OCEANO RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK 'DAWN OF DESCENT'

Chicago deathcore heavyweights OCEANO have released a lyric video for a brand new track taken from their eagerly-anticipated new studio album, ASCENDANTS.

OCEANO's fourth full-length release sees the band's trademark vicious hybrid of bone-splintering brutality ascend into a new realm and reach previously undiscovered depths.  Their signature sound is revitalised through guitarists Scott Smith and Michael Kasper (CARNIVALE, DEAD TO FALL) and bassist Chris Wagner (MONSTERS).  Vocalist Adam Warren's visceral screams and guttural onslaught are further refined and expanded with near inhuman tone.

Watch the stunning 3D-animated lyric video for "Dawn of Descent" now at http://youtu.be/1QQcXYSh3_8

ASCENDANTS is due to be released on March 23rd in Europe and March 24th in the USA.  The album was recorded at The Nook studio in New Lenox, Illinois with producer Nick Nativo (MONSTERS).

BOLT THROWER 'THE EARACHE PEEL SESSIONS' LIMITED EDITION VINYL OUT NOW

A brand new, vinyl-only edition of the classic BOLT THROWER 'Peel Sessions' recorded for legendary Radio One DJ John Peel is out now.

Recorded between 1988 and 1990, the vinyl features 12 tracks which chart the development of the band from early punk-influenced recordings through to the more death metal approach of the final session, including raw versions of classics such as "War Master" and "Drowned in Torment".

From the very earliest days of Earache Records, BBC National Radio's John Peel was a huge supporter of the Earache label and its extreme grindcore bands.  Peel first offered BOLT THROWER a session in 1988, and invited them back at the end of 1988 and again in 1990 to the hallowed Maida Vale studios to lay down some classic recordings.

BOLT THROWER - THE EARACHE PEEL SESSIONS is available now on vinyl LP in black as well as the following limited edition colours:

100 - Forgotten Existence (SOLD OUT)
200 - Eternal War (red with white & black splatter)
