New Delhi’s FRAGARAK release brand new single

‘In Rumination II- Reflections’ is the title of progressive death metal band Fragarak‘s new single, released as a motion graphics video. True to progressive form, the song is a roller coaster ride of a dark marriage between the esoteric and the innovative, clocking at over 11 minutes in duration. The song will feature on their upcoming 2nd studio release, which bears the title A Spectral Oblivion. It will be an ambitious 2-disc album to be released by the label Transcending Obscurity, and can be pre-ordered as either a limited edition 8-panel digipak or as a digital download with a t-shirt. The album cover has been designed by the Malaysian studio Intuitive Designs. Listen to the single below.

KRYPTOS release brand new music video and reveal new album details

Literally, a metal fist in the air as the album cover. That’s how little of a doubt Bangalore‘s KRYPTOS want to leave regarding what their 4th full-length album Burn up the Night is going to be all about. This announcement was made today by their German label AFM Records who have finalized the release date to be September 23rd. The artwork is very clearly a throwback to the 80s style of traditionally painted album covers representing metal’s ‘glory’ in more literal ways. The artist Mattias Frisk is best known for his artwork for the occult rock band Ghost.
