Recenzja Endless Dismal Moan „Lord Of Nightmare”

 

Endless Dismal Moan

„Lord Of Nightmare”

Hessian Firm 2025

 


Teraz coś z Kraju Kwitnącej Wiśni, bo ten solowy projekt zmarłego w 2008 roku muzyka właśnie stamtąd pochodzi. W sumie zdążył on nagrać trzy albumy, ale Hessian Firm zdecydowało się na reedycję pierwszego z nich, aby odświeżyć pamięć o tym oryginalnym przedsięwzięciu lub po prostu przybliżyć jego twórczość tym, którzy nigdy się z nim nie spotkali.  (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy kawałek od FERMENTO

 

Today, Spain's reanimated Fermento premiere the new track "The Stench Spreading to Your Progeny" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from their long-awaited fourth album, Acts of Blood, set for self-release internationally on July 28th. Hear Fermento's "The Stench Spreading to Your Progeny" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Fermento are an institution of brutal death metal, formed in 1991 in Madrid when there were actually no death metal bands in Spain yet, only thrash ones. Their first 7", Only the Flesh, was released in 1992, and a year after, two more songs were recorded and compiled onto the split Dead Flesh, where their sound would be clearly defined as brutal death. In 1994, the very dark and dense EP Fervour of the Impure was released. The next year, a live demo was released, and in 1996, another demo - The Shining - went out with a very original voice that would define a new style in the drutal death scene. It was the prelude to their first full-length, Symbols of Decrepitude, Symbols of Supremacy, released in 1997. It could be said that this album was one of the pioneers of slam / brutal death metal spread in the United States a short while after, and it's probably Fermento's most popular album to the date.

In 1999, Fermento moved to Ourense, and in 2004, the album Insignia was released, which received excellent reviews due to the technical, complex drumming and loads of extremely rapid riffs. It wasn't until 2009 that Recipe for Cremation was recorded, one of the most rapid works in the band’s history, and like every other Fermento album, it was also reissued by an American label. In 2019, Fermento released their first live album, Revengeful Wolves from the Mouth of Hell, featuring all the tracks from Symbols as a tribute to that album.

At long last, Fermento are set to release their fourth album, Acts of Blood, marking a bold evolution in their musical direction. This new chapter introduces powerful elements of black metal—featuring dark, dissonant riffs woven with bursts of unrelenting fury—all delivered with a cutting-edge sound reminiscent of the black metal scene, thanks to its low tuning and deep, resonant tones. Of especial note is the presence of two French luminaries, BST (Order of Apollyon, Sotherion, VI) on drums and production and MkM (Antaeus, Aosoth, Destruction Ritual) on guest vocals, further cementing Fermento as a cult act and one with extremely deep ties to the old underground. Breaking away from their previous work, Acts of Blood redefines Fermento as a revitalized force—fresh, fearless, and ready to dominate the scene.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "The Stench Spreading to Your Progeny" exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSinging.com. Also hear the previously revealed "Taste Emptiness" HERE at Fermento's Bandcamp, where the album can also be preordered. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Nowy NEKRO CVLT DESECRATION w sierpniu

 

Murder Records is honored to announce the second album by Nekro Cvlt Desecration, entitled "Purification In The Witchcraft Flames" and which will be released on August 15th, 2025 with the pestilent exhumation of the moldy coffins with nauseating odors of death and where profane voices echo to proclaim blasphemous chaos from this filthy open grave.

The infamous sound of Nekro Cvlt Desecration takes on a voracious devastation, full of darkness in the chaos that mercilessly invades the bowels of the underworld of darkness with possessed rhythms, where satanic proclamations and abominable prophecies are vomited.

The new album that Nekro Cvlt Desecration presents to us is decomposed with ten hymns that take us into an hellish journey to the depths of darkness, where the trumpets of the Luciferian archangels will guide us to the altar soaked with the blood spilled in this blasphemous ritual and where the death will reap the cursed believers with its impure sickle ready to decapitate the biblical creatures before they are immolated in the infernal flames.

This cursed witchcraft cult will be presented by Murder Records in the CD and Cassette formats with official distribution in the European Devision by Hellstore Europe, in the North American Devision by Southern Soundclash Records and Guts & Blood Records and in South America the official distribution will be assumed by Nekro Cvlt Desecration.


Tracklist:
01 - Purification In The Witchcraft Flames [01:24]
02 - Ancient Voices From The Graves [03:17]
03 - Spell Of Necromancy... Buried Alive In Darkness [04:05]
04 - Cvlt To Kaos & Blasphemy [01:52]
05 - Arsenic Angels [04:15]
06 - Witching Possession [03:03]
07 - Into The Coven / True Pestilential Force [05:35]
08 - Altares De Sangre Y Muerte [01:32]
09 - Antichristian Black Metal Reaper MMXXV [02:43]
10 - Sabatorical Abomination [03:51]

Jeszcze jeden singiel od ENTRAILS

 

Swedish death metal surgeons Entrails are back with a new studio effort titled Grip of Ancient Evil, to be released on 18th July via Hammerheart Records. The album's third single, 'Skin 'em All', is now available to stream on the label's YouTube channel.

Entrails comment: "Full throttle from the first second into a groovier part and a nice relaxed middle section, this song is a beast for the die-hard fans of the genre we play. Not modern, just simple old-school in the vein of the 90s."



Ósmy PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS we wrześniu

 

On September 5th internationally, Northern Silence in conspiracy with Brilliant Emperor are proud to present Pestilential Shadows' highly anticipated eighth album, Wretch.

One of Australia's longest-running and most respected black metal bands, Pestilential Shadows have been building a towering canon of work since 2003. Whereas many of their native land's extreme metal exports either tend toward the chaotic or too clean, the shadowy collective led by founding vocalist / guitarist Balam consistently create compelling swathes of drama and darkness, all-enveloping emotion and regal-yet-gritty grandeur. Truly, Pestilential Shadows are black metal classicism par excellence.

And while the last handful of their albums the past decade-plus have seen sizable gaps between them, Pestilential Shadows strike while the iron's hot with Wretch. Simply and substantially titled, Wretch follows from last year's Devil's Hammer and continues the band's progression / regression toward uglier, gnarlier expanses. Mind you, it's a lateral development rather than a vertical one - the "form" is still BLACK METAL, and its attendant contents are ruminations on death and the beyond - but the fact that Pestilential Shadows can subtly-to-significantly shift their sonic palette whilst conveying their characteristic melancholy and tragedy speaks to the enduring strength of their songwriting. What's more, the album's production is palpably professional, feeling effervescent and crisp even when running through those uglier, gnarlier expanses. If anything, said recording style of Wretch - mastered by Krvna mainman Krvna Vatra, who played on the aforementioned Devil's Hammer, with mixing done by Balam - gives the record a uniquely ethereal aspect, even when the band have kicked into ultraviolent overdrive. Above all, the eight songs that comprise the 49-minute Wretch prove Pestilential Shadows as masters of pacing, doling out the sublime and the profane with equally windswept aplomb. Of especial note is the solemn procession of "Where Sunlight Goes to Die," which features guest choral vocals from Dis Pater of Midnight Odyssey.

As always, totality is key, and thus has Greallach Art been brought back to provide stark & austere cover artwork for Wretch. On the strength of this album alone, Pestilential Shadows continue to assert their position as a classics-minded black metal vanguard, and will cement that position in the flesh with a European tour slated for late August through September and then an Australian / New Zealand tour to follow in October (dates after the jump).

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Where Sunlight Goes to Die" HERE at Pestilential Shadows' Bandcamp. Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:

ALPHA DESTROYER zapowiadają nowy materiał

 


“This Isn’t a Band. It’s a Warning.”

A new force is rising from the hard rock underground, and it's coming for blood. ALPHA DESTROYER, the explosive new band featuring Martin Sweet (Crashdïet), Kelly LeMieux (Buckcherry), and Eric Sexton-Dorsett (Sleepless), has officially announced their formation and the impending release of their debut album Fast Lane, coming later this year on Necromantic Press.

Forged over four years of late-night riffs, shared stories, and mutual respect aboard the Monsters of Rock Cruise, ALPHA DESTROYER is a five-headed beast that fuses the muscle of modern heavy metal with a razor-sharp melodic edge. Rounding out the lineup are guitarist/producer Kevin Hahn and drummer Ryan McPhaill, both of whom bring decades of high-calibre experience and intensity to the fold.

With influences rooted in heavy rock, classic metal, and progressive doom, Fast Lane is a ten-track juggernaut that kicks down the door from the opening riff. From the high-octane charge of opener "Straight Into the Grind" to the brooding stomp of "Manic Messiah", ALPHA DESTROYER weaves stories of struggle, power, and survival with a sound that’s both brutal and anthemic.

Watch the teaser video for Fast Lane at this location.

The track listing for ALPHA DESTROYER's Fast Lane album is as follows:

1 - Straight Into the Grind
2 - Masterplan
3 - Dirt in the Ground
4 - Lobotomized
5 - Transmission
6 - Fast Lane
7 - Sweet Dreams From Oblivion
8 - Manic Messiah
9 - Conspiracy
10 - The Prophet

ALPHA DESTROYER is not here to ask permission — they’re here to make noise. Follow the band online and join the inner circle before the fuse is lit.

THE STORM IS BUILDING. ALPHA DESTROYER IS COMING.

Zwiastun nowego krążka VERTEBRA

VERTEBRA formed in Porto Alegre back in 1994, releasing their only official demo, "Humanity," in '95 and that same year recording another demo that remained unreleased but contains tracks that became the fundamental basis for their debut album 30 years later. VERTEBRA's style is a melodic Death Metal with a certain technical feel, heavily influenced by DEATH, with touches of bands like KREATOR, CARCASS, SLAYER... and classic Heavy Metal.

"The Same" is a work composed of 11 songs recorded during 2024 and 2025, which led them to sign with Xtreem Music for distribution and promotion worldwide, which will undoubtedly place VERTEBRA in the place they should have occupied in the mid-90's.

04. Behind the World
05. Overcoming the Void

Debiut SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH we wrześniu

 

On September 19th internationally, Dying Victims Productions in conspiracy with Fucking Kill Records will release Sadistic Goatmessiah’s highly anticipated debut album, Violence, on CD and vinyl LP formats. And today, Deaf Forever magazine's website premieres the new track "Forces of Evil." Hear Sadistic Goatmessiah's "Forces of Evil" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s Sadistic Goatmessiah originally formed in 2013 but were mostly inactive until 2017. Back then, the band was a duo of vocalist / guitarist / bassist Morbid Goatpriest of Lust, Filth and Mayhem and drummer Goat Primator. As suggested by those nom de plumes and, of course, their very moniker itself, Sadistic Goatmessiah revel in sonic filth, as exemplified by their first couple demos, where a strong influence of the almighty Nifelheim and Australian blackthrash can be felt – and Japan’s legendary Sabbat, above all, which endures to this day. In 2021, bassist Goatess of Fire arrived, making the band a power-trio and driving that filth in a different-yet-parallel direction: speed metal with Hellhammer / Celtic Frost and Darkthrone influences and an unapologetic punk attitude (and still Sabbat!). Thereafter, four splits and a demo followed, fleshing out the Sadistic Goatmessiah sound before the inevitable debut album.

At last here, Violence is that first full-length, and its elegantly simple title says everything it should. Fast and deadly as the scythe of the reaper, Sadistic Goatmessiah here unload an arsenal of dungeonic speed metal steeped in the ancient and FUCK OFF, loose and lawless and deliberately raw as hot blood. Those aforementioned influences still remain, but the foremost one is of Sabbat, where eerie leads ride a galloping steed of filth, all reverbed to Hell and back, never feeling “retro” because the future never happened. For all the familiarity, the ten tracks comprising Violence work their malevolent magick due to Sadistic Goatmessiah’s off-the-rails execution: never faked, always full-on, fucking going for the throat and never letting up. As such, the album’s 40 minutes fly by in a flash, compelling repeat listeners just as you try to escape that very dungeon…the air above stinks, so might as well plummet back down to the filth! You want Violence? Sadistic Goatmessiah will give you fucking VIOLENCE!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Forces of Evil" exclusively HERE, courtesy of Deaf Forever, Germany's defenders of the true. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Sadistic Goatmessiah's Violence

HELLSPAWN "Euphorias - Stories Of My Multitude"

gold CD / limit 50 copies gold CD / tape / t-shirt / tant top / digital

06.06.2025

Hellspawn powraca z nowym albumem po czterech latach ciszy. "Euphorias - Stories Of My Multitude" podzielony na dziewięć utworów stanowiących dziewięć uniesień ku mrocznej naturze, prastarym prawdą i samego Diabła. Demon zespołu powraca jako odrodzony Faun, konglomerat mężczyzny podlany zwierzęcym zewem by żyć w hedonistycznym uniesieniu. Charakterystyczny growl wokalisty, połączony z precyzyjnymi blast beatami perkusji, tworzy atmosferę eterycznego oszołomienia i destrukcji. Złożone Death Metalowe riffy tną swoją ostrością by rozrywać w solach. Liczne masywne zwolnienia dodają mrocznego klimatu tworząc spójną i przerażającą, ale także wciągającą całość.

Recenzja Viogression „Thaumaturgic Veil”

 Viogression

„Thaumaturgic Veil”

Independent 2025

 

Mimo iż Viogression wydają właśnie swój czwarty album, jest to moje pierwsze spotkanie z zespołem. Panowie pochodzą ze Stanów i grają mieszankę, która w pierwszej chwili, zwłaszcza z opisu, może wydawać się niestrawna, tudzież przekoloryzowana. A absolutnie taką nie jest, co zaznaczam już teraz, żebyście nie zaprzestali czytania tego tekstu po kilku następnych zdaniach. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Dephosphorus „Planetoktonos”

 Dephosphorus

„Planetoktonos”

Selfmadegod Records 2025

Kilka lat już ci Grecy wojują, bo czynią to od 2008 roku, lecz aż tak dużo płyt na koncie nie mają, ponieważ mając na względzie siedemnastoletnią karierę, to obecnie wydają dopiero piąty krążek. Panowie podobno grają death-black metal ze sporą dawką grindcore’a. Nie wiem, jak było na ich poprzednich wydawnictwach, ale tego ostatniego czynnika mało wychwyciłem na „Planetoktonos”. (Czytaj dalej...)

Trzecia płyta NAEVUS we wrześniu

 

On September 19th internationally, Dying Victims Productions will release Naevus’ highly anticipated third album, Back Home, on CD and vinyl LP formats. And today, Deaf Forever magazine's website premieres the new track "Back Home." Hear Naevus' title track "Back Home" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany’s Naevus was originally formed in 1991 as a death metal trio. Various lineup changes and musical alterations led to the first demo Quixotic Dreams in 1993. The second demo, A Sad Illusion, arrived a year later bearing a doomier sound and clean vocals. In 1995, the Autumn Sun demo was recorded and released, with the lineup still existing today: Uwe Groebel (vocals / lead guitar), Oliver Grosshans (guitar), Sven Heimerdinger (bass), and Mathias Straub (drums). The demo – influenced by Trouble, Pentagram, Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, and Black Sabbath – received very good international reviews and finally led to the first recording contract in 1997 with Lee Dorrian’s Rise Above Records. The recordings were made at Vielklang Studio in Berlin where The Obsessed’s debut and Saint Vitus’ V were recorded. Bearing the title Sun Meditation, Naevus’ debut album was released in March 1998.

Longtime fans of the band, Dying Victims are honored to bring Naevus Back Home, and the album’s release show will take place with old tape-trading friend Patrick Walker of 40 Watt Sun and Warning at Schwarzer Keiler, Stuttgart on October 2nd.

Zapowiedź debiutu ANCIENT TORMENT

 

Today, New England black metallers Ancient Torment premiere the new track "Under the Guise of Virtue" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com.

Hear Ancient Torment's "Under the Guise of Virtue" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

From the coastal reaches of New England, Rhode Island-based Ancient Torment have emerged as a leading torchbearer in the region's black metal underground. The band formed around the core dominion established by guitarist Tormentum and drummer Zealot (both erstwhile members of Witch King) during the winter of 2016, with a handful of short-length releases in the years that followed. Taking influence from the gloomy darkness of the Finnish scene and triumphant misery of their Québécois neighbors to the north, Ancient Torment have forged their own black metal.
