Recenzja Lead Injector „Witching Attack”

 Lead Injector

„Witching Attack”

High Roller Rec. 2026

Szczerze uśmiałem się, kiedy pierwszy raz spojrzałem na okładkę debiutanckiego krążka Lead Injector. Przebrana za wiedźmę metalówa (lub wiedźma ubrana jak fanka metalu) napierdala z bliskiej odległości z szotgana w łeb próbującego dorwać ją kościotrupa. No wyborny obrazek, nawet jak na wszechobecny w tym gatunku muzycznym, często zamierzony kicz, jest to lekko już koślawe. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Love Overdrive”

Self-Release 2026

Ci Amerykanie pochodzą z Baltimore i grają razem od 2017 roku. Cztery lata temu wypuścili pierwszą płytę, a teraz wracają z drugim krążkiem. To pięciu facetów w ramoneskach, dżinsowych katanach lub bezrękawnikach, a na nosie każdego z nich znajdują się lustrzane aviatory. Podarte spodnie, znoszone glany, włosy w nieładzie i zarost na twarzy.  (Czytaj dalej...)

Zapowiedź nowego IN MALICE'S WAKE

 


Aussie thrash stalwarts IN MALICE'S WAKE have announced the impending release of their long-awaited fifth studio album, The Profound Darkness.

Where previous albums have all progressively stepped downward into darker and more brutal territory over the years, The Profound Darkness conjures a demonic presence that feels closer than ever before. This album is an exploration of the darkness that awaits us all beyond the grave - a journey through the various forms that the great unknown may take, told through a collection of 9 carefully crafted stories.

An infernal blend of Death and Blackened Thrash metal, IN MALICE'S WAKE continue to prioritize crafting songs that stand the test of time - songs that speak with a haunting, iconic and truly recognizable voice.

IN MALICE'S WAKE calls the album a tribute to all the incredible people who have supported the band globally over the previous quarter of a century.

The Profound Darkness is due out on May 1.

Tracklisting: 
1) The Profound Darkness
2) Beyond Death
3) By Tongues of Demons
4) The Last Song

Trzeci WRANG za dwa miesiące

 


On April 24th internationally, Dominance of Darkness Records is proud to present Wrang's highly anticipated third album, Verwording, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in 2013 by the duo of Valr and Galgenvot, Wrang didn't properly become active until 2015, but since then have become a standard-bearer for the Netherlands' resurgent black metal scene. Their earlier inspiration tended toward the likes of Horna, Taake, and Slavia, but in more recent years - and especially with their second album, 2022's De vaendrig - a more rock 'n' rolling style of black metal has come to define Wrang, although they're not necessarily "black 'n' roll" by definition.

To prove the point, now arrives Wrang's third full-length, Verwording. Brimming with bright & triumphant riffing and feverishly urgent execution, Verwording is a windswept journey into dark-yet-emotive corridors of ancient-style black metal. One could liken this to Wrang at their most atmospheric, and that one would not be wrong, but that doesn't tell the entire story of Verwording. The duo retain the balls-to-the-wall aspect of the previous record, but the rippingly melodic riffing recasts that energy in quite a refreshing way.

Lyrically, Verwording reflects that slight sonic shift, as Wrang's themes here differ from those prior, ranging from societal critiques to more abstract themes, such as the inner need for strife, leaving behind home and what you know in a longing for something else. But, like most of the band's music, these lyrics can also be a bit contradictory: on one hand, always looking for something, yet never at ease once it's reached. Always restless, defiant, yet always torn - such is Wrang, to the bitter end.

Bringing both together is the cover art to Verwording, offering an apt metaphor for the album's sonic and lyrical themes: always drifting on stormy waters, always searching, never settling, desperate yet defiant. Long may Wrang's restless heart beat!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Nachten in Walheim" HERE at Dominance of Darkness' official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Wrang's Verwording
1. Stilstand [5:56]
2. Entartete Kunst [6:20]
3. Nachten in Walheim [4:48]
4. Voor ons de zee [5:37]
5. De Duivel is de ander [6:38]
6. Bitjebauw [9:34]

Recenzja Oskoma „Krystalicznie Brudny”

 Oskoma

„Krystalicznie Brudny”

Black Death Prod. 2025

Całkiem ciekawa nazwa jak na zespół blackmetalowy, nie powiem. Oskoma to łaknienie na słodycze, tudzież drętwienie zębów po zjedzeniu czegoś kwaśnego. Domyślam się, że w tym przypadku chodziło chłopakom o to drugie. Zresztą cholera wie, co ludziom po głowach, czy tam zębach, chodzi. Do brzegu… (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy kawałek od TÜRBÖWITCH

 


TÜRBÖWITCH return with “Cult Mastery”, the second single taken from their upcoming third full-length “Under Haunted Skies”, and a blazing declaration of true metal intent. Fierce and triumphant, the track stands as a full-throttle anthem forged in speed, steel and devotion to the old ways. Driven by galloping riffs, searing leads and a breakneck rhythm section, “Cult Mastery” captures the band at their most commanding, fusing blackened speed-thrash ferocity with an unmistakable sense of epic menace.

"Under Haunted Skies", will be released on March 20th, 2026 via Time To Kill Records.

Commenting on the song, the band explain:

"Among the ashes of chaos, cults flourish.
Desperate crowds pray to a false god, searching for something to cling to under the cursed heavens.
The power of the cultists grows and with it, madness itself".


W kwietniu debiut WERWOLF

 


On April 24th internationally, Dominance of Darkness Records is proud to present the long-awaited debut album of Germany's Werwolf, Satanic Terror, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in the dark days of 2005, Germany's Werwolf spent their first 15 years in the deepest underground, littering filth only when the time was right - and then returning, once again, to a cold grave. It was not until 2021's Blutgericht EP, released by Dominance of Darkness, where Werwolf began to climb further up from those dungeons, or at least commit to a more active plan of filth. Nevertheless, as their releases became more prolific, the Germans still stayed committed to the old ways of the black metal underground: no compromise, no light.

Born from the whore of the dead heaven, after more than 20 years, Werwolf's first full-length appears to ruin everyone's day. Truly titled, Satanic Terror is raw & blasphemous BLACK METAL, renewing the covenant of the late '90s that was so foundational to their crude & rude aesthetic. From fanatical fast segments to cold-as-ice cruising, from wild frenzy to hypnotic delirium, all coated in a shadowy shimmer that's vintage 1998, Werwolf here manifest pure chaos into a gauntlet of fiercely honed hate. For those whose hearts long for the old days of Drakkar, Sombre, and Breath of Night, Satanic Terror will be a nostalgic listen - a tome to return to forgotten realms and ancient glory - while everyone else will be repulsed; either way, Werwolf stand defiant. This is fucking Satanic Terror!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Temple of No Light" HERE at Dominance of Darkness' official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Werwolf (Germany)'s Satanic Terror
1. Satanic Terror
2. Shrine of Faith
3. ...of Cursed Places and Desegrated Graves
