Recenzja Saprovore „Numinous Abditory Deflagration”

 Saprovore

„Numinous Abditory Deflagration”

I, Voidhanger Rec. 2026

Lubicie popierdoloną muzykę? To mam coś dla was. Saprovore to solowy projekt gościa, który dał się już poznać z dobrej strony przy okazji wydanego w zeszłym roku debiutu Strigiform. O ile tamten twór był awangardową wizją death/black metalowego amalgamatu, to pod nazwą własną Włoch poszedł jeszcze dalej. Zdecydowanie dalej. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Temple of Dread

„Dreadspawn Dominion”

Testimony Records 2026

To już szósta płyta tej niemieckiej kapeli, która zdążyła zaznaczyć swoje miejsce na europejskiej, death-thrashowej scenie. Panowie od momentu powstania Temple of Dread nie próżnują i dość regularnie wydają płyty. Najnowszy krążek „Dreadspawn Dominion” zawiera obok intro dziewięć numerów, które częstują mieszanką wspomnianych wyżej gatunków. (Czytaj dalej...)

NEDGRAVD na Death Is Not The End

 

FAM: drugi singiel z nadchodzącej płyty udostępniony

 

Brutal death/grindowy kwintet FAM prezentuje Perverse Devotion, drugi singiel promujący najnowszy album zespołu Pleasure Of Torture. Premierę płyty zaplanowano na początek sierpnia nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Darek Młody o utworze: Perverse Devotion to jeden z bardziej brutalnych utworów na płycie i opowiada o całkowitym rozpadzie ciała i umysłu, przedstawionym jako bluźnierczy rytuał biologicznej destrukcji. Bohater nie tylko doświadcza rozpadu - on świadomie zanurza się we własnym rozkładzie, traktując bóli zniszczenie jako formę „objawienia”.

Singiel z nowego WINDSWEPT

 

Today, Primitive Reaction announces September 25th as the international release date for the fourth album of Ukraine's Windswept, A Sign of the Cloven Hoof, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Windswept is yet another creative vehicle for Roman Saenko, known for his work in Drudkh and Hate Forest among others. While most of his musical creations stem from black metal, thankfully, Windswept is consistent in this regard and unapologetically restrictive, retaining Saenko's characteristically hypnotic riffing coasting atop a wintry atmosphere.

In 2024, Windswept aligned with Primitive Reaction for the release of the mini-album Der eine, wahre König. Now, the band return under that banner with their fourth album, A Sign of the Cloven Hoof. Inspired by Ukrainian demonology and Mykola Gogol's early stories, A Sign of the Cloven Hoof maintains Windswept's characteristic surging austerity - solemn yet fiery, impassioned but deadpan, violently unrestrained whilst artfully rendered - but with two of the 35-minute album's tracks stretching to or exceeding ten minutes, new(er) vistas of the trio's imagination open up. That they can downshift so effectively - nay, poignantly - into something perhaps more powerful, all while retaining that austere intensity, speaks volumes about the creativity at the core of Windswept. Simply witness 11-minute opener "Behind the Masks of Piety" and its haunting second half: no doubters shall remain. Elsewhere on A Sign of the Cloven Hoof, the momentum remains monolithic even if the delivery becomes relatively livelier; however, labor under no illusion that there's anything superfluous here, either in exposition or delivery; Windswept are nothing if not unadorned, iron-fisted and -willed to the very end. Those who know, know, and will heed A Sign of the Cloven Hoof.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Buried Face Down" HERE at Primitive Reaction's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Horns of Abomination “Horns of Abomination”

 Horns of Abomination

“Horns of Abomination”

Sentient Ruin Laboratories 2026

Sentient Ruin Laboratories raczej rzadko wydają materiały demo. Rzadko nie znaczy jednak nigdy, bowiem „Horns of Abomination” demówką jest właśnie. Ten Amerykański, anonimowy twór swoją twórczość kieruje do bardzo specyficznego odbiorcy, a że wydawnictwo zawiera jedynie trzy kompozycje, zamykające się w dziesięciu minutach, to i poematów o nim pisać nie zamierzam. (Czytaj dalej...)

To świeża kapela z włoskiej ziemi, bo powstała w zeszłym roku. Po drodze do „dzisiaj” nagrali dwa demosy i singla, ale wszystko w formie digital. Pod koniec sierpnia ukaże się ich debiutancki krążek w postaci „Deeds of Horror” właśnie. Muzyka jaką tworzy ten duet, to brutalny metal śmierci, więc panowie szyją gęstym ściegiem. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy WHARFLURCH we wrześniu

 

On September 25th internationally, Personal Records, Gurgling Gore, and Dawnbreed Records are proud to present Wharflurch's highly anticipated second album, Mycodeath and Rebirth in the Outer Clusters. Personal, Gurgling Gore, and Dawnbreed will all be releasing the vinyl LP version; the CD version will be shared by Personal and Dawnbreed; and the tape version will be handled exclusively by Gurgling Gore.

In lieu of this announcement, the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel premieres the new track "Forgotten Temple." Hear Wharflurch's "Forgotten Temple" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Wharflurch left the death metal world hanging at the end of 2021's Psychedelic Realms ov Hell, with the protagonist of the first album being lost in a fungal haze of disillusionment at the album's conclusion. They return with the sequel to the epic psychedelic saga, Mycodeath and Rebirth in the Outer Clusters, another concept album continuing the story, placing our "hero" at the precipice of an incredible journey to the furthest regions of our universe, where the ubiquitous Mycolords reveal the true plan for their experimentation on Planet Earth, how indeed this is a universe-wide phenomena, and how he fits into their grand scheme.

Lurch-lords John Mamo and Myk Colby fashioned the storyline, musical journey, and lyrical concept to complete their vision of a universe that is secretly ruled by puppet-master mushroom entities, who covertly inoculate virile planets with their own spore-kind to foster sentient life as they see fit: a true sci-fi epic of world-building and conceptualization that places the listener at a vantage point to interpret interplanetary life as ventures of this secret race of mycelial beings who control the life force of galaxies with a hidden hand.

Fraught with frustration and peril, this recording (which began in very late 2021) is finally being unleashed upon the wary world, but is yet poised to display the innovation and progression of the Wharflurch sound: dismal doom-death with flashes of ignorance and brilliance interspersed within the cornucopia of riffs and textures.

Influences are only seen as guideposts, not references, and as such summon the madness of such unsung greats like Timeghoul and Demilich - only breathing in the conceptual insanity, and exhaling a truly Flurch-y result. Musically, the journey of this album volleys between chunky / catchy / plodding and tricky / obtuse / beautiful, with the trademark synth flourishes that add a cosmic touch to the proceedings.

Vocal duties are shared between Mamo and Myk, with guest appearances by Garrett Alvarado (frontman extraordinaire from Midwest death-dealers Maul) on vocals as the voice of the "Sporelords," and Jamie Stewart (throat shredder for The Abscence, Party Time, and Hot Graves) doing narratives and guest vocals on quite a few songs. Thus, the narrative takes on a new dimension, with different voices playing different parts to this uncanny story.

The conceptual artwork was rendered by none other than Claw//Eight, the morbid pensmith responsible for many of Wharflurch's visual offerings over the years, who indeed has even been in the van on tour with the band, which earns him honorary membership as the band’s Visionary. His artistic depictions of psychedelic fright and transformation are absolutely intrinsic to the concept and realization of this album's continuation of the story. Mycodeath and Rebirth in the Outer Clusters is an odyssey for the adventurous listener: a deathly riff journey into the outer cosmos, where our destiny has been foretold by beings who treat our planet as a failed.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Forgotten Temple" exclusively HERE, courtesy of the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Preorder info can for the CD version can be found HERE. Aforementioned cover artwork and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja / A review of Death.Void.Terror “To the Great Monolith 2.5”

 Death.Void.Terror

“To the Great Monolith 2.5”

Sentient Ruin Laboratories 2026

Trochę mnie zaskoczyli panowie z Death.Void.Terror. Wiem, że z założenia „To the Great Monolith” miał być trylogią. Czekałem zatem na trzecią, wieńczącą całość część. Czekałem, i trochę się zaczynałem niepokoić, czy aby projekt ten nie został porzucony, bowiem z obozu Szwajcarów nie było żadnych wieści przed sześć lat. Kiedy w końcu, zupełnie z zaskoczenia, w mojej skrzynce pojawiło się nowe wydawnictwo zespołu, okazało się, że to jeszcze nie ostatni rozdział, a coś pomiędzy. (Czytaj dalej... / Read here)

„Blood Constellation”

Caligari Records 2026

Kyrios jest w miarę świeżą kapelą z Nowego Jorku, bo wypełzli zapewne z zaszczurzonych piwnic tego miasta w 2019 roku. Zbyt płodni nie są, bo razem z „Blood Constellation” mają na koncie tylko dwie epki. Najnowsze wydawnictwo tego tercetu, to cztery kawałki. (Czytaj dalej...)

Mini TSIRHIC za miesiąc

 

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions sets August 21st as the international release date for Tsirhic's striking debut mini-album, To Satan I Reply..., on CD and 12" vinyl formats.

Tsirhic is a new one-man band hailing from the United States. Despite this newness, the sound across the opening To Satan I Reply... is most definitely OLD. No more but definitely no less, Tsirhic exclusively play black metal of a most mid-to-late '90s variety, when the dungeons of the underground possessed such stalwarts as Moonblood, Judas Iscariot, and Osculum Infame - legends whose hearts were still enflamed in the glare of burning churches. Tsirhic's heart is similarly, authentically enflamed, as the five-song / 25-minute To Satan I Reply... is testament to. The riffing is cold and dead yet vibrant with energy and emotion. An atmosphere of mystical possession is present, ceding to a ceremonial triumph. The recording is raw and rippling, conveying the work of actual human hands, and imparting that vibrancy of the riffing to its fullest. And the mainman's vocals are pure, ancient-days hate, recalling Gorgoroth's Hat or Mütiilation's Meyhna'ch. Too many references? Then perhaps Tsirhic is not for you: To Satan I Reply... is unwavering in its dedication, and demands such from the listener.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Mockery of Solitude" HERE at Iron Bonehead's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Tsirhic's To Satan I Reply...

1. Blessed Be [4:57]

2. H.I.P.C. [4:36]

3. God Dethroned [6:07]

4. The Prophecy of Gog [4:31]

5. Mockery of Solitude [4:26]
