W
zasadzie od samego początku, kiedy to Nekus wydali swoją debiutancką EP-ke „Death
Nova upon the Barren Harvest”, jestem ich zagorzałym szalikowcem. Cieszy mnie
zatem fakt, iż z płyty na płytę zespół systematycznie prze do przodu, nie
oglądając się na panujące trendy, jednocześnie udoskonalając swój zapleśniały
styl. Dla tych, którzy nazwy nie kojarzą, wyjaśniam, że Nekus to amalgamat
death, doom i black metalu z gatunku tych najbardziej zasyfionych. (Czytaj dalej...)
Ach ta Kostaryka! W ostatnich latach kraj ren wypluł kilka naprawę
wartościowych kapel z kręgu metalu śmierci by wspomnieć tylko Corpse Garden,
Bloodsoaked Necrovoid czy Astriferous. Grono to właśnie się poszerzyło o
kolejny, godny uwagi zespół w postaci Necroferum, które właśnie debiutuje
minialbumem „Visions From The Necrorealm” w barwach Nuclear Winter Records. (Czytaj dalej...)

New album “Donkere Paden” out via These Hands Melt
Belgian black metal band KrvL (pronounced as Kravaal) have unveiled the second music video supporting their latest album “Donkere Paden”. The band’s second full-length album was released via These Hands Melt earlier this month.
Legendary Canadian Deathrashers SARKASM, have just revealed details of what will be their second full length album that will be entitled "Carnival of Atrocities" which will see the light next January 7th through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, Cassette & Digital formats.
SARKASM is a legendary Canadian Death/Thrash band formed in 1990, which released 4 demos until they broke up in 1994. The band reformed intermittently since then, but it wasn't until 2019 when the original lineup that released their 2nd demo '92 "Inner Flame", decided to come together to write and record what was their 1st full album, signing with Xtreem Music for the worldwide release of said album titled "As Empires Decay" in January 2023.
SARKASM's new album "Carnival of Atrocities" has been recorded at the House of Gain Studios with producer Maxime Lacroix and again mastered in Germany at Unisound Studios by Dan Swanö. This new work will continue in the line of their already known style of technical, fresh and addictive Death/ Thrash in the vein of bands like early GORGUTS, OBLIVEON, DEATH, PESTILENCE, ABSORBED, BELIEVER... As additional information, we should mention that their vocalist Bruno Bernier is actually recording the new album by the legendary OBLIVEON, as well.
Tracklist for "Carnival of Atrocities" is as follows:
1. I Am Chaos
2. Murmurs From the Void
3. Echoes of Hyperion
4. Disintegrate
5. Cold Empty Rooms
6. Hateful, Spiteful, Vengeful
7. Ex Umbris
8. Dead Weight
Release date for "Carnival of Atrocities" will be January 27th, 2025 through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, Cassette & Digital formats.
Ta paryska kapela
została założona w 2005 roku więc już prawie dwadzieścia lat błąka się po
świecie, lecz nie przekłada się to na ilość nagrań, bo w jej dyskografii jest
tylko jedna epka, debiut i koncert. Pod koniec listopada ukaże się drugi krążek
„Cut The Serpent’s Head” co i tak nie poszerzy specjalnie dorobku Corrosive
Elements. Mniejsza z tym. Cóż grają Francuzi? (Czytaj dalej...)
„Szwedzi też chcą mieć swoje

po raz kolejny otrzymujemy porcję muzyki opartej na sprawdzonych, reifertowych

Hollands' oldest death metal band THANATOS is premiering a video from the group's upcoming anniversary album & DVD "Four Decades Of Death", set to celebrate the 40th year of the band's existence on November 15th via Agonia Records. Watch "Global Purification", taken from the DVD, here:
"From beyond the grave we bring you this album with unreleased stuff from the past four decades plus a cool live registration of our last show ever," comments THANATOS's founder, Stephan Gebédi (Hail Of Bullets). "Filmed at the Baroeg Open Air festival in our hometown Rotterdam on September 10th 2022, the band played songs ranging from the early demo days to our final album «Violent Death Rituals» in front of about 8000 people. This is a posthumous celebration of our 40th anniversary. Releasing this rare, unreleased stuff on CD/vinyl and our final show on DVD feels like a great way to end things or, to put it more bluntly, put the last nail in our coffin!"
"Four Decades Of Death" consists of previously unreleased songs and a DVD, which captures, on a multi-cam recording, the band's last live show from 2022. The album will be released in CD, LP (both formats to include the DVD) and digitally. The cover artwork was drawn by Toni Hietomaa.
Today, Swedish death metallers Cryptorium premiere the new track "Horrid Exultation" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Descent Into Lunacy, set for international release on November 29th via Personal Records on CD format; Iron Fortress Records will be handling the cassette tape version. Hear Cryptorium's "Horrid Exultation" in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Genre-defiers GOBLIN HOVEL are readying the release of Gobischkevrot, a synthesis of avant-garde metal and comedic audio-drama. The album recounts the story of a beleaguered clan of goblins seeking mystical power in a desperate struggle for survival in a human-dominated world.
A concept album in the truest sense, Gobischkevrot blends intense folk-inspired metal with spoken-word narration from the Goblin RaidBoss known as Skraptif. Experience two chapters from the tome called Gobischkevrot – “Gobischkevrot” and “Voyage of the Grogswiller” now at this location.
With over 20 releases under their belt, GOBLIN HOVEL fully embraces their metal influences with Gobischkevrot; a natural progression from 2022’s Whatever Keeps the Light On. The album is due out on November 22. Pre-order at goblinhovel.bandcamp.com.
Today, Australian black-doom deviants Tyrannic premiere the new track "Tyrannic Desolation" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated third album, Tyrannic Desolation, set for international release on November 22nd via Iron Bonehead Productions. Hear Tyrannic's title track "Tyrannic Desolation" in its entirety exclusively HERE.
With their third full-length, Tyrannic prove that these idiosyncrasies are no mere fluke, and the wild & weird terrain trod by the likes of old Samael, early Celtic Frost / Hellhammer, Hungary's Tormentor, Beherit, Brazilian iconoclasts like Impurity and Sextrash, or even very earliest Mayhem is very much also theirs. More cracked, more broken, more thirsty & miserable: this is Tyrannic Desolation!

Finnish symphonic Black Metal duo PESTILENT HEX unveil a second track from their upcoming album, "Sorceries of Sanguine & Shadow". 'Through Mirrors Beyond' uses haunting orchestration to transform ferocious riffing and blasting into symphonic grandeur - a masterful fusion of Black Metal majesty and swirling chaos.
Band-members M. Malignant and L. Oathe share insights on 'Through Mirrors Beyond' and also the previously released track, 'Sciomancy and Sortilege':
M.: "Choosing the singles was actually pretty difficult this time around as the songs on the album are quite varied. I personally battled with the idea of presenting the closing track 'Sanguine Gnosis' but we will leave this lengthy epic for people to discover later. 'Through Mirrors Beyond' was the better choice at this stage, and is perhaps the track that is also closest to the style presented on our debut album."
L.: "The album has a lot of variation between the songs that makes more sense in the album context rather than single cuts. 'Sciomancy and Sortilege' has more of a storyline, going from A to B, while this one is more, I wouldn't call reserved, but more of a traditional structure in a way that it has almost chorus and verse type songwriting going on. 'Mirrors…' offer a counterbalance for 'Sciomancy…' before switching back to a more intense mood. We are not talking merely BPMs but the overall feel of the track."
Discover the first unveiled track 'Sciomancy and Sortilege' here and find all album details here!
"Sorceries of Sanguine & Shadow" will be released on CD, vinyl - including an exclusive DMP vinyl edition and specially designed merch - and digital on November 29th. Pre-orders are available via the label's EU, US, and Bandcamp shops, with bundle options available.

Powiem
szczerze, że z debiutanckiego krążka Scheitan najbardziej do dziś zapamiętałem
okładkę. Może dlatego, że zdobiący ją obrazek (ten oryginalny) był dość
charakterystyczny. Gdzieś mi tam jednak w głowie dzwoniło, że to był całkiem
niezły materiał, dlatego też cieszę się, że Mara Productions wznowiła te
nagrania po raz pierwszy w oficjalnej wersji kompaktowej, w wersji zremasterowanej. (Czytaj dalej...)
Panowie z Shaarimoth nie
spieszą się zbytnio z nagrywaniem krążków, gdyż istniejąc od 2004 roku wydają
właśnie dopiero swój trzeci album. Czy ta słaba częstotliwość przekłada się na
jakość? Właśnie nie mam pojęcia, bo przesłuchałem ten mateks już parę razy i
mam z nim mały problem, ponieważ posiada on jak przysłowiowy medal, dwie
strony. Z jednej, porywa mnie jego gęstość i ciężkość. (Czytaj dalej...)
Death Metal Titans Centinex Drop “As You Die” Single w/ Music Video, Teasing 2025 Album
Legendary Swedish death metallers Centinex unleashed their “As You Die” single, accompanied by a music video. Featuring two brand-new tracks, the single carves out a fresh path for the band, infusing death ‘n’ roll fury while retaining their signature raw, aggressive extremity. These songs provide a glimpse into their highly anticipated 2025 album, set for release via Black Lion Records.
States Centinex bassist Martin Schulman:
“Times change and so do Centinex. Our ‘As You Die’ single in a way represents a new beginning for the band, not only by working with new business partners but also by exploring a somewhat new musical direction.
“As previously mentioned, we have always been about not setting boundaries or limiting ourselves, and these two new tracks might be the clearest example of that.
“Maybe we are getting old or something, dunno... Anyway, let’s fu**ing rock!”
Watch the Video for “As You Die,” below; Find the single —alongside its galloping B-side, “Into Ashes”— on all major digital/streaming platforms as of October 25 RIGHT HERE.

chłopakom zeszło na komponowaniu tego materiału. No ale nie mogło być inaczej,

It has been four years since the release of Independence to the Beast (2020) and during this time, Canis Dirus have been refining their savage, yet atmospheric black metal during what has been the most prolific era of their career. 2021 found the split release, A Harmonious Union of Vibration, to surface with the project Crown of Asteria, where Canis Dirus contributed two new tracks that blended their own unique form of twisted blackness, along with an ambient influence. Was this a sign of things to come?

Canberra (AU) - Australian-based Symphonic Death Metal band, Project: Ultimate Satan, will release their highly anticipated debut album, The Opus Satanas, November 29 on Eschatonic Records!
A lyric video for "Nocturne Immortalis," the third and final single taken from The Opus Satanas, is a celebration and final observance of those who always were and have always been. Check it out at: youtu.be/trsYtCmZOtc.
Project: Ultimate Satan was formed late 2019. The band features Eschatonic Records alumni from Inhuman Remnants, Black Mountain, Terravorous, Unholy Vendetta and Somnium Nox.
The Opus Satanas was forged amidst the Fires and Plagues of 2020 and 2021. As Project: Ultimate Satan sought to push the sonic possibilities of their unique blend of Blackened Death Metal, they focused on the inclusion of more symphonic elements, orchestrations and lyrical content that would honour those that called to them from across the vast depths of the cosmos.
July 2022 saw the release of their first single "Symphony Es Infernus," an auspicious ode to Lillith Liftoach. However, due to further outbreaks, lockdowns and restrictions, their accompanying live rituals would be restricted to the ACT and the South Coast regions.
February 2024 saw the release of their second single "The Infallible Void." The song is a sonic exploration and meditations on the darkness within us all.
We’re very proud to announce the imminent release of "Conquering the Most High" - debut MLP from French satanic death metal horde Infernalivm, a new entity of absolute sonic brutality conceived from within the French orthodox satanic movement, and featuring members of its elite underground from bands like Novae Militiae, Merrimack, Benighted, and Ritualization.
The abominable debut offering has officially been previewed by respected underground metal blog Invisible Oranges, who in premiering the song “Ashes of the Saints” have remarked how the track “sallies out with the band's full genre-eroding arsenal behind it, packing in plenty of death metal absolutely steeped in their dire atmosphere“, and how the EP “within four songs runs a gamut from brutal death metal to dismal tremolo-picked dirges, unifying it all under a banner of abject Satanism and speaker-testing volume”- you can check out the feature and song HERE.
Through these four tracks of dark, sanguinary, and inescapable technical dark death metal tyranny, the specter of Immolation, Dead Congregation, Nile, Adversarial, Arkhon Infaustus and Morbid Angel is evoked with unseen mastery, while the genre’s mutated silhouette is at the same time disfigured and retraced within the novel realms of France’s most intransigent satanic inner circle, materializing nothing less than an authentic horror of creation. The result is a dissonant, bludgeoning beast seething with all the might and power of the antichrist. A dark and violent abomination with an immensely evil and antihuman atmosphere and an infernal aura casting massive, ominous shadows across the face of European death metal and sending a clear message on the magnitude of things to come.
"Conquering the Most High" is slated for a November 29 2024 release worldwide via Sentient Ruin on LP, CD, MC and digital, and all formats are now preorderable via all our channels.
