Singer and bassist Liz Blackwell comments: "We are very excited to share our new song and video for 'Nosferatu Nights'. It was one of the first songs written after the last round of touring wrapped up in 2019 and serves as a cornerstone of the album, accommodating our sound from years on the road while forging a new direction on 'Evil Remains'. The video was a fun collaboration shot in San Francisco and Toronto by two long time members of the CASTLE collective, our band photographer Eric Haines and director Jaan Silmberg, who really nailed bringing the mood of the song into a complete visual experience. And we're looking forward to playing this banger live on the upcoming Europe Tour, so don't miss it!"

MAUL - New Track Premiere - Second Abum "In The Jaws Of Bereavement" through 20 Buck Spin
 Fargo / North Dakota based Death Metallers MAUL have revealed another song from their upcoming new album "In The Jaws Of Bereavement", set for release on October 4th 2024 through 20 Buck Spin on LP, CD, MC, and digital formats.
"Spontaneous Stigmata" is streaming now at this location: https://youtu.be/RGKK7CMM95I
While the rotten death metal heart at the core of MAUL is without question, the band have no shame in their game when it comes to embracing a penchant for the heavier side of hardcore with mosh-ready riffs and crowd-killing breaks. "In The Jaws Of Bereavement" manages to so skillfully fuse the eerie apparitions and melodic lead work of death metal’s greats with the punishing rhythms of hardcore’s violent power it feels completely organic. It’s all tied together by the unhinged vocal prowess of the human wrecking ball Garrett Alvarado, fueled by the triple guitar attack of Anthony Lamb, Josh Sanborn, and Alex Nikolas, and rhythm section of bassist/vocalist Mike Griggs and drummer Robby Anderson.
At its putrescent core, MAUL is a live band, and the songs on "In The Jaws Of Bereavement" are adeptly tailored to the environs of a dank club sweltering from the energy created through this music and a crowd living for nothing but the moment and the swell of bodies on bodies. The production here is clear and in-your-face and allows the band to expand their unique blend of old and new to become Midwest death incarnate. If you frequent the works of Sanguisugabogg, Phobophilic, Fulci, Scorched, Warflurch, Kruelty, Terminal Nation, Obituary, and Gatecreeper, MAUL is for you.
"In The Jaws Of Bereavement" was tracked, mixed, and mastered by Adam Tucker at Signaturetone Recordings at in Minneapolis (Ulthar, Obsequiae, Sunless, Thou), and completed with cover art by Wyrmwalk (Iron Age, Terminal Nation, Sentenced 2 Die, Fulci, Noxis) and photography by Kary Janousek of Old School Collodion. The album includes guest appearances from Hugh Danger, who provides synth and sample work to the album, and Vincent Bennett (The Acacia Strain) who provides additional vocals on the title track.
Tracklist:
1. In The Jaws Of Bereavement
2. Blood Quantum
3. Weaving Cerebral Horrors
4. Spontaneous Stigmata
5. An Alluring Deceit
6. Midwest Death
7. Unbridled Delusions
8. Stuck Stomped And Smeared
9. With Each Voracious Lick
10. Drawn To Drowning

HELVETETS PORT - New Album "Warlords" via High Roller Records - Full Album Stream
 "Warlords", the new full-length of Gothenburg’s Heavy Metallers HELVETETS PORT, has been premiered now in its entirety.
You can listen to the full album at this location: https://youtu.be/7QSKnDlSUjU
Officially out on September 6th 2024 via High Roller Records! Ordering options: https://www.hrrecords.de/HELVETETS-PORT
"Warlords" is a clear progression in comparison to the first two albums of the Swedes. Vocalist Witchfinder states: "With the release of 'From Life To Death' (2019) we exhausted most of the material we had written up until then, which included a lot of older stuff. This time around basically every part is newly written, save for the fact that it is five years between the albums, so not all super new in that sense. But like I often say, we’re not a band that needs to be in with the times. If a song takes zero or five years to come out, it would be just as dated."
In other words: HELVETETS PORT’s style is timeless, sticking to the strict paradigm of traditional heavy metal music, but always trying to retain its individuality. Witchfinder continues: "We delved deep into the dungeons of melancholic obscurity with 'From Life To Death' and now we felt like a change of pace. The sound on 'Warlords' is more towards 1984 than 1981. It generally has a post-apocalyptic theme and the songs are a bit more straight forward. Although straight forward when it comes to HELVETETS PORT might still be considered progressive by someone else...”

01. Black Knight

CONCRETE WINDS - New Album out now via Sepulchral Voice Records - Full Album Stream
 CONCRETE WINDS are back to push spikes, needles, and barbed wire into your flesh and ears!
Their highly anticipated third album, self-titled "Concrete Winds", is out now via Sepulchral Voice Records on CD, LP and MC formats. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory - with the help of Matti Mäkelä - at Rorysounds Studios in Uppsala, Sweden.
Listen to this sonic beast in its entirety at this location: https://youtu.be/uvEwdrq97Es
CONCRETE WINDS have always gone further than any recent extreme metal outfit and leave out everything that's established in music, cut off what became comfortable in metal, and blow away what still feels "appropriate" in extreme metal. It seems that this once-urgent attitude to explore limits finally has a new helmsman. Nevertheless, they stay ever loyal to the elder originators of bloody metal mayhem, but evolve those inspirations taken from masters like Morbid Angel, Necrovore, and Repulsion to a very unique and nearly "reference-less" hellwitchin’ sound.
Order options: https://www.hrrecords.de/SEPULCHRAL-VOICE
Tracklist:
1. Permanent Dissonance
2. Virulent Glow
3. Daylight Amputations
4. Infernal Repeater
5. Subterranean Persuasion
6. Hell Trance
7. Systematic Distortion
8. Demented Gospels
9. Pounding Devotion

FIRTAN - New Album "Ethos" via AOP Records - Final Single available
 FIRTAN have revealed the final single for their new album "Ethos", coming on September 13th 2024 via AOP Records.
You can listen to "Contra Vermes" here: https://youtu.be/eteqnFVE8Es
With three albums and two EPs to their name, FIRTAN's discography showcases a clear and audible progression. Their fourth album "Ethos" promises to be their deepest, rawest, and heaviest yet. It delves into serious existential themes in an abstract manner, contrasting decline and opportunity within an ambivalent context. This juxtaposition is reflected in the music itself, confronting listeners with the harshness and sonic tension between harmony and dissonance, revealing the meaning and emptiness of existence.
"Ethos" will be following the critically acclaimed "Marter" and stands as a testament to the vibrant dynamics within the German Black Metal Scene. The album will feature guest performances from J.J. (Harakiri for the Sky, Karg) and L.G. (Ellende). Expect to be immersed in a world where melody and chaos collide, where unapologetic riffing and haunting melodies guide you through the shadows of the human condition.

IMMORTAL BIRD - New Album "Sin Querencia" via 20 Buck Spin - Details and Track Premiere
 Chicago’s IMMORTAL BIRD make their long-awaited return with their third album, "Sin Querencia", to be released on October 18th 2024 though 20 Buck Spin.
You can listen to a first song entitled "Plastered Sainthood" at this location: https://youtu.be/C6d1kUQMssg
Abandoning genre constraints, IMMORTAL BIRD coherently fuse elements of Death and Black Metal, Hardcore tumult, a dose of their city’s Noise Rock agitation, and a compositional complexity that recalls stalwart boundary-pushers like Gorguts and Ulcerate. The trio have evolved their collaboration to forge a cacophonous maelstrom of jagged metal intricacy with a surgical clarity, seeing the combination of Nate Madden on guitar and Matt Korajczyk on drums at its most centered and engaging.
Recording as a 3-piece on "Sin Querencia", Madden recorded the majority of bass along with multi-instrumentalist bandmates Rae Amitay and Matt Korajczyk. Vocalist Rae Amitay’s thought-provoking lyrical range weaves through visceral subject matter, threading together allegory and allusion in vehement admonishments of hypocrisy, as well as confronting our brutal complicity and complacency in our current reality.
"Sin Querencia" marks a new milestone in IMMORTAL BIRD’s now 10+ year history as the band’s most structurally extreme and wide-ranging performance to date.
Tracklist:
1. Bioluminescent Toxins
2. Plastered Sainthood
3. Consanguinity
4. Propagandized
5. Ocean Endless
6. Synthetic Alliances
7. Contrarian Companions
8. Sin Querencia
