Recenzja Necromorbid „Ceremonial Demonslaught”

 Necromorbid

„Ceremonial Demonslaught”

Godz ov War 2026

Zespoły pokroju Necromorbid są w zasadzie kurewsko przewidywalne, co ma oczywiście swoje wady i zalety. Zanim jeszcze zobaczyłem oficjalną zapowiedź nowego, trzeciego już krążka Włochów, wiedziałem, co, mniej więcej, znajdzie się na okładce. Mogłem snuć przypuszczenia dotyczące tytułów piosenek, strzelać z dokładnością do pięciu minut odnośnie czasu trwania płyty, a zanim włączyłem ją po raz pierwszy, dokładnie określić jej zawartość. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Atronos „Gram”

 Atronos

„Gram”

Purity Through Fire 2026

Po trzech latach przerwy, wraca niemiecki Atronos. Tym razem, to dziesięć utworów, które przez blisko pięćdziesiąt minut wylewają na głowę teutońską zaprawę. Na dobrą sprawę u Atronos od ostatniego albumu nic się nie zmieniło. Tercet ten w dalszym ciągu rzeźbi melodyjny black metal, w który wplata mnóstwo pogańskich naleciałości, objawiających się w po germańsku, podniosłych akordach, podbitych tu i ówdzie, syntezatorowym tłem. (Czytaj dalej...)

DUIR wracają z nowym albumem

 


Today, AOP Records announces June 26th as the international release date for Duir's highly anticipated second album, Catarsi.

Duir is an atmospheric folk / black metal band formed in 2013 by MK, aiming to blend personal influences with folk and black metal elements. The band's moniker comes from the Celtic word for "oak," a symbol of longevity and wisdom.

After self-releasing the demo Tribe (2014) and the EP Obsidio (2018), Duir toured extensively across their native Italy, sharing stages with Skyforger, Windrose, Furor Gallico, Ulvedharr, Bifrost, and Elvenking. Their first full-length, T. S. N. R. I. – Impermanenza (2022), marked a shift toward melodic, atmospheric folk / black metal, featuring introspective melodies and reflections on impermanence and existentialism. Following its release, Duir performed alongside Grima, Ultar, and Bloody Tyrant, and signed with Italian booking agency Mostro Production.

In 2023 and 2024, Duir continued touring with Ellende, Groza, Windrose, Gaerea, and Happy Days and Ponte del Diavolo including performances in Germany supporting Darkend. In 2025, they appeared at the Summoning of Darkness festival in Sweden with Tsjuder and Seth and took part in an Italian mini-tour with Losmk.

Duir's upcoming second album, Catarsi, represents their most ambitious work yet. Set during the First World War, it follows a young soldier caught between pride, despair, and oblivion. Through atmospheric black metal intertwined with evocative folk elements, Catarsi guides listeners on a cathartic journey where history becomes emotion and memory turns into sound. The album features a guest vocal by L.G. of Ellende and was mixed and mastered by P.G. of Groza at Ad Nauseam Sounds, showcasing the band’s signature blend of haunting melodies and visceral intensity.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Impeto," featuring L.G. of Ellende, HERE at AOP Records' official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

1. Manifesto [10:02]
2. Di nessuno [6:54]
3. Impeto (feat. L.G. of Ellende) [7:59]

Zapowiedź trzeciej płyty ROTTEN TOMB

 


Chilean death metallers ROTTEN TOMB proudly announce the release of their third full-length album, "Vestiges of Tortured Souls", set for June 6th, 2026 via Nuclear Winter Records. The album will be available on LP, CD, and cassette formats, further cementing the band’s commitment to the underground tradition.

The first single “Mortified” is now streaming HERE.

Formed in 2016 in Iquique, ROTTEN TOMB have steadily risen as one of the most compelling acts within the South American extreme metal scene, blending death metal with doom-laden atmospheres and occult undertones. Following the strong impact of "Visions of a Dismal Fate" (2022) and the equally praised "The Relief of Death" (2024), the band now returns with their most ambitious and fully realized work to date.

"Vestiges of Tortured Souls" stands as one of the most anticipated death metal releases of the year. On this new record, ROTTEN TOMB refine their sonic identity without sacrificing intensity or authenticity. The riffs are sharper and more cohesive, while the melodies take on a more prominent role, painting soundscapes that feel more sorrowful and evocative than ever before.

Without losing any of the crushing heaviness and sense of decay that defined their earlier material, the band now delivers songs with an immediate and lasting impact. Each track strikes a balance between overwhelming force and carefully crafted lead guitar work, resulting in compositions that are both memorable and devastating.

The album channels the oppressive weight of the genre’s darkest pioneers alongside a deeply mournful and introspective atmosphere, while still maintaining a distinct and personal voice. This duality allows ROTTEN TOMB to push their sound forward, achieving a level of songwriting maturity that marks a clear evolution from their previous efforts.

"Vestiges of Tortured Souls" represents a major step forward for ROTTEN TOMB, solidifying their position at the forefront of Chile’s increasingly renowned extreme metal scene and extending their reach far beyond national borders.

Tracklist:
01. Horror Manifestations
02. Condemned Reality
03. Lost Memories
04. Waiting, Dying
05. Mortified
06. Mind of Chaos
07.. Here Lies Death

EP-ka TOMBAL w czerwcu

 

Today, Blood Harvest Records announces June 12th as the international release date for Tombal's striking debut EP, Grave of the Damned, on CD format. Unholy Domains will be handling the cassette version.

Making their way straight out of a grave and crawling into the human-known world, Tombal see the light in late 2025. Heavily inspired by the HM-2's fierce and sharp tones, Tombal channel the tradition of Swedish death metal, finding their identity in a violent, ferocious sound, with no compromises. The grave-risen band consists of Luigi Cara, with his annihilating guitars and growls; Massimiliano Falchi, on the butchering low-end four strings; and Luca Barone, the fresh blood behind the machine-gun-like drums.

Grave of the Damned, Tombal's public debut, is a swift & satisfying display of classic Swedeath. In just 16 minutes, the power-trio lay waste to all in their path; from fleet-footed gallops to gutted blasting, tar-thick riffing with just a bit of evil melody, and an undeniably authentic atmosphere of the early '90s, the EP displays the band's full arsenal, even at this early stage. So impressed by this opening statement, Blood Harvest have signed Tombal and will be unleashing the band's debut album, which is slated to be recorded before year's end. The past is alive...and undead!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new title track "Grave of the Damned" HERE at Blood Harvest's Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Galibot „Catabase”

 Galibot

„Catabase”

Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions 2026

 


Reedycję debiutanckiego krążka Galibot przedstawiałem wam jakiś czas temu, zatem teoretycznie powinniście być w temacie. Dla przypomnienia jednak, zespół ten para się black metalem o tematyce kopalnianej. Konkretniej, zgłębia historię, często tragiczną, kopalń północnej Francji. Jeśli mowa o black metalu z Francji, to zapewne z założenia pojawią się u was myśli skierowane w stronę Deathspell Omega czy Blut Aus Nord. (Czytaj dalej...)

Zapowiedź kompilacji demówek SCHIZO

 


A landmark piece of Italian extreme metal history returns in its most complete form yet, as F.O.A.D. Records proudly present the definitive SCHIZO demo collection, now available in a new expanded edition.

New version with a cover and insert in different colors than the previous edition.

The most exhaustive SCHIZO demo collection you can dream of. One LP, one 7" inch and one CD all in one package, housed in a thick gatefold sleeve with a poster-sized foldout insert full of rare photos, and 'zine excerpts.. a true work of heart just like every F.O.A.D. release!

This collection compiles all the band's recordings before their killer "Main Frame Collapse" debut full length (1989), for a total of 20 songs from one of the most deranged, fast and original extreme metal acts of the 1980s Italian scene. Alongside the early work of their brothers-in-mayhem Necrodeath, these recordings represent some of the very first examples of hyper-speed driven death/thrash from Italy—put simply, among the earliest blast beats ever unleashed on Italian metal territory.

Contents:
“T.T.U.T.T.K. [Thrash The Unthrashable, Thrash To Kill]” Demo (1985)
“TOTAL SCHIZOPHRENIA” Demo (1986)
“M.F.C. [Main Frame Collapse Demo]” (1987)
Bonus: “Private rehearsal tape – May 31, 1985” (previously unreleased tracks)

All material has been mastered from the best sounding 1st generation sources provided and approved by the band.

This release documents the band’s evolution from nihilistic thrashing hardcore roots to the sadistic, nerve-ripping sonic torment of the cult “Total Schizophrenia” era (famously cited by Max Cavalera as one of the inspirations behind Sepultura’s “Schizophrenia” title).

A true monster of archival extreme metal. Essential listening for fans of ultra-fast thrash in the vein of Wehrmacht, early Sadus, Merciless and Sarcófago.

Watch the trailer HERE.

Nowy numer WITCHING HOUR

 


Today, German ancient metallers Witching Hour premiere the new track "A Night Under a Crimson Moon's Lament" at Rock Hard Germany's website.

Hear Witching Hour's "A Night Under a Crimson Moon's Lament" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Singiel od IVOIRE

 


Italian post-metal act IVOIRE have unveiled their new single "Sotto La Cenere", now exclusively premiering via Everything Is Noise, offering a further glimpse into their upcoming debut album "Uragano", due out on May 8th, 2026.

Balancing tension and release with a refined sense of dynamics, "Sotto La Cenere" highlights the band’s ability to merge post-metal foundations with darker, more visceral edges, reinforcing IVOIRE’s emerging identity as a compelling voice within the contemporary underground.

Stream "Sotto La Cenere" at THIS LOCATION.

With “Uragano”, the band shape a personal expressive language in which a solid post-metal foundation intertwines with an intricate interplay of tension and texture, opening up to further shades that include black metal elements and atmospheric passages. The result is a thick and shadowy sound, oppressive yet never static, capable of suddenly opening into waves of melancholy, rarefied passages and moments of almost contemplative suspension. It is precisely within this unstable balance between impact and fragility, fury and introspection, that the album finds its deepest identity.

With “Uragano”, IVOIRE deliver a debut that seeks no compromise: a visceral, bleak and deeply human record that descends into the cracks and turns them into sound.

Tracklist:
01. Le Catene dell’Estro
02. Vetta
03. Tempeste
04. Chimera
05. Sotto La Cenere
