Bardzo
rzadko sięgam po klasyczny heavy metal. Nigdy nie byłem przesadnym fanem, ot,
poznałem, i do dziś cenię kilku klasyków, czasem pobawiłem się przy takiej
muzyce na imprezach, i starczy. Dość powiedzieć, że na półce nie mam chyba ani
jednej płyty z tego gatunku. Po co zatem sięgnąłem po Absolute Power? Z
banalnego powodu. Zaciekawił mnie skład tworzący ten zespół. (Czytaj dalej...)
Na swoim trzecim albumie
Det Eviga Leendet podtrzymuje styl w jakim komponuje black metal i w dalszym
ciągu raczy swoich fanów, wielowarstwową i pełną napięcia muzyką. Panowie nie
poprzestają na pisaniu diabelszczyzny, która składa się z jednostajnych,
głównych tekstur, stanowiących dość gęstą ścianę dźwięku. (Czytaj dalej...)
NΩX – the sinister new creation from Vindsval – unveil 'T.S. / Testimonium XII - Somniatoris Damnati' as the first and only single taken from their nightmarish upcoming debut album, "Stases".
Emerging from the shadow of BLUT AUS NORD, NΩX is its ominous echo. First manifestation "Stases" is a raw and primitive expression of abyssal avant-Black Metal: stark, nocturnal and uncompromising.
Vindsval comments:
"We are proud to present 'T.S / Testimonium XII - Somniatoris Damnati', the first track unveiled from "Stases", the debut album by the entity NΩX and the opening chapter of a new musical adventure ... an incursion into territories where sonic matter distorts and decays, reaching its most extreme and sinister frontiers. NΩX was born of this necessity: to push the exploration of the abyss ever further, to probe the most inhospitable strata of sound, and to give form to that which lies dormant in the most obscure recesses of our musical universe.
We are fully aware that many will question the decision not to release this music under the name BLUT AUS NORD, given the unmistakable lineage. The answer is simple: this is not our intention. BLUT AUS NORD's short- and medium-term plans are taking an entirely different direction. Nevertheless, NΩX is inextricably linked to BLUT AUS NORD: it is a genuine offshoot, taking shape through its most obscure echoes...it is this unfathomable abyss that we intend to explore through "Stases".
"MoRT", "Deus Salutis Meæ" and "Nahab" are the dark foundations upon which the discography of NΩX will be erected...

5th album from 2026 by Swiss Death Metal veterans NIHILO, “Abyss” represents another step forward for a band that has spent almost 25 years developing a career defined by constant evolution and unstoppable growth. Their sound combines intense, brutal and heavy Death Metal with crushing riffs, aggression and a powerful dark atmosphere, retaining the spirit of the Old School while benefiting from a fully modern production and execution. A new chapter in NIHILO’s consolidation as one of the strongest and most consistent bands in the Swiss Death Metal scene.
“Abyss” further develops the sound NIHILO have built throughout their career, balancing the violence and weight of Death Metal with dynamic songwriting and a strong emphasis on guitar work. An especially recommended release for those who enjoy powerful and direct European Death Metal, with clear connections to the tradition of MALEVOLENT CREATION, VADER, SINISTER, MORBID ANGEL and GRAVE, while remaining firmly rooted in the distinctive character of a band that continues to grow and evolve without abandoning its foundations.
On November 4th internationally, Amor Fati Productions will release Mists' highly anticipated debut album, Summoning Eternity, on CD and vinyl LP formats. And today, the Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel streams the album in its entirety. Hear Mists' Mists in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Mists is a new Belgian/American project among the trio of H. (Oerheks, Silver Knife, Häxenzijrkell...), C.V.B. (Aerdryk, Erbeet Azhak, Wolvennest...) and S.G. (Vox Clamantis, Dashuyn...). Together, they set out to create an eerie path through broken tombstones and forgotten crypts.
The trio's first public work, Summoning Eternity comprises two epic-length tracks for a total of 39 stultifying minutes. Slow and brooding at first, flowing into a mad frenzy towards death, and wisping & winding through an alternately impenetrable / ethereal fog of atmosphere and hysteria, Mists indeed accomplish their debut album's namesake. With some strange alchemical magick, the band weave a richly hypnotic tapestry that's both stridently black metal and residing simultaneously above and below it - vaporous Mists on high, inky depths where no life dwells. And for all its shifts into spiraling violence - internal rather than external, as it were - Summoning Eternity retains a shimmering melodicism that evokes a sense of wonder, guiding the listener on a spectral journey through eternal graves and ancient carved miseries. Blaeks' artwork completes the totality in stark & stunning fashion.
On the eve of its international release, hear Mists in its entirety exclusively HERE, courtesy of the Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
"Elysia is an explosion of intensity in all kinds of directions. To call it an ambitious album would be an understatement. Hyperion never creates music with half measures and this is the ultimate statement of that. It is different from Seraphical Euphony, but still contains the vital elements that make us what we are. To make this album a reality has been a titanic effort and we are beyond excited to finally have it released to the world."
Lubię
splity. I lubię piosenki, które już kiedyś słyszałem. A to wydawnictwo mi to,
przynajmniej w większości, zapewnia. Dlatego po nie sięgnąłem. Bez obaw, że
mnie rozczaruje, zupełnie jak bym kupował ulubione bursztynowe w sprawdzonym
pubie. No to walnijmy cztery szybkie. Najpierw Exhumed. Dwa kawałki w typowym dla
siebie Carcassowym klimacie z okresu „Tool of the Trade”. (Czytaj dalej...)
Po trzech latach przerwy
wraca z nowym albumem belgijski Herzog. Panowie wysmażyli na nim sześć numerów,
które tak jak poprzednio niosą ze sobą black metal w ujęciu „Herzog”. Rzecz
jasna jego podstawą są typowe formy, z których konstruowano tą muzykę przy
rozpętywaniu drugiej fali gatunku, wzniecając przy okazji kilka pożarów oraz
posyłając parę osób do piachu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Today, Hungarian death metallers Vér premiere the new track "A Féreg Pusztulása" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, A Féreg Pusztulása, set for international release on December 3rd via Me Saco Un Ojo Records. Hear Vér's "A Féreg Pusztulása" in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Today, avant-garde extreme metallers Deiphago reveal the new track "Undeified." The track is the first to be revealed from the band's band’s long-awaited sixth album, Hexessence Satan, which will see international during the first half of next year via Hells Headbangers. Hear Deiphago's "Undeified" in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.
State the band, "We chose 'Undeified' as the first single from Hexessence Satan because it represents exactly how far we have pushed Deiphago's music on this album. It is one of the most twisted, dissonant, and uncompromising compositions we have ever recorded. The guitars are unconventional, the drumming constantly shifts the direction and momentum of the music, and the arrangements go beyond the usual structures associated with black metal and war metal. At over eight minutes long, we didn't choose this song for accessibility. We chose it because it makes a statement.
"Conceptually, 'Undeified' represents the fifth operation of Hexessence Satan - the abolition of divinity. This is not about Satan overthrowing God and taking his place. It is about the complete elimination of divinity itself. No throne is inherited. The throne is abolished.
"We wanted the first single to confront listeners with the musical direction of this record without revealing the entire seven-operation progression. 'Undeified' captures the violence, dissonance, and unpredictability of Deiphago while showing a level of composition and musical development we have never attempted before. This is not about following what black metal or war metal is supposed to sound like. It is about taking our music somewhere it has never been."
Dziś
zaglądamy na kontynent południowoamerykański, a konkretnie do kraju, którego
drużyna na ostatnim mundialu zdawała się być bardzo w oczach sędziów uprzywilejowana.
Czwarty, a drugi pod banderą Putrid Cult, album Abominablood stał się faktem
już jakiś czas temu, więc część z was być może miała już okazję się z nim
zapoznać. Tych, którzy jeszcze nie zdążyli, będą mocno zachęcał. (Czytaj dalej...)
Hagel to damsko-męski
skład z Meksyku, który ma trudną historię za sobą, gdyż powstał już dawno, bo w
1995 roku, ale po pewnych kłopotach swoje nagrania objawił światu dopiero pięć
lat temu, wydając debiutancką płytę. Obecnie kwintet ten wraca z nową epką, na
której kontynuuje wcześnie obrany styl, czyli black-doom metal. (Czytaj dalej...)
