“Love is the Law but Death is the Frame”

Godz ov War 2026

W zasadzie to przestałem już czekać na nowy album Throneum. Kiedy bowiem ostatni raz rozmawiałem z Tomkiem, vel Wielkim Egze, mówił, że zespół na razie leży odłogiem. Skoncentrował się w zamian na Giants Dwarfs And Black Holes,  tworze o kompletnie innej, zupełnie nieprzemawiającej do mnie stylistyce. Aż tu nagle dnia pewnego, muzykowi trafiło się dłuższe L-4, więc zamiast siedzieć w chałupie bezczynnie, wziął się i pierdolnął materiał na „Love is the Law but Death is the Frame”. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Leper Colony

„Back to Primal Sludge”

Testimony Records 2026

Tak po prostu powinienem zacząć i zarazem zakończyć te wypociny, podając nazwisko gościa, który stoi za tym szyldem, bo to Rogga Johansson, ale jak już wpadł mi ten materiał do skrzynki, to jednak wypada coś napisać. Nie będzie tego wiele, ponieważ najnowszy krążek od Leper Colony nic nowego do szwedzkiego death metalu nie wnosi (Czytaj dalej...)

HAGEL zapowiadają nowy mini

 

On November 6th internationally, Personal Records is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Hagel, The Veil of Shadows, on CD format.

Hagel are a black-doom metal band from Monterrey, Mexico. Formed in 1995 by Carlos Velázquez (guitar), Luis Galindo (keyboards and vocals), Fernando Galindo (bass), and David Benavides (drums), the band emerged from the underground scene of northern Mexico. Between 1995 and 2000, Hagel developed an identity that fused dark melodies, dense atmospheres, and a melodic approach characteristic of '90s black metal. The band dissolved in 2000 following the departure of Luis Galindo, leaving behind songs that remained unreleased at the time.

Hagel draw influence from the atmospheric and melodic darkness of bands such as early Moonspell, Rotting Christ, Ophthalamia, Mortuary Drape, Katatonia, Empyrium, Samael, and Tiamat, blending these elements into a ritualistic and melancholic black-doom metal identity. As considerable as their critically acclaimed debut album was, the swift-yet-satisfying The Veil of Shadows crystalizes this identity with arguably the band's most powerful, poignant material to date: ancient mysticism writ large across a five-song / 21-minute canvas.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "The Withering Tongues" HERE at Personal Records' Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Hagel's The Veil of Shadows

1. The Withering Tongues [5:02]

2. Flesh Of The Gods [4:45]

3. Effluvium [4:28]

BARREN: premiera albumu "Verderf"

 

Selfmadegod Records przedstawia swoją najnowszą premierę wydawniczą – nowy album belgijskiego death/grindowego trio BARREN, Verderf. Zespół powraca z bezkompromisową porcją ekstremalnej muzyki na brutalne czasy, w której ciężar death metalu spotyka się z chaotyczną energią grindu. Krążek został wydany 25 września 2026 roku.

Verderf to płyta intensywna i bezpośrednia, pokazująca zespół w szczytowej formie. BARREN porusza się na niej pomiędzy deathmetalową ciężkością a grindcore’ową wściekłością, tworząc dźwięk równie brutalny, co dynamiczny. To bez wątpienia najbardziej agresywny i mroczny materiał w dotychczasowej dyskografii zespołu, idealnie oddając naturę otaczającej rzeczywistości skoncentrowanej na nieograniczonym konsumpcjonizmie oraz żądzy władzy.

Verderf promowany jest teledyskiem do utworu Depraved (obejrzyj tutaj) oraz singlem Blades (posłuchaj tutaj)

Split EMBRACE OF THORNS / INVOCATION końcem października

 

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces October 30th as the international release date for Invoking the Noumenon / Crushing the Feeble Messianic Embrace, a special split mini-album between Embrace of Thorns and Chile's Invocation, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.

Totaling six songs across 22 minutes, Invoking the Noumenon / Crushing the Feeble Messianic Embrace unites Greece's Embrace of Thorns and Chile's Invocation, each offering three exclusive new tracks. For nearly 30 years, Embrace of Thorns have been crafting a considerable catalog of blackened, bestial death metal of a most ancient order. With two martial, bulldozing doses of that characteristic bestiality plus a tensely hushed outro serving as a bridge between both sides, their reunification with Iron Bonehead here is also their first recorded work since 2022's towering Entropy Dynamics. Invocation's last record came in 2024, the debut album The Archaic Sanctuary (Ritual Body Postures), after years of legwork on the short-length front. As such, the Chileans still know how to reap the whirlwind when it comes to quick bursts of hammering & haunting black/death; their three tracks here are classic South American madness made manifest through sulfurous execution and sepulchral atmosphere. In short: a MANDATORY alliance!

Tracklisting for Invoking the Noumenon / Crushing the Feeble Messianic Embrace

1. Embrace of Thorns - Life-Strife-Transgression

2. Embrace of Thorns - Destroyer of all Maladies

3. Embrace of Thorns - Mundo vai acabar - Hipersublime (Outro)

4. Invocation - Altar of Unseen Prayers

5. Invocation - Impetuous

6. Invocation - The Shattered Torch

PARALICYST wypuścili EP-kę

 

Pacific Northwest Death Metal legion Paralicyst have released their debut EP, Destruction of Sanity! Drawing inspiration from titans like Obituary, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse, the band blends punishing riffs, crushing rhythms, and savage vocal assaults into a sound that feels both nostalgic and devastatingly fresh.

The new EP packages a range of styles within a traditional death metal framework. Old school and thrashing death, shades of the blackened, and slamming intensity, it's all here and it's all devastating!

Forged in the chaos of 2019, Paralicyst emerged from the PNW metal scene with a mission to channel the raw power and uncompromising spirit of classic death metal.

The band’s early formation included guitarist Ray Eversole (Cruciation, Tormentium), bassist Nik Harris ( Digitalviolence, Monday With A Bullet, In The Name of God), and drummer Greg Kholer (Gods in Graves, Cruciation, Father Figure, CIA Hippie Mind Control). In 2022 the lineup solidified with Lou of Malevolent Supremacy and Lude joining on vocals, further sharpening the band’s sonic assault.

In 2024, Mikey Murderz (Sakrificer, Innocent Blood) stepped in to take command of vocal duties, bringing a vicious new edge to the band’s sound, while also handling the recording, mixing, and mastering duties on the EP

Now operating with their strongest lineup yet, Paralicyst is poised to carve their mark into the underground with an unrelenting barrage of riffs, blast beats, and infernal energy.

Klip od CARNATION

 

Belgian death metal force CARNATION return today with their new single and video, Blackmouth, the latest track from their upcoming fourth full-length album, Symphony In Flesh, out October 16th, 2026.

Blackmouth taps directly into the core of classic Death Metal while still feeling fresh within the context of the album. It brings together heavy, driving riffs, relentless blast beats, and a strong sense of groove, striking that balance between aggression and catchiness that defines the band’s sound.

Lyrically, Blackmouth explores the impact of constant criticism and negativity, especially in today’s hyperconnected world. This negativity is personified as vultures circling and preying on weakness, reflecting the often harsh and short-sighted nature of public judgment, particularly on social media. As the song progresses, the narrative comes full circle: the one being targeted at the beginning ultimately transforms into the very thing that was hunting them. This transformation underscores the idea of a never-ending cycle of negativity, making the track both confrontational and thought-provoking.

Symphony In Flesh sees CARNATION reconnecting with the raw energy and uncompromising intensity at the core of their sound while pushing their songwriting, arrangements, and atmosphere further. The album will be released by Redefining Darkness Records in North America, with CARNATION independently releasing the album throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

CALUS wracają z nową płytą

 

South Carolina stoner metal veterans CALUS are making their long-anticipated return with The Evolution of Social Exclusion.



This six-song EP marks CALUS’ first newly recorded work since 2006’s Spiritual Warfare. And the band hasn’t missed a step. At times sludgy, at times trippy and always heavy, The Evolution of Social Exclusion delivers non-stop, bottom-heavy groove, crushing riffs and a hazy Southern swagger.



CALUS has thus far released two singles off The Evolution of Social Exclusion - “No Curses,” a more aggressive cut that pushes the band’s attack into proggier territory, and the sludge-forward stomper “Perdition Anthem.”



Stream both now on Spotify.



The Evolution of Social Exclusion is due out October 2 on digital and CD formats. Vinyl treatment for the album is coming soon.

Track listing:

1. No Curses

2. Perdition Anthem

3. Stone Snake

4. Strange Gods

5. New World Opus

6. Under the Banner(of Attrition)



To mark their re-emergence, CALUS has recently pulled a batch of previously unreleased tunes from their vault. The EP, titled Australis Sacro Modus, is streaming here.

„Polemos Pater Panton”

Caverna Abismal Rec. 2026

Imperathron pochodzą z Chile, i działają od lat sześciu. Czyli w zasadzie świeżynka, zwłaszcza biorąc pod uwagę, że nagrali se dotychczas tylko taśmę demo oraz EP-kę. Tu oczywiście wielkie propsy ode mnie, wiadomo za co. Chwilę temu portugalska Caverna Abismal Records wydała im debiutancki krążek, a jako iż, domniemuję, mało kto nazwę zespołu kojarzy, no chyba że najbardziej zatwardziali przeszukiwacze podziemia, w trzech zdaniach opowiem wam, niczym bajarka, co to za twór. (Czytaj dalej...)

Zapowiedź splitu NEKUS / BLOODSOAKED NECROVOID

 

On October 16th internationally, Caligari Records and Seed of Doom Records will release Funerary Rites of Ancient Doom, a special split album between Nekus and Bloodsoaked Necrovoid, on vinyl LP format.

A dream team-up between two of sepulchral death metal's mightiest hordes, Funerary Rites of Ancient Doom brings together Germany's Nekus and transplanted Costa Ricans Bloodsoaked Necrovoid for four tracks and 36 minutes of exclusive material. Nekus are up first with a MAMMOTH 19-minute track. While it's their only song here, "Dakhma" boils the blood and then sluices it into a viscous pit of despair, effortlessly shifting from bestial gnashing & grinding and desolate, funereal trudge. To say that Nekus continue their characteristic application of the avant-garde to total caveman constructions is an understatement here.

Not to be outdone, Bloodsoaked Necrovoid occupy Side B of the LP with three brand-new tracks. The band have recently relocated to Spain, and while their releases since 2020's Expelled Into the Unknown Depths of the Unfathomable debut album have been of the shorter variety, they more than compensate with cavernous quality. An eerie intro sets the tone before two expulsions of Bloodsoaked Necrovoid's suffocating sound. Also characteristically, those sounds are more like slow-motion grind than proper doom-death, and become even more unsettling when they kick into their own bestial pulses. That there's even more atmosphere than ever makes their alchemy all the more alluring... Truly, these are Funerary Rites of Ancient Doom!

Tracklisting for Funerary Rites of Ancient Doom

1. Nekus - Dakhma [19:09]

2. Bloodsoaked Necrovoid - Intro [2:21]

3. Bloodsoaked Necrovoid - The Unreachable Exaltation of Consumption [5:19]

4. Bloodsoaked Necrovoid - A Respite From the Swallowing of Existence [8:49]
