Total Annihilation - Mountains of Madness

Thrash/Death Metal from Basel, Switzerland

TOTAL ANNIHILATION are celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of their fourth album, “Mountains of Madness.” This album offers all the Swiss precision and characteristic elements that their fans expect from them, but also more of everything: more tempo and speed, more brutality, more power, more thrash, more death, but also more harmonies, more melodies, and more musicality! There are also more tentacles, more jaws, more razor-sharp teeth, more twisted mutations, and definitely more evil! “Mountains of Madness” is conceived as an echo and bold manifesto about the state of the world, as well as an artistic sign of our times. For those who are tired of hearing the same thing over and over again, TOTAL ANNIHILATION offers the perfect antidote with “Mountains of Madness”: simply more of everything!

Soulburn - Quantifying Cosmic Doom

Blackened Death Metal from Oldenzaal, Netherlands

With “Quantifying Cosmic Doom”, SOULBURN renew their dark pact with their loyal following: they deliver extreme and heavy metal that constantly pushes boundaries whilst remaining true to its core values of black, death and doom. Building upon a solid foundation of death metal, “Quantifying Cosmic Doom” seamlessly adds walls of melancholy carved from the bedrock of doom, and crowns massive riffs with the wild and spiritual flames of black metal. A wide musical variety, coupled with the masterful storytelling that runs like a thread through the epic songs, reveals SOULBURN as seasoned veterans who cling to their extreme craft with absolute self-assurance and passion. SOULBURN rose from the ashes of ASPHYX in 1996, when the Dutch death metal pioneers disbanded once more before eventually reuniting. Behind SOULBURN’s fifth album, “Quantifying Cosmic Doom”, lies a long journey that never followed a straight path, but instead led through many dimensions and trod hidden paths. Yet the Dutch metal extremists have undeniably reached a dark and beautiful pinnacle.
