Recenzja Power From Hell “The True Metal / Profound Evil Presence”

 Power From Hell

“The True Metal / Profound Evil Presence”

Ancient Sound Terror 2025

Dziś na tapecie wydawnictwo, które jest bardziej z natury tych retrospekcyjnych niż prezentujących danie świeże. Niemiecka Ancient Sound Terror wznowiła właśnie dwa materiały brazylijskiego Power From Hell. Wznowiła w formie bardzo klasycznie wydanej taśmy magnetofonowej, można powiedzieć w niemal minimalistycznej oprawie. Wkładka zawiera bowiem tylko i wyłącznie zdjęcie, logo i tytuły utworów obu płyt. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Firmament „For Centuries Alive”

 Firmament

„For Centuries Alive”

Dying Victims Productions 2025

Na swoim drugim krążku, ten niemiecki kwintet, kontynuuje zainteresowania klasycznym graniem, przywołującym czasy z przełomu lat siedemdziesiątych i osiemdziesiątych. W dalszym ciągu w ich muzyce słychać mnóstwo odniesień do początków twórczości Iron Maiden bądź takich sław jak Thin Lizzy czy Rush. (Czytaj dalej...)

German/Swedish Blackened Death Metal band, Shadows, have released debut album, Miseria. Featuring former members of such notable acts as Visceral Bleeding, The Berzerker, Enshrined and Ominous, the quartet now proudly presents nine songs of unrelenting misanthropy.

Miseria aims to explore the vast uncaring nothingness and explore the dread of our futile existence. If you are looking for release or redemption you won’t find them here.. The album is unmistakably rooted in the Scandinavian black and death metal but delivers it with its own signature. It is crushing and suffocating but also melodic and solemn.

Singiel i zapowiedź nowego VIGLJOS

 


Swiss black metal act VÍGLJÓS have returned with a ferocious new single, "Claviceps", offering the first taste of their highly anticipated sophomore album, "Tome II - ignis sacer".

VÍGLJÓS sheds light on the track, commenting: "The story of humanity and Claviceps is one of creativity and pain. It reaches back to medieval times and possibly beyond. Various kinds of early psychedelic artists deliberately poisoned themselves with the Claviceps fungus to expand their minds and alter their reality.

On this new record we want to honour the impact that Claviceps, and later LSD had and still has on art, music, society, our self-image and medicine, as well as the terror and depravity it brought upon us."

"Claviceps" is available on all streaming platforms and as a premiere on Black Metal Promotion.

"Tome II - ignis sacer" will be coming out on September 19 via Les Acteurs de L'Ombre Productions in CD/LP and DIGITAL formats and is now available for pre-orders:

Recenzja Necrochakal “Golgothian Orgies of Bestial Lust”

 Necrochakal

“Golgothian Orgies of Bestial Lust”

Ancient Sound Terror 2025

Necrochakal pochodzą z Grecji. Myli się jednak, kto z góry założy, iż są to kolejni naśladowcy wspaniałych tradycji hellenistycznych, mających swoje korzenie w latach dziewięćdziesiątych. Zresztą wystarczy tylko włączyć ten materiał, by przekonać się, iż mamy tu do czynienia z czymś kompletnie odmiennym. Z czym? Z na maksa wkurwionym, satanistycznym thrash / black metalem, zagranym na pełnej piździe. (Czytaj dalej...)

To już drugi album tego kostarykańskiego tercetu, na którym kontynuują opowieść z pierwszej płyty, przedstawiając dalsze losy pewnej, fikcyjnej krainy, zniszczonej przez złego nekromantę. Ci trzej panowie podobnie jak na poprzednim krążku robią to za pomocą stoner-doom metalu, któremu nie szczędzili sludge’owego szlamu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Kolejny numer od ANTIVERSUM

 

Today, total-vacuum metallers Antiversum premiere the new track "De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia, set for international release on September 19th via Amor Fati Productions. Hear Antiversum's title track "De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Antiversum is a nihilistic entity that creates a disturbing and stormy amalgamation of black, doom, and death metal, manifesting the end of the universe and the dawn of nothingness in audial waves. Its journey into the void began in the spring of 2015, releasing the band's debut demo, Total Vacuum, to international acclaim, followed in 2017 by their first full-length, Cosmos Comedenti.

Antiversum now stretches the spaces between the void even further, lurking within with a menace that is truly unsettling. Destination: De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia, the band's long-awaited second full-length. Antiversum are nothing if not perfectly monikered, and this latest venture into that void proves as much with greater power and poignancy. At times suffocatingly dense and vaporous as ether at others, De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia creates an all-consuming headspace of cosmic collapse, its five-song / 56-minute duration the optimal length for obliterating immersion. Antiversum once again exhibit mastery of nuance, texture, and detail; whereas so many bands otherwise branded "cosmic" or "cavernous" forsake songwriting for hazy / lazy texture, their compositions bend and break and billow forth reborn with a startling focus, a clarity that doesn't seek to obscure but rather to highlight (or blacklight?) the many miles of fathomless horror both above and below. "Articulating the inarticulable," then, and thus horror compounded hundredfold: merge and emerge with De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new title track "De Nemesis Omnes et Omnia" exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSinging.com. Also hear the previously revealed "Pulsar Feralis" HERE at Amor Fati's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

SEASON OF THE DEAD szykują debiut dla Time To Kill Records

 


Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of SEASON OF THE DEAD, the visceral, horror-obsessed death metal project featuring an all-star cast from across the underground.

The band promise a debut release that will feel like a lost VHS nightmare brought to life. More details on the upcoming record will be revealed soon.

SEASON OF THE DEAD is a visceral, cinematic extreme metal project born from the twisted minds of Titta Tani (former drummer of Necrophagia and Goblin), Giacomo Anselmi (former Goblin guitarist and current member of Goblin Legacy), and Enrico Giannone, founder and owner of Time To Kill Records, acting as producer and visionary behind the entire concept.

The idea is as brutal as it is clear: to resurrect the blood-soaked legacy of horror-infused death metal, channeling the rotten spirit of bands like Necrophagia, Mortician, and Fulci, while paying tribute to the grotesque imagery and raw energy of cult underground horror films. Influences range from Killjoy to City of the Living Dead, The Beyond, and Cannibal Holocaust, creating a soundscape that feels like a soundtrack to a lost VHS splatter nightmare.

The project boasts an all-star lineup from the international extreme music scene:

John McEntee (Incantation) – Vocals
Fiore Stravino (Fulci) – Vocals
Dave Neabore (Dog Eat Dog) – Bass
Chuck Sherwood (Incantation) – Bass
Giacomo Anselmi (Goblin Legacy) – Guitars
Titta Tani (ex Goblin, ex Necrophagia) – Drums

SEASON OF THE DEAD is more than just music – it’s a blood-drenched ritual, a sonic horror film where every track unfolds like a scene filled with gore, possession, necromancy, and decay. It’s a love letter to the most disturbing, iconic side of horror and death metal – one meant to be played loud... with the lights off.

Klip PINK PANTHER PROJECT

 


Second full-length album "Clinics And Models" out now via Assur Anshar showcases Pink Panther Project's evolving vision, sound design and storytelling

Limited edition CD still available

Electro-industrial outfit Pink Panther Project have released a new video for "Après-midi Paranoïaque", a standout track from their second full-length album, "Clinics And Models". The album is out now via the electro label Assur Anshar and distributed worldwide by The Circle Music.

"Après-midi Paranoïaque" is an ironically cheerful song that conceals unsettling French lyrics beneath its whimsical delivery. The track highlights the band's penchant for dark humour and their ability to blend playful melodies with a distinctly sinister undercurrent. The new video adds a visual layer to this unsettling juxtaposition.

Pre-orders for Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms) are still available here: https://runemagick.lnk.to/cycleofthedyingsun

Runemagick comment on the track: "'Wyrd Unwoven' is the opening track of the upcoming album, a classic yet varied Runemagick piece weaving heavy doom-laden riffs with some mid-tempo passages. The song dwells on fate and the inevitability of time, where runes lie in dust and threads are spun beyond the will of gods and mortals alike. Its lyrics echo a sense of shadows interlaced with silence, where broken vows and unspoken destinies linger in the eternal loom of wyrd."

Recenzja Cruentation „Damned Fallen Angels”

 Cruentation

„Damned Fallen Angels”

Iron Bonehead 2025

Pamiętam doskonale EP-kę Cruentation, którą otrzymałem onegdaj na kasecie magnetofonowej w ramach wymiany. Był to mocno obiecujący materiał. Dlatego też kiedy znalazłem w skrzynce odbiorczej promo debiutanckiego krążka tegoż projektu, postanowiłem natychmiast go sprawdzić. Dla niewtajemniczonych, Cruentation to twór, w którym paluchy maczają ludzie z Blessed Offal (przy okazji, meganiedoceniany zespół), V.E.I.N. , Cemetery Lights czy Witch Tomb. (Czytaj dalej...)

Sadistic Barbarian Onslaught

 


Nowy PEST w październiku

 

Today, Heidens Hart Records announces October 17th as the international release date for the long-awaited comeback album of Germany's Pest, Eternal Nightmares.

In 2014, German black metal institution Pest released Buried: as suggested by its title, an epitaph for the band, who had formed in 1997 and had dependably released four full-lengths during the preceding decade. Now, they return from the grave with one final full-length, fittingly titled Eternal Nightmares.

Big was the shock when Pest co-founder Mrok passed away in 2011, but inspiration was found a decade after and in his death. Rather than searching for a new drummer, founder Scum honored the legacy of Pest and Mrok took up drums himself again. Combined with his and co-founder Atax's characteristically hypnotic & haunting riffs, as well as input from new member Brandt, the resultant Eternal Nightmares truly sounds as if no time has passed since the early days - a veritable portrait of Dorian Gray, in decay. The maniacal vocals from Mr. Blasphemy and Atax still cut through your bones, raising hackles while the hypnosis washes over you. The storm of surging riffs are trance-inducing to the extreme yet ultra-aggressive in their ghostliness. Altogether with Pest's classic medieval weirdness already present on their demo and first albums, Eternal Nightmares solidifies the band's noble legacy and serves as a fitting epitaph...if they return to the grave once again.

For Pest, innovation means retrogression. This new album was still fully recorded and mixed by the band themselves in their rehearsal room, just as it was 25 years ago. It doesn't get more authentic than this: relive their Eternal Nightmares!

In the meantime, here the brand-new track "Running in Rage" HERE at Heidens Hart's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Pest (Germany)'s Eternal Nightmares
1. A Lullaby To...
2. Eternal Nightmare
3. Dr. Crow
4. Light Fades
5. Winds of Death
6. Running in Rage
7. Nights Embrace
8. The Gates
9. Eternal Choir

Piosenka od SADISTIC GOATMESSIAH

 

Today, filthy speed metallers Sadistic Goatmessiah premiere the new track "Stainless Steel" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the third to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Violence, set for international release on September 19th via Dying Victims Productions in conspiracy with Fucking Kill Records. Hear Sadistic Goatmessiah's "Stainless Steel" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s Sadistic Goatmessiah originally formed in 2013 but were mostly inactive until 2017. Back then, the band was a duo of vocalist / guitarist / bassist Morbid Goatpriest of Lust, Filth and Mayhem and drummer Goat Primator. As suggested by those nom de plumes and, of course, their very moniker itself, Sadistic Goatmessiah revel in sonic filth, as exemplified by their first couple demos, where a strong influence of the almighty Nifelheim and Australian blackthrash can be felt – and Japan’s legendary Sabbat, above all, which endures to this day. In 2021, bassist Goatess of Fire arrived, making the band a power-trio and driving that filth in a different-yet-parallel direction: speed metal with Hellhammer / Celtic Frost and Darkthrone influences and an unapologetic punk attitude (and still Sabbat!). Thereafter, four splits and a demo followed, fleshing out the Sadistic Goatmessiah sound before the inevitable debut album.

At last here, Violence is that first full-length, and its elegantly simple title says everything it should. Fast and deadly as the scythe of the reaper, Sadistic Goatmessiah here unload an arsenal of dungeonic speed metal steeped in the ancient and FUCK OFF, loose and lawless and deliberately raw as hot blood. Those aforementioned influences still remain, but the foremost one is of Sabbat, where eerie leads ride a galloping steed of filth, all reverbed to Hell and back, never feeling “retro” because the future never happened. For all the familiarity, the ten tracks comprising Violence work their malevolent magick due to Sadistic Goatmessiah’s off-the-rails execution: never faked, always full-on, fucking going for the throat and never letting up. As such, the album’s 40 minutes fly by in a flash, compelling repeat listeners just as you try to escape that very dungeon…the air above stinks, so might as well plummet back down to the filth! You want Violence? Sadistic Goatmessiah will give you fucking VIOLENCE!

A celebration of the album will take place at the Summer Dying Loud festival, where Tenebris will perform the new album in its entirety. This new record is a musical continuation of the ideas explored in their EP, “Legendarna”, while the album title references the Polish poet Jan Kochanowski.

Formed in Łódź, Poland in 1991, Tenebris is considered by many a cult Polish metal band. They began as a death metal act before incorporating progressive and jazz influences into their sound.

Debiut HYPERSTRIKE za dwa tygodnie

 


This Fall… your speakers aren’t safe. From The Blade of Seattle, Hyperstrike erupts with their debut album High Risk.

A high-octane collision of anthemic clean vocals, bone-crushing riffs, punk-fueled drum fire, and the razor edge of melodic death metal, Hyperstrike deliver danger with every track. This is metal built like an action movie soundtrack: explosive, relentless, and larger than life.

“Meltdown” — the core goes critical, and the blast is unstoppable.
“Leaving You Again” — love is a weapon… and heartbreak is the trigger.
“High Risk” — play the game, roll the dice… win it all, or lose your life.
“Shadowbound” — where the darkness hunts… and only the cursed survive.
“Warning Shot” — one bullet in the chamber… and mania in his eyes.
“Slug City” — neon streets, blood on the asphalt… nobody gets out alive.
“Steel Heart” — forged in fire, unbreakable, unstoppable.
“Slowman” — you can’t outrun fate… when death walks at your speed.
“King of the Slain” — one battlefield, one crown… and a throne of bones.
“Savage Sword” — sharpened for vengeance, raised for the final strike.

Having previously released debut single "Warning Shot," followed by "Savage Sword," Hyperstrike has now released the title track, "High Risk." Click to stream below!



Explosive. Relentless. Unstoppable. This is the soundtrack to chaos.

As if that weren't enough, Hyperstrike has just released the demo for the official Hyperstrike video game! Play the game demo here while anticipating the album, just over the horizon.

High Risk.
No Risk. No Reward.

Nowy numer od CRUENTATION

 

Today, New England black / death cult Cruentation premiere the new track "Prayers and Piss" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, Damned Fallen Angels, set for international release on September 26th via Iron Bonehead Productions. Hear Cruentation's "Prayers and Piss" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from the oft-overlooked New England black / death underground, the four-pierce Cruentation possess an impressive resume of cult bands concurrent or prior: Witch Tomb / Impenitent Thief, Hirudenia, Cemetery Lights, Martyrvore, Ninnixu, and Embryonic Cryptopathia among many others. Those bands collectively defied the usual codified norms of the "underground" and struck deep into the heart of filth, whether it was strictly black metal, death metal, grindcore, or even thrash metal or noise; simply, the experience of righteous sonic defilement was paramount. And so it goes with Cruentation, who are now making their full-length debut after a trio of short-length releases.

Appropriately titled Damned Fallen Angels, Cruentation's debut album confronts and crushes with defiant zeal. This 10-track / 32-minute monolith soon becomes a soul-devouring abyss the second you press "play," existing somewhere between the most "deathened" black metal currently around or some of the most Satanic (and thus blackened) death metal birthed from the unholy legacy of Finland's Belial. Either way, the power-trio peel off one bestial pulse after another, moving with exceptionally tight execution and utterly devastating tone - no weak "raw" garage ones here - that thankfully all exudes a full-blooded physicality too often missing in these days of Bandcamp-only solo-projects. More that the sound itself, Cruentation excel at the art of songwriting: flowing and fluid, never ornate nor overly simplistic, and "catchy" in the sense of engaging the listener with an immediacy from beginning to end. In fact, with two members hailing from the pivotal Witch Tomb - who carried on Profanatica's sonic legacy while that band was on hiatus - it's not unjust to suggest that Damned Fallen Angels picks up where the short-lived Impenitent Thief left off. Feel the timeless wisdom of darkness!

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions are set to unleash the new, and final album from Philadelpia's Death Metal destroyers Percussor. Remnants Of Horror: The Final Cut is up now for pre-order and will be released September 26th on CD and Digital formats along with merch.

Percussor returns to Horror Pain Gore Death Productions one last time, unleashing Remnants Of Horror: The Final Cut! Originally released in 2017 on a different label, the initial version didn’t quite capture the true feelings and atmosphere that was originally intended by the band. With the help of Mike Usifer (Prime Evil), Percussor has reopened this recording to bring the true vision and concept the third release truly deserved, and completing the full discography on HPGD.

Old school Death Metal for fans of Bolt Thrower, Celtic Frost, Death, Deicide, Destruction, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Possessed, Slayer, Sodom, Venom and Voivod.
