Sanity's 'Revelation' EP: A Symphonic Metal Odyssey Through Apocalypse

Delve into the epic narrative of 'Revelation,' the latest conceptual masterpiece from Berlin-based symphonic metal outfit Sanity. This five-track EP unfolds as a vivid musical journey inspired by the prophetic and dystopian themes found in the biblical book of Revelation. The band's musical prowess blends black and death metal roots with grand symphonic arrangements, crafting an immersive sonic experience.

Embracing a range of vocal styles, from powerful growls and intense shouts to hauntingly beautiful clean vocals, Sanity's compositions entwine heroic viking chants with soaring power metal melodies. The intricate guitar work, featuring melodic riffs and powerful lead guitars, harmonizes seamlessly with the thunderous drumming, transitioning from frenetic double bass-driven blasts to intense progressive metal rhythms.

Founded in 1994 by Philipp and Florian Weishaupt, Sanity has unleashed their creative force through three full-length albums and now 'Revelation,' showcasing their evolution and mastery of the symphonic metal genre. The EP captures the essence of the apocalypse depicted in the book of Revelation, encapsulating the chaos and majesty within its symphonic soundscape.

Listeners can immerse themselves in the cataclysmic storytelling of 'Revelation,' experiencing the thunderous crashes and divine proclamations echoing through each track. From the electrifying energy of lightning and thunder to the reverence for the Almighty, each note and lyric breathes life into this prophetic tale.

Connect with Sanity on their official website, Facebook, and Instagram for a deeper dive into the thematic essence of 'Revelation,' a musical opus that traverses the realms of prophecy and metal mastery."

LYRICS:
-------------
What program?
What channel?
What is designed by you and me?
And how we've remained to find comfort in our home.
What teacher?
Born leader.
What feature defines you to the wind?
Comparing all your losses is the average man's reward.

I've got a gift for you tonight.
All this time I've been watching over you.
Psycho simulator fold the bleedlines.
Share the world as one.
I know the face of danger.
Fold the bleedlines before these colors run.

What pleasure-
Must one measure-
To shine your trophy all alone?
And how we've remained to find comfort all alone.
What portal-
Mere mortal-
Can reach out to shake the minute hand?
Comparing all your winnings is the average man's reward.

I've got a gift for you tonight.
All this time I've been watching over you.
Psycho simulator fold the bleedlines.
Share the world as one.
I know the face of danger.
Fold the bleedlines before these colors run.

Psycho simulator fold the bleedlines.
Share the world as one.
I know the face of danger.
Fold the bleedlines before these colors run.

#blackabsinthe #heavymetal #metal #thrashmetal #hell

Out now, the latest single "On Earth or In Hell" from Black Absinthe:

"The largest, loudest expression from our upcoming album, โ€˜On Earth Or in Hellโ€™, sets a more serious tone, casting the good time party anthems aside for this release and title track of our upcoming album. Our blend of thrash and N.W.O.B.H.M. came together for this song. A distinct black and death metal twin vocal attack, of Jack Cerre (lead vocals / guitar) and Fernando Villalobos (drums / vocals) drive the aggressive melody.

The video portrays us in a fiery hellscape, thrashing and screaming, with the intensity of the flames matching the ferocity of the song and the impending fate of the damned. The collaboration with the videoโ€™s director, โ€˜Michael Jari Davidsonโ€™ (Alice in Chains, Escuela Grind, Wake) came from Davidson attending one of our live shows and him wanting to capture the chaotic energy. His visionary work brought the song to life and the video is a reflection of our progressing intensity, and fury.

The riff-fuelled offering, "On Earth or In Hell", condemns the lies and denial of our nationโ€™s genocidal past. Sonic rage and disgust fuel the trackโ€™s fire with hope that the crimes of church and country are never forgotten.โ€

Lyrics:
Taken from everything they knew and taken to
Strange territory and cruelty
Horrific conditions atrocity hidden away from our history
Itโ€™s hard to believe
The evidence unearthed for all us to see
But we canโ€™t deny the loss of their lives
Back in 1870 to well past 1995

CHORUS

Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both

Here and now new graves are discovered everyday
Underneath institutions of pain
Buried when life has been stripped away
Left and forgotten until today
I canโ€™t comprehend the reasons to put all those lives to an end
In the ways they did with malicious intent
Torture and rape used as regular consequence

CHORUS

Recognize, remember every 30th of September

We reflect in solemn fashion we pay respect to all the victims of their neglect
Despicable actions a culture wrecked we canโ€™t forgive and we wonโ€™t forget
I still canโ€™t believe this took place for over a century
And the shame the guilt for the blood that was spilt goddamn the motherfucking government who passed the bill

CHORUS
Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both

Lyrics:
If the wind whistles loud enough
For you to hear it
Listen to what it has to say
It's been too long youโ€™ve been there
Constantly beat the air
It is now time to act in another way

It whistles for a reason
Give it your attention

You can't always flee
If the gusts knock on your door, open it
Messy it's gonna be
But a wind of change is needed

A stormsโ€™ rising eye
The worm you are must die
Brave the tempest
Behave like a man
Bold and fearless

Stop complaining in your comfort zone
Itโ€™s time for you to leave your throne
Throw caution to the winds

Enter the turmoil, defy the hurricane
Don't let fear spoil your life into pain

A stormsโ€™ rising eye
The worm you are must die
Brave the tempest
Behave like a man
Bold and fearless

As long as itโ€™s in you, there will be a riot
It will never be calm and quiet
Shed light on this part of your life
And change the way you act
It will be a start for ending this strife
And one day the sun will be back

LYRICS:
After the end, when the wishing and hoping is gone
When the last man is awaiting for what is to come
Take their perspective, take them all will to survive
In these last hours of darkness despair comes alive, and itโ€™s here to stay

Just death - no glory, thatโ€™s all to await
Thanks to the rich ten percent
They wouldnโ€™t listen till nature would end their game

Under a black crown, the God of life and death
Hail to the hunter, thy armour will be blessed
Under a black crown, reducer of the damned
Kneel and be counted, then die under a black crown
(Die under a black crown)

Thereโ€™s no illusions beyond the point of no return
The last conclusions, they make sense no more, all is gone
Gone are the days where we could have saved future for all
But short term profits seemed brighter, so this is the fall, maybe better this way

Just death - no glory, thatโ€™s all to await
Thanks to the rich ten percent
They wouldnโ€™t listen till nature would end their game

Under a black crown, the God of life and death
Hail to the hunter, thy armour will be blessed
Under a black crown, reducer of the damned
Kneel and be counted, then die under a black crown
(Die under a black crown)
Die under a black crown

Just death - no glory, thatโ€™s all to await
Thanks to the rich ten percent
They wouldnโ€™t listen till nature would end their game

Under a black crown, the God of life and death
Hail to the hunter, thy armour will be blessed
Under a black crown, reducer of the damned
Kneel and be counted, then die under a black crown
(Die under a black crown)
(Die under a black crown)

Mighty US metal pioneers WARLORD return with "Free Spirit Soar" in 2024!

The "Conquerors" 7" single is out on 12th April 2024. The new full length "Free Spirit Soar" is out on 10th May 2024. Both released on HIGH ROLLER RECORDS.
Order your copy at https://www.hrrecords.de/WARLORD_1

Legendary US Metal band Warlord was formed in 1981 by Mark Zonder and William J. Tsamis. One year later, in 1982, the song โ€œLuciferโ€™s Hammerโ€ (based on a novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle) appeared on the prestigious compilation album ยปMetal Massacre IIยซ. This resulted in a deal with Metal Blade Records, with Warlord recording their debut mini-album. ยปDeliver Usยซ was released in 1983 and is today considered as the blueprint for what was later to be called โ€œEpic Metalโ€. ยปDeliver Usยซ was followed by ยปAnd The Cannons Of Destruction Have Begun...ยซ in 1984.

After a long hiatus, ยปRising Out Of The Ashesยซ appeared as the comeback album for Warlord in 2002, while it took another eleven years for the follow-up ยปThe Holy Empireยซ to see the light of day in 2013.

Up until the present day, ยปThe Holy Empireยซ would remain the last Warlord studio album with all new material, as William J. Tsamis sadly passed away on 13th of May 2021 at the age of 60.

However, with ยปFree Spirit Soarยซ, a brand new studio album by Warlord with all songs having been recorded between March and September 2023, itโ€™s Drummer Mark Zonder and singer Giles Lavery paying tribute to the musical heritage of Bill Tsamis. They are joined by Jimmy Waldo on keyboards/synthesizer, Phillip Bynoe on bass and Eric Juris on guitars. โ€œWe wanted to finish these pieces of music โ€˜for Billโ€™,โ€ explains Lavery, โ€œand the material we felt was certainly strong enough to inspire us to do so.โ€ Regarding the guitar parts he specifies: โ€œBill is there where we could pull his tracks off the demo recordings, in much the same way the Beatles were recently able to rescue John Lennonโ€™s voice from an old demo tape. Eric does most of the heavy lifting on guitar, but all music was written by Bill and we stayed very very faithful to what he wrote.โ€

All in all, Giles Lavery is very satisfied with how ยปFree Spirit Soarยซ turned out: โ€œIt was a bit of an uncharted adventure delving into Billโ€™s demos and unfinished music, and also having to write lyrics and vocal melodies to the songs - the only two exceptions being the two Lordian Guard songs that we selected to โ€˜Warlord-izeโ€™ โ€ฆas has been tradition on every Warlord album since ยปRising Out Of The Ashesยซ. Everything but two songs have vocals for the first time, so that entire area of the composition is new โ€ฆ As for the music, I think much of it is unheard, a few bits and pieces you might recognize from some of the catalogue reissues, instrumental bonus tracks etc. As producer of the album it was my job to sort through all the pieces and pull together songs.โ€

I'm screaming blindly
Til I cannot hear
The words are failing
No mind to adhere
This pointless feeling
That leaves me despaired
With every moment leaving me with no care

VEINS DRIED OUT
SKIN IS CRACKED AND BLEEDING
PAYING THIS PRICE
TO NO FUCKING END

COLD AS LIFE
WITHOUT ANY MEANING
THIS IS THE END
MY ONLY FRIEND

HEARTACHE BURNS
CANโ€™T DENY THE FEELING
AGONY CONSUMES MY
EVERY WORD

WALK THE LINE
ENDING UP WITH NOTHING
I WILL END YOUR
FUCKING WORLD

I hate this feeling of loss and despair
No kind of love replacing what was once there
I need presumption of how I should be Those that lie pretending to know me
The suffering never ends

NOW I AM THE REAPER
NO LONGER BOUND BY FLESH
NOW I BRING THE WORLD TO ITS KNEES
THE SUFFERING NEVER ENDS

GODS WILL BOW BEFORE ME
HUMANITY COWERS IN FEAR
DEPRESSED INTO THIS PRECIPICE
OUR FINAL HOUR NEARS

Cutting off
The fucking loss

The official music video for new single RUN FOR YOUR LIFE with more coming soon this July via COP International...

Deep Space Rock 'n Roll Mercenaries Beastoฬˆ Blancoฬˆ are on a deadly mission to rescue their abducted cohort Machine Girl from A rescue mission gone terribly wrong! Ignoring their pleas for her to not go alone, she is overpowered and imprisoned by an evil space overlord known only as MAX, and the army of faceless crones who do his bidding!

LYRICS:
Imbalance
Adaptation
Equilibrium
Repeat

Always chasing
Never ending
Hedonic treadmill
Full of deceit

Always dreaming of obtaining something you desire
It doesnโ€™t matter how hard you try because the feeling you get will be what you had prior
Oh, right back to square one
Itโ€™s a trap that swallows us whole
Although we might think weโ€™ve won
Hedonic treadmill devours us all

I am the king of my own suffering
I do this to myself
In time Iโ€™ll come to realize
The constant chasing leaves me empty inside

Imbalance
Adaptation
(Always chasing)
Equilibrium
Repeat
(Never ending)
Hedonic treadmill swallows us

All you can do is try to catch the high
That keeps getting further away
In time youโ€™ll come to realize
The constant chasing leaves you empty inside

Imbalance
Adaptation
(Always chasing)
Equilibrium
Repeat
(Never ending)
Hedonic treadmill consumes us all

Overstimulated for a moment then weโ€™re doomed
'Cause weโ€™re desensitized by all the fucking shit that we consume
And itโ€™s a problem but not one that weโ€™ll be able to solve soon
Not even after we are in our tombs

I have bouts of pleasure and joy but they are short-lived
Momentary sense of fulfillment but then itโ€™s gone and expectations rise again
And then Iโ€™m back to where I

Started at the bottom tried to rise to the top
But nothing changed and I realized that I had to stop
Because I burnt myself out and I thought I would drop
Hedonic treadmill won again so I had to step off

You started at the bottom tried to rise to the top
But nothing changed and you realized that you had to stop
Because you burnt yourself out and you thought you would drop
Hedonic treadmill won again so you had to step off

Words from the band:

Jeff Ogle:
Alice In Chains was always one of my favorite bands, especially from the Pacific Northwest. That scene was so huge in the 90s, and so many great bands came from there. Out of all the bands in the Seattle scene, I think AIC was my favorite. In fact, when I was about 13, I got my first CD player in my room, and my grandad took me to the pawn shop one day and my very first CD was "Jar of Flies". I wore that thing out, every song was just amazing to me.

The reason I think I pushed so hard with the guys to do AIC as our first cover, and "Them Bones" in particular, was it was just the heaviest grungy song ever. The lyrics and overall vibe of the song was just very fitting for our style of metal/rock. When we recorded our album Relentless, we found we were doing a ton of back up harmony vocals, and as it was happening in the studio, I just kept thinking of Layne and Jerry, and how amazing their vocals were together, so I wanted to tap into that vibe or spirit when we were recording. Needless to say, Relentless ended up being something we are all very proud off, and now we wanted to pay tribute to one of the bands that was very inspirational to us. We are all fans, every member has their own favorite group or inspiration, but bottom line, this band loves to be at all the shows, fists in air, and loving the music. We hope you feel the same way we did about our cover and tribute to Alice In Chains.

Introducing the first track from the album 'Pishach': "Love Undead."

Inspired by a surreal dream experienced by our Rhythm guitarist, this song has been transformed into a captivating music video. "Love Undead" narrates the haunting tale of a necrophiliac woman, weaving together a unique fusion of modern and old-school sounds that set it apart from our previous releases.

track taken from Lokheira's upcoming album "Dark of the Night", due for release on February 23, 2024 via Wormholedeath.

Lokheiraโ€™s Dark of The Night album was created in 2022 after their lead vocalist, Irene Mavroudis Ramaglino, dreamt of the albumโ€™s title song - In The Dark of The Night. She dreamt of the songโ€™s melody and woke up in the middle of the night and wrote the lyrics. Together, with her husband Rob Ramaglino and Robโ€™s brother, Josh Ramaglino - who is featured in the song with his guitar solo - they composed the rest of the songs.

Line up
Rob Ramaglino: (guitar, drums, harsh vocals)
Irene Mavroudis Ramaglino (lead vocals)
George Mavroudis (bass, vocals)

โ–บ Lyrics โ—„
Led to the slaughter
Slave to the authors of fate
A human pendulum
Boiling over with hate
Tormented victim
Trapped at the mercy of time
Crippled and blinded
Torn from the prime of his life

Open the gates of hell
Never to return
The hanged man will have his revenge

Bloodthirsty animal
Breaking free from his cage
Aeons of silence
Taught him to master his rage
Death meditation
Violent elation arise
Generations forsaken
They hanged him
But he is alive

Open the gates of hell
Never to return
The hanged man will have his revenge

Spoken to death himself
Lessons that we learned
The hanged man will have his revenge

Lyrics for โ€œBleedโ€

Verse1:
Running through your head again
Iโ€™ve got you wondering
Is it a curse?
Casted spell?
Is it love again?
Itโ€™s in your lies and your smiles that you try to fake
Itโ€™s in your eyes, you try to hide but show it every day

Pre chorus:
I see it
You feel it
We know it
Let's do it again
Let's do it, Let's do it
Do it again
I see it
You feel it
We know it
Let's do it again
Let's do it
Let's do it again

Chorus:
Iโ€™m a constant battle in your head
A memory you will not forget
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Iโ€™m a war inside your heart again
You know that you will never win
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Bleed me, you will bleed me

Verse 2:
Oh my god here we go again
Infested in your skin, I know youโ€™re listening
I am your passion, your only desire
I will ignite it, I light it on fire
Set it off, self destruct, I donโ€™t give a fuck

Pre chorus:
I see it
You feel it
We know it
Let's do it again
Let's do it, Let's do it
Do it again
I see it
You feel it
We know it
Let's do it again
Let's do it
Let's do it again

Chorus:
Iโ€™m a constant battle in your head
A memory you will not forget
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Iโ€™m a war inside your heart again
You know that you will never win
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Bleed me out

Bridge
Iโ€™m alive in you (Iโ€™m alive in you)
Iโ€™m alive in you (Iโ€™m alive in you)

Iโ€™m ripping out
Iโ€™m tearing out of you (You)
Iโ€™m ripping out
Iโ€™m tearing out of you (You)

Chorus:
Iโ€™m a constant battle in your head
A memory you will not forget
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Iโ€™m a war inside your heart again
You know that you will never win
Bleed me, you will bleed me
Bleed me, you will bleed me

LYRICS:
Nightfall has darkened these fields of winter
Snow white are covered my brothers out there
Bodies in camouflage, torn and tortured
Price to be free one more night

I was a student, my father a teacher
We loved our lives and we lived it peaceful
Now we must carry these guns and armour
With our end coming in sight

Doomed in our anger and fear of the downfall
Weโ€™re forced to be dying to live
Senseless aggression to kill and destroy all
Weโ€™re forced to be dying to live
Sacrificed for our hope for redemption
Although we had so much to give
Weโ€™re dying to live

Trust in our cultural evolution
Was built on sand, like our constitution
No one believed this would come back to us
We felt so safe and secure

How can one man dare to throw the whole world
Into the abyss of ruin and downfall
Tyranny offers just death and destruction
There is no future for sure

Doomed in our anger and fear of the downfall
Weโ€™re forced to be dying to live
Senseless aggression to kill and destroy all
Weโ€™re forced to be dying to live
Sacrificed for our hope for redemption
Although we had so much to give
Weโ€™re dying to live

Please give us peace
We gave it all we can give
We canโ€™t take no more
โ€šCause we are dying to live

Doomed in our anger and fear of the downfall
Weโ€™re forced to be dying to live
Senseless aggression to kill and destroy all
Weโ€™re forced to be dying to live
Sacrificed for our hope for redemption
Although we had so much to give
Weโ€™re dying to live
Weโ€™re dying to live

Lyrics:

I wear this badge of sorrow and despair
With blood on my hans iโ€™d like to declare
From human flesh i shall disengage
No longer living, feeling the worlds rage

I see reflections in the water
I see reflections in the sky
I see reflections in my mind
I see reflections of the dead all the time

My soul it seems like itโ€™s in disrepair
I close my eyes and we will say a prayer
Iโ€™m walking on a bed of rusty nails
This night with death we will have an affair

I see reflections in the water
I see reflections in the sky
I see reflections in my mind
I see reflections of the dead all the time
I see reflections in the water
I see reflections in the sky
I see reflections in my mind
I see reflections of the dead all the time
In the sky
All the time

For more than 20 years, vocalist/guitarist Michael Poulsen has been spearheading Danish rock and roll machine Volbeat, releasing eight full-lengths, selling millions of albums, and filling stadiums worldwide. Before fronting Volbeat, however, Poulsen formed death metal band Dominus, which recorded four fast, brutal albums in the mid '90s. When Poulsen was putting together songs for Volbeat's 2021 album, Servant Of The Mind, he wrote a bunch of death metal riffs and saved them on his phone. Then, when he was done with the Volbeat record, he reopened the rusty gates to Armageddon and started putting together songs for his new death metal band Asinhell, whose debut album Impii Hora (Latin for Ungodly Hour), is a tribute to Poulsen's favourite old-school groups. The songs are rooted in crushing riffs yet injected with strong guitar hooks and shout-along refrains.

"We're very excited to share the first taste of Asinhell with 'Fall Of The Loyal Warrior,'" says Poulsen. "The song is kind of a tribute to bands I love, like Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Autopsy, Grave, and Darkthrone. They're the reason why we can do this in the first place, and we're proud to wear our influences on our sleeve. The album was inspired by late '80s and early '90s old school death metal, and one of our brightest points of inspiration was the mighty Death, fronted by the legendary Chuck Schuldiner. There's a lot of Death in there. Schuldiner is one of my favorite death metal vocalists, the other being our vocalist Marc [Grewe]. So to me, this song is the combination of two of my favorites. 'Let the metal flow,' as Chuck would have said!"

While Poulsen sings in Volbeat and sang for Dominus, he didn't want to front Asinhell. So, in March 2022, he called his old friend, ex-Morgoth singer Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease) and invited him to join the party. "I had known Michael quite a long time and he always mentioned that we should do a death metal project one day, but I never took him too seriously because he was so busy with Volbeat," Grewe says. "Then he called for real and said, 'Yeah, I want to do it now. Are you up for it?' Immediately, I was 'Yes, of course!'"

After considering drummer friends from established bands, Poulsen asked Morten Toft Hansen from Danish group Raunchy to join. Not only does Morten play like a fiend possessed, his and Poulsen's six-year-old daughters are good friendsโ€ฆ and, it takes just 10 minutes to drive to Morten's place.
The two veteran musicians started practicing and completed a full song almost every time they got together. Grewe was tied up at home in Germany when it came time to write the vocals, so Poulsen sent the singer phone recordings from rehearsals to start the process. Through Poulsen and Toft Hansen's years of experience and renewed hunger to destroy, they captured a firestorm in a bottle.

Asinhell went from being a mere idea to recording the piledriving full-length Impii Hora in about a year. Poulsen asked Volbeat's management to help find a home for Asinhell and was thrilled when they mentioned that Metal Blade founder Brian Slagel would love the band. As soon as he heard Impii Hora, Slagel made Asinhell a top priority. "It's such a dream come true for me to get to be on fucking Metal Blade Records," Poulsen exclaims. "When they said they wanted to put out the album, I felt like I was 17 years old again. I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm making a deal with Metal Blade! How cool is that?' It was like I was finally getting the record deal I dreamed of when I was a teenager."
