CHRISTIAN MISTRESS - Deal with Cruz Del Sur Music - New Album in early 2025
 Cruz Del Sur Music is proud to announce the signing of cult Northwestern United States metallers CHRISTIAN MISTRESS. The label will issue the band’s long-awaited fourth studio album in early 2025.
Cruz Del Sur’s interest in CHRISTIAN MISTRESS dates back to 2015 when the band was touring Italy in support of the same year’s “To Your Death” studio effort. The feelings were mutual. However, a self-imposed break in 2016 was elongated by the global pandemic. A triumphant return to the stage at the 2023 installment of the “Hell’s Heroes” festival effectively reactivated CHRISTIAN MISTRESS.
Originally formed in 2008, CHRISTIAN MISTRESS issued a self-titled demo in 2009 as well as the “Mother Of Mercy/The Hereafter” single the same year before joining 20 Buck Spin for the release of their 2010 “Agony & Opium” debut long-player. The band subsequently joined Relapse Records in time for the release of 2012’s “Possession”, which was followed by “To Your Death” in 2015.
The band is now a four-piece featuring vocalist Christine Davis, guitarist Tim Diedrich, drummer Reuben Storey and second guitarist/bassist Jonny Wulf. Being that their first three albums were produced in their native Olympia, Washington at the 4-track half-inch reel-to-reel High Command Studio with Captain Tripsballsington, it’s not a surprise CHRISTIAN MISTRESS has opted to record there again.
“It felt only natural to get back in that basement and burn up some more iron oxide with the Captain,” says Storey. “We are wrapping up album tracking in early October, as we write this.
“It is CHRISTIAN MISTRESS as we always have been: authentic, raw, ambitious and honest,” he continues. “A group of friends hashing it out in a room together with amps, Tascams, pens and paper. A live band living. The new album picks up right where we left off with ‘To Your Death’ with more heavy metal sass and new stories to tell.”

ROTPIT - Sophomore Album "Long Live The Rot" via War Anthem Records - Details and Track Premiere
 War Anthem Records proudly announces the new album of German/Swedish based Death Metallers ROTPIT, entitled "Long Live The Rot", set for release on November 29th 2024 on CD, LP and digitally. A tape version is coming through Selfmadegod Records.
"Long Live The Rot" marks the second full-length of the trio, delivering 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!
Check out the first track premiere, "Massive Maggot Swarm", here: https://youtu.be/TouNRYAP498
The album introduces ROTPIT’s new drummer Erik Barthold, who is well known from Swedish Doomers in Left Hand Solution and his participation in the glorious punk band Det Kristet Utseende. ROTPIT comment: "We were looking for a drummer who is located closeby to our main songwriter Jonny Pettersson to implement a more natural flow and growth to our new material on the one hand and to develop ROTPIT from an originally intended studio project into a live performing band on the other hand. Erik did a hell of a job in pushing our songs to a new level while he perfectly added his own skillset into the soundscape of rot."
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. The cover artwork was created by Finnish cult underground artist T. Kannibalet Hietomma Art in the old school hand drawn way.
If you are into Old School Rotten Death Metal like Autopsy, Nihilist, Grave, Undergang and early Paradise Lost you should definitely check out "Long Live The Rot".

TEMPLE OF DREAD - New Album "God Of The Godless" via Testimony Records - Final Single revealed
 German Death Metallers TEMPLE OF DREAD have unleashed the final single for their upcoming new album "God Of The Godless", set for release on October 4th 2024 via Testimony Records on CD, LP and in digital formats.
You can listen to "Black Scream" here: https://youtu.be/Mh2HmXI6_so
Axe master Markus Bünnemeyer comments: "None of our other songs sounds more like Slayer than 'Black Scream', and our love for the Bay Area thrash legends has become ever more apparent. Funny enough, this track was originally intended to pay homage to Floridian death metal veterans Massacre. The lyrics of 'Black Scream' revolve around another victim of the Trojan War: Philoctetes. This brave warrior was shamefully abandoned by his dishonorable comrades-in-arms."
Like its highly acclaimed predecessor "Beyond Acheron" (2023), "God Of The Godless" comes with a massive production courtesy of drummer Jörg Uken, who owns and runs the renowned death metal smithy Soundlodge Tonstudio, and features a cover artwork by Italian artist Paolo Girardi.
Building on their brutal death metal base, TEMPLE OF DREAD also work with dark and heavy parts as well as a surprising dash of melancholia - and even some knife-tips of black metal spice. Lyrically, they continue to upgrade the genre's traditional splatter-themes by translating them into the realm of classical myth. For the lyrics of "God Of The Godless", the East Frisians continue the fruitful collaboration with their friend and word-smith, the psychologist Frank "Doc" Albers. Furthermore, the trio has decided that it is time to leave their Northern German island and go raiding the rest of the world by performing live with an extended line-up. Watch out for crushing Frisian death metal in your neighbourhood!
With their fifth full-length "God Of The Godless", TEMPLE OF DREAD are again pushing the benchmark for intelligent death metal brutality to a higher level!
Tracklist:
1. Carnage Ritual
2. Spawn Of Filth
3. Black Scream
4. Sacrificial Dawn
5. God Of The Godless
6. Prophetic Misanthropy
7. Monstrosity Divine
8. Terminal Putrefaction
9. Demise Of Olympus
Line-up:
Jens Finger - Vocals
Markus Bünnemeyer - Guitars, Bass
Jörg Uken - Drums, Keys

"Jeopardy Room" was recorded in the legendary Morrisound Recording Studio in Tampa, Florida and produced by Jim Morris. Featuring special honored guests on the revamped demo classic "Witches Sabbath": Donald Tardy (Drums) and John Tardy (Vocals) from OBITUARY!
NASTY SAVAGE is an American thrash metal band from Brandon,Florida, formed in 1983 by vocalist "Nasty" Ronnie Galletti. They were extremely influential in the emergence of the Florida death metal scene, inspiring bands such as DEATH and OBITUARY. They rose to popularity primarily due to singer "Nasty" Ronnie Galetti's over-the-top stage show performances (in early shows Ronnie smashed television sets over his head). After releasing three albums and one EP between 1985 and 1989, they broke up. After there had been speculation about a reunion for some time, their last studio album to date, "Psycho Psycho", was released in the spring of 2004, and the band played occasional live shows before disbanding for the second time in 2012. The band once again reformed in January 2016 and is active ever since.

PYRACANDA - Comeback Studio Album "Losing Faith“ via FHM Records - New Track revealed
 German Metallers PYRACANDA have revealed a second track from their comeback album "Losing Faith", set for release on Octobber 10th 2024 via FHM Records.
Check out "Hellfire" here: https://youtu.be/k4Z5aDNaPps
Originally founded in 1987, PYRACANDA hit the scene with their debut album "Two Sides Of A Coin" in 1990 – an explosive mix of high density speed metal & strong melodies. Produced by Armin Sabol (i.a. Rage and Sinner). Influenced by the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal and early Metallica, singer Hansi Nefen, the guitarists Sven Fischer & Dennis Vaupel, bassist Dieter Wittbecker and drummer Elmar Gehenzig created a unique blend of furious riffs & lush chord progressions that set them apart from their competitors. Along with labelmates Blind Guardian, PYRACANDA was another treasure coming out of the No Remorse Records camp.
The follow up album „Thorns“ – released in 1992 – was produced with Mekong Delta mastermind Ralph Hubert and saw PYRACANDA adding some progressive rock elements. Both albums feature exceptional cover artwork by renowned artist Joachim Luetke (Kreator, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy, Marilyn Manson, Destruction i.a.). With Gehenzig leaving the band (who was then replaced by Patrick Grün – now also with Caliban) and Fischer joining the metal institution Rage a year later, things were paused. For a long time. And they came together again.
In 2020, PYRACANDA announced their reunion, playing the old hits for their loyal fans after all these years and working on new music at the same time. On 10 October 2024, the time has come. After 32 years, the new album „Losing Faith“ comes in good old PYRACANDA style. It is 100% oldschool composed and recorded. No frills, no drum computers. Everything was composed in the rehearsal room and recorded by hand in the studio. But it doesn’t come across as old-fashioned. It’s real, true and new heavy metal.

03. Mouth Warrior
