“War is from Shadows”

Iron, Blood and Death Corporation 2025

Cofamy się dziś nieco w czasie. Konkretnie do końcówki ubiegłego roku, kiedy to premierę miał debiutancki album zespołu, którego już sama nazwa zachęca do sprawdzenia. Że o okładce zdobiącej „War is from Shadows” nie wspomnę. A jak dodam, że chłopaki pochodzą z Kolumbii, to już chyba każdy powinien stać na baczność. Wspomniałem, że to debiut, choć tak naprawdę bardziej uznałbym go za mini, bo zawiera niecałe dwadzieścia pięć minut muzyki, sześć kawałków plus outro. (Czytaj dalej...)

FILTH prezentują nowy numer

 

Today, Swedish death metallers Filth premiere the new track "Sadistic Ways" at the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, Death Exhibition, set for international release on September 11th via Me Saco Un Ojo Records and Rotted Life: Me Saco Un Ojo will release the album in Europe on CD and vinyl LP formats, while Rotted Life will release it in the United States on CD and cassette tape formats. Hear Filth's "Sadistic Ways" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Sweden's Filth have a knack for fitting album covers. The one to last year's celebrated Time to Rot debut album captured its psychedically putrid contents perfectly, and so does the cover to their sophomore full-length, Death Exhibition. Whereas that no-less-weighty debut LP proved Filth were true contenders to old-school death metal barbarity thawed in the present, Death Exhibition sees the power-trio sounding both more finessed and more barbaric. The formula has hardly changed, thankfully, but the foundations of their sound are expanded further here; whether it's the crude, tank-rolling crush of Grave's first two albums (including the dips into doomier territory on You'll Never See...) or the sooty angularity of Immolation's first two (the birth of the "backwards riff" sequence in DM), Filth go the distance in punishing the body and tormenting the mind on Death Exhibition.

Most poignant case in point: the dank crypt of instrumental "...Inhumed...," where flanged-out bass begins the plummet to unfathomable depths, establishing both atmosphere and physical presence of a most intimidating nature, and then carried to its conclusion in companion instrumental "...Exhumed...," where the chasm to (and from) that crypt becomes a hypnotically haunting trudge. Who else is doing such exemplary work with death metal instrumentals?

Naturally, other similarly old-school influences can be spotted - Demilich, Autopsy, Incantation, Finland's Abhorrence - but rest assured that Filth inject their own personality (and just a slight bit of weirdness) into the bubbling cauldron to remain authentic rather than ripping off someone else's past. Add in humid, wholly analog production and you truly have a Death Exhibition worth reckoning.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Sadistic Ways" exclusively HERE, courtesy of the Death Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Also hear the previously revealed "Mental Butchery" HERE at Me Saco Un Ojo's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Morbid Stench „Doom Metastasis”

 Morbid Stench

„Doom Metastasis”

Putrid Cult / Nuclear Winter Rec. 2026

Morbid Stench przedstawiać nikomu raczej nie trzeba. Zespół niemal od samego początku gości pod skrzydłami rodzimej Putrid Cult, a jeszcze wcześniej wydany został, na kasecie, przez Till You Fukkin Bleed, też przecież naszą. Szybko pod swoje skrzydła przyjęła go także, również uznana, Nuclear Winter Records. Nic w tym dziwnego, bo trio z Ameryki Środkowej jest gwarantem określonego poziomu, poniżej którego nie schodzi także przy okazji nowej, trzeciej już płyty. (Czytaj dalej...)

Drugi singiel MITTAGS-ABGRUND

 

Today, Russian black / death metallers Mittags-Abgrund reveal the new track "Aurora Consurgens." The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Mittags-Abgrund, set for international release on September 15th via Darkness Shall Rise Productions. Hear Mittags-Abgrund's "Aurora Consurgens" in its entirety HERE at Darkness Shall Rise's official YouTube channel.

"Brunnen der Ewigkeit! Du heiterer schauerlicher Mittags-Abgrund! Wann trinkst du meine Seele in dich zurück?"

Originally spawned in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2022 by sole member Sch., Mittags-Abgrund's album was a long time in the making, which Darkness Shall Rise now has the great pleasure of releasing. Although the self-titled full-length is Mittags-Abgrund's very first official release, it’s fortunately, in no way, plagued by any of the shortcomings one usually encounters with new bands. Instead, the album's nine epic anthems (including intro and outro), together clocking in at 48 minutes, boast with confidence and pridefully storm from victory to victory. Sonically, successfully blurring musically the line between black metal and death metal by organically merging elements from both genres into a vigorous hybrid, Sch.'s dynamic creations disclose compositional skill and musical aptitude alike. Guest musician F.’s mind-blowing drumming performance deserves to be highlighted, too. His skills are way above average and considerably contribute to the album’s appeal.

With lyrics entirely penned in his native Russian and performed in a strikingly versatile way– spanning sinister howling, grim croaking reminiscent of Armagedda, and clean chanting–while compositionally somewhat resembling the triumphant grandeur of Aeternus, Immortal, or Bölzer with a healthy dose of riffs akin to Morbid Angel thrown in for good measure, Mittags-Abgrund turned out a triumph on all levels.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Aurora Consurgens" HERE at Darkness Shall Rise's official YouTube channel. Also hear the previously revealed "Портреты моих предков" HERE, also at Darkness Shall Rise's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Wolfbastard „Satanic Scum Punks”

 

Wolfbastard

„Satanic Scum Punks”

Apocalyptic Witchcraft Rec. 2026

 

Uwielbiam takie odkrycia. Chociaż słowo „odkrycie” powinienem chyba napisać w cudzysłowie, bo Wolfbastard maja już na koncie trzy duże albumy, a milusio zatytułowany „Satanic Scum Punks” jest ich czwartym, wydanym w pierwszym kwartale bieżącego roku. Od kilku lat mam straszną fazę na granie punkowo / crustowo / blackmetalowe (choć z drugiej strony nie szperam w Internetach jak szalony), i taką właśnie muzykę gra trio pochodzące z Manchesteru.  (Czytaj dalej...)

Ci trzej panowie pochodzą z Barcelony, gdzie grają sobie razem od 2019 roku. Jedenastego septembra wyjdzie ich drugi krążek więc maniacy gęstych potraw oraz ci, którzy czekają na powtórkę z rozrywki od BOCC już niedługo, będą mogli się w nowych dźwiękach tej kapeli pławić. Jeśli nie słyszeliście poprzedniej, ani w ogóle żadnej produkcji BOCC, to musicie wiedzieć, że doom-death w ich wykonaniu robi wrażenie.  (Czytaj dalej...)
