Fog Wall…
Fajna nazwa, pomyślałem. Okładka jednak odstraszała, przypominając raczej jakiś
obrazek do gry komputerowej klasy B, i to niekoniecznie świeżej. Ale raz kozie
śmierć, w najgorszym przypadku będę żałował straconych trzech kwadransów życia,
bowiem tyle całość trwa. „Gloomweaver” to dziesięć kawałków hybrydy
deathmetalowej. (Czytaj dalej...)
Nigdy nie spotkałem się
wcześniej z tym hiszpańskim zespołem, ale gdy słuchem najnowszej, czwartej
płyty od Deprive, to trochę mam wrażenie jakbym obcował z wczesnym,
skandynawskim ujęciem death metalu. W szybszych i niezwykle nośnych partiach,
mocno kojarzy mi się z takimi kapelami jak Cadaver, Carnage czy wczesny
Therion. (Czytaj dalej...)
Since their very first journey into the night more than 25 years ago, GREEN CARNATION have never shied away from a challenge. However, from the beginning, there was one tale – or three, to be exact – that eluded them. Until now. After reaching crushing new peaks and delving into the deepest, darkest and most personal depths of their career during its first two parts, the prog bards are bringing their critically-acclaimed album trilogy to a bold conclusion on A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex.
Founded in the early ‘90s by Emperor’s original bassist Tchort, Green Carnation amassed a cult following behind critical acclaim for Light of Day, Day of Darkness, an album containing a single hour-long song that still resonates as one of the most ambitious epics in metal’s archives. Current members Bjørn Harstad (guitar) and Endre Kirkesola (keyboard, producer), along with Nordhus and Sordal, were already in place by 2001. But whether it was the gothic crush of A Blessing in Disguise or pitch-black hard rock of The Quiet Offspring, Green Carnation continued branching out through the mid-2000s. Even before going on hiatus in 2007, they still flashed a flare for the dramatic by performing their acoustic verses underneath a mountain dam.
With A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex, Green Carnation finish a masterpiece that stands alongside Light of Day, Day of Darkness as the defining statement of their storied career.

Decibel Magazine hosts the premiere of "Narcissistic God", the new single from Central American death-doom practitioners MORBID STENCH, taken from their forthcoming third full-length album, "Doom Metástasis", due out on October 2nd, 2026 through Nuclear Winter Records and Putrid Cult.
One of the album's more imposing pieces, "Narcissistic God" further reveals the band's increasingly developed approach to songwriting, combining crushing doom-laden passages with a suffocating death metal weight and a strong sense of progression.
Mystification Zine hosts the premiere of "Terrifying Manifestation of Malevolence", the new single from Chilean death metal force DECONSEKRATED, taken from their forthcoming sophomore album, "The Inexorable Transcendence of Death", due out on October 2nd, 2026 through Nuclear Winter Records on LP, CD and MC formats.
A particularly vicious manifestation of the band's sound, "Terrifying Manifestation of Malevolence" brings together the dense, hostile character and crushing intensity that define DECONSEKRATED, while showcasing the sharp songwriting instincts that elevate the album beyond straightforward genre worship.

The Swiss beast awakens once again. NIHILO unleashes "Primal Instinct", the first taste of "Abyss", their 5th studio album and yet another display of dark, brutal and uncompromising Death Metal. Xtreem Music will release it on November 3rd, 2026, on CD and Digital.
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.
Tracklist for "Abyss" is as follows:
01. Primal Instinct
02. Voidbound
03. Impending Doom
04. Dishonored Death
05. Inherent Cracks
06. Veil of Nothing
07. Suffocating Silence
08. Fractured
09. Roots in Bone
10. Enter the Abyss
Release date for "Abyss" will be November 3rd, 2026 through Xtreem Music on CD & Digital formats.
Wyrm Chasm is a feral force of black metal rising from Dallas, Texas. Formed in March 2015 by guitarist Eric Carrasco and bassist/vocalist Stephen Jeter, the band aimed to forge a cutting-edge sound rooted in raw atmospheres.
A blend of atmospheric and melodic black metal, Wyrm Chasm crafts a cold, oppressive atmosphere punctuated with emotionally charged riffing and furious percussion
Życie
jednak potrafi zaskakiwać. Sześć lat czekałem na następcę “To the Great
Monolith II”, a kiedy w moje ręce w końcu trafiła EP-ka o numerze 2.5, to nie
zdążyłem się nią jeszcze nacieszyć, gdy do drzwi zapukał ostatni rozdział
trylogii. Słucham w tej chwili „To the Great Monolith III” po raz dziesiąty, i
nadal nie potrafię się otrząsnąć, a miliony myśli kłębią mi się w głowie. (Czytaj dalej...)
Tsirhic to chyba świeży
szyld ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, bo poza tą dwunastocalówką, nie ma na koncie
żadnych nagrań. Za tym projektem stoi jeden człowiek, który zarejestrował na
rzecz tego wydawnictwa cztery numery czarciej surowizny. Surowizny, w której mieszają
się wpływy rzępolenia Czarnych Legionów, wczesnych, norweskich poczynań i
trochę fińskich manier. (Czytaj dalej...)
Progressive black metal band DECONSTRUCTING SEQUENCE release new video ‘THE UNDYING VOID”, featured on last year’s well-received album, “Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora” released through Black Lion Records. The song’s striking amalgamation of avante-garde textures, epic atmosphere, and brutal blackened prog is stunningly encapsulated by the dark but haunting visualization created by Łukasz Grosik from Remedy Brand.
Initially residing in the UK, DECONSTRUCTING SEQUENCE appeared from the shadows in 2013 with their EP “Year One.” They quickly followed it up in 2014 with another EP, "Access Code.” In 2017, they expanded the sounds of these EPs and summoned forth their first full-length album, “Cosmic Progression: An Agonizing Journey Through the Oddities of Space.” After lineup changes, a renewed energy was focused into releasing 2025’s, “Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora.”
The “UNDYING VOID,” blends furious riffing, majestic elements, and haunting atmospheric depth to forge a truly unique sonic journey.
Today, Caligari Records and Black Legion Records announce September 25th as the international release date for the striking debut EP from Lima, Peru's Funeral, self-titled Funeral. Caligari will handle the cassette tape version while Black Legion will handle the CD version.
Hailing from Lima - and thus, no relation to the band once hailing from Arequipa - Peru's Funeralare a veritable nuclear bomb-blast of manic blackened hardcore-punk deathrock. Or perhaps it's deathrocking hardcore-punked black metal? Any way you approach them, Funeral dole out one attack of unholy filth after another with little to no regard for safety - their or especially yours. Indeed, everything ATTACKS from every angle on their first recording, the five-song / 16-minute Funeral: staccato blasts of energy, chorus-drenched guitars, and totally tortured throat. Delirium and destruction are bound by rusty chains.
That this raw racket comes from a brand-new band may be surprising, but the members of Funeral are actually veterans of their local Lima scene. Their sound is shaped by Nilo's razor-wire riffs, Sabasius' speed-freak drumming, and Cavernoso’s guttural, agonizing howls, all colliding to drag you kicking into an abrasive vortex of pure noise and violence. It's a wretched descent into absolute misery, rage, and inevitable decay, recommended for tastes as varied (and violent) as G.I.S.M., Devilmaster, Bone Awl, Hævner, Blot & Bod, Rudimentary Peni, Dawn of Humans, and early Iceage. You already know if you have the fortitude for this Funeral!
In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Averno" HERE at Caligari Records' Bandcamp, where the EP can also be preordered. A video for the song can also be seen & heard HERE at Caligari's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
