Recenzja Alarm! „Alarm!”

 Alarm!

„Alarm!”

Armageddon Label 2024

Dobra, dość tego metalu, schłodzone piwo się leje, kolega przyszedł w odwiedziny, to czas się pobawić z przytupem. Żadną nowością bowiem jest, że zimny bursztyn najlepiej wchodzi przy odpowiedniej muzyce. A taką jest bez wątpienia debiutancki materiał Szwedów. Czy to duża płyta, jak to sygnuje wydawca, to bym polemizował, bo „Alarm!” zawiera jedynie dwadzieścia minut muzyki. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja KLYSMA „Death”

 KLYSMA

„Death”

Amputated Vein Records 2024

Belgijska betoniarka prowadzona od samych swych narodzin żelazną ręką przez Roy’a Feyen’a zajechała po raz trzeci i po raz trzeci wylała na nasze głowy obrzydliwą zawiesinę złożoną z drobnego gruzu, betonu i piachu zaprawionego ciepłymi jeszcze wnętrznościami. W chuj brutalny, miażdżący i obłąkany to album, a chore wibracje, które wylewają się z niego całymi wręcz cysternami, paraliżują ośrodkowy układ nerwowy i wywracają wnętrzności z gracją buldożera. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Lifvsleda „Evangelii Härold”

 Lifvsleda

„Evangelii Härold”

NoEvDia 2024

Minęły dwa lata i mamy kolejny krążek od Lifvsleda. Przyznam szczerze, że jakoś specjalnie nie czekałem na ten album, gdyż poprzedni „Sepulklar Dedikation” nie zrobił na mnie szczególnego wrażenia. Był to materiał poprawny, którego dobrze się słuchało, ale brakowało tam przysłowiowej kropki nad i. Tamten black metal miał oczywiście swój klimat, lecz użyte w nim nadmiernie melancholijne chwytliwości nadto go rozmywały, a w porównaniu do jeszcze wcześniejszych nagrań tego duetu wydawał się dużo delikatniejszy. (Czytaj dalej...)

Singiel od CRANIAL DISORDER

 

Moshpit Nation is hosting the exclusive premiere of "Compulsive Savagery", the new single from Indonesian death metal squad CRANIAL DISORDER. Stream it HERE.

The band have signed to Lethal Scissor Records for the release of their debut album "Congenital Depravity", due out on July 10th 2024.

The fresh eight track offering “Congenital Depravity” marks the outfit’s Lethal Scissor Records debut, and is the successor to their acclaimed “PromoSick 2022” demo. Formed in 2019, CRANIAL DISORDER has brought a breath of fresh air to the scene and has delighted fans and underground connoisseurs alike.

With this album, CRANIAL DISORDER continue to sharpen their sound, which faithfully captures the essence of late ‘90s and early 2000’s brutal death metal. The band’s influences are no secret, but rattling off a list of classic death metal influences doesn’t do justice to the impact that CRANIAL DISORDER achieve with their music, a sound that is as relentless as it is morbid.

The songs are generally aggressive and pummeling, leaving the listener with little or no respite from the assault, but even at breakneck speed, there’s a compositional intricacy on display. Riff is piled upon monstrous riff and razor-wire solos slice, gleaming, through filth as CRANIAL DISORDER bring us a new level of sickening death metal power.

For fans of: Suffocation, Disgorge, Disavowed, Pyaemia

Tracklist:

01. Kobar Bumi
02. The Remained Lust
03. Perpetual Dismemberment
04. Period of Atrocity
05. Inebriated Flesh
06. Exalting the Perversion
07. Compulsive Savagery
08.
Traitor

Recenzja Zorza „Hellven”

 Zorza

„Hellven”

Godz ov War 2024

No tak, Zorzy jeszcze w katalogu polskiego black metalu nie było. No to już jest. To znaczy pojawiła się na nieboskłonie już w zeszłym roku, za sprawą wypuszczonej w formacie CD i cyfrowym EP-ki „EIE”, jednak jakoś to zjawisko przeoczyłem. Tym razem wydawca zadbał, bym materiał odsłuchał, i tak oto „Hellven” wylądowało w moim odtwarzaczu. I cóż ja biedny mogę powiedzieć, by po raz kolejny nie zabrzmiało to niczym banał. Nasza krajowa scena to w tej chwili mistrzostwo świata i okolic, a kolejnym dowodem na to jest właśnie ”Hellven”. (Czytaj dalej.../ Read here)

Recenzja GINNUNGAGAP „Heliacal Arising”

 GINNUNGAGAP

„Heliacal Arising”

Signal Rex 2023

 
Ginnungagap to Portugalski hord, o którym wiadomo, tyle, że jest, wydał jak dotąd trzy materiały i że należy obok m.in. Nox Insultum, Ordem Satânica, Lycanthropic Winter Moon, czy Voëmmr  do tajnego stowarzyszenia Aldebaran Circle. Z owym stowarzyszeniem to też ciekawa sprawa jest, niby tajne, skryte i podziemne, a w zasadzie wiedzą o nim wszyscy i nazwa owego kręgu wykorzystywana jest powszechnie w materiałach promocyjnych zespołów doń należących. (Czytaj dalej...)

Singiel od DARKEND

 

As Italian black metal act DARKEND prepares for the June 14th arrival of their "Viaticum" full-length through Time To Kill Records, today, a video for “De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis” has been unveiled. Watch it HERE.

"Viaticum" flows out from the Sacred Spaciousness beyond duality, enshrouding its Silent Nature with the voice of ancient ceremonial chants, dungeon synth ambience and sulphur riffs engraved on arcane metal patterns. Combining shades that span from Mercyful Fate to Dissection (“An Incautious Exhumation Of What Lies Beneath Forgotten Ground”) and from Dead Can Dance (“In Your Multitude”) to Arvo Pärt (“In My Multitude”), the album enlightens an immersive and cathartic pathway towards the deepest hidden fields of who we really are.

Tracklist:

01. In My Multitude
02. An Incautious Exhumation Of What Lies Beneath Forgotten Ground
03. De Masticatione Mortuorum In Tumulis
04. An Ancient Plague Has Silently Worn Our Garments As Its Throne
05. 
In Your Multitude

 

Nowy numer od FEED THEM DEATH

 

Cvlt Nation is hosting the exclusive premiere of "Two Minutes Hate", a blistering track from FEED THEM DEATH's new album "The Malady". This latest preview from the band's new effort is now streaming at THIS LOCATION.

“The Malady” is the fifth release by Death-Grind project FEED THEM DEATH, and it will be released via Brucia Records on June 20th, 2024 on digital and a special limited edition containing CD, Tape with low-fi one take rehearsals, a personalized notebook and a pin all placed inside a black mortuary bag.

3 years exactly after the critically acclaimed “Negative”, FEED THEM DEATH are back with another slab of fast, dissonant and chaotic anti-music.

Eleven new tracks eccentrically fusing Grindcore, Death Metal, D-beat, Sludge, 80’s Crust-Punk / Thrashcore and Noise Rock with a deconstructed and improvisational jazz sensibility.

Nowy BLOOD FEAST w lipcu

 

Blood Feast has been transformed yet again. Nearly five years in the making, with many twists and turns along the way, the band’s fourth album, Infinite Evolution, will see international release via Hells Headbangers on July 12th on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

In lieu of this announcement, the band
reveal the new video "Outbreak." See & hear Blood Feast's "Outbreak" video in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.

Continuing on from 2017’s The Future State Of Wicked, the band keeps the thrash vicious, as one would expect. Yet, this time out, the boundaries are expanded. There have been changes in the ranks, as original guitarist Adam Tranquilli has now added lead vocal duties, and co-guitarist/producer CJ Scioscia has taken on more of the songwriting. Drummer Adam Kieffer remains (he came onboard for the band’s 2019 EP Chopped, Sliced & Diced), while bassist extraordinaire Mike LePond of Symphony X lent his impressive talents on the low end.

Songs such as "Outbreak," "Never Will I Die," and "Of Hell" retain the Blood Feast tradition of fast and furious. However, the limits are pushed out a bit further into a tech/prog direction on "Eye Of Glass" and album closer "The Chosen." With a production straddling the line between modern and old school, Infinite Evolution shows diversity, yet without sacrificing the speed or heaviness.

With the lineup now solidified by the addition of Dave Kramer on bass, Blood Feast is itching to get these songs aired in public. New adventures await, and new frontiers are ready to be conquered. Infinite Evolution is the key to the journey.

In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new video for "Outbreak" 
HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Lethe „Alienation”

 Lethe

„Alienation”

Dark Essence Records 2024

To moje pierwsze spotkanie z tym szwajcarsko-norweskim projektem, który został założony w 2012 roku przez Annę Murphy znanej z udziału w Cellar Darling i Tor-Helge Skei z kapeli Manes. Widząc te nazwy, od razu wiedziałem z czym przyjdzie mi obcować i nie byłem zaskoczony, gdy uruchomiłem odtwarzacz. Na „Alienation”, który jest trzecim albumem tego duetu można usłyszeć muzykę, święcącą już kiedyś swe triumfy. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Dissolve Into Ash”

Dark Symphonies 2023

I oto moi drodzy kolejny powrót zza grobu stał się faktem. Po 28 latach powrócił bowiem z drugim, pełnym krążkiem amerykański Dusk, czyli zespół, który w roku 1995 nagrał miażdżący „…Majestic Thou In Ruin”. Można śmiało powiedzieć, że „Dissolve Into Ash” to materiał, który kroczy tymi samymi ścieżkami, co jego poprzednik sprzed prawie trzech dekad. (Czytaj dalej...)

A review of Noxis “Violence Inherent in the System”

 Noxis

“Violence Inherent in the System”

Rotted Life / Dawnbreed Records 2024

 


Noxis was brought to life five years ago. Since then the gentlemen have been treading the old-school, righteous path, serving all sorts of minor releases systematically along the way. So there was a demo, an EP, a split with Cavern Womb, as well as live material from Joe's garage. Well, but finally it’s time for a full album, and here it is. “Violence Inherent In the System” is almost fifty minutes of death metal in the vein for a more ambitious audience. (Continue reading...)

Recenzja Seth „La France Des Maudits”

 Seth

„La France Des Maudits”

Season Of Mist 2024

Siódmy album tej francuskiej kapeli to osiem kawałków przepięknego black metalu, z którym miałem nieszczęście obcować przez ponad trzy kwadranse, ale udało mi się jakoś wyjść z tego cało. Nie będę jednak temu sekstetowi szpilek wbijał, bo to kolejny materiał, który nie jest skierowany do mnie, a panowie kupę pracy w niego zapewne włożyli, ponieważ brzmi to wybornie, a że trochę podczas słuchania mdli to chyba nic wielkiego dla dorosłego mężczyzny więc nie będę się mazgaił. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja ETHELYN „Anhedonic”

 ETHELYN

„Anhedonic”

Putrid Cult 2024

To, co tworzy Ethelyn z Opoczna, śledzę praktycznie od samego początku ich działalności, czyli od 1998 roku i wydanego w tymże roku materiału demo zatytułowanego „Soulerosion”, który to mniej, lub bardziej oficjalnie wydała wówczas nieistniejąca już Dagdy Music. Z niejednego pieca panowie chleb jedli, a ich muzyka cały czas ewoluowała. (Czytaj dalej...)

WORMROT już za dwa tygodnie w Poznaniu

 

Singapurski, grindcore’owy skład Wormrot powraca do Polski! Autorzy znakomitego “Hiss” z 2022 roku wystąpią 13 czerwca na deskach poznańskiego klubu Pod Minogą.

Mimo że Wormrot opisują siebie jako zespół grindcore’owy, to swoją twórczością pokazują, że używanie tego terminu w niczym ich nie ogranicza, a wykraczanie poza gatunkowe ramy jest dla nich czymś naturalnym. Znakomitym tego przykładem jest ostatni jak dotąd, czwarty w ich dorobku duży album “Hiss”, który ukazał się w lipcu 2022 roku nakładem Earache Records. I oczywiście, wciąż mamy tu do czynienia z szaleńczymi tempami i ścianą dźwięku generalnie, ale kompozycje Wormrot, w których usłyszymy chwytliwe, lekko thrash’owe riffy, black metalowe tremola czy nawet skrzypce, to już wyższa liga, a nawet ekstraklasa.

Grupa już pomału dobija do dwudziestolecia swojej działalności i w tym czasie zdołała zagrać chyba wszędzie. Występowali w dość obskurnym klubie z kozą wśród widowni (tak, chodzi o tego mema), w historii singapurskiej muzyki zapisali się jako pierwszy reprezentant tego kraju na festiwalu Glastonbury (2017), a do tego doszły jeszcze wspólne trasy m.in. z Napalm Death czy Misery Index. Latem zespół powróci do Europy w składzie wzbogaconym o Gabriela Dubko i singapurską artystkę weish, którzy przejmą obowiązki wokalne, a jednym z przystanków na ich szlaku będzie poznański klub Pod Minogą!

Zapowiedź nowego SKELETHAL

 

Today, Hells Headbangers announces July 12th as the international release date for Skelethal's highly anticipated third album, Within Corrosive Continuums, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. In lieu of this announcement, the band reveal the first track "Fatal Abstraction." Hear Skelethal's "Fatal Abstraction" in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.

Formed in 2012, Skelethal have been at the forefront of the now-fertile French death metal scene. While many of the band's primary influences have been Swedish - Entombed, Carnage, and Dismember - over the past decade, the quartet have finessed that style of death metal into one that feels classic rather than simply "old." Call it intrinsically understanding what makes death metal DEATH METAL or simply possessing the songwriting nous to add to such a hallowed canon rather than merely milking, but Skelethal have proven to be contenders to the throne. First full-length evidence was 2017's Of the Depths..., followed by 2020's Unveiling the Threshold, which saw a lineup change and bold steps beyond Swedeath (and both released by Hells Headbangers), and now arrives LP#3 to all but assure that ascent to the throne.

Tellingly titled Within Corrosive Continuums, Skelethal's third album equally encapsulates their past and builds upon it in noble ways. While it's predecessor saw a slight uptick in clarity, here do Skelethal carry forward that clarity with a conspicuous dirtying-up of tone. The production's as powerful as ever, so it could be argued that that rediscovered grit & grime come more in the band's execution - or, more accurately, the songwriting itself. Within Corrosive Continuums immediately sounds like the same band who unleashed those prior two (celebrated) LPs, but Skelethal flex a bit differently here, opening up a number of (still-death metal) influences and transforming them into riffs and rhythms that ever so slightly more adventurous, all without (crucially) losing their characteristic directness. As such, the bulk of these largely-five-minute-long songs feel twice as fast, so feverish is the band's intensity, but dread-draped hooks and CRUSHING heaviness still rule the day. Put another way, Skelethal take on textures that are more personal and somber, but keep the expression resolutely death metal. Simply witness the 13-minute closing juggernaut, appropriately enough the title track: hearing is believing, and Skelethal will make believers out of even the crankiest "old school" diehards.

Third albums are always a gamble when it comes to death metal; you either sell out, or get stuck in inertia for the rest of your days. Skelethal defy this convention and continue to push their limits, culminating in a deep trip Within Corrosive Continuums.
