„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...)

 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:

WolfKult Religion 2026 (re-issue)

Niezmiernie cenię sobie takie małe wytwórnie, jak choćby holenderska WolfKult Religion. Przede wszystkim dlatego, że w dzisiejszym, skomercjalizowanym świecie, wydają materiały kompletnie niszowe, w ściśle limitowanej ilości, bez oglądania się na zyski i straty. (Czytaj dalej...)

Split 7” EP

To krótki split, prezentujący po jednym kawałku od każdego z tych dwóch projektów. Obydwie kapele pochodzą z Holandii i parają się okultystycznym black metalem, który jednoznacznie kojarzy się z dokonaniami Varathron, Necromantia czy Mortuary Drape. Pierwszy utwór należy do Necromantic Worship, który muzykuje od jedenastu lat i kilka demosów oraz pełniaka ma już za sobą. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy TÅRFÖDD w czerwcu

 

Today, Purity Through Fire announces June 5th as the international release date for a brand-new mini-album from Tårfödd, Skyfall, on CD format.

Since their formation in 2022, Sweden's Tårfödd have become a prolific force in the DSBM scene. With six full-lengths to date as well as nine singles, two EPs, and a couple collaborative records, mainman Simon Lindgren is a man possessed: supreme melancholy, bittersweet majesty, Technicolor textures, and soul-draining emotion have all become his stock in trade. And while it's not often that Purity Through Fire steps into depressive black metal waters, the label made an exception in 2025 for the release of Lidande and followed it up earlier this year with the band's sixth album, Mörker täcker livets ljus.

Now, with Tårfödd's whole catalog available under the banner of Purity Through Fire, Lindgren quickly returns with a brand-new mini-album. Titled Skyfall, the four-song / 32-minute record almost feels like a full-length, so (characteristically) immersive its mournful depths. Here, Lindgren handles literally everything - the LP predecessor featured guest vocalist Revenant (Sarkrista, Order of Nosferat, Siechknecht, Velmorth et. al.) on five of its nine tracks - and fittingly, it's arguably Tårfödd's rawest recording thus far. A plaintive acoustic instrumental, "Förödelse," suitably sets the stage in its hauntingly beautiful six minutes. "Förödelse II" follows, and that's when the real bloodletting begins: the record's comparatively barebones presentation only makes those depths inkier and more inviting...to drown in. Lindgren's execution remains as superlative as ever, his chops serving to illustrate his tortured vision to the fullest, and the dramatic drops to quietude here hit fucking HARD. If anything, while recasting the Tårfödd aesthetic through a grimmer or at least less-layered lens, Skyfall serves to remind the listener that this is BLACK METAL above all - bittersweet, yes, but black metal all the same.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "En värld i spillror" HERE at Purity Through Fire's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Tårfödd's Skyfall

1. Förödelse [6:13]

Drugi singiel od PHARMACIST

 

Today, Japanese goregrinders Pharmacist reveal the new track "Lazure Sphacelation." The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated third album, Vertebrae After Vertebrae, set for international release on May 29th via Hells Headbangers. Hear Pharmacist's "Lazure Sphacelation" in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.

One of the most renowned bands in the modern goregrind scene, Pharmacist was formed in early 2020 by Pharmacist (guitars, bass, vocals) and Therapeutist (drums). Shortly after formation, the band released the EP Forensic Pathology Jurisprudence, which was quickly followed by the debut full-length Medical Renditions Of Grinding Decomposition in August 2020, spreading the old-school death metal with gore themes in the vein of early Carcass and Pathologist. Throughout the next year, the band did a massive output of singles, splits, and EPs, culminating in the second full-length, Flourishing Extremities On Unspoiled Mental Grounds. Hells Headbangers released that second album on vinyl in early 2023, in anticipation for the band's third full-length, which now arrives bearing the title Vertebrae After Vertebrae.

Crisp yet crunching and stealthy as ever, Pharmacist again work with VoidLab in Tokyo for recording, mixing, and mastering, giving Vertebrae After Vertebrae the ultimate gutpunch: bowel-cleansing, swiftly and delightfully so. So, too, do the band link up with Adam Medford for another gross & surreal cover artwork, completing the finishing touches on what's bound to be the band's highwater mark: "a good medicine to heal your cure, penetrate the remedy sound down the spine, vertebrae after vertebrae."

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Lazure Sphacelation" in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel. Also hear the previously revealed "Propelling Inwards" HERE, also at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Aforementioned cover artwork and tracklisting are as follows:

 Apollinarix

„Misanthropic Transcendence”

Morbid Chapel 2026

Co my tutaj mamy… Krąży w ręku złoty pieniądz… A nie, wróć. Wybrzmiewa w uszach amerykański death metal. Apollinarix pochodzą właśnie zza wielkiej wody, konkretnie z miasta nad słonym jeziorem, a grają tak, jak się u nich na kontynencie gra od dekad. I to na bardzo wysokim poziomie. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Scarab

„Transmutation of Fate”

Brutal Records 2026

Egipski Scarab nie rozpieszcza swoich fanów nowymi nagraniami, bo od kiedy powstał, a było to w 2006 roku, wydał zaledwie trzy płyty i razem z „Transmutation of Fate”, dwie epki. Najnowsza z nich to cztery numery w death metalowym tonie, który jak na Egipcjan przystało, został wzbogacony o bliskowschodnie wpływy, co nie dziwi, bo sekstet ten robi taką muzę od początku swego istnienia. (Czytaj dalej...)
