DECAPITATED - The Blasphemous Psalm To The Dummy God Creation

why do i have to feel this pain
when all you had to say 
was go away
you expect me to move on
and maybe i have, but
im certainly not okay 
oooo im not okay 
haunted by the thought of you
moving me aside 
like my feelings don’t matter
caught up in the things you do
oh what a ride it’s been 
yearning for what i’m after 
you taught me i deserve better 

i don’t want to be another afterthought 
so i went out back and burnt the letter
i’m done with it all now
let’s change the weather
like you change lovers 
yeah (one last time) 

tell me all your lies
as if you don’t care 
that i’m dead or alive
who the fuck you kidding 
with all your problems
and your stupid disguise 
oooo stupid disguise
thinking about what i’d do
if it was just me and you 
left on the planet 
drinking away all my sorrows
left all alone
i guess i couldn’t handle it
but what’s on my mind
is one last time to cross the line

i don’t want to be another afterthought 
so i went out back and burnt the letter
i’m done with it all now
let’s change the weather
like you change lovers 

oh you’re sad? 
well i don’t really give a fuck
GO!

you had the chance
to fall in love with this
but you rather be the one
to take the piss
all my life i’ve been 
the last one the get a kiss
now all you’re left with 
is the thought of what you 
fucking missed 

i don’t want to be another afterthought 
so i went out back and burnt the letter
i’m done with it all now
let’s change the weather
like you change lovers 
one last time
one last time

One Last Time

Legendary death metal juggernaut HATE ETERNAL, the brainchild of extreme metal luminary Erik Rutan, has unleashed its long-awaited new album 'Infernus'. The band's first new album in four years, 'Infernus' doubles down on their patented, high-velocity assault of dizzying death metal ferocity, and melds it with the best songwriting of their career. Songs such as "The Stygian Deep", "Pathogenic Apathy", "Zealot, Crusader of War", "Infernus" and more see a band as dynamic as they are brutal. 'Infernus' is HATE ETERNAL's tour-de-force and arguably the best death metal record of 2015.

Imperium Dekadenz - Still I Rise (Official track premiere)

On November 25th, Chicago-based death doom collective COKEGOAT will drop the torrential fruit of their latest full-length, Drugs And Animals, upon unsuspecting souls. Engineered, produced, and mixed by Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos, Like Rats) at Bricktop Recording and mastered by Carl Saff (Unsane, Red Fang, Earthless et al) at Saff Mastering, the nihilistic sounds of Drugs And Animals displays the unit manifesting their own unique brand of heavy, sullen music. The post/doom/death/heavy metal sextet layers Jeff Wojtysiak, Ed Nudd ,and Rebekah Brown on guitars, synths and vocals, while Chase Bentley, Tim Baldwin, and Jordan Schultz add mass with guitar, bass and drums respectively. Six members strong. Six years in the making. Six musical voices.

Comments the band on Drugs And Animals: "Drugs And Animals is a tall refreshing Long Island Ice Tea in a craft cocktail world. It's trashy, it will fuck you fuck up, and you'll probably wake up in a strange place needing a double does of antibiotics. To quote producer/engineer Andy Nelson during the Drugs And Animals recording sessions, 'This album is dense.' [sic] Since our 2013 debut LP Vessel, countless group texts have helped COKEGOAT achieve growing friendships, razor sharp focus, mental stability, financial instability and a more advanced writing process. In other words we are beyond stoked to get this record to your earholes."

Drugs And Animals will be release released digitally and on 180-gram 12” vinyl late next month via the official COKEGOAT Bandcamp page.

Founded in the Windy City during the summer of 2011, COKEGOAT embraces the inherent evil of the earth and the soul. Planets dying, earth eating man, ocean birthing fear, moon swallowing heavens… 2013 saw the release of the debut album Vessel. Sludgelord gushed, “Vessel is an album of distorted chaos… chaotic, angry, brilliant, and bewitching.” New Noise concurred, “Vessels is one hell of a debut. This bitch has balls. But quickly flashes some groove… Here we have ‘three guitarists, three voices, synths, bass and drums,’ kept on a production leash that adds an urgency to the manic time changes. Which crush. The atmospheric layers are just touches. They add mood but never take center stage. This is about riffs, but COKEGOAT know where to accent their talents as well.” 

Part weed, all beer, soaked with good times, one COKEGOAT member has been kicked out of every band he’s ever been in. One has a positive word to say about every band he has ever seen and will travel to any city with a brewery. Another has a serious gear trading problem. Three guitars, three voices, bass, drums, and synths, together they ponder how a goat with a cocaine problem would act. They guess that goat would fuck your face off with riff heavy music that tastes like fresh flesh. What… You ask? They answer… Hell yes.

Metal Blade Records history by Dan Slessor:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalogue, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it strides into its fourth decade.

What perhaps makes this achievement all the more notable is the fact that Slagel never even intended to start a label. Working in an LA record store and writing for various publications, Slagel was acutely aware that many great bands in the local metal scene were being ignored, and he decided to release a compilation of tracks drawn from these ranks. "There were a lot of really good bands and I was just bummed out that nobody could hear them. It just seemed like I could help them out and have some fun at the same time, and that compilation was the first Metal Massacre," he states. Collating tracks from then unknown bands including Ratt, Bitch, Cirith Ungol, and Metallica amongst others, the compilation sold out immediately. "How important is Metal Blade to our career? They're only the reason we are enjoying the worldwide success we have today," states Metallica's James Hetfield. "Without Brian's openness to some raunchy teens with a crap sounding cassette tape we would be who knows where, and playing who knows what!" With the popularity of the tape spurring Slagel on, the first seeds of Metal Blade were sown. "After the success of those compilations I just started putting out records of bands that I was friends with, but without ever really intending it to be a label at all," he explains. "After I put out four or five releases I started to feel like something was happening, and I decided to quit the record store and quit college and see where it went."

Battling through the first few lean years, when the label consisted solely of Slagel working out of his mom's poorly ventilated garage in the San Fernando Valley, it gradually grew in both revenue and stature. Within a few years Metal Blade would go on to release the debuts of Slayer, Armored Saint, Trouble, and Corrosion Of Conformity amongst others, fanning the flames of the burgeoning metal scene and launching careers of bands that would go onto reap global success. "Without Metal Blade, there is a damn good chance we never would've made it out of L.A," says Slayer's Kerry King. "That was the one bit of luck we needed. You can be the most awesome band on the scene, and if no one notices you, you don't catch on. And Brian Slagel is still one of the biggest metalheads I know!" This genuine love and devotion to metal is central to the relationship many of the artists have with Metal Blade, and King Diamond credits much of its relevance and strength to this passion. "I refer to it as having 'boots on the ground'," the mighty Dane states. "It's not like a major label where some people might be into what you're doing but a lot of them just see it as a job – there's a genuine love for metal there. Through staying true to that and doing their own thing they've carved out a very specific niche that they control, and as an artist it's wonderful to be a part of that."over the years. Clearly without those people we couldn't do what we do, and to everyone out there who has helped us along by being a fan we are so very grateful to you."
