On Halloween this year Music For Nations released the latest album by Witch Fever called 'Fevereaten'. A record so dark, heavy and moving that it demands repeated listenings. On November 4th 2022 Blumhouse released the latest movie by Beth de Araújo called 'Soft and Quiet'. A film so dark, heavy and moving that it demands repeated viewings. This is what happens when those two forces of nature collide.Music For Nations Witch Fever
We talk to Seattles Sun Crow about Rain City Doom Fest December 12th and 13th at Elcorazon
We talk to Jess from the band Sorcia about this years Rain City Doom Fest at El Corazon December 12th And 13th.
Présentée par Jeff Dans ce nouveau numéro, nous rendons hommage à l'adage « l'union fait la force ». Nous parlons d'Unité dans ce onzième Repas de Corbeaux. Mais de quelle force s'agit-il vraiment ? Est-ce une force de résistance face à un oppresseur clairement identifié, ou une force destructrice tournée contre les hommes eux-mêmes ? Cherchons-nous à nous élever ensemble ou précipitons-nous notre propre chute ?Les artistes du metal sombre proposent des visions variées de cette dynamique humaine — parfois même animale — qui cherche à ne faire qu'Un. Nous explorons cette idée avec une Chaire Sémantique consacrée au « Comme Un ». Dans un second temps, nous présentons cinq nouveaux albums qui abordent, de manière directe ou indirecte, les concepts d'unité ou de communauté, chacun avec ses interrogations philosophiques et ses démarches artistiques singulières.-----Habillage sonore : Tmdjn / IKILLWHALESVisuel de l'émission : Camille MurgueLogo : Eric Melkiahn
In this episode we talk to Wyatt Olney of KISW's Loud And Local about his favorite heavy bands in the pacific northwest.
Présentée par Jeff - Partie MAUDITS à 00:34:28La formation de post-metal instrumental MAUDITS a délivré son nouvel album In Situ le 7 novembre, un disque aux ambiances très variées en faisant sans doute le plus varié à ce jour. Riche et surprenant, il est une parfaite démonstration que ce style musical niche comporte parfois des récits introspectifs, même sans parole... Le communiqué décrit : « Pour cette sortie, Maudits a volontairement adopté une approche spontanée en composant la majorité des titres sur un lapse de temps très court, poussant le concept à l'extrême… Maudits continue donc de tracer sa propre voie, dans un style cinématographique sensible et inclassable… » Nous en parlons avec Olivier Dubuc, guitariste et compositeur du projet. Pour l'occasion, Repas de Corbeaux revient sur l'esthétique globale du metal instrumental. Bien que dépourvu de texte, les formations de ces scènes développent souvent des concepts forts. Ces mélodies reposent ainsi sur des ambiances particulièrement immersives et des imageries cohérentes avec leurs thématiques. En guise de démonstration, nous présentons trois albums pour la première demi-heure avec les groupes CIVIL SERVICE, MONOGRAF et les Français d'ABSENCE OF COLORS.-----Habillage sonore : Tmdjn / IKILLWHALESVisuel de l'émission : Camille MurgueLogo : Eric Melkiahn
Présentée par Jeff - Partie MALEPESTE à 00:32:00Avec son troisième album, le groupe de black metal lyonnais MALEPESTE explore le thème de la Création au sens large. S'il est d'abord question de cosmologie en première lecture, la formation propose bien des questionnements qui dépassent ce simple registre, comme une quête de sens. Face au vide et au néant, ne reste-t-il que le vertige ? Ou alors faut-il chercher la flamme qui pousse à la création, quitte à s'y perdre soi-même ? Chaque titre de Ex Nihilo illustre une étape du cycle émotionnel de la création : l'élan, l'orgueil, la stupeur, le doute et la rechute. Nous en parlons dans notre entretien avec Nostra, Xahaal et Larsen, respectivement bassiste, guitariste et chanteur du combo.Au cours de la première demi-heure, plusieurs nouveaux disques du metal sombre flirteront avec notre thématique. Ainsi, nous parlerons de NYRAK, LAMP OF MURMUUR ou encore DYSYLUMN. Enfin, nous conclurons ce nouvel épisode avec une touche de création féminine avec les projets BIANCA et REMINA.-----Habillage sonore : Tmdjn / IKILLWHALESVisuel de l'émission : Camille Murgue

While the idea of conceptual records and music is nothing new, more often than not, these concepts are drawn from ideas, visions, or the minds of people who are passionate about the very thing they are writing about. While these musical storylines are more often than not an entertaining escape from the mundane existence of everyday life, they are merely a figment of another person's imagination and can be construed as such.But when it comes to conceptual stories surrounding war and the atrocities associated with it, there are few bands who manage the task well. Subjects that have basis in reality and the suffering of others must have an authentic flavour to them in order to be respectful to those who have lived it and their families, with bands like Sabaton standing out for their continued excellence in this field.But there is also another band who delves into the horrors of war with unnerving detail, except this time the band in question themselves live and/or were raised in a war zone. A real-life battle zone where life and death are a daily balancing act. As such, their music is not only based on fact, it is written in conflict.That band is 1914, formed in Lviv, Ukraine, in 2014. From the outset, 1914 have written and sung about war - primarily WW1 - but the daily threat of war that lives on their doorstep enables the band to write with an eerie authenticity unlike most others. 1914's upcoming fourth album, Viribus Unitis, adheres to the same conceptual storyline as each of the other albums, except this time the story arc follows the personal accounts of a Ukrainian soldier in the K.u.K. army, following real events and tracing a timeline from 1914 to 1919. The album paints a grim journey through the war's rise, climax, and hollow aftermath, combining a brutal mixture of blackened death metal, slow-burning doom, and ambient war soundscapes.HEAVY spoke with vocalist 2nd Division, 147th Infantry Regiment, Senior Lieutenant Dietmar Kumarberg (Dmytro Ternushchak) to find out more."I don't know how I must feel about it," he laughed, speaking with a thick Ukrainian accent. "At least I'm still alive - because I'm from Ukraine - so it's not bad at all in our circumstances. At least we did this, and we finished this album, and we will release it on Napalm Records. I feel some… let's call it happiness (laughs), because I'm allowed to do this, and it's not bad at all."We ask him to dive into the album deeper musically."With this album - like all of ours - we started based on real historical events, with a lot of research," he replied. "It's a big concept. But with this album, we started in a completely different way. We based the whole album on the life of one soldier. This is a soldier from the Western part of Ukraine - my home town. This is the view from one soldier when he faced war at the very beginning of the First World War, and the Russians invaded my hometown, and his regiment must retreat, and he faces the huge battles."In the full interview, Dietmar tells us more about the conceptual journey of the soldier, including his lonely end. He tells us the story behind the title - which is Latin for With United Forces and how it ties in with Viribus Unitus, including personal tales of battle he has endured living in Ukraine.Dietmar goes further into the concept and explains how 1914 manage to create a sonic landscape and atmospherics that take the listener inside the war zone and the importance of research and factual information in their music. He talks of the personal toll writing about such horrific encounters leaves on him after an album cycle and runs us through what it is like living as a musician in Ukraine throughout the war and devastation, plus much more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

This week on Toilet Radio: We're taking our sweet ass time to discuss one of the slower elements in the heavy metal periodic table. This week is all about DOOM METAL. What is Doom? When did it differentiate itself from the first wave of heavy metal? What makes it a distinct entity from the many subgenres that emerged concurrently? Who are the power players throughout the decades? We're talking about an obscure NWOBHM band that unintentionally helped create the genre, Candlemass picking up the baton and making their stamp on the genre, and a variety of killer bands that have refined and reinvigorated the genre since. Folks, it's a good one.
