Necrophagist: (www.necrophagist.de)

NECROPHAGIST's stunning new album, "Epitaph" is in stores now!

Uniting head-spinning musicianship, incredibly elaborate arrangements and an acute sense of dynamics within composition, NECROPHAGIST have reset the bar for complexity and technique in modern-day death metal. NECROPHAGIST's powerful riffs, mind-blowing sweeps and arpeggios, crisp and crushing percussion and intricately designed songs are at once unequalled and uncompromising.

- "Thunderously metallic" - CHART.


Mastodon "Leviathan"

Relapse Records recording artists MASTODON have completed work on their highly anticipated new album, entitled Leviathan.
The follow up to the band's heralded Remission album, Leviathan was recorded at both Robert Lang Studios (NIRVANA, BAD COMPANY, FOO FIGHTERS) and Litho Studios (DEFTONES, SOUNDGARDEN) in Seattle with producer Matt Bayles. Based in part on Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick, MASTODON's Leviathan is slated for an August 31st U.S. release date and a September 13th European release date via Relapse. The final track listing for Leviathan is "Blood & Thunder", "I Am Ahab", "Seabeast", "Iceland", "Iron Tusk", "Megalodon", "Naked Burn", "Aqua Dementia", "Hearts Alive" and "Joseph Merrick".

"Mastodon´s thundering musical muscle, talent and vast sea of ideas triumphantly unite on Leviathan, delivering heavy, organic music that melds exhilarating ambitiousness with a well-honed accessibility. Leviathan´s staggering proportion, unstoppable momentum and anthemic roar wholly underlines Mastodon´s vibrant spirit and majestic, heartfelt delivery."
