Recenzja Bloodsoaked Necrovoid „Bloodsoaked Necrovoid”

 Bloodsoaked Necrovoid

„Bloodsoaked Necrovoid”

Iron Bonehead 2026

Przez chwilę nie było u nas nic o Bloodsoaked Necrovoid. Ale nie dlatego, że się na nich pogniewaliśmy. Zespół kilka lat po prostu milczał, a zawirowania personalne sprawiły, że lider przeniósł się do Hiszpanii, gdzie dokoptował sobie do składu dwóch nowych  muzyków (zresztą żadnych żółtodziobów, ale nie będę tu rzucał nazwami). W tak odświeżonej formie powstała dwuutoworowa EP-ka, zatytułowana po prostu „Bloodsoaked Necrovoid”. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Piołun „Exolvuntur”

 Piołun

„Exolvuntur”

Malignant Voices 2026

Lubię od czasu do czasu zjeść coś gorzkiego, a że to ziele pomaga na niestrawność i wspomaga wątrobę, to tym bardziej byłem ciekawyjak smakuje Piołun z Lublina. Czy najnowsza, druga płyta tej kapeli równie dobrze działa na organizm jak jego roślinny odpowiednik? Ano, wszystko zależy od dawki, bo jak wiadomo zioła tego nie należy stosować zbyt długo, bo staje się trujące i tak też jest w przypadku „Exolvuntur”. (Czytaj dalej...)

Numer z debiutanckiej EP-ki FOURNIER

 


Today, Kiwi death metallers Fournier premiere the new track "Cast Adrift" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut EP, Fournier, now set for international release on June 3rd via Caligari Records on CD and cassette tape formats. Hear Fournier's "Cast Adrift" in its entirety HERE.

Fournier hail from New Zealand, and began writing and recording their debut demo throughout 2023-2025. Apathetic toward ongoing stylistic and production trends in death metal, the trio seek a more fundamental approach to the form. Inspired by pioneers such as Morbid Angel, Immolation, and Timeghoul but also contemporary artists like Hyperdontia, Phrenelith, and Engulfed, Fournier create tense, violent, and overwhelmingly oppressive DEATH METAL. The four tracks captured on Fournier explore themes of societal and environmental oppression and collapse while positing a non-dualistic understanding of existence. At nearly 20 minutes in length, the dark labyrinths Fournier create here lay an estimable foundation for more mind-melting in the near future.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Cast Adrift" exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSingging.com. Also hear the previously revealed "Supreme Ornaments" HERE at Caligari's Bandcamp, where the EP can also be preordered. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Moros „Cemetery Hallucinations”

 Moros

„Cemetery Hallucinations”

Morbid Chapel 2026

No to jeszcze jedna nowinka z Morbid Chapel, tym razem w postaci amerykańskiego Moros. Spójrzcie na logo? Co widzicie? Bo mi się skojarzenia z Coffins nasuwają momentalnie. I szybko się okazuje, że nie bezpodstawnie. Panowie gniotą death / doom, przy czym słowo „gniotą” jest tutaj jak najbardziej zamierzone. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Ivoire „Uragano”

 Ivoire

„Uragano”

Independent 2026

Ivoire jest kapelą z Włoch, która właśnie wydaje swój debiutancki album. Nie są chyba szerzej znani, bo żadnych, bliższych informacji o nich nie znalazłem, ale też zbyt głęboko nie szukałem. Mniejsza z tym. Panowie grają przytłaczającą fuzję black i sludge metalu, do której dokładają sporo elementów znanych z ujęć typu „post”. (Czytaj dalej...)

Zapowiedź nowego FATE UNBURIED

 


Italian progressive death metal outfit FATE UNBURIED return today with a brand new track, “Garden”, while also revealing the cover artwork and full tracklist of their upcoming album “Neraspeme”, set for release on October 16th, 2026 via Time To Kill Records.

“Garden” further expands the band’s increasingly layered sonic identity, moving through contrasting emotional states with a fluid yet unpredictable approach. The track alternates between aggressive, mechanical and martial-driven sections and more open, subdued passages marked by a melancholic undertone, reflecting the band’s evolving focus on dynamic contrast and atmosphere.

Alongside the new single, FATE UNBURIED unveil the visual and structural framework of “Neraspeme”, a record shaped by constant transformation and shifting tension. The album’s tracklist and artwork point toward a work that embraces instability as a compositional principle, where heaviness and introspection coexist rather than oppose each other.

With “Neraspeme”, the band continue to refine a progressive death metal language built on intricate arrangements, emotional depth and a strong atmospheric core, positioning the album as their most complete and multifaceted statement to date.

Nowy MORGAL w czerwcu

 

Today, Werewolf Records announces June 26th as the international release date for Morgal's highly anticipated second album, The Seventh Circle, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

It was but five, seemingly-long years ago when Finland's Morgal finally released their debut album, Nightmare Lord. That full-length had high expectations behind it, given that the band's self-titled debut EP in 2018 had burst these exceptionally young men (two members were not yet in their 20s) onto the international metal map with a blitzkrieg of excitement. Nightmare Lord, by comparison, had reigned in a bit of Morgal's original, off-the-rails flavor in favor of stronger, more METAL songwriting and a more polished & professional production. Not for nothing did the legendary Joe Petagno grace the album with exclusive cover artwork.

In the interim, Morgal saw the arrival of two new members: vocalist / bassist Tomb Nekrofiler and second guitarist Killhammer. With founding members Crusher (guitar) and SS Exiler (drums) anchoring the attack, the now-quartet return with their second album, The Seventh Circle. Ironically, this new blood has helped Morgal return to their sulfurous, blitzed-to-fuck origins - only now, tempered with the ageless wisdom of heavy metal. Right after its brief intro, The Seventh Circle fucking ATTACKS and draws you down, a layer / circle at a time, into an abyss of black metal magick that's more incendiary than ever. The rhythm section goes way off the rails, a maelstrom of INRI by way of Devil's Force, but somehow sounds more deliberate in its intensity: fully human and fully possessed, yes, but also fully finessed. The twin-guitar attack truly intensifies Morgal's latently ripping-yet-melodic style, with both six-stringers trading blood-boiling leads and solos with gibbering abandon. And even with all this full-throttle electricity, the quartet have honed their steel to include well-timed downshifts into tundra-marching territory. The album's six primary songs slay with a memorability that's surprising given how relatively epic they are in length - and again, with such bazooka-blown power behind them.

Where Morgal had drawn forth a blue-purple spirit on their first full-length, with The Seventh Circle do they squarely reside in the lungs of Hell: all fire, all the fucking time.

In the meantime, hear the previously revealed track "Stormchaser" HERE at Werewolf's official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
