THE WRETCHED END: Debut Album Artwork

THE WRETCHED END, the new Norway-based band featuring guitarist Samoth (EMPEROR, ZYKLON) and bassist Cosmo (MINDGRINDER) alongside Swedish drummer Nils Fjellström (DARK FUNERAL, IN BATTLE, AEON), is set to release their debut album, "Ominous," on October 25 through Samoth's own imprint label, Nocturnal Art Productions, and marketed and distributed worldwide by Candlelight Records.

According to a press release, THE WRETCHED END's music "can best be described as 'deathrash,' taking elements from both death metal and thrash metal. Many of the songs are quite groove-orientated, and also offer a melodic side. Influences range from the flavors of old-school as well as a more modern death/thrash metal sound."

Viking Skull's "Heavy Metal Thunder" To Be Released October 26

Restricted Release has confirmed October 26 as the North American release date for "Heavy Metal Thunder," a special reissue package from England's Viking Skull.  Remastered and featuring all new artwork, "Heavy Metal Thunder" combines the band's popular debut album, "Born In Hell," and the "Chapter One" EP, both previously unavailable through proper American and Canadian retail outlets. The album also includes five bonus songs and will precede a new, still untitled EP planned for release in early 2011.

Viking Skull, featuring vocalist/guitarist Roddy Stone, guitarists Dom Wallace and Frank Regan, bassist Kevin Waldie, with sole-American drummer Jess Margera (CKY, The Company Band), found initial American interest when the song "Skull Heaven" appeared on volume one of Bam Margera's Viva La Bands compilation series in 2005. A second song, "Blackened Sunrise" would follow on volume two in 2007.
