Following up on the success of last year’s reissue of the classic Winter Of Sin, Abyss Records is proud to unearth yet another treasure from Norwegian black/death metal warlocks FESTER. In mid-April of 2011 Abyss will reincarnate FESTER’s 1994 masterpiece Silence on digi-CD. The reissue will come completely remixed, remastered and repackaged and will feature all nine original tracks and a live version of the song “Persecution” recorded in 1991.
The story thus far…Izegrim recorded and released its first propaganda on tape, called ‘Most Evil Demo’ in spring 1998. The demo (featuring symphonic death metal) was generally received very positively by the media. Izegrim released the self-financed mini-CD Bird of Prey in the summer of 1999. From the start, Izegrim was received very well by both the media and audience at live-gigs.
Hourcast have just posted a teaser trailer for their new single “Attraction” on their YouTube Channel. The video features scantily clad adult film star Jessie Jane armed with a pistol, and firing at lead singer Patrick Mcbride. The full length video for “Attraction” will be premiering in the coming weeks, so be sure to check out the band’s Facebook page for all the latest updates and info.
France’s BENIGHTED deliver their most adventurous album so far: 12 tracks of pure Death/Grind mixing brutality and groove, featuring guest vocals from Svencho (ABORTED) and Mike Majewski (DEVOURMENT). Ever since 2000’s self-titled debut, the band’s evolution between every album has been blatant, even though it was clear that BENIGHTED was promised to a brilliant future when “Psychose” came out in 2002.
