„Zelmathic Necroichorion”

Amor Fati 2026

Dopiero co zdążyłem zakupić sobie ostatni album Hadopelagyal (dość nietypowe swoją drogą jak na winyl wydanie), odsłuchać go dosłownie z dwa razy, a tu Hekla i Augur wypluwają z siebie kolejne dwadzieścia minut gruzu, szlamu i wszelakich nieczystości.  Cztery nowe numery, mili państwo, dokładnie tyle składa się na „Zelmathic Necroichorion”. (Czytaj dalej...)

Trzeci album DEATH. VOID. TERROR. za miesiąc

 

Sentient Ruin is proud and honored to announce that Death. Void. Terror. continue their marvelous aural transfiguration. "To The Great Monolith III: Rifts" is the band's first full-length utterance of the Monolith in five years, and its most shattering revelation yet.

The mesmerizing upcoming new album follows the recent precursor EP "To The Great Monolith 2.5" released just last month, and has now been anticipated by expert extreme metal outlet No Clean Singing, who in premiering the closing track "V. (-- ---) Daphnyr" have remarked how the work is "a kaleidoscopic experience, a shapeshifter in itself that continues to reveal the metamorphosis of the band’s music since their last album" - you can check out the feature and listen to the song HERE.

"To The Great Monolith III: Rifts" is a seismic convergence of primordial trance and awakened consciousness, tearing open the boundaries of improvisation to expose the essence of catharsis. The rift is both metaphor and confession: a fracture in doctrine, a deliberate wound inflicted upon orthodoxy by the practitioners themselves, as conscious composition enters the sacred architecture for the first time, insurgent and unapologetic. Pulsing bass lines consciously sculpted, and around them, the instinctual maelstrom, constructing vortices of the inner chaos. A perceived heresy that in truth signals only deeper initiation. What pours through the rift is devastating. Abyssal, chaos-wielding atmospheric black/death metal mutated into ecstatic occult rock and tribal hallucinatory sprawl. The specter of the ancient ones running through gorges and dissolving into monolithic darkness, transfigured beyond recognition yet more itself than ever. Vocals conjured in no known tongue, surrendered without will to the Monolith in liturgical precision. A sonic entity shedding skin, growing new flesh, irrigated by ritual and animated by an internal battle between instinct and will, trance and reflection, doctrine and heresy. On its surface, a rift captured and made literal. In its depths, an existential fracture splitting open five years of metamorphosis and unleashing its monstrous sonic deluge. The Great Monolith does not crumble, it ruptures, expands, and devours anew. DVT's most monumental and revelatory work to date.

"To The Great Monolith III: Rifts" is slated for a September 25 2026 release on LP, CD, cassette and digital formats worldwide via Sentient Ruin, all of which are now pre-orderable via all our channels.

Nowy album URNA w październiku

 

Italian architects of esoteric extreme metal URNA will release their new album, "The Great Jihad", on October 16th, 2026 via ATMF, the label that has supported the band since their landmark full-length "Sepulcrum"..

The first single "Second of Three" is streaming HERE.

More poisonous and tense than its predecessors, "The Great Jihad" retains the crushing atmosphere and funeral doom connection that have long defined URNA, while pushing their faster passages towards a harsher, more abrasive form of black metal. Amid the weight and aggression, vast, sideral melodies emerge from the darkness, adding a solemn dimension to an album steeped in occult and esoteric atmospheres. The result is a work that feels both familiar and renewed, balancing oppressive density with moments of stark, otherworldly beauty.

For the first time, URNA present an album with lyrics entirely in English. With the exception of their 2003 debut "Justa Funebria", originally performed in Italian, the band's releases have traditionally employed Latin. The conceptual framework once again expands RM's personal spiritual journey through Hermetism, approaching the notion of duality from an esoteric perspective and exploring its many manifestations..

"The Great Jihad" also introduces new collaborators to the lineup, with Sibilans (Anamnesi, Simulacro) on drums and T (Sangue Nero) on bass. The album was recorded through multiple sessions between 2014 and 2025, across Italy and the United Kingdom, before being mixed and mastered at MZ's 322 Studio in early 2026. The artwork was created by Francesco Gemelli.

Following the first preview, this new teaser offers another glimpse into the album's dark and expansive atmosphere, bringing together further excerpts from across the record. Rather than revealing a single composition in isolation, the teaser highlights the different shades that shape "Curse of the Mind", from its melodic black metal foundations to its more imposing and atmospheric passages, offering a broader taste of what ISKALD have prepared for their return.

Zapowiedź debiutu LORD GRYPHUS

 

On September 25th internationally, Nespithe Records is proud to present Lord Gryphus' highly anticipated debut album, Summoning the King of Death, on CD format.

Austin, Texas death metal outfit Lord Gryphus have emerged from the underground with their debut full-length, Summoning the King of Death. Built on the foundations of 'early 90s extreme metal, the band delivers a raw, ritual-driven sound that blends crushing aggression with oppressive atmosphere and a deep reverence for death.

Channeling the spirit of genre pioneers like Morbid Angel, Gorefest, Sepultura, Grave, Autopsy, Incantation, and Sinister, Lord Gryphus forge a sound rooted in primitive death metal execution, atmosphere, and confrontation.

The band operates as a three-piece anonymous unit, all masked, drawing from deep roots in the extreme metal underground. Their identity and concept revolve around execution, sacrifice, and ritual devotion to a carrion deity known as Lord Gryphus, inspired by Vultur gryphus, the Andean condor, a symbol tied to death, transcendence, and spiritual power.

Lyrically and thematically, Lord Gryphus confront colonial violence, cultural erasure, and imposed religion, while honoring ancestral traditions and forgotten histories. The result is a release that is as ideological as it is sonic, built around ritual, resistance, and death as a force of reverence rather than fear.

Summoning the King of Death was recorded at Red Nova Ranch in Bastrop, Texas with Jeff Henson handling tracking, reamping, guitars, and bass. Vocals were recorded and produced by Kike Valderrama at Buziraco’s Lair Studio. The album was mixed and mastered by Andrés Mauricio Gallón at Sound Blast Studios in Armenia, Colombia.

The record includes a cover of “Troops Of Doom,” originally by Sepultura, along with guest vocals from Reese Alavi (Creeping Death) and a guitar solo by Mike De León (Flesh Hoarder / Soulfly), adding further weight to its underground impact.

Lord Gryphus recently appeared alongside legendary death metal veterans Internal Suffering on select dates of their 30th anniversary North American tour, bringing their ceremonial style of devastation to stages across the southern United States.

Says the band: “This album is our declaration of allegiance to death metal in its purest form. Influenced by the savage spirit of the early '90s, Summoning the King of Death delivers raw aggression, ritualistic atmosphere, and a reverence for death that transcends time and culture.”

In the meantime, see & hear videos for "Bloodbath Dominion" HERE as well as the aforementioned "Troops of Doom" cover HERE, both at Lord Gryphus' official YouTube channel. Stream Summoning the King of Death HERE at Nespithe Records' Bandcamp, where the album can also be preordered. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

SHINE: kasetowe wydanie debiutanckiego "Wrathcult"

 

Selfmadegod Records z dumą prezentuje kasetowe wydanie debiutanckiej płyty polskiego death/blackowego SHINE Wrathcult. Album promowany jest utworem The Cult Of Oak. Więcej szczegółów poniżej.

SHINE to najnowszy projekt Tomasza Dobrzenieckiego, lidera Hazael. Założony w 2024 zespół od początku postawił na własną, wyrazistą tożsamość, łącząc brutalność i melodykę z atmosferą inspirowaną dawnymi wierzeniami oraz przedchrześcijańskim dziedzictwem Europy. Debiutancki album Wrathcult nie pozostawia wątpliwości – na polskiej scenie ekstremalnego metalu narodziła się nowa, potężna siła, czerpiąca z klasycznych wzorców, przekształcając je w bezlitosną, bezkompromisową i surową muzykę o własnej, wyrazistej tożsamości.

Debiutancki album SHINE promowany jest teledyskiem do utworu The Cult Of Oak. Obejrzyj tutaj

Wydawnictwo doczekało się również, dostępnej w ogólnoświatowej dystrybucji, edycji kasetowej, której premierę wyznaczono na 28 sierpnia 2026 nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Nowy kawałek TRENCH WARFARE

 

War metal bastards TRENCH WARFARE have launched a stream of "Follow the Circling Vultures," the second single off their venomous new album, Achtung! Destroy The Weak..

The exclusive premiere of "Follow the Circling Vultures" comes via Metal Underground. Stream the song here.

Vocalist Jay Gorania goes in-depth about the lyrical concepts behind the song.

"'Follow The Circling Vultures' is about a soldier or warrior who is out

in the wild, hunting for a wounded enemy combatant. Our bloodthirsty

protagonist is hunting his prey in order to finish him off. He is sleep

deprived but determined, driven passionately by his love of his family,

his people, his nation. The hatred for enemy is profound as it’s linked

to the soldier’s defensive posture and need to protect his beloved family."

WHARFLURCH prezentują nowy numer

 

Today, American death metallers Wharflurch premiere the new track "Headless God" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com.

Hear Wharflurch's "Headless God" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

EPITAPHE z nowym kawałkiem

 

French progressive death metal visionaries EPITAPHE have unveiled "Transient", the new single from their forthcoming third full-length "III", with Everything Is Noise hosting the track's premiere. The album is set for release on September 11th via Aesthetic Death (CD + LP) and Gurgling Gore (MC).

The most atmospheric piece on the record, "Transient" highlights another side of EPITAPHE's increasingly expansive sound, allowing the crushing weight of their death metal foundation to recede into more delicate and immersive territory. Rich textures, carefully layered guitars and a pronounced sense of space give the track an almost dreamlike quality, while its gradual development maintains the band's trademark attention to structure and detail. Rather than simply providing a moment of respite, "Transient" deepens the emotional scope of "III", revealing how much atmosphere can be extracted from the band's already remarkably broad musical palette.

Stream "Transient" at THIS LOCATION.

CENOPATH (MEX) - klasyk meksykańskiej sceny death metalowej, personalnie połączony z tak kultowymi składami jak SHUB NIGGURATH czy THE CHASM, a tak naprawdę moglibyśmy wymieniać jeszcze długo.

Dwie pierwszy płyty zespołu "The Gloomy Reflections..." oraz "Riding Our Black..." to do dziś ciekawe świadectwo z epoki formacyjej dla death metalu, ale też a może i przede wszystkim do dziś ciekawe muzycznie propozycje.

Dodatkowo zespół ten po powrocie na scenę nie odcina kuponów i nie tworzy legendy, a pozostając w undergroundzie zaprasza miłośników do zderzenia z podziemnym death metalem bardzo wysokiej próby.

CRYPTWORM (UK) - jeden z najbardziej cuchnących bagnem i zgnilizną zespołów współczesnego death metalu. Personalnie powiązany min. CRYPTIC SHIFT.

CRYPTWORM od początku eksplorują death metal w najbardziej obrzydliwej formie, a jednocześnie nadają brzmieniu swoistą dynamikę, która szczególnie mocno dochodzi do głosu w wykonaniu live.

Master has always been a musical definition of anachronism for many of us and rightfully so. No matter which trend is or was hip, Paul Speckmann stretched off his middle-finger to that and did his usual mixture of Death Metal and intense Thrash Metal, that created a new genre in the late 80’s.

Jedyny koncert FUNEBRARUM w Polsce już za miesiąc

 

Disco Hospital Booking z przyjemnością zaprasza na JEDYNY polski koncert zespołu FUNEBRARUM (US) w towarzystwie MORBIFIC (FIN) i z mocnym wsparciem MANGLED RECREMENT (PL)!!!

FUNEBRARUM (US, death metal) - absolutny top współczesnego death metalu powracający z nową płytą po 17 latach od kultowej "The Sleep of Morbid Dreams"! Warszawski koncert będzie jedynym polskim przystankiem na europejskiej trasie zespołu.

FUNEBRARUM od początku był zespołem na wskroś przeżertym duchem metalu śmierci, co oczywiście nie oznacza, że tworzył muzykę wtórną. Esencjonalne doom'owe wyziewy i brutalność na poziomie ekstramlnym były i są znakiem rozpoznawczym twórczości Amerykanów.

"Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence" to powrót, na który warto było czekać! Płyta monolit podkreślająca właściwie każdy z atutów zespołu. Jest ciężej, brutalniej, jednocześnie mamy też więcej przestrzeni i klimatu. Mocny kandydat do death metalowej płyt roku.

Jestem przekonany, że logo F.O.R wpadło mi już kiedyś w oko, nie jestem sobie jednak w stanie przypomnieć, przy jakiej okazji. Słuchając drugiego albumu Amerykanów, utwierdzam się jednak w przekonaniu, iż jest to mój pierwszy kontakt z zespołem. W innym przypadku zdecydowanie zapamiętałbym ich muzykę.

Można odsłuchać debiut AZATOTH

 

From the hellish landscapes of Southern Finland, AZATOTH ascends with their first full-length album Carnal Lust of Blasphemy.

Carnal Lust of Blasphemy contains eight tracks of total putrid blasphemy that take you to a trip through the visceral hellscapes of the underworld.

Flooded with gory ceremonies of death, decapitating guitars, bone crushing bass, and grinding blast beats, the album has an ominous

blend of old school Finnish death metal, 90s American death-grind and

bestial black metal. AZATOTH draws inspiration from cult old horror

classics such as Hellraiser, The Thing, and many vintage zombie films,

capturing their nightmarish atmosphere, grotesque imagery and

relentless sense of dread.

Carnal Lust of Blasphemy is available now via Extremely Rotten Productions on CD, vinyl, cassette and digital formats.

Zapowiedź debiutu BOKKERIJDERS

 

On October 23rd internationally, Personal Records is proud to present Bokkerijders' highly anticipated debut album, Crush Kill Destroy, on CD format.

Hailing from Belgium's rich-yet-overlooked black metal scene, Bokkerijders formed in 2021 and soon released their debut demo the next year. An EP compellingly titled Silver Dust and Swords of Gold followed in 2023, further displaying the band's unique iteration of black metal. To them, Bokkerijders simply play METAL, and influences like Aura Noir, Slayer, and even Turbonegro all fall under the same umbrella - no subgenre delineations needed.

And so it follows with Bokkerijders' first full-length, Crush Kill Destroy. Indeed, their debut album does everything it says on the tin, but peer deeper and there's myriad (crusty, archaic) layers worth exploring. With a production style that's both ripping & raw and clear & gleaming, the Belgians uphold their banner of simple, straightforward metal - at its essence, pounding and pulsing and riffing and roaring - and their succinct songwriting flows with energy, excitement, and emotion. The riffs themselves stack on top of each - miles of them, seemingly - and their usage of solos is economic and yet exceedingly well-placed. As much as Crush Kill Destroy excels in both form and content, the record is a fitting epitaph for lead guitarist Wouter Lemmens, who passed away in September 2025.

Bokkerijders will now soldier on as a power-trio, and Crush Kill Destroys stands as a firm foundation for victories ahead.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new title track "Crush Kill Destroy" HERE at Personal Records' Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Singiel EMBERS OF OBLIVION

 

August 21, 2026 marks a new chapter for Dutch melodic black/death metal band Embers of Oblivion with the release of their new single, "Drawn Into A Night Immortal."

Following their previous releases, the band continues to build on new material that blends aggression and melody into a powerful and distinctive sound. "Drawn Into A Night Immortal" follows the band's earlier singles, with more new material currently being recorded and scheduled for release soon.

Lyrically, the song takes the listener on a dark journey toward eternal sleep. The story revolves around the inevitable allure of the unknown, where pain, torment, and inner struggle gradually take control. A suffocating force pulls you ever deeper into a darkness from which escape no longer seems possible.

Musically, Embers of Oblivion delivers exactly what fans of melodic extreme metal are looking for: crushing riffs, relentless drums, the band's signature dual vocal approach, soaring twin-guitar harmonies, and a blistering guitar solo. Combining the aggression of black metal with the melodic foundations of Scandinavian death metal, the band has crafted a sound that is both familiar and uniquely their own.

With several live performances currently in preparation, Embers of Oblivion is looking far beyond the studio. The coming months will focus on new releases and bringing this fresh material to the stage.

"Drawn Into A Night Immortal" is available on all digital platforms. Stream at:

Nowy numer RUNEMAGICK

 

Runemagick presents third and final single for their upcoming double album “After Chaos: Nocturnal Vigil” called “Urðr’s Cosmic Weave”!

Listen to “Urðr’s Cosmic Weave” here:

youtube.com/watch?v=oufmzBRR-40

Pre-order “After Chaos: Nocturnal Vigil” here:

runemagick.lnk.to/afterchaos

Vast and indifferent, the cosmic tapestry stretches beyond mortal comprehension: an infinite lattice of cause and consequence woven by hands older than memory. This piece acknowledges the terrible beauty of that structure, neither merciful nor cruel, neither destiny nor chaos, but the cold mathematics of existence itself. To perceive its pattern is to glimpse the threads that bind all things, yet to remain unbound by their pull is the ultimate act of consciousness within the void. Step away from the present. Enter the Death/Doom/Pagan world of Runemagick! Listen in solitude to this journey and give it time to comprehend.

"After Chaos" serves as the gateway into the album and continues the journey that began with "Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms)". The collapse has already happened. What remains is silence, presence and the first step into what lies beyond. Rather than looking back at what was lost, the song is about standing within the stillness that follows, where something ancient begins to move once more.

The album "After Chaos: Nocturnal Vigil" is deeply rooted in runic symbolism, not as historical reconstruction but as living currents where the runes are approached as forces rather than mere symbols. That perspective naturally connects with my interest in animism and the experience of a living world filled with presences beyond human perception. "After Chaos" establishes that atmosphere from the very beginning and lays the conceptual foundation for everything that follows across the album's eight songs and eight runes.

Like the album itself, this opening piece asks the listener to slow down and give it time. It is meant to be experienced rather than consumed, allowing the atmosphere, the lyrics and the gradual unfolding of the music to reveal themselves. Dísa's melodic guest chants intertwine with my own vocals throughout the opening passage, helping to evoke the ritual atmosphere the song called for and inviting the listener across the threshold before the journey truly begins.

Tracklist:

Siódmy krążek TÅRFÖDD we wrześniu

 

Today, Purity Through Fire announces September 28th as the international release date for Tårfödd's highly anticipated seventh album, En Känsla Av Hopplöshet, on CD format.

Since their formation in 2022, Sweden's Tårfödd have become a prolific force in the DSBM scene. With six full-lengths to date as well as nine singles, three EPs, and a couple collaborative records, mainman Simon Lindgren is a man possessed: supreme melancholy, bittersweet majesty, Technicolor textures, and soul-draining emotion have all become his stock in trade. And while it's not often that Purity Through Fire steps into depressive black metal waters, the label made an exception in 2025 for the release of Lidande and followed it up earlier this year with the band's sixth album, Mörker täcker livets ljus, and the Skyfall mini-album at the dawn of summer.

Now, with Tårfödd's whole catalog available under the banner of Purity Through Fire, Lindgren returns yet again with his second album this year, En Känsla Av Hopplöshet. The band's seventh full-length overall, En Känsla Av Hopplöshet picks up more than a few cues from the grimmer & greyer Skyfall. That concise and yet somehow-vast mini-album showed TÅRFÖDD in a rawer state, with Lindgren returning to vocal duties as well as handling all instruments, as usual - but even with this rawer soundfield, his emotive visions penetrated just as deeply. While En Känsla Av Hopplöshet is slightly less raw by comparison, LP#7 largely moves at a more violent gait, with blastbeaten speed utilized often and to poignant effect. And yet, it's Lindgren's integration of acoustic guitar here - both in plaintive relief, like the album's opener, or layered across the scabrous black metal - which adds another unique dimension to an already kaleidoscopic Tårfödd. Even with all that speed, Lindgren's songwriting is as breathtaking as ever, reaching its cathartic conclusion on the closing title track. It's no coincidence, then, that En Känsla Av Hopplöshet is slated for release during the autumn: the album literally smells like dry leaves, bleeding bittersweet memories across its barren path.

Koncert SIGH już na początku września

 

Kultowy i jeden z najbardziej innowacyjnych zespołów w historii black metalu, japoński Sigh, wystąpi 4 września w krakowskim Zaścianku, gdzie towarzyszyć mu będzie amerykańska formacja Devil Master.

Skoro twoja debiutancka płyta ukazała się nakładem należącej do Euronymousa wytwórni Deathlike Silence, to z marszu zyskujesz status zespołu kultowego. Tak też jest z japońskim Sigh, którego “Scorn Defeat” wydany został krótko po śmierci gitarzysty Mayhem. Jednak na swoją renomę formacja z Kraju Kwitnącej Wiśni zapracowała przede wszystkim podejściem do komponowania, bodaj najbardziej eksperymentalnym w tamtych czasach, co konsekwentnie rozwijała na kolejnych krążkach. Dowodzona przez Miraia Kawashimę grupa swój black metal od samego początku rozwijała w mało oczywistych kierunkach - najpierw dodając do niego choćby dźwięki fortepianu, a następnie sięgając po wpływy progresywne, psychodeliczne oraz jazzowe. Blisko czterdziestoletnia, niezwykle bogata kariera Sigh czyni go zespołem absolutnie wyjątkowym, którego koncerty przybierają teatralny wymiar.

Amerykański Devil Master dał się poznać jako jeden z najbardziej dzikich i nieokiełznanych zespołów fali łączącej black metal z punkiem, która wylała się na scenę w ostatnich latach. Dorzucając do tego wpływy gotyckiego rocka, kwartet z Filadelfii wyróżnia się na tle reszty dużą przebojowością, co zaprezentowali póki co na dwóch albumach: “Satan Spits on Children of Light” z 2019 oraz wydanym trzy lata później “Ecstasies of Never Ending Night”. Devil Master brzmią, jakby mieszkali w lochach jakiegoś opuszczonego zamku. We wrześniu wypełzną z jego ruin i powrócą do Polski pełni diabelskiego wigoru.

AVULSED z coverem ADRAMELECH

 

ADRAMELECH could not be missing from this ceremony dedicated to cult Nordic Death Metal. The ninth piece of "Nordic Embryogenesis" brings back "Heroes in Godly Blaze", a track from their 1995 demo, later included on the essential "Psychostasia". For AVULSED, this is no ordinary cover: it is a tribute born from almost 35 years of friendship and admiration.

You can listen to the song here:

Digitals: https://music.imusician.pro/a/6I84FB64

Dave Rotten himself comments the following about this song:

"Everyone knows about my particular fondness for early '90s Finnish Death Metal, and ADRAMELECH is without a doubt in my personal top 5. They came from the same town (Loimaa) as DEMIGOD, and the two bands shared not only one of their members, but also the artist responsible for their covers, rehearsal space, and a great friendship between them. I always had a great friendship with DEMIGOD, but it was especially with ADRAMELECH that I developed stronger ties. Ever since their second demo, "Grip of Darkness" from 1992, we've been inseparable for almost 35 years now!

That same year they released a 7"EP, but it wasn't until their next demo, "The Fall" from 1995, that they took a major qualitative leap forward. I liked it so much that I reissued that demo-cassette on 3" Mini CD that same year, and also released their legendary debut "Psychostasia" in 1996. The song we've covered appears on both recordings. They later released a great Mini CD entitled "Seven" in 1998, one year after the famous Repulsive Tour '97 across Europe, which featured INCANTATION, AVULSED, DEEDS OF FLESH and ADRAMELECH. They then recorded a second album in 1999 which didn't live up to expectations at the time (I see it differently now, haha!!), and eventually decided to re-record and release it themselves. In 2005, however, I released their final album, which had actually been recorded in 2002 but had remained hidden away.

ADRAMELECH's style has quite a few similarities to DEMIGOD's first album, with that particular way of combining dark melodies with elaborate and varied Death Metal, although ADRAMELECH were perhaps somewhat faster. "Psychostasia" is an album I will never get tired of listening to, and doing a cover of one of their songs is undoubtedly the most heartfelt tribute of all those featured on this album".

A new piece of this dark puzzle will be revealed every friday until September 4th.

Debiut PROFANATION za miesiąc

 

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces September 25th as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut album of France's Profanation, Ultra-Noise Warfare, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

If Profanation's opening Skull Crushing Violence mini-album was aptly titled, then their Ultra-Noise Warfare debut album is even more so. Lead guitarist Kev Desecrator (of Venefixion et. al.) may've left following its recording, but this nine-song / 27-minute album absolutely DECIMATES and absolutely establishes Profanation as their own entity. Thankfully, their sound has hardly changed - think the unholy offspring of Hadez and Necrovore with more than a hint of the eldritch grind of Terrorizer and England's Doom - but across the entirety of Ultra-Noise Warfare do the Frenchmen exhibit a more world-eating aspect with utterly crushing aplomb. Just the sheer physicality alone, like classic Archgoat and Revenge run through an equally classic Swedeath filter, buries the listener under miles of nuclear vomit and human ashes. And while Profanation play with a palpitating urgency (read: ACTUAL HUMANS recorded properly without punch-ins etc), it's perhaps the album's slower moments that send the strongest shivers down the spine; every nerve alive will feel the megaton weight of the equally gargantuan (and perfectly titled) "Total Stomp" and "Realm of the Absolute."

If Angelcorpse said Exterminate, then Profanation finish the job with Ultra-Noise Warfare.
