(MUCK POOL NEWS) FINNISH HEAVY METALLERS DEMONESSA UNLEASH HORROR-THEMED 2-SONG SINGLE "TASTE OF BLOOD" JUST IN TIME FOR SAMHAIN (TRADITIONAL HEAVY METAL, SELF-RELEASED)



Finnish heavy metal outfit Demonessa is rising from the crypts to drop a lethal new two-song single, "Taste of Blood" (+ bonus track), launching straight into the wild on October 31.

Culled from the same writing sessions as their debut full-length Wild 'N' Loud, these darker tracks were held back specifically to serve as a horror-themed offensive for Halloween. As an added slaughter, the release features a streamlined bonus version of "Till Death Do Us Part," completely stripping the minute-long acoustic intro to get straight to the heavy meat of the song.
Following the departure of Jones Tervas, a new machine with steel calves known as Jerry Iron has hopped onto the heavy metal drum kit stool, delivering a thunderous backbone performance. The new drums, mics, and recording space were mixed and mastered by veteran audio specialist Aleksis Pelli at Mix Studio 1101.
The main compositions were forged by guitarist John Creweholm, with vocalist S3nsku commanding the lyric sheets and vocal melodies.
To give the single a proper cinematic visual counterpart, the release is accompanied by a vampire-themed music video inspired by classic vintage horror cinema. The storyline tracks a vampire whose primal bloodlust becomes her ultimate downfall after an attack in the dark woods leaves her too blinded by the ecstasy of the kill to notice the rising sun. The video was directed and edited by John Creweholm, with S3nsku handling camera duties for actors Fiona Fyhr and Sakari Mattila.
DEMONESSA Line-up:
  • S3nsku – Vocals
  • John Creweholm – Guitars
  • Hugo M. Raze – Guitars
  • Peet von Rowanskerry – Bass
  • Jerry Iron – Drums

AMULET - "SO COLD" (RISING PHOENIX) (SINGLE, DARKWAVE, DISTORTION PRODUCTIONS, REVIEW)

Image
So Cold (Rising Phoenix)  is the first single from the forthcoming EP ' Purification ' due for release via Distortion Productions on November, 28th.  Amulet is a DC artist and So Cold (Rising Phoenix) is the synthpop incarnation of the darkwave rock track of the same name, and is a faster paced re-imagined version.  It has a contagious tempo with clear vocals that flow in and out with the melody. A very goth tone from what Bog could hear, which has been nicely laced on top of the beat. It's well composed, sectioned together strongly with the hook and transitions. Bog could hear the riffs in the background on an earlier part of the song, which was a good touch, and Bog assumed they are maybe from the original version of So Cold . We aren't too familiar with this style of music, or the artist, but Stephanie Stryker's vocals stand out. They also carry a style that could transfer across  to goth rock/goth metal, and possibly traditional heavy metal. We aren't sure ...

TOMB SLAB (SLUDGE, REVIEW) - SELF TITLED (RELEASED JULY 17TH, ROAD TO MASOCHIST RECORDS)

Image
Bog Land classic coming up here y'all! Tomb Slab embody the stench, muck, dirt, and pure stinky ass dirty unclean rivers of mud that flow through special areas of the swamp. They are hideously revolting and play a gut wrenching style of sludge with some doomy potions! The album is as disgusting as the time Bog had to use a nail file to remove the mould between his ball sack and thigh. Sometimes you have to use toilet paper to wipe it off, but it had dried a little too hard, so it was a fun day, but enough of the Bog mishap memoirs for now.  Bog is attempting the selector lens, but he may f*ck off into commentary mode whilst rolling around in bog water from pure excitement.  Tomb Slab are on the  Road To Masochist  roster along with fellow sickness sludge mongers  BLÜDWYRM . All of them have caught Bog's ear, so shout to y'all!   1. Kingdom of Tyranny opens with a crushing riff intro supported by the vocals in a symphony of desolate grime to assault th...

BLOOD HANDSOME: 'NOSTALGIA HOLD' (STRICT TEMPO, RELEASED SEPT 5TH, DARKWAVE/SYNTH, REVIEW)

Image
Bog was due to write about Blood Handsome later on the schedule, but it was moved forward to feature something different from other underground music. Bog will be writing from the stance of what he hears, he doesn't know too much about this/or the particular style/scene, so disclaimer alert. Bog writes about what he hears, and how it makes him think/feel. Blood Handsome opens with Abandon,  which is an up tempo track with a beat that people can move/bounce too. Futuristic and feels ahead of its time, but also embodies the synth/goth influences, which Bog can hear. I guess dark synth with a little cyberpunk to a point that invokes the imagination to think of cyberpunk movies/novels, and generally space/planets, and all things in the not so distant future.  Abandon has a sinister/dark vibe, leaving the impression of robots dancing on a space station. Leaving imagination world for a moment, and turning attention to the music itself for a deeper dive, an attempted one, hop...
