Legendary Czech Death Metallers MASTER have completed work on the new album and announced the eleventh album title as "The New Elite".

Once again returning to Shaark Studios for the recording, mixing and mastering process of "The New Elite", the new album showcases 11 tracks of unambiguous Death Metal in its wretched form, in perfect coalition with the offensive Speckmann-spewed lyrical shitstorm.

Anathema Reveal Cover Art And Tracklisting. New Album Out April 24th On The End Records.

Anathema will return in April with "Weather Systems", their brand new studio album.

"Weather Systems" is the follow-up to 2010’s "We're Here Because We're Here", which has been featured prominently in numerous end-of-year polls and the producer, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has described it as ''definitely among the best albums I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on.''

The bar for "Weather Systems" has been set pretty high, but Daniel Cavanagh from the band is certain that the album will exceed these lofty expectations, stating, "it feels like we are at a creative peak right now, and this album reflects that. Everything from the production to the writing to the performances are a step up from our last album."

He continues, "This is not background music for parties. The music is written to deeply move the listener, to uplift or take the listener to the coldest depths of the soul."

Brand new album from Belgium’s ENTHRONED, "Obsidium", is coming out on 20.03.2012 in Europe and on 10.04.2012 in the North America.

Obsidium is an incantation of new wisdom strengthened  by 19 years of controlled fury. In terms of improvement, the band has decided not to manifold their recent effort (Pentagrammaton, out in 2010), but to explore the unique Black Metal gemstone further down the line, polishing it to its grim, deep and fierce colorus.

Seeking new grounds and  holding to their twisted vision, ENTHRONED managed to combine an impressive legacy with insane vocals, speed granted energy, melody and dark yet swift background. “Obsidium" may turn out to be highly explosive for those blissfully unaware!
