Thursday, March 18 – Born of Osiris fans, rejoice! The band makes its triumphant return with their blistering new single, “White Nile” out via Sumerian Records. Having been exclusively premiered with SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal, Born of Osiris has also released the accompanying music video whereby the band stars as ringleaders in the heaviest 1950s nightmare of a circus. Speaking on the release, the band shares:
“We are so excited to bring you the first taste of new music with our track “White Nile.” It has been a hard year for everyone but we’ve been fortunate to lean on each member and each piece of this community we call BoO. Perseverance flows like the Nile, as so we push on. With the release of this track also comes the transition of Nick Rossi to guitar. We are thrilled to go forward with this lineup and have so much more to come.”

Rob CellaComments Off on Metal Blade Records Trial (swe) announces EP, ‘Sisters of the Moon’; launches video teaser On January 29th, Trial (swe) will release a new 2-track EP, Sisters of the Moon, via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of Sisters of the Moon, a video teaser can be viewed at: metalblade.com/trial – where the EP can also be pre-ordered as a 7″ in the following versions: – black vinyl (EU exclusive – limited to 222 copies) – gold vinyl (EU exclusive – limited to 111 copies) The members of Trial (swe) joined forces in 2007 in Sweden, laying their previous musical endeavors to rest to create something together. Doomed by the restlessness of youth, many songs were written during their humble beginnings, but few withstood the test of time. For two years, Trial (swe) rehearsed, wrote and fought their way through hard times – until finally, in 2009, they found Linus, who was able to unite the band and become the voice of Trial (swe). From then on, their vision became clear. The group released their first demo in 2010 – without money, proper equipment or label – which lead to a record deal for their first full-length, The Primordial Temple (2011). Determined to develop their brand of heavy metal even further, Trial (swe) wrote and recorded the Malicious Arts EP (2013), which became yet another stepping stone from where the band was to where they wanted to be. “That EP, in many ways, became our first road to liberate us from ourselves,” Trial (swe) recalls. “Rising from the ashes of our former selves, we took things further beyond, which ultimately resulted in the album ‘Vessel’.” After earning acclaimed reviews for Vessel (2015), Trial (swe)’s popularity continued to grow, and it wasn’t long before Metal Blade Records signed the band. With plans to re-invent themselves once again, Trial (swe)’s debut for the label proved to be another step forward in their career. They took the colossus that is Motherless (2017) and headed out on the Roadkill tour together with Metal Blade comrades Ram and Portrait to conquer Europe. After the tour, the cold winds of change were blowing. On the other end of the storm, Arthur W. Andersson (ex-Air Raid) stepped forth as the new front-man of the band. Re-energized and fully focused, they entered their new phase. As the curse of the world grew stronger, they decided to reveal their new singer through their EP, Sisters of the Moon. Covers of Fleetwood Mac and Black Sabbath were recorded during the black summer of 2020, displaying new levels of Trial (swe) – traditional yet unconventional. “With ‘Sisters…’, we decided to pay tribute to one of the biggest bands out there, the Mighty Mac. Our version is a different take than the original, filled with blazing guitar duels and piercing vocals. This is a side of Trial (swe) you’ve never heard before,” the band explains. “For our Sabbath cover, it all made sense to record ‘Die Young,'” the band continues, “as it is the most outstanding song on ‘Heaven and Hell’. This one is more true to the original, and we are happy to share both of the songs with you.” Sisters of the Moon track-listing 1. Sisters of the Moon 2. Die Young Trial (swe) line-up: Arthur W.
