SON OF A SHOTGUN

SON OF A SHOTGUN

Son Of A Shotgun started in 2015 in Norway, Kristiansand, by the mind & hand of the guitar player Ivan Meathook Gujic of Norway’s meanest death metal band Blood Red Throne. SOAS started as a one-man band, with Meathook serving as the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. The debut album “Mexican Standoff”, released in 2017, featured Jan Axel Blomberg “Hellhammer” (Mayhem, Acturus), Damege Karlsen (Breed, Chrome Division), and Maurice Adams (Breed, Motorfinger).

After the release of “The Mexican Standoff” Meathook kicked off a Norwegian tour, covering all the biggest cities and headlining the Southern Discomfort festival. In their touring, SOAS even played with Cannibal Corpse and made a documentary of it. 2018 was the year of the SOAS zombie squad. The project turned to a full line-up, with some of the best extreme musicians in Norway. The mind-blowing debut of the band happened in Oslo in 2019. Fully uniformed, war-painted. A military precision gig.

In 2021 the band signed to Emanzipation Productions and released a new album, “Be For Oss Alle”, on September 11th.

HELLSWORD

HELLSWORD

Slovenia’s answer to the first wave of black metal, HELLSWORD’s goal has always been to exhume the most ancient blackened speed metal out of the crypt it had been unrightfully interred into. Formed in 2009, the band has developed a cult following after the release of their demo ”Blasphemy Unchained”.

Drawing influence from early black metal pioneers such as Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer as well as newer bands like Destroyer 666 and Nifelheim with an added touch of heavy metal, the trio comprised of Mark Massakre, Mike Manslaughter, and Ironfist now returns with their first full-length album, “Cold Is The Grave” to be released in September via Emanzipation Productions. It builds upon the band’s previous work with nine tracks ranging from face-melting speed to slower paces and dealing with topics such as devil worship, the end of the world, death, desolation, mortality, and the absurdity of human existence.

Ever since its formation, the trio has been dedicating themselves to the pursuit of bringing back the sound, feel, and atmosphere of the first wave of black metal. The band has, besides the now cult demo “Blasphemy Unchained” also released the “Sounding the Seventh Bell” EP and has played numerous shows both in Slovenia and abroad.

In September, the debut full-length album “Cold Is The Grave” was unleashed to an unprepared world. Nine songs of pure blasphemy that will soon be upon you, when the band resumes touring.

Exmortem

Written by Fernando on . Posted in Catalogue Artists. Leave a Comment

EXMORTEM

Exmortem started back in 1992 and was at that time called Mordor. The first demo “Souls Of Purity” was released in 1993 and, not wasting any time, the debut album “Labyrinths of Horror” was recorded the following year and released in June 1995, by Euphonious Records. In 1997 Exmortem was ready with a new recording, this time it was the promo tape called “Dejected“. This lead to a new signing with Euphonious Records, who in 1998 released the second album “Dejected in Obscurity“. Later in 1998 Exmortem released a new promo tape and two of the tracks from that tape was later released on a split 7″ vinyl in 1999.

After that Exmortem started to work more professionally and that led to a new line-up with two new members in Simon (vocals) and Reno (drums) and with them a new promo-CD was recorded in 2000. Finally in the end of 2000, the band entered the studio to record the “Berzerker Legions” album which was released in May 2001 by Hammerheart Records. After the release of “Berzerker Legions” The Aarhus band got more known in the international metal scene and after having played shows in lots of European countries the band started to work on the next album. This let to the signing with Osmose production who released the fourth album “Pestilence Empire” in December 2002. Quickly, the combo was on European tours and several other shows, plus released two exclusive vinyl releases. With the re-release of Berzerker Legions in the US the band for the first time made a widely distributed release from Exmortem available in the United States.

In 2005 Earache/Wicked World released “Nihilistic Contentment” in Europe and the US. Exmortem followed the release touring England with Behemoth, cementing the presence in the live international scene. Sadly, “Funeral Phantoms”, released in 2008, by Mighty Music, was to be the swansong of the band, who disbanded a couple of years after, with its members spreading all around the Danish scene, to bands such as Illdisposed, Koldborn or Horned Almighty.

Last line-up:
Martin “Sigtyr” Thim: guitars
Simon: vocals
Andreas “Mephistopheles” Schubert: bass, guitars
Morten Siersbæk: drums
Kim Nielsen: bass

ENSANGUINATE

ENSANGUINATE

Ensaguinate is Slovenia’s putrid entry into the death metal grimoire of old, performing sinister sounds inspired by Possessed, Morbid Angel, Grotesque and Nihilist, along with a somber tinge of black metal. The mission statement behind Ensanguinate is to play death metal with an occult 80’s atmosphere that adheres to the original morbid vision of the genre before it experienced mainstream appeal. All of these traits are encapsulated within the group’s catchy and pummeling debut EP, “Entranced by Decay”, featuring four songs of fast, abrasive death, that will be released by Emanzipation in May.

Formed in 2020, Ensanguinate originally released “Entranced By Decay” as a demo to positive reviews in August 2020. Four tracks of blistering death metal described by US heavily trafficked website No Clean Singing as “An electrifying, neck-cracking romp packed with jittery and jolting fretwork as well as monstrous echoing growls and livid howls”.

In addition to garnering online praise, Ensanguinate has also managed to navigate the global plague and perform live; the band is looking to hit the road as soon as the pandemic lets up and is already hard at work on their debut LP to be released by Emanzipation Productions.

“Eldritch Anatomy” was announced in June for a release on September 2nd, 2022. The debut album of the Slovenian death metal upstarts delivered a furious maelstrom of classic 80s extreme metal. Consisting of nine tracks that run the gamut from slow and brooding to fast-paced blasts of energy, “Eldritch Anatomy” had enough extreme underground metal pedigree to satisfy fans of Possessed, Morbid Angel and Death as well as those who are accustomed to the sinister melodic edge of Watain and Dissection.
