SIGH - A VICTORY OF DAKINI LIVE (taken From Live: Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022) PeacevilleRecords 2023-06-14 | SIGH - ‘A VICTORY OF DAKINI’ TAKEN FROM ‘LIVE: EASTERN FORCES OF EVIL 2022’OUT ON PEACEVILLE JUNE 16 (June 23 for North America)Pre-order here - sighpeaceville.lnk.to/liveeasternforces2022The song was originally released on Sigh’s visionary album ‘Scorn Defeat’ and the clip here is a new performance captured recently in JapanThe track details the story of a Japanese goddess ‘Dakini’ that rides on a white fox, according to Buddhist religion. Kujaku-Ou is a Japanese manga published around 1988 – 1991 and in it featured a lot of oriental occultism and were often the inspiration behind Sigh’s early material. Originally Dakiki is a goddess from India that would eat human flesh, however in Japan she is considered to be the goddess of sexual lust. Mirai Kawashima: 'A Victory of Dakini" is the opening track of our debut album "Scorn Defeat". I believe the first track of the first album is something special for most bands, and this is true to our case, too. Of course the song is way more primitive and simpler than what we are doing today, but obviously it's got a magic feeling, which we will never ever recapture. "Dakini" is a goddess riding on a white fox in Buddhism. I wrote this song inspired by a Japanese manga, "Kujaku-ou".Sigh online: facebook.com/SIGH-official-page-227550909275instagram.com/sighofficialjapanpeaceville.com/bands/sighopen.spotify.com/artist/4VUguuy2qoVGDMwH1tL7Qr?si=FlPEHEkITWaTgjP9PSj_vg

Wandering into the snowstorm at night and ending up freezing to death. It depicts a somewhat glorified theme of death as a beautiful and unavoidable thing.”The video, directed by Trond-Atle Bokerød, echoes the primordial allure of nature, synonymous with Black Metal, whilst exploring the unforgiving winter that is the song’s subject. After a veil of synthesizers are lifted MORK’s signature Black Metal tonalities are revealed for a mid paced rhythm that eventually gives way to Eriksen’s signature vocals and lachrymose lead lines.

DØDHEIMSGARD (DHG) - ABYSS PERIHELION TRANSIT (taken from Black Medium Current) PeacevilleRecords 2023-03-16 | DØDHEIMSGARD (DHG) - ABYSS PERIHELION TRANSIT - taken from Black Medium Current - the new album due out on 14 April 2023 on Peaceville RecordsPre-orders are available here: dodheimsgard.lnk.to/BMCVideo created by Costin Chioreanu Dødheimsgard return with their exceptional first single ‘Abyss Perihelion Transit’ taken from the forthcoming album “Black Medium Current”. The ten minutes plus track weaves a sombre tapestry incorporating elements of multiple sub genres in the world of Extreme Metal and thematically tackles ideas of epistemological dualism. Regarding the single Vicotnik had the following to say: “The whole album revolves subjectively around perception, experience, psychology, objective/subjective reality vs external pressure, tropes, taboos, the laws of motion/causality which influences one’s life. The subjective perception of reality vs the objective causal effects of reality and how they are bound interact. Epistemological dualism.”I guess mental health, or rather instead of health, let’s call it mental condition is a big topic on this record. Not as in a complaining way, or as a good or bad notion, but rather a subject’s study of his own psychology (en)during everything. Like the ambiguity of Being. What is Being? Is it a meta-physical stratum of subjective emotionally fuelled notions or is Being just explaining a physical object that is, therefore being. Epistemologically I guess these lyrics dwell a lot on naïve realism vs representational realism. Cognitivism vs behaviourism, and then bringing it all to an artist context obviously. So, it is experiential renditioning, not solution driven.”Accompanying the single is a video and single cover art from visionary artist Costin Chiorenau who brings the disparate and incredibly solemn existence of ‘Black Medium Current’s first single to life. Working together both the song and the video evolve over the course of the ten-minute run time to create something truly visionary both in a sonic and visual contextFollow Dødheimsgard: instagram.com/dodheimsgard_officialfacebook.com/DODHEIMSGARDpeaceville.com/bands/dodheimsgard
MORK - TILBAKE TIL OPPRINNELSEN lyric video (taken from DYPET) PeacevilleRecords 2023-03-10 | MORK UNVEIL SECOND SINGLE ‘TILBAKE TIL OPPRINNELSEN’FROM NEW ALBUM DYPET OUT MARCH 24thPREORDER'S ARE AVAILABLE HERE mork.lnk.to/dypet Visualiser created by Matthew VickerstaffFollowing the first single of ‘Bortgang’, Mork reveal ‘Tilbake Til Opprinnelsen’ the second offering of ‘Dypet’Representing a musical journey that reveals more as the track goes on, ‘Tilbake Til Opprennilsen’ begins with melancholic Black Metal tones that are accompanied by an eerie synth theme, which as Thomas Eriksen describes “is representative of the nerves running through the earth.” The concept of regeneration is key to idea of the song which continues to gather momentum until the atmospheric breakdown which is a sonic representation of the beginning of the rebirth. Eriksen mentions: “ ‘Tilbake Til Opprinnelsen’ is an epic track about the world as a whole regretting everything it has made and become, resulting in it erasing everything on its own to then rebuild it all from scratch. The breakdown represents the shift. where the world starts to retract everything and everyone. The high point is when the vocal choir sets in. That is when the oceans are filled, rivers are made, mountains are raised, and the moon is hung upon the night sky yet again. A fitting epic to finish off the album.”ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF TILBAKE TIL OPPRINNELSEN LYRICSBACK TO THE ORIGINSWhat has becomeHere where ugliness crawlsAmongst hurting soulsWith their dirty long fingersA mist is buildingout of an energy of hateThe ground shakesfrom a rumbling far awayThe quake is trembling every stub and treeThe great mountains cracksThe colossus has wakenedFrom the deep sleepIn this moment everything is silencedThe ages is about to change courseThe heavens and the starsBack to a clean paletteIt is a callBack to the originsTo when all things were bornWhen the stars was litHe will hang the moon onto the nightskyRaise the mountains up from the soilHe will pull the rivers into the countrysideFrom the ocean that’s filled by his tearsFollow Morken-gb.facebook.com/MORKOFFICIALinstagram.com/mork.official/?hl=entwitter.com/morkhalden

Aside from the three LPs, this set also includes a ‘Nightfall’ poster, plus eight-page booklet featuring rare band images, and text originally featured in the ‘Behind the Wall of Doom’ book, written by Per Ola Nilsson. Each of the three LPs are also presented in their own sleeves.Candlemass, formed by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm in 1984, is well known for its influential Epic Doom Metal sound, which itself evolved out of the masterful Black Sabbath. Following the legendary and genre-defining debut, ‘Epicus Doomicus Metallicus’ (1986), 'Nightfall' was released just one year later and, alongside 'Epicus…’, is widely hailed as an all-time classic, instrumental in shaping the scene that still exists to this day with its unrivalled melodic Heavy Doom, with the creation of classic anthems such as ‘Dark are the Veils of Death’ and ‘Well of Souls’. On 'Nightfall', joining bass player and main songwriter Leif Edling was vocalist Jan Alfredo Marcolin, better known as Messiah Marcolin, who became a well-established and highly regarded vocalist throughout the Metal world, with his distinguishing and theatrical tones establishing him as an iconic presence in the band until his departure in the early 1990s. http://www.candlemass.se/facebook.com/candlemassinstagram.com/candlemassdoompeaceville.com/bands/candlemass
Mork - Bortgang Lyric Video (taken from the album Dypet) PeacevilleRecords 2023-02-17 | MORK’S FIRST SINGLE ‘BORTGANG’ FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM “DYPET”PRE-ORDERS FOR DYPET ARE AVAILABLE HERE - mork.lnk.to/dypet Lyric video created by Matthew VickerstaffWritten whilst Mork's mainman Thomas Eriksen was on a road trip, ‘Bortgang’ Norwegian for ‘demise’ , was inspired by the beautiful Nordic countryside. Thematically the song explores the idea of legacy and it’s various interpretations from both the perspective of the deceased and those that were left behind.Musically the song showcases a mid-paced style that builds on the signature sound that Mork have been crafting thus far. Exploring more dynamics and representing even more depth than past releases. ‘Bortgang’ shows just how far Mork have come from their humble beginnings ten years ago and is a fantastic introduction to the world of ‘Dypet’. Regarding the song, Thomas Eriksen had the following to say: “One of my most beautiful poems, to date. Written whilst on a roadtrip in Norway, in a beautiful fjord somewhere in western Norway (ca. 2020). The poem is about passing away and what that might mean to you and the ones left behind. The music was also something I was very pleased with, feeling it was the most beautiful piece of music I’ve written thus far. One day I figured to combine the two, and there you have the song.”ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF BORTGANG LYRICSDEMISE (Bortgang)On all of the worlds oceansBeneath endless nights stary skiesA speck in a snowstormThere I once wereAt the end of all the roads of the landIn every nook and krannyA point in the distanceThere I once wereBattles faught and all it’s scarsThe annual rings of the oldest treeThe thousands of heartbeatsThere I once wereAll the tears of sorrowA drop in the pouring rainAmongst your daily habitsThere I once wereFollow Morken-gb.facebook.com/MORKOFFICIALinstagram.com/mork.official/?hl=entwitter.com/morkhalden

SIGH - Shoujahitsumetsu (Taken from Shiki) PeacevilleRecords 2022-12-13 | Shiki - out now on Peaceville Records - available to order here sighpeaceville.lnk.to/ShikiVideo credits:Director: Hiroki Furutani, Nozomu WakaiCamera: Hiroki FurutaniAudio mixed by Lasse LammertTHE NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE JAPANESE LEGENDS. AN OPUS OF DARK & ECLECTIC BLACKENED HEAVY METAL, SHROUDED IN TRADITIONAL EASTERN INFLUENCES. Cult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami & Kazuki Ozeki. Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought in, and Sigh set about recording the masterpiece debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ for Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions, going on to become one of the country’s greatest and most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots. ‘Shiki’ marks the latest chapter in the Sigh legacy and includes some of the band’s heaviest and darkest material for some years; a fine hybrid of at times primitive black metal akin to early influences such as Celtic Frost amid more epic melodic heavy metal riffing and solos. The album also utilises a whole host of instruments to give further texture and dynamics to the compositions and eerie atmosphere, incorporating traditional oriental instruments such as the Shakuhachi & Sinobue flutes.The word "Shiki" itself has various meanings in Japanese such as four seasons, time to die, conducting an orchestra, ceremony, motivation, colour. The two primary themes for the album are "four seasons" and "time to die". The concept and artwork is based around a traditional Japanese poem, and on ‘Shiki’ Mirai explores how at this stage of life he himself is going through Autumn, with Winter coming soon, and so empathises with the contrasting sentimental feelings from watching cherry blossoms (a symbol of spring) in full bloom.Joining Mirai and Dr Mikannibal for this release are Frédéric Leclercq of Kreator, plus US drummer extraordinaire, Mike Heller of Fear Factory, along with an appearance by longtime member Satoshi Fujinami on bass. ‘Shiki’ was recorded across multiple studios, and mixed and mastered by Lasse Lammert at LSD studios in Germany.Follow Sigh: instagram.com/sighofficialjapan

MORK - DEN SVEVENDE FESTNING lyric video (Taken from the Den Svevende Festning EP) PeacevilleRecords 2022-09-16 | Mork’s Den Svevende Festning EP - a limited-edition vinyl ep - six tracks of raw and atmospheric Norwegian black metal, featuring exclusive studio and live material. Out Now on Peaceville RecordsORDER HERE - mork.lnk.to/DenSvevendeFestning Video credit: JeagermediaMork was created by Thomas Eriksen in the town of Halden in Norway during 2004. Mork was primarily a side-project for Eriksen from inception until the debut album release in 2013, & since then the band has rightly earned their accolade as one of the top Norwegian black metal acts of recent years, receiving strong endorsements from their peers, having already amassed five full-length releases in a short period, and including guests from acts such as Darkthrone, Dimmu Borgir, Kampfar and more.Den Svevende Festning vinyl EP features six tracks and over 32 minutes of raw and atmospheric Norwegian black metal, most notably containing exclusive and unreleased material recorded during the Katedralen album sessions, in the shape of the title track (also the theme for the cover image, an old drawing of Fredriksten Fortress in Eriksen’s home-town of Halden), and ‘Ormtunge’. Side A is completed by the alternate arrangement of the track ‘Født Til Å Herske’, previously only available digitally. Side B contains a selection of live tracks from Mork’s recent shows, featuring a series of tracks from the Katedralen opus.Thomas Eriksen comments “Seems we got a tradition going by now, with an EP between each album. I can get use to that! I like the format which allows us to do something a bit different and play around with the material, with albums we obviously need to be more strict.This time I had a couple tracks left over from the Katedralen sessions. The title track "Den Svevende Festning" was always one that I liked and was actually only cut due to the album length. It's fitting having its own EP dedicated to it. "Den Svevende Festning" is a tribute to my hometown of Halden with its majestical Fredriksten Fortress which hovers above the city in the skyline. It's powerful and a good cannonball in the face!"Follow MORK:facebook.com/MORKOFFICIALinstagram.com/mork.officialtwitter.com/morkhaldenhttps://www.morkisebakke.noopen.spotify.com/artist/6txf2ksDlbyt06kNh1m4o7?si=O8jOhZLuQ5qMHmh3jRadpg youtube.com/c/MorkHaldenhttp://peaceville.com/bands/mork

AN OPUS OF DARK & ECLECTIC BLACKENED HEAVY METAL, SHROUDED IN TRADITIONAL EASTERN INFLUENCES. Cult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami & Kazuki Ozeki. Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought in, and Sigh set about recording the masterpiece debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ for Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions, going on to become one of the country’s greatest and most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots. ‘Shiki’ marks the latest chapter in the Sigh legacy and includes some of the band’s heaviest and darkest material for some years; a fine hybrid of at times primitive black metal akin to early influences such as Celtic Frost amid more epic melodic heavy metal riffing and solos. The album also utilises a whole host of instruments to give further texture and dynamics to the compositions and eerie atmosphere, incorporating traditional oriental instruments such as the Shakuhachi & Sinobue flutes.The word "Shiki" itself has various meanings in Japanese such as four seasons, time to die, conducting an orchestra, ceremony, motivation, colour. The two primary themes for the album are "four seasons" and "time to die". The concept and artwork is based around a traditional Japanese poem, and on ‘Shiki’ Mirai explores how at this stage of life he himself is going through Autumn, with Winter coming soon, and so empathises with the contrasting sentimental feelings from watching cherry blossoms (a symbol of spring) in full bloom.Joining Mirai and Dr Mikannibal for this release are Frédéric Leclercq of Kreator, plus US drummer extraordinaire, Mike Heller of Fear Factory, along with an appearance by longtime member Satoshi Fujinami on bass. ‘Shiki’ was recorded across multiple studios, and mixed and mastered by Lasse Lammert at LSD studios in Germany.Follow Sigh: instagram.com/sighofficialjapan
AUTOPSY - MORBIDITY TRIUMPHANT - NEW ALBUM TRAILER PeacevilleRecords 2022-07-27 | MORBIDITY TRIUMPHANT - THE LONG-AWAITED FULL-LENGTH RETURN OF THE US DEATH METAL PIONEERS, AUTOPSY, FOR A NEW BOUT OF SUPREME SICKNESSDUE FOR RELEASE ON 30TH SEPTEMBER 2022 ON PEACEVILLE RECORDSPRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE FROM 28TH JULY HERE:autopsy.lnk.to/MorbidityTriumphantSince first bursting onto the death metal scene with the now genre classic ‘Severed Survival’ back in 1989 and following up with the equally revered ‘Mental Funeral’ album, the influential US quartet has carved an unwavering legacy over three decades as masters and purveyors of the vile sides of the extreme metal spectrum. And now, Autopsy marks its reinvigorated return, presenting the first new full-length studio opus since 2014’s ‘Tourniquets, Hacksaws and Graves’ with ‘Morbidity Triumphant’; a savage offering of brutal death, showing the US legends still have an unbridled hunger for the sadistic, never reluctant to step beyond the threshold of decency.‘Morbidity Triumphant’, the band’s eighth album, is truly a dark delight for seasoned and new listeners alike, with a raw organic sound perfectly encapsulating what makes Autopsy so distinguishable among its peers, for what could easily be considered one of its strongest offerings to date.The driving force of Autopsy as ever is the virtuoso guitar pairing of Eric Cutler and Danny Coralles, effortlessly trading off their schizophrenic leads and switching from all-out death metal madness to groove-laden heavy doom, with unmistakable drum/vocal legend Chris Reifert being master of proceedings, spewing his own infinitely creative maniacal musings. ‘Morbidity Triumphant’ also notably marks the first album to feature new bassist Greg Wilkinson, currently also seen in Static Abyss along with Chris.‘Morbidity Triumphant’ was recorded at Opus Studios, with long-associated engineer Adam Munoz at the helm. Mastering was completed by Ken Lee.The cover artwork appears courtesy of Wes Benscoter (Slayer, Bloodbath)instagram.com/autopsyofficial facebook.com/profile.php?id=100050176223094 autopsydeathmetal.bigcartel.com (official Autopsy Merch page)

I have no clue what we did there in the studio deep under the Stockholm subway, but some sort of magic was created. This is a record I would gladly be buried with!”Leif EdlingNow, marking 35 years of the iconic debut, this Candlemas endorsed, deluxe triple vinyl release includes a new remastered version of the album itself, as well as a collection of Candlemass’ essential 1985 recordings preceding the ‘Epicus…’ session, in the form of the ‘Witchcraft’ demo plus the OAL studio recordings, & completed by the band’s Upplands Väsby rehearsal from November of 1985.Each vinyl is presented with its own sleeve, with the ‘Epicus Doomicus Metallicus’ LP containing a layout closely reflecting the original edition, with images used on its initial pressings.

Unlike Jawbone Ritual, this track remains slow and evil from front to back.” explains Greg Wilkinson.Static Abyss’ debut studio album, ‘Labyrinth of Veins’, is an unnerving, multi-layered eerie concoction of dirty doom and death, Chris Reifert states the album themes are to “explore the echoes of insanity manifested through human existence.” The result; a sinister onslaught of, at times, slow and bludgeoning brutal metal whilst at others whipped into a storm of chaotic vile hysterics. The spirit of Autopsy is at times present in the truly titanic riffs swathed in chilling atmospheric guitar leads, whilst Chris’ seemingly bottomless pit of morbid inspiration from the dark & twisted corners of life permeate the release with his highly distinguishable delivery to further the descent into madness.Support the band and follow Static Abyss on their new socialsinstagram.com/static_abyssfacebook.com/staticabyss
Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky - 30th Anniversary edition trailer w/ Fenriz PeacevilleRecords 2022-02-28 | Darkthrone & Peaceville mark the 30th anniversary of the iconic “A Blaze In The Northern Sky” with a strictly limited-edition special anniversary LP. Only 666 copies in a handmade sleeve from Bartek Rogalewicz at Lodge.Black Temple – all numbered and signed by the band. Released through the Peaceville stores only on 24th June 2022. Pre-orders available now – darkthrone.lnk.to/Blaze30And now over to Fenriz .. ’A Blaze In The Northern Sky’, Darkthrone's official second album, was originally released in 1992 and was without question the blueprint for the Black Metal scene, spearheading the evolution of the early second wave movement in Norway & beyond. It was hailed on release as an album of true scene-shifting greatness, following their more death metal focused debut, ’Soulside Journey’.The rawness apparent on the album (recorded at Creative Studios, the same location as Mayhem's legendary Deathcrush was put to tape), was unusual for the time and an antithesis to the usual metal production values & standards during the period. With this, Darkthrone's statement of attitude & intent was clear, and their status as masters of Norwegian black metal was set.Also available - a white coloured vinyl LP / black vinyl LP and CD.facebook.com/Darkthrone-101075189934422 instagram.com/darkthroneofficial

This is a record I would gladly be buried with!”Leif EdlingNow, marking 35 years of the iconic debut, this Candlemas endorsed, deluxe triple vinyl release includes a new remastered version of the album itself, as well as a collection of Candlemass’ essential 1985 recordings preceding the ‘Epicus…’ session, in the form of the ‘Witchcraft’ demo plus the OAL studio recordings, & completed by the band’s Upplands Väsby rehearsal from November of 1985.Each vinyl is presented with its own sleeve, with the ‘Epicus Doomicus Metallicus’ LP containing a layout closely reflecting the original edition, with images used on its initial pressings. The set also includes an 8 page 12” booklet with images from the era and accompanying text, plus A2 poster, as well as a handwritten letter print from founder Leif Edling.http://www.candlemass.se/facebook.com/candlemassinstagram.com/candlemassdoompeaceville.com/bands/candlemass-2 peaceville.com/media/candlemass

A pompous and arrogant power that elevates you above the lesser beings that surrounds you. I create a lot of songs based around sombreness and dark themes, but this track tells you to stand tall and embrace your own and your fellow brothers’ combined strength and anger. I had the privilege of joining forces with Dolk of Kampfar, who contributed with guest vocals on this one. He also joined us for the video. The video was shot and edited by Trond Atle Bokerød and his team.” Follow MORK:facebook.com/MORKOFFICIALinstagram.com/mork.officialtwitter.com/morkhaldenhttps://www.morkisebakke.nohttp://peaceville.com/bands/mork
DARKTHRONE - HIS MASTERS VOICE (from Eternal Hails) PeacevilleRecords 2021-06-25 | "His Masters Voice” from Darkthrone's new album Eternal Hails. Eternal Hails was released on Peaceville Records on 25th June 2021 Order here: darkthrone.lnk.to/EternalHails Video by Matthew Vickerstaff The Norwegian black metal legends, show that within five tracks and 45 minutes on their 19th album, Eternal Hails, they remain defiantly and eternally Darkthrone. Since forming in 1986 as Black Death in Kolboton, Norway, Darkthrone have been masters of their art. Dropping the death metal of 1991’s Soulside Journey debut album in favour of a more primitive, black metal sound on the following year’s A Blaze In The Northern Sky, they helped define black metal in the ‘90s through albums like 1993’s Under A Funeral Moon and its follow-up Transilvanian Hunger. Truly, though, Darkthrone remain unique, even in their own canon. On Eternal Hails, the longer, doomier songs reflect drummer Fenriz’s love of doom, taking their time to make their point. For Fenriz, what he and co-conspirator Nocturno Culto have concocted stretches back even further than discovering black metal, to the sounds of the ‘70s and the more freewheeling sounds of bands playing with more expansive themes. This didn’t just make the songs longer, it made them an entirely different beast from the ground up. In a world changing too fast for anything to stick, Darkthrone are both able to stay fresh, but also reassuringly reliable. And no matter where they record, what they do or what gear the use to do it, this, it seems, will never and can never change.As Fenriz himself puts it, “No matter what happens we will still sound like us, it seems!” Follow Darkthrone: www.facebook.com/Darkthrone-101075189934422 www.instagram.com/darkthroneofficial www.peaceville.com/bands/darkthrone
Pitchshifter - Industrial (2021) OUT NOW TRAILER PeacevilleRecords 2021-06-18 | PITCHSHIFTER - INDUSTRIAL - the 30th Anniversary remastered edition is out now on CD, LP and digitallyAvailable to order here: pitchshifter.lnk.to/Industrial_RemasteredMarking 30 years since its original release comes the newly remastered genre-defining debut - INDUSTRIAL - from the UK greats, Pitchshifter. Originally released in 1991, ‘Industrial’ still stands as a stunning concoction of walls of unrelenting heaviness & primal aggression. With a punishingly stark and brutal sound, punctuated with profound lyrical statements, Pitchshifter had found a highly effective cocktail of dissonance to build upon when they entered Lion Studios in Leeds, in September 1990, with the album coming together in a mere 72 hours. Upon the release of ‘Industrial’, the band swiftly found itself on support slots with acts such as Napalm Death & Paradise Lost, and had also notably caught the attention of highly revered Radio DJ John Peel, who invited Pitchshifter to perform for his prestigious Peel Sessions. Pitchshifter formed in Nottingham, UK, in 1989 by guitarist/programmer Johnny Carter & bassist/vocalist Mark Claydon, with Mark’s brother Jon later joining the fold following initial demo recordings. From their pioneering early days along with the other seminal industrial masters, Godflesh, Pitchshifter’s ascension throughout the 1990s culminated in the band becoming one of the UK’s biggest metal exports around the new millennium, with a spell at Geffen & MCA Records helping Pitchshifter’s profile grow enormously. Their ‘Deviant’ (2000) album reached number 39 in the billboard 200, & this also led to the band embarking on major tours, as well as playing at the renowned Ozzfest. From their more raw & primitive metallic origins, Pitchshifter continued to expand their sound, experimenting with ideas such as drum and bass as they evolved.facebook.com/Pitchshifter.uk instagram.com/pitchshifter.uk
