avant-garde Metal

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:

May those of Sense and Earth gather for the new dawn... Enslaved’s new EP “Caravans to the Outer Worlds” was released unto the universe last month. It is a tale of departure, about leaving behind a barren and desolate world, travelling boldly into the future. It signaled the end of an era for the psychedelic Norwegians, hinting at new pastures.

They are a band known for crossing borders, overstepping genre taboos and keeping the (metal) world in suspense. Today, French avantgarde black metallers Celeste take their immersive experience one step closer to the edge: January 28th, 2022, will see the release of the band’s new LP “Assassine(s)”, produced by Chris Edrich (Gojira, Tesseract, The Ocean, Leprous) - a long awaited follow-up to 2017’s “Infidèle(s)”.

There is a red light at the end of the tunnel in this concert deprived time. Having always been an immersive and sensory experience, the shows of French avant-garde black metallers Celeste will be taken to the next level on their upcoming European tour throughout March and April 2022, set to include a UK date at London venue The Dome on March 10th.

Arcturus have announced a European Tour for the celebration of their 31st year anniversary. The tour will take place in Winter 2022. Iotunn will support the band on all dates.

Says the Arcturus:
“We would just like to formally announce that the celebrate our 31 year anniversary we will be touring across Europe with our good friends Iotunn during January and February 2022”.

Swiss firebrand alchemists Zeal & Ardor are excited to announce their forthcoming, self-titled new album, set for release on February 11th, 2022, via MVKA.

There is a desert which is very old, very dry, and very dangerous. Few have ever dared to cross it, and fewer have returned. Some say that it is a desert between places, others say that it is a desert between worlds. Those who have crossed it and returned swear that the desert is another world in itself - an astral bridge, which swallows all but the most well-prepared travelers.
 

Twelve Foot Ninja have announced an immersive multimedia project incorporating the band’s forthcoming album, “Vengeance” (October 15th, 2021, via Volkanik Music) with a high fantasy novel (“The Wyvern and The Wolf” by Nicholas Snelling), and a graphic novel (“Vengeance” available now here). The news arrives with a video for the recently released single, “Start the Fire”. Watch the video below.

A flickering red light glows in the darkness evoking images of a spooky lighthouse in the roaring sea - quite a suitable comparison for avant-garde black metal outlet Celeste, who continue their rise as one of the most promising extreme metal acts with their latest move.

Next February & March, Igorrr will embark on a North American headlining tour, featuring Melt-Banana and Vowws as support.

Dubbed “Spirituality and Distortion North American Tour 2022”, this will be the first stateside trek in support of Igorrr’s critically acclaimed album, “Spirituality and Distortion”, released in March 2020.
