Recenzja Disconnect „Demo 2026”

 Disconnect

„Demo 2026”

Szpadel Rec. 2026

Kilka dni temu obwieszczono wszem i wobec, że pochodzący z mojego miasta, dobrze zapowiadający się Büddah, po wydaniu jedynie EP-ki i debiutanckiej płyty, zakończył działalność. A już miałem nadzieję, że będę za jakiś czas dumny z ziomali. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Trolldom „Tronen”

 Trolldom

„Tronen”

Debemur Morti Productions 2026

Z końcem października ukaże się nowy album Trolldom, który jak poprzednie wydawnictwa tego projektu, przeniesie nas w drugą połowę lat dziewięćdziesiątych, aby „rzucić odświeżonym uchem” na melodyjny black metal z małym dodatkiem symfoniki. Jakbym się nie gimnastykował nic oryginalnego ani nowego na temat „Tronen” nie dam rady napisać. (Czytaj dalej...)

SPARAGMOS: pre-order winylowego wydania "Error

 


Wytwórnia Selfmadegod Records uruchomiła pre-order limitowanego, winylowego wznowienia drugiego studyjnego albumu warszawskiego death/thrashmetalowego SPARAGMOS Error. Premiera na początku października 2026 r. Więcej szczegółów poniżej.

Error, pierwotnie wydany w 1994 roku wyłącznie na kasecie magnetofonowej nakładem Metal Mind Productions w końcu zyskał godne XXI wieku wydanie – po raz pierwszy na CD i LP w zremasterowanej wersji. Mastering materiału przeprowadził w 2026 roku Filip Heinrich Hałucha w Heinrich House Studio, nadając klasycznym nagraniom z 1993/1994 roku nowe, znacznie bardziej klarowne i dynamiczne brzmienie, przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu surowej, organicznej duszy lat 90. Wznowienie Error to nie tylko nostalgiczna podróż, to szansa, by materiał, który w latach 90. był niedoceniony i trudno dostępny w związku ze schyłkiem nośnika jakim była kaseta, w końcu zabrzmiał tak, jak zawsze powinien – głośno, wyraźnie i bezkompromisowo.

Utworem promującym wznowienie Error jest singiel i teledysk Fashioned In Lifetime. Obejrzyj tutaj

Winylowe wznowienie Error ukaże się 9 października 2026 nakładem Selfmadegod Records w dwóch wariantach kolorystycznych: splatter oraz klasyczny czarny wosk.
Dostępne jest również wydanie na CD i okolicznościowa koszulka.

Nowy kawałek od BOKKERIJDERS

 

Today, Belgian black metallers Bokkerijders premiere the new track "Calcination Pyre" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Crush Kill Destroy, set for international release on October 23rd via Personal Records. Hear Bokkerijders' "Calcination Pyre" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from Belgium's rich-yet-overlooked black metal scene, Bokkerijders formed in 2021 and soon released their debut demo the next year. An EP compellingly titled Silver Dust and Swords of Gold followed in 2023, further displaying the band's unique iteration of black metal. To them, Bokkerijders simply play METAL, and influences like Aura Noir, Slayer, and even Turbonegro all fall under the same umbrella - no subgenre delineations needed.

And so it follows with Bokkerijders' first full-length, Crush Kill Destroy. Indeed, their debut album does everything it says on the tin, but peer deeper and there's myriad (crusty, archaic) layers worth exploring. With a production style that's both ripping & raw and clear & gleaming, the Belgians uphold their banner of simple, straightforward metal - at its essence, pounding and pulsing and riffing and roaring - and their succinct songwriting flows with energy, excitement, and emotion. The riffs themselves stack on top of each - miles of them, seemingly - and their usage of solos is economic and yet exceedingly well-placed. As much as Crush Kill Destroy excels in both form and content, the record is a fitting epitaph for lead guitarist Wouter Lemmens, who passed away in September 2025.

Bokkerijders will now soldier on as a power-trio, and Crush Kill Destroys stands as a firm foundation for victories ahead.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Calcination Pyre" exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSinging.com. Also hear the previously revealed title track "Crush Kill Destroy" HERE at Personal Records' Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Bokkerijders' Crush Kill Destroy
1. Ashen Scream
2. Crush Kill Destroy
3. Calcination Pyre
4. Primordial Phosphorous Eclipse
5. Locked in Gilded Chains are the Guillotine's Blade
6. Bokkerijders
7. Miracle Osmosis
8. Fire Chaser

Recenzja Goatest „Goatest”

 Goatest

„Goatest”

Tike To Kill 2026

Jak to się stopniuje po angielsku? Goat – Goater – (the) Goatest. Czyli można domniemywać, iż to najbardziej kozi zespół na świecie. No tak, tylko że akurat w tym przypadku ów sposób myślenia jest „misleading” (po naszemu: zwodniczy). Nazwa tegoż projektu pochodzi bowiem od nazw dwóch bandów dokonujących tu kolaboracji. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Things Seen but Always Hidden”

Apocalyptic Witchcraft 2025

Tych czterech Anglików tworzy już od 2012, ale na koncie nie mają zbyt dużo wydawnictw. Powyższe jest ich drugim krążkiem, który nagrano w zeszłym roku, ale dopiero teraz Apocalyptic Witchcraft podtyka je pod nos, aby ktoś, coś o nim napisał. Padło na mnie więc jadę z koksem. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy BLOOD AND SUN za niecały miesiąc

 

On October 16th internationally, Nordvis is proud to present Blood and Sun's highly anticipated third album, Aion's Light, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

With Aion’s Light, Blood and Sun’s third full-length, Luke Tromiczak brings his vision of American neofolk back to its rawest foundations while pushing further into the borderlands between song, spell, and memory.

The album was recorded entirely on the same Tascam 414 four-track cassette portastudio used for Blood and Sun’s earliest demo. Songs were written and tracked in the order they appear, effects were committed to tape, and each bounced-down instrument narrowed the path ahead. Every decision carried weight; raw instinct became part of the final form.

Musically, Aion’s Light stands somewhere between '70s folk songcraft, underground black metal spirit, and the eerie atmospheres of B-movie horror soundtracks. Echoes of Scott Walker, Of the Wand and the Moon, Woven Hand, Swans, Dave Bixby, Exuma, Leonard Cohen, and Norway's Storm can be felt throughout. Guitar chords are hammered into place as a foundation for bass, keyboards, percussion, and voice; sparse arrangements gather weight through repetition, atmosphere, and the grain of the recording itself.

Luke commented: "Aion’s Light is a return to the roots of Blood and Sun, but also a test of limits - raw sound, direct songwriting, and the old four-track that started this path in the first place. The album traces a journey from the darkness of winter to the first flowers of spring, tracing the pagan currents that continue to course through my life. I am proud to once again partner with Nordvis in bringing this work into the world, and deeply grateful to everyone who has helped keep this fire burning."

In the meantime, hear the brand-new tracks "Aion's Light" HERE, "Life Lessons" HERE, and "Gifts of Oneiroi" HERE, all at Nordvis' official YouTube channel. Presave/preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
