Recenzja Krypta Nicestwa „Remanenciis Rituum Execrabilium”

 Krypta Nicestwa

„Remanenciis Rituum Execrabilium”

Lower Silesian Stronghold 2025

Ostatnim materiałem Krypty Nicestwa który słyszałem, była wydana pięć lat temu EP-ka „Sarkofagi Nocnych Zjaw”, i z tego co pamiętam, to nagrania te zrobiły na mnie spore wrażenie, głównie z powodu postępu, jaki zespół poczynił w porównaniu z pierwszą demówką. Słuchając debiutanckiego krążka duetu S / V, mam podobne odczucia. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Fer De Lance „Fires On The Mountainside”

 Fer De Lance

„Fires On The Mountainside”

Cruz Del Sur Music 2025

Fer De Lance to czwórka muzyków z Chicago, która wydaje właśnie swój drugi album. Zachwycą się nim przede wszystkim wielbiciele takich kapel jak Atlantean Kodex czy też DoomSword, ale bez problemu powinna dotrzeć także do sympatyków wikińskiego okresu Bathory. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Devs Mortvorvm „The Oldest Crypt”

 Devs Mortvorvm

„The Oldest Crypt”

Apocalyptic Prod. 2025

 


Devs Mortvorvm pochodzą z Chile. Podobno zespół istnieje już dekadę, ale najwyraźniej do najbardziej pracowitych nie należy. Bo nie dość, że wydawnictwo, które mam dziś na rozkładówce jest dopiero ich drugim, to jeszcze zawiera niemal ten sam materiał, co wydane w zeszłym roku demo o tym samym tytule. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Darkenhöld „Le Fléau Du Rocher”

 Darkenhöld

„Le Fléau Du Rocher”

Les Acteurs De L’Ombre 2025

To już niemłoda kapela, bo istnieje od 2008 roku, kiedy to tych trzech, francuskich muzyków postanowiło grać black metal. Obecnie wydają szósty album, na którym kontynuują swoje melodyjne podejście do rogacizny. Jest to jej szczególna odmiana, która powinna zadowolić fanów literatury fantasy, ponieważ zawiera w sobie spory pierwiastek bajkowości umiejscowionej historycznie w wiekach średnich. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy kawałek IRON SPELL

 

Today, Chilean heavy metallers Iron Spell premiere the new track "Sorceress" at the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) YouTube channel. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, From the Grave, set for international release on July 25th via Dying Victims Productions. Hear Iron Spell's "Sorceress" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from Santiago, Chile’s Iron Spell was founded in mid-2013 by drummer and composer Felipe Carvajal (Steelhammer), initially with the idea of ​​making a classic heavy metal album with friends, mixing the mysticism and darkness of King Diamond and Black Sabbath with hard & heavy rock from the ‘70s and ‘80s like KISS, Alice Cooper, Twisted Sister, and WA.S.P. The lack of commitment and involvement of some musicians considerably delayed the process, and what was going to be a full-length ended up being a four-song EP, Heavy Metal Witchcraft. Shortly after, the band uploaded Heavy Metal Witchcraft to social media, and the word spread fast: in a few weeks, it was released in Europe on 7" vinyl, cassette, and CD by three different labels, with Dying Victims being the first ones to believe in Iron Spell and release this recording on cassette.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Sorceress" exclusively HERE, courtesy of the NWOTHM YouTube channel. Also hear the previously revealed "Black, Hot & Heavy" exclusively HERE, courtesy of Deaf Forever magazine. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Debiut ANCIENT TORMENT w sierpniu

 


Today, Eternal Death announces August 1st as the international release date for Ancient Torment's highly anticipated debut album, Follow the Echo of Curses, on CD format, with a vinyl version to come later via Goatowarex.

From the coastal reaches of New England, Rhode Island-based Ancient Torment have emerged as a leading torchbearer in the region's black metal underground. The band formed around the core dominion established by guitarist Tormentum and drummer Zealot (both erstwhile members of Witch King) during the winter of 2016, with a handful of short-length releases in the years that followed. Taking influence from the gloomy darkness of the Finnish scene and triumphant misery of their Québécois neighbors to the north, Ancient Torment have forged their own black metal.

Of especial note is the album's recording, a symbiosis of form and content. Follow the Echo of Curseswas recorded at Distorted Forest Studio, a space of reclusive solitude in the woods of northern Rhode Island, over the early months of 2024. It was mixed by Josh Welshman (Flux Studios NYC), mastered by Dan Lowndes (Resonance Sound Studio), and artwork from David Thiérrée, with an overall production that traverses the caustic and sublime. A testament to the mysteries of true death worship, driven by nuanced aggression and drenched in cold melodies, it covers themes that span the swirling depths of depravity, suffering, and infernal release. Ancient Torment have at last arrived to reclaim bloodied ground.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Sorrow Verses" HERE at Eternal Death's Bandcamp, where the album can also be preordered. Aforementioned cover artwork and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Ancient Torment's Follow the Echo of Curses
1. Hanging from a Dead Star [6:44]
2. Spectre at the Crossroads [5:47]
3. Sorrow Verses [7:04]
4. Dejected Dreams Molested in Purgatory [5:08]

6. Rotting Temperament [9:00]

Recenzja Matraque „Nature Morte”

 Matraque

„Nature Morte”

Ashen Tree Rec. 2025

Matraque to młody zespół z Mińska. Chłopaki chyba dopiero zaczynają swoją muzyczną przygodę, choć dwóch z nich grało już uprzednio w projekcie o nazwie Rowan (ciekawe czy Atkinson).  „Nature Morte” to debiutancki krążek zawierający niecałe czterdzieści minut muzyki z gatunku sludge / death / doom. I o ile często w takim przypadku gatunki te wymieniane są trochę na wyrost, bo chętnie idą w parze jako hasło reklamowe, tak w przypadku Białorusinów faktycznie mamy tutaj wszystkiego po trochu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja EverdeaD „Re-Aninated”

 EverdeaD

„Re-Aninated”

Damned Pages Distro & Promotion 2025

Pewnie znacie już trochę tą kapelę, gdyż istnieje od 2020 roku i parę koncertów ma na swoim koncie. Jak dotychczas nagrywała swoje kawałki tylko w wersji digital, ale w końcu postanowiła zebrać je wszystkie do kupy i wydać jako debiutancki album. W skład EverdeaD wchodzi dwóch panów, pochodzących z Pomorza Zachodniego plus automat perkusyjny, który sprawnie zaprogramowany sprawił, że perkusja tylko nieznacznie wykazuje cechy maszyny cyfrowej. (Czytaj dalej...)
