No,
kurwa, w końcu się ogarnęli! Materiał na drugi album Wrath Division był gotowy
już od jakiegoś czasu (w sumie to powstał zaraz po debiucie), ale chłopaki nie
mogli zabrać się za wokale. Albo może zmobilizować śpiewaka do ich nagrania. No
to pozmieniali mu cyferki w pseudonimie, po czym poszło już z górki, i oto mamy
„Cremation Grounds Abyss”. Mało jest na polskiej ziemi grania warmetalowego,
dlatego na to wydawnictwo czekałem bardzo niecierpliwie. (Czytaj dalej...)
Panowie z Vingulmork nie
rozpieszczają swą twórczością, ponieważ „Barmhjertighetens Fallitt” to w ich
czternastoletniej karierze dopiero drugi krążek. Zawiera on dwanaście numerów z
czego trzy to krótkie zapychacze, a reszta to już poczerniony thrash metal o
dużej dawce melodyki. Generalnie do niczego nie można się tu za bardzo
przyczepić. (Czytaj dalej...)

SHORES OF NULL, one of Europe's most distinctive voices in melancholic extreme metal, have released "Two Mountains", the latest single from their forthcoming album "Homesick", due out on October 16th, 2026 via Dusktone.
Particularly immediate and melodic, the track stands among the record's most instantly memorable moments, built around a strong melodic pull that makes it especially catchy without compromising the emotional depth at the core of the band's music. "Two Mountains" showcases SHORES OF NULL's ability to sharpen their songwriting around memorable hooks while retaining the weight, melancholy and atmospheric richness that have become central to their identity.
Up from the grave and into the night, Chile's STRIGOI thrash into new life with a CD repress of their 2024 debut album "Black Magic Fumes", released by Dawnbreed Records on September 11th, 2026.
With a distinctly South American sound, something extreme that doesn't adhere to a single genre point between death, thrash and black metal, STRIGOI's debut album is sheer aggression, but under a spooky, haunted facade.
Bewitched and heavily metallic, "Black Magic Fumes" is an album dedicated to being as metal as it could possibly be. Trilling and spinechilling riffwork, shrieking vocals and a pummeling rhythm section all combine into a horrific, and yet memorable sound. This isn't about being a frostbitten hermit, nor is it about being a basketball-shorted Floridian— the zombified STRIGOI bring their absolute A-game of genre-indistinct, aggressive metal. And that's how it should be: making metal for metal's sake. Zero irony, nothing "post-", and certainly nothing groundbreaking; STRIGOI are here to rock your faces off.
Breathing new life into their debut two years later, STRIGOI's revisitation of "Black Magic Fumes" is an exhilarating one. Dawnbreed Records will internationally release "Black Magic Fumes" on CD (run of 300 copies) on September 11th, 2026.
The album’s vinyl edition is also available via Ixiol Productions.
On their 5th full-length, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET
inject the feral obscurity of avant-primitivist Black Metal into
cinematic Darkjazz, in a dramatic expansion of the project’s inimitable
musical language.
Following-up 2022's shadowed and contemplative DMP debut, "Miserere", and 2023's "The Horror Cosmic" (released via Denovali), Jason Köhnen (BONG-RA, THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE, THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID, CELESTIAL SEASON) now presents "Penance (De lijken van de Gebroeders De Witt)" – a morbid and unsettling reflection upon a 1675 work by School of Amsterdam painter Jan Baen, which is used as the forthcoming album's cover art:
THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET - "Penance" tracklist:
01. Si Quaeris
02. Symbolom Apostolorum
03. Anima Christi
04. Requiem Aeternam
05. Confiteor
06. Te Deum
In 1672, the De Witt
brothers were beaten, mutilated and hanged before a crowd for alleged
treason. It is said that the observers themselves committed acts of
cannibalism with the brothers' severed body parts. The event and
subsequent painting by Jan Baen offers a reflection on incredible human barbarism that has always profoundly affected Köhnen.
As an introduction, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET present 'Si Quaeris' as the first and only single from the forthcoming album.
Listen below to a potent fusion of nocturnal Chamber Opera, lo-fi Black Metal, Darkjazz and Electronic experimentation:
Today, Osmose Productions announces October 30th as the international release date for Radbraker's striking debut album, When the mist falls..., on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Radbraker bring life from the countryside. Where things are blunt, harsh, and honest as hammer and axe. This can be felt throughout the concept album When the mist falls…
Inhale the goat scent whilst you are taken through different phases of life in suppression. Despair, anger, hate and - when the mist falls… - elevation through battle!
First track premiere to be revealed on October 1st. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Radbraker's When the mist falls...
The Swedish Black Metal band TROLLDOM was founded 2004 in the deep woods of Småland by guitarist/composer Swartadauþuz (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ, MUVITIUM, AZELISASSATH, GREVE). Four years after simultaneous twin debut albums "Av gudars ätt..." and "I nattens sken (Genom hemligheternas dunkel)", we can now announce an incoming third opus of deeply reverent second-wave Black Metal power.
"Tronen" features six tracks of addictive and darkly melodic Swedish Black Metal excellence, honouring the glory days between 1995 and 1998 when so many classics were released.
Tracklist:
01. Tidens Evighet
02. Dräpt ur Dunkel
03. I Völvans Spår
04. Etter Falla…
05. Ulvarnas Kall
06. Dödens Släktled Stiga
"Tronen" was composed October 2023 and recorded 2023-2024 by Swartadauþuz (guitars and keyboards) with the following session members:
Thorn – vocals
Graf Nuzawandils (MARTRÖÐ) – keyboards
Sortilege – bass
K. Paradis (BELPHEGOR) – drums
All music was written by Swartadauþuz, while Lik (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ) penned the lyrics. The album was mixed and mastered in early 2025 by S.D.S. (AVERSIO HUMANITATIS) at The Empty Hall Studios.
The aptly mesmeric cover artwork was created by Greallach (PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS).
TROLLDOM now present 'Etter Falla…' as the first and only preview track from the forthcoming storm: a perfect synthesis of melodic prowess and grim force via stirring progressions, anthemic leads, evocative vocals and majestic synth.
Deconstructing Sequence unveils a devastating video for the track “The Undying Void,” taken from their latest full-length, Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora, which was released last November via Black Lion Records. The album leans into undiscovered realms of black metal but also pushes even further forward into progressive and avant-garde territories. As an explosive reminder of what the new album encompasses, Deconstructing Sequence deliver a striking video for an unhinged and thoroughly heart-hammering song. The video was recorded at Two Shots Studio and produced by Łukasz Grosik from Remedy Brand.
“Łukasz Grosik perfectly captured the atmosphere behind the song and the band, showing a very dark, destructive vision,” states the band. “A vision that we, as Deconstructing Sequence, will follow.”

Stockholm (SE) - After a decade since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album Seraphical Euphony, Melodic Black/Death Metal band Hyperion are proud to announce the upcoming Willowtip release of Elysia! The album is out November 6 on CD, 2xLP, and digital formats.

Po
wydanym w zeszłym roku demosie “Covered In the Priests Black Shit”, miałem
cichą nadzieję, że nagranie drugiego albumu Niemcom nie zajmie wiele czasu. I
tak się faktycznie stało, bo panowie z Essen (po naszemu „jeść”), po zmianie
barw klubowych, wracają z nowym długograjem. No, żeby on był faktycznie długi,
to bym nie powiedział, bowiem jest to pięć kompozycji, a których jedna
długaśna, ponad dziesięciominutowa, nie przekraczających zusammen nawet pół
godziny. (Czytaj dalej...)
Zainteresowani i
oczekujący na nowy album od Romana Saenko, już niedługo będą mogli się nim
cieszyć, bo pod koniec września będzie on już dostępny. Czwarty album od
Ukraińców jest jakby ostrzejszy niż ostatnia epka. Mniej tutaj melancholijnych
momentów czy refleksyjnych odjazdów, za to więcej ofensywnych form zarówno w
warstwie wokalnej jak i instrumentalnej. (Czytaj dalej...)
Toilet Ov Hell hosts the premiere of "Grave Reveries", the new single from Finnish death metal outfit HEKATOXEN, taken from their forthcoming debut full-length, "Obsidian Majesty", due out on October 2nd, 2026 via Nuclear Winter Records on LP and CD.
Following the previously released "Lost Souls Epitome", "Grave Reveries" offers another glimpse into the album and further demonstrates how HEKATOXEN have developed the raw foundation established on their "Utter Darkness" EP.
The track is built around the band's trademark razor-edged riffing and a forceful rhythm section, but its impact comes from the way HEKATOXEN keep the music moving rather than simply piling on heaviness. Sharp guitar work, measured changes in pace and clearly defined song structures give "Grave Reveries" a strong sense of momentum, while the band's Finnish death metal roots remain unmistakable.
