TUMENGGUNG - New Indonesian Heavy Metal Album "Back On The Streets" via Jawbreaker Records - Track Premiere
 Jawbreaker Records proudly announces the sophomore full-length from Indonesia’s premier heavy metal powerhouse TUMENGGUNG!
"Back on the Streets“ is set for release on January 17th 2025 on CD, LP, MC and in digital formats.
The title track has been premiered already here: https://youtu.be/mqyh66grssg
"Back on the Streets" is a collection of everything an 80s metal heart could long for. From headbanging riffs to sing-along choruses, melodic song structures, and pit-opening anthems, TUMENGGUNG delivers with force! They may draw clear inspiration from their 80s metal predecessors, but their unique sound is what truly makes them stand out.
Having started as a quartet back in 2007, TUMENGGUNG has since slimmed down to a power trio, and their upcoming album shows a band that has matured musically. They’ve grown beyond the subgenre they were founded upon, noticeably adding dynamics and delving more into the raw energy of heavy metal, but still embracing their influences while crafting something uniquely their own. "Back on the Streets" showcases the band’s melodic side like never before with guitar leads right out of the 80s metal dream. Its analogue recording style gives the riffs and raw, unpolished vocals an organic, visceral edge. The 9 tracks on the album are bound to surprise you, taking you from soulful melodies to the kind of thrashing speed metal that gets your adrenaline pumping.
Fans of Judas Priest, Riot, and anyone with a love for authentic, unfiltered 80s metal will find TUMENGGUNG’s latest work a journey worth taking.
Tracklist:
1. Wall Breaker
2. Back on the Streets

ENTOMOPHTHORA - New Video Clip - Norwegian Death Metal Debut via Soulseller Records
 Norwegian Death Metallers ENTOMOPHTHORA have unleashed another song from their debut album "Instinctual Disease", set for release on November 22nd 2024 via Soulseller Records on CD, LP and digitally.
Check out the video clip for "The Flames of Chaos" at this location: https://youtu.be/gca000EL10E
"The Flames of Chaos" captures a world unraveling in apocalyptic destruction, where nature violently reclaims itself. The track showcases the band’s blend of blazing riffs, thunderous drums and fiery vocals that will ignite your blackened soul. Smell the stench of decay!
ENTOMOPHTHORA was formed during a conversation about zombie flies in 2022, and consists of Roger Isaksen (vocals, bass, guitar) and Tom Wahl (guitar), both veterans in the Norwegian metal scene. Their earlier and current work includes bands like Vecordious, Nexorum, Maelström, Exeloume, Bethzaida, Killing for Company and Keep of Kalessin. The band's dark form of music is a natural combination of Tom Wahl's old-school death metal approach and Roger Isaksen's more modern extreme metal background. The result is their debut album "Instinctual Diseas", delivering eight tracks of powerful guitars, intense vocals and rapid rhythms. It was engineered and mixed by Roger Isaksen at Xhaos Xhult Studio and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studios.

BEDSORE - Sophomore Album "Dreaming The Strife For Love" via 20 Buck Spin - New Video Clip revealed
 Italy’s BEDSORE have revealed another song from their sophomore full-length "Dreaming The Strife For Love", coming on November 29th 2024 via 20 Buck Spin on LP, CD, tape and in digital formats.
Check out the video clip for "Scars of Light", created by Costin Chioreanu, here: https://youtu.be/yJ2ng_vLb9Q
With the new album, BEDSORE have jumped headfirst into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 1970s. Inspired by the mysterious renaissance-era book ‘Hypnerotomachia Poliphili’, the album musically weaves the concepts of love as a battlefield, where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols.
Lush, symphonic, ambitious and romantic in scope, BEDSORE’s "Dreaming The Strife For Love" is 2024’s most surprising fusion of 70s Progressive and Dark Death Metal, old and new production elements, the passionate and the horrific. Like so many of their Italian brethren from Goblin and Devil Doll, to Death SS and Black Hole, Bedsore both embrace tradition and blow it up simultaneously.
Futhermore, a European tour with label mates FULCI is planned for February 2025 - stay tuned for dates!

Tracklist:
1. Minerva’s Obilesque
2. Scars of Light
3. A Colossus, an Elephant, a Winged Horse, the Dragon Rendezvous

JARL - Melodic Black Metal Album "Trümmerfestung" via Trollzorn Records - Details and Lyric Video revealed
 Open the gates to the world of JARL with their new album "Trümmerfestung", set for release on December 12th 2024 via Trollzorn Records.
The quintet from Northern Germany confronts you with the darker sides of life. Within the crumbling walls, classic black metal riffs and raw extreme metal join forces.
JARL arose from the ashes of various underground bands. Originally founded in 2004 by Blutaxt and Mightyraven as an acoustic side project of Black Unicorn, JARL lay dormant for a long time... Nearly forgotten, the ice was broken in 2016, and the band found new strength. Mightyraven, Natt Kongen and Blutaxt shaped JARL into a black metal act. The open positions were quickly filled by Hrimthur and Aestus. Now, risen from the ashes and forged into a unit, JARL represents melodic German black metal at its finest.

APOSTASIE - Melodic Black Metal Debut Album "Non Est Deus" via Trollzorn Records - New Lyric Video
 German Melodic Black Metallers APOSTASIE have unleashed another song from their upcoming debut album "Non Est Deus", set for release on November 29th 2024 in cooperation with Trollzorn Records.
Check out the lyric video for "Pein, Pest" here: https://youtu.be/5goHg1-fC_c
APOSTASIE play Melodic Black Metal with historical and atheist themes. In their first album "Non Est Deus", they narrate the "Historia Ecclesiastica Perversa" - the madness of dogmas, and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. The album discusses events in the so-called Christian "history of salvation", the Latin-Roman church history, as well as the closely related European history. These events and processes are staged as moments of religious madness, dogmatic contradiction and, at the same time, rational criticism and resistance. The events described cover the period from the so-called "turning point of time", i.e. the birth of Christ, to the so-called Reformation of the Latin-Roman church by Martin Luther.
Tracklist:
1. Intro
2. Non est Deus
3. Theotókos
4. Isapóstolos

ROTPIT - New Album "Long Live The Rot" via War Anthem Records - Lyric Video Premiere
 German/Swedish Deathers ROTPIT have premiered another song from their upcoming sophomore full-length "Long Live The Rot", which will be unleashed on November 29th 2024 through War Anthem Records on CD, LP and digitally. A tape version is coming via Selfmadegod Records.
Check out the lyric video for the album's title track here: https://youtu.be/86pPULalW3Q
With "Long Live The Rot", the trio delivers 10 new tracks which are sicker, more filthy, more ambitious, unique in sound and straight to the bone. So all rotfreaks who already appreciated last year’s highly acclaimed debut "Let There Be Rot" will get an even deadlier injection. Beware of this massive maggot swarm, dissecting everyone and everything!
Main songwriter Jonny Pettersson (Massacre, Wombbath, Berzerker Legion) once again produced the album at Studio Unbound, while the mastering was finished at Nevo Studios in Sundsvall, Sweden. Ralf Hauber (Revel In Flesh, Heads For The Dead, Fetid Zombie, Just Before Dawn) added his mark shocking vocals, filthy lyrics and the overall concept of rot. Vocalwise this is his most brutal sounding contribution to the scene so far. Furthermore the album introduces ROTPIT’s new drummer Erik Barthold, who is well known from Swedish Doomers Left Hand Solution and his participation in the glorious punk band Det Kristet Utseende.

THE GATES OF SLUMBER - New Self-Titled Album via Svart Records - New Track Premiere "Full Moon Fever"
 Indiana’s doom metal behemoths THE GATES OF SLUMBER return with a new album out on November 29th via Svart Records. The upcoming, self-titled album is the band’s first full length offering in thirteen years.
Full Moon Fever is the second single from the album, perfectly timed for the Halloween season. Listen to it here: https://orcd.co/fullmoonfever
"If my memory serves me right, Full Moon Fever was the first song for the new album. The music was written around about when Tom Petty died. And yes, the song is dedicated to him. Not inspired by his music per se, but I was always a big Petty fan and yeah. Figure it out on your own time… The first set of lyrics I did for the song had more of a comical feel to them. More of a Motörhead treatment. A werewolf chasing cars and shit like that. But that’s not the feel I wanted for the song in the end. The band was always meant to be a serious band. But I would be denying the truth if I said that it didn’t have a lot of tongue in cheek. And that wasn’t what we wanted to do with it at all. Part of the fun is playing it straight. So, I reworked the lyrics a few weeks before we actually recorded the album. I have to pat myself on the back. I think the break down is one of the best bits I ever came up with.", comments Karl Simon on the new single.
THE GATES OF SLUMBER was formed by Karl Simon in 1998. Various people were in and out of the group between 1998 and 2001, when the Blood Encrusted Deth Axe demo was recorded with Jamie Walters aka Dr. Phibes/Athenar (Boulder, Midnight) on drums and bass. In 2003 Jason McCash took over the bass duties and was a long-time member of the band until his untimely demise in 2014, after which Simon decided it was time to call it quits. That was until 2019 when the renowned metal festival Hell Over Hammaburg wanted to bring the band back on stage to perform at the festival’s 2020 edition. Simon reformed the band with its original member Chuck Brown on drums and Steve Janiak on bass and got back to work. “We’d been asked several times to play Hell Over Hammaburg. But there was no “we” to play. The germ of the idea started. We started re-learning songs from the first LP. It wasn’t too long into the rehearsals that we started coming up with new songs.”, states Simon.
After a reunion tour was finished, COVID kicked in to slow down the process. Half of the album was already written but the remaining half took its time, and the songs were left to stew in their juices. With bastard heavy songs honoring the Doom Metal greats Saint Vitus and Penance, straight forward bangers, lyrics inspired by the Black Death and John Carpenter’s The Fog, "The Gates of Slumber" is a truly crushing album and a must listen to any Doom Metal fanatic.
Having toured with Pentagram, Reverend Bizarre, Cathedral, Slough Feg, Earthride, and Weedeater in addition to getting a praise from Decibel Magazine “THE GATES OF SLUMBER have quietly gone about the business of becoming one of the best heavy metal bands in the world.”, it’s safe to say The Gates of Slumber play some of the heaviest metal on this planet.
