“Blood Must Be Shed to Enchant Your Head”

Godz ov War 2026

Ja pierdolę, litości! Wierzcie mi, podchodziłem do tego wydawnictwa nawet z pewnymi nadziejami. Bo oto laski zabrały się za granie czegoś, co wydawca, jak by nie patrzeć, wielce przeze mnie szanowany, określa jako „Black Raw’n’Roll”. Przyznacie, że dziwny to szyld. Tym bardziej byłem ciekaw, cóż to takiego, bo ja „raw” to jak najbardziej, a „roll” ostatnimi czasy nawet mocniej. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Disaster Triumphant”

AOP Records 2026

Jakoś wcześniej nie było okazji, żeby się zapoznać z twórczością tego solowego projektu z Monachium, za którym stoi niejaki Nathanael. Gość muzykuje już sobie od 2008 roku i niebawem, bo już w listopadzie wyda swój piąty krążek. To co on zawiera, to post-black metal, który mocno zalatuje mi ostatnio dość modnym gatunkiem, a chodzi mi mianowicie o blackgaze. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy numer URARV

 

Today, Norwegian black metallers Urarv reveal the new track "Operation Genocide." The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated third album, Nychta Psychis, set for international release on October 16th via Darkness Shall Rise Productions.

"Operation Genocide" depicts the madness born of human greed and the inevitable wars that result from it. It also gives special prominence to the horrors that took place at Wounded Knee in 1890 and pays tribute to the memory of Crazy Horse. Hear Urarv's "Operation Genocide" in its entirety HERE at Darkness Shall Rise's official YouTube channel.

Zapowiedź drugiego krążka BLASPHEMANIAC

 

On November 25th internationally, Adirondack Black Mass is proud to present Blasphemaniac's highly anticipated second album, Ataque Diabólico a Sacralidade Brasileira, on CD format.

Keeping the wounds in the flesh of deep-rooted Christianity painful and wide open, poisoning blackened souls and crushing posers for more than ten years, Blasphemaniac return to fuck you with Ataque Diabólico a Sacralidade Brasileira, their first full-length since 2021 following countless splits and singles. Unclean and unsafe, Blasphemaniac are devoted to Satanic fanaticism and resurrect the radical, blasphemous, and pornographic primitivism of the '90s, with a sound inspired by the obscure classics of the '80s. Such can be felt, in full fucking force, with their second album: carrying all the wickedness and savagery of the tropics in its veins, bringing together black, death, thrash, and speed metals with total unconcern for the listener's comfort, where the rudimentary violence of Vulcano and Sarcófago meets the speed and fury of Sodom and Kreator, all blessed by the Infernal Trinity of Venom, Hellhammer, and Bathory.

However, Ataque Diabólico a Sacralidade Brasileira is not merely a repurposing of other, older bands' glories; rather, it is a reinvigoration and violent ransacking of ancient values, obsessed with the rawness of analog recordings and all the physicality surrounding the essence of underground metal. Blasphemaniac want you to FEEL this - and to feel the danger, filth, and profaneness of the fullness of their coming. Always purging the presence of contemporary sterility and its algorithmic logic, seeking a narcotic and shameless impurity in its tones and verses, these Brazilians know no half-measures here, blending lyrics in English and Portuguese throughout the repertoire. Their verses go beyond the name they carry, also speaking of black magic, occultism, and necromancy, all of this from a profoundly South American perspective, bringing syncretic elements from the cultures that shaped these lands and resisted in order to preserve them.

Those ancestors who died venerating only their own "devils," fed with sacrificial blood as archetypes of Lucifer. No "biblical Devil." No Hollywood little vampires.

No fun.

No trends.

No algorithm whores.

No cheap nostalgia.

No scene.

Only undomesticated METAL, in its most extreme, infamous, and hostile form.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Odioso Manifesto Anti o Monumentalismo Sacro abraâmico" HERE at Adirondack Black Mass' Bandcamp, where the album can also be preordered. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Nowy SATANIC WARMASTER w listopadzie

 

Today, Werewolf Records announces November 13th as the international release date for Satanic Warmaster's highly anticipated eighth album, Drachenkreuz, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Satanic Warmaster needs no introduction. Since the band's formation in 1998, founder Werwolf has prolifically - and provocatively - stoked fires that refuse to be quenched. A totally independent artist in all aspects, Satanic Warmaster has sold hundreds of thousands of albums internationally and played stages all across the world, from north to south and east to west. The band's black metal is devoutly traditional but eternally fruitful, standing as an immovable monument to the purest and proudest foundations of the artform. As such, Satanic Warmaster is hated and loved with equally strong passion, with those naysayers only feeding that fire with falsehoods and gross misconceptions. There is no middle ground: no apologies, and no surrender.

As has been sagely sung in the past, in times of strife, Satanic Warmaster returns. Enter Drachenkreuz, the band's eighth full-length to date. While 2024's Exultation of Cruelty was a concerted strive for older and more primitive pastures, Drachenkreuz functions as something of a companion album to 2022's majestic Aamongandr. In fact, the roots of Drachenkreuz were recorded during the Aamongandr sessions, with the idea to record two albums at once, but Werwolf finalized Drachenkreuz later and with a different approach. Mind you, Drachenkreuz is still Satanic Warmaster and immediately so - rippling second-wave melodicism shot through with tragedy and triumph, antagonism and aristocracy - but its similarly varied songcraft conveys a much-larger headspace than is usually customary for stridently rigid parameters. As such, one will find a splendorous panorama spanning paradigmatic Norsecore to proto-bestiality and various points in between: effectively, not unlike modern classic Carelian Satanist Madness but with an even-wider spectrum.

That Drachenkreuz's soundfield remains so authentically dungeonic and yet richly detailed and almost sparkling underlines the alchemical magick this record so uniquely possesses. And as the album moves from one song to the next, each one as distinct as the last, a sense of world-building is established: indeed "Nosferatu's Land," with Werwolf surveying the rotten-yet-regal landscape from the highest tower. Spot the heroic guitar solos on stage-setting opener "Rex Typhonis" and hulking title track "The Dragon's Cross" as well as the warlusting backing vocals on the barbaric combo of "Infernal Armageddon" and "Christrape," and disparate threads of experience are sewn together with that same alchemy. Let the "Winds of Eternal War" blow!

In the meantime, hear a virtual advance tape of the album HERE at Werewolf Records' official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover artwork, courtesy of Jarkko Koponen, and tracklisting are as follows:

EYES OF AGONY szykują debiut dla AWAKENING RECORDS

 

Today, Awakening Records announces the signing of Eyes of Agony. The first fruit of this union will be the band’s debut album, When They Return, which will see international release later this year.

An Italian studio-based death metal quintet, Eyes of Agony combine a traditional OSDM sonority with a modern aesthetic on their full-length debut, When They Return. The project features mastermind / guitarist Danny Cinicolo (Excidium, Maleficarum), vocalist Andrea Zanetti (Iconoclast, Maleficarum), drummer Davide Billia (Beheaded, Hour Of Penance), guitarist Massimo Boffa (Mind Control, Halley), and bassist Fabrizio “Jesus” Biondi (Mechanical God Creation, Art Of Silence).

Inspired by top-notch extreme metal bands such as Immolation, Nile, At the Gates, Cannibal Corpse, and Death, the album’s nine blistering tracks are decorated with melodic guitar harmonies, dramatic guitar solos, razor-sharp riffs, and a dominant rhythm section, which are all beautifully combined with horrific guttural growls. Mixed and mastered by Luca Nicolucci at Comet Broadcasting Studio, When They Return possesses a clear-yet-gritty tone with a diverse death metal aesthetic.

Guitarist Danny Cinicolo spoke about the album’s writing process: "The first writing of the songs were made many years ago after a long period of silence with my personal writing in Excidium and Maleficarum. After a long time of compositions, I finished all the tracks and searched for the right musicians for this band. Of course, I started from my old vocalist in Maleficarum, Andrea Zanetti, and together we decided to complete the lineup and record the debut album."

On signing with Awakening Records, "I am so happy that I contacted Awakening Records when I was promoting our EPK with the album streaming," Cinicolo enthuses. "[Label owner] Li Meng is a really great person, and I was very fortunate to get in touch with him. He told me that he really listened to the album a lot of times and that he was very impressed with the quality. So, he offered us a deal to be a part of Awakening Records, and we accepted because his label is killer!"

Release date, cover, tracklisting, and first track to be revealed shortly.

Chwilę temu swoją premierę miał trzeci album słowackiego Krolok. Zapewne większość z was ten twór kojarzy, tym bardziej, że udzielający się w nim muzycy powiązani są personalnie z nie mniej znanym Malokarpatan. A i sam Krolok dał się do tej pory poznać z niezwykle konsekwentnej postawy hołdowania starej szkole black metalu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Przypominamy o polskiej dacie w ramach Funerary Rites Over Europe

 

Singiel NervoChaos

 

For the first time in their 30-year career, Brazilian death metal group NervoChaos delivers a song performed entirely in Portuguese, bringing the full weight and identity of the band into their native tongue. Titled “Lorde dos Mortos,” the song serves as the second preview from their fourteenth album, Chaosmongers, set for release on 13 November 2026 via Black Lion Records on 13 November 2026 on CD and vinyl as well as digitally; while Tumba Records licenses the CD and vinyl editions for Brazil.

Drawing on chaos as its central creative force, the album contains twelve tracks, eleven of which are new, alongside “Porcos Sanguinários,” a tribute to the legendary Brazilian band Ratos de Porão. Chaosmongers is a work that connects the cosmos, the occult, and human resilience, and is open to various interpretations, rejecting linear narratives and allowing listeners to create their own reading. At its core, an entity traverses death, explores unknown realms, faces suffering, and becomes sovereign of a kingdom beyond our understanding. This narrative reflects a personal journey through downfall, self-discovery, transformation, and empowerment. This duality is present throughout the album. The compositions act as narrative, atmosphere, and reflection, providing diverse experiences within a single work. Chaos appears not only as destruction but as a force capable of breaking boundaries and creating new realities.

The music video for “Lorde dos Mortos” was produced and scripted by Brazilian horror filmmaker Rodrigo Aragão, carrying the spirit of Brazil’s legendary horror tradition into the world of NervoChaos.

NervoChaos says: “‘Lorde dos Mortos’ tells the story of a fantastical sovereign from the realm of the dead — an entity capable of bringing back those who are no longer among the living. Brazilian extreme metal meets Brazilian horror cinema!”

Watch the music video for “Lorde dos Mortos” below, and find the track on digital/streaming platforms HERE.

Świat lubi zaskakiwać nieznanymi dotąd kapelami, choć już trochę one istnieją, ale jakoś nie mogą wpaść w twoje łapy. Tym razem niespodzianka przyleciała z Belgii w postaci Barren, który jest tercetem i chyba najbardziej lubi pojawiać się na splitach, bo ma ich kilka w swojej kolekcji, co w stosunku do reszty ich dyskografii stanowi dominującą formę wydawniczą. (Czytaj dalej...)

Klip od AZARATH

 

Poland's leading underground death/black metal force AZARATH reveals “Herald of the Unseen” - the first single & music video from its forthcoming studio album, “Scorn Eternal”, set for release on November 20th via Agonia Records.

"Scorn Eternal" conjures a cataclysm of sinister blast beats and possessed riffs, shattering dogma in a blistering onslaught of sacrilegious death metal. Unyielding, malicious, and executed with surgical precision, the band continues to fuel the black flame with their line-up intact & fit for sonic carnage: drummer Inferno (from the ranks of Behemoth), guitarist Bart (Armageddon, Damnation), bassist Peter (ex-Lost Soul) and vocalist Skullripper (Embrional, Hellfuck). This time, the album is enriched with an epic feel and new elements that were not present in earlier recordings.

AZARATH crept from the shadows over two decades ago and stands as a pillar of uncompromising Polish death metal, often touted as a demonic mutation of Krisiun and Immolation. The band has spent seven acclaimed albums - most recently 2020’s “Saint Desecration” - decimating stages across Europe and building a ferocious reputation for relentless, blasphemous brutality.

Klip od IONS

 

Slovak Progressive Metallers IONS have released the official video for new single, "Entropy of Me," via Willowtip Records. The track features new vocalist Daniel Handak and is available on all streaming platforms.

Handak adds that, "'Entropy of Me' tries to capture inner dialogue with our overthinking brain, and the slow acceptance that sometimes it can trap us with guilt and unfounded fears. I often try to remind myself not to believe everything that I come across in my brain, and this song is one more reminder for myself and hopefully for others as well."

Reflecting on his experience as a new member recording a new single, Handak went on to say that, "while working on this song, I felt a bit paralyzed at first, since this was supposed to be the first song with the new lineup. I wanted it to be good, as you can imagine. But only once I finally let go of this fear that I wouldn't be able to fulfill some expectations, did we come up with some great lines and finish the song. I’m very happy with how it turned out and super excited to hear what you guys think about it."
