Rising neo-soul master XamVolo shares next track ‘Dark Teeth’, taken from his upcoming debut EP, A Damn Fine Spectacle. Following up previous releases from ‘Lose Love’ and ‘Adored’, ‘Dark Teeth’ once again showcases Xam’s songwriting mastery, rich vocals and compelling mix of beats and chilled vibes. A testament to XamVolo’s innovative style and his way of creating visual worlds within his music, the EP tells a neo-noir story of a young girl who finds herself confronted with a hive containing a black honey substance, (which XamVolo has named ‘Slaize’) capable of granting her every desire.

If previously released single ‘Lose Love’ was her first encounter with the mysterious substance, and ‘Adored’ where she dedicated her time to chasing the dream, XamVolo explains that “Dark Teeth is the third part of the story and details a critically low point in the character’s journey: she fails to receive the approval she so desires, and as the haze clears, a fight or flight response kicks in –it’s not pretty”

Released via Universal on April 13, A Damn Fine Spectacle is an inventive concept EP and serves as a teasing distillation of what is to be explored on his forthcoming debut album, All The Sweetness on the Surface. XamVolo has just completed a huge arena support tour across the UK with Paloma Faith which will culminate with his own headline show at London’s Omeara on the April 11.

Being one of the successful extreme metal forges on the planet, Dimmu Borgir have been dominating the symphonic black metal genre for 25 years. The songwriting core of Dimmu Borgir furthermore consists of charismatic vocalist Shagrath, as well as the string wizards Silenoz and Galder, but other familiar faces also emerge from the darkness: Drummer Daray and keyboarder Gerlioz are still part of the team, and Gaute Storaas helped with the choral arrangements for the majestic voices of the Schola Cantrum Choir. As the title, Eonian, indicates, the band's 10th full-length release is dealing with the illusion of time and marks a tribute to both the band's own past as well as the Norwegian black metal history.

With over 1.3 million Youtube views on their first single, 'Interdimensional Summit', the Norwegian devils have proved that they are back for good after seven years of silence. On May 4, the symphonic black metal masters will deliver their new full-length album, Eonian, but, for now, they unveil their second single with a stunning music video.

The experimental, folkloristic 'Council of Wolves And Snakes' is risking a look far beyond the horizon and proves that the band follows 'no formula, no absolute', as Silenoz vows, and shows that the path sometimes guides them to places they would have never expected to end up when they started their journey.

Vocalist Shagrath states: "It's a song that sticks out from the rest of the album, it's Dimmu Borgir going into an experimental direction, but you can also find a lot of black metal inspiration in the middle section of the song. We are a band that has never been afraid of trying out new directions and artistically this is surely a very interesting and different track."
