Recenzja Calvana „Sub Janus”

„Sub Janus”

Adirondack Black Mass 2026

Co jakiś czas zadziwia mnie metalowa scena, z której ni stąd, ni zowąd, potrafi wyłonić się perełka, istniejąca już kilka lat, ale z pewnych względów, pozostająca jak dotąd nie odkrytą. Zapewne spowodowane jest to mnogością kapel jak i problemami z promocją. Cóż, kiedyś było prościej. Takim klejnotem jest właśnie Calvana. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy kawałek od BARBARIC OATH

 

Today, Heroquest death metallers Barbaric Oath premiere the new track "Sword and Sorcerer" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut mini-album, Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance, set for international release on March 27th via Caligari Records on CD and cassette tape formats. Hear Barbaric Oath's "Sword and Sorcerer" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from Germany, Barbaric Oath are a duo of G. and L., who between them number such hordes as Into Coffin, Nekus, and Putridarium among others. They released a three-song demo in 2024 appropriately titled Attack! Attack! Attack! However, it's the even-more-appropriately-titled debut mini-album where their aesthetic truly comes alive: Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance.

Comprising five barbaric-indeed songs in 21 whirlwind minutes, on first blush, one could say Barbaric Oath's Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance is a devout slab of the bestial arts: gutted, gnawing, insistent in its ultraviolence. Peer deeper into the mini-album's inky depths and one will find not only more death-metalled muscle, but a compellingly unique thematic focus: fantasy from '70s and '80s cult films as well as role-playing games like Heroquest. Thus, the combination of that with a sound more akin to the likes of Finland's Belial, Mythos, and early Bolt Thrower, Barbaric Oath keep their word to crush your soul - simple, but surprisingly sublime.

Epic Death Metal, or Fantasy Death Metal? Dungeon Death Metal, or Heroquest Death Metal? Whatever you want to call Barbaric Oath, your fate is sealed with Sword, Sorcery, Vengeance!

Mini NACTHGNAWER za trzy tygodnie

 

Today, Purity Through Fire announces March 21s as the international release date for Nachtgnawer's highly anticipated debut mini-album, Medieval Devourer, on CD format.

Formed in 2022, Finland's Nachtgnawer have recorded a demo, a collaborative split with WulfSeer, and even a live album - but so far, a more extended record has not arrived. Nevertheless, their pedigree is substantial, numbering concurrent members of labelmates Licht des Urteils, Sacrificium Carmen, Coraxul, Riivaus, and Nôidva among others. As expected, Nachtgnawer unfurl Finnish filth of a most millennial variety...but on evidence of the new mini-album Medieval Devourer, there's more to their charred cauldron than expected. For one, the "medieval" extension / appellation certainly applies here; for however restless and rabid their execution may be, there's an alternately melancholic / triumphant aspect to their riffing that suggests an acute understanding of France's notorious Concilium crew. For another, the haunting tubular-bells interlude "Process of Procession" splits the record into two equally satisfying halves, with the first bearing the bite of the vampiric - the aforementioned collaboration was titled Unholy Vampyric Supremacy, after all - and the latter melting into the heavy metal of the epic "Stench of the Ancient Towers" and the quick-hitting "Desecrator." What's more, Nachtgnawer apply the subtlest of synth in spots, furthering underlining those ancient links. This is the Medieval Devourer!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new title track "Medieval Devourer" HERE at Purity Through Fire's official YouTube channel. Cover artwork, courtesy of Warhead Art, and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Teratoma „Longing Voracity”

 Teratoma

„Longing Voracity”

Me Saco un Ojo 2026

To drugi album berlińskiego Teratoma, bowiem debiut, zresztą bardzo obiecujący, ukazał się ponad cztery lata temu. Cieszę się, że pokładane w niektórych zespołach nadzieje stają się faktem, bo słychać wyraźnie, że panowie ten okres czasu dobrze spożytkowali. Nie zmieniając jednocześnie stylistyki, bowiem, podobnie jak „Purulent Manifestations”, tak i „Longing Voracity” zawiera czystej krwi metal śmierci spod znaku starej szkoły. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Ainzamkeit

„Fluch des Nachzehrers”

Purity Through Fire 2026

Ainzamkeit to duet z Dolnej Saksonii, który muzykuje od 2023 roku, grając depresyjny black metal. W dzień wagarowicza wydadzą za pośrednictwem swojej rodzimej wytwórni drugi album, zawierający osiem utworów, które przyjemnie lecą w przestrzeń. To w sumie bardziej melancholijny niż depresyjny bleczur, w którym dominują średnie i wolne tempa. (Czytaj dalej...)

BANISHER przedstawia teledysk do utworu "Daymare"

 

Zespół BANISHER prezentuje teledysk do utworu Daymare. To drugi klip promujący najnowszy album zespołu Metamorphosis, który ukazał się 30 stycznia 2026 nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Przez lata w skład BANISHER wchodzili muzycy związani z: Decapitated, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Belphegor, Vital Remains, DIETH i Hate.

Ostatni album zespołu, Degrees of Isolation, ukazał się nakładem Selfmadegod Records w 2020 roku. Po wydaniu trzech nowych singli w latach 2023 - 2024, BANISHER ruszył w trasę Aftermath Tour, podczas której zagrał 12 koncertów w całej Polsce. W 2025 roku zespół połączył siły z Terrordome i Dormant Ordeal w ramach Triple XX Tour - wspólnej trasy z okazji 20-lecia działalności zespołów, której kulminacją był wyjątkowy koncert w rodzinnym Rzeszowie podczas festiwalu Rockowa Noc.

Wchodząc w 2026 rok, BANISHER powraca ze świeżą energią oraz nowym albumem Metamorphosis, który stanowi jak dotąd najbardziej dojrzałe i różnorodne dzieło zespołu, będąc jednocześnie podsumowaniem 20-letniej drogi BANISHER oraz refleksją nad burzliwym światem, który go ukształtował. Choć album jest głęboko zakorzeniony w historii samego zespołu, odnosi się również do szerszych tematów izolacji, niepewności, przemiany i upadku, które zdefiniowały ostatnie lata.

Światowa premiera teledysku Daymare w piątek, 27 lutego 2026 tutaj

Pierwszym wideo promującym Metamorphosis było Manifest Of Justice. Obejrzyj tutaj

Metamorphosis ukazał się jako CD, LTD CD oraz dedykowany merch, a w dalszej kolejności dostępne będzie LP. Do nabycia w sklepie internetowym Selfmadegod Records.

Debiut MULTIWOMB w przyszłym miesiącu

 

Indonesian Brutal Death Metal trio, Multiwomb, will unleash their debut full-length album Anatomy of Gorelust, on March 23 via Grave Island Records. The album is a relentless 9-track statement of surgical brutality and gore-driven extremity.

Across 26 minutes of tightly executed devastation, the band delivers dense riff structures, punishing drum work and deeply guttural vocals rooted firmly in the traditions of classic brutal death metal. Rather than chasing trends, Multiwomb focus on precision, impact and raw intensity.

The album artwork was created by the legendary Jon Zig, known for his long experience and strong visual identity in the brutal death metal scene.

Recorded at Nada Rakta Chamber and Volcanic Studio, then mixed and mastered at Ultra Organic Studio, the album balances clarity with aggression, allowing every riff and blast to hit with calculated force. Each track feels like a deliberate incision, sharp and surgical.

Conceptually, Anatomy of Gorelust explores anatomical obsession and grotesque imagery, while establishing Multiwomb’s identity within the international extreme underground.

Frank Blackfire dołącza na Hells Bells

 

FRANK BLACKFIRE leads new wave of additions to HELLS BELLS FESTIVAL 2026

SŁOŃ, DROWNED IN SILVER and DIVING STOVE also confirmed for Szczecin’s debut edition

Szczecin, Poland; 26 February 2026: Hells Bells Festival has unveiled thrash metal royalty Frank Blackfire as the spearhead of its latest line-up announcement. The legendary guitarist, renowned for his work with Sodom and Kreator, will arrive in Szczecin with a set specifically curated from the cult thrash metal anthems he helped create. Festival attendees can expect a trip through the history of Teutonic thrash, featuring tracks from iconic albums such as “Persecution Mania”, “Agent Orange” and “Coma of Souls”.

The festival also welcomes Słoń, a pioneer of horrorcore/death rap in Poland and the head of Brain Dead Familia. Słoń has built a reputation for live shows that rival any metal concert in intensity. With a performance style that ignites walls of death and mosh pits in the audience, his presence on the Łasztownia waterfront bridges the gap between extreme rap and the metal underground.

The atmosphere will shift toward the mystical with the addition of Drowned In Silver. Despite their recent debut album “Mothers” via the respected Pagan Records, the band consists of seasoned veterans from across the black metal and experimental scenes. Their music provides a unique balance between occult rock and trance-like expression: dark, heavy and deeply immersive.

Rounding out the announcement is Diving Stove, a fresh force that has taken the Polish scene by storm. Known for their wild and unpredictable live performances, the band’s most recent release is their stellar thrash masterpiece, “Atavism”.

These new additions join previously confirmed acts: Dirkschneider (All-Accept set), Grave Digger, Possessed, NunSlaughter, The Materia, Pretensje, Cockney Rejects, Vader, Discharge, Furia, Dezerter, Belzebong, The Stubs, Dola, Hamulec and Seks W Czasach Wojny.

Debiut THE GREAT OBSERVER końcem kwietnia

 

On April 30th internationally, BlackSeed Productions is proud to present The Great Observer's striking debut album, Loss of Transcendence, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Driven by a shared longing for boundless expression, Daniele Z. (guitar and vocals, ex-Night Gaunt) and Luca E. (drums and vocals, ex-Demonomancy and ex-Thulsa Doom) came together in a rehearsal room in Rome in 2021 to start a new musical project. At the time, nothing was clear other than what it would be called: The Great Observer.

The name The Great Observer was chosen due to the founders' fascination with the age-old questions that have haunted humanity since the beginning of recorded history, whereby the further away you zoom out from Earth, the more fragile and invisible mankind would appear in the eyes of a higher consciousness or "being" tucked away in the lost regions of the universe. This ominous vision shaped up the music to be a mixture of obscure tones and grim melodies, coexisting with chaotic bursts of energy, in a ravaging mixture of Mediterranean black metal (Mortuary Drape, Zemial) and early death / thrash (Canada's Slaughter, Master, Order from Chaos).

In 2023, Claudio S. (bass, Vultures Vengeance) and Matteo A. (guitar) joined the ranks of The Great Observer, allowing the band to complete the composition and recording of their debut full-length, Loss of Transcendence, which represented the culmination of the previous years of exploration, experimentation, and refinement.

The recording of Loss of Transcendence took place between late 2024 and early 2025, while the mixing and mastering was carried out by The Forge Music Productions (Flamekeeper, Vultures Vengeance, Night Gaunt etc). The cover artwork and logo were created Claudio, who's also well known as illustrator for many bands and as a tattoo artist. The Great Observer brings forth an omen for a world ever closer to collapse!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "The Great Observer" HERE at BlackSeed's Bandcamp as well as HERE at BlackSeed's official YouTube channel. Aforementioned cover artwork and tracklisting are as follows:
