Hellveto - Record Deal With Dark Symphonies
HELLVETO SIGN TO DARK SYMPHONIES
DARK SYMPHONIES is very honored to announce the signing of Poland's
Elite black metal band HELLVETO! Having already gained worldwide
acclaim with several important releases including their last two full
length releases IN ARMS OF KURPIAN PHANTOM (2003) and KLATWA (2005),
HELLVETO is now prepared to unleash their most epic work to date with
their Dark Symphonies debut entitled ZMIERZCH. Translated literally to
mean "dusk," Zmierzch takes the listener back to those forgotten times
when the ancient beliefs were forged by the fires of the true Pagan
spirits. HELLVETO is the artistic expression of one enigmatic figure
L.O.N. who has skillfully executed all the music and designed the
spectacular artwork and layout for Zmierzch. For those uninitiated with
the sound of HELLVETO, take the epic keyboard sounds of Summoning and
folk sensibilities of early Vintersorg and blend it within the melodic
splendor and power of Emperor and Limbonic Art, and one begins to
approach the grim and glorious grandeur that is HELLVETO!
Recorded at LS Studio and Burnt Laboratory in Poland, during the
summer/autumn of 2005, ZMIERZCH contains 10 brand new tracks with over
50 minutes of True Pagan Black Metal Music! Dark Symphonies has set the
official world wide release date for TUESDAY MARCH 21, 2006! The first
1,000 copies will included a limited edition poster designed by L.O.N.
Track listing for Zmierzch:
1. U zmierzchu bram
2. Hrabia karpackich szczytow
3. Krwawy swit
4. Uspione herezje
5. Szepty bitewnych pol
6. W ramionach klatwy
7. Daje wam potegi smak
8. Zawsze trwal bede...
9. Na swych barkach niose wam smierc
10 ....ktos ty?

TME - A Project To Aphotic Records
TME - Vintersorg Guitarist, Fission Drummer Sign Project To Aphotic Records
2006-01-09 16:43:36
According to TME's MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/generator666), the band started out as an idea of guitarist Mattias Marklund (Vintersorg, Casket Casey) and drummer Benny Hägglund (Fission) in late summer, 2002. Their goal was to create old school thrash-metal.
In need of a vocalist and a rhythm guitarist they invited Andreas Stenlund to play the rhythm guitar and handle the screams.
The first rehearsal sessions took place in the dark winter of 2002/2003. Several songs were written and Patrik Pettersson joined in on bass.
However, in fall 2003 the project was laid to rest for a while, only to return in full force in late summer 2004. Some more songs were written and in April, 2005 TME entered the studio to record the drums for their demo CD.
The result was seven recorded songs, which were completed in DeadSound studios during the summer.
The following update has now been posted at the group's MySpace page:
"We are pleased to announce that they signed to the newly started American label Aphotic Records! The masterminds behind Aphotic Records have another label called Blood And Guts Records and have among others released Mattias' and Patrik's project Casket Casey. You´ll find the link to Aphotic Records MySpace site down below!
As you know we have since recorded our first promo and have been rehearsing and writing new material. So, we will continue with that during the next weeks and start to record the record as soon as possible!
Be sure to expect some fast and bone crushing trash-metal from TME!"
