Throne Of Katarsis - New Album Details Revealed

Norwegian black metal horde Throne Of Katarsis are planning to release their third album, Ved Graven, this autumn.

Ved Graven (fundamentally translated to "at the grave") is ultimately the darkest material written by the band since their inception in 2004. Cold and raw, and with the bizarre aura of an everlasting funeral, Throne of Katarsis recorded the seven rites of this album over three long nights, recording in total darkness. All instruments and vocals were recorded in a live séance in order to capture the aura the band creates during their convocations. Several guitar leads were added to this sinister mix, as well as an organ, recorded during a late night ceremony at a local church in Norway.

Throne Of Katarsis - New Album In October

Update by Candlelight Records on Facebook.

"October the 24th, a new Black Metal opus sees the darkness of the world. Cold, raw, and with the bizarre aura of an everlasting funeral, Throne Of Katarsis delivers their requiem in honor of the final darkness.

During three long nights the seven rites of this album was recorded. The séance was done in darkness and with poisoned minds, and with a dedication closer to a possession rather than anything else. All instruments and vocal were recorded live in the studio, in order to capture the aura the band creates during their convocations. A couple of guitar leads were added to the mix, and also church organ - recorded at nighttime at a local church during a highly blasphemic ceremony.

The band now consists of four individuals, while earlier being a demonic duo for seven years. The full line up is now: Infamroth (voice, guitar and church organ), Skinndød (guitar), Sanrabb (bass) and Vardalv (drums). The album title Ved Graven can be translated to "At the grave", and is by far the darkest material written by the band to this date. To complete the vision, Njard drew the cover art and Stein Sund assisted the mixing and mastering of the album. This is the band's third studio album, and continues the march towards the funeral."

Arsis - Working On New Album, Demo Song Online

US melodic tech death metallers Arsis are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to 2010's Starve For The Devil. A demo version of a new track, entitled "Since The Shadows", is available for streaming on the band's Facebook.

The band comments: "We are indeed writing a new Arsis album and we want to offer everybody a glimpse into the music that we've been building for the last few months. This is a demo of a new one called "Since The Shadows" and it's from the first batch of songs for the album. It's still early but a musical direction has emerged from the work so far and we think it speaks for itself without any grand pronouncements, so enjoy it and we will see you on the Firewind tour this fall!"

Arsis - N. American Headlining Tour Announced

As confirmed last Friday, Virginia-based melodic tech death metal masters, Arsis, are pleased to announce their headlining tour across North America this upcoming December.

A Tour for the Sick is presented by MetalInjection.net and will include 8 bit metal heroes Powerglove and the Sumerian Records touring juggernaut Conducting From The Grave.

Arsis vocalist/guitarist Jim Malone commented: "What does a band that is notorious for canceling tours, video game induced tendinitis, and a Noah Martin look-a-like all have in common? If you have spent the better part of your existence trying to play 16th triplet arpeggios at 250 bpm you will probably be overcome with joy (or something) to hear that we (meaning Arsis dudes), Powerglove, and Conducting From The Grave are teaming up for a US tour this December. We are beyond stoked for our first headlining tour in support of Starve for the Devil and hope to see you at one (or more) of the tour dates. We promise to 'turn up the hell' on this one and make your weekend (or week night) one that is 'rock hard' and metalificated."

12/01/10 Championship Bar & Grill - Trenton, NJ
12/02/10 Evening Star Music Hall - Niagara Falls, NY
