French female-fronted modern metal act Pyrah is thrilled to announce the release of their latest video for the single “End Of The Slope“, taken from the critically acclaimed album Veni Vidi Delevi, available now via Wormholedeath. Known for their powerful blend of aggressive riffs and emotionally charged lyrics, Pyrah delivers a fresh take on modern metal with a fierce, unmistakable edge.

End of the Slope” takes you deep into the shadows of regret and emotional torment. A relentless cycle of guilt, haunting memories, and suffocating isolation—fear and hope collide in this extreme metal journey. Prepare to face the darkness within.

Veni Vidi Delevi showcases Pyrah’s evolution into a force to be reckoned with. Combining early metal influences with a modern twist, the record is packed with crushing guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and the striking vocals of their powerhouse frontwoman. Fans of Once Human, Jinjer, and Vexed will find much to love in this bold, unapologetic offering. Prepare to lose yourself in the headbanging chaos!

The band’s path to this moment has been anything but conventional. After the success of their 2019 single “Stumble” from Part of the Ghost World, PYRAH embarked on their most ambitious project yet. Despite navigating lineup changes and a self-production journey that tested their limits, their efforts caught the discerning eye of WormholeDeath. The result? Veni Vidi Delevi—a powerful reflection of their growth, infused with a darker, more aggressive edge inspired by their Italian studio surroundings and personal introspection.

Female Fronted Metal Sensations BRAINDRAG Presents Try Not To Fall (Official Lyric Video)

Barcelona’s rising metal stars BRAINDRAG are proud to present the lyric video for the track “Try Not To Fall“, taken from the band’s masterpiece album “Coure Roent“, out via Wormholedeath.

This track is a powerful anthem for staying strong and true to yourself! Let the lyrics remind you to keep your feet on the ground and your head held high, even when life throws its curveballs. It’s a song about finding your inner strength and chasing your dreams!

Watch the Official Video for “Try Not To Fall” BELOW:

BRAINDRAG, formed in 2013 by Enric GS, has evolved through lineup changes to become a force in Barcelona’s music scene. With the addition of vocalist Mireia Pérez, their professionalism soared, leading to the release of the EP “Atreverme” in 2019. Despite pandemic setbacks, the band bounced back with new members and began recording their debut album “Coure Roent“. Their singles “Salta,” “Try Not To Fall“, and “Rhapsody” teased the album’s release in 2023. After supporting Elisa C. Martin on tour, they dropped “Coure Roent” marking a new era for BRAINDRAG.

Their album “Coure Roent” differs from anything you have heard. With soulful riffs, musically it is hard and sensitive, sweeping and romantic. It could be defined as alternative metal, sometimes progressive, powerful, and elegant, wrapped in technology and good melodies. It is an original and authentic project that doesn’t pretend to sound like anything else.

Symphonic Metal Force From Brazil Poised to Take the World by Storm

Brace yourselves, metalheads! Hailing from Brazil, female-fronted symphonic metal sensation Revengin is thrilled to announce their signing with Wormholedeath Records for the release of their highly anticipated new album, ‘Dark Dogma Embrace‘, set to drop in early 2025. More details on this groundbreaking release will be revealed soon.

Formed in 2008 by a collective of seasoned musicians hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Revengin is here to melt your face with their brand of symphonic brutality.

To celebrate this monumental signing, the band unleashes their first single, “Circle of Mistakes,” a sonic masterpiece that serves as a powerful introduction to the forthcoming album.

Circle of Mistakes” explores the duality we all carry within ourselves, the denial of our flaws that keeps us trapped in a self-perpetuating cycle of negativity.

A Journey of Liberation

Circle of Mistakes” is an anthem for self-awareness. Heavy, pummeling verses lay the foundation for a soaring, powerful chorus that lays bare the complexities of human nature. The song is a call to confront our weaknesses, for it’s only through acceptance that we can truly break free. The track’s closing section beautifully reflects this liberation, a soul unburdened from the shackles that held it back, ready to embrace its full potential.

Circle of Mistakes” was meticulously crafted through a collaborative effort between Revengin, the talented Caio Mendonça, and Rômulo Pirozzi. The track was recorded at the legendary Tellus Studio (home to recordings by Onslaught, Ektomorf, and Borknagar), with mixing and mastering handled by the masterful Caio Mendonça.

Visually Stunning Accompaniment

The song’s emotional depth is further amplified by the stunning music video for “Circle of Mistakes“. Scripted by Bruna Rocha and brought to life by director Felipe Borges, the video utilizes a striking color scheme of cyan and amber to symbolize human duality. Shadows and smoke weave a tapestry of emotional intensity, perfectly complementing the song’s lyrical themes. The band’s passionate performance further elevates the viewing experience.

Watch the Official Video for “Circle of Mistakes” BELOW:

Seasoned Warriors of the Metal Realm

Revengin has already established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the global heavy metal scene. They’ve toured extensively across Europe and South America, leaving audiences in awe in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Netherlands, Germany, and Argentina. Their impressive festival appearances include the legendary Rock in Rio, where they shared the stage with titans like Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, and Gojira.

The current lineup of Revengin features the formidable Bruna Rocha (vocals), the gutturally gifted Thiago Contrera (guitar), the shredding Themys Barros (guitar), the groove master Diego Pirozzi (bass), and the powerhouse Nacife jr (drums).

UNLEASH THE FURY

Circle of Mistakes” is available now on all major digital platforms. Don’t miss this chance to experience a genre-bending masterpiece!

Album Review Staff Review

Ammify – Lost, Not Hiding (Review)

When WormHoleDeath announced the signing of Australian-based duo Ammify last month, I’ll admit that I was immediately intrigued by it. Not least because of the Italian label’s proven track record when it comes to finding superb artists (especially from Australia), but also because of the uniqueness and scale promised by this new musical endeavour. The debut album, “Lost, Not Hiding“, which is set to be released on June 14, represents the cumulative expertise of Ammy Phoenix (vocals/lyrics), who no doubt inspired the band’s name, along with her counterpart, Pete Renzullo (music/production).

The latter, recalls the response from the label when they first heard their music: “They said it was a very powerful album and they mentioned Ammy’s voice, of course. They were just very impressed that the style was quite unique. One of the guys said that we’ve managed to find our own universe and that of the artists they’ve previously signed, nothing like this has come across before.” And that analysis is spot on. This is something quite different. But if you had to categorise the production somehow, then it would broadly fall under the banner of cinematic metal (or CineMetal as the band themselves have affectionately coined).

And while this makes the third album of this style that I’m reviewing in as many months, I’m too far down this rabbit hole to stop now. Particularly when “Lost, Not Hiding” seems to be pushing the boundaries of this new trend more than ever before. There are times when I’m not even sure what I’m listening to, or if it even really qualifies as metal. But one thing that I do know for certain is that it’s constantly engaging. And considering the album itself is just shy of 60 minutes long, that could be considered an achievement on its own. One reason is because of the strong storytelling, which seems to be synonymous with this genre. Even if the thematic content here trends towards darker and more intense topics. Such as on first single, “Cowards Way Out“, which sounds like the recital of a suicide note by Ammy, ending on the weighty, and chilling lyric “I had no choice“.

In fact, much of the album follows this sadder tone. But it is also coupled with a feeling of resilience, and resolving to find the inner strength to overcome one’s struggles. As seen on “Canary“, where Ammy musters up the will to go on: “Even though you clipped my wings // Nothing can keep me from the sky // I’ll never stop until I rise // I’ll never hide away // I can reach the far horizon“. A message that is overwhelmingly positive. So it comes down to how you’re willing to interpret the atmosphere at the end of the day. Just be prepared for an emotionally-affecting journey either way. Other hard-hitting moments include the song “Grief“, featuring a clearly distraught Ammy, which she expresses through her mournful (verging on wailing) vocal work. No words are spoken, but neither are they needed. The message and associated feelings are powerfully received all the same.

You can’t help but wonder how much of this might be autobiographical. The phoenix tattoo on Ammy’s shoulder suggests that she has been through some of life’s ordeals. And she is clearly able to tap into some raw emotions. Though her singing always possesses a serene tranquility, despite what she might be feeling at the time. And again, the implied notion is to keep holding one’s head above water, much like the album’s illustrated cover. This leads me to another point that is worth discussing, which is the attention to detail in the band’s visual presentation. The epitome being reached with their music video for “The Truth Will Set You Free“, which is a direct reflection of their cinematic aspirations, making use of green screen technology and cool props and costume designs so as to bring the medieval setting to life. These scenes are interspersed with performance clips of Ammy and Pete, who are joined by several other musicians. It does make me wonder how practical it will be for Ammify to tour, given the large contingent apparently required to replicate their sound in a live setting.

It’s entirely understandable though. There is a lot going on in their music. And the truth is that there is a lot to dissect on this album. More than I can realistically cover in this review. Even if I could, doing so would probably deprive listeners of the gift of discovery, and that’s part of the appeal of this album. It is the type of release that encourages repeat listening, notwithstanding the allure of the high-quality musicianship. Each subsequent playthrough reveals something new that you maybe hadn’t noticed before. Ammy and Pete have surely packed a lot in here, and it’s obvious that they make a formidable team together. I haven’t even mentioned one of my favourite tracks yet, which for the record is “Hey! You! (Over and Over)“, with its laidback jazz-lounge infused passages. There’s even a hidden track in here. A concept which may seem foreign to most people brought up on streaming, but which I’m absolutely grateful to see supported again (and it’s definitely worth seeking out). As this is their very first album, you really couldn’t ask for anything more from Ammify. It sets up the band perfectly for the future, and highlights a creative freedom that already differentiates them from the rest of the competition.

Verdict: Ammify’s “Lost, Not Hiding” continues to establish the legitimacy of cinematic metal as a genre unto itself. The album brings listeners a truly unique soundscape and narrative structure, while simultaneously presenting it with an impactful honesty that’s bound to foster a deeper connection with the audience.

Modern Metal Band Conspiracy of Blackness Sign With Wormholedeath

Female-fronted modern metal sensation Conspiracy of Blackness has inked a deal with Wormholedeath for the reissue of their critically acclaimed album “Pain Therapy.” The highly anticipated re-release is scheduled for September 22nd, 2023, and promises to captivate metal enthusiasts with its powerful and aggressive sound.

The band states:

We are absolutely thrilled and honored to announce our signing with Wormholedeath Records/Warner! Joining this incredible family of professionals fills us with immense pride. From the very beginning, starting with Max Enix (A&R at WHD) and then with owner Carlo Bellotti, we have felt appreciated and right at home. Their genuine interest in our work has been evident throughout. Carlo Bellotti, the owner, stands out for his competence and professionalism. He is a kind and helpful individual, as is his entire staff, always ready to provide valuable suggestions. We firmly believe that Wormholedeath is a crucial stepping stone for our artistic growth, and we genuinely feel that we are in the perfect place at the perfect time.
With the support of Wormholedeath, we will be releasing our highly anticipated second album, “Pain Therapy,” and we cannot wait to share it with all of you. Stay tuned for more updates!

“Pain Therapy” is an introspective journey born from profound disappointment and a fierce desire to denounce the afflictions of the human soul and the world at large. Each song serves as a firsthand account or witnesses to a story, collectively shedding light on pressing issues. From the pains of loneliness and the anxieties of judgment to the frustrations of injustice and lack of understanding, the album weaves a dense tapestry of emotions that connect its tracks. Through honest depiction, we aim to awaken society to its indifference toward the most vulnerable, stirring souls and raising awareness of the countless challenges individuals face as they search for solace. Departing from its Heavy Metal and NWOBHM influences, “Pain Therapy” embraces a darker and more powerful sound characteristic of Nu Metal/Alternative Metal. It reflects our innermost thoughts with contrasting yet impactful emotions, a result of our personal growth and diverse musical inspirations, ranging from Korn, Lacuna Coil, In This Moment, and Evanescence to the likes of Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Tears For Fears. The album serves as a conceptually rich experience, offering a soundtrack to our lives. Like a meticulously crafted book, every aspect has been painstakingly developed, including lyrics, artwork, and music, resulting in a microcosm of profound and discordant feelings. Each track tells its own unique story, with fallen and lost protagonists extending a supporting hand, reminding us all that we are not alone. These characters, flawed and broken, piece themselves together gradually, offering a glimpse of hope amidst the turmoil.

Conspiracy of Blackness comprises Antonio Bortone on guitar, Grazia Riccardo on vocals, Andrea Caliri on bass, and Francesco Salerno on drums. Together, they bring a diverse range of talents and a shared passion for creating powerful and immersive music that resonates with metal enthusiasts worldwide.
