„Unending Descent”

Caligari Rec. 2026

Citrinitas to anonimowy twór z Finlandii. Dosłownie tyle o nim wiadomo. No, może poza tym, że jego debiutanckie demo, zawierające trzynaście minut muzyki, wyda końcem stycznia Caligari Records. A że label to, przynajmniej w oczach określonej grupy odbiorców, także moich, uznany, to nie wypadało tych piosenek nie sprawdzić. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Koldbrann / Tilintetgjort

„Den Klandestine Kjerne / Eons in Oblivion”

Dark Essence Records 2026

Pierwszy kawałek tego splitu należy do Koldbrann i jest niejako „zaniechanym” numerem, gdyż Norwedzy postanowili nie umieszczać go na ostatniej płycie i poczekać na jego prezentację w późniejszym terminie. Ten czas nadszedł i oto można posłuchać sobie „Den Klendestine Kjerne” na tym krótkim wydawnictwie. (Czytaj dalej...)

Reedycja jedynki ASS TO MOUTH

 

Grindcore'owy ASS TO MOUTH przedstawia reedycję debiutanckiego pełniaka Kiss Ass. To niewątpliwie spektakularne wydawnictwo ukaże się 30 stycznia 2026 nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Kiss Ass to wybuchowa mieszanka dwudziestu jeden siarczystych ciosów grindcore'a wprost między oczy, a wśród nich kower klasycznego numeru Motörhead We Are The Road Crew. Całość została zremiksowana i zremasterowana na nowo w studiu Soundscope oraz posiada odświeżoną okładkę (autorstwa Krzysztofa Sikorskiego) i layout (Paweł Ozon). Gościnnie na płycie pojawili się Szczota (solo w We Are The Road Crew) oraz Kwiatu (chórki w We Are The Road Crew)

ASS TO MOUTH powstało w grudniu 2004 roku. Aż do końca 2016 zespół regularnie koncertował w całej Europie. W tym czasie udało się również zarejestrować dwa pełne albumy, jedno promo MCD i jeden split 10”. Na początku 2017 roku działalność zespołu została częściowo zawieszona. W międzyczasie, w nowym odświeżonym składzie udało się zarejestrować nowy album Enemy Of The Human Race, który ukazał się w 2024 r. nakładem Selfmadegod Records.

Kiss Ass zostanie wydane w formie eleganckiego jewel case CD i dostępne jest w sklepie internetowym wytwórni.

Zapowiedź nowego HANGING GARDEN

 

Finnish melancholic death/doom metallers with male & female vocals, HANGING GARDEN, unveil details of their new studio album “Isle of Bliss”, set for release on March 20th via Agonia Records. In anticipation of the album, the seven-piece band premieres music video for its opening track, “To Outlive the Nine Ravens”. Watch the clip, below.

On their ninth album “Isle of Bliss”, HANGING GARDEN takes a different approach to their signature somber melancholy: the new full-length presents perhaps a darker, more sinister rendition of the oftentimes dreamlike tones of the past releases. Synths and sweet and airy vocal layers – albeit still present - give more room for a heavier aesthetic in the drum and guitar work.

Tracklisting:

1. To Outlive the Nine Ravens

2. Eternal Trees of Turquoise

3. Isle of Bliss

4. To the Gates of Hel

5. The Death Upon Our Shoulders

6. The Blights Nine

Nowy album TERATOMA pod koniec marca

 

On March 25th internationally, Me Saco Un Ojo Records is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Germany's Teratoma, Longing Veracity, and CD and vinyl LP formats.

Otherworldly atmospherics soon turn to visceral death metal as we begin our all-consuming descent into the bowels of the beast. Murky guitars churn around punchy bass-lines and snappy drums. The old-school death metal method, tried and tested, is delivered with crushing precision and monstrously snarled vocals to complete the mix. Building a strong rhythmic current to unleash a tidal wave of grooving, mid-tempo death metal offal, this is going to grip you with the rusted chains of pure viciousness. The crawling pace of the riffs ensures they are memorable - catchy, even - for your ears to be wormed by chaotic bewilderment and perpetual anguish. The band warn you of the displeasures they inflict, so if you're still here: that’s entirely your own doing. Still with us? Good, because this juggernaut of decay lumbers forward into more devastating territories, building wonderfully on their already strong debut album.

Slithering for over 45 minutes, this is a behemoth of death metal that will either destroy you or have you fully enveloped in its meaty mass for the duration. Plentiful clever grooves switch things up between the charnel atmospherics, so even the dullest mind will have its attention held. As each asphyxiating song creeps forth to swallow you, the void-like atmosphere continues swirling into itself and spitting out only the rotten remains of that which has crossed its path. From the whiplashing assaults to the slower moments of eerie decay, each moment has its own grueling intensity to offer. There is no denying the sheer brute force in terms of the heaviness delivered here. Equally impressive is the totally harrowing ambience they conjure with these songs. Do not miss out on this ruthless slab of death: enter the festering realm of spewing atrocities… [text by Jørgen Kirby, Nattskog webzine]

„Known unto God”

High Roller Rec. 2026

Zastanawiam się, ilu z was pamięta ten belgijski band, który swoje pierwsze kroki na światowej scenie stawiał trzydzieści sześć lat temu. Panowie nagrali dwa pełnometrażowe albumy, by w roku dziewięćdziesiątym trzecim przejść w stan niebytu. Nie będę tutaj prężył muskułów przy opowieściach o ich wczesnym okresie, bo z nazwą Cyclone spotykam się tak naprawdę po raz pierwszy w życiu. (Czytaj dalej...)

Zwiastun nowego MELTING ROT

 

Today, Hells Headbangers announces March 27th as the international release date for Melting Rot's highly anticipated second album, Infatuation With Premeditation, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

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 HERE at Hells Headbangers's official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Za dwa tygodnie split KOLDBRANN / TILINTETGJORT ANNOUNCE

Debiut ERBEET AZHAK w marcu

 

On March 7th internationally, Amor Fati Productions will release Only the Vile Will Remain, the first full-length by Erbeet Azhak, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Erbeet Azhak was conceived by Corvus (Wolvennest, LVTHN, Aerdryk, Cult of Erinyes) through visions of collapse and extinction. The name was whispered; the album is its incarnation. Nine movements toward death: deliberate, irreversible, liberating.

With S. Iblis (Possession) on guitar solos, unrestrained and merciless, Laye's inhuman drumming and Onbra Oscoura (Trogne, Abyssal Vacuum) spreading suffocating layers of decay, Corvus unleashes a vortex of filth, melody, and dissonance. This is black metal reduced to its essential function: negation, violence, and the destruction of lies. No evolution. No redemption. Only refusal.

Mainly recorded in Corvus' lair and mixed / mastered by Déhà at Blackout Studio, Only the Vile Will Remain breathes with an organic, rotting sound, alive enough to hurt, dead enough to matter. The presence of Zd (LVTHN) on "Lecherous Angels" seals the record with a scream stripped of humanity, a wound left open by design.

Only the Vile Will Remain stands as a manifesto in which hatred and chaos coexist under the dominion of a faceless-yet-resolute entity: Erbeet Azhak.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Lecherous Angels" HERE at Amor Fati's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Erbeet Azhak's Only the Vile Will Remain

1. Mother of Serpent

2. The Weakness of Our Cycle

Singiel NOVOMUNDO

 

After teasing their debut for the past few weeks, Roman band NOVOMUNDO are ready to unveil their first full-length album, "The Cursed Cult", set for release on March 1st, 2026. The band has already offered glimpses of their sonic vision through previous singles and content, building strong anticipation for the upcoming record and showcasing the clear artistic direction of their project.

Today, NOVOMUNDO reveal their new single, “Bokor”, accompanied by the official video. The track is marked by a tense, restless energy and a richly detailed soundscape: tight, aggressive riffs intertwine with powerful grooves and dark, immersive atmospheres, while tribal-inspired percussion and haunting melodic lines emerge with striking clarity. “Bokor” highlights the band’s ability to merge extreme and melodic elements, alternating between moments of raw intensity and more reflective, atmospheric passages without ever losing force or cohesion.

With this latest single, NOVOMUNDO continue to establish their distinct style, giving fans a further taste of the debut album while demonstrating their compositional maturity and meticulous attention to sonic detail. The release of “Bokor” marks another significant step in the band’s journey, uniting aggression, complexity, and emotional impact into a single, powerful musical statement.

Watch the “Bokor” video HERE.

Recenzja Harrowed “The Eternal Hunger”

 Harrowed

“The Eternal Hunger”

Dying Victims Prod. 2026

 

Harrowed come from Stockholm and they play death metal. Old school death metal. However, anyone who assumes that this is just another derivative of Entombed or Dismember is mistaken. Mainly because Tobias and Adam have mixed the essence of this genre with punk influences. And they have done so in proportions that clearly highlight the presence of both genres. (Continue reading)
