Isole - Beyond The Horizon

Sweden's classic Doom Metal outfit ISOLE are back with a new album "Dystopia" and have released a video for the new single "Beyond The Horizon".

ISOLE formed under the name FORLORN back in 1990 with two sole members: Crister and Daniel. And after "I Hate Records" approached them in 2003 the band saw it fit to adopt a new moniker, thus becoming ISOLE. The debut album, "Forevermore", was released in early 2005 and followed up with a 7″, "The Beyond", in early 2006. Followed by "Throne Of Void" (2006), "Bliss Of Solitude (2008), "Silent Ruins" (2009), "Born From Shadows" (2011) and "The Calm Hunter" (2014).

Things have been a bit quiet around ISOLE for some time, but time has now come for the next chapter in the ISOLE saga, they have dwelled in the shadows long enough and will spread their wings of melancholy again now allied with Hammerheart Records. The new and 7th opus "Dystopia" with stories of this deteriorating world weaved in melancholic melodies will be out 2019. Once again recorded at Studio Apocalypse and Gustavo Sazes (ARCH ENEMY, FIREWIND) provided his artistic know-how to convey a feeling of mysticism and darkness through his symbolic artwork, while Mika Jussila Finnvox Studios took on the mastering responsibilities.

With their first releases, ISOLE were able to secure an excellent reputation within the doom metal underground. Then with "Bliss Of Solitude" and "Silent Ruins" they elevated their status even further. Now with their anticipated return with "Dystopia" ISOLE will secure their well-earned position in the doom metal scene.

Megadeth - Dystopia

Dystopia is the fifteenth studio album by American thrash metal band MEGADETH, released on January 22, 2016. The album, produced by Dave Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw, is the first by the band since 2004's The System Has Failed not to feature longtime drummer Shawn Drover and also the first not to feature guitarist Chris Broderick since 2007's United Abominations. These roles have been filled by LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler and ANGRA guitarist Kiko Loureiro, respectively.

Mustaine elaborated on possible lyrical themes, revealing that he had been reading about world history and "crazy science stuff". Both Mustaine and Ellefson had indicated that the album would feature a different musical and stylistic approach from the previous album, including a move away from a radio-oriented sound. Mustaine also stated his belief that the album sound and songwriting would be influenced by his 2014 guest performance alongside the San Diego Symphony.

In July 2014, Mustaine announced that he was editing a demo for a new track titled "Why We Lie to You". He has described the track as "kind of like if Jack Bauer was in a band, what he would sing about," and compared the song's structure with that of "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due". In May 2015, the band posted several videos clips on PledgeMusic featuring snippets of new songs, titled "The Emperor" and "Conquer... or Die". MEGADETH recorded fifteen tracks, two of which are covers: "Melt the Ice Away" by Budgie and "Foreign Policy" by Fear. "Poisonous Shadows" was stated by Mustaine to feature piano parts performed by Loureiro, as well as orchestral arrangement by Ronn Huff, father of record producer Dann Huff who worked with the band in the late 1990s. It was also announced that the album would feature a guest appearance from country musician Steve Wariner, who would perform steel guitar parts. However, neither Huff, nor Wariner were credited in the album's liner notes.

I saw a performance with MEGADETH at FortaRock just outside Amsterdam in Netherlands 2 weeks ago and it was exactly as I predicted, good show. Seen them before and they are very good live. Here is two pictures that I snapped this sunny day :)

Today's tune is the title track taken of the latest release "Dystopia"
