THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION - New Album Announcement - 'Memoirs Of A Rat Queen'
 Australian psychedelic rock and roll occultists THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION have completed the recording sessions for their forthcoming fourth full-length, “Memoirs Of A Rat Queen”. The album, tracked by bassist Jaytanic Ritual and The Pet Food Factory in Marrkville, Sydney, will be the band’s first for Cruz Del Sur Music and will see the light of day this September.
“It took a while longer than we originally anticipated, which is what we should have expected,” says guitarist Inverted CruciFox. “We try to include a lot of small details that reward headphone-wearing listeners who use our records to travel to alternate dimensions. There has to be enough fuel to accommodate their journey.”
Accordingly, the band’s blend of progressive, metal and space rock will be on full display on their new album, sure to please followers of the band. “It feels a bit different, yet a natural progression, which was the aim,” says CruciFox. “I feel like we have paid our sonic respects to QUEEN, MOTÖRHEAD, T-REX and many others.”
Since The Pet Food Factory is run by Ritual, there is a certain sense of familiarity with the studio’s confines. CruciFox says that other underground acts in Sydney often benefit from “residual magicks leftover by [vocalist] The Imperial Priestesses’ occasional presence there.” Therefore, it is little surprise the rest of THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION takes cues from their imitable frontwoman.
“There are few specific recollections of the process,” notes CruciFox. “We simply present at the studio and swiftly fall under the thrall of the Imperial Priestess who conducts the music through us via mind control. There is a feeling of disorientation and euphoria followed by shock that 12 months has passed and the album is complete.”
With “Memoirs Of A Rat Queen” now in the bag, all CruciFox and his THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION bandmates can do is bide their time until it’s unleashed upon the unwitting metal masses. “We are awaiting the response of the ancient ones — a centuries-old council of mystic faeries who determine which of the new songs shall be added to the set. It’s an unconventional approach, but we stand by our methods.”

RIPPED TO SHREDS - 'Demon Scriptures' EP - New Song revealed
Californian buzzsaw assailant RIPPED TO SHREDS follows up with a new EP after the highly acclaimed debut full-length last year!
"魔經 - Demon Scriptures" will be released on June 14th 2019 via Pulverised Records and sees the band morphing into a more vicious HM-2 machine while purposefully weaving Chinese horror & folklore tales with a fresh retrospective.
A second new track, entitled "Nine Familial Exterminations", is available for streaming now at this location: https://pulverised.bandcamp.com/album/demon-scriptures
Mastermind Andrew Lee states: "In ancient China, the capital punishment for treason in which any family related to the offender, grandparents, grandchildren, inlaws, aunts and uncles, were all executed along with him. 'Nine Familial Exterminations' attempts to musically reproduce this cruel tyranny through ripping deathrash and grindcore."
The EP was produced at Subterranean Watchtower by Damian Herring (Horrendous, Blood Incantation, Sentient Horror, etc) and is garnished by a grotesquely spellbinding artwork from Velio Josto. The drums were performed by Kevin Paradis, known from his work with bands such as Benighted, Svart Crown, Melechesh or Shining, to name a few.
Tracklist:
1. 喪家 (In Mourning)
2. 江湖郎中 (Pseudoelixir)
3. 株九族 (Nine Familial Exterminations)
4. 日月神教第一節 (Sun Moon Holy Cult Part 1)

THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION - Deal with Curz Del Sur Music - New Album in September
 Cruz Del Sur Music is proud to announce the signing of Australian psychedelic rock and roll occultists THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION. The label will release the band’s next full-length, “Memoirs Of A Rat Queen”, this September.
THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION and Cruz Del Sur Music decided to join forces after the band's triumphant appearance at the 2018 installment of the Hell Over Hammaburg festival in Hamburg, Germany. Cruz Del Sur owner Enrico met the band backstage and subsequently offered them a deal. “It’s a pretty cool way of getting signed,” says guitarist Inverted CruciFox. “I didn’t think things like that happened nowadays, but it keeps with our retro aesthetic.”
Enrico adds: “I was first introduced to NPF over a year ago and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see them live at Hell Over Hammaburg last March. I must say that their show was way beyond my best expectations, their energy and vibes were something I hadn’t witnessed live for a long time. Something significant happened: I went in the backstage to give my support to Sanhedrin before their show and NPF were getting off stage. When the doors opened and they stepped into the backstage a spontaneous applause rose in the small room. For me that was a sign that the band really gave everything on stage and was able to touch the audience really deeply. Seeing NPF live was an intense, overwhelming experience that I will always carry in my heart.”
On “Memoirs Of A Rat Queen”, THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION plans to further convey the narrative which has woven their previous albums together — an intergalactic tale of time travel. “Currently we are attempting to convey the story of the Imperial Priestess's time travelling existence on earth and the various lives she has lived through human history. Occasionally we touch on her mortal enemy, the Wizzard King and his never-ending attempts to defeat her.”
“Memoirs Of A Rat Queen” is currently being mixed, after which, the band will be playing several Australian festivals. Once the album is out, it will be accompanied with a handful of new music videos.
"We are very excited about increasing the reach of THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION church internationally - like rock and roll missionaries,” closes Inverted CruciFox. “Perhaps we will become like Scientology only with more guitars, battle jackets and drinking."
