Recenzja Mylingar „Út”

 Mylingar

„Út”

Amor Fati 2026

Przyznam się, szczerze, że kiedy zobaczyłem w skrzynce odbiorczej promo nowego albumu Mylingar, to aż podskoczyłem z radości, a pierwszą rzeczą jaką zrobiłem kiedy tylko odfajkowałem wszelkie obowiązki domowe, było założenie słuchawek i… zejście do piekła. Stamtąd bowiem, bankowo, dźwięki tworzone przez ten tajemniczy szwedzki projekt pochodzą. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Multiwomb

„Anatomy of Gorelust”

Grave Island Records 2026

Co jak co, ale gościa z okładki spotkać to bym nie chciał. Multiwomb najwyraźniej takich oporów nie mają, bo nawet skomponowali dla niego dziewięć numerów, które składają się na ich debiutancki krążek. To trzech, pochodzących z Indonezji facetów, którzy jak można się domyślić z załączonego obrazka, nie gustują w wysmażonym, lecz w krwistym mięsie. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy numer SANDSTORM

 

On May 22nd internationally, Dying Victims Productions will release a brand-new mini-album from Swedish transplants Sandstorm, Dungeon of Death, on CD and 12" vinyl formats. And today, Deaf Forever magazine's website premieres the new track "Slave to Sin." Hear Sandstorm's "Slave to Sin" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Imagine three black-clad warriors galloping across the battlefield at full speed towards you, with weapons held high and the clash of thunder overhead… but instead of a swift, merciless death, what assaults you is the charming heavy metal of Sandstorm!

Sandstorm was formed in 2017 by Swedish brothers Stevie Whiteless and Reptile Anderson, and joined by Canadian drummer PJ “The Butcher” LaGriffe. Inspired by underground Swedish metal, the NWOBHM, shining studs and black leather, Sandstorm are the perfect embodiment of what real HEAVY METAL is all about.

Ever since the twin releases of Time to Strike (2019) and Desert Warrior (2021), both released to international acclaim by Dying Victims, true metallers have been craving a new Sandstorm record – and it seems that those prayers are about to be answered with yet another mini-album, Dungeon of Death!

The format is truly suiting to the power-trio, as their punchiness is amplified further, giving an immediacy to their largely patient march & gallop. Compared to its predecessors, Dungeon of Death sees Sandstorm bringing out the rock ‘n’ roll roots of ancient heavy metal even more than before. And when paired with the cleaner production style – warm, vintage, and very nearly time-traveled from 1982 – a certain mystical atmosphere arises from that dungeon…and with it, medieval metal might! Sandstorm bring you back to life – tonight!

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

Wznowienie demo PUNGENT STENCH dostępne na winylu

 

Old school Extreme Death Metal demo finally available again! Contains a never heard before rehearsal including the previously unreleased song “Melted Corpse”!

Before the name Pungent Stench was synonymous with the twisted, perverted, groove-laden Death Metal of the early ‘90s, before the record deals, the festivals, and the cult legacy... they were just three maniacs cranking out the most vile, unhinged noise Vienna had ever heard. This is where it all began!

“Mucous Secretion”, recorded in one session on a ghetto blaster, no overdubs, no frills, no polish. Just raw, repulsive Death Meal chaos! Tracked at live during rehearsals back in 1988.

Tracklist:

Rehearsal Demo Mucous Secretion

“Theos-Vel-Samael”

I, Voidhanger Rec. 2026

Ciekaw jestem ile z was słyszało dotychczas o Ain Sof Aur. A zespół to wcale nie młody, bowiem swoją obecność na scenie zgłosił już równe dwie dekady temu. Co prawda panowie do najbardziej pracowitych nie należą, bo w przeciągu tych dwóch dekad dorobili się zaledwie trzech demówek, splitu, i trzech materiałów pełnowymiarowych, z których to najnowszy właśnie dziś na tapecie. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Cryptic Shift

„Overspace & Supertime”

Metal Blade (2026)

 

Raz na kilka lat trafiają się albumy-molochy, rozpasane dzieła budzące z jednej strony niechęć swoim przepychem, intensywnością i rozmiarem, a z drugiej strony respekt, szacunek i podziw, za sprawą tego samego. Albumy to niełatwe, często budzące skrajne emocje. By nie szukać daleko wystarczy wspomnieć relatywnie niedawno wydany „Vitriseptome”, czy odrobinę dawniej „Lunaterial”. Albumy to na tyle rozpoznawalne, że nazw artystów przytaczać chyba nie muszę. (Czytaj dalej...)

TYRANN zapowiadają trzecią płytę

 

On May 22nd internationally, Dying Victims Productions and Electric Assault Records will release the highly anticipated third album of Sweden's Tyrann, Tyrann Forever: Dying Victims will handle the CD version while Electric Assault will handle the vinyl version.

Since their formation in 2018, Sweden’s Tyrann have quickly become a gold standard for rustic, turn-of-the-‘80s hard-rockin’ heavy metal…or perhaps that should be “heavy metalling hard rock”? Either way, the quartet have handily transcended their esteemed pedigree – members do or have done time in the likes of Enforcer and Tribulation – across two full-lengths, 2021’s Djävulens musik and 2023’s Besatt, both showing acute focus and finesse but all done with a seemingly effortless air and a touch of evil.

Now, Tyrann return with arguably their best record yet, Tyrann Forever. Aptly titled, Tyrann Forever sees the Swedes running through their whole arsenal – thunder & lightning heavy metal, straight-between-the-eyes hard rock, moody & magickal AOR, and the galloping early Maiden-gone-punk of their earliest days – with an aplomb that’s patient and breathless simultaneously. The songwriting’s as taut as it comes, with eight songs spanning a half-hour, but Tyrann pack each to the gills with hooks that are stripped-down yet sublime. That they can somehow take garage ethics to stadium dynamics circa 1981 is some strange alchemy, to be sure, but it only serves to make their already-intimate personality that much more ingratiating. Tyrann Forever? Fucking indeed!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Born for Hell" HERE at Electric Assault's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Tyrann (Sweden)'s Tyrann Forever

1. Born for Hell [3:05]

2. Tyrann Forever [3:26]

Nowy kawałek od HIGHGATE

 

Kentucky's Doom laden Sludge lords, HIGHGATE, have released "Death Comes," the second single from forthcoming album, Prophecies of Eternal Horror! Stream it now on Bandcamp and YouTube.

Emanating from the hills of Northern Kentucky, HIGHGATE unleash a Sludge filled, Doom laden yowl that speaks of years of struggle and despair. Prophecies Of Eternal Horror finds the dead bodies stacking to the sky as HIGHGATE grapple with global war atrocities, religious fanaticism and class warfare.

HIGHGATE previously shared the album's first single, "At Paranoia’s Poison Door." The song is described as a blackened-doom battle cry against an overreaching government that wants us too scared to think or act for ourselves. The lyrical refrain of “crawl to your masters” speaks to the song's theme of government capability to brainwash citizens into cowering boot-lickers. Stream the song now at youtu.be/_CQJ2x6vwHc.

For fans of Grief, Primitive Man, Mizmor, Eyehategod and Rwake. Stream more from HIGHGATE on Spotify.

Prophecies Of Eternal Horror is set to be released on March 27.

Singiel od FABLE

 

On May 22nd internationally, Dying Victims Productions will release the striking debut EP of Spain's Fable, Long Hath the Night Dwelt, on CD and 12" vinyl formats. And today, Deaf Forever magazine's website premieres a promo medley of the EP. Hear Fable's EP promo medley exclusively HERE.

Fable started as a solo-project by Jose Soler (Phantom Spell, Chantrice) influenced by ‘70s and ‘80s hard rock and heavy metal – a list as varied and idiosyncratic as Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Pagan Altar, Ashbury, and Hällas – along with hints of old US metal. Duly girded, the band bring forth their public debut, Long Hath the Night Dwelt.

An actually-narrated prelude sets the stage for a cautionary tale about class struggle and revolution, Fable indeed using fables and stories as a medium to tell an expansive story of the woodsfolk dominated under the iron claw of “The Owl.” Despite the breadth of that story, the band’s debut EP is exceptionally compact at five tracks in 22 minutes, moving with a simmering patience that’s heavy on mood and dynamic in its restraint. Never overdriven nor busy, warm and intimate but with a psychic distance that seems impossibly ancient, Fable very much evoke the perhaps-centuries-old folklore that seems so central to their rustic rock; the wise-sage vocals almost seem an afterthought when the narrative flow of the music starts winding and wending like smoke from a tavern fireplace, so illustrative is its hushed power. However, each element here is equally important, and all work together to form a totality that’s unfussy but hewn with class and care.

And this is just the start of this Fable: discover for yourself how Long Hath the Night Dwelt!

In the meantime, hear a promo medley of the EP exclusively HERE, courtesy of Deaf Forever, Germany's defenders of the true. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Fable (Spain)'s Long Hath the Night Dwelt

Debiut COGADH do odsłuchu

 

BLACK METAL BAND ‘COGADH’ RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM ‘KINGMAKER’

(Listen on Spotify)

Black metal band COGADH release debut album ‘KINGMAKER. ’ The album pushes the band’s established boundaries of traditional but melodic black metal by incorporating a variety of vocal styles and acoustic folk instruments.

COGADH is a two-man group that hails from Ontario and Quebec, with Ira handling both guitars and bass while Alex takes on the drums and vocals. The duo formed the band in 2021 and quickly released their debut EP, ‘Runetongue,’ in 2022. The group has performed live across Ontario and Quebec with the help from guest musicians, with plans to reach new lands in the future.

‘KINGMAKER,’ walks a different path to the typical framework of black metal through the use of Irish whistles, accordion, and atmospheric sound effects recorded in the woods of Quebec.

„Ride the Apocalypse”

Svart Rec. 2026

Nooo, tego się po Svart Records nie spodziewałem. Nie, żeby nagle Finowie zajęli się muzyką z gatunku pop, ale punkowego grania w ich katalogu zbyt wiele jednak nie ma. A Holenderski Vitamin X to właśnie taki band będący swoistym crossoverem. Znaczy się, poza wspomnianym punkiem, wtłaczającym w swoje kompozycje sporo hard core’a czy klasycznego thrashu. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Wayfarer”

High Roller Records 2026

Kerrigan to kapela, która gra od 2019 roku. Składa się z czterech muzyków, którzy pochodzą z Freiburga im Breisgau. Zatem to niemiecka brygada, która po trzech latach od wydania debiutanckiego krążka, wraca z kolejnym. Panowie rzeźbią w tradycyjnym heavy metalu, którego charakter jest dość delikatny i kojarzy się z typowymi przebojami gitarowymi, jakie można usłyszeć w radio czy zobaczyć w telewizji. (Czytaj dalej...)

GOATPSALM zapowiadają nowy album

 

On April 10th internationally, Aesthetic Death is proud to present GOATPSALM's new opus "Beneath" on CD format.

The first single "Heart Of Damballah Wedo" is now streaming HERE.

It has been a full decade since the last full length, the highly acclaimed “Downstream” - a decade plighted by personal issues, creative block and…..just life.

Whilst, at times, it seemed that a new GOATPSALM album might never arrive. Through sheer stubborn determination it is here – and is more than worth the wait.

The band have constantly evolved – moving from the industrial electroambient of “Sonic Desterilization of Light” (2012), the blackened chaos of “Erset La Tari” (2012), or the funeral ambient doom leanings of “Downstream” (2016).

“Beneath” is no exception, crafting their strongest material to date within an obscure ritual trance. Forging an album that is built from their past but evolves into new sounds – falling somewhere within sounds of ethnic, ritual, trance-like doom metal.

But, be certain, GOATPSALM have a unique sound and approach – servants to nobody.

Embrace the ritual.

Tracklist:

1- Veve Of Smoke And Rum

2- Heart Of Damballah Wedo

3- Spit Soil

4- Kalbas Whispers Of Death

5- Exequies

Trzeci CAVE DWELLER za miesiąc

 

On April 10th internationally, Aesthetic Death is proud to present CAVE DWELLER's new opus "showing teeth" on CD format.

The first single "Amanita Bisporigera" is now streaming HERE.

“showing teeth” is the third installment in the CAVE DWELLER experience.

To those familiar with CAVE DWELLER’s previous albums, “showing teeth” might feel something of a shift in impetus. Albeit a natural shift, that gives the necessary audial picture to the themes portrayed in the novel that underpins this trilogy of albums.

Bryant seamlessly develops and interweaves his sounds and narratives into an exciting and encapsulating album. One which stands alone – but also works together as part of this trilogy.

With clear elements of the dark/neo folk that flowed more liberally through the previous albums – “showing teeth” also brings a new level of visceral intensity, there is a heaviness and gritty angst that isn’t so obvious within the first albums. In Bryant’s other projects (pando, Unfold etc), there is an empathy towards drone, experimental and doomy/sludgy tones – all of which are more more prevalent on “showing teeth” – with an almost Neurosis-style-vibe flowing through the album.

Featuring the spoken words of Ariel Bryant and Stuart Harris (Sect 37, Hivemind), both of whom add an exciting dimension to this CAVE DWELLER work.

Anyone who has enjoyed previous material from Bryant – whether through the mediums of pando, Unfold or CAVE DWELLER – will certainly find “showing teeth” to be an exciting and enduring listen.

Tracklist:

1- The Savage Face of Tekoa

2- Appalachian Alchemy

3- Sunirse Offering (The Valley as an Altar)

4- Amanita Bisporigera

5- Panacea
