HERUKA reveal new details for "Panacea" and launch new single "Taedium Vitae"

Cult black metal act Heruka returns with "Panacea", a six-track EP fully sung in Italian poetry-style lyrics, continuing the approach of their previous full-length Memorie. The death theme remains at the core of this release, reinforcing the band’s dark and evocative storytelling.

A new track, "Taedium Vitae", has been released as a visualizer and is now available on all major streaming platforms.

🎥 Visualizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zstSpEpg-xY

🎧 Streaming: https://soundraiser.io/link/heruka-taedium-vitae

Tracklist:

1. Peisithanatos
2. Accabadora
3. Taedium Vitae
4. Francis Bacon
5. Panacea
6. Danza (re-recorded 2003 version)

The cover artwork pays tribute to the death of Arria and Paetus, a dramatic episode from ancient Rome. Paetus, a prisoner after a failed revolt against Emperor Claudius, was urged by his wife Arria to take his own life rather than endure dishonor. When he hesitated, Arria demonstrated her resolve by stabbing herself, handing him the dagger with the words, "It does not hurt, Paetus." The artwork is based on François-André Vincent’s 1784 painting of the event.

Panacea will be released on March 21, 2025, in a limited edition digipack CD via Rude Awakening Records and will also be available on all major streaming platforms.

METAL DETEKTOR: signs to Rude Awakening Records, new track online


METAL DETEKTOR will be the next band to be released on Rude Awakening Records. Founded in 2000 and hailing from Calabria (Italy), the renewed five piece act will return this summer with a brand new album that will follow the 2021 EP "Maximum Overdrive".

About the next album the band declares: It’s a work that continues to explore the roots of pure Heavy Metal, but at the same time evolves the band’s sound, with more reflective writing and a narrative that becomes more intimate and personal. The album is divided into eight tracks that deal with themes of violence, resistance, pride and sacrifice, highlighting the most complex nuances of human life. The approach to composition is always direct and uncompromising, but with an increasing attention to the emotional construction of each song. “Violence and Pride” is not just a Heavy Metal album, but a reflection about the themes of struggle, resistance and identity. The common thread that links the tracks is the path that starts from suffering to reach awareness and inner strength. The stories of those who rebel, those who fight, those who resist are all different but have the same essence in common: the spirit of those who never give up.

The first single to be chosen from the upcoming record is "Shadowrunner", available for streaming on all the main providers.

All the details of the next Metal Detektor album will be revealed soon, phyisical edition will be available as a limited CD via Rude Awakening Records.

Sardinian Blackened Death Metallers SHARDANA Join The Roster of Rude Awakening Records

Shardana, the blackened death metal band from Sardinia, Italy, is proud to announce that a deal has been inked with Rome-based label Rude Awakening Records.
The deal regards a new album, the release date of which, as well as other details, have not yet been revealed.

The band debuted in 2010 with a self-titled EP, followed four years later by the self-released full-length No Cadena, No Presoni, No Spada, No Lei. The latest effort is the full-length Milli Annos (2020, Rafchild Records).

SHARDANA was formed early in 2008 with the intent of creating a metal band with epic and battling sounds, merging Heavy Metal with Black and Viking influences. Historically speaking, Shardana was the name of the Sardinian pirates who sailed the Mediterranean sea in the second millennium BCE. Their history inspires the songwriting of the band to a large degree, and the lyrics are about the glorious courage and legendary pride of those people who contributed so much to increase the influence of Sardinia at the times of pharaoh Ramses or during the Roman Empire.

Stay tuned, more info about the new album coming soon!

Next shows:

August 23 / Sons Of Rock Metal Fest, Anfiteatro Mores, Sassari (IT) w/SINISTER

September 19-20-21 / Cosmic Void Festival, London (UK) w/THE KOVENANT, NECROPHOBIC, and more

SHARDANA is:

Aaron Tolu - Vocals
Daniele Manca - Guitars, Vocals
Lorenzo Mariani - Guitars, Vocals
Luca Littera - Bass
Federico Sala - Drums
