WALPYRGUS - "Walpyrgus Nights" details revealed - First Song available
We’ve all heard the stories of legendary antics and debauchery backstage at Metal concerts – and while that is exciting to read or gossip about, very often there’s another conversation that happens back there, on the tour bus, or at a local backyard BBQ party over some beers – while you’re hanging out with fellow musicians you respect, blasting a classic Maiden, Lizzy, or Priest album – it’s almost inevitable that someone says “we should jam together sometime” and while this may be well-intentioned or naively inspired, it seldom comes to fruition. WALPYRGUS, featuring veterans of Twisted Tower Dire, While Heaven Wept, Daylight Dies, and Viper (amongst a long list of many others), is an exception.
"Walpyrgus Nights", the debut album of this supergroup of US metal, will be released on June 9th 2017 via Cruz Del Sur Musc.
A first song is available for streaming at this location: https://soundcloud.com/cruzdelsurmusic/walpyrgus-somewhere-under-summerwind/s-gSJkh
This effort gradually matured over a span of no less than five years and recorded in a variety of locations over the course of two intense years under the guidance of Tom Phillips (While Heaven Wept mastermind) was mixed by longtime collaborator Kevin “131” Gutierrez (Raven, Deceased, Believer) and features the artwork of Gustavo Sazes (Morbid Angel, Arch Enemy, Firewind).
So when the when the stars are right and you’re alone, take a journey, lock the world tight and prepare yourself for the tales of demons, spectres, and witches rising on Walpyrgus Nights!
“Walpyrgus Nights” will be available on compact disc, vinyl (featuring a 56-page comic book with lyrics!) and in digital formats.
Tracklist:
1. The Dead Of Night
2. Somewhere Under Summerwind
3. Dead Girls
4. Lauralone

EVOKE - Deal with Pulverised Records
Norwegian Thrash-menace EVOKE has signed to Pulverised Records!
Featuring members consisting of ex-Nuclear Genocide and with EVOKE frontman Kato Marchant also providing live duties for Norwegian Thrashers Condor, the band rattled the underground scene in mid-2016 with their raw and in-yer-face rehearsal four-track demo entitled "Rehellshal Demo", a completely unedited and live interpretation of EVOKE's raging and stripped down experience in the studio.
EVOKE is currently in the midst of recording their debut full-length at Toproom Studio (Borknagar, Mayhem, Enslaved, etc) with German engineer Marco Brinkmann from Hellforge Studio (Vulture, Cross Vault, Horn, etc) helming the console. Expect uncompromising Blackened Thrash Metal at breakneck speed and intensity!
In a statement by the band: "We are proud to announce that EVOKE has been signed to Pulverised Records. We’re very excited to be part of this long running label. Thanks to Calvin for believing in us and working hard on our behalf. EVOKE is currently working on a full-length album in collaboration with Hellforge Studio, it should be out before the end of the year. Things are about to get nasty!"
Pulverised Records A&R manager Calvin also commented: "It has been a long time since we have signed a Thrash band but when we heard the EVOKE demo, we instantly wanted them! They had the street sensibilities of Thrash but still very much have that primitive and go-for-broke vibe, which in our opinion, makes this form of Thrash Metal sound dangerous. EVOKE definitely nailed it in terms of their sound and attitude and we just cannot wait to hear how they will evolve on the new album."
