Recenzja Epitome „Goodbye My ROT”

 Epitome

„Goodbye My ROT”

Deformeating Prod. 2025

Tak się akurat trafiło, że siedziałem na kanapie, i zastanawiałem się, co by sobie tutaj zapierdolić, żeby było krótko, mocno, i treściwie. I dosłownie chwilę później zapukał listonosz (oczywiście dwa razy), i dostarczył mi najnowsze wydawnictwo z Deformeating Productions, w postaci szóstego krążka Epitome. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Bezdan „Upon the Altar”

 Bezdan

„Upon the Altar”

I Hate Records 2025

Bezdan jest kapelą z Chorwacji, gdzie powstała w 2012 roku. Od tamtej pory trochę już nagrali, bo wypuścili demosa, epkę, kompilację i dwa single w wersji kasetowej. Pod koniec listopada ukazał się ich debiutancki album, który kopie nieźle w zadek. Jeśli lubicie stare, dobre lata osiemdziesiąte i wczesne nagrania takich ekip jak Sepultura, Slayer, Bulldozerczy też ówczesną szkołę niemiecką oraz raczkujący Death i Possessed, to „Upon the Altar” jest dla was. (Czytaj dalej...)

Debiut SHINE końcem stycznia

 

Poland's SHINE will make its undeniable mark on the world next year with the release of Wrathcult. The band's debut album will be out January 30 on Dark Descent Records.

Get an early taste of the fury to come with album track "Wrath of the Hammer." Listen now at youtu.be/-MEeFC74xvo

Pre-order Wrathcult on digital, CD and vinyl formats at:

Dark Descent Records: www.darkdescentrecords.com/shop

Dark Descent Records EU Store: ddmsuo.eu

Dark Descent Records Band Camp: darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

Born from the grips of the pandemic, SHINE are the newest brainchild of Hazael’s Tomasz Dobrzeniecki, and their first album Wrathcult leaves no doubt that a new force in Polish extreme metal has awakened.

Inspired by the likes of Emperor, Bathory, Morbid Angel, Entombed and Dismember, Dobrzeniecki’s new outfit channels that lineage into something raw, relentless, and unmistakably its own.

The album was recorded at Heinrich House Studio in Legionowo, Poland - a small city on the outskirts of Warsaw that holds an important place in metal history, being the hometown of Daray (Dimmu Borgir, Vesania), Orion (Behemoth, Vesania) and Heinrich (Vesania, Decapitated). “Me and producer Heinrich (Filip Hałucha) have known each other for about 20 years. If you want to record a metal album that 100% meets your expectations, I think he's the only person that I trust.”

An uncompromising slab of ancient fury awaits! “See you in Valhalla! I’ve heard the parties there are worth dying for,” exclaims Dobrzeniecki.

Wrathcult Tracklist:

1. Ancient Chaos

2. The Lamb Against the Wolf

3. Kneel Before the Serpent

4. Oddajcie co moje

5. The Cult of Oak

6. The Horror of the Night

7. Witch's Prophecies

8. Wrath of the Hammer

9. The Necklace With Runes

10. Ancient Spirit

SAD WHISPERINGS wracają z nową płytą

 

LEGENDARY ATMOSPHERIC DEATH/DOOM METAL BAND ‘SAD WHISPERINGS’ TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM ‘THE HERMIT’

Atmospheric Death/doom metal band SAD WHISPERINGS are set to release their new album ‘THE HERMIT.’ The album ebbs and flows through dour but elegant Gothic passages, interspersed with the barbarous extremity of death metal. While clean keys and melodic guitar weave their tapestry of ghostly lore, the growls and impregnable rhythms grip a tight hold upon the compositions.

Dutch act SAD WHISPERINGS was founded in 1990 as Desecrate, first playing a more traditional style of death metal. After being influenced by doom pioneers MY DYING BRIDE, ANATHEMA AND PARADISE LOST, the band changed their name and switched their style to Gothic death/doom. After sharing the stage with many renowned acts, a number of line-up changes led the band to dissolve in 2004. After releasing new material in the form of the ‘STRATEGY OF TENSION’ EP, the band’s renewed energy inspired them to release ‘THE HERMIT.’

‘THE HERMIT’ is their first full-length since their 1993 debut album ‘SENSITIVE TO AUTUMN’ but the band has wasted no time in settling back into their sound. The album is a gorgeous and emotive display of Gothic undertones mixed with the underground, extreme elements of death metal

Recenzja Funeral Vomit „Upheaval of Necromancy”

 Funeral Vomit

„Upheaval of Necromancy”

Xtreem Music 2025

Funeral Vomit to dość świeża załoga na scenie, bowiem panowie istnieją zaledwie pięć lat. Piszę „zaledwie”, bo jak na tak krótki okres zdążyli naprodukować już demo, dwa splity, EP-kę i dwa pełniaki, z których to ten ostatni właśnie zakłóca mi domowy mir. Mimo iż panowie pochodzą z Ameryki Południowej, ich twórczość zdecydowanie bardziej zakorzeniona jest w kontynencie północnym, a słuchając „Upheaval of Necromancy”, pierwszymi nazwami które wam przyjdą na myśl będą zapewne Mortician, Impetigo czy Necrophagia. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Ophidian Memory

„Seraphim”

Independent 2025

Ophidian Memory to solowy projekt Blake’a Lamourex, który mieszka sobie w stanie Iowa. Amerykanin ma już na koncie trzy płyty, a obecnie wydaje czwartą, którą jest „Seraphim”. To album koncepcyjny, który opowiada kolejną historię z wymyślonego przez tego muzyka świata o nazwie „Existence”. (Czytaj dalej...)

Klip od DECLINE OF THE I

 

French philosophically-themed black metallers DECLINE OF THE I share pro-shot live video for the song “Diev Vide”, lifted from the band’s fourth studio album “Johannes” from 2021.

The video was filmed and edited in France in fall 2025 by Laura-Lee Soleman and engineered by Simon Assathiany.

DECLINE OF THE I is a combination of multifaceted, post-black metal and exploratory lyrics, that dwell on topics of existential philosophy. Originating from France (Paris, Île-de-France), the band was created by AK, who descends from a rich portfolio of past and on-going acts (including Vorkreist, Merrimack, The Order Of Apollyon, Neo Inferno 262, Malhkebre and Diapsiquir). DECLINE OF THE I is his most personal endeavor yet. The band's first three albums were inspired by the works of French surgeon and neurologist, Henri Laborit. The latest album - "Wilhelm" from 2025 - pursues a different approach, based on the output of Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, and marks the second installment of a new trilogy, started with "Johannes" in 2021.

Recenzja Burning Death „Burning Death”

 Burning Death

„Burning Death”

Caligari Rec. 2025

Z Nashville, w stanie Tennesee, uderza trio weteranów tamtejszej sceny, kryjące się tutaj pod nazwą Burning Death. Twór ten został powołany do życia w roku dwudziestym pierwszym by eksplorować meandry staroszkolnego thrash metalu lat osiemdziesiątych. To, że panowie scenę z tamtych lat, zwłaszcza tą teutońską, mają w małym paluszku, słychać w zasadzie od pierwszej nutki. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Nattradio „The Longest Night”

 Nattradio

„The Longest Night”

Darkness Shall Rise Productions 2025

Wiem, że wielu fanów metalu lubi płyty późnej Katatonii więc skrobnę parę słów o Nattradio, który jest szwedzkim projektem dwóch gości, grających niegdyś w Disgrace, ale nie w tym od demosa „The Last Sign of Existence”, lecz w tym drugim, który nagrał „Land of Mercy”. Wtedy panowie grali death-thrash, a teraz rzeźbią w delikatnej materii, która zalewa melancholią. (Czytaj dalej...)
