Hanging Garden (Hki/Mikkeli) julkaisi 27.10. viidennen levynsä, "I Am Become", jolla vierailijoina kuullaan mm. Tomi Joutsen (Amorphis, Hallatar) ja Niko Kalliojärvi (ex-Amoral). Levy on kerännyt kiittetäviä arvioita, mm. Infernossa 4,5/5.

ATLASES
Debyytti EP:nsä juuri julkaissut Modern Post Metal yhtye saapuu Bar Loosen lauteille tuoden mukanaan toiveikasta, synkkää, raskasta, lohdutonta tunnelmointia.

BESRA
Turkulainen Besra on ex-Callisto-kitaristin visiosta syntynyt avant-garde-metallibändi. Besran hidas, kauniisti melodisoiva ja brutaalisti ruhjova äänivalli on yksinkertaisesti koettava livenä. Besra on julkaisemassa esikoisalbuminsa ensi keväänä.

Nations are not great, nor should they define us.

What has given us strength and a sense of purpose is our society, its values and a collective effort for the betterment of one and all.

As our nation celebrates its one hundreth year of sovereignty, many of the ideals that this society was built upon are met with scorn and disregard.

Like foul puppets in the hands of those who seek to gain power and wealth through hate and fear, and seemingly blind to misdeeds of the past, we desperately try to shift the blame on those worse off than us.

Yet we are awake.

Blood is not what unites us.

Words should not tear us apart.

JAA tapahtuma ja voit VOITTAA palkinnon!

Loppuvuosi muuttuu entistä synkemmäksi, kun DECEMBER DOOM -tapahtumassa lavalle nousevat Shape Of Despair, Hanging Garden, The Moth Gatherer (SWE) ja Counting Hours.

Jaa tapahtuma sivullasi ja osallistut seuraavien tuotteiden arvontaan:

- SHAPE OF DESPAIR "Alone in the Mist" CD tai vinyyli

Revealing the new beast!

As some of you might know two of my guitars were stolen in April and I've finally found a replacement...it's a real beauty! Can't wait to try it in real action.

Nice reviews from Germany... in German!

"Insgesamt wirkt die Band inzwischen aber viel gereifter und vielschichtiger, ohne dabei jedoch nach einem verkopften Prog-Experiment zu klingen. Ganz im Gegenteil – das Album profitiert von eingängigen und klar gesungenen Refrains, die einen entspannenden Gegensatz zu den zentnerschweren Deathdoom-Riffs bieten, die vereinzelt auftauchen. Dazu passt auch die warme, breitflächige Produktion, die den Zuhörer förmlich ins Klangmeer eintauchen lässt und kein Detail verschluckt." (8/10p.)
http://www.metal.de/reviews/hanging-garden-i-am-become-294581/
"FAZIT: Mit ihrem fünften Album scheinen HANGING GARDEN in „ihrem“ Stil angekommen sein und heben sich ein gutes Stück weit vom Gros der finnischen Szene ab. "I Am Become" ist ein intensiver Trip, auf den man zwar alle Stereotypen, die für Metal-Finnland gelten, anwenden kann, doch die sechs Herren darauf zu beschränken wäre vermessen." (12/15p.)

"As Above, So Below" is the opener from our recently released fifth album "I Am Become".

Combining Finnish language, rhythmic elements we've never used before and melodic metal with a twist of electronica, it's probably the most versatile song we've ever written. Check it out!

...and another nice in depth review (4,5/5) from Sputnik Music.

"Ultimately, Hanging Garden succeeded in bundling their by now impressive experience in the melodic death/doom genre with the best elements of their recent, more divisive experimentation and produce their best album to date."

"I Am Become" in stores now!

Another excellent 90/100 review, this time by LordsOfMetal.

"The songs on ‘I Am Become’ all deal with the loss of beloved ones and all feelings that are caused by death, loss and yearning. Obviously this results in a very sensitive, deep-draught collection of songs in which we can lose ourselves in far-reaching melancholy."

Also, check out the interview with Toni Toivonen.

91/100 review from Infernal Masquerade.

"Filled with brilliant melodic Death/Doom Metal elements, this album perfectly blends the band’s old-school sound with their more modern and atmospheric influences."

Withdrawn to the woods of Pernaja. Gear in place. Practice camp about to start.

Inferno arvioi: 4,5 / 5.

"I Am Become on kerrassaan elegantti ja ehyt taideteos, joka edesauttaa syksyn suloiseen surmaan uppoutumista."

New single "Hearthfire" with Tomi Joutsen (Amorphis) is out now! "Hearthfire" is taken from the upcoming album "I Am Become" - out October 27th!

The video was directed by the highly talented Julia Alakulju (Illusia Creative):

"Hearthfire had a strong visual impact for me, and I started creating the idea for the video from the music. Most of the video has been filmed for 8mm with a camera from 1967 and film hand processed. Making the video was a great opportunity to combine new and old technics with a symbolic story and atmosphere to support."

Huomenna ilmestyvässä Infernossa haastattelu ja mikäli oikein ymmärsimme myös levyarvio...ja tietysti paljon muutakin lukemisen arvoista. Osta lehti ja tutustu tarkemmin!

Coming soon...

13/15 from Twilight-magazin.

"Fazit: HANGING GARDEN sind für mich die Überraschung dieses Herbstes. Denn auf ihrem neuen Longplayer „I Am Become“ finden die Finnen zu alter Stärke zurück, vermögen sie es doch, ihre überaus melancholischen, sehnsüchtigen und schwermütigen Melodien genau der richtigen Portion infernaler, brutaler Härte auszusetzen. Endlich einmal wieder ein Album, das organisch wie aus einem Guss klingt. Atmosphärischer Qualitätsmetal made in Finland!"

Vernissassa synkistellään DECEMBER DOOM -tapahtumassa 9.12., kun lavalle kapuaa Shape Of Despair, seuranaan Hanging Garden, The Moth Gatherer (SWE) ja Counting Hours.

Shape Of Despair on keikkaillut Euroopassa kesällä 2015 julkaistun “Monotony Fields” -albumin jälkeen mutta vasta nyt, useiden vuosien tauon jälkeen, yhtye nähdään klubikeikalla kotimaassa.

Hanging Garden juhlistaa samassa tapahtumassa viidettä levyään “I Am Become”, joka julkaistaan 27.10. Lifeforce Recordsin toimesta. Levyllä vierailevat mm. Tomi Joutsen (Amorphis) ja Niko Kalliojärvi (Humavoid, ex-Amoral).

Tukholmassa perustettu The Moth Gatherer on julkaissut kaksi albumia, joista etenkin jälkimmäinen, “The Earth Is The Sky” (2015), keräsi kehuja kriitikoilta ympäri maailman. TMG:n yhdistelee musiikkiinsa vaikutteita niin doomista ja postrockista kuin shoegazesta ja elektronisesta musiikista. Tänä vuonna julkaistulla EP:llä vierailevat Dennis Lyxzen (Refused, INVSN) ja Fred Burman (Satan Takes A Holiday).

Counting Hours on tuore bändi varustettuna kokeneilla muusikoilla. Soittajien CV:ssä on yhtyeitä kuten Shape Of Despair, The Chant, Impaled Nazarene ja Colosseum. Musiikissa on kuultavissa kaikuja 90-luvun ruotsalaisesta melodisesta metallista.
