https://risetothesky.bandcamp.com/album/per-aspera-ad-astra
“”The sound of the song (End My Night) is vast and earthshaking, and it’s beautiful but intensely heartbreaking. The music builds in intensity and panoramic scope as the minutes pass, climbing toward a crest of emotional power, and as it ascends, its immersive effect becomes overwhelming.” – premiere at No Clean Singing

Vanta – Zero Kelvin
Sludge, Doom from Hungary
Released July 2nd
https://vanta000.bandcamp.com/album/zero-kelvin
“The song, “Zero Kelvin” is a beautifully melodic and weirdly hypnotic track that builds in intensity and complexity as it progresses. The addition of the tastefully integrated cello by Márk Rostetter both serves to build emotion at the beginning of the track and intensity towards the end. Overall, the song has a strong feeling of acceptance and peace in the face of devastation that I find to be both refreshing and deeply enjoyable.” – Premiere at Toilet Ov Hell

AntiMozdeBeast – The Ritual EP
April 23rd, 2021
Industrial Metal
“The first impression of The Ritual is of belligerence, of an album doing things solely on its own terms with no consideration for the listener. Heavily distorted screams sit atop stuttering rhythms and bursts of melody, that at first all seem to be working against one another. Even the melodies provide no easy handholds, meaning the only way to grapple with The Ritual is to throw yourself fully into it, trusting in yourself not to drown in its waves.” – Astral Noize UK

Smyčka – Fated
February 20, 2021
Post Black Metal
https://smycka.bandcamp.com/album/fated
“Doom-influenced instrumental Post Metal is characterized by a juxtaposition of clean guitar phrasing with harder riffs. This alternation is the distinctive tract of the whole work; the use of aggressive and melodic sounds is used to emphasize the feeling of confusion and personal devastation as well as in the vocal style, where clean melodic are seamlessly followed by extreme growls, seamlessly.” – Forge Of Steel

Rise To The Sky – Let Me Drown With You
March 12th, 2021
Atmospheric Death Doom
“A truly mournful masterpiece, Rise To The Sky’s new album Let Me Drown With You will be released March 12. The second track, “Dream The Pain Is Gone,” dazzles in its dreariness. What makes Let Me Drown With You so effective is the songwriting. Acoustic guitars and orchestral arrangements make each track an exquisite dirge. Solo contributor Sergio G has crafted a gripping, emotionally palpable atmosphere. You can’t help but be moved by this music. Underscoring this audible grief is the fact that Sergio dedicated the album to his father. He passed away Jan 6, 2021. Our condolences, sir. And thank you for such a sorrowful, beautiful album.” – “Funeral Doom” Friday by Grant Skeleton at Metal Injection

Campaigns
Portfolio: Rise To The Sky – Let Me Drown With You
The first campaign of 2021 and one of the most successful to date. Not long after release day Rise To The Sky broke beyond the 1k monthly listener’s mark, sold all of the available CDs and got an overwhelming amount of reviews!
Portfolio: Xeno Ooze – “Slimewave” 2020 (Death Grind)
Xeno Ooze is a three-piece hive-minded grindcore outfit from the scorching Sonoran deserts of Phoenix, Arizona. Formed in 2018 by ex-members of Glitterbomb and Drogheda, Xeno Ooze weaves elements of death metal, crust, power violence and oozing science fiction into a sludgy conglomerate of mach-speed blasting, pummeling riffs, and gutturals from the maws of The Old Ones themselves. Slimewave continues the aesthetic of their 2019 debut “Parasligm Shift” by remaining consistent in their toxic choice of artwork and subverting the expectations of grind.
Portfolio: Rise to The Sky – “A Cold Embrace From Life” 2020 (Death Doom)
Rise The Sky is the solo project of Chilean musician Sergio G who has wasted no time this year and is back already with follow up the critically acclaimed October LP “Death Will Not Keep Us Apart”. The heart of this new EP, “A Cold Embrace From Life” is an atmospheric death doom experience that trudges through the emotions of grief and a stinging lack of closure. It embraces the signature sound of the band while also exhibiting various improvements over previous releases. Sergio says of the album:
Portfolio: Rise To The Sky – “Death Will Not Keep Us Apart” 2020 (Death Doom)
Rise To The Sky is a solo death doom project that borders on the funeral side of things. After making releases for a couple of years Rise To The Sky cements their style and aesthetic with this new album Death Will Not Keep Us Apart. Between the compositions, sound and album artwork, this is very far from a run of the mill made in a bedroom kind of solo project. It’s miles ahead in quality and preparedness. Enjoy the story telling and longform doom atmosphere with this brand new LP.
Portfolio: Thorn – “The Encompassing Nothing” 2020 (Death Doom)
Cavernous. Brooding. Bleak. Thorn is a one-man project from Phoenix, Arizona specializing in the foreboding and ominous. Weaving elements of death metal, doom, post and grind, the debut release “The Encompassing Nothing” is the ideal soundscape for worshipping pagan gods and making offerings to unknown entities. Created by the guitarist from Xeno Ooze and Glitterbomb.
Portfolio: White Crone – “The Poisoner” 2020 (Traditional Heavy Metal)
“Lisa Mann made a career as an award winning blues artist, but never lost her love of metal music. Growing up in the mosh pits of the 1980’s, she was inspired by bands such as Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath, Manowar, Dio and more. A mostly one-woman project, White Crone is a love letter to this grand era of metal, and a lyrical homage to mystical storytelling traditions of yore”
Portfolio: Extinction – “Smouldering Enfoulment” 2020 (Slam)
This is one of those projects I love to promote because of there sheer amount of talking points. Publications will have a field day with this one, for better or worse. Extinction is an aggressively environmentally conscious slam band that weaves samples into the chaotic music to tell a story. Their new album Smouldering Enfoulment is a natural continuation of their 2019 demo Anthropogenic Degradation of Ecosystemic Vegetation and the amount of progression made since last year is very impressive. From the composition to the production, this is a chunky album that delivers on it’s promise to crusade for nature.
Portfolio: Old Bones – “Sleepwalker EP” 2020 (Alt/Stoner)
Hailing from Long Island, New York, Old Bones is the culmination of 20+ year friendships, fights, musical cultivation, and exploration. Following years of stop-start momentum, the band finally found its footing after watching a Mastodon/Opeth show and realizing what they needed to do. After a ton of individual writing, they had enough to begin rehearsing with Griffin McCarthy (Letter of Marque) and ultimately put 5 of these ferocious songs to tape to release them to the masses in March 2020.
Portfolio: Scissorfight – “Doomus Abruptus Vol.1” 2019 (Southern Rock)
Self described as “Acid mountain rock”, “Speed Doom” or just “Heavy Fuckin’ Rock”. Scissorfight has just released their first LP in over a decade and first every Vinyl LP since reforming with a new lineup in 2016. Scissorfight are back in full mud stomping force. Doomus Abruptus Vol.1 is front to back a raucous good time. Caveman Television is the strongest opening to an album you can get, it is an anthem worthy lead into some of the most southern and heaviest rock and roll you will hear this year from an OG band of the genre. “Give rock or give me death”.
Portfolio: L’homme Absurde – “Belong” 2020 (Post Black Metal)
Hailing from Moscow Russia, L’Homme Absurde play a captivating blend of post-black metal and metalcore that has been refined over multiple releases leading into their third LP, ‘Belong’ (Out Jan 17th). The band originally started as the solo project of A.S. and quickly evolved into a fully fledged live performance. Their name is in french and loosely means The Absurd Human/Man, it is taken from the philosophical work “The Myth of Sisyphus” by Albert Camus.
