HOLOCAUSTO "Guerra Total" Demo


"Guerra Total" is the title of the 4 tracks demo by Brazilian "guerrileiros" HOlOCAUSTO.  The demo was recorded during a rehearsas session for the upcoming full length album on Nuclear War Now!.

Stay tuned for further details regarding formats and release date.







NATTRAVNEN "Kult Of The Raven"



NATTRAVNEN revealed details for the debut album "Kult Of The Raven", to be released through Transcending Obscurity Records.

There are high expectations placed on this album, due to the  fact that the personel involved in this project are two brilliant muscicians of the scene. Kam Lee, ex-Massacre, ex-Death,  who has recently released exellent music in projects / bands such as Akatharta, The Grotesquery or his solo project Kam Lee; together with Jonny Pettersson, who has also released great albums with Ursinne, Wombbath, or very recently the debut album by Heads For The Dead.
With all these precedents we can expect nothing but great quality in the music and the concept of this album, something that is clearly glimpsed after listening to the track "Suicidium, The Seductress Of Death" unveiled a few months ago on the Label Sampler. 
I would venture to say that this could be one of the albums of the year. The artwork by Juanjo Castellano, the logo was created by Transcending Obscurity owner Kunal Choksi. Pre-orders will be available soon.
