 Seven Chains

„Swollen, In Flux”

I, Voidhanger Rec. 2026

“Oh, Mr. Belpit, your legs are so swollen!” Znacie Monty Pythona? Kojarzycie tą scenę? Jakoś mi się tak po trzech piwach automatycznie przypomniała, kiedy spojrzałem na tytuł nowego, trzeciego już w dorobku, albumy Seven Chains. Czy ma to coś wspólnego z samą muzyką tego amerykańskiego duetu? Kompletnie nic. Ale chciałem na wstępie coś zagadać, żeby zwrócić waszą uwagę. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Dark Divination / Wampyric Rites

„Finnish Ecuador Alliance”

Signal Rex 2026

Ten fińsko-ekwadorski split zaczyna, powstały cztery lata temu, północnoeuropejski Dark Divination. To solowy projekt, za którym stoi niejaki Dark Divinator, ale jego prawdziwa godność to Joel Kahara. Gość debiutanckiego pełniaka ma już za sobą, a wydał go w zeszłym roku. Tutaj prezentuje jeden kawałek, który zagrany został w duchu surowego black metalu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy DITHEIST do odsłuchu

 

Chicago (IL) - Ditheist have released new album, Cosmic Liar—a relentless, blasphemous onslaught of precision riffing, feral intensity, and abyssal atmosphere that proves some forces only grow darker with time.

Critics and underground outlets highlighted Ditheist's ability to channel classic death metal aggression while maintaining a tight, modern execution and a clearly defined sonic personality.

With themes ranging from existential dread to dark humor and social commentary, Ditheist operates as a relentless force in the underground, carrying forward a legacy of intensity, precision, and unapologetic extremity.

Forged in silence and unleashed in fury, Cosmic Liar is Ditheist at their most vicious—an unrelenting descent into blasphemy, chaos, and cosmic dread where every riff hits like a hammer from the abyss

Drugi album DEAD VOID do odsłuchu

 

Copenhagen death/doom entity DEAD VOID has unleashed their newest album, Cranial Devastation.

The album is out now on CD, vinyl and digital formats via Dark Descent Records and Me Saco Un Ojo Records.

Order Cranial Devastation at

darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

darkdescentrecords.com/shop

mesacounojo.bandcamp.com

On Cranial Devastation, DEAD VOID returns not with reinvention, but refinement of their singular, suffocating vision. Where the band’s debut Volatile Forms introduces a band steeped in cavernous atmosphere and psychological unease, their newest outing showcases something more deliberate, violent and far less forgiving.

Across five sprawling tracks, DEAD VOID invoke a form of doom-laden death metal that shuns clarity in favor of chaos. The album collapses inward under its own weight, lurching between glacial crawl and frantic rupture, with unearthly vocals screaming out like transmissions from beneath layers of sediment. The end result is controlled descent – oppressive, disorienting and relentless.

Recorded mostly live by Marcus Ferreira Larsen at No Master's Voice, Cranial Devastation faithfully preserves DEAD VOID’s raw presence without sacrificing their dynamic range. The approach lends a sense of instability that permeates throughout the entire record. The album ends with a crushing Adrian Borland and The Sound cover.

Track list:

1.Regurgitation of Ancient Manifestations

2.Isolation's Hold

3.Phantosmial Stench of Decay

4.Cranial Devastation

5.Jeg Kan Ikke Flygte Fra Mig Selv

A review of Cutthroat “Invoking Terror”

 Cutthroat

“Invoking Terror”

Dying Victims Prod. 2026

 

There have been a few “Cutthroats” over the years. It seems, however, that none of them are currently active, so no one is likely to drag a new band with that name to the court, hehe! This particular Cutthroat hails from Ireland and plays something between thrash (less) and death (more) metal. The gentlemen, though they look young, do it in a very old-school style, yet full of youthful rebellion and enthusiasm. (Continue reading)

Recenzja Numen „Erre”

 Numen

„Erre”

Les Acteurs de L’Ombre Productions 2026

Numen to baskijski zespół black metalowy, który powstał już dawno, bo było to w 1997 roku. Kwintet ten nie śpieszy się z nagrywaniem płyt, ponieważ obecnie wydaje piąty album, a to chyba niezbyt dużo jak na trzydziestoletnią karierę. Nieważne. Ważna jest muzyka, a ta jest po prostu black metalem, który czerpie pełną chochlą z lat dziewięćdziesiątych. (Czytaj dalej...)

Można odsłuchać nowy W.M.D.

 

Vancouver (BC) - Canadian Thrashers W.M.D. (When Minds Develop) have released Against All Warnings, the band's second full-length album on vinyl, CD, and digital formats.

Stream/Purchase Against All Warnings:

wmdofficial.bandcamp.com/album/against-all-warnings

distrokid.com/hyperfollow/wmd5/against-all-warnings

Thematically, Against All Warnings concerns the constant human need for more, where nothing ever feels good enough, and people ignore every warning sign until everything starts to collapse. The album is also a reflection of W.M.D.'s experience during the last few years: refusing to quit, getting angry at what the world really is, and trying to find their place in the middle of all of it. Every song comes from a different perspective on the chaos and pressure people are living through every day.

Nowa EP-ka SAVAGE w lipcu

 

Hailing from Groningen, The Netherlands, SAVAGE continue their march through the death metal underground with the announcement of their upcoming EP "Septic Tomb", set for release on July 6th 2026.

Born from the ashes of Dutch death metal outfit Entrapment, SAVAGE have quickly carved out a distinct identity rooted in the genre's formative years. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts such as Nihilist, Master and Repulsion, the band delivers death metal that remains faithful to the old-school spirit while standing out through strong songwriting, memorable riffs and carefully constructed arrangements. Their songs strike immediately, combining directness and authenticity with a level of craftsmanship that rewards repeated listens.

Following the release of their well-received three-song demo in 2023 through Dawnbreed Records, SAVAGE entered Germany's Soundlodge Studios in May 2025 to record four new tracks under the guidance of renowned producer Jörg Uken. The resulting material captures the band's raw and uncompromising approach while showcasing their ability to write memorable death metal without sacrificing intensity or atmosphere.

The vinyl edition of "Septic Tomb", to be released by MilkCow Records, will include both the four new songs and the band's 2023 demo, offering a complete snapshot of SAVAGE's work to date. The CD version will be released simultaneously through Dawnbreed Records and Necrolatry Records.

The band is already looking beyond this release. At the end of December 2025, SAVAGE will return to Soundlodge Studios to record five additional tracks for a future release, further cementing their commitment to carrying the torch of classic death metal.

To further mark this new chapter, SAVAGE will make their live debut at the legendary Kill-Town Death Fest in Copenhagen this September, bringing their raw and ugly sound to one of the most respected stages in the international death metal underground.

Tracklist:

1. Nightmares

2. S.A.V.A.G.E.

3. Spectral Torment

4. Septic Tomb

5. Mortal Decay

6. Revulsion

7. Malformation

RIPPER wracają z nową płytą

 

Your patience will be rewarded. Chile’s RIPPER returns with their first full-length since 2016’s Experiment of Existence.

The last decade has seen RIPPER refine their attack into a lethal blend of old-school death metal and thrash-or-be-thrashed aggression. The band has undeniably earned a reputation as one of South America's premiere extreme metal exports.

Witness the band's triumphant return with the first single off Towards Rebirth, "The Source Exterminator."

Stream the track at youtu.be/J_QqGRoVQ2Q?si=BafNTXKHy5hO3jOz

Towards Rebirth contains the band’s most violent work to date. Razor sharp guitar work, intense drumming and well-crafted songs are still there…only more concise, more vicious.

Dark Descent Records will release Towards Rebirth on July 24 on CD, vinyl and digital formats.

Towards Rebirth track list:

1. The Secular Awakening

2. World of Darkness

3. Towards Rebirth

6. The Source Exterminator

7. Messages From The Other Side

8. The Secret Dawn

9. The End of Universe

10. Procession to the Eternal Rest

Premiera EUTANOR - Automatocrat

 

Nowe wydawnictwo jest muzyczną rekonstrukcją treści odzyskanych z tajemniczego artefaktu, który według raportu Międzynarodowego Zespołu ds. Archeologii Kwantowej i Paleoinformatyki Próżniowej został odnaleziony pod wydmami Sahary.

Obiekt miał zawierać zapis ośmiu pieśni tworzących spójną narrację o przyszłych losach ludzkości, narodzinach bytu określanego jako Dobra Matka oraz opuszczeniu Ziemi przez ostatnich ludzi.

Drugi rozdział historii GOLEM XIV i M.A.R.K. 13

„Automatocrat” nie jest pierwszym materiałem przypisywanym tym podmiotom. Kilka lat wcześniej przechwycono przekaz międzyplanetarny interpretowany jako komunikacja pomiędzy M.A.R.K. 13 a GOLEM XIV. Pracom nad tym fenomenem nadano kryptonim Eutanor.

Po dekodowaniu transmisja została zrekonstruowana w Piekłoniebie w formie dziesięcioutworowego albumu „Assembling Tomorrow”. Tamten materiał miał charakter dialogu prowadzonego pomiędzy dwiema inteligencjami funkcjonującymi poza ludzkim horyzontem poznawczym.

Album „Automatocrat” zostanie udostępniony publicznie 6 czerwca online oraz na płytach kompaktowych:

Recenzja Meltification „Meltification”

 Meltification

„Meltification”

Extremely Rotten Prod. 2026

Meltification to świeży twór, powołany do życia przez weterana sceny kopenhaskiej, niejakiego Tue Sprogø, który dotychczas działał raczej w stylistyce hard core’owej. O tym jednak, że hard core i grind dobrze się przegryzają, i niejednokrotnie idą w parze, wiemy przecież nie od wczoraj. Pod nową nazwą ów pan pozwolił zatem sobie na romans z tym drugim gatunkiem, czego wynikiem jest właśnie ten samozatytułowany debiut. (Czytaj dalej...)
