„The Evolution of Social Exclusion”

Independent 2026

Calus jest podobno już trochę legendą na amerykańskiej scenie stoner metalowej. W sumie się nie dziwię, bo od momentu powstania w 2002 roku, razem z „The Evolution of Social Exclusion”, w swojej dyskografii posiadają tylko trzy epki. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Mørkgrim „Sǫgur frá Norðfirði”

„Sǫgur frá Norðfirði”

Soulseller Rec. 2026

Kurwa, myślałem, że jak zespół ma w nazwie Mörk i Grim, to może być mroźnie i ciekawie. Tytuł ich debiutu z kolei, który przetłumaczyć można jako „Sagi z Nordfjordu”, skojarzył mi się natychmiast z cyklem wydawniczym „Saga o ludziach lodu”, który to swego czasu czytał shub niggurath, i pamiętam, że  mu się podobało. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Callous Master „Callous Master”

 Callous Master

„Callous Master”

Invictus Productions 2026

Kapela nowa, pochodząca z Irlandii, gdzie w 2023 roku wydała demo. Po trzech latach, do tamtych trzech kawałków panowie dograli kolejne trzy i mamy płytę. Czemu nie zatytułowali jej jako „trzy” nie wiem, ale nie to jest ważne tylko zawartość. Jest nią black metal, w pełni nawiązujący do dźwięków, stanowiących o jego narodzinach, bowiem Irlandczycy grają pod Hellhammer, ale wykorzystują również patenty znane z dyskografii Venom i Bathory. (Czytaj dalej...)

"Another worthy addition to Swartadauþuz's discography, living up to the expectations that inevitably accompany each of his new creations!" (Metalitalia.com)

Eight days before official release, the enigmatic Swedish collective TROLLDOM – led by Swartadauþuz (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ, MUVITIUM) – present a full stream of third album, "Tronen", in collaboration with Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel.

Firm in their conviction that art requires neither explanation nor elaboration, TROLLDOM leave the music to speak for itself. Thus, experience "Tronen" in its entirety here!

Steeped in the atmosphere of mid-90s Swedish Black Metal, TROLLDOM unleash a storm of dark melodies, anthemic leads, evocative vocals and stirring progressions. Driven by the relentless drumming of K. Paradis (BELPHEGOR, MELECHESH) and enriched by the majestic keyboards of Alex Poole (MARTRÖÐ, SKÁPHE), "Tronen" is one of Swartadauþuz's most compelling, resolute and hook-laden creations to-date.

"Tronen" will be released on CD, vinyl (including an exclusive DMP edition) and digital on October 30th.

BEFOULED MALEDICTION do odsłuchu

 

Emerging from the shadowy circle surrounding ORDO VAMPYR ORIENTIS, BEFOULED MALEDICTION bring their debut album, "Desperate Necromancy", to Black Metal Promotion, where the record is now available to hear in its entirety ahead of its official digital release on October 30, 2026.

Across seven tracks, the mysterious US project spins a macabre tale of grief, forbidden knowledge and a warlock's desperate attempt to resurrect his deceased beloved. Melodic black metal, spectral keyboards and sinister harmonies shape a narrative that gradually spirals from mourning into obsession, as the pursuit of lost love gives way to increasingly disturbing consequences.

Drawing on the Scandinavian melodic black metal tradition while embracing the eerie atmosphere of dungeon synth, "Desperate Necromancy" unfolds as a supernatural tragedy in which the boundary between devotion and damnation grows ever thinner. Limited vinyl editions will follow on November 13 through Ixiol Productions and Dawnbreed Records.

Stream the album at THIS LOCATION.
