SoulHealer "Dead Man Walking" is taken from forthcoming new album "Bear the Cross" - release date: October 17th, 2014 @ Pure Legend Records - available as CD and DIGITAL DOWNLOAD @ PURE STEEL SHOP

Formed in 2009 SoulHealer from Finland made their debut with their second album "Chasing The Dream" on our sub label Pure Legend Records.
And now, only a bit more than one year later, we can proudly announce the third strike "Bear The Cross"!  And the quintet does not leave their chosen path. The guys from the north still indulge Heavy Metal in the very melodic style, in the likes of happy harmonies from STRATOVARIUS, HELLOWEEN and similar bands, with filigree, sometimes double lead, guitar work, combined with unique and trenchant vocals. Most times staying in mid-tempo or using riffs inspired by ACCEPT ("The Viper's Kiss"), they don`t hesitate to push the pedal with some more speedy songs ("Unleash The Beast", "Fall From Grace", Revealed”). On “Bear The Cross” it was again Janne Tolso in the "Note-On"-Studio in Kuopio, who gave the new album the same differentiated transparent sound, which already worked perfectly on the previous record. And also the cover artwork was made one more time from one of the most famous artists in that genre: Timo Wuerz.
So if you liked "Chasing The Dream" the new album will be an obligation!

1. Unleash The Beast

Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia and Opeth members. 
Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror & the glory days of death metal (especially the old Florida & Stockholm ‘Sunlight’ scenes), the band has remained a leading light of extreme metal since their Breeding Death EP was unleashed back in 2000, and a formidable force for 15 years, further cemented by their devastating - and most successful album to date – ‘The Fathomless Mastery’ in 2008.

Recorded once again at Ghost Ward Studios and the City of Glass Studios in Stockholm, and mixed by David Castillo, ‘Grand Morbid Funeral’, Bloodbath’s fourth full-length studio release, is undoubtedly the band’s darkest and dirtiest opus yet; an organic collection of filth-ridden tracks straight from the grave, boldly eschewing the approach of somewhat over-produced modern death metal in favour of something altogether more rotten to the bone. 

With doom-like melodies mixed with raw and savage riffing, and featuring a number of guest appearances including Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler from US gore-masters Autopsy, ‘Grand Morbid Funeral’ is a new high-point of brutality for Bloodbath. 

Blakkheim (guitars):
"We're proud of all these different styled releases and we loved doing each and every one of them, but the objective was never to settle with a certain style, so the time has come to shift once more. It was already decided right after the last album that the next record would not be a "Fathomless part 2", but it would actually become its antithesis! So prepare yourselves for an ultimate blueprint of low-fi, raw, heavy, organic and sludgy death metal sound! The time has come to stomp those HM-2 pedals once more and close the circle of the death metal archives with our Grand Morbid Funeral"

Bloodbath is set to appear on a string of festivals throughout 2015, including Inferno festival in Norway, and the US’s Maryland Deathfest.

MOONSPELL - Extinct

Dødheimsgard, Norway’s premier experimental extremists have completed work on their fifth album, titled ‘A Umbra Omega’, and set for release on March 16th on Peaceville Records. https://www.burningshed.com/store/peaceville/collection/403/
One of the top bands and boundary-pushing visionaries of the mid-90’s Norwegian Black Metal evolution, having released 4 full-length albums since their inception, DHG are widely hailed as masters of dark & psychotic psychedelia-tinged extremity.

The first fruits of DHG’s re-animated labour manifest in the shape of new studio album, ‘A Umbra Omega’, with original co-founding member Aldrahn (Thorns/The Deathtrip) making a return to the asylum on vocal duties alongside Vicotnik’s exquisite & unconventional compositions & structures. 

‘A Umbra Omega’ is DHG’s first album since 2007’s ‘Supervillain Outcast’ opus, and undoubtedly marks the band’s most challenging work to date; twisted, technical, sprawling epics & an inverted outlook on existence from the depths of band mastermind/writer/producer Vicotnik, with similarities drawn to previous classic DHG  works such as ‘666 International’ and ‘Satanic Art’. A raw and organic production permeates the album courtesy of Vicotnik himself, with the album mastered at Strype Audio in Oslo by Tom Kvålsvoll.

Dødheimsgard was formed in 1994 by Vicotnik & Aldrahn. The early incarnation was that of a raw and melodic black metal band, with their debut album also featuring Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass, before the poisons of a more avantgarde & schizophrenic concoction started to take hold.

MOONSPELL - Lickanthrope

"Farewell To The Past" is taken from the actual album "Frozen Time" - release date: November 09, 2012 @ Pure Legend Records - available as CD and digital download
The Swiss power-metal-band PERTNESS is active since 1993 and they have recorded two demos and two studio-albums (both released via Karthago
Records) since then. Especially their debut “Seven Times Eternity” 
(2008) had a lot of positive reviews. We are happy to welcome PERTNESS at Pure Steel Records!
Two years after their second album “From the Beginning to the End” the band presents their next album “Frozen Time”, which features a fat production and lots of innovative ideas. Sometimes the guitars even sound like melodic death-metal, because the sound is rather brutal and powerful. But they still give you the typical power-metal flair. This new CD also offers you harmonic twin-guitars, double-bass drumming and Tom Schluchter’s powerful, rather deep vocals. Some of the songs even contain some folklore-harmonies which are combined very well with the basic power-metal sound (“Cold Wind of Death”, “I Sold my Remorse”, “Lost in Time”). The song “The Star of the County Down” sounds even more like a metallic version of some Irish folk-song.
All fans of innovative and varied metal with traditional influences will be thrilled by this new album!

Over fifteen years ago, a story of success began in the Austrian town of Eisenerz. What started out as a one-person operation in a cramped living-room, became one of the biggest record labels of the independent scene. Fans of the heavier genres have long come to know Napalm Records for its numerous metal releases, many of which have reached cult status.

In the beginning, Napalm Records focused mainly on the black metal releases of bands like ABIGOR and SUMMONING. Although both managed to create a style all of their own, SUMMONING in particular was most successful in taking their unique atmospheric style way past the European borders to reach an unbelievable level of notoriety on an international level.

But Napalm Records didn't stop there. Never shying away from unexplored paths of innovative musical styles and genres, the label supported artists that would later become known as the legendary pioneers and originators of the Pagan/Folk Metal genres, including the revered VINTERSORG and FALKENBACH.

Over the course of the years, Napalm Records searched for new talent and expanded its roster considerably by adding doom, power, symphonic and gothic metal to their ever-growing list. Within the gothic metal genre, THE SINS OF THY BELOVED, SIRENIA, and TRISTANIA were able to create quite a stir and successfully establish themselves among the best. In recent years, LEAVES' EYES, ELIS, MIDNATTSOL, KATRA, and EDENBRIDGE have also managed to join this illustrious group. With these releases, Napalm Records was able to widen its audience and soon felt encouraged to expand the variety of bands it would support.

Yet Napalm Records' folk metal focal point never strayed and the label continued helping bands like KORPIKLAANI, GLITTERTIND, TÝR, and ALESTORM achieve international notoriety.

The medieval rockers SALTATIO MORTIS, the "rock 'n' sad" initiators LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE, and scene icons ATROCITY, GRAVE DIGGER, and LEAVES' EYES helped Napalm Records become a household name among mainstream audiences by entering the charts repeatedly. With SALTATIO MORTIS, Napalm Records achieved the highest chart entry to date. "Wer Wind Saet" entered the German Media Control charts at number 10.

More recently, Napalm Records has embraced the rock and stoner rock scene with big-name signings such as MONSTER MAGNET, KARMA TO BURN, and BRANT BJÖRK.

One of the latest bands to join the Austrian label’s roster of celebrated artists is the US formation SEVENTH VOID, which boasts of two former members of the legendary TYPE O NEGATIVE, very keen on keeping their legacy alive. More recent signings include THE SORROW, LONELY KAMEL, HUNTRESS, and the doom legend CANDLEMASS.

However, Napalm Records does not only limit its operation to the support and development of new talent or the release of its artists' recordings. The label's own mail order service has been providing satisfied customers with the fastest delivery, unbeatable prices, and a top-notch service for many years. Over 15,000 items (CDs, vinyl, merchandise, etc.) are waiting to be discovered both in the biannually published print catalog and in the well organized, easy-access online store.

The Napalm Records Handels GmbH headquarters and center of operations, including the aforementioned mail order service, are located in Eisenerz, Austria and currently employ 13 people. A second office located in Austin, Texas, employs 3 people, while a third employee works for the label from Canada. Napalm Records also enjoys a close working relationship with an extensive worldwide network of A&R consultants and local promoters.

Last but not least, Napalm Records also boasts of its own publishing house. Over the years, IRON AVANTGARDE PUBLISHING has handled the rights to innumerable works from the most diverse of authors.
