigenous tribes, whose existence is under threat as they defend one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems, were very touching and upsetting...

British thrash metal band EVILE has signed a worldwide contract with Napalm Records. The group will enter the studio this week with Chris Clancy (of Mutiny Within) to begin tracking their follow-up to 2013’s Skull.

Frontman Ol Drake comments: “We’re extremely excited to announce our signing to Napalm Records! We’d heard a lot of great things about Napalm over the years and it’s an honor to join the ranks of some excellent bands. Evile haven’t released any music since 2013 so we promise to deliver a crushing thrash metal classic which I believe will surprise everyone; even the die-hard ‘Grave’ fans. As previously announced, Matt is unfortunately no longer a part of the band, so I’ve taken over on vocal duties while remaining on lead guitar too...

Extreme metal purveyors CRADLE OF FILTH have reportedly finished the recording process for their new album and follow-up to Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness of Decay (2017).

Speaking to Knotfest.com, vocalist Dani Filth had the following to say about the proceedings:

“We’ve literally just finished recording an album, which we’ve had quite a long time to do, to be honest. We were very fortunate that Martin [‘Marthus’ Škaroupka] came in to do drums just before lockdown, and since then, everyone’s just been chipping in in bits. I’ve had the longest, as I live close to the studio, but it means we’ve been able to revisit songs, amend things, try loads of different ideas...

Flávio Kebras is a Portuguese guitarist born in the 90s who started his dedication to music in 1998. As he felt different from all other children, he started to focus his energies and intelligence in self-taught guitar learning.

“KEBRAS” as it is popularly known, got his name in the adolescence after nights of partying and drinking with friends who were rare, because even in its most fun phase of life he traded the favorite diversions of that age for the tireless hours with his guitar.
