ALLEAGON (Metal Blade)

BORIS THE BLADE (Century Media/Soar) - Thanks to their balls-to-wall brand of technical deathcore, Melbourne?s BORIS THE BLADE have earned a reputation amongst fans worldwide for being Australia?s most violently heavy metal act.

The release of their debut EP ?Tides of Damnation? in 2011 on RTD Records marked the beginning of the bands rapid ascent to the top tier of the Australian brutal music scene. The EP debuted at #1 on the iTunes metal chart, culminating in national tours and support slots for international metal acts - and Australia?s own Parkway Drive ? all within the bands first 6 months of existence.

The success of the EP was followed up with extensive touring, including supporting Obey The Brave (CAN), All Shall Perish (USA), Thy Art Is Murder (AUS) and Bleeding Through (USA) on their final Australian tour. 2014 sees BORIS THE BLADE sign with Siege of Amida / Century Media for the worldwide release of their debut LP ?The Human Hive?, as the band takes their live assault global.

ALTERBEAST (Unique Leader) - Sacramento technical death metal militia, ALTERBEAST, is pleased to unleash their full-length debut via Unique Leader this Spring! Titled Immortal, the eight track monster offering was meticulously assembled in several locals throughout 2013. With guitars and bass recorded at Augmented Audio in Los Angeles with former The Black Dahlia Murder bassist Ryan ?Bart? Williams, vocals arranged at Mayhemeness Studios in Sacramento by Bob Swanson (Rings Of Saturn) and drums tracked at Castle Ultimate Studios with Zack Ohren (Light This City, All Shall Perish, First Blood, Cattle Decapitation, Warbringer et al), who also mixed and mastered the release, Immortal promises to deliver some of the most dynamic, instrumentally adept and plainly crushing material of the year.

REAPING ASMODEIA - Unrelenting. Uncompromising. Unstoppable. From the ashes of various now defunct Minnesota bands, comes a new blood to the Twin Cities metal arena: Reaping Asmodeia. In a genre that is defined by over-saturation and brainless musical structures, they vow to step up and set themselves aside from the trend of cookie cutter metal bands and typical over use of open chords. While most bands follow one route; either technically inclined music and a bland and lifeless live show or vice versa, these Minnesota winter-bred metallers inject into their performance exactly what they want their music to convey: intensity, anger, and pure emotion. Through both their music and live performance, this machine is here to prove a very blunt point...that you do not have to follow trends to turn heads.
