“What do you get when you combine an Italian, a wannabe rapper, a human drum machine, a music school nerd, and the whitest man you’ve ever seen in your life? AN ARCHSPIRE EUROPEAN TOUR!!!

It has been over THREE YEARS since we’ve been to Europe, which is absolutely insane, and we’re so pumped to bring this ridiculous package across the Atlantic for another installment of ‘Tech Trek Europe.’ We’ll be playing plenty of songs from our latest release ‘Bleed the Future,’ and we’ll be joined by the incredible Psycroptic, the disgusting Benighted, and the very fun Entheos!

This is going to be a party every single night, and just like our music, the tickets will be going VERY FAST, sale starts Monday, Dec 5th! Hit the URL below to grab yours when they’re available!

We are devastated by this news and apologize for the inconvenience to the fans, hopefully, we can return to actually perform Maniacult in front of you all one day.

After all, it’s not a party until you’ve seen Juliens ‘one minute 24 seconds’ naked feet! See you in the pit, you rascals!”

Aborted commented:

“Ok you dirty ghouls and terror maniacs! The time has come, we’ve all had enough time sitting at home, eating thousands of pizzas and gaining tremendous amounts of weight… and well, eventually, we wrote an album! So here is some good news to make your 2021 hopefully slightly less of a giant smelly turd than 2020:

1. We will be entering the studio, for said album; the writing is done and we are beyond stoked about it. More on that later.
2. HELL OVER EUROPE TIME! That’s right!! Your favorite and most infamous extreme metal tour returns (or well, at least we hope it’s either of those).

Added to the mix to spice up your life are: The Acacia Strain (they hate stuff maybe as much as we do, so we are looking forward to bitch like a bunch of old farts on a daily basis). Once again, we team up with our brothers from (possibly) other mothers Benighted (No promises if Julien will wear footwear, good thing we all have masks, right?). Stefano clearly has some fat to burn, so we figured he should play twice a night and thus our good friends Hideous Divinity have been added as well for a good dose of Mario blasts!”

Benighted Premiere New Song “Stab The Weakest”

Benighted have premiered a new song titled “Stab The Weakest.“ The track is inspired by Michael Myers and it can be streamed below:

Julien Truchan commented:

“We all agree to say that these times we are living in really suck, so everything we can do to cheer us up is welcome! We, Benighted, decided to prepare something special for you and do it the HALLOWEEN way! That’s why we’ve released a new track today called ‘Stab The Weakest,’ a brutal track where you might recognize one of your favorite horror movies theme’s….

With this track, we also have released a very cool shirt designed by our brother Gary Ronaldson, who did a fantastic job again! You can order it and other items on our brand-new Big Cartel shop!”

Benighted Release New Benefit Single “Serve To Deserve”

Benighted have released a new single titled “Serve To Deserve.” The song can be purchased on Bandcamp with proceeds set to go towards Rock N’Eat in Lyon, France.

Julien Truchan commented:

“We are very proud to unleash this very special track that we recorded to support our dear friends from the Rock N’Eat venue in Lyon! The owners of the venue are brothers who are part of the underground scene for more than 20 years and they have put all of their guts in this great venue where so many amazing bands already played like Aborted, Suffocation, Entombed, Der Weg Einer Freiheit, and many others!

Of course because of Covid 19, things are very difficult for them and we want to do everything we can to help them because they FUCKING DESERVE IT! So pls, my friends, we invite you to download this new brutal track and donate what you can to keep the underground alive !!! Thank you for this ! Love you all!”

Benighted Vocalist Julien Truchan Tests Positive For COVID-19, Band Stream New Album “Obscene Repressed”

Benighted’s Julien Truchan has tested positive for COVID-19. The singer contracted the disease while volunteering at a medical facility.

The band commented:

“…This morning we got the sad news that our vocalist Julien Truchan has been tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Unfortunately he contracted the virus during his volunteer work in a Covid medical department. We wish him strength and good recovery !”

In other news, the group are also streaming their new album “Obscene Repressed” in full. That effort will be released tomorrow (April 10). Drummer Kevin Paradis said the following about that:

“It’s with a lot of pride and excitement that we share this album with you! We can’t wait to have some feedback on our work, and I hope our music will bring you some brutal hours during these difficult times! As drummer of the band since their last EP, I have tried to bring some lightening fast blast beat and double bass drum, some groovy beats, intricate fills and polyrythms, but all of this with a punk spirit mandatory to Benighted Brutal Death Metal/Grindcore spirit!

Anyway, I’ve found in these new songs some of the best guitars riffs I ever had to drum on, and I hope you will like them as much as I do, not to mention the unique vocals of our dear Julien. Let’s wish him a good recovery!”
