WINTERSUN: "TIME I" Cover Artwork Unveiled

This short but significant excerpt of the track „Sons of Winter And Stars“ not only is the wake-up call for everyone interested in music, it´s the battle cry of a band that released their self-titled debut album eight long years ago and had had to live up to the highest expectations and pressure of time for the eagerly awaited successor ever since. As „Wintersun“ turned out to be a critically-acclaimed masterpiece of musical art, the band unintentionally found themselves facing the situation of having to out-do their previous work, and soon.

2012 it´s finally time to unleash WINTERSUN´s second full-length album „TIME I“. Over the course of eight years the band have taken both music and visuals to yet another level and while listening to their new effort you´ll be taken on a journey through the doors of time, a journey beyond the stars, beyond the birth of the worlds to an infinite universe. 

Finland´s epic metaller will release their long-awaited album „TIME I“ on October 12 before hitting the road in October/November headlining the so-called Heidenfest tour. Recently the band went into the studio with photographer Nana Simelius to shoot the new pictures for the upcoming album and now the breathtakingly beautiful front cover of „TIME I“ has been unveiled.

The band said the following:

"We searched many options who could actually make the cover for TIME I. Cameron´s way of creating art was just something that stood out immediately and we feel it suited best for Jari´s vision as a cover for TIME I. We are really happy for the result and hopefully this collaboration continues in the future releases as well!"

“TIME I” will be released October 12 through Nuclear Blast, the tracklisting looks as follows:

1. When Time Fades Away

2. Sons of Winter and Stars

I Rain of Stars

II Surrounded by Darkness

III Journey Inside a Dream

IV Sons of Winter and Stars

3. Land of Snow and Sorrow

4. Darkness and Frost

5. Time

ORCHID: „Heretic“ New Song Posted

San Francisco based doom rockers, ORCHID, have announced an EP release featuring 3 brand new songs more 1 track from the latest album, „Capricorn“, on September 7, 2012. The EP, entitled „Heretic“, marks the first release for Nuclear Blast and will be released both 10“ vinyl as well as on digitally . Now the band have posted online a new video featuring the title track of ORCHID's upcoming EP. Check out below.

Tracklist „Heretic“

01. Heretic

02. Falling Away

03. Saviours Of The Blind

04. He Who Walks Alone

Commented guitarist Mark Baker recently: "Late in 2010, after we submitted the „Capricorn“ full length to our label and waited for the release, we realized that there wouldn’t be any extensive touring, so we just kept writing and rehearsing new material. A few months later, we were back in the studio cutting basics for new songs. By the time we finished the business of changing labels, we had way more than one album worth of new songs. We, along with Nuclear Blast, decided it would be a great idea to release a few of those on an EP this year while we wrap up everything for our next full length. We’re really excited for people worldwide to get a chance to check out what we’ve been up to in the last year. These new songs have the classic, anthemic ORCHID sound that people expect from us, along with a few elements that we’ve never shown before".

BEHEMOTH: DEMON ENERGY DRINK Endorsement announced by Nergal, Band Set To Rehearse For New Album In September!

Nergal, the prolific front man of blackened death metal act, BEHEMOTH, announced that he will be endorsing Demon Energy Drink. As in every project Nergal approaches, this will be on his own terms: a portion of the proceeds will benefit the DKMS foundation. The DKMS foundation raises awareness and funds to benefit those diagnoses with various forms of blood cancer. For more information, dkmsamericas.org.

Nergal comments: "Well, I decided to accept the offer to be a face of this energy drink called Demon. I've never been much of a fan of such drinks but I loved the idea behind it… the whole campaign is strongly connected with DKMS foundation (the one that found a bone marrow donor for myself). The percentage of sales will be donated to the foundation and will make this whole business worthwhile for me. Besides, I loved the name and a logo…so why the fuck not?"

There continues to be more great news from the BEHEMOTH camp. The band has announced that they will begin rehearsals for their next album in September...

Nergal elaborates on the upcoming tour dates: "This is what I call the perfect ending of a touring cycle. Finally, we are arriving in Eastern European and South American shores this fall. I know it's been ages…and I know there've been legions waiting for us…on behalf of the band I must say though: the wait is over; we are coming back rejuvenated and hungry! See you all very soon!"

Fraught with so much greed, imperial needs. 
Satisfy your hunger for might and blood! 
With greedy claws the eagle flew 
Leaving chaos and widows on his hunt. 

We do not accept to bear the half-moon on our feet 
Nor to bow, to the laurel wreath! 

"Haec terra mea est" - the urge of your own want 
spurring the horse towards the devastating aint. 
It's the pauper that accrouches - bared indigence 
Your need should cost unnumbered lives! 

might and riches you have sought, 
willing to pay the price in human lives! 

False and fallacious, killing and omnivorous 
depleting the value of human life! 
But we always knew: You came with fortune 
and one day you'd come with steel! 

We did not accept to bear the half-moon on our feet! 
A tort that pays it wage death? 

Well, how does it feel, the blood on your hands? 
I hope you had a ball in effacing lives! 
Well, how does it feel, the blood on your hands? 
I hope the gold you've won bestows your delight! 

...standing at the top of all the ruin you have left... 
watch our wives remigrate with crooked backs...
