“I met NoSlip Records owner Rob at through Jason Virus of Sugar Virus . His band was being pressed to vinyl via Robs horror punk label ‘ Devils Brew Productions ‘, and the band Jason, (Nigel Toxic) and I had together ( Slavething ) was also scheduled to have a Vinyl run made of our album ‘ Death Thing ‘.”

“Sadly the label ran into some issues before ours could be pressed, so it was mastered but never pressed. Around the same time of that album, I had begun work on the Souls of Hades album Lay Your Bones, the first of which to feature me on vocals. I passed the album on to Rob and thought nothing further of it. Fast forward a couple of years and I had started on the follow up to that album, All The filthy Ones . Rob messaged me out of the blue saying Souls of Hades had grown on him quite a bit and that he wanted to have us on a split 7″ with Gravehuffer , who i instantly fell in love with upon hearing.”
“It just so happened the new album had a couple of tracks finished and so I submitted what I think is one of our best tracks from the new album; ‘ 

On Blackest Wings ‘. This track was a real shift for the band, moving more into the Gothic territory i love from Bands like Samhain and Type O Negative . Its probably one of the classiest tracks I’ve written and was an obvious choice for a vinyl release, the FIRST proper vinyl release for the band. I am so happy that both Rob and the Gravehuffer guys believed in us enough to make this happen.”- Janick Peters

Souls of Hades is a hard Rock band summoning elements from the filthier, darker, and grittier corners of rock n’ roll. Hailing from New-Zealand.

Available on Bandcamp at this link: https://nosliprecords.bandcamp.com/album/souls-of-hades-gravehuffer-split

“NoSlip Records asked us if we’d like to participate in a split with New Zealand band Souls Of Hades . Once we listened to them, we immediately said ‘hell yes’! We decided to include the more punk side of things with fan favorite ‘ Shut Up And Skate ’ with the more metal sounding ‘ Your Fault ’ to give people a sense of our range. Carlo Regadas , who played on Carcass ’ ‘ Swansong ’ album, plays a guest guitar solo on the Your Fault track and it’s quite the piece of music! Our bass player Mike Jilge painted our side of the cover art to complete the package. We hope you dig it! Thanks for supporting the underground!”

Bio:Since their inception in 2008, Gravehuffer has crafted their sound into an other-worldly amalgamation of Crust, Punk, Metal, Grindcore, and unapologetic down-tuned Sludge-laden Doom.From the remnants of former projects Initial Detonation , H.R.B ., and Aether Bunny , Krom was formed. Krom evolved into what is now known as Gravehuffer . Without ever making a conscious effort to do so, the Joplin , Missouri band proudly shuns the confines of genre confinements and so-called rules for the sake of the music itself and their collective creative output. Featuring Travis McKenzie on vocals, Ritchie Randall on guitar, and a rhythm section comprised of Mike Jilge on bass, and Jay Willis on drums, Gravehuffer steers clear of trends and limits by being themselves and letting the music take them where it wants to go. With an assortment of original songs in their repertoire that showcase the vast array of influence the band pulls from and a fearlessness to never conform or compromise, Gravehuffer is in it for the sake of the songs and the art itself in a world where most are content to follow rather than lead.Gravehuffer were signed on with Bluntface Records for a special vinyl release of their acclaimed Your Fault album, which features 2 bonus tracks and a guest solo by former Carcass lead guitarist Carlo Regadas .

They were briefly signed with NoSlip Records for a 2 song EP release on vinyl.

They are now currently signed with Black Doomba Records to release the 12 song vinyl LP ‘NecroEclosion‘ on January 15th 2021!

Watch “Be Free” (Official Music Video)

Slaverty is a Symphonic/Melodic Metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2014 by lead Vocalist Karin Monserrat and by ex-Bassist and actual Manager of the band, George Ugalde. Together, they started using the name “Slaverty” to look for musicians to play on this newly metal project. Some guitarists and drummers came and went, but it was not until Juanjo Ulloa´s arrival that the band started taking it´s official path. Recommended by a friend from George, Juanjo was recruited as Guitarist for the band, bringing the perfect touch of “Metal” sound the band required. By 2015, Karin was taking singing lessons at Verónica Villarroel´s Academy, place where Matías Schwartz (who later became Slaverty´s Keyboardist and Arranger) worked as a Piano Accompanist for the Academy. By that time, the band needed a more melodic approach to enhance Karin´s beautiful voice, so the need to incorporate keyboards and more instruments became essential. After a meeting together with Karin and George, Matías took a first listen to the demo “The Biggest Mistake” and immediately decided to be part of the band to help with instrumentation and additional sounds to the project. One of the first big contacts that George had been trying to enrol since the start of the band was Oscar “Oz” Silva (Drummer) to no avail, but it was around that same time, close to when Matías joined the band, that, after many conversations, Oscar decided to be part of this project, joining Slaverty to offer a powerful and virtuoso sound. The band was almost complete. A last member was needed that could help with additional arrangements and musical production, so another guitarist was scouted, a musician that could add both delightful yet skillful solos to the team, so by Matías´ contact on 2018, Slaverty recruited Edgardo “Soco” Moraga on Guitars. At the beginning of 2020, the band releases its first single and music video”Dementia” which got an honorable mention for the film festival “Santigo Horror”. Then, the band released the lyric video for the powerfull song “Dreamcatcher” and after that they decided to release the sweet and sad ballad “Be Free”. During the quarantine of 2020, the band had a meeting with the Italian record label Worm Hole Death, and after many agreements, finally, they signed with them to release their first album called “Beyond Imagination” on November 27, 2020.

Rochester (NY) – Progressive Death Metal Masters CONTRARIAN have partnered with No Clean Singing for the premiere of forthcoming album Only Time Will Tell. Stream it below!

Only Time Will Tell (Album Premiere)

nocleansinging.com/2020/11/17/an-ncs-album-premiere-and-a-review-contrarian-only-time-will-tell/

CONTRARIAN are set to release their fourth album, Only Time Will Tell, November 20 on Willowtip Records!

“Another truly excellent excursion from these masters of technical death metal, hitting all of the sweet spots we’ve come to expect from Contrarian.”– Heavy Blog is Heavy

“Only Time Will Tell captures the progressive metal quintet in the act of regaining their forward momentum while reasserting their hold on the new terrain they claimed in 2019. Tech-death innovators live up to their name more than ever.” (8/10)– Decibel

“Adventurous and unpredictable — bamboozling in its intricacy one moment, and sensuous and seductive the next, intertwining bursts of high-speed, high-flying acrobatics with intoxicating, exotic melodies, shifting gears like a Formula One driver, and drawing upon wells of progressive music outside metal (including jazz fusion) while also injecting doses of ravaging savagery.”– No Clean Singing

“Organic yet forward-thinking, Contrarian uses the best of the past for the bedrock on which to build their modern sound.” (8.5/10)– Wicked Metal Review

“Another fine example how prog, tech, and death metal can be brought together seamlessly enough where not any one element over takes the action, but instead provides a very adventurous yet cohesive experience.” (8/10)– Metal Temple

“Another example of how to expertly fuse traditional heavy metal, old school progressive metal, modern progressive metal, and modern death metal! The band’s fourth full-length studio album, Only Time Will Tell, is a beautifully written opus.”– Welcome To The Metal

“Contrarian manage to be so creative and vibrant with what is essentially an old-school style. Very highly recommended!”– Wonderbox Metal

 “Only Time Will Tell can look any album from the progressive-era of Death or (any era) of Cynic straight in the eyes, without being retro or a shameless copy. Such is the quality and diversity of it that it can appeal to both the fans of traditional technical Death Metal and Deathcore at the same time.”– Jupiter Variation

“Thanks to a focused and detailed effort, Only Time Will Tell is one of the progressive death metal stars of the this year’s album release catalogue!”– Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“Contrarian has always consisted of supremely stellar musicians with hoards of fresh ideas.”– Technical Music Review

“Contrarian really represent the New School of Old School Death Metal and have welded together a very cool concept album.”– Metal.de

“Good news for fans of progressive/technical death metal the leans back to each sub-genre’s original mastery.”– Grizzly Butts

“Equal parts a tribute as it is an attempt to reinvent and modernize the genre, merging the styles of yesteryear with certain touches of melodeath and deathcore to give a certain amount of innovation and freshness.”– RTMB Music

The “new school of old school progressive death metal” is how CONTRARIAN is described; creating death metal that is authentically original with a natural memory and understanding of the old. Rooted in early 90’s progressive death metal, but with an unrelenting forward-thinking approach. Spearheaded by guitar player Jim Tasikas, CONTRARIAN is a group of like-minded musicians that coincidentally converged on a vision of what a modern death metal band should sound like. Organic sounding, yet aggressive and melodically complex, CONTRARIAN is packed with snake-like riffage and atmospheric variations that will provide a wholly enticing listen to all those willing to take in its eccentricity.

CONTRARIAN is thinking man’s metal, both musically and lyrically. The band uses methods of fantasy and escapism to convey ideas involving philosophy, theology, and science. CONTRARIAN has been on a campaign to promote thinking man’s metal for a long time. Organic and passionate playing, dignified studio recording methods that reflects an understanding of the craft competence, evolution and succession of diverse metal history over decades.

Only Time Will Tell is CONTRARIAN’s fourth studio album. Once again, a concept album that deals with the band’s familiar topics of philosophy and theology. This time, the band’s mascot ‘the cloaked contrarian” endeavors on an adventure of time travel for redemption and love.
