Norway's blackened thrashers AURA NOIR will release their fifth full-length studio ablum, "Out To Die", on March 23 via Indie Recordings.

Speaking to Terrorizer magazine shortly after a recent listening session in Oslo, AURA NOIR guitarist/vocalist Aggressor stated about the band's new CD, "It feels right. That's all I can say really. I'm not sitting here digging it; it's more like I'm content with having the finished product there, and now we can go play live. Because I think our music comes into its element when we're playing live. For me, a new album is like, 'Okay, we have more songs to play live now.'"

"Out To Die" marks the return of guitarist Rune Eriksen (a.k.a. ex-MAYHEM guitarist/songwriter Blasphemer), who now resides in Portugal and leads his own band AVA INFERI. Eriksen made several trips back to Norway to work on the new AURA NOIR songs with Aggressor and Apollyon (guitar, bass, vocals, drums; also bassist in IMMORTAL).

"I wish we were all living in the same apartment and rehearsing every day, all three of us together, but obviously that's not possible because we have our private lives and everything," Aggressor told Terrorizer. "But it brought about some new ways of working, and it actually worked out okay in the end."

"Out To Die" track listing:

01. Trenches
02. Fed To The Flames
03. Abbadon
04. The Grin From The Gallows
05. Withheld
06. Priest's Hellish Fiend
07. Deathwish
08. Out To Die

The 4th album of Ukrainian multi-instrumentalist MUNRUTHEL will immerse you in the fantastic world of GOTHIC even without its game space.
Each track is composed for a definite game location or situation, that’s why listening to this soundtrack you can join tense battles against a giant monster or orcish hordes, feel chilling horror of old cemeteries with their revived dangerous dwellers, lose your way in the depths of the untrodden Forest, sitting on the ancient ruins recall fallen warriors and brave campaigns in days of old, drink some rum with pirates in a tavern, and take a rest among the songs of birds and Nature’s rampage in hunters’ camp...

The music won’t leave indifferent either computer gaming geeks, or just admirers of quality atmospheric music. Welcome to the World of the Dark Saga!

01. Main Theme
02. The thick Wood
03. ...and the Story has begun
04. In those Times when Earth was breathing
05. The Huntsmen's Camp
06. The old Fort
07. The Graveyard
08. The Temple of the Skull
09. The Pirates' Bay
10. The Orks' Lair
11. The Ancient Ruins
12. The Deathland
13. Drums of Doom

Proclamation “Nether Tombs Of Abaddon” Album Coming Soon.
And many of those who sleep in the grave shall awake: some to everlasting life and some to shame and eternal abhorrence.

Le nouvel album de Proclamation, intitulé "Nether Tombs Of Abaddon", devrait sortir très prochainement via Nuclear War Now.

http://www.nwnprod.com/

ut in mid-January 2012 under Nuclear War Now!/Ross Bay Cult

And thus spoke the impious fraternity of the heinous ones. AMEN! And so the blasphemous acrostic was completed, as the fourth wind finally came blowing with razer destructive wrath what once spawned among profaned graves and defiled temples, completing the circle of the ancient and early initiation rites.

Proclamation prophesied their major rituals as four pillars of supreme desecration and unbearable turpitude, being “Nether Tombs of Abaddon” the last one and the vilest of them all.

While some bands evolve expanding their creative horizons intruding further on wider fields, this unholy trio isolates itself on the obsolete, the conservative, the orthodoxy, the tradition and their maniacal idolatry for the authentic underground cult. Paradoxically, such a static creative dirge doesn’t necessarily mean that this new and final tormenting opus of naughty beastliness is a plain violation attack. In fact is their most distinctive and diverse assault. Without denying nor abjuring even a single code of their narrow minded integrity, they’ve evocated a ritualism of slightly less reverberating vociferations but have certainly evoked a hundredfold infernal armageddon on which is their definitive and most unchaste offence.

Just succumb and kneel before the swarm of the possessed chained avernal voices that rape everything in sight throughout its entire length. Feel the grinding punishment of those prehistoric primitive drumming reminiscent of the Brazilian hammering. Follow the mesmerizing and bow to the simplicity of those hurtfulness bass lacerating lashes. Adore the anti liturgic rudeness of their crude riffing and the abyssal shrieks of their unmistakable solos. Adhere to the imagery of their graveyard marauding which is in fact as unique and as much of their very own by decree, as the Ross Bay and Bonfim sects. Surrender to a venomous vocational offering which as the apocalyptic final manifest it is, grows on an in crescendo of truculence which culminates on an orgy of mayhemic onslaughts of unpredictable proportions, due to the total lack and unallowance of niceties, brought mercilessly by this amoral horde.

The cursing conventicle that unchristened their style as Ritualistic Black Death Hecatomb in the initiating stage of their demo days, has surpassed on their climax of vengeance the threshold of the macabre and the unbelievable by far, achieving a sound which is more than music: the deafening muttering roar of hell itself.

Norwegian avantgarde metallers BORKNAGAR have completed work on their new studio album with Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KATATONIA) in Örebro, Sweden. Entitled "Urd", the CD will be released on March 26 in Europe and March 27 in North America via Century Media Records.

Commented BORKNAGAR mastermind Øystein G. Brun: "The cover and design for 'Urd' is spot on when it comes to portraying the very core of the band. This time around we wanted an earthly expression through our cover and general design to support and empower the main themes on the album. You can almost smell and feel the texture of the old Norse wooden carvings — still there is a sophisticated and eclectic approach to the expression that entwines perfectly into the music. Marcelo Vasco enhanced our ideas into brilliance, he painted the face of the beast that is about to be unleashed..."

"Urd" track listing:

01. Epochalypse
02. Roots
03. The Beauty Of Dead Cities
04. The Earthling
05. The Plains Of Memories
06. Mount Regency
07. Frostrite
08. The Winter Eclipse
09. In A Deeper World

01. The chosen ones
02. The universal wrath
03. False words of prophets
04. In the hell of eternal depths
05. Become nothing
06. The king of slaves
07. A mountain of crosses

01. Im Gartn
02. Nachteule
03. Sterna
04. Beagliachda
05. Håbergoaß
06. Wedaleichtn
07. Geisterwoid
08. Reng

01. mirage of a star
02. nacht
03. and utter emptiness
04. the collapse of all that has been
05. manifest of the crestfallen
06. 1709
07. in stille
08. anguish
09. futile words
