ABSOLUTE MASTER: conheça algumas bandas que já trabalharam com a empresa




Pouco a pouco a renomada ABSOLUTE MASTER vai conquistando a confiança das principais bandas do Rock e Metal nacional e seu leque de parceiros vai crescendo em quantidade e qualidade.

Para quem não conhece a história, vamos resumir: a ABSOLUTE MASTER é uma das principais empresas especializadas em masterização analógica da América Latina, sempre investindo nos melhores equipamentos do mundo e no treinamento internacional de seu engenheiro, Neto Grous.

Em sua lista de clientes, estão alguns dos maiores nomes da música popular brasileira, como Cláudia Leitte, Edson & Hudson e Ivan Lins. No entanto, os sócios do estúdio nunca esconderam a vontade de trabalhar ainda mais com o Rock e o Metal e focaram seus esforços para mostrar que também poderiam oferecer a esses segmentos o melhor da masterização analógica, através de um engenheiro altamente qualificado e experiente, por um preço competitivo – muitas vezes abaixo do executado por outras empresas –, mesmo oferecendo resultados superiores.

Agora a ABSOLUTE MASTER começa a colher resultados e apresenta um pouco das bandas que já masterizaram com ela.

Várias bandas que já passaram por lá são nomes muito bem conhecidos do público brasileiro e que já têm o nome sendo trabalhado exaustivamente no exterior: Woslom, Rebaelliun, Blackning, Hatefulmurder, Chaos Sinopsys, Serenity In Fire, Portrait, Dying Suffocation, Laconist, etc.

Mas o espaço não está apenas para bandas “velhas de guerra”, muitos novos nomes estão acreditando que qualidade deve estar sempre presente, como as bandas Chafun Di Formio, Bad Bebop (formada por músicos do Necropsya e Semblant), Herot, X-Empire, Life in Black e outras…

SCORPION CHILD: band talks about the songwriting process!




Texan classic rockers SCORPION CHILD have released the fourth video trailer in which the band's singer Aryn Jonathan Black and guitarist Christopher Cowart talk about how the band writes new material as well as how the title track was created. View the video trailer on the Nuclear BlastYouTube Channel: 




See Aryn & Chris talk about new members and involvement in the record: https://youtu.be/xL990Nzj0xE

The band's brand new track, 'Moon Tension', is available on the Nuclear Blast YouTube Channel: smarturl.it/MoonTension

The sophomore album, »Acid Roulette«, will be released on June 10, 2016 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. 

Recently the band released a video trailer where vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black discusses the concept behind the artwork. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/UculLdDxXQY

Also watch the lyric video for 'My Woman In Black':

"»Acid Roulette« chronicles the life trials of a traveling man who was imprisoned for a murderous crime," comments vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black. "He was forced into confessing by his wife and her wealthy lover so that they could live out their romance without him in the picture. Once sentenced to a life's term, he goes through extreme emotions dealing with the only woman he'd ever loved taking everything he'd known as "real" away from him. He has to create and redefine his own reality accompanied by its roller coaster of emotional reflection. He experiences many different psychological changes throughout the years and escapes by means of drugs and his writings. These songs become his diary of a madman. The focus is mainly on the seasons in a year, for each song represents a month. The songs exist to drive home the full power of human emotion as many albums do, however, »Acid Roulette« wires us into those extremes."

Once again, the band recorded at The Bubble in Austin, TX with Chris ‘Frenchie’ Smith (THE ANSWER, AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD...) who produced and arranged the band’s self-titled, first full-length. »Acid Roulette« was mixed by Dave Schiffman (THE MARS VOLTA, DEAD MEADOW, JANE'S ADDICTION, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE). The album's artwork, pictured above, was a collaboration by Aryn Jonathan Black, photographer Max Taylor and graphic designer Rob Kimura.


Track list and formats as follows:

CD:
1. She Sings, I Kill
2. Reaper’s Danse
3. My Woman In Black
4. Acid Roulette
5. Winter Side Of Deranged
6. Séance
7. Twilight Coven
8. Survives
9. Blind Man’s Shine
10. Moon Tension
11. Tower Grove
12. I Might Be Your Man
13. Addictions

The band had recently released the brand new single, 'She Sings, I Kill'. The official lyric video can be viewed here:


These two new tracks give us a furtive glimpse into the Texans highly anticipated upcoming sophomore album. Aryn Jonathan Black returns with his rich, electrifying vocals interweaved with the groove laden riffs of guitarist Christopher Jay Cowart and the sauntering bass work of Alec Caballero Padron. SCORPION CHILD are completed by Jon ‘Charn’ Rice (drums) and AJ Vincent (keyboards). More impassioned than ever, SCORPION CHILD have something to prove.

IMMORTAL: have completed the writing of their ninth full length studio album!




"This will be our darkest and coldest album in a long time: pure Blashyrkh metal the way our fans know it, with massive, majestic riffs, grim, frostbitten vocals and tales from our mighty realm. Fast and furious tracks, epic tracks and longer playtime than any of our previous albums."

Founding IMMORTAL member, lyricist and guitarist Demonaz is now also handling the vocals. 

"The massive fan support has been very inspiring and we will not let down the fans. This last year, we have completed all the new songs and look forward to record our most passionate album in a long time. The songwriting process has been awesome and we are soon ready to start the recordings."

In a time when true and original black metal is nearly dead, the band is in ultimate spirit: "After the last year's incidents, it was time to go back to the roots to what this band is really about musically, and also to take the integrity of the band back to where it belongs. Cold, grim, uncompromising Blashyrkh metal with a true feeling is what we deliver."

From 2010 until 2014, IMMORTAL wrote all the songs for the successor to »All Shall Fall«, but when ex-member Abbath left the band in 2014, he changed the lyrics, song titles and recorded these songs for his so called "solo album": "We had to focus on making a new album nearly from scratch, which is the main reason why things have taken this much time. We are now looking forward to record the new album and present it to all those who have shown their loyalty and support. IMMORTAL have always been a unique and unstoppable force, and that goes for our fans as well. We will never change our music or attitude."

The album title and song titles will be revealed soon.

"Mais uma vez a cena Rock vai ocupar um espaço público na Cidade. Aos poucos estamos conseguindo integrar a cultura Rock à Cidade e fazer com que a gente se sinta abraçado por projetos como esse", diz o idealizador do Rock na Praça, o músico e empreendedor cultural Fabricio Ravelli.

A edição passada do Rock na Praça contou com as bandas Torture Squad Woslom, Sinaya e John Wayne e a primeira com Nervosa, Worst, Pompeu e Amigos e Project 46. Cada uma contou com público de cinco mil pessoas.

TRAVO: assista ao videoclipe de Grilhões!



Como prometido, o quarteto cearense TRAVO, apresenta o segundo videoclipe, o intitulado "Grilhões".

O clipe sugere uma possível escravidão inconsciente à qual a sociedade atual está inserida. Uma ideia de servidão voluntária, que cada vez mais impossibilita a percepção da situação servil em que vivemos.

"Grilhões" é a terceira faixa do disco "Sobre Todos, Para Ninguém". Assista o clipe abaixo.


Novamente em parceria com a IR Produções, o clipe teve suas captações nos bairros Henrique Jorge e Conjunto Ceará - bairros situados na periferia de Fortaleza, CE - e foi concluído em apenas um dia.

BELPHEGOR: working hard on creating new album (April 2017)!




Photo credit: blood brother Mr. Barth (OSDOU), taken in Abtenau, Austria during a rehearsal session.

Helmuth states: "We've just finished the fourth rehearsal session. The process consisted of 13 exhausting, creative days in a row. Nine compositions took form and already sound massive. It's important to me that we get better, tighter, raise the dynamics, and have each musician develop his skills with his instruments to bring our sound to the next level. We've always done our own thing and continue to do so."

"Live ceremonies are still the essence of BELPHEGOR, touring worldwide is our main priority after writing and releasing new musick for our loyal supporters. The new, currently untitled album will be our most obscure and brutal one. It's the first time we've tuned our guitars to H5 and ‪#‎A6‬, which is really low, and will add a new touch to our sound. Release date will be in April 2017! We're forever on fire and ready for new challenges. Progress is experimentation and improvement. An honour - this horror."

Check out this exclusive clip of BELPHEGOR playing 'Totenkult - Exegesis Of Deterioration'recorded live inside their "rehearsal bunker". This scorching death/black metal track will be included on the upcoming album scheduled for an April 2017 release. Crank it to the max and go to hell with them:

30 years of DORO! 30 years of rock and metal! 30 years of dedication, passion and love for the music and her fans all over the world. DORO celebrated her 30th anniversary of performing live during 2013/2014 by touring the world extensively for a year and by playing three official anniversary shows!

The tour kicked off impressively in front of 85,000 people at the world's biggest metal festival,Wacken - followed by two sold-out nights in her home town, Dusseldorf, where she also started her outstanding career.

And everyone came to party with DORO: Phil Campbell (MOTÖRHEAD), Biff Byford (SAXON),Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE), Blaze Bayley (ex-IRON MAIDEN), Joakim Brodén (SABATON),Hansi Kürsch (BLIND GUARDIAN), Udo Dirkschneider, Uli Jon Roth, LORDI as well as many more amazing guests - the list of stars who celebrated the metal queen on stage comes across like a "Who's Who" of the rock and metal scene.

Three decades of DORO - three unforgettable nights - forever captured on three DVDs and two Blu-rays; including an two-hour plus, great music movie, which delivers deep insights behind the scenes and inside the heart of DORO. Nuclear Blast releases this incredible DORO anniversary package on June 24th, »Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal«. A fan-tastic memory for everyone who has seen DORO live worldwide during her anniversary and a revelation for all fans of good, hard rock music and classy live performance with blood, sweat and tears.

DORO: "We spent endless hours, days and nights working on the DVD, because we wanted to present a real highlight for all rock and metal fans for the 30th anniversary. We took care of every detail. It began already with the bombastic stage in Wacken, we worked one year on its design. In Dusseldorf, we even celebrated two nights in a row. One "Classic Night" with a 40-piece orchestra and one "balls to the wall" rock show on the second evening. It continued subsequently nonstop - with an anniversary tour, with led us to Russia, South America and my second home, the USA, among others."

»Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal« contains 38 songs in total, a full load of rock and metal, including all DORO classics, many old WARLOCK hits and ingenious cover versions of songs such as 'Fear Of The Dark' (IRON MAIDEN) and 'Balls To The Wall' (ACCEPT). The filming and cutting is phenomenal, and the sound crystal-clear. Once again, the packaging was drawn by DORO's favourite artist, Geoffrey Gillespie.

Additionally, »Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal« offers a unique music movie with a two-hour plus documentary, »Behind The Curtain, Inside The Heart Of DORO«. It gives the spectator deep and detailed insights into the world of DORO.

DORO: "There's always great impressions from all over the world and never before seen pictures from our life behind the stage. The camera team accompanied us for over one year everywhere and captured very emotional, intimate and human situations."

The title hits the nail right on the head: »Behind The Curtain, Inside The Heart Of DORO«.

Wolf Hoffmann has a passion. His life-long love and dedication to heavy metal music is documented in dozens of albums spanning four decades with his long time heavy metal bandACCEPT. But beyond heavy metal, Wolf has an incessant craving for the classics, yes, the ones written decades and centuries ago.

Classical music has always been an influence - albeit limited - on ACCEPT's Teutonic approach to rock and heavy metal. However, it wasn't until 1997 during a extended hiatus from ACCEPT, thatWolf Hoffmann finally had the chance to fully explore and fulfill this interest by recording his first astounding solo album »Classical«, a record filled with his rock guitar driven interpretations of some of classical music’s most loved compositions.

"I have always incorporated classical music in my songwriting with ACCEPT, especially with »Metal Heart«, but I constantly felt there was so much more that I could do and I did not want to overload ACCEPT or force it in any way. I always knew I could make a whole record of it and that’s how the first record »Classical« was born. Even today, fans tell me that they are still listening to it, that's why it is so fantastic now to do another one."

»Headbangers Symphony« is truly a bold statement by a genuine musician who simply refused to rest on his laurels and continues to push and challenge himself.

"I am just so excited about »Headbangers Symphony«. It has taken a long, long time but here we are, it's done, finally!" Wolf is just bursting with vigor as he talks about his latest labor of love. But why now? "It's truly coincidental, after we completed the last ACCEPT tour, I finally had the time to finish it. I started this a few years ago. The early recordings have been sitting in my archives in my home studio for years, almost completed. The reality was that with the continued success of ACCEPT, I was only able to work on it when ACCEPT was not recording or touring."

The prevalent early challenge was to pick the most suitable compositions. This was an exploratory process that only increased Wolf's adoration for the classics. "I always listen to classical music, it's always playing throughout my house. I have a huge collection of classics and as I listen - often at random, I take notes if something truly strikes me. When I notice that this or that could work in a translation to rock or heavy metal, I remember it and I pursue it! This has been going on for a long time!"

There are several reasons for the necessary experimentations that faced Wolf. Most classical compositions were written to be performed by a full orchestra. The fluid timing, those multiple, complex layers and sections that stretched out for lengthy periods, classical music was simply never designed to be played to the rigid beat so prevalent in rock 'n' roll.

»Headbangers Symphony« showcases an overabundance of highly skilled improvisations. Wolftook the main pieces, and then wrote riffs that fit them. Lastly, in the grand hard rock tradition, he layered a guitar solo over it. He shaped the sound into a quite adventurous elegance, but the key themes of the originals remained.

The first volume had a focus on the better known pieces; the second - »Headbangers Symphony« - takes a similar approach. "In general, it does follow the same path," admits Wolf,"but this time I did try to add a couple lesser known compositions. Mostly though, listeners will say, hey, I know that melody… so it’s pretty much the same path as the »Classical« record. It was my desire to record melodies I like and melodies people recognise."

Now that the album is done, Wolf is proud looking back and is pleased with this true labour of love; something he has wanted to do since the first record »Classical« came out almost 20 years ago. While ACCEPT's Peter Baltes added several impressive bass lines, and other notable guest musicians made an appearance as well, the bulk of the work was completed by himself and Italian musician and arranger Melo Mafali.

"There are two major categories," Wolf elaborates. "First the heavier stuff like Beethoven, the bombastic, full force epics on which you can simply shred along. Of course then there are the ballads, slower compositions that bring out the deeper feelings in each listener."

The highlights on »Headbangers Symphony« are plentiful and easy to pin point. The album kicks off with 'Scherzo' from the well-known '9th Symphony' by Ludwig v. Beethoven. Many listeners might recognise the opening riff from the ACCEPT song 'Teutonic Terror'. "Back in 2009," Wolf explains, "when we started working on the songs for the »Blood Of The Nations« album, I played the classical demos to our producer Andy Sneap. He liked that riff a lot and insisted on using it for the album. So we wrote 'Teutonic Terror' using this "borrowed" riff."

Other highlights follow in rapid succession: 'Night On Bald Mountain' by Russian composerModest Petrovich Mussorgsky is a very dramatic dark song on the theme of a witches’ Sabbath, a perfect fit for Wolf's "metal treatment". 'Symphony No. 40' by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozartwill be immediately recognisable. "It's a little more up-tempo, pretty happy, typical for Mozart. Not mean and heavy as most of the other stuff," Wolf points out. Additional highpoints include Wolf's interpretations of such masterworks as Tchaikovsky’s 'Swan Lake', 'Pathétique' also fromLudwig v. Beethoven, 'Méditation' from the opera »Thais« by French composer Jules Massenet, and of course the aforementioned 'Madame Butterfly'.

All in all, the eleven compositions on »Headbangers Symphony« paint the perfect portrait ofWolf's life-long passion for the classics and his adoration for heavy metal. "I worked so much and so long on this until I felt it was ready. Now it is and I am thrilled and proud. This is my baby, my labor of love, ready for me to set it free."
