Recenzja Teratoma „Longing Voracity”

 Teratoma

„Longing Voracity”

Me Saco un Ojo 2026

To drugi album berlińskiego Teratoma, bowiem debiut, zresztą bardzo obiecujący, ukazał się ponad cztery lata temu. Cieszę się, że pokładane w niektórych zespołach nadzieje stają się faktem, bo słychać wyraźnie, że panowie ten okres czasu dobrze spożytkowali. Nie zmieniając jednocześnie stylistyki, bowiem, podobnie jak „Purulent Manifestations”, tak i „Longing Voracity” zawiera czystej krwi metal śmierci spod znaku starej szkoły. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Ainzamkeit „Fluch des Nachzehrers”

 Ainzamkeit

„Fluch des Nachzehrers”

Purity Through Fire 2026

Ainzamkeit to duet z Dolnej Saksonii, który muzykuje od 2023 roku, grając depresyjny black metal. W dzień wagarowicza wydadzą za pośrednictwem swojej rodzimej wytwórni drugi album, zawierający osiem utworów, które przyjemnie lecą w przestrzeń. To w sumie bardziej melancholijny niż depresyjny bleczur, w którym dominują średnie i wolne tempa. (Czytaj dalej...)

BANISHER przedstawia teledysk do utworu "Daymare"

 

Zespół BANISHER prezentuje teledysk do utworu Daymare. To drugi klip promujący najnowszy album zespołu Metamorphosis, który ukazał się 30 stycznia 2026 nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Przez lata w skład BANISHER wchodzili muzycy związani z: Decapitated, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Belphegor, Vital Remains, DIETH i Hate.

Ostatni album zespołu, Degrees of Isolation, ukazał się nakładem Selfmadegod Records w 2020 roku. Po wydaniu trzech nowych singli w latach 2023 - 2024, BANISHER ruszył w trasę Aftermath Tour, podczas której zagrał 12 koncertów w całej Polsce. W 2025 roku zespół połączył siły z Terrordome i Dormant Ordeal w ramach Triple XX Tour - wspólnej trasy z okazji 20-lecia działalności zespołów, której kulminacją był wyjątkowy koncert w rodzinnym Rzeszowie podczas festiwalu Rockowa Noc.

Wchodząc w 2026 rok, BANISHER powraca ze świeżą energią oraz nowym albumem Metamorphosis, który stanowi jak dotąd najbardziej dojrzałe i różnorodne dzieło zespołu, będąc jednocześnie podsumowaniem 20-letniej drogi BANISHER oraz refleksją nad burzliwym światem, który go ukształtował. Choć album jest głęboko zakorzeniony w historii samego zespołu, odnosi się również do szerszych tematów izolacji, niepewności, przemiany i upadku, które zdefiniowały ostatnie lata.

Światowa premiera teledysku Daymare w piątek, 27 lutego 2026 tutaj

Pierwszym wideo promującym Metamorphosis było Manifest Of Justice. Obejrzyj tutaj

Metamorphosis ukazał się jako CD, LTD CD oraz dedykowany merch, a w dalszej kolejności dostępne będzie LP. Do nabycia w sklepie internetowym Selfmadegod Records.

Youtube: https://youtu.be/ifJIEHhmuEA

Throughout their career, the band has performed extensively across Europe, appearing at numerous shows and festivals.

Their style has remained consistent over the years, delivering a devastating blend of Brutal Death Metal with subtle Black Metal influences that will undoubtedly appeal to fans of bands such as Dying Fetus, Behemoth, Suffocation, Hate Eternal, Decapitated, Cattle Decapitation, Aborted, and Benighted.

Debiut MULTIWOMB w przyszłym miesiącu

 

Indonesian Brutal Death Metal trio, Multiwomb, will unleash their debut full-length album Anatomy of Gorelust, on March 23 via Grave Island Records. The album is a relentless 9-track statement of surgical brutality and gore-driven extremity.

Across 26 minutes of tightly executed devastation, the band delivers dense riff structures, punishing drum work and deeply guttural vocals rooted firmly in the traditions of classic brutal death metal. Rather than chasing trends, Multiwomb focus on precision, impact and raw intensity.

The album artwork was created by the legendary Jon Zig, known for his long experience and strong visual identity in the brutal death metal scene.

Recorded at Nada Rakta Chamber and Volcanic Studio, then mixed and mastered at Ultra Organic Studio, the album balances clarity with aggression, allowing every riff and blast to hit with calculated force. Each track feels like a deliberate incision, sharp and surgical.

Conceptually, Anatomy of Gorelust explores anatomical obsession and grotesque imagery, while establishing Multiwomb’s identity within the international extreme underground.

2. Labia Dismemberment

Frank Blackfire dołącza na Hells Bells

 

FRANK BLACKFIRE leads new wave of additions to HELLS BELLS FESTIVAL 2026

SŁOŃ, DROWNED IN SILVER and DIVING STOVE also confirmed for Szczecin’s debut edition

Szczecin, Poland; 26 February 2026: Hells Bells Festival has unveiled thrash metal royalty Frank Blackfire as the spearhead of its latest line-up announcement. The legendary guitarist, renowned for his work with Sodom and Kreator, will arrive in Szczecin with a set specifically curated from the cult thrash metal anthems he helped create. Festival attendees can expect a trip through the history of Teutonic thrash, featuring tracks from iconic albums such as “Persecution Mania”, “Agent Orange” and “Coma of Souls”.

The festival also welcomes Słoń, a pioneer of horrorcore/death rap in Poland and the head of Brain Dead Familia. Słoń has built a reputation for live shows that rival any metal concert in intensity. With a performance style that ignites walls of death and mosh pits in the audience, his presence on the Łasztownia waterfront bridges the gap between extreme rap and the metal underground.

The atmosphere will shift toward the mystical with the addition of Drowned In Silver. Despite their recent debut album “Mothers” via the respected Pagan Records, the band consists of seasoned veterans from across the black metal and experimental scenes. Their music provides a unique balance between occult rock and trance-like expression: dark, heavy and deeply immersive.

Rounding out the announcement is Diving Stove, a fresh force that has taken the Polish scene by storm. Known for their wild and unpredictable live performances, the band’s most recent release is their stellar thrash masterpiece, “Atavism”.

These new additions join previously confirmed acts: Dirkschneider (All-Accept set), Grave Digger, Possessed, NunSlaughter, The Materia, Pretensje, Cockney Rejects, Vader, Discharge, Furia, Dezerter, Belzebong, The Stubs, Dola, Hamulec and Seks W Czasach Wojny.

Debiut THE GREAT OBSERVER końcem kwietnia

 

On April 30th internationally, BlackSeed Productions is proud to present The Great Observer's striking debut album, Loss of Transcendence, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Driven by a shared longing for boundless expression, Daniele Z. (guitar and vocals, ex-Night Gaunt) and Luca E. (drums and vocals, ex-Demonomancy and ex-Thulsa Doom) came together in a rehearsal room in Rome in 2021 to start a new musical project. At the time, nothing was clear other than what it would be called: The Great Observer.

The name The Great Observer was chosen due to the founders' fascination with the age-old questions that have haunted humanity since the beginning of recorded history, whereby the further away you zoom out from Earth, the more fragile and invisible mankind would appear in the eyes of a higher consciousness or "being" tucked away in the lost regions of the universe. This ominous vision shaped up the music to be a mixture of obscure tones and grim melodies, coexisting with chaotic bursts of energy, in a ravaging mixture of Mediterranean black metal (Mortuary Drape, Zemial) and early death / thrash (Canada's Slaughter, Master, Order from Chaos).

In 2023, Claudio S. (bass, Vultures Vengeance) and Matteo A. (guitar) joined the ranks of The Great Observer, allowing the band to complete the composition and recording of their debut full-length, Loss of Transcendence, which represented the culmination of the previous years of exploration, experimentation, and refinement.

The recording of Loss of Transcendence took place between late 2024 and early 2025, while the mixing and mastering was carried out by The Forge Music Productions (Flamekeeper, Vultures Vengeance, Night Gaunt etc). The cover artwork and logo were created Claudio, who's also well known as illustrator for many bands and as a tattoo artist. The Great Observer brings forth an omen for a world ever closer to collapse!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "The Great Observer" HERE at BlackSeed's Bandcamp as well as HERE at BlackSeed's official YouTube channel. Aforementioned cover artwork and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for The Great Observer's Loss of Transcendence

Recenzja Possession „The Mother of Darkness”

 Possession

„The Mother of Darkness”

Iron Bonehead 2026

Possession z nową płytą wyskoczył niespodziewanie, niczym diabeł w pudełka, bez żadnych zapowiedzi,  singli czy innych zwiastunów. Bardzo to dobra informacja, tym bardziej, że od ostatniego wydawnictwa Belgów, w postaci dwóch wypuszczonych jednocześnie splitów minęło siedem lat, a od ostatniego pełniaka to nawet dziewięć. Warto było jednak czekać, zwłaszcza że długość (ponad pięćdziesiąt minut), a przede wszystkim zawartość „The Mother of Darkness” w pełni ten czas oczekiwania rekompensuje. (Czytaj dalej...)

Demo DØDMOON w maju

 

Today, Signal Rex announces March 13th as the international release date for Dødmoon's striking debut demo, Demo MMXXV, on CD and cassette tape formats.

Dødmoon are a brand-new entity from Finland. However, one listen to their debut Demo MMXXV and you'll surely know they're old souls. To summarize them as "just" Finnish black metal is something of a disservice: while their sound undoubtedly has been shaped by their homeland's post-Strength & Honor landscape, they eschew their contemporaries' more anthemic or at least hummable qualities in favor of cold, hammering filth. More than the strident songwriting itself is Dødmoon's execution - simultaneously DEAD and yet so boiling-blood alive - that, when stacked against a soundfield that's exceptionally well-rounded for a demo, points the way for massive potential to bloom across a full-length. Three songs in 16 minutes, these are indeed "Victorious Signs of Arcane Madness"!

In the meantime, stream Demo MMXXV in its entirety HERE at Signal Rex's Bandcamp, where the demo can be preordered. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Dødmoon's Demo MMXXV

Zapowiedź nowego PIG'S BLOOD

 

Bestial death horde PIG'S BLOOD are going scorched earth with their inaugural release under the Dark Descent Records banner.

Destroying the Spirit sees the band reach a new level of relentless, blackened brutality. An unholy barrage of volcanic riffing and abyssal hostility, Destroying the Spirit is violence incarnate.

The band has launched a stream of the album's closing track "Strikeforce of Isolate Will." Listen now at: youtu.be/w9xeLa0ifG8?si=OemBEPkeyWAoPO12

Destroying the Spirit is set for release on April 24 on digital, CD and vinyl (standard black and yellow/oxblood variants). Pre-order links below:



www.darkdescentrecords.com/shop

www.ddmsuo..eu

darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

Hailing from Milwaukee, PIG’S BLOOD have spent the last decade-plus unleashing their unrepentant strain of death metal upon the underground. While often grouped under the banner of war metal, their sound stretches far beyond any single label.

Drawing from the raw, militant fury of bands like Revenge and Blasphemy, PIG’S BLOOD fuses that chaotic savagery with a backbone indebted to early ’90s American legends such as Deicide, Order from Chaos, and Incantation.

The result is a malformed yet deliberate hybrid—bludgeoning battle hymns delivered with a sharp, serrated edge. Through sheer force and conviction, PIG’S BLOOD continue carving out their own brutal stronghold within the death metal underground.

Track list:

1. Standing in Depravity

2. Destroying the Spirit

3. Tartarean Infection

4. Power to Stop It

5. Rabid Dogs

6. Satanic Hammer of Justice

7. Aftermath

8. Commitment to Death

9. Ravenous Hellslaught

Split NIXIL / DROUTH w kwietniu

 

Baltimore Black Metallers, Nixil, and Portland Black/Death quartet, Drouth, have collaborated on a scathing split release, titled Toward Dead Temples! The album will be released April 24 on vinyl, cassette tape, and digital formats.

Toilet ov Hell has premiered the official video for the album's first single, a Nixil track titled "Never Rise Again." Get in on it at:

toiletovhell.com/exclusive-video-premiere-nixils-never-rise-again

The bands have each released a statement concerning their respective contributions to Toward Dead Temples, as follows:

Nixil: “Our contributions to Toward Dead Temples explore the spiritual depth of death and isolation. Through the use of imagery representative of the crumbling edifice of christo-fascism, we strive to push toward the eradication of the oppressor in all its manifestations. Sonically, this album marks a point of transition for us, beginning a deep dive into darker waters on a quest for stranger, more unsettling discordance. We are thrilled to be joining forces with our friends in Drouth to present this anthem of defiance against the crushing weight of impending dictatorship - until all tyrants and their temples fall.”

Drouth: “Originally recorded during The Teeth of Time sessions in late 2023, 'Cathartes Aura' and 'The Outer Church' stand on their own by representing both the past and future of Drouth. We are proud to share this release with our friends in Nixil and join them in spreading sonic misery throughout the West Coast this May.”

Nowy POSSESSION do odsłuchu

 

Once again, opened are the Gates… we summon Anneliese’s Spirit, once more for her to inspire the Possession entity to tell the Tale of The Mother of Darkness…

Hidden in the Bulges Forest, among its dark hills

Stands a castle where a demonic power lives

Swallowing the blood and the souls of sacrificed innocent angels…

Enter the Black Chapel, hear the graveside prayer as They let them run during nocturnal wild hunts. The hunters exhulted hearts scream in the night…

The more they’ll cry, the brighter they’ll shine and all shall die.

The Mother of Darkness shaped as the latrodectus Tela awaits the Young Blood Ritual…

Come and See.

Today, Finnish heavy metallers Chalice stream the entirety of their highly anticipated second album, Divine Spear, at heavily trafficked web-portal InvisibleOranges.com. Set for international release on February 27th via Dying Victims Productions, hear Chalice's Divine Spear in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Drugi singiel od MELTING ROT

 

Today, grindcore cult Melting Rot reveal the new track "Blinded. Beaten. Stabbed." The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated second album, Infatuation With Premeditation, set for international release on March 27th via Hells Headbangers. Hear Melting Rot's "Blinded. Beaten. Stabbed." in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel.

Formed in 2017, Melting Rot quickly made their presence felt in the underground with two EPs in as many years and then a three-way split after that. In 2021 came their full-length debut, Blood Delusions, for the cult Headsplit Records. And while it's been quiet on their front since then, Melting Rot later linked up with Hells Headbangers for the Cold Case Files compilation, and now present their most punishing record yet: Infatuation With Premeditation.

Their second full-length, Infatuation With Premeditation is prime Melting Rot taken to the penultimate extreme. Featuring 11 completely distinct tracks - a rarity, it must be said, in the grindcore world - this 18-minute whirlwind of filth & fury is equal parts Dead Infection, Excruciating Terror, and 2000s Regurgitate. No more but definitely no less, Melting Rot proudly fly the flag for all-caps GRINDCORE: D-beat to blast to stomp to repeat, mince as necessary, and sparing no amount of gutsfucking heaviness. Truly, Infatuation With Premeditation is as sharp as a scalpel blade and as effective as a sledgehammer, sluicing sickness set to stun - and actually catchy, like so much foundational grindcore and deathgrind. Suitably, Exhumed's Matt Harvey contributes guest vocals on "Morbid Infatuation," underlining the sort of sonic lineage to which Melting Rot honorably belong. Canoes, leave the hall!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Blinded. Beaten. Stabbed." HERE at Hells Headbangers' official YouTube channel. Also hear the previously revealed "Morbid Infatuation" HERE, also at Hells Headbangers's official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Malignant Voices 2026

 

Pod koniec lutego, tradycyjnie już nakładem Malignant Voices, ukaże się nowy album Ashes. W tym przypadku słowo „nowy” należy potraktować dosłownie, i to na dwójnasób. Poza skojarzeniem oczywistym nadmienić bowiem należy, że oblicze zespołu zaprezentowane na „Into the Woodlands” różni się znacznie od tego, z czym mieliśmy możliwość obcować przy okazji „Ashes” czy „Gloom, Ash and Emptiness to the Horizon”. (Czytaj dalej...)

„Piercing the Heart of the World”

No Remorse Records 2026

 

Triumpher powstał w 2019 roku w Atenach i w marcu powróci ze swoją trzecią płytą. Grecy grają power metal z trochę ostrzejszymi zrywami, które wskazywać mogą na ukłon w stronę melodyjnego, szwedzkiego black metalu. Fundament aranżacji stanowią heavy metalowe akordy, które doprawione rozpasanymi chwytliwościami robią piorunujące wrażenie, jeśli oczywiście ktoś takie rzeczy lubi. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy A.H.P. za miesiąc

 

On March 21st internationally, Purity Through Fire is proud to present A.H.P.'s highly anticipated second album, Alltid Imot Deg, on CD format. The vinyl version will follow this summer.

Formed in 2011 in Bergen, A.H.P. are something of a "dark horse" within Norwegian black metal: their sound isn't Norwegian Black Metal Exclusively, and band founder / songwriter Gulnar originally hails from Poland. However, being something an outlier has made A.H.P. all the more unique. From palatably varied songwriting to a more mechanistic soundwall, from tastefully unexpected cover-song choices to even-more-varied lineups, A.H.P. follow their own path, forged in fire, ice, and iron will.

Now, a full decade since their Against Human Plague debut album, A.H.P. return to reassert those unique virtues with Alltid Imot Deg. Comprising five songs in 41 minutes, A.H.P.'s second album is indeed more epic-minded than the first, each song creating a shapeshifting vortex where four separate vocalists narrate foul deeds and filthy states of the soul; among those guests are Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult's Onielar. Gulnar rises to the occasion with songwriting that's by turns stealthy, hypnotic, schizophrenic, and thuggish - but always, ALWAYS, is there an ever-building fountain of cold & crunching violence. That A.H.P.'s soundwall retains their elder Moonfoggy-mechanistic feel whilst emitting a sort of delirious humanity only makes Alltid Imot Deg all the more compelling - and, always again, all the more unique. Still, the best is saved for last with the 15-minute title track, which is an awe-inspiring maw of impossibly alluring darkness; you will DROWN in this.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Lust for Murder," featuring the aforementioned Onielar, HERE at Purity Through Fire's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for A.H.P.'s Alltid Imot Deg

1. Souls to Inhale (Armagog - vocals)

2. Lust for Murder (Onielar / DNS - vocals)

3. In Endless Disgust

Formed in 2002 in Moscow by Kist (drums/vocals) and Dust (guitars), GROND officially began their journey in 2005 with the release of their first demo. After intense live activity and several lineup changes, the band consolidated their sound with the EP “Steel Coffins” and later with their debut full-length “Howling From the Deep”, marking the beginning of their oceanic and maritime-themed identity.

In 2016, they released their second album, “Worship the Kraken”, through Xtreem Music, further expanding their dark, sea-bound mythology and strengthening their position within the underground Death Metal scene. Following European festival appearances, continued live assaults, and additional lineup changes, the band eventually solidified its current formation: Kist (vocals), Void (guitars), Sarghas (bass), and Kadath (drums).

With this lineup, GROND have recorded their new conceptual album, “The Temple,” inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s story of the same name and intertwined with the historical figure of German World War I U-boat commander Otto Eduard Weddigen. The album will be unleashed on April 30th, 2026 through Xtreem Music.

Nowy kawałek od CENOTAFIO

 

Today, Chilean black / death metallers Cenotafio premiere the new track "Acausal Escisión" at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated third album, La Escisión Acausal: Por La Vía Inversa Hacia La Descarnación, set for international release on April 1st via Demoniac Productions. Hear Cenotafio's "Acausal Escisión" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Cenotafio hail from the frontiers of southern Chile, in a bloody transfixion that decomposes and darkens the veins of everything created under the stormy & wrathful black / death metal that's been inoculated all along the last decade. To date, the band's two full-lengths have cemented Cenotafio's position as one of Chile's best new-breed black / death bands - no mean feat, given the rich history of Chilean underground metal and its ever-thriving scene that's arguably even stronger today. Then again, the duo of Daniel Hermosilla and Patricio Kusnir are no mere newcomers, as both men have been playing in a number of hordes for well over a decade, including the cult Invehertex.

Now, after six years since their last full-length, Cenotafio reveal themselves as a banner as well as an alliance with their long-awaited third album. Titled La Escisión Acausal: Por La Vía Inversa Hacia La Descarnación (English: "The Acausal Cleavage, through the inverted way to the fleshing out"), the record's weighty title is accordingly illustrated by its foul, feral contents. Across the 43-minute album's six tracks, Cenotafio lay bare a supremely sepulchral landscape where genre delineations become irrelevant. Black metal devours death metal, then vice versa, all while a roiling undercurrent of doom provides the rhythmic sturm under drang that's seemingly scattershot but eventually reveals its restless genius. Sprawling and demanding, to be sure, but those of a hardier constitution are rewarded by La Escisión Acausal's depraved sonic and spiritual depths. One could even liken the album to the Ouroboros, buried under miles of ash: blackened death metal, deathened black metal, blackdeathdoom...all spiraling in hypnotic lockstep, all consuming and all-consuming, in salacious delight. It's an understatement, then, to say that this wait for Cenotafio's return has been worth it.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Acausal Escisión" exclusively HERE, courtesy of NoCleanSinging.com. Also hear the previously revealed "Osario" both HERE at Demoniac Productions' Bandcamp as well as HERE at the label's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

W marcu nowy HIGHGATE

 

Kentucky's Doom laden Sludge lords HIGHGATE have joined the Horror Pain Gore Death Productions roster for the release of their new full-length album, Prophecies Of Eternal Horror.

Emanating from the hills of Northern Kentucky, HIGHGATE unleash a Sludge filled, Doom laden yowl that speaks of years of struggle and despair. Prophecies Of Eternal Horror finds the dead bodies stacking to the sky as HIGHGATE grapple with global war atrocities, religious fanaticism and class warfare.

HIGHGATE has shared the album's first single, "At Paranoia’s Poison Door." The song is described as a blackened-doom battle cry against an overreaching government that wants us too scared to think or act for ourselves. The lyrical refrain of “crawl to your masters” speaks to the song's theme of government capability to brainwash citizens into cowering boot-lickers.

Stream the song now at youtu.be/_CQJ2x6vwHc.

Prophecies Of Eternal Horror track listing:

1. Terraforming Hell

2. Death Comes

3. At Paranoia's Poison Door

5. The Writhing Dawn

Prophecies Of Eternal Horror is set to be released on March 27.

EP-ka DRUDKH w kwietniu

 

Born from the whispering winds and the brooding landscapes of Ukraine, a realm steeped in history and draped in the enigma of folklore, emerges DRUDKH - a beacon of profound expression in the vast expanse of black metal. In their essence, DRUDKH are the custodians of a narrative, combining atmospheric and pagan influences into a mesmerizing portrayal of their homeland’s soul. Their journey is one of introspection, seeking to create music that evoke a profound emotional resonance that stirs the depths of the human experience.

With the unfolding of Shadow Play, their latest album, DRUDKH invites the listener into a realm where the boundaries between the corporeal and the ethereal blur. This album emerges as an ode to the contrasting forces that shape existence: light against shadow, silence against storm, ephemeral beauty against the decay of oblivion. A story untold, exploring themes of exile, the cycle of life and death, and the perpetual yearning for a return to origins—both personal and collective.

Through Shadow Play, DRUDKH transcends the conventional expectations of music, engaging in a dialogue that is both personal and universal. They challenge us to confront our own shadows, to find beauty in desolation, and to appreciate the intricate dance of light and darkness that defines our existence. This album is another chapter in DRUDKH’s storied discography - it represents an invigorated exploration into the myriad facets of human emotion, the relentless pursuit of truth, and the undying passion for unearthing the hidden threads that connect us to the past.

In the wake of Shadow Play, DRUDKH extend this same creative breath with Thaw, a three-track EP recorded during the album’s sessions and conceived within the same emotional horizon. Rather than opening a new chapter, it lingers within the existing one, offering a quieter, more concentrated meditation on transition and inner exile. If the album traced the tension between shadow and illumination, Thaw inhabits the fragile interval between stillness and movement, where change begins almost imperceptibly beneath a frozen surface. In doing so, it reinforces the coherence of this period in DRUDKH’s work, deepening its atmosphere and affirming continuity over rupture.

DRUDKH continues to illuminate the path for those who dare to wander, to question, and to dream.

Tracklist:

1. Memory (07:07)

2. Somewhere, Sometime (05:51)

3. A Moment in Eternity (07:02)

Full runtime: 20:10
