After their last release on Southern Lord, PLANKS will put out their third full-length record entitled via their new Label: Golden Antenna. The three Germans prove that they dare to change and reinvent their sound yet again. The new album shows another leap away from their HC/Doom/Sluge roots into more song-focused and melody driven spheres. A glooming melancholy fills the room, supported by the matching artwork and lyrics. 'Funeral Mouth' is yet another concept record. It deals with observations of people deemed unlivable by their inner feelings.From a musical perspective the record resembles a river that flows and morphs while remaining the same entity all the time. Imagine a blend of Junius, Russian Circles, Breach, Darkthrone, Alice In Chains and The Cure.

Live today – die tomorrow! The opener of the new album of Hamburg-based Glam-Goth-shooting-stars Lord Of The Lost is like a battle cry that runs like a thread through all the new songs: honest, direct, energy-laden, prone to experimentation, raw and as catchy as never before! Vocal acrobat Chris “The Lord” Harms and his lads are performing their new material as if there is no tomorrow while unleashing all of the verve that makes them an unrivalled live act in a collection of tunes that defy conventions. On “Die Tomorrow”, Death Metal flirts with Disco, Industrial with Electronica, Goth with Pop, only to culminate in a Art-Rock-esque grand finale, while fusing this diversity of styles like it is the most natural thing in the world.

Finland’s death metallers DECAYING have set "The Last Days Of War" as the title of their of their new full-length album. The record will feature eight tracks, clocking in at approximately 46 minutes, and is tentatively due for release in early 2013 through Hellthrasher Productions. Regarding how the upcoming album compares to 2011's critically acclaimed “Encirclement”, vocalist and guitarist Matias Nastolin said: “Musically "The Last Days Of War" is going to have a little more doom metal influences than "Encirclement" had, perhaps it's more in the vein of our first release "Devastate". Nevertheless all of the songs mangle their way forward like a sledgehammer - really heavy, generally mid paced and riff oriented. Even the doomier parts won't slow the songs down, and we think everything remains interesting from the start to finish.
