Forgotten Tomb To Release New Album This Fall

...And Don't Deliver Us From Evil is the title of the 6th full-length album from Italy's FORGOTTEN TOMB. More powerful and straight to the point, the album begins where it's antecedent - Under Saturn Retrograde - melodically ended. The directions  of the new release may vary however over the last year's offering, as the band submerges into more dark, horror-like regions and underground scenery, serving us a more steady and mature recording. FORGOTTEN TOMB is still obscure, melodic and still follows its own negative path - continuously experiencing with sound and imaginativeness.  But as fans of the formation may already know, the Italian outfit is likely to surprise the listener during the long and complex compositions, smuggling mainstream-music elements and wise song-structures into the outwardly seamy and fearsome metal landscapes, making the obvious music sub-genres sound not that obvious any more.

According to the leader and songwriter Ferdinando 'Herr Morbid' Marchisio, this new album is the most personal one he has written since 2004's Love's Burial Ground and it explores the darkest corners of his mind like never before, making it without any doubt one of the band's more tortured and twisted offerings.

The album was recorded in Elfo Studio (Italy) by Daniele Mandelli (Love’s Burial Ground, Negative Megalomania, Songs To Leave, etc.) and mastered at Finnvox Studios (Impaled Nazarene, Amorphis, Children Of Bodom, Finntroll, HIM).

Devilstone Open Air: Solid And Diverse..

Click to enlargeDevilstone Open Air, for the third time to happen on July 15-17, 2011,
reports a credible storm coming as wild steel winds pledges rising all
over the world.  With thrash hurricanes coming from British Islands,
shining forces from Scandinavia, and extreme heat from Italy, the vigorous
clash in Dainuva valley is destined.

Intrepid Irish GAMA BOMB ignored the pagan black trend in their country
and paid homage to thrash metal. The band remains loyal to their
inspiration sources including horror, action, and sci-fi films, animation
and PC games. Thus, peculiar humour transpierces their lyrics and music
distinguishes in fast rhythmic instrumental parts with a vocal
interchanging between aggressiveness and squeaking falsetto.

Other masters of fast tempos come with solo parts infused with outstanding
Dave Silver vocals and promise to be the brightest discovery of the year.
SAVAGE MESSIAH boldly head for their first performance in the Baltic area
bringing their latest album and vigorous sound.

Since “Terrorizer” readers elected MUTANT the best unsigned band of 2010,
performance invitations grew rapidly. The band already has a solid
background in the field as they played at the biggest UK festivals
Bloodstock, Hammerfest, and Damnation. After conquering Home Island, the
only way forward is go continental and Devilstone offers an excellent
place to start.

The Grand Reunion will be celebrated loudly as OCTOBER TIDE returns to the
big stage carrying full vessels of energy. At Devilstone, the band intends
presenting their latest album “A Thin Shell” praised by critics for
atmospheric, more spatial, and qualitative sound. But since it is the
first time OCTOBER TIDE performs in Baltic region and fans still remember
the madness caused by “Rain Without End”, we hope musicians will infuse
some good old tunes in their performance. As OCTOBER TIDE are one of the
strongest and most elite delegates of doom/death metal, indubitably their
performance is bound to be perfect and mesmerising.

More scandalous, provocative, and eccentric dose of metal is guaranteed by
FORGOTTEN TOMB. We heard of their weird and immoral speeches followed by a
gesture, we heard of their self-infliction, self-destruction, and
depression, and we shall recognize the sarcasm and self-pointing irony. As
their latest album is nearly ripened, the fans can expect to hear new
prophecies of bold intolerance and hatred towards the weak, the naive, and
the conformists in the society.

And last but not least, ONDSKAPT, a band once blessed with Niklas
Kvarforth’s (Shining) creative input and priding in three released albums
throughout existence. Their qualitative Swedish black metal and
authoritative lyrics proclaim their personal approach towards the values,
human being, life and death. Line-up next is HELLISH OUTCAST with
charismatic Torbjørn "Thebon" Schei (Keep of Kalessin) at the front.
Norwegians playing modern thrash metal cannot brag in album plenitude, but
promise an aggressive show during their live performance.

Tickets

Standard ticket price is 23 Euro and great discounts available for groups.
Tickets can be purchased at www.devilstone.net and alternatively, at
www.tiketa.lt . The standard price will increase later on.

Facts and Roots

- The previous Devilstone open air festivals featured worldwide famous
bands including SEPULTURA, MAYHEM, KEEP OF KALESSIN, GRAVE, TANKARD,
SINISTER, CODE, to name but few.
- The festival’s title arose from a local legend. It is said that a devil
carried a huge stone aiming to crush Anyksciai’ church. As the dawn broke
a rooster sang scaring the hell out of the devil. Running for the hideout
he threw the stone aside where it lies up to date. One can visit the
landmark titled Puntukas in a meadow of the Anyksciai Regional Park.
- The festival ground is located on the riverside of Sventoji (Lithuanian
word for “The Saint One”) in the valley of Dainuva. The distance to the
town centre is roughly 1 kilometre.
