VESEN - New album 'Rorschach' in December - Details and song stream available
Norwegian Black/Thrashers VESEN finally return with a new full-length, entitled “Rorschach”, which will be released on 16th December 2016 via Soulseller Records.
Quite uncommon for the genre, the successor of "This Time It's Personal" (2012) is a concept album and though it may sound progressive, the music is actually more regressive in a sense. But of course VESEN explore new ideas and grounds as well and head onwards in all directions at the same time, creating a unique and matured blend.
A first song, "Final Insult", is streaming now at this location: youtu.be/9dg1VDRNbN4
The band comments: "Rorschach is a concept album, certainly lyrically, less so musically. It started out as a concept spanning four albums, but through the process of working with it we found that it fit better on a single album. Overall, it deals with themes quite common in the Vesen universe, which is mental problems. Hence the name of the album, Rorschach, which is a psychological test used to test a person's potentially underlying thought disorders, used in mental health facilities. So without going into too much detail, Rorschach tells the story of a person trying to escape his/her problems, and then it builds from there, and it all ends in this final track "Final Insult"."
Tracklist:
1. Damnation Path
2. Pray for Fire
3. Target: Horizon
4. Blood, Bones and Pride
5. Screaming Sane
6. Crown of Scars
7. Vulgar, Old and Sick Blasphemy
8. All in Vain
9. Away the Tormentor
10. Final Insult

CASTLE - New video & tour dates
CASTLE have published a new videoclip from their latest album ""Welcome To The Graveyard", which was released in July via Ván Records.
'Down in the Cauldron Bog' is available at this location: youtu.be/hiO4B2l4IFU
Guitarist/vocalist Mat Davis comments "It's fitting that we're releasing the video for 'Down in the Cauldron Bog' as we kick off our European tour.. since we actually wrote it while we were here in Europe last year. It was the first track we wrote for the new album and was really the catalyst that set the mood musically. The haunted melody seemed to come from the landscape and the inspiration for the words were from a book we were reading at the time, The Bog People. That idea mushroomed into a larger concept of death and rebirth that we used throughout the album and also serves as a backdrop to the video."

RA AL DEE EXPERIENCE - New song revealed

soundcloud.com/v-n-records/ra-al-dee-experience-moses-geht-den-exodus
Ra Al Dee Experience - its name deriving from its two players: Ben Ya Min Al Dee (Percussion, Voice) and M. Dalos Ra (Guitar, Saz, Voice).

ROOT - Premiere new song "Life Of Demon"
 Legendary Czech dark metallers ROOT premiere new song "Life Of Demon" in anticipation of their upcoming album "Kärgeräs - Return From Oblivion", set to be released on November 25th via Agonia. Listen to the album's opening track at:
youtu.be/2lLvkGyaDuY
ROOT is one of the original pre-second-wave black metal bands formed in 1987 by iconic vocalist Jiri 'Big Boss' Valter. In contrast to Bathory and Venom, ROOT took the black metal genre in a more refined direction, featuring Big Boss' chartacteristic clean vocals, dark sound and an epic approach altogether. Nowadays, ROOT is often recognized as an epic heavy/black metal act, or as the band simply puts it - a dark metal band.
The new album, "Kärgeräs - Return From Oblivion", will be different from their 2011's offering, "Heritage Of Satan", says the band: "As always in our history as a band, we aim to deliver a unique album, something that will stand out and shine its own light in our discography. Expect dark metal at its best, along with some surprising elements. We've recorded one fully acoustic song and one entirely instrumental. Overall, the album will include ten new tracks that will differ from our previous records".
"Kärgeräs - Return From Oblivion" will be ROOT's tenth full-length album. Lyrically, it will be a concept album, and looked at from that perspective, it'll continue the story begun by their 1996 release under a similar yet shorter title, "Kärgeräs", that presents a tale of a pround nation.
