Terry Butler (bass, OBITUARY, INHUMAN CONDITION), Rick Rozz (guitar, ex – MASSACRE), Matt Harvey (vocals / guitar, GRUESOME, EXHUMED) and Gus Rios (drums, ex – MALEVOLENT CREATION) have joined forces in a new band that goes by the name LEFT TO DIE. They are currently writing an EP and planning a summer US tour, performing the classic DEATH “Leprosy” album in its entirety, along with cuts from “Scream Bloody Gore”. Terry Butler commented the LEFT TO DIE origin as follows: “After the recent Chuck Tribute shows that Matt, Gus and myself did, Rick posed the question “Would anyone would want to see some “Leprosy” shows?” With a resounding “yes!” the masses had spoken. Matt and Gus threw their hats in immediately and in my opinion they were the only real choice to bring this thing to life!! LEFT TO DIE coming your way soon!!” Rick Rozz added: “It’s going to be an absolute honor and pleasure to play these 34+ year-old songs on stage with Terry after all these years, along with the talents of Matt and Gus – it’s gonna be brutal!” Matt Harvey reflected: “When Gus and I started GRUESOME as a DEATH tribute, we never thought that it would lead to us playing some of our favorite songs alongside the guys that recorded them, but here we are – and I couldn’t be more stoked!” Gus Rios issued the following additional comments: “When Rick contacted me about his idea I was immediately on board, since “Leprosy” is not only my favorite DEATH album, but my favorite Death Metal album of all time! I’m very grateful and stoked that Terry and Matt were also on board – the Metal will flow this summer!” More LEFT TO DIE info you will find at www.facebook.com/lefttodiedeathmetal

It features one brand new track (the EP’s title track) and a cover of AMORPHIS’ ‘Pilgrimage From The Darkness’. A full EP stream is available at this location. ESCARNIUM guitarist / vocalist Victor Elian commented on it as follows: “The riffs for this song were written by me between 2016 and 2017 and Nestor Carrera (ESCARNIUM, ROTBORN) worked his magic on the drums from Brazil. Since we were not able to release any material in 2020 as mentioned above, we figured it would be nice to release a single (or a EP in this case) to ‘break the ice’ and re-introduce ourselves to the world. I actually like this song very much. It shows a slightly different face of ESCARNIUM, with a denser atmosphere and more cadenced tempo. I think it illustrates an evolution and maturity of the band. Its lyrics have a very personal meaning to me and refers to depression and some other personal subjects, as well as the current world state of pandemic chaos. It was the first song I wrote after a deep and long period of depression, so it is very sincere and has a really heavy meaning to me.” For regular updates make sure to follow ESCARNIUM at www.facebook.com/escarnium

Switzerland’s Death / Thrashers MESSIAH have added two new members to their line-up. Here’s the band’s official statement: “MESSIAH will start their 4th era in 2022. After the successful reunion in 2018 in the original 1990s Noise line-up, with various international live shows and the new album “Fracmont” in 2020, we have to reorient ourselves. Shouter Andy Kaina has decided not to continue musically and has left the band. We had to accept that, but we remain best friends privately. After a successful session we found a new singer at the end of 2021; Marcus Seebach from Chur, Switzerland (MASQUERADE, TASTE OF TEARS). The chemistry fit right away and we are looking forward to an exciting future together. Since 2021 V.O. Pulver (GURD, POLTERGEIST, PULVER) supports us live on stage on the second guitar. V.O. is the producer of our album “Fracmont” which was recorded in his Little Creek Studio, Switzerland. Already in 1987 he played some live gigs with MESSIAH. In addition to more live shows, a new MLP is planned, to be released via High Roller Records in 2022.” For regular updates you can follow MESSIAH at www.facebook.com/messiahthrashingmadness

Reunited Swedish Black Metal trio RIMFROST has just released a new two-track EP that depicts the story of a killer. ‘Killer Instinct’, the first of the two tracks (but the final one from the tale), was already released in October 2021. Now, the band has released both tracks as “The Rise Of Evil: Killer Instinct”. Here’s what RIMFROST had to say about it: “When we started to write music for the comeback, we really didn’t know what we wanted to write about, but we quickly felt that we wanted and that we should continue on the horror path from “Expedition: Darkness” since we all are huge horror fans, especially, we all share some extra love for 70s-80s slasher / zombie horror. After some discussions back and forth, we decided to create our own storyline that runs over 2 singles with our own made-up killer with inspiration from Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, Leatherface, and all those classic killers. The story starts with ‘The Rise Of Evil’ (to be released later) and ends with ‘Killer Instinct.’ It all ended up as “The Rise Of Evil: Killer Instinct”, and we are very happy and proud of how it all turned out!” A full stream of the EP is available at this location.
