The stream is due to be aired on 5th November at 20:00 GMT via Stageit.com. We sincerely hope you can all join us in a brief respite from these dark days!

Thank you, Nick

Macabre - Carnival Of Killers

 

Come one! Come all, to the demented, heinous bloodbath of a murder metal circus that declares MACABRE’s return, Carnival Of Killers. As the band’s first full-length album in almost 10 years and just in time for their 35th anniversary as a band, Carnival Of Killers will be released on November 13th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Today, the band released the second single ‘Your Window Is Open’ which can be seen here.

The video was helmed by award-winning filmmaker, Ryan Oliver who’s previously directed videos for ‘The Atlas Moth’, ‘Bill & Phil’, ‘Child Bite’ and ‘Lair of the Minotaur’. The video was produced in hand with his colleagues at The Rot Shop, a fabrication and FX shop in Chicago where the same group has previously made props and FX for many artists including MINISTRY and METALLICA.

Hjelvik

 

The Norwegian blackened Viking heavy metal band HJELVIK has released a lyric video for their new single ‘Helgrinda’ from the upcoming album Welcome to Hel, which will be released on November 20th 2020 via Nuclear Blast.

The video was created by the multi-talented artist Costin Chioreanu (At the Gates, Sigh, Napalm Death) and features Norwegian lyrics.

Frontman and songwriter Erlend Hjelvik comments: “Helgrinda is one of my personal favourites on the album and is sung entirely in Norwegian. It’s one of the more black metal leaning songs on the album and so it felt appropriate to write the lyrics in my native tongue. The lyrics revolve around ancient Scandinavian burial rites and chronicles a fateful journey to the Norse underworld Hel.”
