01. Tectonic Chant

Yes, you've read well!! British Crust/Punk fueled Thrash Metal legends CEREBRAL FIX have inked a deal with Xtreem Music for the release of their long awaited new album!!
Existing since 1986 and having released 4 albums between 1988-1992, CEREBRAL FIX reformed back in 2006 with both original guitarists Gregg Fellows and Anthony Warburton together with former vocalist Simon Forrest, the band got Andy Baker (ex-SACRILEGE) on drums and Steve Watson (RAVENS CREED) on bass to complete the line-up. The band was especially active during 2014 when they got to play a few shows until in October, due to personal reasons, vocalist Simon Forrest had to leave the band, being immediately replaced by Al Osta, who already proved to be a good frontman in RAVENS CREED. With this line-up, CEREBRAL FIX opened for MORBID ANGEL last 10th of December in Birmingham, getting a very good acceptance.
CEREBRAL FIX is now working on last details for their comeback album which is planned to be recorded during the first months of 2015 and according to Andy Baker's words "it's going to be a cross between the 1st album and upbeat DISCHARGE". So this is a clear statement that the band is back where they left on their acclaimed debut album from 1988 "Life Sucks… and Then You Die!".
CEREBRAL FIX is having a new split 7"EP with SELFLESS through Fear Me! Music during December and we'll keep you informed as news flows from the band regarding the recording of the new album.

Spanish new Thrash Metal sensation HOLYCIDE, leaded by Dave Rotten from AVULSED are currently in studio finishing the mixes of their upcoming debut EP at Overhead Studios with Raúl Fournier "Furni" (ex-AVULSED drummer) as producer.
HOLYCIDE's inception happened back in 2004 and went through various line-up tryouts and a couple of songs were recorded, but nothing serious until in spring 2012 Miguel Bárez (guitar) and in summer 2013 Dani Fernández (bass), joined the band and thus recorded a 2-song demo by the end of 2013. After this, in spring 2014, two more members completed the band: Salva Esteban (guitar) & Jorge Utrera (drums). With this line-up, the band started to record 5 songs and a cover version of DARK ANGEL in summer of the same year.
The aim of HOLYCIDE is to create some intense and aggressive yet varied and catchy Thrash Metal, focusing in 80's style of bands like DARK ANGEL, INFERNAL MAJESTY, ATROPHY, CORONER, SACRIFICE, SEPULTURA (beneath)…
The EP will be entitled "Toxic Mutation" and the cover artwork has been created by famous artist Mark Riddick. This recording will show a huge improvement from their debut demo and as soon as it's finished, we'll show you an exclusive advance track as well as the cover artwork, full tracklist and definitive release date that might be around January/ February 2015 through Xtreem Music. After this, HOLYCIDE will start offering their very first live shows around their local clubs in Madrid.

Xtreem Music is more proud than ever before, by announcing a release that's one of our absolute top Thrash Metal albums EVER!! A fucking classic!! This is the debut album from Los Angeles' DÉTENTE "Recognize No Authority".
Formed back in 1984, this re-issue celebrates the 30th anniversary of the band and includes absolutely all demos from DÉTENTE plus two unreleased songs taken from live & rehearsal recordings, and the two CATALEPSY demos, a side band from some members, which sounded basically the same as DÉTENTE. This release has been approved and directed by former bass player Steve Hochheiser and means the one and only band's demo & discography from the 80's, contradicting some websites like Metal-Archives.com whose information is wrong.
"Recognize No Authority" was originally released in 1986 through Roadrunner Records in the US and Metal Blade in Europe. Leaded by female vocalist Dawn Crosby (rip), the band quickly gained a status within the Thrash Metal scene with their unique style aside from the typical bands from these times. However, this success wasn't well managed by the band members back then and this leaded to creating a side-band (CATALEPSY) and even disbanding after a 4th demo in '89. Dawn Crosby later formed FEAR OF GOD with whom she recorded two albums before dying in '96.
This release will come in form of a 2-CD containing two bonus on CD1 with re-recorded versions of two album tracks (one being the instrumental track "Catalepsy" but here with original lyrics), made in 2010 and sung by current vocalist Tiina Teal. On CD2 there's 19 songs from the 4 band's demos recorded in '84, '87 & '89 plus two unreleased songs recorded live & rehearsal in '85 and the 2 only demos by CATALEPSY from '87 & '88. All songs comes with remastered sound and packed with a complete presentation full of band photos, flyers, lyrics and extensive liner notes from Steve Hochheiser. There will be also a limited run of T-Shirts that will be available only through the Xtreem Music webstore.
Spanish satanic bourbon-fueled Punk/Black/Thrash/Death maniacs CENDRA have just inked a deal with Xtreem Music for the release of the band's second album that will be entitled "666 Bastards".
CENDRA have just finished the recordings at the renowned Moontower Studios where they have vomited 12 songs of nasty Punk/Metal depravation. Their style, as described above, blends elements of Black, Thrash and Death with a strong Punk feeling to it. Anyone into bands like SODOM "In the Sign of Evil", TOXIC HOLOCAUST, very early ONSLAUGHT, DISCHARGE, MIDNIGHT, early SARCOFAGO, will find in CENDRA a new soundtrack for their neverending alcoholic nights!!
The band is currently working on the artwork for the album and as soon as it's done, and a release date has been scheduled for "666 Bastards", we'll announce it, but you can expect it around the first months of 2015. In the meantime, check out the CENDRA's website at www.facebook.com/cendra666 and here you can also listen to an exclusive advance track:

AMPUTORY
21.10.2014
Finnish Deathmetallers AMPUTORY are almost finished with their debut album. Signed to Xtreem Music back in 2012, the band already released two demos, one in 2010 and a 2nd one entitled "Unclean" in 2012, both with 3 songs each and displaying a truly heavy Death Metal in the good old finnish tradition of bands like FUNEBRE, ADRAMELECH, DEMIGOD, DEPRAVITY and the likes.
This debut album will include both songs from their demos and new ones and is expected to be mastered in the coming months at well known Finnvox Studios for a release sometime in early 2015. As soon as we have an album title as well as tracklist, cover artwork and an advance song, we'll announce it along with a release date for the album.
Slovenian thrashers PANIKK have inked a deal with Xtreem Music that will begin with the immediate re-issue of last year band's debut album "Unbearable Conditions" that was released through a very small local label that only pressed 250 copies of this album, thus it got certainly unnoticed within the Thrash Metal scene. But this is going to change now!!
PANIKK represents, alongside with label mates ERUPTION, one of Slovenia's top Thrash Metal bands and their aggressive yet technical style is sure to catch the attention of any lover of good old school Thrash Metal in the vein of bands like DEMOLITION HAMMER, EXODUS, VIO-LENCE… "Unbearable Condition" gets a new chance with this re-issue and will put the band in the map while they're working on their 2nd album which is planned to be recorded in summer 2015.
The always active mind of Dave Rotten (AVULSED's vocalist) has given birth to another project. This time it's an ultra dense, heavy and rotting Doom/ Death band called FAMISHGOD, created together with Funedëim (SVIPDAGR/ MORKULV) mastermind on this project, who plays guitar & bass here. FAMISHGOD is fruit of almost two years of writing and recording what's going to be their first full length album. This band has been kept secret until now, after such album has been finished and when the band is able to offer some proper-sounding stuff.
"Devourers of Light" is the title of this debut album by FAMISHGOD, a conceptual opus divided in 7 chapters with a length of almost one hour, where lyrics form a whole story separated in 7 acts. Cover artwork and 13 more pieces of art, have been created by finnish Tommi Grönqvist from DESECRESY, who's responsible of all artworks on his own band and he's created, as always, a perfect design with his eerie and personal style.
Production, mixing and mastering of the album has been made by Dave Rotten at his very own Sanctuary Studios, expressing a dark, heavy and deep sound that fits perfectly in the obscure Doom/ Death of FAMISHGOD whose influences are deeply rooted in bands like DISEMBOWELMENT, EVOKEN, MOONDARK, RIPPIKOULU, DESECRESY, OPHIS, MYTHIC, WINTER, HOODED MENACE and the likes.
Although FAMISHGOD started as a studio project, there are plans to bring the band live with a full line-up completed by session members that will help to recreate FAMISHGOD's heaviness on stage, so stay tuned for this!!
Tracklist for "Devourers of Light" is as follows:
1. Chapter 1: Devourer of Light
2. Chapter 2: Famish
3. Chapter 3: Black Eye
4. Chapter 4: Premature Grave
5. Chapter 5: The Monarch
6. Chapter 6: Two Last Stairs
7. Chapter 7: Brightless
Release date for "Devourers of Light" has been set for December 1st through Xtreem Music, and you can help FAMISHGOD by visiting their brand new Facebook site at www.famishgod.com and giving it a "like" to spread the band's name during their first steps. Here you can listen to an exclusive advance song:
