Recenzja Necrodeath „Arimortis”

 Necrodeath

„Arimortis”

Time To Kill 2025

Pamiętam, że kiedy rozpoczynałem swoją przygodę z muzyką metalową, Necrodeath akurat wypuszczał w świat swoją drugą płytę. Bez wątpienia, „Fragments of Insanity”, wraz z równie mocnym debiutem, miał częściowo wpływ na kształtowanie się moich upodobań. Ogromnie się zatem cieszyłem, kiedy zespół dekadę później powrócił do żywych i nagrał dwa kolejne, bardzo dobre krążki. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Pyre „Where Obscurity Sways”

 Pyre

„Where Obscurity Sways”

Osmose Productions 2025

Rosyjski Pyre powraca z trzecim pełniakiem, co zapewne ucieszy wielbicieli staroszkolnego metalu śmierci. Będą zadowoleni, ponieważ nic specjalnie w ich muzyce się nie zmieniło, ale żre ona dość dobrze. Dziesięć kawałków wypełnionych klasycznymi riffami, płynącymi głównie w średnim tempie, które urozmaicone zostały przez szereg kosmicznie brzmiących i mniej chaotycznych (jak to wcześniej u nich bywało), melodyjnych solówek. (Czytaj dalej...)

Klip PATHOGENIC

 

Boston's PATHOGENIC has launched the official music video for the title track off their new album, Crowned in Corpses.

PATHOGENIC vocalist Jake Burns comments on the song.

“Lyrically, 'Crowned in Corpses' forces an acknowledgment of the bloodlust and brutality that drive wars of conquest. The opening command to “spill the blood of your enemies” is presented without justification, setting the tone for a song that makes no attempt to explain or rationalize the violence it depicts. This deliberate absence underscores the role of media and political narratives in making such conflicts more palatable. Wars of conquest spread unimaginable misery, and no matter the pretext, the conqueror wears a crown paid for with the blood and suffering of others."

The premiere for "Crowned in Corpses" comes via Decibel Magazine. Stream the video now at this location.

Skepsis Recordings will release Crowned in Corpses on February 7, 2025. Pre-order the album now at www.skepsisrecordings.com.

Piosenka od WŸNTËR ÄRVN

 

On March 7th internationally, Antiq is proud to present Wÿntër Ärvn's highly anticipated third album, Sous L'Orage Noir - L'Astre et la Chute.

Wÿntër Ärvn is a one-man project of dark folk, largely instrumental, founded in 2017 by Wÿntër Ärvn (Hardiesse, Vintergeist, ex-Aorlhac, ex-Belore). Strong after the success of the two first albums, Au Devant du Gouffre (2018) and Abysses (2018), Wÿntër Ärvn is back with Sous L'Orage Noir - L'Astre et la Chute in 2025. The spirit of the project, as since the beginning, is to breathe the essence of the '90s / 2000s black metal, which inspired the musician, towards an acoustic and introspective dark music.

Nostalgia, rage, bitterness, and inner struggles are many feelings and state of the soul that can be heard in Wÿntër Ärvn, and take life in the eight songs of this opus, his most personal to date. Darker, with sorrow and with an absolute sincerity, Sous L'Orage Noir - L'Astre et la Chute is a journey into the consciousness of the artist, from anguish to melancholy, with nostalgic looks to the past, and to a surviving hope. Once again, many actors of the black metal scene appear on the album.

Antiq is a label dedicated to the fully coherent concept of making music through sound, image, video, and attitude. They have been putting their entire existence into it since 2009. Over the years, Antiq have been identified as producers of not only perfectly coherent lyrics and themes through music, but also conceptual art and, of course, the manufacturing of beautiful objects. The label tries as much as it can to work with French creators, and if possible, with the smallest and most serious structures.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Ad Versperam" HERE at Antiq's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

W marcu debiut RITUALMORD

 

On March 8th internationally, Unjoy - Art & Ritualia will release Ritualmord's long-awaited debut album, This is Not Lifelover.

A shapeshifting beast to sacrifice.

Conduit of meditations to emanations.

Through the vessels ( ) & 1853,

Ritualmord manifests.

Unbound by genres and style.

Firmly rooted in black metal.

Not as a mere genre, but lifestyle.

With each release, a pursuit to explore.

From neofolk-tinged acoustic rumbles to alternative electronic flirting with industrial.

Drones emerging into post-rock.

Some may say post-black metal, someday.

It began as a place where songs from Lifelover and Hypothermia would go.

As we grow as artists and individuals, yet remain true to ourselves and ideals.

Which is one of the foundations that made those aforementioned bands stand out from the masses.

To creatively be and remain original.

True to ourselves and the art that we live for.

Without boundaries. Ever-evolving.

Behind us are three EPS, ahead of us is the following: our first full-length, This is Not Lifelover.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Inifrån och ut" HERE at Ritualmord's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

GENOCIDAL RITES zapowiadają debiutancki album

 

Today, Hells Headbangers announces March 14th as the international release date for Genocidal Rites' highly anticipated debut album, Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Since 2021, Ohio's Genocidal Rites have been waging war on the American Midwest via a demo and a trio of EPs and especially their mesmerizing live shows. Just last year, Hells Headbangers made a blood pact with the band on their home soil, with the first fruit being the EP Exsanguination of the Gods. As concise of an introduction to Genocidal Rites as any, the feral frequencies across that three-song/nine-minute assault were indeed black, white, and red all over: the Ross Bay gods of war loomed large here, as did paradigmatic Black Witchery and especially Proclamation.

No progression and no compromise, Genocidal Rites now make their Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law. Still throbbing with ignorant barbarity, here do the quintet somewhat flip the script on the bestial metal idiom. Said foundation firmly in place, Genocidal Rites amplify their underlying D-beat influence - think Avskum, GBH, and especially Anti-Cimex - and more so the '80s grindcore of Repulsion, Germany's Blood, Finland's Goat Vulva, and the demos of Sweden's Carnage. As such, Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law is just as blown-out and blackgrinding as expected, but the songwriting and execution slightly deviate from those dogmatically rocking wraparound shades. Pushing this deviance further are the perverted solos swirling about Rites' wreckage, creating a unique headspace for otherwise-hammering intensity. Lyrically, Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law is good on its title, balancing void and chaos magic, total annihilation, death to the Abrahamic religions, psychological mania resulting in true evil, and long-forgotten deities; ritual-ritual-rituals and fumbling through pig's blood this is not. Genocidal Rites have arrived, machetes leveled at you!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "IX Gods / IX Graves" HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Genocidal Rites' Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law

1. Phase 1: Extermination

2. Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abhrahamic Law

3. Severed Heads of the Spiritual Rat King

4. Ritualistic Invocation of Blaspheric Annihilation

5. IX Gods / IX Graves

6. NGAA Incarnate

7. Death Howls From the Abyssal Sepulchres

8. Nuclear Desecration at the Gates of Mekka

Trzeci krążek CHAOS INCEPTION za miesiąc

 

CHAOS INCEPTION - Vengeance Evangel LP

Release date: February 14, 2025

Label: Lavadome Productions

Format: CD/Digital

After twelve years, Chaos Inception returns with Vengeance Evangel, their third album—a declaration of death metal’s raw power. The band presents a timeless release that pushes the genre to its limits, unafraid of defying trends or expectations. This is Chaos Inception’s uncompromising and fearless vision.

Vengeance Evangel creates a soundscape defined by one word: arrogant—not as a flaw, but as self-assurance earned through exceptional talent, years of discipline, and an unwavering drive. Drawing from the rich traditions of Brazilian and Floridian death metal, it pushes the genre’s boundaries with a sharp, focused vision. The album blends these influences with innovative touches—major-key riffs, intricate solos, and an unrelenting approach—that extend the genre’s potential far beyond the ordinary, forming a powerful, unapologetic manifesto. Originality is achieved without relying on keyboards or interludes; its power and atmosphere come from unrestrained force and exquisite composition. Vengeance Evangel is savage death metal in its purest, most unyielding form.

Nowy DÉLIRANT w połowie lutego via Sentient Ruin Laboratories

 

We’re very proud to celebrate the re-emergence of Spain's black metal contortion Délirant from the depths of subconsciousness, the return of which reanimates a crawling ascent of mind and soul destruction through the medium of auditory disfigurement. Shrouded in dissonance and swathed in nightmares, the band’s long awaited new album "Thoughteater" is a sonic dissection of the abyss conceived by long running black metal recluse D.B. (also of Negativa and Hässlig), which will see the light via Sentient Ruin in mid-February 2025.

In the meantime Délirant’s new auditory hallucination has been teased by respected underground metal blog Invisible Oranges, who in premiering the track "Thoughteater IV" have remarked how the work is "a vortex of chaos that clamors for attention and consumes it" and is a "a carefully planned route toward insanity" - you can check out the track and future HERE.

"Thoughteater" is slated for a February 14 2025 release worldwide on LP, CD, MC, digital formats worldwide, all of which are now pre-orderable via all our channels.
