Band:OLD MAN GLOOM
Album:LIGHT OF MEANING
Label:PROFOUND LORE RECORDS
Format:LP
Genre:HARDCORE/EXPERIMENTAL
The new OLD MAN GLOOM album Light Of Meaning (aka Seminar VIII) sees the notorious experimental super-group forge on their legacy after a slight suspension in uncertainty following the passing of bassist/vocalist Caleb Scofield. It was decided that the remaining members Aaron Turner (Sumac/Isis), Nate Newton (Converge), and drummer Santos Montano would continue to forge on with OLD MAN GLOOM and would bring in Scofield s former Cave In bandmate, Stephen Brodsky, to take Caleb s place amongst the pulse. Light Of Meaning continues OLD MAN GLOOM s shenanigans following their Ape Of God albums (the albums where the band trolled everyone by releasing two different albums with the same album title amongst bewilderment, amusement, and outrage from people on the internet). Through monolithic sonic tapestries sewn throughout, Light Of Meaning blossoms as a moving tribute to Scofield where the band have even incorporated material that Scofield had laid down previously for new OMG music. Light Of Meaning , which was recorded and mixed by three acclaimed heavy music producers, namely Matt Bayles, Kurt Ballou, and Randall Dunn, is another towering OLD MAN GLOOM masterwork through earth crumbling riffs, post-hardcore brutality, sprawling noise transmissions, experimental ambient sonic subdivisions and epic impenetrable melancholy. - The return of the most notorious heavy music supergroup sees OLD MAN GLOOM continue in the wake of the tragic passing of former bassist/vocalist Caleb Scofield with their new album Light Of Meaning (aka Seminar VIII). - Taking over Scofield s mantle in OLD MAN GLOOM is none other than Caleb s old Cave In bandmate Stephen Brodsky (also of Mutoid Man) who now joins guitarist/vocalist Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis), Nate Newton (Converge), and drummer Santos Montano. - Light Of Meaning features work from three acclaimed producers who were involved in the recording and mixing in some form or another: Matt Bayles, Kurt Ballou, and Randall Dunn. TRACK LISTING: 1. EMF, 2. Wrath Of The Weary, 3. True Volcano, 4. Final Defeat, 5. Calling You Home, 6. By Love All Is Healed

Band:OLD TOWER
Album:THE LAST EIDOLON
Label:PROFOUND LORE RECORDS
Format:2LP
Genre:DARK AMBIENT
The third album by the enigmatic Old Tower, The Last Eidolon, tells a somber story of a kingdom laid to waste by it's own creator through the corruption of dark magic and possession of destructive spirits. Because of wrongful decisions, spiritual rebellion and the misuse of ancient yet dangerous practices these malevolent forces started to turn against the enchanter. And so fell his once proud and powerful dominion. What was once great has now been reduced to a hollow manifestation of it's old self. The long and weary process of reclaiming it's former glory has begun.Throughout the "Grim Alchemy" trilogy, smithed in conspiracy with the mighty Hospital Productions, The Specter meticulously crafted his own style of medieval dark ambient. The Last Eidolon is an elongation but also a new direction of this concept and will take the listener on a desolate journey spanning three, long chapters. Faded memories of a dark past will shimmer in and out of existence throughout these epic compositions yet the energy of renewal is flowing from the fountains of the old kingdom.Profound Lore is proud to present the album on this earthly plane in two different editions. The Last Eidolon will come on luxurious double vinyl and compact disc formats and comes with extensive artwork, all richly illustrated and curated by The Specter himself. To get the full effect, these spells they were mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk.

Band:LINGUA IGNOTA
Album:CALIGULA (LIMITED WHITE VINYL)
Label:PROFOUND LORE RECORDS
Format:2LP
Genre:Industrial / Experimental
CALIGULA , the new album from LINGUA IGNOTA set for release on July 19th on CD/2xLP/Digital through Profound Lore Records, takes the vision of Kristin Hayter s vessel to a new level of grandeur, her purging and vengeful audial vision going beyond anything preceding it and reaching a new unparalleled sonic plane within her oeuvre. Succeeding her self-released 2017 All Bitches Die opus (re-released by Profound Lore Records in 2018), CALIGULA sees Hayter design her most ambitious work to date, displaying the full force of her talent as a vocalist, composer, and storyteller. Vast in scope and multivalent in its influences, with delivery nothing short of demonic, CALIGULA is an outsider s opera; magnificent, hideous, and raw. Eschewing and disavowing genre altogether, Hayter builds her own world. Here she fully embodies the moniker Lingua Ignota, from the German mystic Hildegard of Bingen, meaning unknown language this music has no home, any precedent or comparison could only be uneasily given, and there is nothing else like it in our contemporary realm. LINGUA IGNOTA has always taken a radical, unflinching approach to themes of violence and vengeance, and CALIGULA builds on the transformation of the survivor at the core of this narrative. CALIGULA embraces the darkness that closes in, sharpens itself with the cruelty it has been subjected to, betrays as it has been betrayed. It is wrath unleashed, scathing, a caustic blood-letting: Let them hate me so long as they fear me, Hayter snarls in a voice that ricochets from chilling raw power to agonizing vulnerability. Whilst CALIGULA is unapologetically personal and critically self-aware, there are broader themes explored; the decadence, corruption, depravity and senseless violence of emperor Caligula is well documented and yet still permeates today. Brimming with references and sly jabs, Hayter s sardonic commentary on abuse of power and invalidation is deftly woven. Working closely with Seth Manchester at Machines With Magnets studio in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Hayter strips away much of the industrial and electronic elements of her previous work, approaching instead the corporeal intensity and intimate menace of her notorious live performances, achieved with unconventional recording techniques and sound sources, as well as a full arsenal of live instrumentation and collaborators including harsh noise master Sam McKinlay (THE RITA), visceral drummer Lee Buford (The Body) and frenetic percussionist Ted Byrnes (Cackle Car, Wood & Metal), with guest vocals from Dylan Walker (Full of Hell), Mike Berdan (Uniform), and Noraa Kaplan (Visibilities). CALIGULA is a massive work, a multi-layered epic that gives voice and space to that which has been silenced and cut out. TRACK LISTING: 1. FAITHFUL SERVANT FRIEND OF CHRIST, 2. DO YOU DOUBT ME TRAITOR , 3. BUTCHER OF THE WORLD, 4. MAY FAILURE BE YOUR NOOSE, 5. FRAGRANT IS MY MANY FLOWER D CROWN, 6. IF THE POISON WON T TAKE YOU MY DOGS WILL, 7. DAY OF TEARS AND MOURNING, 8. SORROW! SORROW! SORROW!. 9. SPITE ALONE HOLDS ME ALOFT, 10. FUCKING DEATHDEALER,11. I AM THE BEAST

Band:BLAZE OF SORROW
Album:ABSENTIA
Label:Eisenwald
Format:CDD
Genre:ATMOSPHERIC BLACK METAL/POST METAL
Since 2007, BLAZE OF SORROW have been a veritable institution of Italian black metal, a scene and style too long overlooked. BLAZE OF SORROW both embody and defy the Italian idiom: medieval in its melancholy, nearly "romantic" in the literary sense of the word, but always revealing (and expanding upon) new shapes that keep their aesthetic surprising and ever singular. And that canon keeps growing through the years, with each new release a poignant piece in BLAZE OF SORROW's breathtaking mosaic. Now, with new guitarist A.S. and bassist V. joining the fold, BLAZE OF SORROW are set to release their most fully realized work to date: Absentia. Comprising seven songs in a taut 'n' tight 44 minutes, Absentia bursts into being with a brilliance that's blanching to behold. Undeniably emotional as ever, it's immediately apparent, however, that BLAZE OF SORROW are operating on a different wavelength on Absentia. Their windswept, cascading black metal is undoubtedly melancholic at heart - their moniker was well chosen, after all - but the range of textures and sensations across this sixth album encompass a far broader spectrum than most usually associated with "black metal." Laced within the deepest heart of Absentia is an aching nostalgia, a bittersweet wistfulness, and even rays of hope: doomed they may be, but delivered with an indeed-blazing passion that puts BLAZE OF SORROW into a rarefied field. Which is to say nothing of the utterly cathartic lead work here, buttressed by frequent detours into plaintive acoustic territory; shredded and shredding, these leads are immediately memorable and long-lasting, well after the final notes of Absentia have rung out across the soul... Put more directly, BLAZE OF SORROW aptly describe their inspirations as thus: "Day, Night, Darkness, Light. With music, we try to reach the highest peak of our feelings playing what we we're supposed to play. Our notes are captured from sadness, nature s beauty, water, fire, earth and wind. Let the shades embrace you thoughts, let the abyss caress your soul. We re what we are: a fire s breath in the infinity of the Sun." Behold the full glory of BLAZE OF SORROW and submerge thyself into total Absentia! TRACKLIST 1. Settimo requiem 2. Furia 3. Sonno d'eterno 4. Notturna 5. Hybris 6. Cupio dissolvi 7. Morte di un immortale

Band:ASHTAR
Album:KAIKUJA
Label:Eisenwald
Format:CD
Genre:DOOM METAL/BLACK METAL/STONER/SLUDGE
ASHTAR are a duo from Basel consisting of Nadine and Marko Lehtinen. In 2014 ASHTAR recorded their debut album, Ilmasaari, with Mäthe Imboden at the OSA Crypt Studio in Greifensee, Switzerland, with mixing handled by Esoteric s Greg Chandler in his Priory Recording Studio in Birmingham, UK. A year later the album saw release on multiple formats via multiple labels: CD by Czar of Crickets, vinyl by Throne Records, cassette by Antiq. Following its release Ilmasaari received excellent reviews worldwide, with special recognition coming from Tom Gabriel Fischer (Celtic Frost/Triptykon) in the German Deaf Forever magazine, where he listed the album in his personal top 10 for 2015. During the interim ASHTAR took to the stage, playing across Germany, Holland, France, Belgium, Austria and their home of Switzerland with appearances at such esteemed festivals as Under the Black Sun and Doom Over Vienna, underlining their crossover appeal to listeners of both black metal and doom and extreme metal enthusiasts in general. With that momentum patiently building, ASHTAR entered the studio at Helium Records in Basel with Ramon Vaca and began work on their second album during the summer of 2019. Bearing the title Kaikuja, it has at last arrived and eclipses the mountainous, miasmic might of their debut. Translated from Finnish as Echoes, Kaikuja is aptly titled, for its dense-yet-spacious soundwalls bear a rich n reverberating strength. Trace elements of black metal and doom exist once again, but are further spliced with the DNA of drone, sludge, and even post-rock, making for a heady (and HEAVY) brew that s seemingly served up with ease by ASHTAR. And even more so than the debut, for a band that s merely a duo, these five epic-length songs emit an almost-impossible density, bewitchingly revealing new layers with each listen. And at nearly 40 minutes, the landscape ASHTAR paint here is far more vast than that compact runtime suggests. TRACKLIST 1. Aeolus 2. Between Furious Clouds 3. Bloodstones 4. The Closing 5.

Band:FLEURY WITH NICOLAS REPAC
Album:FLEURY
Label:JARRING EFFECTS
Format:CDD
Genre:RAP
A recording halfway between a music album and an audio documentary, between Rap, French song and Poetry ...a free speech exiting the walls of Fleury Mérogis jail in Paris. It all started between the high walls of the Fleury Mérogis prison when Romain Lefrançois aka SOLLEX, a committed Singer & Songwriter and Nëggus, a Rap & Slam artist, set out to organize writing workshops. The goal: to impulse a dozen French speaking prisoners of all origins by creating personal texts and with the purpose to set it into music. Questioned by the dimensions at the same time, human, social, political and artistic of the project, the composer Nicolas Repac agreed to be the musical architect of this collective choir. Known in particular for his long-term collaboration with Arthur H, he has a unique talent for singing and grooving machines. With a sound staging designed and manufactured in this context like no other, by these artists like no other Promptly it became obvious to take into consideration each individual uniqueness, with his strengths and weaknesses, his qualities and his defects, his limits, his inhibitions, his sufferings and his neuroses without forgetting the richness of their life experiences. One expression at a time spontaneous and authentic. Very early, music came integrate into the development systems of this project to express its intimacy and its inscription in the world. On arrival the eleven tracks describe a series of portraits of an absolute oddity. Bringing together themes as essentials as loneliness, identity development, uprooting pain, the impact of father absence, social humiliation, love and sexual deprivation. But also, childhood nostalgia and the dream of accomplishment and success (in particular via sport ). This album is an authentic achievement allowing these suffering and drifting souls to experience the vital life force and lifesaving of the liberated poetic speech.

Band:ZOLLE
Album:MACELLO
Label:Subsound Records
Format:LP
Genre:HEAVY ROCK
Rip-roaring riffs and powerful drums are floating among seedy jokes; "serious" is a word that ZOLLE don't want to know. Torche's loudness meet AC/DC's crazy stadium atmosphere in a vegetables free record! In an appealing crazy way, ZOLLE drive their very own noise hard-rock into a "Torche meet AC/DC" corner. Their unique imagery perfectly matches their no limit motto that always comes with powerful drums and mad guitars. In this contemporary, complex and indefinite, spare plates affirm the essential, appearing as furrows of land of the plain from which they come. Being broken, turned, crushed, chopped. Scents and smells merge into a single mass of sound: ZOLLE. The fourth record of the Italian noise hard rockers ZOLLE, 'Macello', symbolizes the human condition of living in ambivalence, contradiction and paradox. It's certainly a convivial record, but it's also a bit poisoned. 'Macello' was born in the rehearsal room between Stefano (drums and vocals) and Marcello (guitar and vocals), and distinguishes itself from albums conceived in function of a premeditated and probably written destiny. 'Macello' is meat, not plastic. In the album we find authenticity, with a real, direct and analogical performance on tape, with overdubs reduced to the bone, so that the listener can perceive himself in the dimension of Zolle's concert, vibrating with energy. 'Macello' was recorded and mixed in August 2019 by Giulio Ragno Favero at Sotto il Mare Recording Studios in Madonna dell'Uva Secca (Verona, Italy) and mastered by Giovanni Versari. Cover Artwork by Berlikete and Eeviac. The record is coming out on April 3rd via Subsound Records.

Album:PALIMPSESTE
Label:cyclic law
Format:CD
Genre:EXPERIMENTAL/AMBIENT
Recorded in various undisclosed caves and secret locations within the French Pyrenean landscape, we are now witness to a very unique channelling of forces emanating from these two singular ritual acts. In textual studies, a “Palimpsest” is writing material, such as a parchment or tablet, used one or more times after earlier writings have been erased from it. It can also be regarded as something having usually diverse layers or aspects apparent beneath the surface. The conductive element within these recordings is water, sound sources recorded from cave lakes, streams and rivers are featured through out these recordings, carefully merged with stark, cavernous drone soundscapes and disquieting chants, guiding us to unknown territories as we venture within these singular chambers and places. The whole transpires as an hymn to the power of water, to cleanse and purify, and even destroy all it touches. Edition of 500 copies in A5 Matt Laminated Digisleeve. 5 Tracks. Running Time 46:51

Band:GOATBLOOD
Album:APPARITION OF DOOMSDAY
Label:DUNKELHEIT
Format:CD
Genre:DEATH/BLACK METAL
For the eight years now, this chains- and bullet-bedecked power-duo have been polluting the metal underground with their belligerent brand of bestial black/death. A handful of demos as well as a split were vomited forth before GOATBLOOD's momentous debut album, Adoration of Blasphemy and War, in 2015. Ever aptly titled, Adoration of Blasphemy and War soundly put the German band on the international map, and proved that new, gnarly twists can be made to the rigorous bestial metal template. A couple more splits ensued before GOATBLOOD released their critically acclaimed second album, Veneration of Armageddon, in 2016, once again through DUNKELHEIT. With momentum building to a fever pitch, the band kept a prolific pace with 2017's Gasmask Devastation Terror demo - the title itself best encapsulating the GOATBLOOD experience, perhaps - as well as the Arma Inferre EP in 2018. Not ones to rest on their by-now-considerable laurels, GOATBLOOD are back with LP#3, Apparition of Doomsday. Ever aptly titled, Apparition of Doomsday is indeed a more pronounceably doomed-out face of these Teutonic beasts, but one no less frightening. Whereas GOATBLOOD's previous two full-lengths kept to a many-tracks/short-length schematic - in essence, nodding to nascent grindcore like early Blood, Extreme Noise Terror, and Doom as they do to bestial progenitors Blasphemy and Beherit - here on Apparition of Doomsday do the duo blackgrind with the best of them, but often (and DEVASTATINGLY) downshift into righteously crushing 'n' hypnotic moments most Archgoated.

Band:SCATMOTHER
Album:SADOTANTRA
Label:DUNKELHEIT
Format:CD
Genre:POWER ELECTRONICS/NOISE/INDUSTRIAL
Noble Jewelcase Edition with 8-Page Booklet
The recently released „Sacrificial Rites Of Devotion“ split with Chaos Cascade revealed a creepier, more mid-paced side of Power Electronics, „Sadotantra“offers a more violent & aggressive side of Scatmother- yet dark as always. Sharp in sound as „Beyond“ of Hijokaidan, but one can also find brutality similar to Massona or Grunt and above all a sound of it's own identity. There is subtle textures, rich in detail. The album will blossom best if you raise the volume until it hurts. „Brahma Shakti“ is a landmark & explains well what the album is about- ideas. The songs melt various ideas into one & takes less time as many other Power Electronic bands do. It's like an attack with a drill towards your head that will give you more than half an hour of discomfort. All songs by Scatmother. Recorded between 2017-2019 by Scatmother. Cover Art & Layout by BrianVDP. All tracks mastered at Studio Hel in August, 2019.
Executive Production by Dunkelheit Produktionen, Germany. 2019.

Band:BRAHMASTRIKA
Album:EXCARNASTRIAL COMMENCINATION
Label:DUNKELHEIT
Format:CD
Genre:DEATH METAL/NOISE
Brahmastrika was conceived through revelations on the ancient shamshan grounds of Kalikshetra, adi-karmic yantraniti was bestowed on our vessels of flesh to reveal the secrets of the sanatana yudhakarma, through nuclear metal of ultimate death, that has led to the Excarnastrial Commencination demo. Cosmic entrapments of Adi-kalpic proportions have been initiated. Paramanobik annihilation rituals are sharpened though bijamantras. Imminent end of cyclic adharma will be executed Without Any Warning! By now India is the source of some of the most unworldly combination of sunken magic, ancient knowledge, and bloodsoaked rituals imaginable. All this is transferred into indescribable, deadly Death/Black Metal: Oribiting around the likes of TETRAGRAMMACIDE and KAPALA the extremists named BRAHMASTRIKA (hailing from Kolkata) fire their bestial Warnoise of the most inhuman kind into the unsuspecting world.

Band:HORRID
Album:AS WE FORGET OUR PAST
Label:DUNKELHEIT
Format:CD
Genre:Death Metal
Italy's longest-running death metal band, HORRID have built an enviously dependable, unyielding body of work since 1989. Starting with more primitive influences but soon moving on to those of early Entombed and Dismember, the band spent the 1990s solidifying their sound over a clutch of demos and EPs. Eventually, come 2002, their debut album manifested itself as Reborn in Sin. From there, the name HORRID has continued to stand for the timeless upholding of classic death metal values. Now, after two brandnew albums for DUNKELHEIT - 2014's Sacrilegious Fornication and 2017's Beyond the Dark Border, each one as critically acclaimed as the last - once again do HORRID align with DUNKELHEIT for a special anniversary record. Fittingly titled As We Forget Our Past, the 10-song/53 album features a slew of "greatest hits" re-recorded with HORRID's lineup that's been firm since 2015. As such, these ten tracks together form a sort of symbiosis with the preceding Beyond the Dark Border, given the massive crunch & crush of that career highpoint.

Band:COSMIC PUTREFACTION
Album:THE HORIZON TOWARDS WHICH SPLENDOUR WITHERS
Label:I, VOIDHANGER RECORDS
Format:CDD
Genre:Death Metal
Having already proved his eclectic and multifaceted musical skills with projects like THE CLEARING PATH and SUMMIT, in 2019 the Italian composer G.G. brought to the world his most aggressive side, conveyed into the sonic grooves of COSMIC PUTREFACTION’s relentless debut album, “At The Threshold Of The Greatest Chasm”, a work mainly rooted in death metal and its most primitive, fast paced and old school facets. With the band's sophomore album, G.G. adds to that formula some of the progressive and esoteric aspects that characterized his other projects, but without sacrificing an ounce of the most nihilistic and vicious traits of COSMIC PUTREFACTION. “The Horizons Towards which Splendour Withers” is a metal epic which conducts the listeners through otherworldly decaying landscapes, agoraphobic wastelands and desolate cosmic sceneries thanks to monstrous dissonant riffs, convulsing rhythms, and spiteful growls and shrieks. The band explores the whole panorama of extreme music and metal idioms incorporating the most diverse influences: from death metal to grind and doom metal, passing through atmospheric and progressive black metal, also treating itself with a fascinating, apocalyptic symphonic interlude that adds an avant-garde touch to the album's closing number.

ESOCTRILIHUM's young sole member, Asthâghul has injected new lifeblood in his creature by exalting the symphonic and mystical aura of the compositions with infectious violins, piano and synths, skilfully blended with scorching guitars and hallucinatory melodies of cosmic proportions, often overflowing into raging melancholy.

After several demo tapes, 7” and splits released between 2006 and 2012, the band edits their first fulllength entitled TESTIMONY OF THE ABOMINABLE, finding a respected place in the global underground scene.Two more full-lengths, SVMMA FIDE and VACVVM, confirmed Balmog as one of the most devoted Black Metal acts in the European scence.

Band:HENRY KANE (SWEDEN)
Album:AGE OF THE IDIOT
Label:TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY
Format:CDD
Genre:Death Metal
The raging grind/crust/death metal monster HENRY KANE is back with an album just as sonically ferocious as before but also mature. The debut album was hailed as one of the heaviest albums ever recorded and this time Jonny Pettersson of WOMBBATH, HEADS FOR THE HEAD, NATTRAVNEN fame, joined by a slew of new members, proves that there's more to this band's music than just an intimidating wall of sound banging against you repeatedly. 'Age of the Idiot' is one of the most anticipated albums in the style which fits snugly alongside similarminded labelmates in MEDIUM, GOREGANG, and BONES. The album is remarkably varied without compromising on the viciousness, even incorporating an atmosphere of ominous doom laden with shades of melancholy. It is an album that is a reflection of the current mindset that is responsible for the deplorable acts of people around the world fuelled by misuse of technology. This is the perfect soundtrack to celebrate our rapid descension into self-induced apocalypse

Band:NOCTU (ITALY)
Album:GELIDAE MORTIS IMAGO
Label:TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY
Format:CDD
Genre:DOOM METAL/BLACK METAL/STONER/SLUDGE
Noctu plays haunting, atmospheric blackened doom metal that infects the soul, eviscerates it and leaves it hollow, bereft of the abundance of feelings that once invaded it. This is an unexpectedly sharp, incisive, singular and ultimately extremely effective form of expression, imbued with a deep, harrowing tone that has the power to incapacitate one's thoughts and rendering the person helpless to its introspective melancholy. Never before has the music of this kind shown such clarity and purpose without degenerating into incontinent lapses of urgency. This is stoic, consistent and stately doom with magical convincing power; the impact is profound and lasting. This perhaps epitomizes the funeral doom sound but has added atmosphere and bleakness to keep it relegated to just that. A measured, patient listen is sure to move the listener and those with physical copies of this release will even catch a whiff of the fragrance of flowers showered upon tombs from it.

Band:XPUS (ITALY)
Album:IN UMBRA MORTIS SEDENT
Label:TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY
Format:CDD
Genre:Death Metal
XPUS from Italy are invoking the ghosts of the dark and harrowing bands that surfaced in the '90s such as MORBID ANGEL, DEICIDE, INCANTATION and SINISTER, but obviously channeling it through their intensified, dense sound that makes it somewhat unique and frightening. There's palpable dark energy in this band's execution and none of it is blurred from chaos, rather it's brilliantly enunciated and fleshed out for maximum impact. With artwork from the acclaimed artist Misanthropic Art bringing to life their cryptic, graveyard-crawling death metal, the packaging furthermore receives a shot in the arm because of the unique and probably never before done before glow-in-the-dark effect. This is pummelling, dark death metal that doesn't nod off and makes sure its grip on you keeps tightening.

Band:DEATH COURIER (GREECE)
Album:NECROTIC VERSES
Label:TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY
Format:CDD
Genre:Death Metal
Legendary death metal band Death Courier are one of the earliest bands from the Greek metal scene releasing a slew of demos from way back in 1987 and putting out an album and an EP in the early '90s. More than three decades later, the band is on the verge of releasing one of the strongest albums to come from the Greek death metal scene. It's hard to believe that this is the same band because the energy level is off the charts and everything has been amped up to match present day standards without of course changing the core sound and integrity. The music is still essentially the pulsating, rabid death/thrash metal kind and there remains that palpable hunger in the members to create memorable and gnarly music that they were known for. This is a lethal new album that throws down the gauntlet to the naysayers doubting the band's prowess after so many years, who will invariably be forced to eat their words. 'Necrotic Verses' will grab you by the throat and won't let go till the shockingly potent album is over. Death Courier have set new standards for themselves and others to look up to, all over again

Band:HRAUN
Album:BLACK MOLTEN ESSENCE
Label:FDA RECORDS
Format:CD
Genre:BLACK/DEATH/GOTHIC METAL
Hraun channels the essence of 90s goth without its usual pathos, early doom death and black metal into something peculiarly unique. The two Germans’ debut full-length is special not only due to its crossover potential but also because it demonstrates traditional songwriting at its best, irrespective of genre. Fittingly, the duo tackles a broad thematic spectrum in their lyrics, ranging from extreme everyday situations to psychological scenarios. Whether addressing supernatural powers like in the opening video track ‘Occult Blood’ or insurmountable pain as in ‘Take Back The Light’, which harks back to My Dying Bride’s violin elegies: “Black Molten Essence” is both what the title suggests and much, much more.

Genre:HARDCORE PUNK/NOISE ROCK/POST HARDCORE
Kevlar Bikini strikes back with their fourth album meaningfully named "OPT-OUTism".

The band sounds vital, relevant, highly energetic throughout the entire album without any intention to decrease the intensity and slow down. We are talking about the band who did this whole social distancing and self-isolation thing long before it was cool. As a result, they have a new album "OPT-OUTism", which provides sheer sonic aggression separated in ten high-octane compositions, loaded with threatening vocals, massive riffs, catchy basslines and a badass drumming performance that will certainly shake your entire body.

Band:FORGIVE
Album:MIRRORS
Label:KROD RECORDS
Format:LP
Genre:METAL/HARDCORE
Creating friendship between long time buddies, Forgive expresses Hardcore at its purest and most melodic. Viscerally rock riffs that are intertwined with rage and the authenticity of punk-hardcore. Somewhat distinct horizons, which have produced an album that is rich and faithful to its origins. The band arrives with their first LP, subtle and respectful of the energy they share live. Mirrors deals with complex relationships inside and outside the family as seen through the eyes of fictional characters. With a rather introspective start to the album, as the songs go on, we tend to get a more global view of the society we live in.

Band:TOCACAKE
Album:ENFERMES
Label:M & O MUSIC
Format:CD
Genre:ROCK METAL FUSION
A staccato of words which strike our consciences, a surge of furious notes come to shake our habits our tranquility. You who pass TocaCake, push the door of his first album "locked up". Recorded and mixed by Frédéric DUQUESNE, this album, sonic missile, is intended to shake the walls and heat the cervical muscles. Here the guitars stand out without ever covering the urgency of putting words on evils of our society. With a raised fist and clenched teeth, TocaCake carries with it the soil of universal revolt. With its metal fusion rock that makes the nape of the neck crack, the quartet breaks these chains that hold us in our apathy and with the reinforcement of notes that snap at bad weather, invites us to realize that a new era can open before us, it just takes a little, a little click, a simple step to the side to change everything, to open without remaining locked in this system.
