Firebird is the brainchild of legendary UK guitarist Bill Steer (Carcass, Napalm Death), which explores areas he is most fond of, outside of death metal and heavy metal in general. The sound of Firebird is very pure and is heavily influenced by the forefathers of heavy rock and blues, dating back from the early 60s through to early 70s. Bill’s soulful vocals can be somewhat compared to Steve Marriot, at least in terms of expression, whilst his guitar playing is in a league of its own; truly one of the most under-estimated guitarists in the history of British rock. The band released this debut album back in 2000 on Rise Above records, the label ran by his old pal Lee Dorrian. The line up on this debut featured the explosive rhythm section of Leo Smee (Cathedral, Chrome Hoof etc) on bass and Ludwig Witt (Spiritual Beggars, Grand Magus etc) on drums. It received high critical acclaim from both classic rock purists and fans of his heavier work. Released for the first time on vinyl, Firebird will please Bill’s many fans who are finally able to fill this gap in their collection.

The new Ereb Altor album Järtecken is a future classic! A sign of things to come!

It's hard to fathom what 25 years of being a band really means: if musicians keep playing together under the umbrella of the same band for that long, then their belief in their craft and the importance of their artistic expression must be stronger th

The Finns' eighth album sounds even more variable thanks to new keyboarder/singer Pekka. Wave noise surrounds the intro "Seafarers dream" and leads after the powerful final epic "Northland ('Väinämöinen part III')" from the nautical concept. The lively fellow groomer "Wine, women, victory" gets Alestorm's plank fun going, "Andromeda" takes the Amorphis course with playful guitar work and alternating vocals. "The defence of the sampo" combines Kalevala mysticism with spaghetti western flair. The lively "Run from the crushing tide" fires the first singalong directly and turns out to be a French "Romeo & Juliet" variant. "For sirens" takes a bow to Odysseus and would have fitted perfectly to the accordion playing of Netta Skog, whose time with Ensiferum was very limited. As a tragic reflection of the last man on earth, "One with the sea" is the exact opposite of hillbilly folk western punk in "Midsummer magic". Yee-haw!

It was time Enisum cleaned out their closet. When they finally decided to open it, a pile of material dating back to their early days turned up: those were the days when Enisum was still the solo, studio project of guitarist, singer and composer Lys. Here is everything Lys ever composed and recorded prior to the proper debut, Samoht Nara.

First vinyl pressing is.Limited to 500 copies in 2 colour blue & black cosmic swirl vinyl + DLC. Within the genre of heavy metal there can be an abundance of variation, color, texture and tone. There are many different shades and many different categories within that catch-all phrase. It's not all about throat ripping vocals or Neanderthal riffage. As many who are not drawn metal's immediate charms may perceive. Heavy music can encompass a whole panoply of sounds, moods and ambition. It can surround you with emotional elegance and distressing chaos. There can be subtleness, thoughtfulness and deep introspection even when things get exceptionally heavy. This is why NHS is thrilled to unveil our latest signing. We have partnered with 4 musically kindred spirits from Birmingham, Alabama, collectively known as EMBR. EMBR tick all the boxes overhead and beyond. EMBR already have 3 mighty EP's under their belt. '261' released in 2016. '271' released in 2017 and their last EP titled 326: Spiritual Dialysis' released in 2018. All 3 got them on the heavy underground radar. "punishingly heavy with sedated slowness on a level different that most doom out there." Metal Temple // "a heavy mixture of grunge, doom and stoner rock with a twinge of gothic style delivery" Outlaws Of The Sun // EMBR spent most of 2019 writing 7 new songs for '1823'. The album was recorded by Matt Washburn at Ledbelly Sound Studio (Mastodon, Royal Thunder) in Dawsonville Ga. The title '1823' has special significance. It's not just a numerical title, it has substance. Eric Bigelow (drummer) has been on the list for a kidney for around 4 years. Eric received a kidney transplant in May of 2019. This happened right in the middle of writing the album. The kidney was from a deceased donor and all Eric and Crystal Bigelow (singer and Eric's wife) know about the donor is that it was a young woman between the ages of 18-23. The album is dedicated to the donor and the surgeons at Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville TN. And what a fine tribute it is. Musically '1823' could be categorized as 'Doom'. However, on this debut it's obvious that EMBR have range, drive and a desire to add to the genre, to broaden it whilst staying true to its core fundamentals. Rest assured, the band have all the nuts and bolts in place. Mark Buchanan (guitar), Alan Light (bass) and Eric Bigelow (drums) keep everything tight and weighty. Massive drop-tuned guitars, chest rattling low end, pounding drums, fuzzy distortion, it's all there. But they also add in synths, a bit of grunge and alt rock flavors. The vocal talents of Crystal absolutely soar and strengthen the music. Her range, patterns and harmonies transport the band's music skyward. Crystal adds soul and an air of melancholia to the musical creations. If a pointer were needed, think Mastodon meets Witch Mountain with epic sweeps and a shade of gothic drama. Tracks like 'Prurient' and 'Where I've Been' combine thick heavy riffs with Crystal weaving through, powerful and epic, yet soulful and intimate. Musically, the bands core vibe is keep it slow and low' but EMBR aren't afraid to mix it up a bit. 'Stranger' takes it down, allowing Crystal's voice to float over the softer elements and riffs in an almost folk-like manner. 'Powder' channels throat ripping growls and soaring clean vocals in one loping relentless journey. 'Eyes Like Knives' , 'Your Burden' and 'Vines' are epic doom fests, drenched in gothic veils and dripping with thick distortion. The lyrics are deep and are usually written collectively by Crystal and Eric with one of them sometimes taking the reins on certain songs that they identify with. For instance, Powder is a song Eric wrote about past struggles and trying to power through them with relentless determination and positivity. Prurient was written by Crystal and initially was based on the 2016 movie THE BOY but also was inspired by her past experiences with a haunting figure in her life. The songs on 1823 are loud, brutally beautiful, aggressive, abrasive and at times atmospheric, uplifting and emotional. Welcome to the next chapter of EMBR

Eisregen's 14th studio album bears the cheerful title "Leblos" (German for lifeless), and Eisregen do what they can do best: Deliver radical musical art and morbid lyrics par excellence! 2020 is a very special year for the cult band from Thuringia: Eisregen are celebrating their 25th band anniversary - and the extreme metal outfit celebrates it with the release of their 14th studio album entitled "Leblos", which turned out to be one of their best releases yet! The new album's predecessor "Fegefeuer" (#17, Media Control Charts in Germany) was very well-received by the fans and press alike. "Leblos" aims to do the same and brutally delivers, what people expect from the Thuringians: Radical musical art and morbid lyrics par excellence! "Leblos" showcases M. Roth (all vocals/lyrics) and Yantit (drums/guitars/compositions) at their very best - potential hits galore and songs like "Pechschwarz", "1000 Jahre Nacht", "Mutter schneidet" or "Mein Leichenwerk" will surely make die-hard Eisregen fans smile. The song "Drauß' vom Häuten komm' ich her" ups the ante in terms of morbidity even more. There will soon be a video for the album's title track "Leblos" available on YouTube as well. The album was recorded at Yantit's own HcN-Studio, while long-time friend and sound engineer Markus Stock - who played bass and lead guitars on "Leblos" - took care of the mixing and mastering at Klangschmiede E. Eisregen also once again recruited svartir andar graphix for the cover artwork's design. But wait, there's more: Since the main album is dark and grim, "Leblos" will also include a bonus disc with 4 party- and drinking songs to celebrate the band's 25th anniversary in style! To realize it, M. Roth and Yantit formed an instantly iconic project named "Räudige Rennsteig Rebellen"! Hits like "Deutsches Bierlied" or "Grünes Herz" invite you to celebrate what the future has in store for Eisregen - with a lot of accompanying drinks, of course! 2020 will also be a great year for Eisregen fans when it comes to live activities: Even though all planned summer festivals attendances were sadly axed, Eisregen will go on headliner tour in Germany this fall/winter, with a very special anniversary set featuring new songs as well as old classics! Looks like Eisregen fans have a lot to look forward to this year, that's for sure! And Eisregen wouldn't be Eisregen, if M. Roth and Yantit wouldn't have started working on this album's successor "Scharfschütze" already... Death remains a master from Thuringia!
