Unholy Desecration EP Review
Many
of you may be familiar with Dante’s “Inferno”, which is the
first part of the 3-part epic poem, Divine
Comedy, written in
the 14th
century. With exquisite and savory detail, Dante describes an
excursion through the 9 circles of hell. Whether or not you know this
masterpiece, fear not because Unholy Desecration have taken the
liberty of supplying the world with a worthy soundtrack to the epic
work that drags you through hell and back multiple times.
There was
no official soundtrack to “Inferno”, but Unholy Desecration have
just recently changed that with their “hellishly wonderful” (how
is that for an oxymoron!) 3-song Born
of Evil EP released
through Confused Records. Unholy Desecration have captured an aura of
raw hellfire in this recording that is hard to come by. This
south-Texas quintet have teased the extreme music scene with a
snippet of what is to come. Each track is furious, raw and savage.
The raw, anguished vocals take me back to the true days of black
metal back when Dark Throne’s A
Blaze in the Northern Sky
and Bathory’s Under
the Sign of the Black Mark
were making constant rounds on my turntable. But wait…track 2,
“Born of Evil” takes us back to the Human
Waste days of
Suffocation as vocalist Fremitus Diaboli takes the take down several
notches to death metal glory. There is some really impressive vocal
ranges and power that, to me, highlight this EP. Arnold “Blast”
endlessly pounds his defenseless drums to a pulp and nicely keeps the
music at a frantic pace but not without nice tempo changes that
emphasize the darkness in some parts of the compositions. “Blades
of War” closes out this impressive debut disc. The memorable
riffing leaves a taste of heavenly foulness in your mouth that leaves
you brazenly salivating for more. The song structures flow nicely,
and although each song is blistering fast, these are more than just
non-stop, 100 miles an hour songs; this is also flavorful catchiness
that leaves your head pounding even after you’ve stopped listening
because you suddenly realize that too much evilness may be too much
if taken in all at once. Luckily, Unholy Desecration have slowly
eased us in to their fiery world with a brief, 14-minute EP, but be
ready because their next offering may not be so considerate of our
thresholds. I hope these guys keep their raw, unpolished sound in
their next offering because this aura does a lot for this music. It’s
like when Possessed recorded Seven
Churches; it was
magic. If Possessed were to re-record Seven
Churches today, I
seriously doubt it would measure up to the original because that
magic at that given moment could not be duplicated. This is what
Unholy Desecration have done; they captured a certain aura and sound
that adds to the recording.

EXCEPT ONE JOINS PINK! PR
Except One is the brainchild born from four musicians, who wanted to share their universe.
After several dates in the South of France, a Parisian stage Tour and several pub crawls, the band released their first OP “O.M.N.I. #1” (French acronym for Unidentified Musical Object).
The group then focused on live dates and saw the long awaited arrivals of a cat, a mixer, and –
especially – a second guitarist. This new addition (the guitarist, not the cat) allowed the band to
develop their musical style. This evolution can be witnessed in the new 7 titles EP “Haunted
Humanity”.
And to resume, Except One is flowers, birds and children … all thrown in a blender!
This is high impact for radio / press now!! request for interviews can be set up by emailing metalcoffefpr@gmail.com

WITHERFALL RELEASE ACOUSTIC VERSION OF "ODE TO DESPAIR"
(Los Angeles, CA - March 1, 2019) -
US dark melodic metal band WITHERFALL have announced the r
elease of their acoustic ver
sion of "Ode to Despair". The original recording can be found on WITHER
FALL's previous album A Prelude To Sorrow. The acoustic version is going to be released on the Vintage EP, which is set for release on March 22nd and will be available during the group's upcoming European tour.
"Being invited as special guests on Sonata Arctica's 'Acoustic Adve
ntures'
tour we knew we had to re-imagine some of our songs to realize the vibe
of the tour. Our partners at Century Media came up with a brilliant
idea of recording a few of these and including them on the upcoming
'Vintage EP'. Being our most successful single to date "Ode to Despair"
was the first one thought of. The track was recorded in a split session
bookending a tour of Japan with Kamelot. Vocals and guitars were
literally followed by a 5am flight to the Far East, then after the tour
we headed straight from the airport to the studio. This is also the
first song to incorporate new keyboardist; Alex Nasla. We also had the
privilege of working with James "Timbali" Cornwell (Earh Wind &
Fire, Janet Jackson) who provided the percussion th
at really makes this track standout."
Fans can listen to the acoustic version of "Ode to Despair" here: https://youtu.be/pq0MCWvrz7s
WITHERFALL previously released their single and Tom Petty cover, "I Won't Back Down", from the Vintage EP. Watch the official music video of the cover here: https://youtu.be/lzxZ3DU_CoI
The Vintage
EP is available for pre-order now. WITHERFALL will be offering an
exclusive green "Verdigris" vinyl limited to 200 copies alongside
t-shirt bundles. The transparent-magenta "Vintage Pinot Noir" vinyl,
limited to 100 copies, is already sold out from Century Media's European
Store.
Black vinyl, the limited hand-numbered CD Digipak, and digital formats are available here: https://witherfallband.
WITHERFALL will be part of Sonata Arctica's "Acoustic Adventures" tour, which is kicking off on March 13th in Oslo, Norway.
