Recenzja Guerra Total “Of Death's Apotheosis... Cthulhu's Call and the Terror of the Cosmic Unknown”
Guerra Total
“Of Death's Apotheosis...
Cthulhu's Call and the Terror of the Cosmic Unknown”
Mara Prod. 2025
Kto z was
zna Guerra Total? Podejrzewam, że niewielu. Też z tą nazwą spotykam się po raz
pierwszy, co potęguje mój szok, że chłopaki mają na koncie już jedenaście płyt.
Ta nowa, o przydługaśnym tytule, jest
dwunastą. A to wszystko na przestrzeni dwudziestotrzyletniej egzystencji. Czyli
regularni są jak japońskie pociągi. A co panowie grają, zapytacie? (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy numer MISERERE LUMINIS
Montreal's MISERERE LUMINIS have explored a stridently emotive and richly-layered strand of anguished Black Metal since their 2008 formation. Following their 2009 self-titled debut and 2023's acclaimed "Ordalie", the trio will release new album "Sidera" - a third tumultuous and cinematic masterwork - on March 6th.
To highlight their unique blend of dark kinetic energy and beauteous rapture, MISERERE LUMINIS now premiere a second single from "Sidera". Listen to 'Aux bras des vagues & des vomissures' directly below:
MISERERE LUMINIS are an unorthodox, atmospheric Black Metal band who hail from Montreal and are born from the minds behind GRIS and SOMBRES FORÊTS, two prime-movers in the Québécois underground Black Metal scene. The band’s eponymous debut album was released in late 2009 on Sepulchral Productions, after which the band returned to the shadows. MISERERE LUMINIS was resurrected in 2018 for the creation of acclaimed second opus, "Ordalie", which was unleashed in June 2023. Various live gigs - including an expansive Autumn 2024 tour through Europe with GIVRE - followed and demonstrated the band's move towards a more luminous presence in future.
Intense works are currently in motion on an upcoming third album which will be released by Debemur Morti Productions.
Nowy ANTRISCH w marcu
Today, AOP Records announces March 27th as the international release date for Antrisch's highly anticipated second album, Expedition III: Renitenzpfad.
Antrisch (Austro-Bavarian term for eerie or uncanny) are a blend of different styles of black metal mingled with portions of doom, djent, and dark ambient. Lyrically, Antrisch explore the inner world that is the wide range of expressions bred by the human mind and inner life as well as the outer world by treating substantially the vast landscapes and forces of nature experienced through bygone ventures to the world's most extreme sceneries. This project is a musical & lyrical expedition to the heights of the world and the depths of man.
Founded in 2020, the emotional experiences associated with that year, such as isolation, exposure, and hopeless helplessness, became deeply ingrained in Antrisch's DNA. While their debut EP, 2021's Expedition I: Dissonanzgrat, was still a semi-fictional mountain drama made up of set pieces from various historical expeditions, Antrisch's follow-up work, 2023's full-length Expedition II: Die Passage, told the complete, coherent story of Sir John Franklin's dramatic Arctic expedition.
In their third expedition, Antrisch venture further back than ever before into the dark aspects of human history: Expedition III: Renitenzpfad follows in the footsteps of the conquistador Lope de Aguirre. His participation in Pedro de Ursúa's Amazon expedition in 1560 and its calamitous outcome from the backdrop to the album.
Through seven dark stages, Antrisch draw listeners into a story of madness, violence, and excess in the midst of a hostile environment, weaving a depressing and captivating soundscape of poignant, aggressive, emotional black metal riffs, atmospheric ambient parts, and narrative passages into a dense, captivating atmosphere. Expedition III: Renitenzpfad once again celebrates the fusion of atmospheric, melodic black metal and narrative density into an intense sound experience and a lyrical journey down into the abyss of the human soul. It doesn't take a devil to make God's absence tangible.
In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Conquista" HERE at AOP Records' official YouTube channel. Current tour dates follow after the jump. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Wznowienia NAUSEA
F.O.A.D. Records proudly announces the simultaneous release of two massive archival chapters dedicated to one of Los Angeles’ most influential and uncompromising grindcore institutions: NAUSEA. Together, these releases form a comprehensive document of the band’s non-album history, spanning their earliest years through their later, more experimental and industrial-tinged phase, finally bringing their complete underground legacy into a unified and meticulously curated format.
NAUSEA – "World Struggle: Extended Edition"
Gatefold 2xLP + Bonus 7" / Double CD Digipack
This expanded and upgraded edition is a deep dive into NAUSEA’s formative years from 1987 to 1992, presenting the most complete and definitive collection of the band’s early recordings to date. With over one hour of additional material compared to the previous 2013 edition, "World Struggle: Extended Edition" stands as a brutal historical document of Los Angeles grindcore at its most raw and influential.
This era captures the band’s lethal mix of old-school grindcore, crust punk ferocity, and early death metal heaviness, with unmistakable ties to TERRORIZER’s legendary "World Downfall". In fact, a significant portion of the material that would later define that classic album originated in NAUSEA, the previous and current band of vocalist Oscar Garcia.
This collection includes:
The cult split tape with TERRORIZER (1988)
"Psychological Conflict" EP (1990)
The ultra-rare "Mind Dead" demo (1990)
"Tumor" demo (1992)
"Breed" demo (1992)
Various rehearsals from 1987–1990
The "Live Crime" tape (1991)
Spanning an overwhelming 49 tracks, this is corrosive, doomy, death metal-tinged grindcore, driven by whirlwind blast beats and the crushing, mosh-heavy riffs that helped define an entire generation of extreme music.
The vinyl edition comes as a gatefold 2xLP with a bonus 7”, featuring two rare 1987 rehearsal tracks, along with completely revamped artwork and a 16-page booklet filled with vintage flyers and fanzine excerpts. The LP version is limited to 300 copies, with 250 on black vinyl and 150 on marbled cobalt blue/grey vinyl.
The double CD edition is presented in a 6-panel deluxe digipack with a 16-page booklet.
Watch the trailer HERE.
NAUSEA – "Exile to Confinement: The Forgotten Demo Years Collection"
Gatefold 2xLP / Double CD Digipack
This release represents Chapter #2 in F.O.A.D.’s mission to reissue NAUSEA’s entire non-album discography, serving as the perfect counterpart to the earlier-era anthology. Covering the years 1998 to 2006, "Exile to Confinement: The Forgotten Demo Years Collection" gathers all of the band’s later recordings, capturing a period where their sound evolved beyond classic grindcore into darker, more abrasive and industrial-infused territory.
The collection includes the following sessions:
"One Lie" (unreleased demo, 1998)
"Self Rejection" demo
Studio rehearsal (January 13, 2002)
"Control" / "Absence of War" demos (2002)
Split 7" with UNHOLY GRAVE
"Who Would Surrender?" demo (2003)
"Images of Abuse" demo (2006)
Across 27 tracks, the anthology showcases a volatile blend of classic LA grindcore roots, crust punk hostility, death metal weight, and a distinct industrial grind edge that set this era of NAUSEA apart from their peers.
The vinyl edition comes as a deluxe gatefold 2xLP with a foldout 11”x22” insert featuring scans of the original demo artwork and releases. The LP version is limited to 300 copies, with 250 on black vinyl and 150 on marbled yellow/red vinyl.
The double CD edition is housed in a 6-panel deluxe digipack and includes a 12-page booklet packed with archival material.

Jak by
ktoś nie wiedział, to Antychryst Records jest „labelem” (celowo w cudzysłowie)
założonym przez muzyków blackmetalowego półświatka, w którym to owi panowie
puszczają swoje najobrzydliwsze dokonania. Takie, których zapewne żadna inna,

„Carving The Causeway to The Otherworld”
20 Buck Spin Records (2026)
Do tej pory nazwa Coscradh nic mi nie mówiła i
raczej budziła we mnie podśmiechujki aniżeli jakąkolwiek obojętność. Co to
kurwa jest ten Coscradh? Otóż to staroirlandzkie słowo określające bitwę
zakończoną masakrą. Po zapoznaniu się z „Carving The Causeway to The
Otherworld” śmiało mogę powiedzieć, że nazwa zespołu doskonale oddaje zawartość
muzyczną tego wydawnictwa. (Czytaj dalej...)
Kolejne zespoły na BRUTAL ASSAULT

The countdown to our meeting in the fortress is on!

SWEDISH DEATH METAL BAND ‘HELVETETS DJÄVLAR’ RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO 'TERROR’
(Watch official video on YouTube)
Death metal band HELVETETS DJÄVLAR release new music video ‘TERROR.’ As the first single for the band’s forthcoming full-length debut album, ‘TERROR’ introduces visceral imagery and raw violence the band is already known for. Fast and uncompromising, buzzsaw guitars and a murderous rhythm machine grind up riffs like mulch, matching the bloody and hopeless visuals of the video.
Sweden’s HELVETETS DJÄVLAR ('Devil's of Hell') formed in 2023 with the intent to play raw death metal, sliced and diced with melodic moments and a hefty dose of chaotic darkness. In 2024, the band released their debut EP ‘DÖD MANS GRYNING’.
While the video itself echoes carnage and horror, mixed with a little humor, the song represents the true nature and power of raw, underground death metal.
Klip od AKHLYS
"Take me below
This terror extolled
Raise me upon madness
That throne of old
Bestower of panic
Father of All-fright
Ecstatic mad furor
Clothed in midnight" ('Ephialtes')
The veil parts once again as AKHLYS premiere a new visual manifestation for the track 'Ephialtes'. Taken from 2020's abyssal masterpiece "Melinoë", this haunting piece is brought to life by artist Chthonia who amplifies the intensity, mirroring the lyrical descent into terror and a nightmarish transformation of the inner self!
Wznowienie ostatniego PLUTOCRACY
F.O.A.D. Records proudly announces the reissue of "Off the Pigs", the final studio statement from California powerviolence legends PLUTOCRACY.
Watch the trailer HERE.
Formed in 1988 in Redwood City, PLUTOCRACY remain one of the most singular and uncompromising forces ever to emerge from the West Coast underground. Their sound has always defied rigid categorization: a volatile collision of multi-layered vocals, jagged and angular riffing, neck-snapping tempo shifts, rap-inflected passages, and bursts of noise, all welded together by a relentless, top-tier grinding powerviolence backbone. Few bands have ever captured such a raw and confrontational energy while maintaining a sense of chaotic precision.
Originally recorded in 2010, "Off the Pigs" stands as the band’s last studio effort: a fierce and unfiltered document of street-level realism, anti-authoritarian conviction, and a deeply rooted unrest mentality. Upon its initial release, the record saw only a scarce and highly limited pressing, quickly becoming a sought-after item among collectors and longtime devotees of the genre. Over the years, its reputation has only grown, cementing its place as a vital chapter in PLUTOCRACY’s legacy.
Now, F.O.A.D. Records brings this landmark release back into circulation, giving a new generation of listeners the chance to experience one of powerviolence’s most distinctive and boundary-pushing statements. Standing in the same lineage as cult names like Spazz, Crom, Agents Of Satan, and No Le$$, PLUTOCRACY remain a band that cannot be neatly boxed in—singular in vision, sound, and attitude.
This reissue of "Off the Pigs" is accompanied by a very limited edition t-shirt and is strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide: 200 on classic black vinyl and 100 on blood red vinyl. Once again, this is a release aimed squarely at those who value the raw, the confrontational, and the uncompromising spirit of the underground.
