Meursault Omega – Cold Thirst

FFO: Celtic Frost, Rammstein, Sonic Youth

Meursault Omega is a project devised by Cliff Scott, audio engineer, songwriter, musician, and producer, working in Milano (Italy).
After a first full-length (Meursault, 2020), generally well received – read Metal Temple review HERE ! Cliff worked hard on this second release focusing on some aspects of capital death. Being a producer and a composer, he created the music and the lyrics himself, but at the same time decided to involve many interesting artists of the Italian metal scene on the way to have different colors in the various songs, especially in the vocals. He involved Chiara Manese, an awesome mezzosoprano and classical crossover artist (Blut, Chakra), Francesca Tosi a powerful young singer (Mediera, MadHour), Asator Ægishjálmur, an amazing singer working mainly in black metal projects (Madvice, Daysidied), Simona Guerrini, vocalist of death metal band Gravestone, Lunaria Wistful (Mooniric), Carlo Fiore, keyboards and synth player of the progressive rock band Macchina Pneumatica and Matteo Venrgoni, acclaimed mastermind of the progressive metal Detevilus Project. Unfortunately, Matteo died just some weeks after the recording of his solo in To the Core. 

The artwork of Cold Thirst was realized by Frost Bite, an Indonesian illustrator.

The album was released by Cliff Scott’s label Heaven Full of Astronauts on March, 28 – 2021.

CVLT OF THE SVN

CVLT OF THE SVN Unleashes “Hellbound” Video From Upcoming Album!

We Are The Dragon out May 7, 2021 via Napalm Records

Watch the New Lyric Video For Hellbound HERE: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzJZ19pfZZY

As it often seems modern rock music has lost its sense of palpable danger and mystique, Finnish dark occult rock act CVLT OV THE SVN marks its return in full force with their grim, addictive first full length, We Are The Dragon. Slated for release on May 7, 2021 via Napalm Records, CVLT OV THE SVN‘s debut embodies a reverberating sense of eeriness, danger and fear, enriched with a pinch of gothic romanticism and pitch-black seduction. Finally, there‘s a cvlt worth joining: CVLT OV THE SVN‘s sound feels dangerously unsettling, lacing its churning heaviness with catchy melodies that travel right through your ears to your central nervous system!

With the unveiling of previously-released goth-boppers like “Twilight”, “The Pit”, “Whore Of Babylon”, “Luna In The Sky Forever” and just recently, “My Venom”, CVLT OV THE SVN have already proven how to successfully merge seething heaviness and sweet pop melodies. Now, the mysterious visionary behind the cvlt, who actually started out as a black metal drummer, has unleashed a brand new lyric video for the heavy dark rock anthem “Hellbound”, ultimately setting free his casket full of morbid horror theatrics! This occult new wave and rock n‘ roll symbiosis draws you right in – like an invitation through the gates of hell to party with the devil himself!

“Everyone of us faces periods in life, when all seems to be lost.“ Says the anonymous band visionary about the new single “ My response to those kind of situations is to put the pedal to the floor and dive deep into the dark corners of my psyche.”

Inspired by movies like The Exorcist and the all devouring darkness itself, CVLT OV THE SVN draws inspiration not only from the heavy rock genre and greats like Type O Negative and Turbonegro, but the nostalgic influences of mainstream artists like Roxette as well.
Conceptually conveying a variety of extreme emotions, each of the album‘s twelve enthralling tracks cut through the noise of society like a razorblade, leaving a long-lasting impression on the listener that‘ll have them clamoring for more.

In addition to the macabre thrills of their music, there‘s the character he takes on stage, twisting the dagger of perception even further like your favorite horror flick and making for a combined experience that cuts deep and close to the bone.

 “It‘s easier to tell those grim stories through another identity, another character.” The creative cvlt leader recently said. “Black cloaks just go with it, obviously. I‘m a big fan of suspense and this kind of content is all about the surprises. I find it is an intriguing realm to explore. Whatever lies ahead, CVLT OV THE SVN will adapt and thrive.”

New Video: Skyliner – I Walk Alone

For fans of: Devin Townsend , Royal Hunt , and Eternal Champion

Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida , SKYLINER is a wave of discontent and a voyage to freedom, with a progressive mind’s eye at the center of the storm. Lyrically esoteric, insightful, or emotionally shipwrecked, a tide of vocal wails and roars collides with pure toned, high-volume guitars, bass, and drums, an alchemical marriage recalling the classic era of heavy and power metal while adding new stones onto that eternal foundation.
“ Dark Rivers, White Thunder ” also sees the band exploring some more earthy, tribal themes and underpinnings, both lyrically and musically, helping to define the feel and atmosphere of the record.

Fans of Devin Townsend , Royal Hunt , and Eternal Champion are going to love Skyliner ! Their new album, Dark Rivers, White Thunder, has progressive musicianship mixed with elements of traditional heavy metal. Skyliner has several ranges of vocal styles, starting with epic Iron Maiden -esque wailing, screaming that is reminiscent of Judas Priest , and sinister growls that will make any death metal head happy. All of that is tied together with a thunderous rhythm section that will have you fist pumping the sky in no time! – Zach Moonshine

Check out the brand new music video!

Track Listing:
1. Break The Surface
2. Dark Rivers, White Thunder
3. The Ghost Messenger
4. God With No Heaven
5. Catch A Dream
6. The Singing Shaman (Fire Stomp)
7. Winter Witch Moon (Spell Of Ice)
8. We Of The Shadows
9. Bleed
10. Night Gypsies
11. I Walk Alone
