SODOMISERY - Lyric Video Premiere "Mazzaroth" - Sophomore Full-Length Album via Testimony Records
 Swedish Melodic Death Metallers SODOMISERY have revealed the third and final single from their upcoming new album, entitled "Mazzaroth".
A lyric video the title track has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/Gsr1B-42QCg
SODOMISERY's sophomore full-length will be released on September 8th 2023 via Testimony Records on CD, LP and digitally.
It was produced by Harris Sopovic himself at Sopovic Antiproductions (Östhammar, Sweden), mixed and mastered by Ronnie Björnström at Björnström Sound & Production (Sundsvall, Sweden) and features a cover artwork from JRMR.
On "Mazzaroth", SODOMISERY are underlining their loosely conceptual approach with a remarkable musical evolution. They are expanding their original sound that combines the power and precision of death metal with the frenzied and cold aggression of black metal, and they have now added a layer of dramatic depth by including keyboards.
In the short time period from their inception in 2015 to the forthcoming second album, the band has progressed by leaps and bounds and "Mazzaroth" is the audible proof of this bold statement!
Tracklist:
1. Coming Home
2. Psychogenic
3. Delusion
4. A Storm Without a Wind
5. Master of Your Mind
6. Mazzaroth
7. Rebuilding

ERADIKATED - Thrashing Debut Album "Descendants" via Indie Recordings - New Music Video "Flood" revealed
 After releasing two successful singles and playing several prestigious shows during the year, young Swedish Thrashers ERADIKATED will finally unleash their debut album, entitled "Descendants", on October 6th 2023 via Indie Recordings!
"Descendants" is a diverse mix of fast, heavy and technical thrash metal where the common theme spells aggression. Even though you clearly can hear some influences of the 80’s Bay Area scene, ERADIKATED is not to be seen as some retro thing. This is a young, raw and uncompromising band that without a doubt is ready to take on the world – they are the voice of a new generation.
The whole theme of the album is a dystopia and all the lyrics create a coherent story, written by lead singer and guitarist Elvin Landaeus Csizmadia. The purpose with "Descendants" is to listen from start to end, partly to get the story straight, but all the 11 tracks are also composed to fit together and create a natural flow where you don’t want to skip any songs.
Elvin states: "'Descendants' is about an apocalyptic near future where climate disasters are ravaging humanity and greed has left everyone to fend for themselves. The lyrics tell a story of pain and suffering, and of different forces who try to bring about a new world. It's basically about a future I hope we can avoid."
The album was produced by ERADIKATED themselves and recorded by the band's guitarist Ragnar Östberg in his own studio East Hill Audio, then mixed and mastered by the well-respected Gustav Brunn at All In Audio.
A brand new video clip for the track "Flood", featuring live footage from Sweden Rock Festival 2023, can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/xEuSfqaKVI8
Tracklist:
01. Unleash
02. Flood
03. Drought
04. Descendants
05. Dead Heaven
06. Hazardous
07. Faced
08. Flames
09. Reckoning
10. Blood-like Red
11. Coffin
Line-up:
Elvin Landaeus Csizmadia - Lead Vocals / Guitar
Ragnar Östberg - Lead Guitar / Vocals
Erland Östberg - Bass / Vocals
Calle Frogner Moberg - Drums

RUIN LUST - New Full-Length Album "Dissimulant" via 20 Buck Spin - Details and Trackstream revealed
 20 Buck Spin announces the new album of New York City Death/War Metallers RUIN LUST, entitled "Dissimulant".
The band’s fourth album will be released on September 29th 2023. It was recorded and mixed by Nolan Voss and mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studio.
Having dropped their third album "Choir of Babel" in early 2020 just before the world shut down, the forces of pandemic did not succeed in silencing RUIN LUST for good. Though confined to their fallout bunker, the band, with martial fervor, began work on what has now, three years later, emerged as their fourth album "Dissimulant".
In the final phase of imperialist rot, RUIN LUST declares war against the festering delusions of a devolving species. The most withering aspects of modern Death Metal, Grinding War Metal and Black Metal’s more bestial tendencies compel this audial exorcism, poisoning the well like a bioweapon spread through open air, suffocating and contemptuous. By the time album closer "Chemical Wind" is done all that remains are parched bones and desiccated shadows.
Barbarically pestilent yet compositionally deliberate, "Dissimulant" casts a bitter pall and leaves an open wound on the Death Metal scene for 2023. A militant milestone in the RUIN LUST discography.
The album’s opening track, "Eden", can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/eg6BBDVAF_0
Tracklist:
1. Eden
2. Imperium
3. Clinamen
4. Thrall
5. Dissimulant
6. Purge
7. Infinite Regress
8. Chemical Wind

DIABOLIC NIGHT - Sophomore Full-Length Album "Beneath The Crimson Prophecy" via High Roller Records - Lyric Video
 High Roller Records proudly announces the second full-length album of Teutonic metal brigade DIABOLIC NIGHT!
"Beneath The Crimson Prophecy" will be released on October 20th 2023 on CD and LP. An exclusive tape version is coming via Mortal Rite Records.
A lyric video for the first single, entitled "The Sacred Scriptures", can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/0DCQsTt11OE
Atmospherically, DIABOLIC NIGHT’s new material sports a slightly darker armour without neglecting any of the assets for which multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer Heavy Steeler has become known for: NWoBHM-tinged lead guitar work, addictive melodies, frosty tremolos straight from early-90s Scandinavia as well as unmistakable mid-80s Ruhr area breakneck drumming and a barking vocal delivery.
Still, there’s an epic twist to it all, testament to the narrative structure and Heavy Steeler’s uncompromising vision. Recorded again with the help of trusted skinsman Christhunter in three different studios and graced with another striking cover by Adam Burke (Angel Witch, Portrait), the songs scream to be performed on stage, which will happen, of course, with a full live line-up.
Tracklist:
1. Revelation
2. Tales Of Past & Mystery
3. The Sacred Scriptures
4. Pandemonium
5. Starlit Skies
6. Vicious Assault
7. Voyage To Fortune
8. Arktares Has Fallen

TEMPLE OF DREAD - New Single Premiere "Asebeia"
 East Frisian Death Metallers TEMPLE OF DREAD have released the third and final single from their upcoming new album "Beyond Acheron", which is scheduled for release on August 11th, 2023 via Testimony Records.
"Asebeia" is available for immediate publication via the following link: https://youtu.be/1-8dxQBxpXE
The song title derives from the Ancient Greek word 'ἀσέβεια', which translates as "godlessness" or "sin against the gods", which was a crime in the classic world.
Guitarist Markus Bünnemeyer comments: "The new single 'Asebeia' is the shortest song that we've ever written. It hits you with two minutes of full speed ahead – and makes no compromise, which is the quintessence of Temple of Dread! Lyrically, 'Asebeia' revolves around the pleading of a godless man. He bows to none of the ancient gods!"
Expanding from their brutal death metal base, TEMPLE OF DREAD have focussed on the cinematic aspects of their sound. On "Beyond Acheron”, the band has added more dark and heavy parts as well as a healthy dash of melancholic feeling – and even black metal inspired moments. Lyrically, "Beyond Acheron" operates both within and at the same time beyond the genre's traditional splatter-horizon. TEMPLE OF DREAD enjoy the continued support of their friend and word-smith, the psychologist Frank Albers, who has again delivered intelligent gory texts that revolve around antique myth and history featuring protagonists such as Icarus, Vulcan, Hades, Cleopatra, and Marcus Antonius aka Mark Anthony. Although "Beyond Acheron" is not a concept album, classical themes run like Ariadne's red thread through all its aspects.
With "Beyond Acheron", TEMPLE OF DREAD have set a new benchmark for intelligent death metal brutality!
The band's fourth full-length was produced by drummer Jörg Uken in his renowned Soundlodge Studio and features a cover artwork by Italian artist Paolo Girardi.
Tracklist:
01. Charon's Call (Intro)
02. Beyond Acheron
03. World Below
04. Damnation
05. Dance of Decay
06. All-Consuming Fire
07. The Plague
08. Carnality Device
09. Asebeia
10. Hades
Line-up:
Jens Finger - Vocals
Markus Bünnemeyer - Guitars, Bass
Jörg Uken - Drums, Keys

ACID FORCE - New Album "World Targets In Megadeaths" via Jawbreaker Records - Video Clip available
 Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the release of the new album, "World Targets In Megadeaths", by Slovakian heavy thrashers ACID FORCE!
Following a brief hiatus and several lineup changes, ACID FORCE has returned stronger than ever. The band, now consisting of Andrej Petro on guitars and vocals, Erik Leško on guitars, Federico Petrík on drums, and Juraj Ondrejmiška on bass, has expanded their sonic palette while staying true to their roots. The resulting album is a heavy load of thrashing metal fury, heavily sprinkled with melody and traditional Heavy Metal vibes, superbly delivered with a punk-metal attitude and need for speed.
Since their formation in 2014, ACID FORCE have slowly been carving a niche for themselves in the underground metal scene through the Towards the Nuclear Load EP (2015) and debut full length album Atrocity for the Lust (2017). The departure of previous frontman Teodor Majerík in 2019 and the global pandemic could have spelled the band’s end, but with guitarist Andrej Petro stepping up to the microphone and the addition of Juraj Ondrejmiška on bass, ACID FORCE have now risen again, stronger than ever before. The recording process for "World Targets In Megadeaths" spanned four months of intense dedication to perfecting every detail. ACID FORCE poured their hearts and souls into each track, meticulously crafting a collection of songs that captures their evolution and growth as musicians. The result was enough to secure them with a record deal with Swedish label Jawbreaker Records.
“What caught my attention on 'World Targets In Megadeaths'“, says label boss G.G. Sundin, “is that is not stuck in the same old grooves that most thrash metal albums coming out nowadays are. Instead ACID FORCE have created a fresh mix of thrash, speed and traditional heavy metal.”
To give a glimpse of what awaits on "World Targets In Megadeaths", the first single song, "Praise the Atom", has just been released, accompanied by a professionally recorded music video. The single showcases the band’s renewed energy and their ability to blend ferocious riffs, thunderous drums and powerful vocals into a compelling sonic assault. Thrashers and speed freaks alike can expect an explosive and unrelenting musical experience that will leave them hungry for more!
