RESURRECTED – New Lyric Video – New Album "Perpetual" scheduled for April 2026 via Testimony Records
 German Brutal Death veterans RESURRECTED have unleashed another song from their upcoming eighth full-length album "Perpetual", set for release on April 10th 2026 through Testimony Records.
A lyric video for the track "Forever Damned" has been premiered here: https://youtu.be/MQByxGcMpwg
On "Perpetual", RESURRECTED keep a steady course, which remains firmly on an old school death metal trajectory. This is completely befitting for a band that ranks among the earliest pioneers of the brutal style in their country. What makes the difference are the many years of experience, both in songwriting and on stage, which are reflected in the technical proficiency as well as the powerful and absolutely crushing tracks that are a tribute to their craft on this album.
When guitarist Thomas Granzow went all in with death metal by co-founding RESURRECTED in 1993, the band's musical direction was clearly advertised with the first demo "Darkside of Reality" (1994) that already combined unbridled aggression and technical precision as trademarks of the style and gained them traction in the underground scene even beyond the local radius. RESURRECTED's 1998 debut full-length "Raping Whores" gained them international recognition for the sheer brutality of riffs, pounding blast beats, and resonant growls.
With widely acclaimed albums such as "Butchered in Excrement" (2001) and "Endless Sea of Loss" (2006), RESURRECTED solidified their status as death metal staple in Europe and built a loyal following. Although the Germans have been compared to the genre's greats such as CANNIBAL CORPSE, SUFFOCATION, and MORBID ANGEL, they have always had an unmistakable sound of their own. This was marked by their audible openness to subtly incorporate elements from other directions of extreme music.
Energetic and relentless live performances have opened the doors for RESURRECTED to tour across Europe and to enter stages of many renowned international festivals that include among many others the Party.San Open Air and Deathfeast Open Air (DE), Milwaukee Metal Fest (US), Obscene Extreme (CZ), and Inferno Festival (NO).
RESURRECTED spent a large part of 2025 channelling their decades of experience, talent, and unwavering passion for death metal into "Perpetual": RESURRECTED did not grow old, they got even better!
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jörg Uken at Soundlodge Studio, Rhauderfehn (DE). Cover artwork by Ivan S. Bragin of Bragin Design.

ARROGANZ - New Album "Death Doom Punks" in May 2026 via Testimony Records - Details and Music Video revealed
 Testimony Records proudly announces the new album of ARROGANZ, entitled "Death Doom Punks", set for release on May 15th 2026.
The leadoff single "Die For Nothing" has been premiered here with a video clip: https://youtu.be/LyY2qNS_Hig
ARROGANZ frontman -K- declares on behalf of the trio: "This is the blade to kill all gods! The track 'Die for Nothing' is dedicated to all religious fundamentalists and political extremists. You are free to follow your stupid ideologies and to take your path of easy 'answers' – just do us all one last favour: poison yourselves and everyone who is with you. Kneel and praise the 'gods' that you created – and in the end, die for nothing!"
With their seventh full-length, "Death Doom Punks", ARROGANZ deliver exactly what the title promises: the brutality of old school death metal meets the attitude and unpolished directness of punk. This album pulls no punches and hits straight into gut and face.
The German trio has amplified 15 years of experience into a record that comes with their trademark sound but is absolutely confident and mature both in songwriting and storytelling. On "Death Doom Punks", ARROGANZ are never afraid to let their influences shine through as they obviously made them their own. Driven by a heavy pumping bass and relentlessly whipped drum skins, the trio stacks massive riffs on top of each other and finishes any remaining resistance off with a barrage of deep-throated growls.
ARROGANZ' lyrics reflect the personal, the philosophical and social in a current state of world affairs that wrecks all certainties and takes all comfortable lies off the table. This looming darkness is also reflected in "Death Doom Punks".
ARROGANZ are back following a change in the trio's line-up, and the death doom punks are ready to kick ass again! The German trio from Torgau, Berlin and Nuremberg has been hammering out their very own style and sound since 2008. What began as an aggressive and rough musical entity with raging blast parts and D-beats has over time widened its musical range to include dark and atmospheric moments as well as obscure doom passages.
Whatever ARROGANZ are doing, it always comes out at 100% while never forgetting the original roots in old school death metal. The trio's unwillingness to compromise has been hailed by many and earned them the hate of others - about which they do not give the slightest... as authenticity and honesty in every aspect are their key traits.
Officially appearing on the scene with their debut full-length "Dark and Deathless" in 2011, ARROGANZ have since released five more acclaimed albums with "Quintessenz" (2024) as their latest successful offering. Over the years, ARROGANZ have firmly established their brand as a crushing live act far beyond the boundaries of their native Germany.
With ARROGANZ what you see and hear is what you get, and "Death Doom Punks" is not just the album title but also a declaration of allegiance and intent. Get on board, bang your head, slam and rage - or get out!
"Death Doom Punks" was recorded, mixed and mastered by Timo Rotten at Dungeon Soul Studios, Berlin (DE) and produced by ARROGANZ. The cover artwork was created by Johnny Doe.
Tracklist:
1. Die For Nothing
2. Under Scarred Skin

THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION – New Album "Mondo Tomorrow" coming in April 2026 via Cruz Del Sur Music – Video Clip and Tourdates
 The incomparable Australian rock outfit THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION returns with their 7th album, a raucous foray into the depths of the dirtiest clubs from Down Under! Wilder, weirder… "Mondo Tomorrow" is scheduled for April 10th 2026 via Cruz Del Sur Music!
“Time travels both ways.” It’s a powerful one-liner from THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION guitarist Inverted CruciFox on the thematic elements that comprise the band’s newest studio effort, "Mondo Tomorrow". After multiple albums detailing the adventures of frontwoman the Imperial Priestess (a.k.a. Screaming Loz Such)—from the French Revolution, Black Plague, Judas Priest concert parking lots and the love-soaked 1970s—the band is now taking a long, hard look at the perils of technology while bringing back their punk rock roots.
Indeed, cuts such as the title track, “Mind Controller” and “Cybernetic Times” are told through a retro-futurist lens that depicts a world under the grip of those in charge with unlimited technological power. The songs are brought to life by the aforementioned Imperial Priestess’s charismatic, infectious vocals—capable of delivering soaring choruses and gritty, down-in-the-dirt volleys. All the while, her bandmates bring the house down with an array of hook-filled, straightforward, true, hard rock riffs, namely on “Living in the Gutter” and “Rhapsody in Blue“.
Recorded by bassist Jaytanic Ritual at the band’s spiritual home of the Pet Food Factory in Marrickville, Sydney, "Mondo Tomorrow" was mixed by the notable Lachlan Mitchell, whose previous credits include The Vines and The Hard Ons. (Mitchell is also a member of the black metal outfit, Nazxul.) It is an album as sonically rich as anything in THE NEPTUNE POWER FEDERATION’s growing discography—broad, spacious, yet still firmly rooted in the core principles of pure rock and roll.
A video clip for the title track is available here: https://youtu.be/A1xYnz_Et4o
Tracklist:
1. Mondo Tomorrow
2. The Grip Of Death
3. And The Bones Decay
4. Living In The Gutter

POWERRAGE – Debut Album "Beast" in April 2026 via High Roller Records – Single / Lyric Video Premiere
 High Roller Records proudly announces the debut album of POWERRAGE, the new band featuring former Exciter guitarist John Ricci.
"Beast" is scheduled for April 24th 2026. It was mixed and mastered by Dan Swano at Unisound and features an album artwork by Mario Lopez.
Besides Ricci, POWERRAGE consists of bassist Todd Pilon (formerly of Witchkiller), drummer Lucas Dery and last but not least vocalist Jacques Bélanger, who previously sang on the Exciter albums "The Dark Command" (1997), "Blood Of Tyrants" (2000) and "New Testament" (2004).
While Ricci and Bélanger were both members of Exciter, John wants to make one thing perfectly clear: "Well, with this band I didn’t want to be another Exciter. It was time to move on. Even though Exciter was based around my guitar style, and it was a successful formula, I wanted to start from scratch and start all over again. Starting over and not depending on your past accomplishments is definitely a very difficult task but I feel confident enough I can make it happen. I wrote everything on 'Beast': music, lyrics, melodies. POWERRAGE is 100 % my musical vision. All eight songs are brand-new, no rehashed riffs from my Exciter days."
The first single, "Dark Wings", is premiered here a lyric video: https://youtu.be/w7c0ttbZg2I
Tracklist:
1. Dark Wings
2. Cremation Damnation
3. Dragon Man

EGREGORE – Second Album "It Echoes In The Wild" in March 2026 via 20 Buck Spin – Music Video Premiere
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces the sophomore full-length album of Canadian miscreants EGREGORE, entitled "It Echoes In The Wild", scheduled for March 20th 2026.
A music video for the leadoff single "Stair Into the Vortex" is available here: https://youtu.be/mYZXFlNahTo
Presenting something more expansive, elemental and untamed on "It Echoes In The Wild", the early occult Black Death Metal lunacy embraces atmospheric breadth equally alongside primitive force to delve deep into not only geographic wilds, but the psychological, esoteric and spiritual hinterlands at the edges of complete madness. Dark invocations and secret tongues draw forth echoes from forest and fen, cave and cliff, tempting the temporally tethered to receive the curse, all the while driven by a primal, unknowable sardonic menace.
Though the voyage be perilous, to succumb to "It Echoes In The Wild" is to become ensconced in a lawless dominion of the soul in service of a higher call. Mirroring nature’s unbridled forces and the hidden echoes that dwell within, EGREGORE’s second album takes the band’s mystical insanity and magickal perversion to the edge of the abyss and plunges forward.
Mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Dream Unending, Tomb Mold). Cover artwork by Luciana Lupe Vasconcelos.
Tracklist:
01. Cast Adrift
02. Voice on The West Wind
03. Stair Into the Vortex

CYCLONE – New Lyric Video – Comeback Mini Album "Known Unto God" out soon on High Roller Records
 Belgian thrashers CYCLONE have revealed another song from their new mini album "Known Unto God", coming on February 6th 2026 through High Roller Records in Europe.
The track "Nothing is Real" is premiered here with a lyric video: https://youtu.be/yqB8_3EY4vU
The roots of CYCLONE, who eventually became one of the most popular European thrash metal bands, go way back to 1981. They were originally formed in Aalst under the name of Centurion. As their music was getting harder and harder, it was decided to use a more cutting-edge moniker. A variety of demos was recorded before CYCLONE signed a deal with Roadrunner Records where they released their now legendary debut album "Brutal Destruction" in 1986. This was followed by "Inferior To None" on Justice Records in 1990. After that, the band disbanded.
Ending a long hiatus, CYCLONE decided to reform in 2018 and have appeared live regularly since then (playing on their own or at prestigious festivals like Headbangers Open Air in Germany).
Now, High Roller Records are extremely proud to present CYCLONE’s comeback mini album "Known Unto God", showcasing five brand-new compositions. The current line-up of the band consists of Maxime Deschamps (lead guitar), Jesse Van Den Bossche (rhythm guitar), Vincent Heyman (bass), Gabriel Deschamps (drums) and Guido Gevels (vocals).
Tracklist:
1. Eliminate
2. Known Unto God
3. I Fear Myself
4. Nothing is Real
5. The Truth Lies
