Recenzja Reekmind „Glints from the Crematorium”

 Reekmind

„Glints from the Crematorium”

Night Terrors Rec. 2026

Piętnaście miesięcy po debiutanckim “Mired in the Reek of Grief” powraca australijski Reekmind. Tym razem panowie przypominają o sobie przy pomocy trzyotworowej EP-ki, zawierającej łącznie dwadzieścia pięć minut muzyki. Ujmując rzecz precyzyjnie, są to dwie studyjne kompozycje, plus, jako bonus, nagranie live, z tegoż jednak samego studio, zatem różnice w dźwięku są minimalne. (Czytaj dalej...)

Jubileuszowe gadżety MARDUK

 

Madrid, Spain; 20 July 2026: Black metal titans Marduk will release two premium collections in collaboration with record label and creative house Down With The Most High Productions. Moving completely away from conventional band merchandise, the “Militaria” and “Fuck Me Jesus” collections have been developed as high-end collectable releases, serving as a definitive physical celebration of the band’s rich legacy.

The Militaria collection focuses heavily on the military history, battlefield imagery and heraldic themes that have defined the band's thematic world for over three decades. The collection brings these concepts to life through heavy-duty, bespoke items designed for long-term collectability. It features a bespoke decoration medal in the form of a cast iron cross bearing the Marduk wolf pentagram inside a premium collector box, as well as the bespoke ceremonial Marduk Legions military standard banner embroidered on real black velvet with metallic silver, matte red and black threads. A large synthetic leather Marduk Legions back patch packaged with detailed historical liner notes, specialised double-sided T-Shirts, a brushed metal effect sticker, and a heavy metallic badge button completes this initial instalment.

Unveiled at the same time, the Fuck Me Jesus collection celebrates the 35th anniversary of the band's infamous 1991 demo tape. Esteemed as one of the most notorious and pivotal moments in the extreme music genre’s history, the demo is now honoured through this artistic curation process, as opposed to merely being reproduced. The highlight of the anniversary collection is a heavy, hand-moulded die-cast bronze sculpture finished with an aged green patina, which brings the demo’s artwork to life. As part of the anniversary range, also featured are a large textile banner flag and a premium metal badge presented on custom backing cards.

Both of these collections will be officially unveiled to the public for the very first time at Beyond the Gates Festival in Bergen, Norway, this July. At the Down With The Most High stand, the audience will get a unique chance to examine the quality of the craftsmanship, the choice of high-quality materials and detailed packaging. In-person showcases of the bronze sculptures, velvet banners and metal medals will allow the audience to feel and experience the true weight of the collection.

These collection items follow the success of the previously released Celtic Frost fine art and precious metal collection.

Daniel Dabadan Gayoso, Founder of Down With The Most High Productions and Curator of the Marduk collections, said: "It was our intention from the very start that this extreme music memorabilia be made into something more permanent and archival. Having done this with the Celtic Frost series, we decided to take things to another level with Marduk. These pieces are cast in heavy bronze, woven into velvet, and presented with the care usually reserved for historical exhibits because this music deserves a permanent physical legacy."

Morgan, Marduk guitarist and founder, added: “Marduk has never been a band that was willing to compromise on the weight of our concept or our visual output. This production is the physical manifestation of our approach. These pieces are raw, heavy, and forged with an absolute dedication to detail, making them genuine, tangible pieces of the band's history and not just some fleeting product. This is for the die-hard maniacs, for the legion!”

Down With The Most High Productions (DWTMH) is an independent label and production company from Spain which focuses exclusively on producing high-end, niche releases across the black, death and thrash metal spectrum. Known for their dedication to the quality of physical product, and working with legends such as Celtic Frost, Tormentor, Possessed, Blasphemy, Beherit, Necromantia, Mystifier, Absu, Imprecation and Baxaxaxa, DWTMH attempts to raise extreme metal visuals above usual merchandising.

Recenzja Necrofied „Ashes of Horror”

 Necrofied

„Ashes of Horror”

Iron, Blood & Death Corporation” 2026

Ci Chilijczycy swoją drogę muzyczną rozpoczęli pod szyldem Ritual Occulto jakieś pięć lat temu, i zarejestrowali debiutancka EP-kę. Coś im się jednak odwidziało, i, od dwudziestego piątego, nazywają się Necrofied.  „Ashes of Horror” jest ich pierwszym wydawnictwem, tym razem pod postacią pełnej płyty. Zawiera ona osiem ścieżek, z czego pierwsza jest rytualnym oprowadzaczem. (Czytaj dalej...)

INFERNO i BESTIA ARCANA już dostępne w Debemur Morti

 


Today, Czech Black Metal pioneers INFERNO proudly unveil their newest work of hypnotic and transformative Art, "The Anthropic Sophisms (On the Heights of Despair)", and Naas Alcameth's (AKHLYS, NIGHTBRINGER) BESTIA ARCANA present a long-awaited re-release of their 2017 milestone, "Holókauston".

Both albums are now available on CD, vinyl and digital formats, alongside specially designed merchandise, via DMP's EU, US and Bandcamp shops.

Listen to both albums via the bands' respective Bandcamp pages - INFERNO & BESTIA ARCANA!

Find all album info – including two mesmerizing videos crafted by Fabio Rincones (SELBST) – here!

Legendary US artist Naas Alcameth is best known for his work with AKHLYS and NIGHTBRINGER, yet he has also created two spellbinding and prophetic works under the moniker BESTIA ARCANA.

Described by Alcameth as both a "heretical black opera forged in adverse esoteric and eschatological tradition" and "a madman's alchemical experiment", 2017's "Holókauston" is an enigmatic, monumental and warped creation, and a stark reminder of the labyrinthine depths Alcameth had mined prior to the recent achievements of AKHLYS.

Recenzja Altarage „Cogwheel”

 Altarage

„Cogwheel”

Sentient Riun Laboratories 2026

Altarage po „Succumb” jakoś kompletnie zniknął mi z radaru. Z zaskoczeniem zatem przyjąłem fakt, iż Hiszpanie od tamtego czasu nagrali już dwie duże płyty, i właśnie wydają trzecią. Jako iż ich stylistyka onegdaj przypadała mi do gustu, z chęcią sprawdziłem, co się u nich dzieje. A dzieje się… w zasadzie to samo co zwykle. Gruz, smoła i kilotony betonu. Ale po kolei. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Serpent Lord

„The OnceForgotten Ways of Old”

Eisenwald 2026

Serpent Lord jest projektem gościa z Uada, który zdaje się być tam muzykiem napędowym. Pod „wężowym” szyldem pogrywa już od 2003 roku, ale na początku zarejestrował trzy demosy i dał sobie siana. Teraz wraca po ponad dwudziestu latach z albumem debiutanckim, który zawiera sześć utworów, utrzymanych w black metalowym tonie. (Czytaj dalej...)

Singiel od PROFANE BURIAL

 


Kråkstad, Norway & Rome, Italy; 17 July 2026: Norwegian symphonic black metal band Profane Burial have unveiled a second single, “Prognostic Augural Obsolescence”, from the upcoming full-length, “Desolate Echoes of Turmoil” to be released on 24th July via These Hands Melt.


The band said: "When all paths lead to the end of time, only fire, judgement, and the shadows of darkness persist. ‘Prognostic Augural Obsolescence’ is a journey through the images of Hell, self-corruption, and the timeless battle between good and evil. ‘Prognostic Augural Obsolescence’ represents a new direction in music for Profane Burial, combining complex rhythm patterns with cinematic production and dark guitar work."
