ICARUS WITCH On Tour With Paul Di’Anno

August 6, 2011 in News by TMC

ICARUS WITCH ICARUS WITCH On Tour With Paul Di’Anno Now; Album Release Date Nears

Pittsburgh’s masters of traditional metal ICARUS WITCH are on the road right now alongside original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di’Anno! Not only are ICARUS WITCH direct support for the full tour, the band are also acting as Di’Anno’s backing band, taking on double-duty every night of the tour, which hits NYC tonight.

ICARUS WITCH have completed their third full-length album entitled Draw Down The Moon which is to be released February 9th through Cleopatra Records/Koch Distribution. The nine-track release sees the band in a more mature, yet increasingly aggressive song writing mode, stripped of the extraneous bells and whistles of synths and samples and just straight-up rocking out! The band was recently described as having a “Heavy influence of Iron Maiden combined with good old fashioned hard/rock metal production and great musicianship” by Don Jamieson, host of VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show.

ORWELL Pure Midwestern American Metal

July 16, 2011 in News by TMC

ORWELL Wisconsin’s given birth to a potent and proud young metal beast which answers to the name ORWELL. Escaping current “for the moment” musical trends, this five-piece attack squad execute massive hooks with extremely professional precision and prowess on their self-released debut full-length Endeavors.

While somewhat reshaping melodic Swedish death metal as mastered by In Flames and Soilwork into a more American style in the vein of Black Dahila Murder or All That Remains, moments of Endeavors also bleed with a bit of stoner metal one might attribute to Corrosion of Conformity or Down. Scorching solos and lead guitar tracks flow into epic buildups while going head-to-head with destructive death metal and mosh-driven thrash elements, all developing the energetic and empowering flow for the ten tracks of the band’s impressive debut.

The entire Endeavors album is available for free streaming here: http://www.earsplitcompound.com/site/?p=179.

ORWELL are also one of the 20 contenders in the Metal Insider “No Labels Needed” Contest, where bands are competing for a chance to record an EP with MACHINE (Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, etc): http://www.metalinsider.net/nolabelneeded/.

MERAUDER Announce USA and Mexico May 2010 Tour

April 21, 2010 in News by TMC

MERAUDER NYHC kingpins MERAUDER have locked down a string of new live dates for May throughout North America. They kick off the brutality with a pair of California shows, followed by MERAUDER’s headlining appearance at 5/9 Fest in Las Vegas where they’ll be filming for an upcoming DVD. Following the fest they’ll play their way south and cross the border into Mexico for a five-date stretch. They round out the end of the month with two shows in New York (Albany/Brooklyn) alongside state-mates All Out War. They’ve also been confirmed to play the Metalliaurinko Festival in Harjavalta, Finland in early June.

Check out the USA/Mexico tour poster, as well as the poster and video trailer for the 5/9 Fest at this location
http://www.earsplitcompound.com/site/?p=515

MERAUDER’s latest album God Is I was released last August, their first for Regain Records. Quoted as being the hardcore assassins’ most brutal album to date, the stylized crunch of God Is I shows the band at their most inspired and invigorated in years with its runaway freight train grooves, mid-pace stomps, seething gang vocals and death metal drenched riffs all built into the band’s patented metallic hardcore delivery.

MANIMAL: Acclaimed Album And Interviews Available Now

February 24, 2010 in News by TMC

MANIMAL When MANIMAL’s debut album hit their home country of Sweden last year, the band entered the official Swedish album chart at an impressive #36. For a metal newcomer that’s quite sensational. Well-known record label AFM Records thought so, and immediately signed MANIMAL for a world-wide release of the album. The Darkest Room has since received top ratings from the media, including a massive 7/7 in one of Germany’s largest metal magazines, Metal Hammer.

The Darkest Room consists of nine tracks all characterized by the typical hard-rocking, melodic and progressive MANIMAL style, blending elements of Queensrÿche and Rammstein, joined by high-pitched vocals in true Judas Priest spirit. The hard, modern sound of the album is a result of the band’s cooperation with producer Tobias Lindell, known for his previous work with dozens of contemporary acts including Mustach, and was the producer of the latest Europe album. With the release of The Darkest Room, the band have broken new grounds in the distinctive Gothenburg metal scene.
