MIDNIGHT SOULS – Colder 7” Pre-orders!

“When all I have to live for is laid out before me. Life Love Regret, what was it all worthI give it to you for what it’s worth.”

Midnight Souls  took the stage for the first time in the winter of 2009 with no expectations and no idea how the scene would react. But after selling out their demo in a couple of months and numerous shows with international acts such as The Hope Conspiracy, Defeater, The Carrier, Dead Swans, This Is Hell and many more, it became clear that they tapped into something that was missing, something honest, something pure.  Every show has been an explosive exposition of this pure honesty, leaving an impact on every viewer as they walk off stage at the end.

Now with their first 7" release entitled “Colder”, on Reflections Records, Midnight Souls starts a new chapter in their story, reflecting on days gone by and days gone wrong. A heartfelt attempt to face up to mistakes of the past, in search of a brighter future.

Midnight Souls – Colder, with artwork from famous artist Linas Garsys (American Nightmare, AFI, Ceremony and many others) is up for pre-order now. The 7”is available in three different colors as well as a special package with t-shirt featuring the records’ artwork.

DEAL WITH IT! TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM ON REFLECTIONS RECORDS!
They came from the hills that day, riding atop the back of the mighty xOBOx, billowing smoke and fire. The Kyrck-Pascall riffs were drawn out and stupid, and the beat of the Elsom drum was fast. Beside them stood father christmas, pigeon chest at full capacity, bellowing a drunken roar at the peasants that still dared to stare. For four years the marauding horde of Deull Weeth Itt had been on the rampage. They began as a sober bunch, polite to a fault and clear headed in their final days of youth. Now they stood at the apex of greatness, sullied by beer guts and greasy hair. Nothing was behind them but burning bridges and pissed up dreams. Ahead was their one fiery endpoint – mighty Eyjafjallajökull – world killer. There either laid greatness or ridicule, and they were ready for either. (photo by Michael Mariovics / FaceTheShow.com)

Deal With It! – Eyjafjallajökull LP will be released this autumn on Reflections Records.
Stay on top of your cold mountain and wait for pre-order info soon!




RITUAL TO RELEASE NEW 7”ON REFLECTIONS RECORDS!
After relentless touring and playing numerous shows, Ritual found the time to record two brand new songs to be released on a limited 7” early this fall. The new songs show a band that is confident about their past yet willing to explore new paths and go even further on their journey to express their deepest emotions through music. The 7”will be limited to only 500 copies and comes packed in a big fold-out poster. The complete artwork will consist of six photographs.In its entirety it's gonna demonstrate the yin and yang-metaphor that lies within the songtitles "Greenest Meadows" vs. "Kissing Pavement" - natural vs. urban elements. Check out the bands myspace page www.myspace.com/ritualeurope for a new song, show dates and some great tour video footage as well.

HRVST: DEATH – BOOK. OUT NOW!
“Most of the stories in HRVST are heartfelt, well written and touch a nerve here or there. Personally I like the non-fictional stories better about how persons deal with death, their first experience with death or how they try to avoid it…..

HRVST is a book that inspires and makes you think. It's also a work of art with a great lay-out….

Since this is HRVST 1 I guess and hope more issues will follow around other topics and with other contributors. Just to inspire a new generation of hardcore kids and get the message across that it's still more than music….” (Rold/Asice.net)
The first publication of HRVST focuses on the topic of "Death“. It contains diverse contributions by the likes of CHUCK RAGAN (known from Hot Water Music), ROB MORAN (Unbroken, Narrows), WESLEY EISOLD American Nightmare / Give Up The Ghost), STEVE BRODSKY (Cave In), EUGENE S. ROBINSON (Oxbow), CHRIS COLOHAN (Cursed, Left For Dead), GEERT VAN DER VELDE (Shai Hulud) among many, many others. Read the first 10 pages online.
