The „Saints” CD was released early April 2016 and has been gaining critical praise with 9/10 being the most usual score.
 
Metal Hammer Poland: „(…)it’s beyond comprehension. The fact, that a record of this fantastic quality has to be released by the band itself. It might be a proof that the metal market has reached its bottom”
Heavyrock.pl: „(…) it might be one of the best records of 2016 on European scale. Not to mention Poland.

The Icelandic thrash metal band Skurk just released a single from their upcoming album Blóðbragð.  The song got the name Refsing and it is a chapter in a saga of Mjöll and her ill fate.  The song is a quite old school thrash tune with bit of twist and turns.  The album Blóðbragð is soon to be released and will be delivered into your ears pure essence of metal and a dramatic story of decisive murder and regrets.
HERE you can hear the song        
You can pre order Blóðbragð by sending mail to inconsistency.records@gmail.com for further detail.

AXEMASTER ANNOUNCES NEW LEAD GUITARIST
For the first time in the long history of AXEMASTER, the band would like to announce that they have added a second lead guitarist, Damin Bennett. He has fit in perfectly with the band and is already playing a major role in songwriting by creating unique guitar parts to go along with many of the existing riffs from both the band's new and old material. Damin's debut show is booked for July 29th at the Empire concert club in Akron, Ohio with Axemaster's Pure Steel label-mates Power Theory and Wretch. Check outhttps://www.facebook.com/events/506313182896479/ for show details.
Joe Sims said on Damin's addition to the band's roster "it's one of the best things we've ever done as a band, right along with when we decided to add first Geoff and then Denny. Damin is an AMAZING player who's really creative and provides a different and fresh perspective on all the tunes. Also, now that we are splitting all the leads and since his style is pretty different than mine, everything has a lot of extra diversity. Last and most importantly, he's a great guy and total professional who fits in with everyone like he was born to be a part of Axemaster! I hope the fans in the area will come out to our show on the 29th and see all this for themselves!!!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+++++++
