Rituale im Abgrund
Death Metal mit Hang zum Doom- sowie Black Metal mal anders! Live-Zeremonien, die über die bloßen gespielten Klänge hinausgeht.
Guyođ
Gegründet im Jahr 2020 in Graz, Österreich, haben sich GUYOĐ einer einzigartigen Spielart des Death Metal mit starkem Hang zum Doom- sowie Black Metal verschrieben. GUYOÐs Live-Zeremonien sind eine eindringliche Erfahrung, die von einer Intensität getrieben werden, die über die bloßen gespielten Klänge hinausgeht. Die Hauptinspirations-quelle für sowohl Musik als auch Texte bildet die endlose Tiefe und Finsternis des Ozeans, die gestalterische und zerstörerische Kraft des Wassers, die trostlosen Weiten des großen Unbekannten. GUYOĐs erste Veröffentlichung, die Split ALLUVIAL SOIL mit LEHM, erschien am 23.01.2022. Das erste Album erscheint am 4. November 2023 und wird über Grazil Records und Kvlt und Kaos Productions auf CD, LP und MC veröffentlicht werden. Die erste Singleauskopplung „Watcher in the Dark“ wurde am 25. September 2023 gemeinsam mit einem Video von Revvidy veröffentlicht.
Excruciation
Formed in 1984 to smash juvenile frustration and aggression into a hostile world with terms such as Death, Doom & Thrash Metal.
Their first demo had remarkable airplay in US-underground radio stations and even reached No.1 for several weeks. Excruciation’s first official release “The last Judgment” sold over 15,000 copies and reached Switzerland’s Top 100.
Following the release was a successful tour of Switzerland and abroad, as well as becoming the first Swiss metal band to tour in ex-communist Germany.
Excruciation was ready for international take over with the 1991 world wide release of “Anno Domini…” which sold over 20’000 copies , a very respectable amount at the time for an underground metal release. In 1991 due to various musical and personal differences Excruciation took an indefinite time out.
In 2005 for old times’ sake and seemingly long forgotten friendship all the original members came together again. After that eventful evening Excruciation was reborn and resurrected from the dead. And contrary to expectations, in 2005 “Arise“ saw the light of day!
Re-energized and reinspired by the music the band focused on the first full length album in their entire history “Angels to some, demons to others”, released in early 2007, followed by “[t]horns” in 2009 and in doing so re-established the bands status once again. 2012 saw the re-release of Excruciation’s early works “Last Judgement” & “First Assault” on vinyl by the Italian label “F.O.A.D. Records” and a live recording from 1987 being released on tape by “The Ritual Productions” from the Netherlands, who also released [t]horns on vinyl in 2013.
In 2014 [g]host, Excruciation third full-length was released, an intense journey into humanity’s darkest and deepest abysses! Released through Auric Records & Gadget Records/Phonag in Switzerland.
Next step deeper into darkness will be the album [c]rust to be released by WormHoleDeath Records in collaboration with the bands own label Auric Records!
On [c]rust, Excruciation will forge their versatile influences ranging from 80s Dark Wave and Crustcore to oldschool Black, Death and Doom Metal into a new piece of extreme metal!
