NEOLITH – New Track Premiere – Sixth Album "Inbir" out in September 2026 via Deformeathing Production
 Polish Death/Black Metallers NEOLITH have unleashed another song from their new album "Inbir", coming on September 12th 2026 via Deformeathing Production on LP, CD and digital formats.
The track "Modlitwa na Marny Czas" has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/QGWJVFHb1-4
Vocalist Levi comments: "'Modlitwa na Marny Czas' (eng. 'A Prayer for a Miserable Time') is a special track for me for a number of reasons. Above all, it is the first song in the Neolith’s more than thirty-five-year history to be written and performed entirely in Polish. I had long intended to tackle my native language, but it wasn't until I saw the lyrics prepared by Jacko S. that I realized the right moment had come. Although at first glance it might seem to depart from the Sumerian themes of Inbir, the song actually carries a universal message. It speaks of the first man - his pride and his age-old tendency to justify his own sins. Adam thus stands as a representative of all humanity, yet also as the cursed "bearer" of all human vileness. Hence, the wretched fate that befell both him and his work over and over again. For me, this track represents another fulfilled dream and proof that, even after so many years, Neolith is still capable of pushing its own boundaries. Whether 'Modlitwa na Marny Czas' will prove to be one of the most significant tracks in our catalogue, I leave for you to judge."
Nearly seven years after the release of "I Am the Way", NEOLITH return with their sixth full-length. It is the band's most ambitious, complex, and polished work to date, representing a clear step forward in both compositional and sonic terms.
The title "Inbir" meaning "war" in the ancient Sumerian language, defines the album's thematic direction. The material explores universal themes related to power, mystery, spirituality, and the fate of man. Musically, NEOLITH remain true to their roots, which aptly reflects the nature of this album - intense, dark, and consciously rooted in the aesthetics of old-school death/black metal.
Produced by NEOLITH and Haldor Grunberg / Satanic Audio Studio. The graphic design was created by the renowned Polish artist Artur Szolc.

MØRKGRIM – Debut Album in October 2026 via Soulseller Records – Track Premiere
 Norwegian/Swedish entity MØRKGRIM have revealed a first track from their upcoming debut album, entitled "Sǫgur frá Norðfirði", set for release on October 2nd 2026 via Soulseller Records.
You can listen to "Garm" at this location: https://youtu.be/UgioAkOcZ9Q
Forged in isolation and rooted in the spirit of the early 90s, MØRKGRIM is Black Metal returned to its source with a blend of raw oldschool aggression and immersive acoustic folk/norse elements.
MØRKGRIM was founded in 1994 by Hrafngrímnir as a one-man Black Metal project during the golden years of the genre. Several songs were written in the early days, but never recorded, as Hrafngrímnir was active in other Black Metal bands at the time.
Decades later, Hrafngrímnir decided to awaken MØRKGRIM, but only if it could be done with the right spirit. He moved to a remote farm, far from modern comfort, where he still lives without ordinary modern utilities such as a flushing toilet or municipal water. There, surrounded by raw nature, silence and isolation, the first MØRKGRIM album was written and recorded. It is a tribute to raw nature, the old gods, ancient Norse magick, and the Old Ways, not as image, but as a way of life.
In 2023, Nils “Dominator” Fjellström joined MØRKGRIM on drums.

REVEL IN FLESH – New Track Premiere – New Album "Flesh For The Kult Of Death" in September 2026 via War Anthem Records
 REVEL IN FLESH have unleashed another track from their new full-length album "Flesh For The Kult Of Death", scheduled for September 18th 2026 via War Anthem Records.
"Priest Of Flesh" is REVEL IN FLESH's homage dedicated to the Gods of British Steel, Judas Priest! Check it out here: https://youtu.be/4xgiCgOpfng
With "Flesh For The Kult Of Death", which introduces the band's revamped line-up, REVEL IN FLESH open a new chapter - one that simultaneously marks an uncompromising return to their roots. Moving beyond their recent releases, the band refocuses on the very essence that defined them from the start: dark, riff-driven Death Metal deeply rooted in the classic Swedish sound.
Inspired by the spirit of early albums like "Manifested Darkness" and "Death Kult Legions", "Flesh For The Kult Of Death" unleashes a massive blend of chainsaw guitars, morbid melodies and a sinister atmosphere that captivates the listener from the first note to the last. Yet, the band achieves far more than a mere nostalgic look back - REVEL IN FLESH combine the raw energy of their early days with the experience and songwriting skills of a band that has matured over the years.
Thematically, the album once again delves into the dark realms of death, cults and decay, underscoring the band’s uncompromising commitment to carrying the torch of classic Death Metal with authenticity and passion.
With "Flesh For The Kult Of Death", REVEL IN FLESH deliver their most steadfast declaration of devotion to traditional Death Metal to date - raw, dark, anthemic and brimming with unbridled energy. For fans of the band’s early era and devotees of classic Swedish Death Metal alike, this album represents a triumphant return to the darkness from which REVEL IN FLESH originally emerged.
The Cult Lives. Death Reigns. Flesh Prevails.

AENIGMATUM – Third Album "Infinitude’s Passage" via 20 Buck Spin – Full Album Stream
 Portland’s death metal seers AENIGMATUM have premiered their new album "Infinitude’s Passage" via 20 Buck Spin – it is out and available now digitally, followed by a CD/LP release on September 4th 2026.
You can listen to "Infinitude’s Passage" in its entirety here: https://youtu.be/S0nDnmfXuro| https://20buckspin.bandcamp.com/album/infinitudes-passage
"Infinitude’s Passage" marks the third full length statement from AENIGMATUM. Taking the intricate mastery of previous album "Deconsecrate" as a point of departure, the band’s union of technical precision, dark melody and unrelenting force draw us ever further into a world where revelation and annihilation become indistinguishable.
Sudden turns, fractured rhythms and spiraling harmonies color a landscape of seemingly elaborate complexity, yet AENIGMATUM are serving a larger, deeper structure with an exacting sense of purpose and focus. Frenetic eruptions of speed give way to passages of melodious clarity and dissonant turbulence allowing the compositions to remain in constant motion and expand idiosyncratically upward and outward.
Cerebral without sacrificing physical impact, majestic without surrendering menace and progressive without loosening its vigorous command, ‘Infinitude’s Passage’ rejects easy categorization within Death Metal’s exceedingly vast parameters. Its visceral impact, incandescent melody and aura of perpetual discovery places AENIGMATUM at the threshold of the boundless.
Mixed and mastered by Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts). Artwork by Daniel Hermosilla @nox_fragor_artworks.
Tracklist:
1. Pitiless Mechanism
2. Inseverable
3. Architects Of The Fated
4. A Tarnished Nexus
5. Nocturne Of Ageless Reverie

IRONFLAME – New Video Clip – Sixth Album "Worlds To Conquer" out soon via High Roller Records
 Heavy Metallers IRONFLAME have premiered another song from their upcoming new album "Worlds To Conquer", out on August 14th 2026 via High Roller Records.
A video clip for the track "Dynasties Fall" is available here: https://youtu.be/B1lAzdHVtA0
Since the 1980s, Cleveland has always been a fertile breeding ground for great heavy metal music. Ohio-based Andrew Della Cagna continues this tradition in true style. Over the past years, the multi-instrumentalist has been active in more than half a dozen bands, among them Brimstone Coven and Icarus Witch. His main priority, however, is his own project IRONFLAME, for which he writes the music, lyrics, handles all the instruments and sings. Originally formed in 2016, IRONFLAME have released five full-length records to great critical acclaim and outstanding fan reactions.
Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Della Cagna comments: "Like all IRONFLAME albums, 'Worlds To Conquer' was recorded at my modest home studio in Ohio. The music was recorded in 2023, the lyrics in 2024 and the solos in 2025. As usual, I performed all the music and vocals myself. My live guitarists, Quinn and Jesse, composed and recorded their own guitar solos. I also handled the mixing and mastering process myself this time."
Tracklist:
1. Night Closes In
2. Legion of Fire >>> Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/f7bo9SZOcDo
3. Dynasties Fall
4. Where Cauldrons Burn

TEMPLE OF DREAD – New Track Premiere – Sixth Album "Dreadspawn Dominion" out soon via Testimony Records
 German Death Metallers TEMPLE OF DREAD have unleashed another advance track from their new album "Dreadspawn Dominion", coming on August 7th 2026 through Testimony Records.
A lyric video for the song "Hybrid Horde Eternal" is available here: https://youtu.be/pEuU3qlYzMg
Guitarist Markus Bünnemeyer states: "Our single track, 'Hybrid Horde Eternal', offers an innovation as it is the first TEMPLE OF DREAD song written entirely by our singer Jens Finger. Musically, this song picks up on our trademarks but adds doom elements. The lyrics do not revolve around ancient Greek legends for a change, but we deal with an old biblical theme."
Like a mighty battle trireme, TEMPLE OF DREAD are leaving their port on the East Frisian island of Spiekeroog to deliver brutal death metal with the new massive ram bow "Dreadspawn Dominion" to all that dare to try and block their course.
Musically, TEMPLE OF DREAD remain true to their old school death metal roots but continue to expand their sonic range by further honing their cinematic aspects with even more dark and heavy elements that began to receive special attention on the previous albums "Beyond Acheron" (2023) and "God of the Godless" (2024). These veterans are making full use of their vast experience and audible confidence in their deadly craft to add true emotions into their often rather technically focussed genre.
Once again, these hardy islanders make use of classical themes from the ancient world with lyrics penned by their friend and long-time collaborator, the psychologist Frank "Doc" Albers. Followers of TEMPLE OF DREAD will recognise familiar threads, particularly the continuation of the clash between Charon, the ferryman of the souls across the River Styx and the personalised deity of the underworld, Hades.
The most obvious change that has affected TEMPLE OF DREAD between the recording of God of the Godless" and "Dreadspawn Dominion" is the addition of second guitarist Daniel Maurer and bass player Andi Bauer, who enhance the Frisian band with even more punch – both live and in studio.
With "Dreadspawn Dominion", TEMPLE OF DREAD do not just deliver about everything that their old school death metal following might desire but also invite listeners from other realms on the darker and harder side of metal to lend an ear. Listen and behold: an ancient darkness is rising to claim your souls!
Production, recording, mix & mastering by Jörg Uken / Soundloge Studios. Artwork by Paolo Girardi.

SPACE CHASER - New Lyric Visualiser – Fourth Album "Razorblade Bay" out in September 2026 via Testimony Records
 German thrashers SPACE CHASER have revealed another song from their upcoming new album "Razorblade Bay", set for release on September 11th 2026 through Testimony Records.
A lyric visualiser for the track "Blade Serpents" is available here: https://youtu.be/XDAD2mNLXWk
Frontman Leo Schacht states: "Good luck getting this hook out of your head. This song is about snake-like organisms that have exoskeletons made of conductive alloys and use lightning to hunt like bioelectric eels – and their charged whips even cut through metal. This merciless stomper leaves no skull uncracked. 'Blade Serpents' is a banger, as heavy as it gets, that crawls into your brain only to dissolve it, and to replace your grey matter with pure thrash metal."
SPACE CHASER's fourth studio album "Razorblade Bay" comes with everything that the discerning thrash metal gentleman might wish to hear these days: classic thrash riffing with a particular German leaning, and distant echoes of KREATOR, SODOM, and DESTRUCTION are always appreciated, yet there is also a dash of punk-ish energy and spirit as well as some speed metal bravado in their bespoke sonic garment. In short: in your face!
At this point, it shall be duly noted that this galactic battleship is co-piloted in the producer's seat by none other than Andy Brings of SODOM-fame.
SPACE CHASER are more than ready to jump into hyperspace with their new thrashing engine made by "Razorblade Bay" Inc. on Planet Berlin! Fasten your belt buckles and hold on tight for a furious ride into headbanging frenzy!
Recorded, mixed & mastered by Jan Oberg at Hidden Planet Studio, Berlin (DE), co-produced by Andy Brings (ex Sodom). Cover artwork by Mario E. López. Layout by Johnny Doe. Guest appearance: Andy Brings - guest vocals on "8 Minutes".

NAIL BY NAIL – New Album "Internal Inferno" in September 2026 via War Anthem Records – Music Video Premiere
 With their sophomore album entitled "Internal Inferno", scheduled for September 25th 2026 via War Anthem Records, German black metallers NAIL BY NAIL make a powerful statement - uncompromising, emotionally charged, and showcasing a level of artistic maturity that leaves no doubt the band is carving out its own distinctive path.
While the debut laid the foundation, this new full-length expands the band's vision with even greater intensity. The songs are more aggressive yet more majestic than ever before, blending the relentless ferocity of black metal with sweeping, epic soundscapes and a dynamic range that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. Razor-sharp riffs, thunderous blast beats, and haunting melodies give rise to moments of devastating force as well as striking emotional depth.
At the same time, NAIL BY NAIL reveal their most adventurous and multifaceted side to date. Sophisticated arrangements, unexpected twists, and a keen sense for atmosphere add remarkable depth to the album without sacrificing its immediacy or raw intensity. Every track stands firmly on its own while contributing to a cohesive and immersive listening experience.
The result is an album that captures the very essence of modern black metal while confidently reaching beyond the genre's traditional boundaries - dark, emotional, and utterly uncompromising. With their second album, NAIL BY NAIL prove themselves to be not only heavier and more intense, but also bolder, more evocative, and more enduring than ever before.
The album's first advance track, "Above The Black Tower", has been premiered here with a music video: https://youtu.be/MT9OJc0k7qg

CLOVEN HOOF – New Album "Never A Prophet In Your Own Land" in September 2025 via High Roller Records – Details & Track Premiere
 CLOVEN HOOF have announced their new album "Never A Prophet In Your Own Land", set for release on September 25th 2026 through High Roller Records.
A lyric video for the first single, "Iron Mask", is available here: https://youtu.be/zF5q-EWN2UI
It was a coup when main man and bassist Lee Payne announced that Harry “The Tyrant” Conklin, who had moved to Greece, would be joining his band CLOVEN HOOF. The former Jag Panzer frontman was the perfect replacement for Russ North, who was considered to be the ultimate CLOVEN HOOF singer by fans – sadly he is no longer with us. As a result, reactions to the band’s first album with Harry Conklin at the mike were outstanding. "Heathen Cross" was released on High Roller Records in 2024.
It’s now followed by CLOVEN HOOF’s tenth full-length studio album entitled "Never A Prophet In Your Own Land". Once again, the vocal performance of "The Tyrant" is world-class. Lee Payne states: "The praise is all Harry’s. We are indeed fortunate to have such a brilliant vocalist and frontman in the band."
"'Never A Prophet In Your Own Land' is not in fact a direct continuation of 'Heathen Cross'," continues Payne. "'Heathen Cross' had its own darkly heavy and brooding atmosphere. 'Never A Prophet In Your Own Land' resembles 'A Sultan’s Ransom' more closely, yet this resemblance was not contrived or planned. It just turned out that way.”
"Never A Prophet In Your Own Land" has become a very varied album, containing mid-tempo songs, faster tunes, epic compositions and straight heavy metal rockers.
Recorded by Chris Dando and Ben Fitzharris at Vault Studios, Kidderminster, UK. Mixed and mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony. Cover artwork, layout & design by Dimitar Nikolov.
Tracklist:
01. Terror From The Skies
02. Conquistador
03. Never A Prophet
04. Gypsy Roller
05. The Bigger They Are
06. Iron Mask
07. Phantom Chaser
08. Flying Dutchman
09. Prodigal Son
10. Seven Sacred Wonders
