Recenzja Sabotør „Første Aksjon”

 Sabotør

„Første Aksjon”

Dark Essence Rec. 2026

Panie i panowie, browar w dłoń! Oto z Norwegii nadchodzi debiutancki album Sabotør, do którego bez złocistego napoju przysiadać nie wypada. Dwie trzecie składu odpowiedzialnego za ten materiał udzielało się wcześniej w deathmetalowym Haalbuaer (wszyscy znamy, prawda? Hehe!), ale zapuściło wąsa (albo dopiero im wyrósł z pełną siłą, bo to na oko bardzo młode chłopaki), założyło katany, i się zaczęło. Venomy, nie Venomy, pierwsza fala black metalu, alkohol, panienki… (Czytaj dalej...)

„Promethean Vanguard”

ATMF 2026

Niezły split wysmażyło na koniec kwietnia ATMF, a zamysł ten label miał ważny, bo wydawnictwo to pojawiło się jako sprzeciw wobec black metalowej sceny, która poprzez manipulacje lewackich i multikulturowych hochsztaplerów, zatraciła pierwotny instynkt, zatracając fundamentalne założenia gatunku. Innymi słowy, uważa się za ekstremalną, lecz w rzeczywistości z dnia na dzień łagodnieje, dostosowując się do mięknącego odbiorcy. (Czytaj dalej...)

Kilka nowości w Defense Records

 


THE RUINS OF BEVERAST i ESOTERIC na dwóch koncertach w Polsce

 

Hipnotyczny The Ruins Of Beverast zagra w listopadzie w Warszawie i Krakowie, gdzie towarzyszyć mu będą funeraldoomowa legenda Esoteric oraz świeża krew niemieckiego black metalu - Imha Tarikat.

Krótko po rozwiązaniu Nagelfar Alexander von Meilenwald powołał do życia The Ruins Of Beverast - projekt, z którym na przestrzeni ponad dwudziestu lat wypracował sobie pozycję w absolutnej czołówce atmosferycznego black metalu. Na początku roku, standardowo nakładem Van Records, ukazał się jego nowy album “Tempelschlaf”, którego hipnotyzujących walorów będziecie mogli doświadczyć na żywo w listopadzie.

Esoteric wywodzą się z miasta, w którym narodził się heavy metal, czyli Birmingham, więc o bylejakości nie może być tu mowy. Funeraldoomowa legenda, której twórczością inspiruje się większość zespołów w gatunku. W jej dyskografii nie ma słabych punktów, a na ten moment zamyka ją wydany w 2019 roku krążek “A Pyrrhic Existence”.

Imha Tarikat to obecnie jeden z najważniejszych zespołów współczesnej sceny blackmetalowej w Niemczech, co potwierdzili wydaną w zeszłym roku, świetnie przyjętą płytą “Confessing Darkness”. W artystycznej wizji Kerema Yilmaza wspierają m.in. Ricardo Baum, wokalista The Night Eternal, oraz Jerome Reil - syn perkusisty Kreator, Jürgena Reila.

Nowy DELIVERANCE za trzy tygodnie

 


Formed in 2013 by Etienne Sarthou (Guitar, Karras, ex-AqME, Freitot) and Pierre Duneau (Vocals & Keyboards, ex-Memories of a Dead Man), DELIVERANCE released an EP (Doomsday, Please) the same year, followed four years later by their debut album CHRST.

However, it was truly with their second and third albums that Deliverance established themselves as a cornerstone of the French avant-garde metal scene. Titled Holocaust 26:1-46 (2020) and Neon Chaos in a Junk-Sick Dawn (2022), these two pivotal releases earned critical acclaim and allowed the Parisian quartet to perform on prestigious stages such as Hellfest, Motocultor, Post in Paris, Rise & Fall, and Tyrant Fest.

In 2026, DELIVERANCE returns once again, completely breaking free from artistic and musical boundaries. While their black metal/sludge DNA remains strong, it now intersects with elements of post-rock, progressive rock, Floydian psychedelia, and even contemporary indie rock/electro - completely unprecedented in this musical sphere.

The Voyager Golden Banquet takes the listener away from the earthly realm and familiar landmarks, plunging them into the vastness of the unknown. The journey is at once tumultuous, unsettling, and even frightening, yet also serene and luminous.

This space odyssey paints a cinematic soundscape more vividly than ever. Whereas its predecessor was cathartic and oppressive, this new album reflects artists in search of inner peace, attainable only through daring, all-encompassing adventure, a quest for light with no turning back.

Nowe AVERSIO HUMANITATIS i PURE WRATH już dostępne

 


AVERSIO HUMANITATIS and PURE WRATH both unveiled their latest works of Art last Friday, April 24th – two outstanding new visions of contemporary Black Metal. Where AVERSIO HUMANITATIS' "To Become the Endless Static" is a maelstrom of punishing and unrelenting dissonant Black Metal with Death Metal undercurrents, PURE WRATH's "Bleak Days Ahead" channels the tragedies and emptiness of modern urban existence with deep melancholy and frenzied desperation.

Both albums are now available on CD, vinyl and digital formats, alongside merchandise, via DMP's EU, US and Bandcamp shops.

Singiel od SCORDATURA

 


Stoked we can finally reveal our next release and welcome SCORDATURA in our roster!
With 'Led Into Oblivion' the Scottish combo unleashes 9 tracks of pure death metal madness, delivering their most ambitious and punishing work yet!
Backed by nearly two decades of experience, the band refines its brutality into a precise, sense‑shattering assault! Relentless, razor‑sharp and fully committed to extremity, 'Led Into Oblivion' is a fierce statement of technically edged, uncompromising death metal!
'Led Into Oblivion' is the first single off the eponymous new album.

„Blood Marks”

Xtreem Music 2026

Z Xtreem Music uczucia mam mieszane. Z jednej strony jest to label, który wydaje pozycje do bólu średnie, jak choćby Paganizer czy Revolting, a z drugiej potrafi czasem zaskoczyć czymś świeżym. Chociaż właściwie słowo „świeżym” nie do końca tu pasuje, bo takie kapele jak Ural czy Funeral Vomit niczym nowatorskim przecież nie zaskakują. Są to jednak zespoły, które w ostatnim czasie mocno przywaliły mi po mordzie, grając staroszkolny metal, bez zbytnich innowacji. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Werwolf

„Satanic Terror”

Dominance of Darkness 2026

Ten niemiecki band gra black metal od 2005 roku. Przez wiele lat pozostawał w sferze podziemnej i tylko co jakiś czas, nagrywał jakąś epkę, demo, bądź pojawiał się na jakimś splicie. Aż tu nagle nadszedł rok 2026 i Werwolf zdecydował się wychylić łeb nad powierzchnię, ukazując tym samym swe diabelskie oblicze. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy kawałek VOIDTHRONE

 


Seattle (WA) - Dissonant Blackened Death Metal quartet, Voidthrone, have partnered with Mystification Zine for the video premiere of "Ren Omega," the third single from forthcoming album, Dreaming Rat. Click below!


Voidthrone will release Dreaming Rat, their most unhinged and trenchant record yet, on May 8.

Structured as a three-part cosmic death ritual, Dreaming Rat follows a triptych of parallel arcs: a solar system burning through its lifespan, a civilization collapsing under its own complexity, and a parasite replicating itself across language, culture, and flesh. The band trades some of the prior atmospheric murk for a more immediate, frenetic mix—closer, sharper, and meaner.

Vocalist Zhenya Frolov delivers his most insane performance yet, retching through death-metal lows, black-metal shrieks, and ritualistic howls as the album spirals toward extinction. The listener is invited to drift calmly and unflinching through the maelstrom, like the dreaming rat on the album’s cover.

Debiut HOC EST BELLUM w czerwcu

 


Time To Kill Records proudly announces the release of the debut full-length from HOC EST BELLUM, titled “Filth Majesty”, set for June 26, 2026.

Conceived as an act of ruthless sonic warfare, “Filth Majesty” descends with the force of dive bombers cutting through the sky, unleashing wave after wave of black-death devastation. Each track hits like a strafing run, relentless and unyielding, carving through silence with bursts of violence and scorched intensity.

Rejecting the sterile precision of modern production, HOC EST BELLUM embrace a warm, organic sound that feels immediate and physical, closer to the ground, closer to impact. The result is an album that breathes fire and dust, evoking hostile terrains and collapsing frontlines rather than polished surfaces.

There is no room for restraint in “Filth Majesty”. The record advances with militant purpose, channeling pure extremism into a barrage of riffs and percussive artillery. It is an uncompromising statement, where black metal’s venom and death metal’s crushing force converge into a single, destructive campaign.

The first single "Nightside Necromancy" is now available:



Tracklist:
​1. The Desolator (Intro) / Deify, Degenerate
2. Black Metal Terror
3. Vomit Black Ecstasy
4. Passion of the Antichrist
5. Blood of the VVytches
6. Nightside Necromancy
7. Winds of Decay
8. Serpent of the Black Pit
9. The Goatborn Ones
10. Beast Ejaculate / Spiral of Sodomy (Outro)

Drugi ASTRIFEROUS za niecały miesiąc

 


On June 26th internationally, Me Saco Un Ojo Records is proud to present Astriferous' highly anticipated second album, Atavistic Unraveling, on vinyl LP format. Pulverised will be handling the CD version.

Continuing the primordial descent that kicked off in earnest with their 2023 debut album, Pulsations From the Black Orb, Astriferous return with their second full-length, Atavistic Unraveling. Much like that celebrated debut, the Costa Ricans' sophomore album is perfectly titled: truly, the sensations one finds spread across this dread landscape are an Atavistic Unraveling. Thankfully, Astriferous' foundation has changed little - the swarming morbidity of early '90s Finnish death metal fused with classic South American madness - but there are (dread) developments that prove the band are just now hitting their stride.

Despite its title, Atavistic Unraveling shows Astriferous at their tightest and sharpest, with chops and execution meeting at a nexus of impossibly horrific proportions. Duly armed, the quartet take their songwriting to strange, skronking lengths, rendering their angularity both an unsettling and utterly attacking thing. Likewise, the slight cleaning-up of production has paid dividends, allowing these malformed ruminations to fully seep into the listener's psyche - mangling the mind, wracking the body - whilst emerging with just enough linear propulsion to land the record on the right side of art rather than riff salad.

Collectively, these changes have made Astriferous even more world-eating than before, further cementing their homeland's death metal scene as one of the most potent around. Atavistic Unraveling awaits those who dare...

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Arcane Demonomania" HERE at Me Saco Un Ojo's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Astriferous' Atavistic Unraveling
1. Carriers of the Curse
2. The Floating Catacombs
3. Dissolution of Eternity
4. Proto Embryo (The Third Tribulation)
5. Arcane Demonomania
6. Mnemonic Phenomena
7. Resonance Cascade
