„Meltification”

Extremely Rotten Prod. 2026

Meltification to świeży twór, powołany do życia przez weterana sceny kopenhaskiej, niejakiego Tue Sprogø, który dotychczas działał raczej w stylistyce hard core’owej. O tym jednak, że hard core i grind dobrze się przegryzają, i niejednokrotnie idą w parze, wiemy przecież nie od wczoraj. Pod nową nazwą ów pan pozwolił zatem sobie na romans z tym drugim gatunkiem, czego wynikiem jest właśnie ten samozatytułowany debiut. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy numer INTO DARKNESS

 

Today, Italian death metallers Into Darkness premiere the new track "Saturn" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's long-awaited debut album, Route to the Other Side, set for international release on July 24th via Dying Victims Productions. Hear Into Darkness' "Saturn" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Italy's Into Darkness have been a work in progress since their formation in 2011. Led by vocalist / guitarist Doomed Warrior from the very beginning, the band released a handful of demos, a couple splits, and a couple EPs during their first decade of existence. While all short-lengths, they certainly did not lack in quality. As time (and lineups) went on, Into Darkness’ primary influences – equally early Asphyx and Soulburn, Pentacle, Sinister, Gorefest, Dead Head, Phlebotomized, Acrostichon, and Thanatos among others – came more sharply into focus, aligning reverently within old-school Dutch death metal in style but with a unique lyrical focus: divulgative astronomy. Not astrology, not sci-fi, no Lovecraft – only and specifically divulgative astronomy, maybe poetically but definitely realistically.

Now, at long last, Into Darkness are prepared to unleash their debut album. Tellingly titled Route to the Outer Side, the Italians’ first full-length is a concept record about the outer solar system, which still considers Pluto as a planet and also includes Halley’s Comet. As a power-trio, they unload a twisted, hulking mass of DEATH METAL – dark, doomed, but not without a special spark of astral atmosphere. Mind you, Into Darkness still don’t do “sci-fi” or “spacey” death metal; rather, the sweeping songwriting that overtakes the listener with an energetic-yet-patient pace spells out in subtler terms the band’s lyrical conceits. Put another way, they show you rather than tell you about the vast, ominous majesty of space, leaving behind cliché sonic signifiers in favor of timeless death metal songcraft. Nevertheless, the trio possess prodigious chops, and are unafraid to often put them in service of the song – but when framed within the album’s powerful & professional production, it all feels exceptionally organic and far from flashy.

A creative, passionate vision that’s bloomed beyond their trademark tribute to classic Dutch death metal, Into Darkness have finally arrived. Prepare for the Route to the Other Side!

„Death”

Fluttering Dragon 2026

Lifeless Gaze został powołany do życia dziewięć lat temu. Jeszcze jako duet, panowie zarejestrowali dwa duże albumy oraz materiał live. Potem jednak ich drogi się rozeszły, a u steru pozostał jedynie N, człowiek, o którym powiedzieć, że z niejednego pieca jadł, to jak nie powiedzieć nic. Muzyk, producent, facet od wszystkiego. „Death” jest zatem jego solowym dziełem, i słowa „dziełem” w tym przypadku używam z pełną świadomością. Nie jest to bowiem zwyczajna muzyka. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Echa krwi”

Pagan Records 2026

Powstały w 2013 roku, wrocławski Azels Mountain pod koniec czerwca powróci ze swoją trzecią płytą. Tym razem wyda ją Pagan Records, a znajdziecie na niej, oprócz introsa, dziewięć numerów, które są oczywiście utrzymane w black metalowym tonie. To rzecz jasna tradycyjna diabelszczyzna, oparta o wzorce lat dziewięćdziesiątych z pokaźnym pierwiastkiem naszych rodzimych naleciałości, które to połączenie już chyba bardzo dawno zdefiniowało polskie, czarcie granie. (Czytaj dalej...)

ARCKANUM zapowiadają EP-kę

 

Today, Darkness Shall Rise Productions announces July 20th as the international release date for a brand-new EP from Arckanum, Motestandarin, on 7" vinyl format. Digital release date shall be June 22nd, when preorders for the 7" vinyl begin.

Motestandarin features two songs from the forthcoming 10th studio album of legendary Swedish black metal entity Arckanum.

Beswærilsin (to be released in October 2026) and its precursor EP Motestandarin mark the beginning of Arckanum’s third phase—an initiation emerging from a deeper stratum of the Thursian current. This is neither a return nor a repetition, but a manifestation forged through decades of spiritual workings, experience, and endurance. Across eleven ritualistic compositions on the upcoming album, the past is not revisited through nostalgia, but reawakened as a living anti-cosmic force.

The Motestandarin EP is, next to digital and streaming, also available as a strictly limited 7" vinyl edition, restricted to 218 hand-numbered copies (only available in the DSR webshop).

Founded in 1992, Arckanum stands among the oldest and most revered names in Swedish black metal. Created and led solely by Shamaatae, the project has released nine full-length albums and numerous EPs throughout its more-than-three-decade history.

Beswærilsin will be Arckanum’s first full-length album in nine years. Furthermore, two additional albums have already been written and are scheduled for release in the coming years through Darkness Shall Rise. Cover and tracklisting for the EP are as follows:

Tracklisting for Arckanum's Motestandarin
