Starting today, Hails & Horns is hosting an exclusive stream of Rex Shachath’s “Sepulchral Torment” EP in its entirety. Check out the full EP via Hails & Horns! Having formed in late 2011, North Ireland’s Rex Shachath clearly wasted no time in concocting a storming death metal sound that perpetuates the raw and malevolent spirit of genre pioneers such as Autopsy, Grave and Aspyx and is now unleashed through their debut EP “Sepulchral Torment”. The Irishman may be young, but they already mastered the vital and true elements of old school death metal as “Sepulchral Torment” sees them fusing raw, feral riffs, severe, pounding drums and caveman growls with demoniacal results. Released on September 07 via Hostile Media, the EP really summons the demons of Autopsy, Grave and Aspyx to the surface and is a solid indicator thatRex Shachath are on their way to becoming one of the most promising death metal acts from the UK.

Multi-talented industrial rock/metal/dubstep crossover masterminds BLACKBURNER are set to release second album PLANET EARTH ATTACK on September 25 via Cleopatra/Hypnotic Records. Featuring guest appearances from legendary Star Trek actor WILLIAM SHATNER and members of the prog rock back YES, PLANET EARTH ATTACK further illustrates the bold creativity Blackburner has become known for. Crossing EDM genres of dupstep, glitch, and house with progressive rock, industrial, and noise, the 17-track collection is a journey from depths to heights and back with beats that physically resonate. On “Apocalypse,” vocalist Jessica Jean adds an ethereal edge to the dystopian anthem, while “In Love With The City” infuses a more progressive house sound highlighted by singer Geri X. The single “50 Grades of Space “ is the definitive example of Blackburner’s ability to aurally transport the body and mind with sonic manipulation of tempo and intensity. - HELLOWEEN - New Album “Straight Out Of Hell” out January 18th
