NIGHTBRINGER "Emanation" CD out / LP coming soon and tour.

NIGHTBRINGER's "Emanation", which gathers 4 otherwise unreleased tracks and 2 exclusive versions of tracks from "Death & the Black Work" (originally released as a split with SERPENTINAM), is now available once again.

The original CD version by Starlight Temple Society is long since sold out and thus it was decided to give it another incarnation, with a new layout. The CD version is available from the band during their European tour (along with other merch).

The LP version is expected to arrive during April. "Emanation" serves for those who would bear witness to the initial incarnation of NIGHTBRINGER and the metamorphosis that would follow!

Let it be known that from this day forth, The entity known as FUNERAL GOAT will no longer exist.
It has changed form and from this moment shall be named IBEX ANGEL ORDER or IAO.

We have decided that because the music and lyrics that have arisen in the last writing sessions differ so much from what FUNERAL GOAT once was intended for, this change was a necessity.

F.G. was started as a tribute to our old favourites VON and BEHERIT. We limited our song writing to fit those bands approach and the lyrics were kept primitive with the same intent. We wrote an entire album following this rigid structure. We are still proud of it for what it is, a monument to ancient black death metal.

However, we feel that limiting our art is not right. All tracks we have written since our "Mass Ov Perversion" album have been completely free of any limitations or pre conceived ideas. These songs just came into existence and wrote themselves. These tracks needed lyrics that were far more personal to us and that showed more depth and thought. Our lyrics now deal with gnostic writings and other occult script_ures.

BRUTAL ASSAULT announces MANES, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, GRAND EXIT

Brutal Assault announces three newly confirmed bands headed by legendary avantgarde black metal act MANES! Here is the message from the band: „Once again, after 8 years or so, we'll climb onstage and do our thing. Not once, but twice, at Brutal Assault 2014. We'll be doing a more stripped-down semi-accoustic thing on Friday, and crank it all the way to three, maybe max five, at the grand mainstage on Saturday... We've never played outside Norway before, and who knows; maybe we'll never play outside Norway again after this, so this'll most certainly be something special for both you and us!“

Another confirmed bands are LA-based experimental metallers IWRESTLEDABEARONCE and Swedish thrash/death metallers GRAND EXIT.

Swedish melodic metal maestros SOILWORK with great new album „The Living Infinite“ are heading to Brutal Assault 2014! Another confirmed bands for today are Japanese CHURCH OF MISERY (doom/psychedelic metal) and Norwegian OKKULTOKRATI (black/sludge/HC/metal).
