VREDENSDAL, founded 2018 by The Goblin Reaper in Green Bay, Wisconsin - with the intention to alter the typical expectations of what Black Metal can be, integrating multiple influences into a single dynamic force to call out the primal desire within all to look deeper into our own inner shadow. Dubbed "N.W.O.U.S.B.M." by fans, the music features styles both, the familiar and the unknown, which weave a tapestry of homages to the masters of yesteryear and explore new takes on the genre, most often in a thrashing & grooving madness. Fans of both the classic and contemporary Black Metal sound will find this outstanding act warrants repeated listening.

OBSEQUIAE - Full Live Performance Video via 20 Buck Spin - Fire in the Mountains 2022
 20 Buck Spin proudly presents a video of OBSEQUIAE's live performance at "Fire in the Mountains" (2022), featuring a soundboard recording / mix and professional camera work.
Check it out at this location: https://youtu.be/tQM-4n3Iq3E
Bandleader and guitarist Tanner Anderson states:
Performing at Fire in the Mountains in 2022 was powerful. After two years of pandemic and quarantine, people had a real need for the kind of engagement and sincerity that a festival like FitM has cultivated. The connection between everyone - onstage and off - felt more genuine and heartfelt than any other I've encountered in my life. As a band that doesn't play live often, it meant that much more for us to enjoy such a privilege, including the spectacular hospitality extended to us in that valley in Wyoming.
Our live band had collectively endured profound losses between 2020 and 2022. It brought us closer and made our work together more important, with Fire in the Mountains as a culmination of this. We felt it in each other, the audience, the staff - even the land itself. We shared stories, tears, and laughter with old and new friends. For the band, it was a celebration of our friendship with one another and our work, though not without a touch of the bittersweet; two weeks after we returned from Fire in the Mountains, Eoghan would move to Dublin, Ireland and I would move to Boston, Massachusetts. It wasn't so much that we wouldn't still work together or see one another - it was that we both had large transitions on our minds during a time where everyone seemed to already be in a state of some great transition as well.
As the festival got underway, the idea that we really weren't going to see each other afterwards for quite some time began to deepen. So, we wanted to see if anyone at FitM might keep this performance as a record, even if it was just for us. We were extremely fortunate to meet some kind people with cameras, access to the soundboard recording, and a willingness to do just that with no notice at all. Rather than keep it to ourselves, we offer this to you here since it was a profound and collective effort. Thank you to Fire in the Mountains and all who took part in this singular experience.
Obsequiae performance at Fire in the Mountains: July 24, 2022 at Heart Six Ranch in Moran, Wyoming on the lands of the Newe Sogobia (Eastern Shoshone), Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, Shoshone-Bannock, Tséstho’e (Cheyenne), Arapaho, and Crow.

KOMMAND - New Album from LA's Death Metallers via 20 Buck Spin - New Track Premiere
 Los Angeles based Death Metallers KOMMAND have released a second song from their upcoming new full-length, "Death Age".
Check out "Global Death" at this location: https://youtu.be/3U7qUltWNn4
The album will be unleashed on March 31st, 2023 via 20 Buck Spin on CD, Vinyl, Tape and digitally.
It was recorded by Mike Kriebel and mixed/mastered by Arthur Rizk. The artwork was created by Bharatadanu.
The ominous atmosphere on ‘Death Age’ heralds the single-minded concentrated objective; to batter, demolish and destroy with no quarter given. Death Metal of this kind taps into the most primitive, untamed instincts, advancing like a convoy of tanks through occupied territory, heedless of whatever or whoever stands in its path. From opener ‘Final Virus’ to closer ‘Collapse Metropolis’ KOMMAND’s vision of a dystopian hellscape, cities permanently scarred by heavy weaponry, and those unfortunates who survived the onslaught never relents or offers respite. ‘Death Age’ thus renders a terminal epitaph on the bloody trash heap of near-future history.
Tracklist:
1. Final Virus
2. Chimera Soldiers
3. Global Death
4. Polar Holdout
5. Fleeing Western Territories
6. Collapse Metropolis

The end result is VOIDCEREMONY and their signature sound: Time-melting Death Black Fusion!
Mixed/Mastered and reamped in Milan, Italy by Gabriele Gramaglia.
Cover Artwork by Juanjo Castellano.

MACE 'N' CHAIN - Debut Album 'Among Ancient Pillars' via No Remorse Records - Lyric Video available
 MACE 'N' CHAIN was formed in Sweden at the end of 2020 by David Nilsson (singer of Swedish death metal band Feral) to pay homage to the genre that originally got him into metal in the first place: true, sword-wielding, heavy, goddamned, metal!
The debut demo "Upon the Anvil Formed" was released shortly thereafter in 2021 to high praise in the underground metal scene leading MACE 'N' CHAIN joining No Remorse Records, with David Nilsson commenting, "I am extremely honored to be teaming up with No Remorse Records! And I simply could not imagine a better place for MACE 'N' CHAIN than this highly respected label".
"Among Ancient Pillars" is highly recommended for fans of Eternal Champion, Wrathblade, Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol, Brocas Helm, Ironsword, and Manowar. It is raw, epic and thunderous, faithful to epic heavy metal legends, old and new, yet it has the original touch of composer and multi-instrumentalist, David Nilsson. Lyrically, "Among Ancient Pillars" is inspired by a variety of sources including myth and fantasy, literature and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, Robert E. Howard. This is just the beginning…
The album will be released on March 24th 2023. It was recorded in Pagan Hell Studios, mixed by Peter Nilsson at Soner Produktion and mastered by Bart Gabriel. The artwork and logo were created by Bram Bruyneel.
A lyric video for the track "The Key to Ancient Riddles" has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/XKa_5n-MxzY
Tracklist:
1. Bloodied Talons
2. The Key to Ancient Riddles
3. Defying the Gates
4. By the Peal of Thunder
5. Labyrinthian Black
6. Mound of Ashen Skulls
7. Fountain of Voices
8. Upon the Anvil Formed

PUTRID YELL - Debut Album 'Consuming Aberration' via Pulverised Records - Details and Trackstream revealed
 Chilean Death Metallers PUTRID YELL have announced their debut full-length, "Consuming Aberration"!
The album will be released on April 14th 2023 via Pulverised Records. It was recorded and mixed by Cristian Leon at Lion’s Roar Studio (Ripper, Hellish, Dearthsvn, etc), mastered by Damien Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studio (Horrendous, Suffering Hour, Blood Incantation, Rope Sect, etc) and comes with a brilliant artwork by Putrid Matt (Coffins, Bones, Hooded Menace, etc.).
Cold and reptilian but akin to nails impaling with precision and mastery, PUTRID YELL is the inch-perfect blend of contemporary Swede-saw, proto 90’s outta-control chainsaw sound that fascinated the extreme music world and that undeniable first-gen primal Cogumelo worship; a grating orifice of the absolute radiance of the glorious 80’s South American Black/Death Metal movement.
A first track entitled "Indescribable Evil Instinct" can be streamed here: https://youtu.be/5pwvrrgAt6E
Tracklist:
01. The Search
02. Consuming Aberration
03. Desire Of Death
04. Re-Animator
05. Forgotten Souls
06. Charred Corpses
07. Indescribable Evil Instinct
08. Process Through Death
09. Deadly Ashes
10. Wrenching Putrid Yell
