The first single and video from “Dreamcrash” will be out on July 31st. Until then, enjoy this very first taste of the new album, a song we call “Crying Wolves”. Today exclusively premiered in Germany over at Visions Magazine.

Grave Pleasures VideoThose of you who have seen us live this summer already know this one – it’s one of our favourites in all its desperate glory. We hope the song – and the visuals – will take you to a place that is out of your control. Thank you for listening.

Self-styled apocalyptic post punks, GRAVE PLEASURES, were formed from the remains of the break up of BEASTMILK, who were one of the most talked-about bands in recent times. Their “painful war-cry of the eternally doomed,” as one journalist described it, resonated with fans of all music genres. BEASTMILK’s 2013 debut album “Climax” received rave reviews across the board. Metalheads, indie kids and gothic punks were all dancing to the funeral drum as the Finnish band spearheaded a new wave of rock music.

2015 marked the end of an era – and the beginning of a new – as the remaining members of the band BEASTMILK split with guitarist Johan “Goatspeed” Snell early in the year. The remainder of the group took on the name GRAVE PLEASURES, and embarked on a musical journey sure to surpass any previous efforts.

“I am an alien on my own planet looking at things from the outside in with no escape and no way out it’s hard to find a sense of what is really real”

GRAVE PLEASURES – Announce Debut Record “Dreamcrash”

Finnish death rockers GRAVE PLEASURES will release their new, highly anticipated album “Dreamcrash” on September 4, 2015 through Sony Music’s Columbia label. See beauty in the nightmare as the cover artwork is revealed for the first time.

GRAVE PLEASURES from Finland have set September 4, 2015 as collision date for their new album “Dreamcrash”, which will be released by Sony Music Columbia. Formed out of the debris of the band BEASTMILK – the band that had indie kids, goths, punks and the music press dancing to their highly praised debut album “Climax” in 2013 – Grave Pleasures are taking the concept of the apocalypse one step further. This time it’s personal.

GRAVE PLEASURES consists of singer/songwriter Mat McNerney (also of HEXVESSEL), bassist Valtteri Arino, guitarist/songwriter Linnéa Olsson (THE OATH, SONIC RITUAL), drummer Uno Bruniusson (IN SOLITUDE, PROCESSION) – as well as live and studio session guitarist Juho Vanhanen (ORANSSI PAZUZU).

In May of this year, this impressive line-up entered the studio together with award-winning producer Tom Dalgety (KILLING JOKE, ROYAL BLOOD).

The result is a complex and feverish set of modern rock songs. Urban tribal rhythms; potent melancholia; raw pop sensibility; irreverent ferociousness – “Dreamcrash” is seductive in its surrealism one minute, and a cold shower of harsh reality the next.

“I am concerned with a total collapse of our dreams”, says Mat McNerney. “Hacking out this feverish, frantic and very uninhibited music, it exposes and lays raw some intense emotions. As we get deeper and closer to capturing the spirit of what we set out for this band to be, we are touching some vital nerves. It’s getting under the skin, under the flesh.”

Additionally the band has just put up a video studio diary, shot in May 2015.

GRAVE PLEASURES – Announces New Drummer Uno Bruniusson & Inks Deal With Sony

GRAVE PLEASURES (ex-BEASTMILK) announces new drummer Uno Bruniusson (IN SOLITUDE) and inks a deal with Sony!

Uno Bruniusson of Swedish metal pioneers IN SOLITUDE joins GRAVE PLEASURES, the band formerly known as BEASTMILK. The band have signed a record deal with Sony. They head into the studio this may with award-winning producer Tom Dalgety (ROYAL BLOOD, KILLING JOKE) and will release their new album in September 2015.

Grave PleasuresGRAVE PLEASURES now complete their impressive and illustrious lineup with new drummer Uno Bruniusson (co-founding member of now laid to rest Swedish band IN SOLITUDE, drummer for PROCESSION) who has joined their ranks in April 2015. Bruniusson’s vast experience, accomplished drumming flair and eclectic range of styles consummates the GRAVE PLEASURES lineup into a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Bruniusson marries his metal to singer/songwriter and founding member Mat “Kvohst” McNerney (also of HEXVESSEL), original Beastmilk bassist Valtteri Arino, guitarist/song-writer Linnéa Olsson (founding member and song-writer of THE OATH and SONIC RITUAL) who had joined BEASTMILK earlier in 2014, and new live/studio guitarist Juho Vanhanen of well-known Finnish blackmetal titans ORANSSI PAZUZU.

As self-styled apocalyptic post-punks, BEASTMILK were one of the most talked-about bands in recent times. Their “painful war-cry of the eternally doomed,” as one journalist described it, resonated with fans of all genres. They were instantly picked up on by Pitchfork, NME and The Guardian with raving reviews, and took the music scene by storm.

In early 2015 they announced that co-founding guitarist Johan Snell had departed their ranks, and the band will continue under the new moniker of GRAVE PLEASURES. But the rumbling grassroots momentum which built up behind them, has now transformed into something much, much bigger as GRAVE PLEASURES announces that they have inked a deal with Sony. Heading into the studio with Tom Dalgety, frontman Mat McNerney proclaims that we can “expect a recording of raw, wild, intense and desperate punk that could ignite any dank bunker or collapse a stadium.”

McNerney expands on their vision by describing the debut album “Climax” as a “brief introduction.” He claims that “The new songs are so raw and so vital, that they delve much deeper. We’re not stopping at a prologue, we’re heading straight for the zenith of our sonic love affair with the apocalypse.”  The future of this band is surely going to be as unprecedented and extraordinary as its inception.The end has only just begun.

ELECTRIC WIZARD – Listen Kids, It’s Time To Fuckin’ Die!

Quite some months have passed since the announcement of a new sonic offering from one of the most hailed and yet quarrelsome bands around: Over two decades into their outstanding carrier, Dorset Doomsters ELECTRIC WIZARD have recently stepped away from their long-term label and partner, London-based Rise Above Records – founded and run by former CATHEDRAL mastermind Lee Dorrian, just in case someone didn’t know that – to release their latest attempt, entitled “Time To Die…” through Satyr IX Productions / Witchfinder Records on September 29, 2014. To dive into the depths of the bands’ upcoming Riff-o-Rama, Occult Rock Magazine had a little chat with the Wizard – centered around guitarist & vocalist Jus Oborn and his spouse, axegrinder Liz Buckingham.

Electric Wizard 2014“There is a constant ELECTRIC WIZARD line-up. Me and Liz.” Jus Oborn

Picture by Steve Gullick

When did you begin recording ‘Time to Die’ and when was it completed?

We started it in the summer of 2013 and finished it around April 2014. It took a while, but mainly because it wasn’t recorded in one go and there was a bit of a problem getting back into the studio in the middle, if that makes sense…

Not to get into details, as there has been enough talk and what not online and printed these days, is the fact that you’re releasing the new record under different terms a whole new chapter for the band or just a tiny part of the puzzle?

It can be viewed both ways. I hope it’s a new chapter for the band, but in terms of the bigger picture, it’s probably just another step on our hideous journey into hell…

It’s not a secret that the band is basically the creative outlet of Jus and Liz – the question on everyone’s lips might be: Will there ever be a constant ELECTRIC WIZARD lineup again?

There is a constant ELECTRIC WIZARD line-up. Me and Liz.

Talking about the album or rather its concept, if there is any to speak of, I noted the rather (colour) reduced cover art work: How important is the visual concept of the ongoing promotion or overall work with the band?

I always think we’ve been a very visual band, and of course the artwork is very important to the album / LP format. I mean, we’re not a singles band, we don’t release 3 minute songs, we release long, epic tunes that cover one whole side of an LP. So we always conceive the artwork to go with that concept, and we’ve almost always done it ourselves. I think it’s become almost half of what ELECTRIC WIZARD is… the visual element and the ideology and everything else that goes with the band, that’s part of the attraction, really. Something deeper than just music…

Has censorship ever been an issue for you (For example the EW/REVEREND BIZARRE Split 12” cover artwork…)?

That was censored by our label back then – I think they were worried about it getting into the shops. But, no, we haven’t had as much trouble as you might imagine really, although of course we’ve had the odd Puritan soul who complains about us. Actually, one gig we played was pulled mid-song because the town council didn’t like the video we were showing – that’s happened once or twice, more than with most bands, I guess. We’ve shown some pretty hard-core porn on stage and people being burnt alive, all sorts of horrible shit, you know, just to destroy peoples’ psyches, really. I think if you come to see ELECTRIC WIZARD you already know what you’re in for…

Electric Wizard Sadio WitchThe most current step on the Wizard’s march of global conquest is the video for the second single “Sadio Witch“, which holds a certain resemblance towards the timeless “Black Mass” – would you like to tell us something about this certain song, why it has been chosen and how you got engaged with underground film maker Shazzula Vultura?

Obviously, we’d been meaning to put out a promo video for a long time, it just wasn’t possible with our previous label. So when the opportunity came to do it, we approached Shazzula because we liked a film she’d made a year or so ago, ‘Black Mass Rising’. She’s very influenced by Kenneth Anger and Jess Franco as well, so we very much met on the same page artistically, and it was just a case of us allowing someone else to do something for us and work with us instead of us doing everything ourselves.

The song was chosen because it was written as a single – it’s bloody 4 minutes long! But I don’t think there’s any shame in that. I am really surprised by the rules that some people put on music. A single is supposed to represent your band in usually 3 minutes, so I think we actually went too far in making it 4 minutes, haha. I think the song is perfect as a 7”, which of course it now is.

You’ve just played Desert Fest Antwerp. What are the international touring plans for ‘Time to Die’ ?

Well, the album is meant to be played live. I think that’s pretty obvious from the way it sounds, which is raw and brutal. To be honest, we are probably going to end up touring the fucking world by the end of this album’s life… I’d like to get to South America eventually, and the US tour is coming into play around April 2015, and then we’ll be back to playing in Europe, so hopefully a world tour by the end of the cycle…

Doom Metal went through several stages of development and might now be enjoying its highest point of popularity. Do you consider this to be connected to the cultural/social/political climate of the post-millennium? Is it maybe even a kind of musical/artistic counter concept to neoliberalism?

Well, I think it’s doomy times now. The world sort of feels like it’s entering the doom, and doom metal is the music for it. I think BLACK SABBATH had that period of popularity when people felt a lot of doom and gloom at the beginning of the ’70s, with the Vietnam war and the fuel crisis coming in, and there wasn’t a lot of money around in that period, it was kind of brutal. So when times are hard, people do listen to heavier styles of music… So I think the time is perfect for Electric Wizard. We are a pop band, as far as I’m concerned… we just don’t sell enough records, haha!

Liz & JusFinal question: Is it really “time to die” yet?

Yes, I fucking hope so.

After recently signing a deal with Spinefarm Records, Dorset UK-based Doom legend ELECTRIC WIZARD are once again without a drummer. As reported on Italian Webzine Doommabbestia and stated by on-again-off-again sticksman Mark Greening’s private Facebook page, he is “very gutted and sad but unfortunately I will never get to play live the New electric wizard tracks I recorded/written as Liz has sacked me from the band,gutted but electric wizard are no longer the band I once formed with Justin and Tim many moons ago more of a who can dress the most 1970s club,all I can say is at least the New album will be better than the last three.make love not war.”

Electric Wizard

The mindchild of founding member, guitarist & vocalist Justin Oborn and his spouse (former 13 and SOURVEIN member) axegrinder Liz Buckingham is not only set to work on and release a new album this very year – as reported earlier on Psychorizon – but also scheduled to play several Festivals, among those renowned events like Hellfest in Clisson, France, Sonisphere at Knebworth, UK and Desertfest Belgium in Antwerp.

At the current time the latest lineup change has been neither announced nor commented by the band through any of the available media platforms – keep checking Psychorizon’s Facebook page for further updates on this!

Azkena Rock Festival, Bill Ward, Black Sabbath, Download Festival, Geezer Butler, Gods of Metal, Grammy Winner, Graspop Metal Meeting, Hellfest, Ozzy Osbourne, Reunion, Rick Rubin, Tony Iommy, Tourdates, Vertigo Records, War Pigs, World Tour 2012

Just one week after their 11-11-11-Announcement, BLACK SABBATH have just revealed dates for the upcoming 2012 World Tour!

The following press release is available via the bands homepage:

REUNITED BLACK SABBATH TO DESCEND UPON PREMIER EUROPEAN FESTIVALS IN 2012

TOUR COMMENCES MAY 18, 2012 IN MOSCOW

November 18, 2011 — Rock legends BLACK SABBATH will headline a number of Europe’s premier festivals in 2012. After announcing their reunion on 11.11.11, these worldwide appearances are one of the most anticipated music events of 2012. Kicking off on Friday May 18th in Moscow at Olimpski, the tour will bring BLACK SABBATH to the masses at:Download Festival [UK], Azkena Rock Festival [Spain], Hellfest [France], Graspop Metal Meeting [Belgium], and Gods of Metal [Italy].

However, that’s only the beginning of the group’s global tour which will take the band around the world including countries the band has never played before and others they have not visited in more than three decades.

The four original members of BLACK SABBATH—OZZY OSBOURNE (vocals), TONY IOMMI (guitar), GEEZER BUTLER (bass) and BILL WARD (drums)—are currently recording their first studio album in 33 years with legendary producer RICK RUBIN (seven-time Grammy winner, two of those as Producer of the Year) for release worldwide on Vertigo Records, and Vertigo/Universal Republic Records in the US in the fall 2012.

Revered music and spoken word artist, Henry Rollins, has said that “BLACK SABBATH’s music is ultimate bone-powderizing gear. Any band worth their weight in napalm wishes they had written „War Pigs.‟ The critics never got it, but the fans did and still do, and the music has not lost any thunder with time but in fact resonates more loudly…Hail the mighty Black Sabbath now and forever.” Music fans across Europe are in for a night of epic proportions from the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees on this very historic return.

Confirmed tour dates are below:

5/18 Moscow, Russia Olimpiski

5/20 St. Petersburg, Russia New Arena

5/23 Helsinki, Finland Hartwall Arena

5/25 Stockholm, Sweden Stadium

5/29 Bergen, Norway Bergen Calling Festival

5/31 Oslo, Norway Spektrum

6/2 Malmo, Sweden Malmo Stadium

6/4 Dortmund, Germany Westfalenhalle

6/10 Donnington, UK Download Festival

6/12 Rotterdam, Holland Ahoy

6/15 Bilbao, Spain Azkena Rock Festival

6/17 Nantes, France Hellfest

6/19 Paris, France Bercy
