CHEMICIDE RELEASE "VIOLENCE PREVAILS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

With four full length albums and an ep under their belt, CHEMICIDE have become one of the biggest neck breaking thrash metal acts in Latin America selling over 10K+ albums worldwide and have continued to tour around the globe in DIY fashion that has helped them grow steadily in the metal community.

The band has been on multiple extensive tours around South, Central, North America & Europe, playing with great bands like Toxic Holocaust, Cattle Decapitation, Municipal Waste, Angelus Apatrida, Helloween, Destruction etc… and have been featured in Metal Hammer UK’s top 10 thrash albums of 2022 alongside Megadeth, Kreator & Destruction; it helped the band connect with a bigger audience worldwide and led the band to several European and American festivals, like Pitfest (NL) Into the Grave (NL) In Flammen (DE) and MetalDays (SL), Rock al Parque (CO) and México Metal Fest (MX).

CHEMICIDE band leader Frankie comments about their new album 'Violence Prevails' :

«Violence Prevails is a reflection of our daily life. America is a beautiful continent but filled with corruption; more specifically Central and South America. I wanted to portray how there's no more dialogue; everything is resolved with violence and unfortunately for us, we see a lot of poverty and class disparities among our people. I also wanted to tell a story that could resonate with more individuals across the planet and see that they are not alone when they see what's happening around them. Violence now is the key to sort out any discrepancies you may have with someone else and we see it on a daily basis with international conflicts around the globe.

Production wise We wanted a late 80's-early 90's approach to the sound of this album. Big drums, heavy bass and sharp guitar riffs, all of this mixed with a lot of reverb and a very raw, ‘butchery' approach to the sound. Martín Furia - of Bark and Destruction fame who mixed and mastered the album - understood this perfectly and he helped us shape the sound of this album. He took Black Sabbath's "Dehumanizer" as an inspiration for the drum sound and we tried to start from scratch on the guitar, bass and vocal sound.»

CHEMICIDE have been perfecting their bombastic frenetic riffwork and drumming savagery during the course of their past four albums, now resulting in their strongest and most punishing new album 'Violence Prevails’.

CHEMICIDE’s 'Violence Prevails' is to be released through Listenable records on the 28th of February, 2025.

*******************************************************

Costa Rican death metal act NECROFERUM have announced the upcoming release of their debut EP, "Visions from the Necrorealm", on November 4th 2024 via Nuclear Winter Records. The first single from the record, "Malignant Echoes of Non-Existence", is out now.

In the heart of the Central American jungle, where shadows crawl and ancient secrets linger, NECROFERUM awakens. Born from spectral fumes and steeped in malevolence, it embodies the rotting essence of a darkness that knows no bounds. As the putrid miasma rises, it unleashes a relentless force, merciless and unforgiving, drawn from the deepest depths of evil.

NECROFERUM was established in 2023 by Juan Salas and Justin Sanchez, both of Mortual, in their pursuit of a heavier and more punishing sound. The line-up was completed with the addition of drummer Juan José Fernandez, who introduced bassist Kevin Venegas to the group. Based in San José, Costa Rica, NECROFERUM is dedicated to conjuring the sepulchral sound of spectral mists.

For fans of: Spectral Voice, Krypts, early Iniquity, Disma

DUSK RELEASE "INDUSTRIE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Costa Rican industrial black metal project DUSK announces the impending release of Industrie. The band's newest album is comprised of six conceptually linked chapters and ends with a scathing revisioning of Mahyem's "Freezing Moon."

DUSK has launched a stream of the album's first single "Industrie II." The song is a mechanized black metal anthem which transitions from a post-apocalyptic burial doom into a war blackened chaos. Listen now at youtu.be/gSQ_2BgbNOM.

Industrie is set for release on May 31.

Industrie brings a new concept never explored by the band, this forthcoming release is more experimental and way more digestive than the previous releases, incorporating some groove-paced riffs into the grisly aggression and the apocalyptic landscapes.

1) Industrie I

2) Industrie II

3) Industrie III

4) Industrie IV

5) Industrie V

6) Industrie VI

7) Freezing Moon
