The song is taken from their upcoming sixth full-length “World Domination”, which will be out on October 23, 2020 via Agonia Records. The album marks the debut of vocalist Christofer Sätderdal and the return of original drummer Ronnie Bergerstål. DEMONICAL commented on the album as follows: “So here we have it, “World Domination”, our sixth full-length album and the first one to feature new vocalist Christofer Sätderdal and new-old drummer Ronnie Bergerstål. “World Domination” continues the same path as our previous “Chaos Manifesto” slap, in other words, fierce HM-2 driven Swedish Death Metal, a ravage combination of brutality, melody and darkness. As always on every album, even this time we tried out some new traces and elements we haven’t explored before and have to say that we are stoked about the final outcome. When it comes to the production, this is clearly our most dynamic and vivid album so far. Not only did we use a different way of recording everything, we went also for a much more energetic and breathing sound closer to how albums were produced in the late 80s and early 90s. “World Domination” was recorded at a few different studios around Sweden, then mixed and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén – a victorious collaboration we started with on our previous album.” More about DEMONICAL at www.facebook.com/demonicalofficial

Italy’s Post Black Metallers DEADLY CARNAGE are currently working on their fifth full-length album (the follow-up to 2018’s “Through The Void, Above The Suns”), which will be a concept album. According to a press release “the band will explore the Ocean depths to discover the sea spirits of Japanese folklore. Yokai and Oni (precisely spirits and demons of the Land of the Rising Sun) will make their appearance in a story that wants to probe the most ancestral and mysterious aspects of the Oceans.” Bass player Adres issued the following additional comments about it: “For us the sound arts and the visual arts are inextricably linked, so this time, looking towards distant shores, it all began with two ancient Japanese paintings: “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” and “Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre”. On the one hand the ancestral fury of the sea, and on the other the folklore of the Land of the Rising Sun with its spirits, demons and ghosts. Our new concept album will be a journey into the ocean depths to discover the Japanese spirits of the sea; a primordial story, a dark world populated by demons and ghosts, lights and shadows. We spent months and months researching and studying the culture of spirits in ancient Japan and inserting all this atmosphere into our music. Our work on the new album continues, soon we will give more details.” For more information and regular updates please follow DEADLY CARNAGE at www.facebook.com/deadlycarnage

The band issued the following statement: “We are very thrilled to present our second full-length, “Unveiling The Threshold”, which holds the most brutal and in-your-face material composed by SKELETHAL to this day. On this second album, we were able to develop our Death Metal in a more efficient way, incorporating a second soloist, faster relentless drums, and allowing the songs to reach the ferocious grounds of early Grindcore while still in the realm of Swedish Death Metal. Overall, the songwriting process has been more personal and included a greater number of influences. Actual OSDM thrives worldwide with a very unique sound, behind which we can often find Greg Wilkinson from Earhammer Studios (UNDERGANG, NECROT, MORTUOUS). This is the reason why we wanted SKELETHAL to collaborate with him for the mixing and mastering of the album. This, in addition to a new recording process and a still-fresh line-up, enabled us to achieve the heaviest sound we ever had – deep vocals, chainsaw-buzzing guitars, a crushing bass, and an explosive snare drum. The production might be cleaner than our previous releases, but still has its important share of filth and aggressiveness that defines death metal to its core. Finally, we asked the talented Eliran Kantor to bring “Unveiling The Threshold” to life throughout hisvery singular and remarkable paintng. The final result fits perfectly the identity of the band and the album, where monoliths rise from the sea and portals open up to a tormented sky.” For more band information please visit SKELETHAL at www.facebook.com/skelethal

We’ve been hard at work ever since lock-down started, crafting new songs and exploring new ways to expand and hone our signature sound. Never a band to write the same album twice, our debut for Relapse will both be familiar and new all at the same time. Echoes of the past will meet with glimpses into the future.
