„Strąceni w Ciemność”

Godz ov War 2026

Jak dobrze patrzę, to Garota gościła na naszych łamach już cztery razy (nie licząc relacji z ich bardzo dobrego koncertu w Bydgoszczy w ramach The Last Words of Death). Z różnych zresztą perspektyw, bo pisał o nich i ex-członek Hatzamoth, i shub niggurath, a nawet i ja coś wspomniałem. No to teraz znów ja, cały na biało. „Strąceni w Ciemność” to nowa EP-ka zespołu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Profeci „Troska”

 Profeci

„Troska”

Godz ov War Productions 2026

To już czwarta produkcja od Profeci, a moje pierwsze (poza koncertem na The Last Words of Death #10) z tą kapelą spotkanie. Wszyscy zapewne dobrze znają krajową scenę o diabelskiej proweniencji, zatem nie ma sensu przytaczać rysu tych czterech Poznaniaków. Cóż można napisać o „Trosce”. Po pierwsze to, że jeśli podobały się komuś ich poprzednie albumy, to z pewnością polubi najnowszy krążek. (Czytaj dalej...)

Debiut WORM ALTAR w przyszłym miesiącu

 

Portland, Maine death metal outfit WORM ALTAR will release their debut full-length album, "Pillars of Eternal Dusk", on October 16th, 2026 via Dawnbreed Records and Gurgling Gore on LP and CD formats, limited to 300 and 400 copies, respectively. The cassette edition will be released as a co-release between Gurgling Gore and Contemn Light, featuring two limited label-exclusive shell color variants.

The first single “Watchers of the Gate” is streaming HERE.

There is something genuinely repulsive about the sound of WORM ALTAR. Crude, abrasive and seemingly dragged out of some damp, lightless corner of the underground, "Pillars of Eternal Dusk" refuses to polish away the rough edges that give its death metal such an unsettling presence. Yet beneath the layer of grime, the album reveals itself to be far more carefully constructed than its initial assault might suggest.

Great riffs emerge from the murk, memorable enough to stick in the head long after the noise has subsided. Subtle melodic details and understated atmospheric touches lurk beneath the surface, adding depth without ever compromising the album's oppressive character. The rawness is therefore not an end in itself: it is the most appropriate vehicle for music that aims to feel uneasy, crawling and fundamentally diseased.

Drawing inspiration from Gorement, Phrenelith, Disembowelment, Coffins, Mortiferum, Grave Upheaval and Black Sabbath, WORM ALTAR operate in that particularly fertile territory where death metal becomes less a display of brute force than an exercise in atmosphere, physicality and dread.

Tracklist:

01. Under the Shadow of Night...

02. Splaying the Offal

03. Watchers of the Gate

04. Virescent Fire

05. The Blind One

06. Dusk Eternal

GATES OF ISHTAR wracają z nowym albumem

 

Long-awaited studio album scheduled for release on 21 January 2027 via The Circle Music

Pre-orders now open for limited leather box sets, gatefold vinyl editions, CDs, cassettes and merch

Luleå, Sweden & Athens, Greece; 4 September 2026: Swedish death metal legends Gates of Ishtar have unveiled further information about their long-awaited studio comeback. “Murder the Light” will be the band’s fourth studio album and their first in 29 years. It will be released on 21 January 2027 via The Circle Music, with pre-orders open now.

Founded in Luleå, Sweden, Gates of Ishtar created a strong cult fan base through iconic albums such as “A Bloodred Path” and “At Dusk and Forever”. The band came back into action towards the end of 2023 for a special live gig. They returned to their old creative groove, performing at festivals, which in turn resulted in the album “Murder the Light”. The recording process started at the Humbucker Studios in Hagsätra, Sweden, in May 2026, where the band recorded the drum and bass parts. Guitars and vocal parts were recorded in the next two months, June and July, at Fallen Studios. The producer, Robert Pehrson, mixed and mastered the album at Humbucker Studios in August 2026.

"Murder the Light" Tracklisting:

1. In Fires Forged

2. Ghosts

3. Murder the Light

4. Mother North

5. Let Go of My Burden

6. Dawn of Time

7. Nevermore

8. Still Life

"Chrysopoeia," the album's first single, is available now at:

Alchestronomy will be released November 13 on digipak CD, limited edition longbox CD, vinyl gatefold LP and digital formats via Willowtip Records.

Nowy numer ISKALD

 

Norwegian melodic black metal veterans ISKALD have finally released “The Other Realm”, the first and only single from their highly anticipated sixth full-length album, “Curse of the Mind”, due out on September 25th, 2026 via Dusktone.

After two teasers offering fragmented glimpses into the record, “The Other Realm” opens the door to the album's first chapter in full. Vast, cold and deeply atmospheric, the track combines ISKALD's characteristic melodic black metal with a more imposing and immersive approach, moving between driving passages and expansive sections where melody and atmosphere take centre stage. It is the first complete piece from “Curse of the Mind” and provides a decisive introduction to the psychological descent at the heart of the album.

Recenzja Wyrdstæf „Primordial Bloodlines”

 Wyrdstæf

„Primordial Bloodlines”

Apocalyptic Witchcraft 2026

Wyrdstæf, to już ze względu na sam koncept zespół oryginalny. Panowie postanowili bowiem wziąć na warsztat epokę paleolitu i mezolitu, pod kątem życia naszych przodków, przemierzających świat lodu i cudów natury w owych nieskażonych, ale bezlitosnych warunkach. Jak się zatem domyślacie, nie jest to typowy black, czy też death metal. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Faustian „Parable of the Sewer”

 Faustian

„Parable of the Sewer”

Apocalyptic Witchcraft Rec. 2026

Faustian pochodzi z Australii, a mały debiut ma już za sobą, bo trzy lata temu wyszła ich epka „We Come as Angels”. W lipcu ukazał się ich pierwszy długograj, który niesie ze sobą osiem numerów, utrzymanych w black metalowym tonie. To diabelszczyzna w wyrazistym wydaniu, która zalewa nas agresywnymi blastami, atmosferycznymi zwolnieniami, a i trochę nowoczesności w postaci dysonansów również tutaj można znaleźć. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowa EP-ka PRALAYA

GODSLUT: premiera "The Art Of Deconstruction"

 

Selfmadegod Records prezentuje najnowszy album deathmetalowego GODSLUT The Art Of Deconstruction. Płyta ukazuje się po trzyletniej przerwie wydawniczej i będzie nie lada zaskoczeniem dla słuchaczy i fanów debiutanckiego Procreation Of God. Szczegóły dotyczące premiery poniżej.

GODSLUT od 2021 roku tworzy bezkompromisowy, techniczny thrash/death metal. W 2022 zespół podpisał kontrakt płytowy z wytwórnią Selfmadegod Records, a w maju 2023 roku wypuścił na świat debiutancki album Procreation Of God, na który bębny nagrał legendarny wręcz Paweł “Pavulon” Jaroszewicz (Hate, Decapitated, Antigama, Vltimas, Chivas i wiele więcej). Materiał prezentuje techniczny i bezkompromisowy death metal z wpływami thrash i groove metalu. Płyta została nagrana w 2022 roku, a za miks i mastering odpowiadał Paweł „Janos” Grabowski.

Zespół ma za sobą kilka udanych tras oraz występów w wydarzeniach takich jak m.in: Mystic Festival 2026, Metal Mine Festival 2024, Rockowisko Zwierzyniec 2024, czy trasy “Chaosu Nastał Czas” by Knock Out Productions; dzieląc scenę z wieloma szanowanymi grupami: Behemoth, Mastodon, Decapitated, Saxon, Watain, Hate, Krisiun, Blood Red Throne, Vomitory, Frontside, Hostia, Hamulec, Punched Orange The Materia, czy Redemptor.

Po trzech latach studyjnej ciszy, zespół powraca z drugim albumem The Art Of Deconstruction, który ponownie ukaże się nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Mimo stosunkowo krótkiego stażu GODSLUT zdążył zaznaczyć swoją obecność na polskiej scenie ekstremalnego metalu, prezentując dojrzałe i bezkompromisowe podejście do gatunku.

Przed wydaniem The Art Of Deconstruction zespół udostępnił do odsłuchu dwa single: Stifled (posłuchaj tutaj) oraz Self-made Gods (sprawdź tutaj)

The Art Of Deconstruction ukazał się na CD wraz z dedykowaną koszulką nawiązującą do oprawy graficznej nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Album i towarzyszący merch dostępne są w sklepie internetowym wydawcy

Ostatni z coverów AVULSED

 

The circle comes to an end, and it had to happen in Finland! The 11th and final piece of "Nordic Embryogenesis" resurrects ABHORRENCE, the legendary pre-AMORPHIS formation, with "Pestilential Mists", a brutal track taken from their 1990 7”EP. AVULSED brings this Finnish Death Metal gem into their own territory, retaining all its crushing heaviness and that dark, cavernous sound that still sounds as beastly as it did more than three decades ago.
