Lovecraft for Cradle of Filth, The Holy Bible for Stryper and now The IKEA Catalog for Nanowar Of Steel. Valhalleluja is Nanowar's personal take on modern days Norse Mythology, where alongside Odin, Thor and Loki also the greatest Swedish heroes of our age - Beddinge, Kivik and Knopparp - are sitting in Valhalla.

Singer Georg on “Spirit In The Flesh”: The track was originally released on our album Codex Atlanticus, named after the famous work of Leonardo DaVinci, who was our inspiration for the entire album. We wanted to tell the story of his courage to face the wraths of the church against scientists and his strong will to explore the secrets of nature at all risks. The song itself convinces with a strong folk melody that is pointed out even more in the acoustic version. And of course, we are grateful for the support of our longtime friend Niklas Müller (AD INFINITUM) giving the song an energy kick with his drumming.
SERENITY on MEMORIA: “After a long time of waiting, we’re excited to finally release our first live album. We still think back to the evening when we performed this very special show at KulturQuartier in Kufstein and we’re so proud we could bottle the unique atmosphere of this night and release it now under the title MEMORIA. Being able to perform this concert in this terrific atmosphere of a theater with so many guests was a really ‘once in a lifetime experience’ and we’re extremely happy to share it now with all of our fans.”

Story by AHAB Stop Motion Video by Inspira
Says guitarist Christian Hector about the new single and video: “I've always wanted to have a video for AHAB like 'Colossus of the liquid graves'. Actually we developed the ideas for a storyboard ourselves during a flight to a show in Athens - which was a great experience. It was so inspiring to see our ideas animated literally little by little. Needless to say, the team of puppet builders, stop motion animators and camera operators did an awesome job on getting it all done the way we had it in our minds. The story itself is quite gloomy and the video breathes life into our cover artwork. We’re all very excited and thankful for this fine little moving picture.“
In support of their upcoming album release, AHAB will be playing an exclusive album release show, live in a church! Make sure to catch them at the following dates, with many more to be announced soon:

XANDRIA on the new single: “As one more taste of our upcoming album The Wonders Still Awaiting (out February 3rd, 2023) we proudly present you the title song of it. We think that together with the songs you´ve heard so far, it gives you a hint of what to expect, and that it will be musically about a lot of powerful and magical atmosphere. But every song on this album will be its own little universe to explore, its own story and altogether it will be quite a journey of wonders and surprises... “
IMPERIUM DEKADENZ on “November Monument”: “November is a monument to death and darkness and yet it also represents the beginning of a new cycle. Travel with us into the dark wings of melancholy and through this season, full of reflection and relinquishment.”
KATATONIA on the new album, Sky Void of Stars: “Our 12th album, Sky Void of Stars is a dynamic journey through vibrant darkness. Born out of yearning for what was lost and not found, the very peripheries of the unreachable, but composed and condensed into human form and presented as sounds and words true to the KATATONIA signum. No stars here, just violent rain.”

Feuerschwanz states: “‘The world definitely needs another ABBA cover!’ That must have gone through Hodi's head when he made a highly dubious bet on New Year's Eve 2021/22. If Memento Mori beats Voyage by ABBA in the German album charts, we will create a cover version! Hodi, as a self-confessed non-fan of the Swedish band, then had to admit two things to himself: Firstly, Memento Mori reached number 1, so he has to make the bet true. Secondly, the ABBA songs are not bad at all - quite the opposite! So listen to the folk metal version of ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!’ - I wonder if there was mead involved? Certainly. Does the world really NEED ANOTHER ABBA cover? Probably not. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.“

AMBERIAN DAWN on the new single: “Super Trouper became one of the best-sounding songs on this album. Capri's voice is just perfect for this one. Mikko Karmila created a very powerful sound with his mixing. All the elements like the vocals parts and the instruments are well balanced.”
DESTRUCTION about the new video: „The enthusiasm, energy and euphoria of the Latin American Metal crowds are legendary meanwhile all around the globe. That is the reason why we have filmed the new video clip for ‘Tormented Soul’ in the middle of our Latin American Attack tour, at the Mexico Metal Fest! It was always a dream to do this and of course the fans did not disappoint: they are the star of this oldschool music video - dive into the stamina and the lunacy of a dedicated hispanic crowd!

► LYRICS:
Somewhere Better
Drowning or entering a fire I will cast a storm upon their lying smiles I can feel deep inside There’s a voice, a flame keeping me alive I open my heart, my eyes Sometimes it feels better to know To know
We ignite Still dreaming wide awake On the hunt for “Somewhen brighter” Pull me back now I’ll dream until my dying day Create a new “Somewhere better”
The promise of a life Like a thousand suns inside my broken heart I can see through your eyes And embrace the flame that guides me through the night Rising above the tides I know that I needed to fall To grow
If you thought you got to know the whole range of what League of Distortion has to offer, you might change your mind with this next single. With the provocative title “I’m A Bitch” they are neglecting every rule of a conventional metal track, creating a song and video that will blow your mind and leave you speechless.
This 4th single shows another facet of League of Distortion’s upcoming self titled Debut album which will be released on November 25th. Be sure to order the album right now!!!
The band adds: “This song is about social prejudice and inequality. Women and men are still being treated with different measures. With this provocative topic, song and music video, we are speaking up against this injustice, wanting to persuade you to reprogram the old patterns of thinking.”

"Here's a singthrough of the 2nd track, "The Resurrection" of our album "The Resurrection Of Lilith"! This song is challenging to sing and perform live because of the tempo changes and variation in the vocals with the switching between very high pitch screams and the deep snarling growls. As a vocalist (and Witch 😉) it feels the most natural for me to do the high, hysterical screams, but it is always a pleasure to experiment like this and hear what your voice is capable of!

"How else could we have started our new album after 8 years wait? I love the unexpected, so it feels kinda natural to start that thunderous," guitarist Christian Hector comments. "The song tells the first milestone of "20,000 leagues under the sea“, when the Nautilus attacks and Professor Arronax and Conseil go over board and nearly drown. Of course we also introduce Captain Nemo in the first song. I cut the video myself - it’s a lyric nautic video.

#warkingsIMPERIUM DEKADENZ - MEMORIES ... A RAGING RIVER (Official Video) | Napalm RecordsNapalm Records2022-11-08 | New Album, Into Sorrow Evermore, out January 20, 2023 via Napalm Records! Pre-Order here: lnk.to/ID-IntoSorrowEvermore
Shooting and filming: Oliver König von Mbience Visuals Concept: Imperium Dekadenz + Oliver König
IMPERIUM DEKADENZ on “Memories … a Raging River”: “A look at a time that left no traces and was irretrievably swept away as if by a raging stream. Brachial guitar lines meet melancholic, filigree melodies, shaken by poignant, touching cries from an endless abyss. Resolutely we step into an approaching darkness.”
Tuomas Seppälä on the new single: “This was an easy and obvious pick for this album. The song is a true masterpiece. It was easy to arrange into a metal version. For a while, I considered replacing the famous keyboard lead intro with guitar, but quite soon I wanted to keep the lead part played with keyboards. It gives more ABBA feeling to the song. Capri sings amazingly, once again. And for the very first time, we had a chance for our bassist to play slap bass in the middle part of the song. It's rarely heard in metal music.”
Director: Hamish Waterhouse DOP: Bill Bycroft Edited by: Bailey Palmer
With unstoppable velocity, STÄLKER rushes towards the top of the genre with their new single “Kneel and Worship” and display their invincible power. The song rams like a speeding train, commencing a new era for the genre. Join the unstoppable sonic ride of “Kneel and Worship”!
STÄLKER on “Kneel and Worship”: “Against the iron gates, you stand at the brink of destruction. Will you kneel? Or has your time finally come?”

Ghosts actually started as a reminiscence to good old Swedish meldodic death metal and with that archetypical guitar riff that you hear right in the beginning. And then we integrated it into our Xandria soundscape with lots of film score atmosphere and big choirs, because it was exciting to mix these elements and do our own thing with it (still we kept the working title "Swedish Fire" for a long time...).
It is a good example for how diverse the new album will be and how many different influences we were putting into it. We had a lot of things - little musical dreams - in our minds and hearts that we wanted to realize, and along with what you already heard in the first two new songs this is just one of them. There will be quite some more surprises coming...
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS frontwoman Brittney Slayes says: "We are so excited to share 'Acoustipex' with you all; it's a moody acoustic take on the title track from Apex and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it! It's got a bit of a country vibe, but we added some symphonic elements as well to stay true to the synth theme of the record.
The music video was a challenge because we all live in different cities now, but we had a great time coming up with a concept we think you might appreciate. For those of you that have seen our acoustic version of 'Apex' on YouTube from CTV, you will understand where our inspiration came from lol ;) Make sure to get your pre-orders for the EP in now before they're all gone, and let us know what you think!"
BLACK MIRRORS says about the new single: “Snake Oil is one of the last songs we wrote for “Tomorrow Will Be Without Us”. As soon as we started working on it, we could feel its great potential — it absolutely had to be on our second album! We can already tell you that it’s the first track of our new record. It perfectly gives you an idea of the tone of our new album: raw and wild! The song is about being manipulated by someone… then realizing how stupid you’ve been not to notice the game they played to fool you. The idea behind the video was to combine the main theme of “Tomorrow Will Be Without Us” with the manipulation story of the song. So Marcella started to think of this girl being in a psychiatric hospital room, stuck, unable to see anything. Increasingly, she becomes the carrier of some important information that you get to see at the very end of the video.“
WOLFHEART’s guitarist/vocalist Tuomas Saukkonen adds: "After an agonizing three years of waiting to get back on the road, it was like an early Christmas, birthday and all the kinder eggs from Easter combined to share a tour with the magnificent ULTIMA RATIO package and get to play new songs to our fans across Europe. Having a video shot from the tour is the best way to remember the awesome crew we had, top notch venue staff and esspecially all those hands in the air, voices from the crowd and the connection between us and the audience interweaved by the music."
KATATONIA on the new album, Sky Void of Stars: “Our 12th album, Sky Void of Stars is a dynamic journey through vibrant darkness. Born out of yearning for what was lost and not found, the very peripheries of the unreachable, but composed and condensed into human form and presented as sounds and words true to the KATATONIA signum. No stars here, just violent rain.”

#katatoniaAD INFINITUM - Upside Down (Guitar Playthrough by Adrian Thessenvitz) | Napalm RecordsNapalm Records2022-10-26 | Taken from the upcoming album "Chapter III - Downfall". Pre-Order here: lnk.to/ChapterIIIDownfall
Adrian states:
'Upside Down' is one of my favourite Ad Infinitum songs of our upcoming album "Chapter III Downfall". From a guitarists point of view it combines chunky riffs (beware of the percussive dead-notes), wide open chords in the second verse and an interesting breakdown with long bendings. If you want to play it, tune your 8-string guitar from bottom to top like this: E B E A D G B E
► LYRICS: Are you feeling alone As the pages burn, all is set in stone Hope is fading away Now the tables turn, so you turn and pray
A sad illusion, the taste of a lie In your delusion, nowhere to hide But tell me why you swim against the tides
Upside down You fool yourself and you hide in disguise I see you now Drop that crown You burned the bridges Get ready to dive!
Are you still feeling alive Now your world’s been turned upside down How does is feel to be mad At the simple fact you’re born to die?
In your reality gold is divine Your head is high and close to the sky So tell me why your crown is falling down
Watch out Poisoned by greed and denial Your mind is sinking in The void of your demise

BRYMIR on “Forged in War”: ”We wanted to see how far we could push the contrast between death & thrash metal mayhem and a power metal chorus - and the result was 'Forged in War'. When we wrote this song, it felt like we unlocked a new dimension of guitar chugging heaviness that will surely influence our songs far into the future. The track has already sealed its place in our new, crushing live set, so get ready to bang your heads off at your next BRYMIR show!”

► LYRICS --- ICEHEART FRAGMENT (Re-Imagined) ---
You cleaned a skeleton Out from your darkest closet What about the remaining ones? Will you save them for a rainy day?
In your sovereign life You'll get plenty of these Eye for an eye Once you open the box Of Pandora, There´s no putting
The darkness back in That´s a bell you can´t unring Can´t unring How to right your wrongs? (right your wrongs) When the damage is done (Is done) (damage done)
I’ll take the blue pill And escape while I can (while I can) I won't be blighted by your infestation anymore
Somewhere deep inside You can separate right from wrong You always left ruins behind you But you also carry it with you…
You (try to) cure your sickness With even more poison
(But) I’ll take the blue pill And escape while I can I won't be blighted by your infestation anymore
Somewhere deep inside You can separate right from wrong You always left ruins behind you But you also carry it with you Oh, I want to give you my world Everything in my universe (But) will you burn it down with the rest of me?
You will always carry it with you Carry it with you Your past glory doesn´t redeem your present guilt That´s the phantom that will haunt all your plays from now on
You will always carry it with you Carry it with you
--- UNGUIDED ENTITY (Re-Imagined) ---
Don’t wake me up from my nightmares Because it’s always much worse The truth The truth never sealed my fate The truth The truth it sealed my mind
I’m getting good at swapping one pain for another And cache the truth deep down in my chest I just hoped for a chestburster-free life But then came the day, the day of reckoning
I could feel thousands of heartbeats In this city, just flatline Simultaneously incinerated By the conflagration of our enemies
I was alone at the frontline The sin was too bright to understand I was alone at the frontline Dancing to the bitter tunes of silence
There is always only one true path And it's forward through the pain Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I vow in toxic rain
Would you eat the fruit growing at a graveyard? It most likely tastes perfectly fine But the fact it’s infused with the death of many Will always gnaw at the back of your mind
Everyone and everything I ever loved Was no more, there was nothing left Our birthright trampled and defiled By assailants constructed by man’s hand
There is always only one true path And it's forward through the pain Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I vow in toxic rain We don’t stop missing the people we'd lost We learn to live around the hole they leave behind
You caged me But when the hourglass strikes death My liege will come for me And he’ll render you a killustration

Timmy Rough on “My Kinda Crazy”: “’My Kinda Crazy’ is a good mix of positiv energy and badass Rock & Roll attitude. It’s a song about a toxic love affair that always ends up in a catastrophe, but you just can’t get enough of it. So there might be some similarities to some of our after show parties as well. (laughs)“
