AGELESS SUMMONING - Debut Album "Corrupting The Entempled Plane" via Dark Descent Records - Details and Trackstream
 Dark Descent Records has announced the debut album of UK's Death Metallers AGELESS SUMMONING!
"Corrupting The Entempled Plane" will be released on July 21st 2023 on LP, CD, tape and digitally.
A first track entitled "Epoch of Souls" is streaming at this location: https://youtu.be/myvJEPdJ1Bk
"AGELESS SUMMONING was inspired by the otherworldly death metal of Steve Tucker era Morbid Angel and the discord of Immolation. We try to emulate the sludgy malevolence and desolate atmospheres of the likes of 'Gateways To Annihilation' and 'Here In After'", declares vocalist Ali Lauder. "We felt that the unique atmosphere and mythos conjured by that slower-paced, brutal, and hypnotic style were underappreciated and overlooked, and we didn't know of many bands doing things in that vein, so we thought we'd try it ourselves."
Whilst admiration of the US American masters is unquestionable, AGELESS SUMMONING display a jaw-dropping level of originality in their approach to the sub-genre.
Featuring members of such long-running U.K. acts as Of Spire & Throne, Haar, Úir, Scordatura, and Abyssal, the band has several combined decades of desecration under their belts. Wrapped in one of the most stunning and sinister Paolo Girardi artworks in recent memory, "Corrupting The Entempled Plane" is not to be missed.
Tracklist:
01. Usurper of the Void
02. Descent from the Infinite
03. Epoch of Souls
04. Among the Worms
05. Corrupting the Entempled Plane
06. Incarnate Nothingness
07. Toward the Fractal Absolute
08. Retribution Eternal
09. Invocation
10. Salvation in Ash

FJOERGYN - German Avantgarde Metallers return to Trollzorn Records - New Album 'Judasmesse' - Video Clip Premiere
 Trollzorn Records proudly announces the return of German Avantgarde Metallers FJOERGYN!
The band’s sixth full-length album "Judasmesse" will be released on June 2nd, 2023 - right in time for their 20th anniversary.
Critical, cynical and more topical than ever before, FJOERGYN ignite a firework of musical rejection and also reinvent themselves on "Judasmesse". While the orchestral component dominated on all previous albums, the Thuringians present themselves more open to experimentation and sounds, which gives the new album an authoritative retro touch rarely found in this genre. Thematically the new album is dedicated to betrayal and pays homage to its most famous protagonists.
No comparisons, no compromises - FJOERGYN put their finger in the wound and offer a musical cosmos beyond the mainstream! An ode to art, freedom and contempt! Long live the betrayal!
A video clip for the new track "Kain" has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/apKgDFxkb2k
Tracklist:
1. Sturz
2. Kain
3. Komm Abel lass uns aufs Feld gehen
4. Prometheus I – Briefe eines sterbenden Kosmos
5. Prometheus II – Uranos Zorn
6. Prometheus III – Plagen
7. Vater(s)land
8. Non Serviam
9. Warfarin

ATHANATHEOS - New Concept Album 'Cross. Deny. Glorify.' out now via Lavadome Productions - Full Stream available
 "Cross. Deny. Glorify.", the new concept album of French Death Metallers ATHANATHEOS, is streaming in its entirety now at this location:
https://lavadome.bandcamp.com/album/cross-deny-glorify
The band’s third full-length has just been released by Lavadome Productions. It was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered between July 2019 to December 2022 at the Atheistic Dungeon by Samuel Girard. The cover artwork is a painting by Giulio Romano (1524, "The Battle of the Milvian Bridge").
ATHANATHEOS have refined their craft to deliver real metal grandeur upon the listener. However, the mentality that undergirds this record is the same one that allowed Death Metal to evolve and thrive in the exile of absolute ostracism by the mainstream: No trends, no compromise, only pure vision.
The concept of the album leads to the fourth century, a period of significant interest to scholars of Christian history when, over a span of just 80 years, Christianity transformed from a marginalized and persecuted sect to the sole authorized state religion of the Roman Empire. This brought about a profound shift in Roman society and its longstanding polytheistic religious traditions. The historical account of "Cross. Deny. Glorify." presents the birth of this transformative period through the perspectives of three distinct characters. Gaius, the father – a simple soldier. Flavius, the son – an itinerant merchant. Marcus, the grandson – a philosopher.
"Cross. Deny. Glorify." is unique in its character while holding true to a core musical vision that binds the entire record.
Tracklist:
1. The Cross
2. You Were Not
3. Credo Quia Absurdum
4. They Are Spreading the Pestilence
5. To Deny
6. The Silent Oblivion
7. Witness
8. Rise of Terror, Rise of Intolerance
9. To Glorify
