Radio Študent, najstarejša evropska študentska radijska postaja, prihodnji mesec praznuje 55-letnico. Na osrednjem dogodku praznovanja bodo 9. maja nastopila štiri zveneča imena aktualne domače glasbene scene: The Canyon Observer, Širom, Etceteral in Haloban. Več informacij o dogodku najdete v našem Napovedniku.

Domači black metalci Dekadent že nekaj časa dražijo z napovedmi o izidu novega albuma. Zdaj pa je band obelodanil, da bo najnovejša stvaritev Dionyst luč sveta ugledala 30. maja pri založbi Dusktone Records.

Heavy/power metal band Forever Storm iz Kragujevca predstavlja video za komad Doktrina pobede z lani izdanega celovečerca Od pepela do večnosti. Za produkcijo videa je poskrbel Bojan Stevanović – Kan i Lingus audio visual stimulation.

 

Kot smo januarja poročali, je v 78. letu starosti umrl Tony Clarkin, kitarist, ustanovitelj britanskih veteranov Magnum. Že takrat se je šušljalo, da to pomeni tudi konec za zasedbo, ki je to zdaj tudi uradno potrdila. Izjava vokalista Boba Catleyja:

»Hello, everybody. Bob here. All right. I wish I didn't have to tell you this, but I really can't carry on with Tony not here anymore. Please forgive me, and I hope you can understand how I feel. I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
Since we lost Tone, we lost our guiding light, the magnum force behind the band, our songwriter, our producer, our guitar player. He was everything to the band. He was everything to me. For the last 50 years, we never went anywhere without each other. On tour, in the studio, I was at his side constantly, working on stuff with him. I had a wonderful life with Tony. But now it's all too much for me, people. I can't carry on without Tony.
I may pop up in some other shape or form in the near future – you never know – but I can't keep going on like this. It's far too sad; it's all too sad.
So, I hope you understand. You've been fantastic – the best audience ever. You kept this band going year after year, album after album, and we thank you for that.
So, be good. Keep Tony's music in your heart always. I know I will. I will always carry MAGNUM inside me. And I will always have Tony Clarkin beside me wherever I go.
I love you. You've been brilliant. But it's time for me to bow out now. It's my last curtain call, okay? I'll see you sometime. Be good. Cheers. Bye-bye.«

Temačni death metalci Adversarial bodo 31. maja izdali nov album z naslovom Solitude With The Eternal​… Za snemanje in miks je poskrbel Vadim Balanyuk, Mmastering pa je opravil Damian Herring v Watchtower Studios. Kako nov izdelek zasedbe zveni, pa preverite na bandovi strani Bandcamp, kjer lahko prisluhnete komadu Merging Within the Destroyer.

Tudi Challenger so bili ena izmed zasedb, ki je nastopila na naši obletnici pretekli vikend. Fantje so le dan po koncertu tudi uradno objavili vest, da so zaključili s snemanjem prvenca, ki je trenutno v fazi miksanja v Hellforge Studio.

Psihedelični temačneži Lares bodo 12. aprila pri Argonauta Records izdali drugi celovečerec z naslovom Et In Arcadia Ego. Kaj pravi zasedba o prihajajoči izdaji, pa lahko preberete spodaj:

»The album is an accidental concept born from the first session we managed to play together after a long and frustrating break necessitated by lockdowns, band members in high risk categories, and mental illness. Without looking for it we found death, isolation, boredom, uncertainty, rage, and an energy that we decided instantly to try to capture and preserve as it was. No additives, no major editing. In the uncertainty of the times, we began to collect recording equipment, slowly transforming our rehearsal space into a recording studio. We developed a ritual of playing and replaying, without click, the whole 27 minutes, until we got better than close to the original, to the perfect simulacra. There is a bonus track included in the album called '10 Hygiea' that is part of the soundtrack of 'Music Appreciation', a short horror movie we collaborated with.«

Angleški ekstremneži Cradle Of Filth se potikajo v studiu, kjer pripravljajo material za 14. dolgometražec. Novico je v svojem profilu Instagram razkrila vokalistka in klaviaturistka Zoë M. Federoff:

»I am beyond humbled to have been allowed to contribute vocals and/or keys to many of the songs on this album. Dani and the guys showed a lot of faith in me for my first album with the gang, and I went in extremely nervous and hellbent on making them all proud. Thank God Dani Filth and producer Scott Atkins are so good at calming my nerves! That was the most fun and relaxing studio session I've had in ages!

Fourteen will be something very special, a distinctly new chapter, and it quite satisfies both the musician and the long-time Cradle fan inside me. A piece of each of our souls lives audibly in it. Prepare yourselves, Filthy family!«

Domači power metalci Space Unicorn On Fire že nekaj časa niso stopili na oder, saj so se posvetili ustvarjanju nove glasbe, ki jo fantje sicer v teh dneh snemajo pri The Kraken Productions v Studiu Urgenca in jo bodo premierno predstavili prav na našem odru. Ljubljančani pravijo takole: »Ključne besede so sence, preporod, prihodnost in gas. Oziroma Cellar Door, Island Rising in Ocean Drive. Samorog je našpičen in pripravljen na dir!«

Pred kratkim je naša uredniška ekipa gostovala na Radiu Študent v oddaji DJ Grafiti, ki ji lahko prisluhnete tukaj.
