“Omniscient” marks the return of the originators of the ‘Progressive Power Metal’ movement  10 years after their last full length studio recording. It features the powerful metal melodies of founding members Steve Kachinsky Blakmoor and Rick Mythiasin.

This teaser follows the release of two video clips on YouTube – “666 Is Everywhere (the Heavy Metal Blues)”  and “Tree of Knowledge” , both filmed by Agent Steel’s guitarist Bernie Versailles -, and features original artworks by acclaimed German artist Timo Würz. Besides working on “Omniscient” cover artwork, Würz has also painted 12 originals panels to illustrate the story narrated in “Omniscient”.

“Omniscient” concept is actually based on an original story written by STEEL PROPHET’s guitarist Steve Kachinsky Blakmoor. The limited edition 36-page digibook features the entire story, while the regular edition compact disc only has its introduction. But do not worry, as there will be a special link where fans will be able to download the story. “Omniscient” will also be released on digital and Gatefold double LP edition (available after summer).

“Omniscient” also contains the cover of QUEEN’s classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” which the band successfully presented  on the Keep It True Festival’s stage last year.

Cruz Del Sur Music has opened today the pre-orders for the album through our online store:

The Cult of Vestal Claret: streaming and free download

We are pleased to offer the first song off Vestal Claret’s upcoming release in streaming and free download!

The title track “The Cult of Vestal Claret” is one of the strongest compositions on the album. Enjoy its monolithic yet eclectic rhythmic session, the dark, precise and cutting riffs, and the charismatic, preaching voice of Phil Swanson, the Ceremonial Master of The Cult of The Vestal Claret!

The album has been recently described by UK’s  Doom Metal Heaven as “the jangling melancholy of Trouble, the epic stomp of Candlemass, the creative freedom of Sabbath, add a big handful of classic 1980′s metal and off they go, exploring places where no light shines.“

We believe the description fits quite well with what you listened on this premier of “The Cult of Vestal Claret”.

Release-date: May 2nd Available in CD | LP | DIGITAL

Pre-orders soon on www.cruzdelsurmusic.com ! Pre-sale at Keep It True Festival, April 25/26!

CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC: exciting news for April and May 2014

adminLeave a comment

April is the month of Keep It True Festival, which will be taking place on the last weekend of the month. Cruz Del Sur Music will be present as usual, enjoying this great festival and supporting our recording artists Atlantean Kodex (their show is scheduled for Saturday 26th April at 6 pm).

During the festival we will also present two of our May releases, Vestal Claret “The Cult of Vestal Claret” and Battleroar “Blood of Legends”.

For years Vestal Claret has been very hard to find and listen due to the nature of their mysterious existence.  Only in 2011, with the release of “Virgin Blood” (Sarlacc Productions) 7’’ vinyl EP and the “Bloodbath” full-length album, the band was finally able to reach out to the fans.
Their Cruz del Suir Music’s 2014 release “The Cult of The Vestal Claret” is introduced by the art of Juha Vuorma, and is a sum of Vestal Claret’s blackened essence. It features re-recorded versions of their tracks from their split with Ungod and the long, creepy suite “Black Priest” (from their split with Albatross). Besides, it introduces some new occult metal classics such as “The Stranger” and “Great Goat God”, and a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Who Are You”.

 “The Cult of the Vestal Claret” will be available, in compact disc, vinyl (with different tracklist) and digital in all stores from May 2nd , and also pre-sold at Keep It True.

Copies of their previous releases “Bloodbath” (compact disc) and “Virgin Blood” can be found at our e-store. Read more “CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC: exciting news for April and May 2014”
