Recenzja Nachtheem „ Waan van de Leegte”
Nachtheem
„ Waan van de Leegte”
Terretur Possessions 2026
Dziś na
rozpisce mamy przedstawiciela black metalu z Holandii. Twór to dość świeży, bo
działający zaledwie od lat dwóch, i mający na koncie demo i dwa splity. Bardzo mi się to podoba, że chłopaki (choć w
sumie nie wiadomo kto zespół tworzy, bo nie ma o tym żadnych informacji, więc
może i dziewczyny) trzymają się staroszkolnej, prawilnej tradycji, i wydają
kolejne nagrania podług pierwotnego wzorca. (Czytaj dalej...)
Recenzja Profane Burial „Desolate Echoes of Turmoil”
Profane Burial
„Desolate
Echoes of Turmoil”
These Hands Melt 2026
Na swojej najnowszej
płycie, Profane Burial kontynuuje pochód poprzez labirynt progresywnego black
metalu, tworząc rozległe i dość skomplikowane aranżacje. Panowie nie osiedli na
laurach i postanowili pójść jeszcze dalej w modernistyczne tony. Tym razem do
symfonicznych i połamanych akordów, dołożyli jeszcze więcej wirtuozerskich
popisów, improwizacji i eksperymentalnie brzmiących zagrywek. (Czytaj dalej...)

Wieści z obozu ALPHA DESTROYER
ALPHA DESTROYER are releasing a special-edition cover of the KISS classic, "God of Thunder."
The band dug deep into the annals of KISStory to put their own unique stamp on the song. Guitarist Eric Sexton-Dorsett explains. "We based our version on Paul Stanley's original demo version instead of the Bob Ezrin produced version everyone knows. Paul used 1/16 note high hats and a more upbeat tempo. We swapped those for double basses a la 'Exciter' from Judas Priest. Paul also used a more pop sensibility and falsetto vocals in the chorus, which we embraced fully."
The single will be available as a hand-numbered, limited-edition, hand lathe-cut, clear vinyl 7" that ships on August 11. Pre-order now at necromanticpress.com

Nowy kawałek od GORGE
Italian death metal force GORGE have unveiled "Without Inheritance", the second single taken from their forthcoming debut full-length "Deeds of Horror", due out on August 27, 2026 via Time To Kill Records.
Showcasing another facet of the band's songwriting, the new track highlights GORGE's ability to balance crushing aggression with sharp rhythmic interplay, combining hard-hitting grooves, constantly shifting dynamics and a wide-ranging riff vocabulary.
Rather than relying on sheer speed alone, "Without Inheritance" builds its impact through diversity, offering a compelling preview of an album that aims to merge classic death metal ferocity with a confident, modern sense of groove and songwriting precision.

Recenzja Necromonger “Emanation of the Dying Perceptions”
Necromonger
“Emanation of the Dying
Perceptions”
Xtreem Music 2026
Do
Bułgarii to jeździło się na wywczasy w okresie PRL-u? Pamiętacie? Chuja tam,
pewnie większość nie wie o czym rozmawiam. Ale żeby tam grali death metal? Od
wielkiego dzwonu. Takim jednak dzwonem jest Necromonger, którego to debiutancki
album ukazał się chwilę temu pod banderą Xtreem Music. Label ten, oczywiście w
moim mniemaniu, do potentatów rynkowych nie należy, ale czasem ma przebłyski. (Czytaj dalej...)

Zapowiedź nowego NIHILO
Swiss Death Metal veterans NIHILO, reveal the stunning cover artwork for their upcoming 5th album "Abyss", made by artist Rodrigo Prerira S. (Absolute Desert) which is scheduled for its release through Xtreem Music next November 3rd on CD & Digital formats.
After more than two decades of uninterrupted activity, NIHILO have carved their name through sheer persistence, evolution, and sonic devastation, becoming one of the most solid and relentless acts in the European scene. From their self-released beginnings with “Nyktophobia” (2008) and “Concordia Perpetua” (2010), the band has continuously expanded its arsenal through a string of EPs, splits, and full-length albums, establishing themselves as a respected force within the European underground. Releases like “Dum Spiro Spero” (2014), “Doom” (2018), and “Resolution” (2022) showcase a clear progression toward a darker, denser, and sharper sound, where classic-rooted Death Metal collides with elements of Black Metal and Hardcore without losing an ounce of brutality.
Their live activity has been equally crushing, with constant touring across Europe, sharing the stage with legends such as Possessed and Suffocation, and appearing at festivals like Mountains of Death and Metalcamp. In recent years, the band has kept the momentum going with releases such as the compilation “Made of Lies” (2024) and the live album “Chaos Unleashed” (2025), proving they remain in top form.
Now, with their signing to Xtreem Music, NIHILO enter a new phase with serious intent. “Abyss” promises to be their darkest, most aggressive, and ambitious work to date, marking a turning point in their career.
Release date for "Abyss" will be November 3rd, 2026 through Xtreem Music on CD & Digital formats.Stay tuned for the upcoming advance singles that will be revealed in the coming months.

Recenzja Reekmind „Glints from the Crematorium”
Reekmind
„Glints from the
Crematorium”
Night Terrors Rec. 2026
Piętnaście
miesięcy po debiutanckim “Mired in the Reek of Grief” powraca australijski
Reekmind. Tym razem panowie przypominają o sobie przy pomocy trzyotworowej
EP-ki, zawierającej łącznie dwadzieścia pięć minut muzyki. Ujmując rzecz
precyzyjnie, są to dwie studyjne kompozycje, plus, jako bonus, nagranie live, z
tegoż jednak samego studio, zatem różnice w dźwięku są minimalne. (Czytaj dalej...)

Bestia Arcana
„Holókauston”
(re-issue)
Debemur Morti Productions 2026
Bestia Arcana jest
kapelą z USA, a dokładnie ze stanu Kolorado. Grają już od 2008 roku, a swój
debiut „To AnabainonektesAbyssu” wydali w 2011. „Holókauston” to reedycja, bo
pierwotnie ukazał się on w 2017 roku, a teraz wzięła go na warsztat Debemur
Morti. To cztery, okazałe utwory, ponieważ łącznie trwają ponad czterdzieści
minut więc jest nad czym się skupić. (Czytaj dalej...)
