Fatalist – The Depths Of Inhumanity

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Genre: Death Metal
Label:
Ibex Moon Records

Have you ever listened to an album the first time around and went, “Damn! That’s refreshing!” only to, during the second or so listen, go “wait, now it sounds familiar… and not just because I already listened to this album,”? (yes, I’ve done that without the addition..) It’s funny because, even though you know you’ve heard the likes of The Depths Of Inhumanity before, Fatalist managed to twist enough of the core to their gory death metal whims that it really sounds like something fresh off the presses! What it sounds like this little reviewer, is like they took little bits of Obituary, Exhumed and maybe a little Autopsy and added a couple of thrash riffs with a minty fresh result. Each song starts off strong, pulling you in enough to be satisfied until the end comes with the perfect send-off into the next song, which starts off strong, pulling you in… until the album is over and you hit play again.

Overall: Down and dirty death metal with a hint of thrash and a whole lot of bloodshed! That’s The Depth’s Of Inhumanity in a nut shell.

On July 10th at Belvedere’s in Pittsburgh, PA, the Campaign For Death Metal Purity 2010 Tour featuring HOD, Cardiac Arrest and Gravehill will join forces with death metal pioneers Incantation along with Western Pennsylvania’s low-end sewage death metal masters Funerus and Pittsburgh’s premier death metal juggernauts Abysme under the banner of the Ibex Moon Records Fest. Ibex Moon Records owner and Incantation frontman, John McEntee comments on the event:

“We are very proud to bring this killer death metal event to Western Pennsylvania. There are a lot of great bands from this area along with a huge fan base. This will be the first time Incantation has played Pittsburgh in at least two years. For Funerus it’s been even longer, something like five years or more. This show will also feature performances by some of the best live death metal bands to emerge on the scene in quite some time. Gravehll, HOD, & Cardiac Arrest have all proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with. We hope with the success of this kick ass bill, we can bring more great death metal shows to the ‘Burgh. We look forward to a kick ass gig and hanging out with all our local friends.”

The first 25 people paid through the door will receive a free Fest T-shirt. Ibex Moon Records will be giving away additional prizes throughout the fest.

Afterparty Massacre – Come Out for a Killer Party!

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

The Afterparty Massacre

Giving a new twist to horror, the Afterparty Massacre, brings metal, blood and gore back to the screen! Written by Kristoff (Horrormerch.com/Spookygirls.com) and Kyle Severn (Incantation, Acheron, and other various side projects), Afterparty Massacre is one killer party with mind-blowing amounts of blood, metal and (naked) flesh!

Afterparty Massacre centers around live performances by Acheron and Incantation. During the show they encounter a mysterious female fan, that becomes a bloodthirsty killer with a voyeuristic side to her. “She loves watching and waiting for the perfect moment to attack her victims. Her bloodlust can not be contained and in the final scenes she unleashes her wrath on the band as well as the crowd until no one is left standing!”

Kristoff mentions. Plus, the soundtrack itself is a major part of this production including bands such as: 16volt, Asphyx, Cardiac Arrest, Crucifier, Denial Fiend, Divine Eve, Estuary, Fatalist, Funerus, Goreaphobia, Gravehill, Luxury Pushers, Master, Pentacle, Ventana and more! Both Incantation and Acheron are performing new exclusive songs within the movie. While Denial Fiend, Goreaphobia, Ventana and a few other bands will have unreleased exclusive tracks for this feature as well. “The music is just as important to this movie as the blood and gore.” Kyle mentions. “The music itself really makes the scenes, it really completes the soundscape for a total massacre. We plan on releasing a CD of the bands featured in the movie via Ibex Moon around the time of the release of the film as well.”

This film will be full of side stories, drunken crowds and plenty of scantly clad metal chicks with its share of nudity. “We’re going at it from all angles!” Kristoff laughs. “We’re shooting both hardcore and soft-core versions of footage here, just not sure at the immediate on which version it’s all going to end up!”

This brings up the point that there may be two different versions of the film released. “We had the idea of shooting two versions of the film for both audiences… the ones that want a darker story with all the blood and gore but not all the hardcore sex involved, and the ones that want all hardcore sex with a lighter story line and the blood and gore mixed in!” He also notes “We’ll be editing them both a bit differently to cater to both audiences. We’ll be shooting the kill scenes from multiple angles and also doing the same with the hardcore/soft-core scenes so it’s not just the same movie repackaged with ‘bonus footage’ as most movies are released today. Both versions will have different exclusive audio tracks and exclusive kill scenes in each version so it adds in a bit more to the depth of the production making it actually worth checking out both versions.”

Along with the overdose on blood, metal, booze and sex comes the sideshow aspect as well. “We’ve ‘hooked up’ with a suspension crew and we’re bringing in a few friends of ours to do up some fire/piercing/grinding performances as well.” adds Kristoff. “We wanted to bring in these dangerous aspects within this subcultre that don’t always get the most attention. We’ll have guys suspended by hooks flying through the air, girls fire breathing, girls with split tounges, guys with all sorts of different body modifications and performance piercings everywhere! Having this dangerous attraction will be a great addition to this movie for sure!”

“It’s a really fun project that I’m looking forward to be a part of!” mentions Kristoff in talking with him about the film. “Having worked with Rob Rotten on Texas Vibrator Massacre (Metro Video/Punx Productions) I definitely learned a lot from that experience and wanted to give horror movie making a go for myself.” He also adds, “Plus when Kyle approached me about making a movie with all the bands that wanted to be part of such a huge soundtrack, we sat down with a few existing ideas I had and we elaborated on them to create this production.”

The film is to be shot this February, with a tentative May release date in open markets. “With Incantation playing the Maryland Deathfest, we figured this would be the absolute best time for the release. Tons of black/death metal, lots of blood, lots of naked chicks, it’s an ideal release date for this movie!” mentions Kyle in regards to the release of the film.

With the release of the UNRATED version for the Maryland Deathfest, Ibex Moon will be distributing the “cleaner” version of the film. On the other side, Punx Productions is on board to release the XXXTRA FLESH (adult) version as well, “Rob Rotten is great to work with and when I mentioned this idea to him he was hyped to bring this in line of his other horror releases (Texas Vibrator Massacre/Porn of the Dead) and being involved wherever he could.” Kristoff mentions.

Look for both the UNRATED and XXXTRA FLESH versions of the movie plus the CD soundtrack for the Afterparty Massacre due out in late May.
