VATTNET VISKAR premiere “In Studio” video The making of Sky Swallower

Posted in All Metal, Artist Watch, New Music, News, Previews, Releases, Uncategorized with tags , , on July 31, 2013 by Randy

(Los Angeles, CA) – Vattnet Viskar have compiled a “Making of” video of their time in the studio recording Sky Swallower, their debut full-length album.  Sky Swallower was recorded at Universal Noise Storage under the watchful eye of producer Brett Boland, and features eight songs’ worth of masterfully executed atmospheric black metal, filtered through the members’ own hardcore pasts and imbued with doom metal’s heart-rending heaviness.  Sky Swallower is due out September 3 on Century Media Records.

WARBRINGER set to release new album IV: Empires Collapse on October 15, 2013

Posted in All Metal, Artist Watch, New Music, News, Previews, Releases, Shows, Uncategorized with tags , , on July 31, 2013 by Randy

(Los Angeles, CA) – L.A.’s own WARBRINGER, have been locked away in The Omen Room studio with producer Steve Evetts (Dillinger Escape Plan, Sepultura, Symphony X)for the past few months and are about to complete their next masterpiece, IV: Empires Collapse. The next level results of the new album are due to each band member pushing their own abilities and working together on the complex arrangements as well as the simple hooks.

 

IV: Empires Collapse is a collective work between the five band members and the producers. “Musically, all five of us brought something for the rest of the group to work off of and we were all a part of chiseling away at the ideas” says drummer Carlos Cruz of the recording process. “Having five band members with eclectic tastes in music from Crust Punk to Progressive music and everything in between brought about new musical directions for the material.”

The band has been documenting the recording process via social networking and capturing everything on film. Here is the latest update:
