Hailing from Poland, Transgressive Dark Rock / Metal band Asgaard are glad to announce the signing with Wormholedeath for their new album “What if…” due for release on March 4th, 2022.

Signing statement:

Northern metal giants Amorphis recently released “The Moon”, a beautifully haunting first taste of their forthcoming album “Halo”, set for release on February 11th, 2022, via Atomic Fire Records. To shorten the wait until the arrival of their second single, “On the Dark Waters” (out on January 28th, 2022), the band has announced a limited 7" blue/white vinyl single of the same name, due out on the same day.

Australian musician Mitch Castell’s solo project Blinded By Hope has signed a licensing deal with Wormholedeath for the album “We Are” due for release on February 18th, 2022.

Blinded By Hope statement:

After releasing their latest masterpiece “Viscera” earlier this year, Demon Head are finally able to announce their first European tour in support of their current album when they will hit the road with their friends in Slaegt.

The two diabolical and urgent orchestras will be touring through Europe for 18 days in March and April next year. Both bands have traveled wide and far on the continent on many previous tours, but there will be first appearances in several cities as well.

With the uncertainties of possible lockdowns and rising infection numbers, planning a pan-European tour is getting near-on impossible and a massive risk for bands around the globe. For this reason, the Swedish glam metal sensation Deathstars see themselves forced to once more postpone their upcoming shows.

Yet, the time will come for fans to finally witness the band live on stage with songs from their new, still untitled album that has been quietly in the making for the past few years.

As the Portuguese pioneers of dark metal, Moonspell, are approaching their 30th anniversary as a band more ambitiously and stronger than ever, 2022 will see them celebrating their impressive career with a busy touring schedule and many more highlights to come.

XCIII is Avantgarde, XCIII is Hypnotic, XCIII is Dark Art.

The French distinctive project created by Guillaume Beringer reveals the amazing cover of their new upcoming album titled “Void”. It was created by Aurélie-Raidron, who really photographed the innermost essence of this album. The album was mastered by Steve Kitch from The Pineapple Thief (Katatonia, Opeth etc.).

Cult Of Luna have announced their new full-length album, “The Long Road North”, set for release on February 11th, 2022, via Metal Blade Records. The album marks as a follow-up to this years “The Raging River” EP, and prove that for over two decades, Cult Of Luna have forged a sound that has grown incomparable to others - ambitious, epic, visceral, and drenched in emotion.

Pre-orders will begin on December 1st, 2021, here.

Rock and metal music have always been a haven for those who have bigger stories to tell; who have grander emotions to convey. For more than thirty years, Finnish figureheads Amorphis have done their best to carve their very own niche in heartfelt yet aggressive, melancholic yet soothing tunes.

On “Halo”, their staggering fourteenth studio effort, the Finns underline their trailblazing status as one of the most original, culturally relevant, and rewarding acts ever to emerge from the land of the thousand lakes.
