„Medieval Devourer”

Purity Through Fire 2026

Nightgnawer przewinął się już przez Apocalyptic Rites, a było to z trzy lata temu, kiedy napisałem kilka słów na temat ich kolaboracyjnego wydawnictwa z WulfSeer. W międzyczasie Finowie wydali jeszcze album z gatunku „live” (nie rozumiem zabiegu, skoro nie mają jeszcze ani jednej dużej płyty, ale ja się nie znam), a dziś powracają nową EP-ką, zawierającą pięć nowych ścieżek. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Morgonglöd”

Vidfare / NoEvDia 2026

Zapewne wiecie, że jest to projekt Ariocha vel Mortuusa, w ramach którego tworzy muzykę elektroniczną. Pod koniec marca wyda pod tym szyldem, jak mi się zdaje, trzeci album, który zawiera sześć kompozycji o hipnotycznym charakterze. DomJord, to plumkanie, na które składają się takie elementy jak dark ambient, dungeon synth, minimal i trochę noisu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Singiel od SICARIUS

 

Today, reanimated black metallers Sicarius premiere the new track "Nex" - featuring Mayhem's Charles Hedger - at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated third album, Nex, set for international release on April 10th via Adirondack Black Mass. Hear Sicarius' title track "Nex" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

SI_CA_RI_US

Latin. “Assassin, Murderer Dagger-Man, Slayer. Killer”

Formed in early 2014 by Argyris and Carnage, the idea behind Sicarius was to embody the fury and violent spirit of black metal. Drawing heavy inspiration from the artists of first- and second-wave acts from Scandinavia, Greece, and the US, Sicarius inject their potent cocktail of black metal with elements of American aggression like thrash, death metal, goth, and rock.

In 2024, the two would write and begin recording their long-awaited third album, Nex: a gritty and ultraviolent crime drama of an album, pulling influences from bands like Bathory, Rotting Christ, Dissection, Mayhem, Urghehal, Marduk, Absu, and fusing in elements from groups like Type O Negative. It would be here that Sicarius would welcome new vocalist Akefalos to the lineup, where his soaring vocal style would make its debut, replacing longtime vocalist K. Karcass.

Sicarius also contributed to a split released at the end of 2024 called We’ll Meet You Where the Ravens Circle with SoCal black metal band Withermoon, where the former would rewrite and rerecord two songs from their demo days.

Nex is the culminating flatline of the death and rebirth of a band too pissed off to stay deceased: a 10-track story about loss, death, retribution, and fury that honors tradition while being unafraid to venture on its own.

Sicarius is hungry, Sicarius is ready.

Sicarius wants to hunt again.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new title track "Nex" exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSinging.com. Also hear the previously revealed "An Aptitude for Elimination" HERE at Adirondack Black Mass' official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Drugi album GALIBOT w maju

 

GALIBOT is a melodic black metal band — but it is also the name given to children who were sent to work in the mines of northern France. And for good reason, as the quintet hails from there.

Initiated in 2023 by Thomas, Agathe and Clément, the project, initially a studio project, aims to establish a parallel between the raw and visceral dark matter that is coal and black metal music. Wallers-Arenberg, the name of the town where the project was born and which bears the scars of the mining industry, was the demo for what was still only a trio.

In 2024, “Euch’mau Noir” — “The Black Devil” in Ch’ti — was released, an album portraying the North as the devil’s cradle, a harsh and infernal land.

Following the release of their first album, ‘Euch’Mau Noir’, Galibot decided to try their hand at live performances, and Julian and Rob joined the band. This collaboration ultimately led them to write their second album together, this time as a five-piece, to be released next May on Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions.

“La Catabase” is the descent of the epic hero into the underworld; and where mythology gives it this definition, Galibot takes hold of it and turns the mine into that infernal dimension into which miners descended, only to be swallowed. In the wake of Euch Mau Noir, we continue to explore the dark and infernal identity of Northern France—but not only that.

With this new album, structured in two parts, we sometimes leave the mine behind to explore other infernal facets of Northern France, through its history, its folk legends, its landscapes… a macabre and spiritual epic!

The result is a more nuanced album, marked by more varied themes and compositions, as well as a stronger, more polished production. Galibot delivers an uncompromising record that explores, in its own way, slices of life from a violent past.

GALIBOT, will also be hitting the road to offer a cavernous live experience of fire and ashes.

Nowy MALHKEBRE pod koniec kwietnia

 

Active since 2002, the band serves as a spiritual vessel for its vocalist/founder Eklezjas’Tik Berzerk, alongside his acolytes Shamaanik B. (drums) and S. Evangelista (guitars/bass).

After branding the Underground with their first two albums, “Revelation” (2014) and “Satanic Resistance” (2019), MALHKEBRE resurfaced with a cassette in 2023, followed by an EP in 2025.

Each of these musical chalices revealed a new facet of the band — a progression toward the musical maturity now embodied at the core of “B.A.M.N.”, the new album set for release on April 30, 2026.

Heavier, darker, more ritualistic and declamatory, “B.A.M.N.” is a Gospel dripping with pain, violence, and rebellion. A Holy Word calling for the overthrow of old idols to establish a New Spiritual Order — music that forges new Black Metal dogmas upon the ruins of the old.

The cover artwork was created by Metastazis: "It's not part of the current Black Metal scene standard and we love it! It totally matches our vision of what we were looking for B.A.M.N. We don't follow any trends!"

"B.A.M.N." is not just another Black Metal album, but a record that restores the will to create at the very heart of the harshest musical orthodoxy.

Recenzja Foetorem “Incongruous Forms of Evergrowing Rot”

 Foetorem

“Incongruous Forms of Evergrowing Rot”

Everlasting Spew Rec. 2026

Już wieki temu pewien literacki wieszcz głosił, że „There’s something rotten in the state of Demnark”. Podobnie sygnalizowali pijacy z Illdisposed, niemal trzy dekady wstecz. I chyba faktycznie, coś w tym musi być, bo oto fetor właśnie rozlał się z pełną siłą osobliwego wręcz wszechogarniającego gnicia. Dokładnie takiego, jakie lubię najbardziej. (Czytaj dalej...)
