Elder, the “the young Boston-based quartet that has quietly built a killer catalog over the past decade” (Paste), release the sole early single from the band’s forthcoming album, “Omens” (April 24th via Armageddon Shop), streaming “Embers” below.
“"Embers" is doubtless one of the most energetic and upbeat songs Elder has ever made, and really became the favorite to play while rehearsing to record "Omens"”, shares singer/guitar player Nick DiSalvo. “It’s maybe the least traditionally heavy track from the record, but it’s certainly dense. Lots of interlocking guitar and bass lines, keyboards, synthesizer solos (thanks to our friend Fabio Cuomo!) – you can hear that we had plenty of fun making this album. Like any Elder song, it’s best heard in contest, and we’re excited to release the full record soon!”
The stream of “Embers” arrives as the band has also unveiled the cover art for the five song, 54-minute album concept album. The band has described the release as one that mimics the lifespan of a civilization, and also reads as a commentary on our own society hell-bent on profitability at the expense of our own lives and environment. “Omens” was produced by Peter Deimel (Anna Calvi, The Kills, The Wedding Present) and recorded at Studio Black Box in Noyant-La-Gravoyêre, France. Deimel and DiSalvo mixed the collection.

Vanguard, from hellsinki, creates dark melodic metal, breaking genre barriers and using elements from gothic, classical and other styles to create a truly unque sound. The force of nature known as Vanguard was born in 1999, when four musicians came together and set out to create something new and powerful, something living and organic, but still hard and heavy as hell! Vanguard quickly incorporated a cello, a piano and two very different vocalists to bring some fresh air into the stagnant digital sea. Now the maelstrom has forged its first album Succumbra, which was recorded in Hamburg, Germany under the wings of producer Lars Ratz. Armageddon. 2005.

Out of Houston, Texas, USA comes the new shining star on the heavy metal sky : Outworld. This amazing band has a unique way of blending musical styles with a genuine conviction in which they express themselves. Musically they can be described as anything from power metal to progressive, groove and melodic metal. With influences ranging from neoclassical and progressive metal heroes such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Symphony X and Dream Theater, to modern day hard edged bands such as Pantera and Meshuggah. Outworld is one of the few bands in the metal genre that is not afraid to groove and try out new things hence forming a stand alone image. Outworld not only take their music seriously, but also spend as much time on lyrics and subject matter to grab the interest of many.
