When
it comes to Dying Victims, it's clear that we're traveling in a time machine to
the metal Middle Ages. In other words, in our times, somewhere around the
1980s, because it's rare for this label to release bands inspired by a later
period. Aggressive Perfector is no exception. The band comes from the British
Isles, and “Come Creeping Fiends” is their second full-length album. (Continue reading)
To nowa „supergrupa”

On April 12th internationally, Purity Through Fire is proud to present Ildfar's highly anticipated fourth album, Der ligger et land, on digipack CD format.
Norway's Ildfar are something of an enigma. The band formed all the way back in 1994, by vocalist / multi-instrumentalist Favn, but left behind only one demo in 2003. However, upon reactivating in 2018, Ildfar began blazing a trail of ancient-days Norse black metal with a quick succession of albums. So pure, so cold, this trio of records landed on such esteemed labels as Northern Silence and Wolfspell, but now under the banner of Purity Through Fire, Ildfar are prepared to blaze a new "old" trail.
Witness Der ligger et land. Immediately, Ildfar's fourth album distinguishes itself with the much-more-measured mid-tempo pace and, most strikingly, largely clean vocals. However, before any worries of a slackening of black metal ethos arise, one need only listen to Der ligger et land to understand that Favn is picking up the torch left behind by Isengard's Høstmørke and expanding the (old, icy) canvas in compellingly new ways. To be sure, there's plenty of Ildfar's previous, strictly-Norse fire here - just the recording alone evokes a solemn nostalgia for those forgotten realms - but Favn is stretching apart those sensations in a manner that's mystical, mesmerizing, and AMAZING. Also to be sure, there've been other sympatico souls who've likewise reinvigorated Isengard's template - namely, the axis of LIK, Lönndom, and Ehlder as well as Sweden's stalwart Grift - but Ildfar's songwriting here is noticeably more melodic, utilizing clean(er) guitars to stunning effect, and overall textures that suggest stargazing rather than forest-roaming.
Whatever way you arrive at Der ligger et land, it's guaranteed you'll be possessed to press "play" over and over again, luxuriating deeper into those textures and finding ever more new details with each spin. In short, Ildfar have delivered an unsuspecting masterpiece.

Nadszedł
taki dzień, że zachciało mi się posłuchać jakiegoś grinda. A na poletko z tym
gatunkiem zaglądam raczej sporadycznie. No, ale za tym, by dać szansę Melting
Rot przemawiało przynajmniej kilka czynników. Po pierwsze – zajebista nazwa. Bo
nie, że rozkład, ale wręcz taki obślizgły, niejednego zapewne przyprawiający o
mdłości. (Czytaj dalej...)
Może znacie, bo ja, jak
dotąd nie, ale już znam. Ci czterej panowie są z Waszyngtonu, lecz w żadnym
razie na Iran napadać nie zamierzają. Napadają za to na swoich fanów drugim już
w swojej karierze krążkiem. Amerykańce szyją grindujący metal śmierci, który
podąża przed siebie w zmiennych tempach, zasypując blastami, miażdżącymi
zwolnieniami i bardziej skocznymi akordami. (Czytaj dalej...)
Today, Portuguese true metallers Toxikull premiere the new track "Turbulence" at heavily trafficked web-portal Metal.de. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated fourth album, Turbulence, set for international release on April 24th via Dying Victims Productions. Hear Toxikull’s title track "Turbulence" in its entirety exclusively HERE.
RATS WILL FEAST have shared their new single “Frail Bones”, offering a new glimpse into their upcoming EP, "An Evocation", set for release on April 3rd, 2026 via Time To Kill Records.
The track drowns the listener in a whirlpool and only lets them surface when silence descends. The song is a microcosm of the band's crude and excruciating beauty that can be found in the eye of the storm. It sways between the violent outbursts of twisting and winding rhythms, raw riffage and moments of solemn quiet adorned with weeping melodies.
”Frail Bones” is about the numbing mediocrity that comes from the outside, which often makes us give in, submit and be pleased with our condition. As the legendary Finnish hardcore band Hero Dishonest sings, it’s ”Less of something you don't want.”
Turkish black metal pioneers Moribund Oblivion have unveiled the official music video for “In the Middle of the Dark Chaos,” a powerful track taken from their latest album INTERTEMPORAL. The new video captures the dark atmosphere and intense sonic identity that the band has refined over more than two decades in the black metal scene.
“In the Middle of the Dark Chaos” delivers a relentless blend of aggression, atmosphere, and philosophical depth, reflecting the conceptual themes explored throughout INTERTEMPORAL. The track was written by Bahadır Uludağlar, who also composed the music and lyrics, while the arrangements were developed collectively by Moribund Oblivion. The song’s crushing sound was mixed by Feyzi Ocak and mastered by Erman Aydöner at Lavega Sound Studio, ensuring a powerful and immersive listening experience.
On May 8th internationally, Personal Records is proud to present Goholor's highly anticipated debut album, Locus Damnatorum, on CD format.
Goholor arose from the depths of suffering in Slovakia in 2010 at the instigation of two maniacs Demo (guitars / scream) and Anton (growl). Gradually, Pio (drums) and Erik (bass) joined. In 2016, the quartet released their debut EP, In Saeculis Obscuris. Thematically, Goholor focus on the dark and demonic side of society, such as hypocrisy, perversion, insensitivity, and obsession with religion.
Now, at long last, Goholor are set to release their first full-length, Locus Damnatorum. Not for nothing does the band's moniker mean "ascend" in the Enochian dictionary: Goholor's blackened death metal retains an acute balance of timelessness and freshness sure to garner the band widespread attention across genre lines. The quartet possess superlative chops, and promptly put them in the service of stridently linear songwriting; while nothing across Locus Damnatorum could quite qualify as "catchy" verse / chorus fare, these song constructions also safely elude riff-salad aimlessness, instead diving headlong into coiling labyrinths of METAL memorability. Indeed, Goholor here are something of a throwback to black / death's late '90s heyday, variously recalling the likes of Unanimated, Necrophobic, Sacramentum, Gates of Ishtar, and Sweden's Sacrilege, but there's just as equally their own personality injected into their atmospheric muscle. And all of this luxurious crunch is heightened by the esteemed Tore Stjerna's mixing & mastering at Necromorbus Studios.
"Filthy minds and darkened acts bring insane tomorrow"! Sorrow!
