Devil Sold His Soul
发布日期 2014年11月24日 出版发行: Basick Records
Paul can't wait for fans to hear their new material: "I'm absolutely stoked to get this record out there. Each song on this record is a huge part of me & something I'm immensely proud to put out. The band itself has been through a massive transition period since I joined last April and this represents a journey for us all. It's been a tough time but hopefully the start of something great." - Paul Green (Vocals) The EP was recorded, mixed and produced by the bands (multi-talented) guitarist, Jonny Renshaw at Bandit Studios, and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side in New York. One of the founding members of the band Rick Chapple gives his thoughts on what they have created: "We are extremely proud of this record and cannot wait to continue this new chapter of Devil Sold His Soul. ''Belong Betray'' is our first proper release with Paul Green on vocals and we feel it encapsulates exactly who we are as a band at the moment. We have really developed and broadened our sound on this record and we cannot wait for people to hear these songs. We still have so much more we want to achieve and hopefully this will be the start of it all." - Rick Chapple (Guitar)

“这是一张向瑞典90年代旋律黑死金属靠拢的作品,我们不否认受到Dissection、Sacramentum和Unanimated等殿堂级乐队的深刻影响,但仍旧希望能通过这种风格融合进自己多年来和这些伟大的乐队产生的共鸣和沉淀,创作有自身特点的音乐,而非刻板临摹。于是也就希望采用最简朴的三大件乐器写出最纯粹的曲子,最终能够为这个被逐渐遗忘的风格再次献出一张专辑,我们也是引以为豪。”--Black Reaper

Dawn of the 5th Era 豆瓣
Mors Principium Est 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2014年12月5日 出版发行: Afm Records (Soulfood)
“Dawn Of The Fifth Era” is the fifth output of Melodic Death Metal band MORS PRINCIPIUM EST around vocalist Ville Viljanen.
Taking a look at the career of MORS PRINCIPIUM EST so far shows that the band easily attracted attention with each album. Already in the days of their debut “Inhumanity” (2003) critics were full of praise for the Finns, who still sounded fresh and made no secret of where their roots were. Comparisons to At The Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, or even the fellow-countrymen Children Of Bodom were common, but MORS PRINCIPIUM EST have never been characterized as just a mere clone of the above mentioned. Even when the follow-up albums “The Unborn” (2005) and “Liberation=Termination” (2007) were released, the names of the scene pioneers were always at hand, but rather to show that this upcoming band is on a par with them. This positive response from the press helped to build a loyal fan base and establish the band internationally.
Since 2007 the band had to deal with several line-up changes, which almost lead to their disbanding and were the reason for the long hiatus. Over the following years they tried out different musicians and combinations, clearly intending to not let things end this way. In 2011 they found Andy Gillion from United Kingdom and Andhe Chandler from New Zealand as their new guitarists (selected from over 200 applicants). With this new line-up they recorded their previous album "... and Death said live”(2012).
However, another line-up change happened: Andhe Chandler left the band and Kevin Verlay came in as their new guitarist.
Now, in 2014 the band returns extremely impressive: brute and tremendous riffs meet beautiful melodies, which were recorded, mixed and mastered at well-known Panic Room Studios in Sweden (Scar Symmetry, Solution.45, Watain).
The cover artwork for Dawn Of The Fifth Era is by Alexander von Wieding (Tankard, Karma To Burn, VOLCOM, High Roller, SPV, Napalm).
Muse 豆瓣
8.4 (5 个评分) Polyphia 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2014年9月2日 出版发行: selfmade
Make no mistake about it, progressive rock and metal is going through an exciting transition. Beyond the stage of genre-confining mediocrity, new hybrid forms are emerging, fusing prog rock’s technicality and musicianship with the ear-catching infectiousness of pop and jazz fusion.
Newest on the scene are the wunderkinds that make up Polyphia. All aged 20-21, the Texan instrumental outfit are ready to show the world their debut full-length, Muse. Equally inspired by guitar wizards Guthrie Govan and Rick Graham, and the pop sensibility of the R&B/rap world, Muse is a 44 minute ride full of groove, ear-teasing riffs and melodies and blindsiding musical brilliance. Who needs vocals?
Polyphia are a band fast on the rise. Backed by an impressive fanbase who crowdfunded the album, the group are set to undertake their first two tours in the USA – first with prog metal stars Monuments and latterly with Intervals and The Contortionist.
Featuring members of Intervals, Chelsea Grin, CHON and more, Muse was produced by Nick Sampson (Born of Osiris, I am Abomination, In Fear and Faith) at 37 studios.
