„The Unbinding”

Apocalyptic Witchcraft Rec. 2026

Soothsayer to kwartet muzyków z Cork, w Irlandii. Panowie muzykują wspólnie od jakichś trzynastu lat, i dochrapali się w tym okresie dwóch EP-ek, splitu, albumu live, oraz debiutanckiej płyty. Ta ostatni ukazała się pięć lat temu. Najwyższy był zatem czas na następcę „Echoes of the Earth”. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Tristesse Vespérale”

Antiq 2026

Hardiessie pochodzi z Francji, a w skład tego bandu wchodzi między innymi gość odpowiedzialny za takie wykwity jak Hyver i Grylle. Wiedząc o tym, sceptycznie podchodziłem do tego materiału, który jest MLP i zarazem oficjalnym debiutem tego szyldu. Cóż, o dziwo jest tutaj dość dobrze. (Czytaj dalej...)

Split ELFFOR / HYVER / ERROIAK za dwa miesiące

 

On November 11th internationally, Antiq is proud to present Roi des Forêts - Basoen Jauna, a special three-way split among Elffor, Hyver, and Erroiak.

Tracklisting for Roi des Forêts - Basoen Jauna

1. Elffor - Urkhal

2. Hyver - Culte Ancestral

3. Hyver - Le Premier Dieu

4. Hyver - Cannelle

5. Hyver - Le Trône des Bois

6. Erroiak - Basoen Jauna

7. Erroiak - Harpeko Oihua

8. Erroiak - Azken Ehiza

Elffor is an established project hailing from the Spanish side of Basque Land. With seminal albums throughout his career, Eöl has now set his own mark on music, with a blend of ambient and heinous black metal. Some albums are purely ambient / dungeon synth, while some others are more on the black metal side. The song he presents here is definitely some fierce black metal, with epic atmosphere and build-ups.

Hyver is a multi-instrumentist from France, and has been playing this self-named solo project since 2023. In the project Hyver, he wishes to explore the relation between synthesizers / keyboards and guitars, and to give more space to key melodies than he uses in his other projects. Also, the thematics are more personal, almost intimate, resulting in a form of black metal / sympho / dungeon synth quite unique.

Erroiak is the solo project of the musician of the same name, meaning "crows" in Basque. He is more on the French side of Basque Land, and his music is a blend of Summoning and something more personal. Through his personal endeavors, Erroiak has been able to perform vocals in various projects, making his skills better and better. Also, his Summoning covers on YouTube gave him more experience in music.

Singiel od DUMAL

 

On October 2nd internationally, Alte Seelen is proud to present Dumal's highly anticipated third album, The Trials of Existence.

Pennsylvania black metal trio Dumal - whose name comes from the Baudelaire book Les Fleurs du Mal ("Flowers of Evil"), meaning "of evil" - have been active in the USBM scene since 2013. With a handful of EPs and splits plus two full-lengths under their belts during the decade from 2013 to 2023, they’ve worked their craft into an amalgam of '90s Scandinavian ferociousness, Eastern European melody, and the brute strength of USBM, building a sound that is at once elegant and oppressive. With one foot deep in the past and the other foot firmly in the present, Dumal now unleash their new full-length, The Trials of Existence, via Alte Seelen on CD format.

Moving forward from the underground success of 2020's The Confessor (2020), Dumal return to deliver their most cohesive vision of darkness yet. Forging a deliberate strike point between Scandinavian ferocity and Eastern European melodicism, Dumal continue to reinforce the foundation of American black metal. For this upcoming release, the band has doubled down on their signature sound, stripping away keyboards in favor of raw, elegant guitar arrangements to weave a complex soundscape that is as caustic as it is soaring and beautiful. The new material delivers an exceptionally catchy sound that fiercely honors its underground black metal roots.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new tracks "Ivyland" and "Rendered Impotent by Glass" HERE at Alte Seelen's Bandcamp, where the album can also be preordered. Further preorder info can be found HERE.

Split NOROTH / MORTUAL pod koniec października

 

Two of the most compelling names in today's underground death metal scene are set to collide in one devastating release. NOROTH (USA) and MORTUAL (Costa Rica) proudly announce their upcoming split album, arriving October 30th, 2026 on 12" vinyl via Night Terrors Records (Netherlands) and CD/MC via Goat Throne Records (USA).

Bringing together six brand-new tracks and one cover, the split showcases two bands that continue to champion the timeless values of death metal: memorable riffs, carefully crafted songwriting and an uncompromising dedication to atmosphere over excess. In an era where technical display and sonic density often overshadow composition, NOROTH and MORTUAL stand apart by writing songs that linger long after the final note fades.

NOROTH contribute three exclusive tracks, expanding upon the cavernous and battle-scarred sound that has established them as one of the strongest emerging forces in American death metal. Their material seamlessly blends suffocating heaviness with haunting melodies and a sense of organic flow that recalls the genre's finest traditions without ever feeling derivative.

On the other side, MORTUAL unleash four new songs steeped in blasphemy, violence and relentless aggression. The Costa Rican quartet delivers their most focused and punishing material to date, balancing savage intensity with memorable riffing and a commanding sense of dynamics that reflects years of dedication to the underground.

The first taste of the split is available now through Decibel, with both premiere tracks streaming online:

NOROTH – "Tongue ov Soot and Ash"

MORTUAL – "Eclipse of Dominion"

Coinciding with the release, NOROTH will embark on a European tour alongside American death metal legends Drawn And Quartered, running from October 29th through November 13th, 2026, with booking handled by Killtown Bookings.

Tracklist:

1. Noroth - Crowned in Pestilence

2. Noroth - Tongue ov Soot and Ash

3. Noroth - Sepulchre ov Hollowed Eyes

4. Mortual - Eclipse of Dominion

5. Mortual - Crown of Unbeing

6. Mortual - Sanctified Decay

7. Mortual - Black Magic (Slayer Cover)

GORGATRON szykują nowy album

 

US death metal veterans GORGATRON have signed with Time To Kill Records for the release of their fifth full-length album, "Turmoil", due out in the coming months.

A band that has never been particularly interested in rushing its creative process, GORGATRON have always taken their time to consider their next moves and make sure every return is worth the wait. That patience is reflected in a death metal approach that refuses to settle comfortably within any specific current or subgenre. The Fargo, North Dakota outfit instead builds its identity around the riff, allowing the guitars to dictate the direction of each composition and providing a natural point of contact with bands such as Suffocation, Origin and Hate Eternal.

Yet those comparisons only tell part of the story. GORGATRON have developed a distinctly personal way of arranging their material, paying close attention to dynamics and introducing melodic ideas without ever allowing them to overshadow the sheer weight and severity of the music. Their songs can move from intricate guitar work to blunt, punishing passages without losing their sense of direction, creating a sound that feels both carefully constructed and fundamentally physical.

At its core, this remains uncompromising American death metal: sharp-edged, disciplined and built on the enduring power of the riff. Two decades of experience have only sharpened the band's understanding of how to make that formula work, while "Turmoil" promises to push their established language into another chapter.

More details about the album, including the first single, will be revealed soon.

Drigi krążek Überchriist za dziesięc dni

 

Atlanta (GA) - U.S. Black Metal band Überchriist are set to release their second full-length album, Dæmonic Apotheosis, on September 25 via Deanwell Global Music.

"Anti-Phoenix Descent," the album's first single, is available on streaming platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

First coming together in embryonic form in 2010 by two local musicians whose human names are long forgotten, Überchriist formed with the purpose of transcending the boundaries between human, demon and god. Now a quartet, the band has spent the years since sharpening that idea into Dæmonic Apotheosis. What phantasmagorical wonders and horrors could await in this unconscious realm of the unknown? For only facing the deepest darkness can bring true enlightenment, and that is the ultimate goal of this musical undertaking.

Transformation is the thread running through Dæmonic Apotheosis. Ten tracks, 38:23, and most of them pull downward. Apotheosis is elevation to the divine, and on this record the road there runs straight down.

Musically this is classic black metal at the root. Blast beats, tremolo picking, all the cold. But the band lets melody in when a song asks for it, and there's a real streak of old-school heavy metal in the riffing.

Track Listing:

1. Anti-Phoenix Descent (5:43)

2. Serpent's Shroud (3:14)

3. Vicissitudes Ov Fate (3:40)

4. Tomb Creeper (2:59)

5. Faith In Darkness (3:59)

6. Black Void (4:30)

7. Subterranean Goat Transfiguration (3:25)

8. Everdark Calling (2:38)

9. Awakening Ancient Power (3:16)

10. Psychocosm (4:59)

Nowy AUTUMNFALL na dniach

 

Finnish melodic black metal veterans AUTUMNFALL have shared a new song from their forthcoming album "The Archaic Sins": "Crystal Skies" is now streaming, offering another glimpse into the melodic richness and atmospheric depth of the record, due out on September 25, 2026 via Ardua Music.

The new single further reveals the peculiar balance at the heart of AUTUMNFALL, where black metal intensity is shaped by flowing guitar lines, understated drama and a strong emotional sensibility. "Crystal Skies" unfolds without rushing, allowing its melodies to gradually build and intertwine while the rhythm section provides a firm but unobtrusive foundation. There is a distinctly melancholic quality to the song, yet its melodies retain a sense of openness and movement, reflecting the band's ability to find beauty without sacrificing the darker shades of their music.

Stream "Crystal Skies" at THIS LOCATION.

The Circle Music / Hell’s Fire Rec. 2026

Dziś mała przystaweczka. Zespół nowy, lecz ludzie za nim stojący do nowicjuszy nie należą. Można wręcz powiedzieć, że to taki mały all-stars band. Kogo my tu mamy… Jest The Magus (tu wymieniać zasług chyba nie trzeba), George Emmanuel (Rotting Christ, ex), Tas Danazoglou (ex. Electric Wizard), no i Faust (wiadomo).  (Czytaj dalej...)

Ja pierdolę. Dobrze, że panowie z Acherontas nie napisali całej książki, żeby zatytułować swoją najnowszą epkę, bo by czytania było na tydzień. Ok. Grecy wysmażyli na tym krążku, cztery nowe numery, które są kontynuacją stylu obranego przez tą kapelę. Natchniony magią i przedwiecznymi prawdami black metal, w którym miesza się północnoeuropejski lód z południowym ogniem. (Czytaj dalej...)

BARREN: drugi singiel z nowego albumu dostępny

 

Grind/deathowe trio BARREN nie zwalnia tempa i prezentuje Blades – drugi singiel zapowiadający płytę Verderf. Nowy album, będący następcą debiutanckiego I, ukaże się we wrześniu pod szyldem Selfmadegod Records. Więcej szczegółów poniżej.

Matías Dupont o utworze: Blades przedstawia świat, w którym wojna nie jest anomalią, lecz najczystszym ludzkim instynktem. Napędzana nienasyconym głodem władzy ludzkość pozostawia po sobie jedynie niekończące się pustkowie przemocy.

Nowy album pokazuje BARREN jako zespół konsekwentnie rozwijający swoją wizję ekstremalności w muzyce. Verderf nie jest jedynie powtórzeniem formuły znanej z debiutu, ale jej rozwinięciem i próbą wyciśnięcia jeszcze większej dawki brutalności oraz intensywności z bezkompromisowego połączenia grindcore’a i death metalu.

Posłuchaj Blades tutaj

Pierwszą zapowiedzią Verderf był singiel oraz teledysk do utworu Depraved. Obejrzyj tutaj

Premiera najnowszej płyty BARREN Verderf 25 września 2026. Album ukaże się na CD nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Triumphator - The Triumph of Satan T-SHIRT

-White print on black t-shirts (Gildan Heavy Cotton).

Predating the later Wings of Antichrist era, this recording capture Triumphator in its earliest and most primitive form: raw, violent and utterly possessed by the spirit of the underground. The Triumph of Satan stands as a document from the dawn of the band's existence, revealing the first sparks of the cult that Triumphator would become.
