The earnest progressive metal group Green Carnation unveil ‘Leaves of Yesteryear,’ the first new music from the band in 14 years. More approachable than the Norwegian's work in the metal bands In the Woods, Emperor, and Tristania; their unpretentious, punchy and smart sound appeals to broad swaths of the rock community. As the first part of the act's second trilogy, ‘Leaves of Yesteryear,’ serves as both a retrospective look at the band’s storied career while setting the foundation for their future.

Prepare for the eighth installment from The Flight of Sleipnir, masters of Viking/Norse mythology-infused tunes. Founded back in 2007, founders David Csicsely and Clayton Cushman have been on a relentless quest, blending heavy sounds with ancient sagas. Initially a dynamic duo, Csicsely and Cushman crafted five albums before expanding their lineup. In 2016, with the release of "Skadi" under Eisenwald Records, Dave Borrusch and Justin Siegler became integral members. However, after the acclaimed release of "Eventide" in 2021, the band bid farewell to Siegler, welcoming Jeremy Winters as the new guitar virtuoso.

"Nature's Cadence," slated for release in 2024 via Eisenwald, marks the powerful return of The Flight of Sleipnir. While not strictly a concept album, it weaves themes of resilience against the elements and reverence for nature's beauty. Recorded predominantly at their studio in Arvada, Colorado, with additional touches in Clay's home studio and World Famous Studios, the album's sonic landscape was carefully sculpted by the local Pete de Boer, renowned for his attention to detail and finesse.

Thematically rich deliving into the complexities of human experience. From the primal violence of old Norse sagas to the existential musings on control and the pursuit of discovery, each track resonates with a deep and multilayered meaning. Drawing inspiration from ancient texts and personal introspection, The Flight of Sleipnir crafted a timeless narrative throught out the new record.

"Nature's Cadence" masterfully intertwines ethereal tones, avant-garde flair, and thunderous riffs, showcasing The Flight of Sleipnir's evolution and dedication - Mastered on vintage analog equipment, imparting a nostalgic haze that envelops the music, serving as the final spark to unleash the magic.

Through a delicate fusion of melancholic melodies and haunting vocals, this release promises a transformative musical experience. Prepare to be transported on a nuanced journey through the ages, where every note whispers of depth and emotional resonance. As with every release from The Flight of Sleipnir, the powerful artwork was crafted by band founder David Csicsely himself, seamlessly uniting each work into a cohesive masterpiece. This artistic endeavor consistently highlights the depth and creative ambition of the band with each new offering.

Returning from time apart to a world forever changed, dread-fuelled duo A SWARM OF THE SUN bring with them their fourth studio album, ‘An Empire’; its brooding, yet beautiful, melancholic narrative arc allows the band to dig ever deeper into desolation whilst a newfound lyrical focus adds a tenderness that is both harrowing and heartwarming at once.

With the early bones of forthcoming ‘An Empire’ tabled by events beyond their control in 2019, Erik and Jakob came together years later and scrapped them in favour of creating something entirely new; something distinctly different to break the cycle, defy categorisation and reflect the uncomfortable uncertainties of the times we now live in. The result is astounding; continuing the thread of narrative composition seen on ‘The Woods’, ‘An Empire’ is a six-track tale told in four distinct movements that are nothing short of devastating, from plaintive piano ballads to raw, full-band fury.

‘Burning in Celestial Poison‘ is not only a statement and lesson in audio-violence, it is a 44 minutes long manifest of radical DEATH Metal causing mental lacerations and chaos! A record supposed to shock, because of its ecstatic ruthlessness and massive fanatical malevolence, hovering deep below the compositions. It opens the doors to a world that is so unbelievable vast, that you risk to lose yourself in it, its depths defy exegesis. 4 curses are woven into 4 hymns of utter death-magic, which will lead you into the black abyss of the grand divine. The album was again produced by master Arthur Rizk, who cuts through all expectations with extraordinarily dense and destructive fidelity and production. ‘Burning in Celestial Poison’ sounds like created with the magick, formulas, codes and keys of a world beyond.
