DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS
COUNTRY: POLAND
GENRE: BLACK DEATH METAL



DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS’ “THE I” ALBUM TO FEATURE SPECIAL GUESTS APPEARANCES BY MERCYFUL FATE / KING DIAMOND’S MIKE WEAD AND BY ARES OF AETERNUS. ALBUM’S COVER ART AND TRACKLIST REVEALED.
[2017.06.29]

Hailing from Poland, the epic black / death metallers of DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS will release their new album, “The I” on September 22nd, 2017 via Lifeforce Records. The album will be available as CD digipak, limited vinyl LP and digital download.

Recorded at various studios, including Dobra 12 Studio (drums) and Icaros Studio (guitars) the disc was mixed and mastered at Impressive-Art Studio by Przemyslaw Nowak who also handled vocals recording sessions and guitars’ re-amping. The album’s artwork, design and layout were created by Infected Minds. Photo session by Robert Zembrzycki and Pawel Kowalski of BandPhoto

The album features special guest appearances by MERCYFUL FATE / KING DIAMOND’s guitarist Mike Wead and by Norway’s dark metal masters AETERNUS vocalist / guitarist Ares. Other artists who also contributed to the record are shamanic ritual meditative experimental act BÖN and Impressive-Art Studio’s owner PRZEMYSLAW NOWAK who came up with interludes, additional background tunes and effects.

“It’s been a really long way to be finally able to wrap it all up, countless nights spent on writing the music and lyrics first, then working on the album’s pre-production, followed by what seemed to be never-ending, proper recording sessions, and tones of work that had to be done for the band afterwards. We really wanted this new album to become something really special and therefore, to avoid any haphazard decisions, we let them come out of us smoothly, without putting ourselves under any external tension and stuff. Did it pay off? Well, we’ll see… We surely worked our asses off, pushed things back and forth to get the best out of it. As a result we’ve got something we are damn proud of, something that we believe surpasses on all possible levels everything we’ve done in the past. I simply believe we’d outdone ourselves and recorded something that will cause your hearts beat faster…” comments Quazarre, the band’s composer, vocalist and guitarist.

The title chosen, “The I”, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym of the band’s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since the Horde’s inception in the year 2000 – the notion of freedom of choice and will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and paradigms. “The I” is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection.

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS “THE I” - Out September 22 on Lifeforce Records.




DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS RETURN TO LIFEFORCE RECORDS. NEW ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER 2017.
[2017.06.12]

Formed in the year 2000 as a studio project and then as a regular live-band six years later, DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS from Poland is a dominant Black Death metal band that’s quickly pummeling through the genre and making their way to fans and media around the globe.

After already having released their 2012 third studio album “Simulacra” with Lifeforce Records we are very happy to welcome back DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS to the Lifeforce Records roster for the release of their new album “The I”, which is set to come out in late September.

“I’m thrilled to work with Devilish Impressions again to hopefully push the band to the next level. The guys in the band are dedicated hard workers. They know exactly what they want, what is needed to reach their goal and their new album is very big step forward musically. I truly believe we can turn some heads with “The I”! - comments Lifeforce Records owner Stefan Lüedicke.

The title chosen, “The I”, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym of the band’s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since the Horde’s inception in the year 2000 – the notion of freedom of choice and will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and paradigms. “The I” is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection.

In 2016, DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS joins the elite roster of New York based EXTREME MANAGEMENT GROUP alongside notable bands such as SUFFOCATION, CATTLE DECAPITATION, ORIGIN, CRYPTOPSY, ATHEIST, RINGS OF SATURN, KING PARROT, INTERNAL BLEEDING and many more. With the newfound partnership, both sides will work together in making the band’s future endeavors the most prominent and impactful with their fans respectively and the rest of the metal genre.

SUSPERIA
COUNTRY: NORWAY
GENRE: HEAVY / THRASH METAL

SUSPERIA SIGN WITH AGONIA RECORDS
!
[2017.06.29]

Norway's melodic extreme metallers SUSPERIA, comprising former members of Dimmu Borgir and Satyricon , have inked a record deal with Agonia Records, with plans to release their long-awaited new album, "The Lyricist". By the same token, SUSPERIA will close the eight-year gap that separates their last opus, "Attitude"" (2009).

"The Lyricist" will be the first studio album to showcase new vocalist, Bernt Fjellestad (a.k.a. Dagon, central figure in the picture), whose official stage debut with the band was made at last year's 70000tons Of Metal Festival at sea.

The band commented on the signing and upcoming material: "Susperia is proud to announce the signing with Agonia Records for our upcoming album "The Lyricist". It’s going to be a harder and more grim album, going back to Susperia’s black roots!".

SUSPERIA may have their roots in the Norwegian black metal scene, but it is merely a starting point for a band that describes their music as "extreme metal with melodic twists". A simple philosophy of "no boundaries" demonstrates that the band has no hesitation in embracing and exploring a variety of musical avenues with ease.

The origins of the Oslo based group can be traced back to 1998 when Tjodalv, then occupying the drum seat with Dimmu Borgir, and long-time friend Cyrus (ex-Satyricon, Old Man's Child) got together to share ideas and write songs. A chance meeting between vocalist Athera and Tjodalv at 1999’s Wacken Festival in Germany would lead to the completion of the SUSPERIA line-up, as Athera brought in also two other members - bass guitarist Memnock and guitarist Elvorn.

The band's line-up can easily be described as a long-lasting one, with all original members in place since its inception, and the exception of Dagon filling in Athera's boots, after the latter's departure in 2015. But even Dagon isn't new to SUSPERIA. He performed with it on several occasions as a live mussician, at times Athera had other engagements. Primarily a heavy metal signer, Dagon has mastered also other vocal techincs, performing with the band. Nowadays, there's new found confidence and determination running through the SUSPERIA camp.

With five studo albums under the belt and an etiquette of a powerful live act, SUSPERIA has consistently remained focused on the live area. The band's numerous high profile shows include supports to W.A.S.P., In Flames, Destruction and Dimmu Borgir, as well as headline and festival appearances. One of the group’s most cherished experiences thus far, remains the invitation to be the main support to the newly reformed Testament, in late 2005.

More news on SUSPERIA's sixth full-length album "The Lyricist" will follow soon.

Line-up:

Tjodalv -

Memnock -

Cyrus -
