Recenzja Vomito Mortuorio „Dentro del Sarcofago”

 Vomito Mortuorio

„Dentro del Sarcofago”

Necroscope Blasphemia 2026

 

Jeśli zespół nazywa się Pośmiertne Wymioty, a w tytule debiutu ma „Sarcofago”, to już na starcie ma u mnie wielkiego plusa. Jak jeszcze pochodzi z Salwadoru, to zyskuje dodatkowo, bo wiadomo że tamte zakątki świata niejednokrotnie rodzą metal śmierci najwyższej jakości, a scenę tworzą prawdziwi maniacy. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Dwellers of the Twilight Void”

Hells Headbangers 2026

Niedawno, bo piętnastego maja, swoją drugą płytę wydali amerykańscy specjaliści od niemieckiego thrashu. Panowie kontynuują na nim swoje szaleństwo, z którego wieje Kreatorem i momentami innym Exumerem. Dziesięć numerów, które hołdują batożeniu w stylu lat osiemdziesiątych. (Czytaj dalej...)

Premiera FINALSELF - Liturgy of the Final Self

 

Death metalowy ansambl FinalSelf z Tarnowa debiutuje płytą "Liturgy of the Final Self". Album będzie miał premierę 8 czerwca 2026 roku w portalu Nieczyste Śpiewanie (NO CLEAN SINGING) i od tego dnia będzie go można również nabyć na srebrnym dysku w standardowym jewel case.

Muzykę i teksty napisał Eveq, który nagrał linie wszystkich gitar. W przeszłości a nawet teraźniejszości związany z takimi bandami jak Ingenium, Breath the Void czy Eutanor. W realizacji płyty wsparli go ataman Tolovy (Turin Turambar, Genius Ultor, Mrome czy Stillborn) na wokalu oraz najbardziej chyba zapracowany w krajowej niszy napierdalania bębniarz Krzysztof Klingbein (Totenmesse, Vader, Blephegor).

Nagrania zawierają osiem utworów:The Inheritance of Flame

The Paradox of Eternal Becoming God

Liturgy of the Final Self

Veil of Fractured Reveries [singiel]

Shadows Beyond Redemption

Forlorn Forever Forgotten

Consumed by the Thought Sower

The Sunset

Veil of Fractured Reveries - VIDEO

Jako utwór paradujący przed szeregiem zespół wybrał Veil of Fractured Reveries, który w postaci oficjalnego video można obejrzeć na YT:

Stylistycznie grupa czerpie z klasyki gatunku, najbliżej jej do prototechnicznej odmiany Death Metalu, czyli z okresu, kiedy za techniczne granie nie zabrali się jeszcze cyrkowcy, a chęć gry skomplikowanej osadzona była na solidnej podwalinie ostrego napierdolu. Słowa zaś to konceptualna podróż przez kresy ludzkiej ewolucji w kierunku boskości.

"Liturgy of the Final Self" na kompakcie będzie można nabyć za pośrednictwem profilu bandcamp: finalself.bandcamp.com

FINSTERFORST zapowiadają nowy album

 

Today, AOP Records announces July 31st as the international release date for Finsterforst's highly anticipated sixth album, Still.

For more than two decades, Finsterforst have been shaping their own distinctive voice within extreme metal, continuously evolving both musically and lyrically without ever losing their core identity. Their sound merges elements from a wide spectrum of heavy music—from black and folk-inspired roots to epic, atmospheric, and post-metal influences—forming a style they refer to as "Black Forest Metal": a blend that feels both deeply rooted and entirely its own.

Rather than fitting into a single label, Finsterforst's music thrives on contrast and fusion: crushing heaviness meets vast, cinematic atmospheres; raw aggression unfolds into melancholic, emotional depth; and monumental arrangements carry a sense of both intimacy and scale. While often described in broader terms as epic, atmospheric, or post-influenced extreme metal, Finsterforst deliberately transcend genre boundaries.

The result is a sound that is brutally powerful yet richly layered, where sadness, rage, triumph, and grandeur coexist within expansive compositions. Driven by constant progression and a refusal to stand still, Finsterforst continue to refine a vision that is as immersive as it is unmistakable.

The latest proof is Still, the band's first full-length in seven years and sixth overall. The preceding Jenseits mini-album, from 2023, showed Finsterforst at their most ambitious: a nearly 40-minute track broken up into four suites. On the nine-track / 78-minute Still, the Germans return to relatively more approachable song lengths, and the effect is immediate. As powerful and poignant as ever, their characteristic contrasts take their fullest flight yet, laying forth a landscape that's tinged with darkness and dreams, wanderlust and wonder, crystalline coloring and crushing heaviness. Compounding that power & poignancy are frequent excursions into folky, acoustic-led territory, further heightening the drama & dramatics central to their sound. And while their lyrics are largely still in their native tongue, one need not speak German to feel Still in their soul; drink deeply and Finsterforst's elixir is intoxicating, now more than ever. But, those who thrilled to Jenseits will surely want to drown in the 25-minute "Leere" here...and two surprise covers close the album, both done in the band's inimitable fashion.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Stille Nacht" HERE at AOP Records' official YouTube channel. Cover artwork, courtesy of Yaroslav Gerzhedovich, and tracklisting are as follows:

 Mirror of the Void

“The Torments of Enslavement by One's Self”

Lower Silesian Stronghold 2026

Kurcze, kolejna EP-ka? Szczerze mówiąc, to liczyłem na drugiego pełniaka, bo Mirror of the Void bardzo szybko stał się jednym z tworów, którego muzyki wyczekuję z wielką niecierpliwością. Głównie dlatego, że ich black metal bardzo zgrabnie wpisuje się w pojęcie eksperymentu, a jednocześnie nie jest tworem ani hipsterskim, ani przesadnie przekombinowanym. Dziwnym! To już prędzej. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Death Doom Punks”

Testimony Records 2026

Arroganz to kapela z Niemiec, która nagrywa muzykę od 2008 roku, a „Death Doom Punks” to już ich siódmy album. Nigdy się z nimi nie zetknąłem, ale nigdy nie jest za późno i nawet jestem z tego pierwszego spotkania kontent, bo panowie napierdalają całkiem niezły death metal z małą domieszką skandynawskiej diabelszczyzny wiadomego okresu. (Czytaj dalej...)

SWORN zapowiadają nowy album

 

Bergen, Norway & Athens, Greece; 20 May 2026: Bergen-based melodic black metal outfit Sworn have announced that their fifth album, “Null Crowned the Infinite”, will be released on 4 September 2026. Pre-orders for the physical versions licensed to The Circle Music are available now.

Three years following the critically acclaimed “A Journey told through Fire” (2023), the new album navigates a sprawling conceptual narrative, tracing the cyclical nature of the cosmos from its initial spark in the void to its inevitable dissolution.

Lyrically, the album explores the terrifying scale of cosmic darkness and the fragility of existence within a primordial emptiness. Sworn investigates the philosophy of becoming and unmaking, where reality and time emerge from nothingness only to eventually collapse back into the same unfathomable origin. Musically, “Null Crowned the Infinite” pushes the boundaries of the band's established sound, balancing their signature melodic tension with newfound levels of aggression and atmospheric depth. The record features "The Starless Origin", a twelve-minute epic that stands as their longest composition to date, alongside "Fracture of Aeons", which the band identifies as their most aggressive track ever recorded.

Sworn collaborated with renowned producer Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, who handled the mixing and mastering. Bogren’s legendary portfolio, featuring giants such as Opeth, Arch Enemy and Behemoth, brings a polished yet devastating edge to the performances of Max Wilson, Christoffer Kjørsvik, Gøran Hope and Tom Ian Klungland. The album artwork is equally striking, created by Pär Olofsson, known for his iconic work with Aborted and Kreator.

While Sworn continues to operate as an independent entity for the recording and production, they have partnered with The Circle Music to handle the physical releases under a special licensing deal. The release includes a Digipak CD alongside two distinct vinyl variants: Marbled Smoke and Marbled Green.

Pre-order “Null Crowned the Infinite”: https://thecirclemusic.gr/product-category/distributed-stuff/?filter_artist-name=sworn

Track list:

1. The Starless Origin

2. Null Crowned the Infinite

3. A Cosmic Storm

5. The Entropic Void

6. Circle of the Eternal

Wznowienie debiutu PYREXIA

 

"Sermon of Mockery", the landmark debut full-length from PYREXIA, is set to return on June 19th through Time To Kill Records in cooperation with Gravitas Ent. The reissue will be available in CD, LP and MC formats worldwide, excluding the North American market.

Originally released in 1993, "Sermon of Mockery" rapidly established itself as one of the defining statements of early brutal death metal, helping shape the identity of the New York scene through its overwhelming combination of crushing groove, suffocating heaviness and savage rhythmic precision. At a time when death metal was mutating into increasingly extreme forms, PYREXIA forged a sound that was both technically punishing and deeply rooted in raw underground aggression, laying the groundwork for countless bands that followed.

More than three decades later, the album remains a towering monument to brutality, retaining the oppressive atmosphere and relentless intensity that made it an instant cult classic among devotees of the genre. From its asphyxiating riffs to its unmistakable rhythmic swing, "Sermon of Mockery" still embodies the essence of uncompromising East Coast death metal in its purest form.

This new edition pays tribute to one of the genre’s most influential and enduring releases, bringing a timeless extreme metal classic back into circulation for longtime followers and new generations alike.

A new lyric video for the title-track is available HERE.

Tracklist:

1. Sermon of Mockery

2. Resurrection

3. Abominat

4. The Uncreation

5. God

6. Demigod

7. Inhumanity

8. Liturgy of Impurity

A review of Shewolff “We're All Gonna Fukkin' Die”

 Shewolff

“We're All Gonna Fukkin' Die”

Dying Victims Prod. 2026

 

This album didn’t stand a chance with me in the beginning. Because, first of all, I can’t stand vampire themes. I don’t know, they’ve always seemed more cliché to me than zombies or other undead creatures. Secondly, a woman in metal, especially a female vocalist, is ninety percent of the time knockoff, or at best a cheap provocation. (Continue reading)
