Druga płyta CURSEBINDER za niecałe dwa miesiące

 

Formed in Kraków in 2019, Cursebinder set out to dissolve the lines between extreme metal and just about anything else. The self-produced demo EP (2020) announced the intention; the debut full-length Drifting (Avantgarde Music, 2023) delivered on it, with forty minutes of haunting atmosphere, nuanced guitar work and shifting rhythms that earned the band a reputation for music impossible to pin down and difficult to forget.

Three years later, Psychohazard is a force with no shape and no mercy. The second full-length by Cursebinder hits harder and cuts deeper than anything they’ve done yet. Their latest release sees the band push for a more introspective, organic and life-affirming direction, circling the existential clash between the urban rat race and the human desire for love and connection.

At its center is raw human experience with all its contradictions; its veins overflow with a burning desire to look ever closer at the intangible forces that drive our lives. The band smashes their way through eight tracks of demolishing riffs dissolving into hazy atmospheres, jazz-inflected drift surfacing from the dark and layered rhythms drenched in pure psychedelic rage, baring their souls to those willing to listen.

Their commitment to the ideas, unrelenting emotional power and the intensity of their live shows spill all over this record. So does everything else. Unpredictable, elemental and intimate, Psychohazard is an invitation to ask the questions we’ve been avoiding.

Avantgarde Music will help Cursebinder find the proper answers starting October, 23rd, 2026.

Recenzja Magic Cross „Magic Cross”

„Magic Cross”

Caligari Rec. 2026

Jak tylko zobaczyłem fotkę promocyjną Magic Cross, wiedziałem, że muszę tego posłuchać. Hellhammer w dresie, Inspektor Gadget, kolo z wąsem na Adolfa, i gruby pokazujący faka, stojący w jakimś minikraterze (zapewne przed chwilą podskoczył). Dobra, żarty żartami, pośmiać się można (sam się z siebie często narywam), ale pod względem muzycznym to już powodu do żartów nie ma. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Rahaty

„Bestial Lustmord”

Sentient Ruin Laboratories 2026

Rahaty to kapela z Białorusi, za którą stoi muzyk, odpowiadający za inny projekt, a mianowicie Pa Vesh En. Jak wiadomo pod macierzystym szyldem, tworzy czarcią surowiznę, natomiast tutaj robi coś podobnego, tyle że w death metalowym tonie. To co płynie z głośników, po włączeniu tego debiutanckiego albumu od Rahaty, to tony gruzu, piachu i żużlu (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy numer SKUMSTRIKE

 

Today, Canadian speed metallers Skumstrike premiere the new track "Mastery of Sin" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the third to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, Flawless Intrigue From Hell, set for international release on September 25th via Dying Victims Productions. Hear Skumstrike's "Mastery of Sin" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Singiel od POWER FROM HELL

 

Today, Brazilian black metallers Power From Hell reveal the new track "Psalm of Corruption." The track is the first to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated eighth album, Primordial Disobedience, which will be released later this year by Hells Headbangers on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. Hear Power From Hell's "Psalm of Corruption" in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.

For over 25 years now, Power From Hell have been flying the flag for ancient black metal. Led by founding vocalist / guitarist Sodomic, the band's first four albums spanning 2004-2011 established the Brazilians as staunch purveyors of vintage violence, depthless darkness, and straightforward simplicity. In 2015, the band aligned with Hells Headbangers for the release of Devil's Whorehouse, which brought this sound to a boil while simultaneously expanding their ghostly aura. Thereafter, Power From Hell released two more albums, 2019's Profound Evil Essence and 2022's Shadows Devouring Light, both of which saw a certain maturity and a shedding of older, comparatively archaic skin.

Now, more than a decade later, Power From Hell return to Hells Headbangers for the release of their eighth album. "Returning to Hells Headbangers feels very special to us, states Sodomic. "Hells Headbangers has always represented a very important part of the extreme underground, and being back with the label for Primordial Disobedience feels like returning to a place where the music can be presented exactly as it was meant to be." Provocatively titled Primordial Disobedience, indeed does LP8 show Power From Hell in fine, rule-breaking form. Arguably the band's darkest record thus far, Primordial Disobedience surges and slithers in a most serpentine fashion, fusing sooty atmospheres with challenging song constructions, mesmerizingly melodic riffing with sweat-inducing, almost-sexual tension.

Concluding, Sodomic brings it all back home: "The record is deeply connected to the underground spirit that has always surrounded Power From Hell, and Hells Headbangers understands that world better than almost anyone. We are very proud to be working with them again, and we believe Primordial Disobedience is the kind of record that belongs there - raw, dark, uncompromising, and created without concessions."

Release date, cover, tracklisting, and preorder info to be revealed shortly.

Wywrotka gruzu przyjedzie do Katowic

 

21 listopada powietrze w Katowicach będzie walić stęchlizną do granic możliwości. W klubie Piąty Dom zatrzyma się wtedy trasa Funerary Rites over Europe, której dowodzić będą niemiecki Nekus oraz Bloodsoaked Necrovoid z Kostaryki. Podziemia otworzy stołeczna ekipa Clairvoyance!

Mrok niemieckich krypt i nekro-fascynacja rodem z Kostaryki? Doświadczycie tego na własnej skórze za sprawą dusznego death metalu w wykonaniu Nekus i Bloodsoaked Necrovoid. Pierwsi na swoim koncie mają dwa pełniaki wydane nakładem Sentient Ruin Laboratories, drudzy swój debiut oraz tegoroczną EP-kę wypuścili we współpracy z Iron Bonehead. Oprócz wspólnej trasy death-doomowe ekipy zamierzają przypieczętować swój podziemny pakt splitem, którym zabiorą Was w dół pustki.

Na koncercie w Katowicach towarzyszyć im będzie warszawski Clairvoyance, którego krajowym scenowiczom przedstawiać nie trzeba. Załoga wciąż ogrywa swój wydany w zeszłym roku pod skrzydłami Carbonized Records debiut “Chasm of Immurement”.

Zapraszamy do katowickiej krypty!

Recenzja / A review of Hekatoxen „Obsidian Majesty”

 Hekatoxen

„Obsidian Majesty”

Nuclear Winter Rec. 2026

I jeszcze jedna pozycja z październikowego miotu Nuclear Winter Records. Po bardzo dobrych albumach Morbid Stench i Deconsekrated, Hekatoxen jest już chyba tylko strzałem na dobicie, bo ja się po trzech rundkach z tym krążkiem nie mogę posprzątać z podłogi. Gdybyście zastanawiali się co to za gentlemani, i skąd pochodzą, to w zasadzie kilkanaście pierwszych sekund otwierającego całość „Lost Souls Epitome” rozwiewa wszelkie wątpliwości. (Czytaj dalej... / Read here)

Trzeci krążek KORPSESOTURI w listopadzie

 

Brutal Records is proud to welcome Finnish death metal Nordic country band KORPSESOTURI to its international roster.

The band will release its new full-length album, KORPLISH SEDAMON, worldwide on November 27, 2026, on digital and physical formats.

Coming from the Finnish underground, KORPSESOTURI has been keeping its focus on what death metal is supposed to be: heavy, dark, aggressive, and uncompromising. There is no attempt here to make the music cleaner or more accessible than it needs to be. The band's sound is firmly rooted in old school death metal, with crushing guitar work, powerful drums, deep vocals, and a dark atmosphere that runs through the entire record.

KORPLISH SEDAMON is the next step in a journey that began in 2014. Over the years, KORPSESOTURI has built a reputation within the underground through a series of releases that have stayed true to the band's musical direction. Their approach has remained consistent—play death metal on their own terms and let the music speak for itself.

The album will be available in digital and physical formats.For longtime followers of Finnish death metal, this is another release to put on the radar. For anyone discovering KORPSESOTURI for the first time, KORPLISH SEDAMON is a good place to start.

Nowy WHIPLASH w listopadzie

 

Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of WHIPLASH, welcoming one of American thrash metal's most enduring underground forces to its roster. Led by true underground warrior Tony Portaro, the New Jersey veterans have spent more than four decades keeping the raw spirit of thrash metal alive, inspiring generations of musicians and fans who still believe in the power of riffs, sweat and genuine passion.

The partnership will see WHIPLASH release their new album, "ROAR", on November 27th, 2026. Recorded at Studio Mozart and Concrete Island Studio, produced by Tony Portaro and mixed by Jamie King Audio, the album delivers ten explosive tracks that capture the raw energy of the band's live performances while reflecting Portaro's continued evolution as a songwriter and musician.

Songs such as "Sonic Asylum", "Bullet Train" and "Who Stole My Whiskey" hit with full-force precision: this is thrash crafted for the mosh pit, not the algorithm. "ROAR" offers exactly what one should expect from WHIPLASH: real metal built around riffs, songs and attitude, with no interest in unnecessary embellishment or whatever fashionable nonsense happens to be circulating outside the pit.

The album was initially made available in a strictly limited form during WHIPLASH's European "Campaign for Musical Destruction Tour" with Napalm Death. A small number of CD promos were distributed independently during the tour under the original title "THRASHQUAKE".

The album now receives its official worldwide release through Time To Kill Records, with a new title, brand-new artwork by legendary illustrator Ed Repka, and a global campaign befitting its status.

For Time To Kill Records, bringing WHIPLASH into the fold is a genuine pleasure: few bands embody the idea of uncompromising underground metal quite like Portaro's long-running institution.

Tracklist:

1. Thrashquake

2. Bullet Train

3. Can’t Take Back a Bullet

4. Sword Meet Skull

5. Who Stole My Whiskey

6. When the Deadman Calls

7. Red Tape Riot

8. Mother’s Kill Club

9. Sonic Asylum

10. Graveyard of Good and Evil

BARREN: pierwszy singiel i wideo z nowej płyty

 

Belgijski grind/deathowy BARREN przedstawia Depraved - pierwszy singiel i teledysk z najnowszej płyty Verderf. Następca debiutanckiego I ukaże się we wrześniu nakładem Selfmadegod Records. Szczegóły poniżej.

Utworzony w 2017 roku BARREN to belgijski zespół grindcore’owy, którego skład tworzą obecni i byli członkowie Agathocles, Aborted, Emeth oraz Suppository.

Określając swoją muzykę mianem „chainsaw grind”, zespół czerpie z

charakterystycznego brzmienia przesteru HM-2, kojarzonego ze szwedzkim death metalem, tworząc gęstą i miażdżącą ścianę gitar oraz basu. Bezlitosne blastbeaty i szaleńcze riffy przeplatają się z wybuchami brutalności w średnich tempach oraz ostrymi, nieprzewidywalnymi zmianami tempa.

W 2020 roku BARREN nagrał swój pierwszy materiał w Chainsaw Laboratory, zmiksowany i zmasterowany w Hearse Studios. W 2021 roku zespół własnym sumptem wydał demo oraz dwie EP-ki. Materiał szybko zwrócił uwagę Esagoya Records (JPN), które wydało te nagrania na CD. W tym samym roku Grand Vomit Productions (USA) wydało split z zespołem Berated. Następnie BARREN podpisał kontrakt z Grindhead Records (AUS), co zaowocowało wydaniem debiutanckiego albumu I.

W 2023 roku BARREN pojawił się na kilku znaczących kompilacjach, między innymi Good Guys Go Grind Vol. 2 oraz Noxious Ruin Magazine Vol. 8. Pod wrażeniem wkładu zespołu Noxious Ruin zlecił mu nagranie splitu z niemieckim Vomitspell.

W 2024 roku Selfmadegod Records wydało split BARREN ze szwedzkim grindcore’owym zespołem Sickrecy, który spotkał się z dużym wsparciem międzynarodowej społeczności grindcore’owej. BARREN kontynuował tę passę w 2025 roku, wydając 10" split z Lesser Animal, a później 7" split z Distaste.

Pierwszym zwiastunem Verderf jest teledysk do utworu Depraved. Obejrzyj tutaj
