Recenzja Fournier „Fournier”

 Fournier

„Fournier”

Caligari Rec. 2026

Ciekaw jestem, ile z was potrafiłoby odczytać nazwę zespołu, gdybym wrzucił tu jedynie okładkę, bez podpisu. Ja bym pewnie poległ już na pierwszej literce. To jednak nie jedyna zagadka. Z tego, co można wyczytać w Encyklopedii, w zespole figuruje człowiek, niejaki Lepper (ale nie Andrzej, tylko Jef, tak, przez jedno „f”), który obsługuje bas oraz perkusję, choć zgaduję, że nie jednocześnie, oraz pan Quintin, który… chuj wie, co w zespole robi. (Czytaj dalej...)

Singiel TEMPLE OV AHRIMAN

 


Today, American black metallers Temple ov Ahriman premiere the new track "White Death" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Heretics of Consensual Reality, set for international self-release on June 26th. Hear Temple ov Ahriman's "White Death" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Temple ov Ahriman is a one-man black metal band hailing from Austin, Texas. Conceived during the Covid-19 pandemic, TAO is the culmination of several years of intense songwriting activity. Mainman and mastermind Thornicator states, "Years ago, my other band was to record an album, but our studio time was delayed due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Never one to sit idle for too long, I took the opportunity to write music for a follow-up release. What followed was a prolific period unlike anything I'd experienced before or since, and it quickly became apparent that I perhaps had too much material for just one band to learn and record. With the encouragement of a few good friends, I eventually decided to start my own spin-off project and thus Temple ov Ahriman was born."

TAO is slated to make their mark this summer with the release of their debut full-length. Clocking in at a little over 42 minutes, Heretics of Consensual Reality is a tour de force that is guaranteed to take the listener on a journey. "It was a little Hell seeing this project through to completion," Thornicator states. "Several years, thousands of dollars, and three studios later, I finally have a master recording that I feel does the material justice. It was my unwavering belief in the material that pushed me to continue despite innumerable setbacks."

Combining elements of second-wave black metal, contemporary Finnish black metal, and D-beat, Temple ov Ahriman is poised to take the underground by storm.

Recenzja Louder „Devil's Night”

 Louder

„Devil's Night”

Fighter Rec. 2026

Był już jakiś Venom z Kolumbii? Nie? No to już jest. Oczywiście upraszczam, choć po włączeniu tej płyty od razu skojarzenia miałem jednoznaczne. No ale po kolei. Panowie z Madellin po raz pierwszy zaznaczyli swoją obecność na scenie za sprawą wydanej rok temu demówki „Raw-Hell-Sal at Devil’s Crypt”, co wyraźnie sugeruje, iż były to nagrania z próby, na setkę. (Czytaj dalej...)

RUYNED prezentują numer z nowej płyty

 

Today, blackthrashing speed metallers Ruyned reveal the new track "Profanum Sacrificium." The track is the first to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, Profanum Sacrificium, set for international release on June 26th via Osmose Productions. Hear Ruyned's title track "Profanum Sacrificium" in its entirety HERE at Osmose's official YouTube channel.

Forged in the underground of Romania, Ruyned unleash their most ferocious and unrelenting material, Profanum Sacrificium, a blasphemous speed metal assault infused with elements of black, thrash, and heavy metal.

The intro sets the calm before the storm. From the ripping assault of "Speedchain" to the depraved madness of "Sex'N Speed" and "Sex Commander 666," going through the sinister tale of "Vampire of Düsseldorf inspired by Peter Kürten, Ruyned channel raw violence and decadence in its purest form. From "Daemonium Ritualis" onward, the record descends into a dark conceptual journey through the European witch hunts of the 15th–17th centuries. Through "Profanum Sacrificium," "Malleus Maleficarum," and "Witches Gallöw," the band conjures a world of fire, mysticism, and ritual death. The closing outro retells this tale as a melody sung by a bard at a royal banquet.

Fast. Raw. Rabid. Merciless. Total speed metal violence.

Jeszcze jeden z numer z nowego HORRIFIER

 

Today, Norwegian death metallers Horrifier reveal the new track "The Ingestion." The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, Revelations of Gore, set for international release on August 7th via Personal Records. Hear Horrifier's "The Ingestion" in its entirety HERE at Personal Records' Bandcamp.

Hailing from Norway, Horrifier have been vomiting pure, old-school brutality straight from the underground since 2022. Drawing inspiration from the legendary death metal bands of the late '80s and early '90s, the quartet channel the rotting sounds of Autopsy, the gnarly filth of Entombed, and the feral aggression of Repulsion.

Released in 2023 by Personal, Horrifier's celebrated debut album, Horrid Resurrection, delivered uncompromising DEATH METAL built on crushing riffs, relentless drumming, and cavernous vocals that sound dragged up from the depths of the grave. No polish, no trends, and no modern gloss; only the raw stench of death metal the way it was meant to be: primitive, violent, and merciless. Horrifier's sound here was putrid, aggressive, and relentlessly primitive, a putrid homage to the genre’s most savage roots.

Now, the Norwegians return with their second full-length, Revelations of Gore: a concept record steeped in death, desperation, and ritual slaughter. Horrifier's second album follows a dying man who, standing at the edge of his final breath, encounters a monstrous entity offering him eternal life - but immortality demands a price… Driven by the fear of death, the man begins feeding the creature with human sacrifices in exchange for more time among the living. What starts as desperation slowly turns into obsession, as the line between survival and damnation fades beneath a growing pile of corpses.

Suitably, Horrifier musically illustrate this desperation & dementia with deft moves between relentless violence and suffocating darkness. Whilst retaining the band's core sound, Revelations of Gore sees bludgeoning riffs and savage tempos colliding with slower, ominous passages that build a heavy atmosphere of dread and decay, mirroring the protagonist’s descent into madness. The production is predictably crushing and richly organic, staying true to the original ethos of the Metal of Death: No gimmicks. No mercy. Only DEATH.

AZELS MOUNTAIN wydadzą tzreci album dla Pagan Records

 


Azels Mountain, the Polish black metal project formed in 2013, has signed with Pagan Records for a June release of their third album entitled “Echa Krwi”.

On this new album, Azels Mountain continues its descent into darker and more reflective territories, channelling themes of memory, blood, sacrifice and transcendence through a colder, more expansive musical expression shaped by both mystic reflection and the lingering shadows of more recent historical experience.

Compared to previous releases, “Echa Krwi” is a more mature and culturally rooted vision. Beyond the foundations of underground black metal, the album draws inspiration from classical Polish music, literature and the spiritual atmosphere woven through the nation’s artistic heritage. Echoes of melancholy, longing, pride, and existential struggle permeate the compositions, giving the record a distinctly Polish character. The result is an album that channels the spirit of forgotten landscapes, ancestral memory, and the restless soul embedded within Polish culture itself, transforming “Echa Krwi” into something both deeply personal and timeless.

Sirkis completed the artwork for the new album, while Zaćma Visual Studio handled photography. Renowned designer Christophe Szpajdel crafted the band’s refreshed logo. On the production front, the material was recorded at M23 Studio, with mixing and mastering duties executed by Satanic Audio.

Further information and pre-order details to be revealed shortly.

EP-ka PVRGATORII do sprawdzenia

 


Invisible Oranges is hosting the exclusive premiere of the new EP by Spanish black-death metal punks PVRGATORII, titled “Profane Rites For Cursed Times”, ahead of its release on May 29, 2026 via Night Terrors Records. The release marks a new step in the band’s evolution and will arrive as a strictly limited 100-copy edition on one-sided 12” black vinyl, complete with OBI strip, insert and an extensive 16-page fanzine entirely dedicated to the project.

The EP further refines PVRGATORII’s self-defined “Black Metal ov Death” approach, blending raw black metal ferocity, punk urgency and abrasive noise into a sound that remains tense, hostile and uncompromising. Far from stylistic compromise or modern fusion trends, the band continues to pursue a harsh, atmospheric vision rooted in extremity and shaped by their connection to the Barcelona underground.

Stream “Profane Rites For Cursed Times” at THIS LOCATION.

Recenzja Soulburn „Quantifying Cosmic Doom”

 Soulburn

„Quantifying Cosmic Doom”

Testimony Rec. 2026

Kiedy w latach dziewięćdziesiątych rozpadł się Asphyx, Century Media dumnie ogłosiła, że oto pojawił się (oczywiście pod ich skrzydłami) godny następca. Debiut Soulburn został faktycznie nagrany przez trzech byłych Asphyxowiczów, i tak po prawdzie zły nie był. Jednak nie na tyle dobry, bym późniejszą karierę Holendrów śledził z zapartym tchem. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Lorn „Searing Blood”

 Lorn

„Searing Blood”

I, Voidhanger Records 2026

Ten włoski, solowy projekt, za którym stoi niejaki Radok, muzykuje już parę lat, bo od 1999 roku. Przez te prawie trzy dekady nie uzbierał jednak zbyt dużo nagrań, ponieważ pomijając kilka splitów, demosa i epkę, to „Searing Blood” jest dopiero czwartym, dużym krążkiem Lorn. No nic. Najnowsze jego dzieło to sześć numerów wyrzeźbionych w black metalowej materii, które po części brzmią dość znajomo. (Czytaj dalej...)
