Kaotoxin is very happy to announce the inking of a multi-album deal with Switzerland's rocking machine THE ERKONAUTS. Founded in 2014 by ex-Sybreed, Djizoes and 7-tone members, THE ERKONAUTS are one of the most dynamic and hardworking bands out of Switzerland today. Playing a very high octane style of their very own, the band strives to pack kick-ass modern power, execution and production with subtle vintage tones and a musical taste that encompasses genres as diverse as Progressive Metal, Fusion, Rock, Thrash Metal, Crossover Metal, Punk, Power Metal, Alternative Metal and whatnot. The first print of their 2014 debut full-length, "I Did Something Bad" (soon followed by the "All the Girls Should Die" single in 2014 too), got sold out in no time while the band was embarking on a world tour that already drove them from Europe to USA, Japan, China and Taiwan. A new edition has soon been released and will most surely be sold out after the band's forthcoming September 2015 « The Great Suppositour » Europe Tour. Currently confirmed tour dates (more TBA): 02.SEP.2015 – FR – Reims 03.SEP.2015 – BE – Liège 05.SEP.2015 – NL – Emmen 09.SEP.2015 – DE – Chemnitz 11.SEP.2015 – BE – Eernegem THE ERKONAUTS will be in the studio in August to record some new tracks.

Buriez on vocals and guitars and Noise Emission Control's F. Blauwblomme (ex-Khromadeath) on vocals throughout the album, will be released as a 12" LP coming as both a 100 copies collector edition red LP or 400 copies limited edition black LP. Both versions will feature the two bonus cover versions (SOD and Nerve) that can also be found on the CD first and second prints. Set for a November 13th worldwide release date, the album has been specifically remastered for analog physical supports at the Conkrete Studio (Otargos, We All Die (laughing)…). In other Putrid Offal news, the band also just unleashed a live music video for the song "Purulent Cold" taken from "Mature Necropsy". It's been shot at their May 23rd 2015 comeback gig, the first gig in nearly 20 years!, with their brand new drummer, Laye of Dehuman, blasting the skins. You can watch it in the post below. Putrid Offal are currently working on the follow-up to "Mature Necropsy" as well as the LP version of "Premature Necropsy: the Carnage Continues" to be unleashed sometimes in 2016 through The Crypt and will play the following festivals.

EYE OF SOLITUDE - Dear Insanity - Kaotoxin (2014)

OVERVIEW
----------------------------------------
UK masters of everything dark and heavy are back with an extremely limited blacker than black collector EP!

Since the release of their debut (Kaotoxin) full-length, “Sui Caedere”, EYE OF SOLITUDE have always explored new territories with each and every release. From the monolithic yet at times Gothic Metal-ish “Sui Caedere” to the Dante’s “Inferno”-based  theatrical play of “Canto III” (Kaotoxin’s best-seller to date!), or with their 2013 EP, “The Deceit” which featured guest vocals by both WE ALL DIE (LAUGHING) vocalists Arno Strobl (CinC / Carnival In Coal, 6:33…) and Déhà (COAG, Maladie…), the brand new EP, “Dear Insanity”, is no exception, seeing the band enter the darkest part of their desolate world for a 50 minutes long single song, a funeral veil of misery, agony and loss.

The loss of beloved ones, the loss of sanity, the feeling of being lost in a mental labyrinth to which the only exit is to become mad to appease the suffering with all the anguish, anxiety and pain it involves. What if the only options to choose from are either feeling infinite pain or loosing your mind to avoid the suffering? There’s no light, no hope. There’s no way out and the “Solitude” in the band’s name has never got such a full musical meaning before.

Lost. Forever. This is what “Dear Insanity” is all about: a transformation, a passage, a slow-motion fall from the celestial grace of the opening minutes into a bottomless downward spiral to the most abyssal darkness. But remember, despite it’s incredible length for a single song (nearly 50 minutes!), “Dear Insanity” is to be considered as an EP and no one knows what the future will be sounding like as EYE OF SOLITUDE are all about never staying comfortable with a “recipe”. All we can expect is what has always been the very essence of the band and that is, obviously, a large part of the “Dear Insanity” basis: touching moments of absolute grace (like the 2:30 long guitar / piano duet at 37:00), blasts of extreme musical suffering (like when the full band kicks in at the beginning of the EP), the darkest of melodies and a captivating, fascinatingly both incredibly heavy and extremely majestic sense for putting feelings of unsufferable pain and profound despair into soulfull pieces of gifted musical sensitiveness.

“Dear Insanity” is not only a (extremely collector musical) gift (to the band’s fans), experiencing the whole of the 50 minutes of it, alone, in the dark, at full volume, is like being extracted from this world of pain and be one with the majestic grace of being lost in yourself, saying goodbye to what once was your sanity.

Transcendence made music.
