„Ultra-Noise Warfare”

Iron Bonehead Prod. 2026

Kto ma ochotę na solidny death / grindowy wpierdol? O, widzę pan ma… Pani ma… Lubią państwo takie akty jak Terrorizer, Nausea, Repulsion, Nunslaughter czy Napalm Death? Lubią… No to proszę rozsiąść się wygodnie. Albo może raczej założyć mocne buty, bo będziemy ruszać w tan. Przy muzyce Profanation usiedzieć na dupsku się nie da. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Verderf”

Selfmadegod Records 2026

Świat lubi zaskakiwać nieznanymi dotąd kapelami, choć już trochę one istnieją, ale jakoś nie mogą wpaść w twoje łapy. Tym razem niespodzianka przyleciała z Belgii w postaci Barren, który jest tercetem i chyba najbardziej lubi pojawiać się na splitach, bo ma ich kilka w swojej kolekcji, co w stosunku do reszty ich dyskografii stanowi dominującą formę wydawniczą. (Czytaj dalej...)

Klip od AZARATH

 

Poland's leading underground death/black metal force AZARATH reveals “Herald of the Unseen” - the first single & music video from its forthcoming studio album, “Scorn Eternal”, set for release on November 20th via Agonia Records.

"Scorn Eternal" conjures a cataclysm of sinister blast beats and possessed riffs, shattering dogma in a blistering onslaught of sacrilegious death metal. Unyielding, malicious, and executed with surgical precision, the band continues to fuel the black flame with their line-up intact & fit for sonic carnage: drummer Inferno (from the ranks of Behemoth), guitarist Bart (Armageddon, Damnation), bassist Peter (ex-Lost Soul) and vocalist Skullripper (Embrional, Hellfuck). This time, the album is enriched with an epic feel and new elements that were not present in earlier recordings.

AZARATH crept from the shadows over two decades ago and stands as a pillar of uncompromising Polish death metal, often touted as a demonic mutation of Krisiun and Immolation. The band has spent seven acclaimed albums - most recently 2020’s “Saint Desecration” - decimating stages across Europe and building a ferocious reputation for relentless, blasphemous brutality.

Klip od IONS

 

Slovak Progressive Metallers IONS have released the official video for new single, "Entropy of Me," via Willowtip Records. The track features new vocalist Daniel Handak and is available on all streaming platforms.

Handak adds that, "'Entropy of Me' tries to capture inner dialogue with our overthinking brain, and the slow acceptance that sometimes it can trap us with guilt and unfounded fears. I often try to remind myself not to believe everything that I come across in my brain, and this song is one more reminder for myself and hopefully for others as well."

Reflecting on his experience as a new member recording a new single, Handak went on to say that, "while working on this song, I felt a bit paralyzed at first, since this was supposed to be the first song with the new lineup. I wanted it to be good, as you can imagine. But only once I finally let go of this fear that I wouldn't be able to fulfill some expectations, did we come up with some great lines and finish the song. I’m very happy with how it turned out and super excited to hear what you guys think about it."

TECHDEATH METALLERS ‘VICTIMS OF CONTAGION’ RELEASE NEW ALBUM ‘EGREGORE’ (Listen on Spotify)

Technical death metal band VICTIMS OF CONTAGION release new album ‘EGREGORE.” The album pushes the band’s blend of intricate, high-speed neoclassical arrangements and progressive structures to new levels. Elements of old-school death metal violently collide with polyrhythmic compositions to create a new blueprint for the band’s dynamic style.

VICTIMS OF CONTAGION, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were formed in 2007. After spending years on the underground touring circuit while releasing a string of independent demos, the band released their debut EP “Parasitic Unborn,” in 2014 and followed it up with their debut full-length “Lamentations of the Flesh Bound,” in 2019.

‘EGREGORE,’ is composed of high-energy extremity with hyper-accelerated tempos and blackened tremolo passages that seamlessly fuse with majestic atmospheres and crushing grooves. Every note was written, played and recorded with painstaking attention to detail, each passing second delving further into the darkness within.

Recenzja Throneum “Love is the Law but Death is the Frame”

“Love is the Law but Death is the Frame”

Godz ov War 2026

W zasadzie to przestałem już czekać na nowy album Throneum. Kiedy bowiem ostatni raz rozmawiałem z Tomkiem, vel Wielkim Egze, mówił, że zespół na razie leży odłogiem. Skoncentrował się w zamian na Giants Dwarfs And Black Holes,  tworze o kompletnie innej, zupełnie nieprzemawiającej do mnie stylistyce. Aż tu nagle dnia pewnego, muzykowi trafiło się dłuższe L-4, więc zamiast siedzieć w chałupie bezczynnie, wziął się i pierdolnął materiał na „Love is the Law but Death is the Frame”. (Czytaj dalej...)

Tak po prostu powinienem zacząć i zarazem zakończyć te wypociny, podając nazwisko gościa, który stoi za tym szyldem, bo to Rogga Johansson, ale jak już wpadł mi ten materiał do skrzynki, to jednak wypada coś napisać. Nie będzie tego wiele, ponieważ najnowszy krążek od Leper Colony nic nowego do szwedzkiego death metalu nie wnosi (Czytaj dalej...)

HAGEL zapowiadają nowy mini

 

On November 6th internationally, Personal Records is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Hagel, The Veil of Shadows, on CD format.

Hagel are a black-doom metal band from Monterrey, Mexico. Formed in 1995 by Carlos Velázquez (guitar), Luis Galindo (keyboards and vocals), Fernando Galindo (bass), and David Benavides (drums), the band emerged from the underground scene of northern Mexico. Between 1995 and 2000, Hagel developed an identity that fused dark melodies, dense atmospheres, and a melodic approach characteristic of '90s black metal. The band dissolved in 2000 following the departure of Luis Galindo, leaving behind songs that remained unreleased at the time.

Hagel draw influence from the atmospheric and melodic darkness of bands such as early Moonspell, Rotting Christ, Ophthalamia, Mortuary Drape, Katatonia, Empyrium, Samael, and Tiamat, blending these elements into a ritualistic and melancholic black-doom metal identity. As considerable as their critically acclaimed debut album was, the swift-yet-satisfying The Veil of Shadows crystalizes this identity with arguably the band's most powerful, poignant material to date: ancient mysticism writ large across a five-song / 21-minute canvas.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "The Withering Tongues" HERE at Personal Records' Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Hagel's The Veil of Shadows

1. The Withering Tongues [5:02]

2. Flesh Of The Gods [4:45]

3. Effluvium [4:28]

BARREN: premiera albumu "Verderf"

 

Selfmadegod Records przedstawia swoją najnowszą premierę wydawniczą – nowy album belgijskiego death/grindowego trio BARREN, Verderf. Zespół powraca z bezkompromisową porcją ekstremalnej muzyki na brutalne czasy, w której ciężar death metalu spotyka się z chaotyczną energią grindu. Krążek został wydany 25 września 2026 roku.

Verderf to płyta intensywna i bezpośrednia, pokazująca zespół w szczytowej formie. BARREN porusza się na niej pomiędzy deathmetalową ciężkością a grindcore’ową wściekłością, tworząc dźwięk równie brutalny, co dynamiczny. To bez wątpienia najbardziej agresywny i mroczny materiał w dotychczasowej dyskografii zespołu, idealnie oddając naturę otaczającej rzeczywistości skoncentrowanej na nieograniczonym konsumpcjonizmie oraz żądzy władzy.

Verderf promowany jest teledyskiem do utworu Depraved (obejrzyj tutaj) oraz singlem Blades (posłuchaj tutaj)

Split EMBRACE OF THORNS / INVOCATION końcem października

 

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces October 30th as the international release date for Invoking the Noumenon / Crushing the Feeble Messianic Embrace, a special split mini-album between Embrace of Thorns and Chile's Invocation, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.

Totaling six songs across 22 minutes, Invoking the Noumenon / Crushing the Feeble Messianic Embrace unites Greece's Embrace of Thorns and Chile's Invocation, each offering three exclusive new tracks. For nearly 30 years, Embrace of Thorns have been crafting a considerable catalog of blackened, bestial death metal of a most ancient order. With two martial, bulldozing doses of that characteristic bestiality plus a tensely hushed outro serving as a bridge between both sides, their reunification with Iron Bonehead here is also their first recorded work since 2022's towering Entropy Dynamics. Invocation's last record came in 2024, the debut album The Archaic Sanctuary (Ritual Body Postures), after years of legwork on the short-length front. As such, the Chileans still know how to reap the whirlwind when it comes to quick bursts of hammering & haunting black/death; their three tracks here are classic South American madness made manifest through sulfurous execution and sepulchral atmosphere. In short: a MANDATORY alliance!

Tracklisting for Invoking the Noumenon / Crushing the Feeble Messianic Embrace

1. Embrace of Thorns - Life-Strife-Transgression

2. Embrace of Thorns - Destroyer of all Maladies

3. Embrace of Thorns - Mundo vai acabar - Hipersublime (Outro)

4. Invocation - Altar of Unseen Prayers

5. Invocation - Impetuous

6. Invocation - The Shattered Torch

PARALICYST wypuścili EP-kę

 

Pacific Northwest Death Metal legion Paralicyst have released their debut EP, Destruction of Sanity! Drawing inspiration from titans like Obituary, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse, the band blends punishing riffs, crushing rhythms, and savage vocal assaults into a sound that feels both nostalgic and devastatingly fresh.

The new EP packages a range of styles within a traditional death metal framework. Old school and thrashing death, shades of the blackened, and slamming intensity, it's all here and it's all devastating!

Forged in the chaos of 2019, Paralicyst emerged from the PNW metal scene with a mission to channel the raw power and uncompromising spirit of classic death metal.

The band’s early formation included guitarist Ray Eversole (Cruciation, Tormentium), bassist Nik Harris ( Digitalviolence, Monday With A Bullet, In The Name of God), and drummer Greg Kholer (Gods in Graves, Cruciation, Father Figure, CIA Hippie Mind Control). In 2022 the lineup solidified with Lou of Malevolent Supremacy and Lude joining on vocals, further sharpening the band’s sonic assault.

In 2024, Mikey Murderz (Sakrificer, Innocent Blood) stepped in to take command of vocal duties, bringing a vicious new edge to the band’s sound, while also handling the recording, mixing, and mastering duties on the EP

Now operating with their strongest lineup yet, Paralicyst is poised to carve their mark into the underground with an unrelenting barrage of riffs, blast beats, and infernal energy.
