Recenzja Sepulchral „Beneath the Shroud”

 Sepulchral

„Beneath the Shroud”

Soulseller Rec. 2025

Trzy lata po “From Beyond the Burial Mound”, Hiszpanie wracają z drugą płytą. Wspomniany debiut na tyle mi się podobał, że nie było opcji, bym sobie „Beneath the Shroud” odpuścił. Bo to, że zespół grający tego typu muzykę nie zawiedzie, można było zakładać w ciemno. I nie zawiódł. A wręcz przeciwnie, nagrał materiał, o ile nie lepszy niż na wspomnianej „jedynce”, to przynajmniej tak samo dobry i treściwy. (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja The Apulian Blues Fundation „Traditional Songs About Life, Drath and Rebirth”

 The Apulian Blues Fundation

„Traditional Songs About Life, Drath and Rebirth”

Zann’s Records 2025

Teraz trochę inne klimaty, bo ta włoska, założona w 2015 roku kapela gra nietuzinkową, a wręcz autorską odmianę stoner rocka. Ja osobiście nie spotkałem się z tak ciężką formą tej muzyki i nie będę ukrywał, że jestem pod jej ogromnym wrażeniem. W sumie to aż tak bardzo nie odbiega ona od metalowej wersji tego gatunku, bowiem trochę doomowych naleciałości posiada. (Czytaj dalej...)

Murder Records is honored to announce the second artifact presented by Begravet I Skogen. A nihilistic project born amidst a necrophilic wilderness, where the ashes of the dead and fallen tree branches remain, in a remote, abysmal cave hidden in northern Norway.

The second demo was duly extracted from the misanthropic Nordic solitude, where cold winds blow and snow falls mercilessly during long winter nights, where necrophiliac crows await the merciless death that announces its arrival with the somber melodies of Begravet I Skogen, hidden in funereal nightmares.

Jeszcze jeden numer z nowego NOIRSUAIRE

 


Today, ancient French black metallers Noirsuaire reveal the new track "Fogged by the Leaves of Pestilence." The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album, The Dragging Poison, set for international release on December 26th via Osmose Productions. Hear Noirsuaire's "Fogged by the Leaves of Pestilence" in its entirety HERE at Osmose's official YouTube channel.

Singiel z debiutu BURNING PATH. Płyta w lutym

 

On February 27th, 2026 internationally, Dying Victims Productions will release Burning Path’s highly anticipated debut album, Burning Path, on CD and vinyl LP formats. And today, Deaf Forever magazine's website reveals the new track "Chasing the Future." Hear Burning Path's "Chasing the Future" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Born from tragedy, Burning Path is the continuation of Chile’s beloved heavy metal heroes Lucifer's Hammer. In late December 2024, founding member Andre Adasme, AKA Hades, was murdered by a stranger. His brother Rodrigo, AKA Titan, had a difficult task ahead of him. But eventually, Titan decided to keep Andre’s legacy alive along with longtime guitarist Hypnos, and Burning Path was (re)born. Titan decided to retire the Lucifer's Hammer moniker “because there is no other who can replace my brother's leading role and character, who will forever be the signature of Lucifer's Hammer music.”

Hades may be much missed, but he’d be honored by the Burning Path his former bandmates are on!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Chasing the Future" exclusively HERE, courtesy of Deaf Forever, Germany's defenders of the true. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Recenzja Extinkt „Abandon the Grave”

 Extinkt

„Abandon the Grave”

Defense Rec. 2025

Extinkt, dwa lata po wydaniu “Trinity Redux”, przypominają o sobie za pomocą EP-ki, której tytuł widzicie powyżej. Zawiera ona pięć nowych numerów, dających razem jakiś kwadrans muzyki. Piszę „nowej” w sensie wydawniczym, bo w zasadzie panowie nagrali te piosenki już dwa lata temu, ale z sobie tylko wiadomych powodów trzymali ten materiał w szufladzie.  (Czytaj dalej...)

Recenzja Summoning Hellgates „Spear of Conquest”

 Summoning Hellgates

„Spear of Conquest”

Osmose Productions 2025

Summoning Hellgates pochodzi z Madrytu, gdzie narodził się w 2020 roku i po pięciu latach od swego poczęcia postanowił w końcu przemówić. Zrobił to w dość donośny sposób, bo jego pierwszy głos w postaci tej epki to przejmujący wrzask, a nie jakieś tam kwilenie. Ten hiszpański duet nie bawi się w półśrodki czy też subtelności, ponieważ death-black metal w ich wydaniu, pozostawia trwały ślad na duszy. (Czytaj dalej...)

Nowy numer od HARROWED. Płyta w lutym

 

On February 27th, 2026 internationally, Dying Victims Productions will release Harrowed’s highly anticipated debut album, The Eternal Hunger, on CD and vinyl LP formats. And today, Deaf Forever magazine's website reveals the new track "The Cold of a Thousand Snows." Hear Harrowed's "The Cold of a Thousand Snows" in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Harrowed are a maggot-ridden death metal band from the Stockholm sewers. Rising from the hallowed ashes of Swedish death metal outliers Morbus Chron, the band comes as the creation of vocalist / drummer Adam Lindmark, who has teamed up with guitarist Tobias Alpadie (VAK, ghost department of Tribulation). A demo and subsequent split arrived in 2021 and ’22, respectively, setting forth Harrowed’s harrowing foundation: classic Autopsy, Entombed, Obituary, and Death Strike “funneled through a garbage disposal,” accurately stated Adolf Vondkra of Tones of Decay festival.

The time has now come for Harrowed to make their full-length debut with The Eternal Hunger. Sharper but not without their signature stench, The Eternal Hunger sees the duo offering a more nuanced listening experience – but don’t think for a second they’ve gone soft! Surely, Harrowed have gestated into a twisted mass of putrid filth, incorporating elements of old-school American and Scandinavian death metal, a lethal dose of punk riffage, and mind-bending weirdness (and even some shattered shards of skewed melody, if we’re counting). The songwriting on The Eternal Hunger thusly exhibits more variety both in the micro and macro, with each of these eight tracks possessing the potential to rupture ear drums, crack skulls, and have you plunge head-first while maniacally screaming into the darkened abyss of crushing riffs, doomsday drumming, and nightmarish horrors.... The production on the album is stellar, as Harrowed teamed up with Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, ex-Runemagick) in his Studio Humbucker during the summer of 2025 and created an authentically physical sound that’s clear and concise whilst keeping a vintage raw edge. As such, The Eternal Hunger stays true to the original spirit of death metal without being yet another washed-out-copy of the HM2-sound. The album also features musical guest appearances from Nicke Andersson (Entombed, Death Breath) and Scott Carlson (Repulsion, Death Breath), among others, so you can bet this stuff is the real deal.

With the addition of a live lineup consisting of fellow creeps Dag Landin (ex-Morbus Chron, Tøronto) on bass and Estefan Carrillo (Hazemaze, Morbid Breath) on guitar, the Harrowed lineup is fully armed and diseased — ready to drag their decomposing death metal across stages and into your nightmares. Are you ready to submit to The Eternal Hunger?

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "The Cold of a Thousand Snows" exclusively HERE, courtesy of Deaf Forever, Germany's defenders of the true. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:


Tracklisting for Harrowed's The Eternal Hunger
1. Bayonet
2. The Cold Of A Thousand Snows
3. Ultra-Terrene Phantasmagoria
4. The Haunter
5. Blood Covenant
6. The Reins
7. Formaldehyde Dreaming
8. The Eternal Hunger

Recenzja Epitome „Goodbye My ROT”

 Epitome

„Goodbye My ROT”

Deformeating Prod. 2025

Tak się akurat trafiło, że siedziałem na kanapie, i zastanawiałem się, co by sobie tutaj zapierdolić, żeby było krótko, mocno, i treściwie. I dosłownie chwilę później zapukał listonosz (oczywiście dwa razy), i dostarczył mi najnowsze wydawnictwo z Deformeating Productions, w postaci szóstego krążka Epitome. (Czytaj dalej...)

 Bezdan

„Upon the Altar”

I Hate Records 2025

Bezdan jest kapelą z Chorwacji, gdzie powstała w 2012 roku. Od tamtej pory trochę już nagrali, bo wypuścili demosa, epkę, kompilację i dwa single w wersji kasetowej. Pod koniec listopada ukazał się ich debiutancki album, który kopie nieźle w zadek. Jeśli lubicie stare, dobre lata osiemdziesiąte i wczesne nagrania takich ekip jak Sepultura, Slayer, Bulldozerczy też ówczesną szkołę niemiecką oraz raczkujący Death i Possessed, to „Upon the Altar” jest dla was. (Czytaj dalej...)
