A LIFE ONCE LOST recently completed the recording sessions of their upcoming album, so it’s time to unveil its title and release date! The American band’s sixth opus is entitled “Ecstatic Trance” and will be out on October 23rd in North America and on November 16th in the rest of the world.
Season of Mist just signed US Mathcore act THE CHARIOT in Europe! THE CHARIOT are true artists whose determined passions lead them down winding pathways as they buck trends and avoid formulas. The noisy, rambling, shambling, Southern-fried, punk-infused, heavy hardcore band has long rejected the conventions of the genre that surrounds them by refusing to conform to established structures. THE CHARIOT’s sound and presentation owe more to AT THE DRIVE IN, REFUSED, NIRVANA or even THE SEX PISTOLS in spirit and vibe than the formulaic processed sounds of their contemporaries.
As announced last month, RAGE NUCLÉAIRE’s debut album is entitled “Unrelenting Fucking Hatred”. This raw manifesto of Black Metal has been scheduled for an October 19th release (November 6th in North America). The cover artwork and tracklisting will be unveiled later in the summer.
“Ruins of Gomorrah”, UNDERCROFT’s new album, is the next release from Season of Mist’s Underground Activists division and will hit the stores on September 21st (October 9th in North America). Here are the cover artwork and tracklisting of the Chileans thrashers’ sixth opus:

French black metallers HELL MILITIA, one of the Underground Activists division’s latest additions, have named their forthcoming album “Jacob’s Ladder”. The band’s third full-length will hit the stores on October 19th (November 6th in North America).

The Americans broke onto the scene a few years ago and have quickly earned the title as one of the most musically inclined bands in the progressive metal genre.
