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!

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

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

ZEPTER – New Track Premiere – Debut Full-Length Album out soon on High Roller Records
 Up-and-coming Austrian Heavy Metallers ZEPTER have premiered a final advance track for their self-titled debut album, coming on February 20th 2026 via High Roller Records.
You can listen to "The Lords" here: https://youtu.be/7tVxFkkSBDQ
ZEPTER started in January 2024, heavily inspired by the NWOBHM. A few months later, an EP called "Inferno" was issued on cassette in a limited edition of 100 copies through Ironbound (a vinyl version on Fucking Kill Records and a CD edition via Witches Brew followed shortly after).
Guitarist/vocalist Lukas describes the debut album as "authentic heavy metal of the old school, with lots of catchy hooks and tasty twin-guitar harmony parts. It should come across like a mixture of Thin Lizzy and UFO of the Schenker era, combined with elements of early speed metal by the likes of Acid and Slayer, as if they had been already around in 1978."
"Zepter" was recorded, mixed and mastered at Support Nothing Studios by Johnnyfromtherotten. Artwork by Sebastian Frigerio.

1. Slasher On The Highway
2. Everlasting

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

ENSANGUINATE – Video Premiere – Second Album "Death Saturnalia" out soon on Soulseller Records
 Blackened death ritualists ENSANGUINATE have released another song from their upcoming sophomore album ”Death Saturnalia”, scheduled for February 6th 2026 via Soulseller Records.

ENSANGUINATE is Slovenia’s putrid entry into the occult black/death metal grimoire of old, performing dark arts & sinister sounds.
The band comments: "'Death Saturnalia' is a monument to the female form in occultism, a topic so multifaceted it demanded a broadened musical palette; our metal of death now burns with even more zeal for the old ways and is bolstered by a dose of '70s mysticism and black metal fury. Join us in our fanatical ode to the burning love of Kali - Ereshkigal - Lilith."

UNEARTHLY RITES - Second Album "Tortural Symphony Of The Flesh" out in April 2026 via Svart Records - Track Premiere
 UNEARTHLY RITES delivers filthy, mold-ridden death metal deeply rooted in the muddy sewers of the Finnish DIY punk and hardcore scene. The band will release its second full-length album, "Tortural Symphony Of The Flesh", via Svart Records on April 3rd 2026.
The album's lead single "Solstice" is out now with a visualiser, watch it here: https://youtu.be/hCQq44JZnno
Formed in 2020, UNEARTHLY RITES has previously released an EP (s/t, 2021) and one full-length album ("Ecdysis", 2024), which explored dystopian visions of colonialist greed and ecocide. The forthcoming second album expands and intensifies this thematic core; "Tortural Symphony of the Flesh" presents a total meltdown of nature, humanity, and machine, and of transgression, lust and power. Musically, the album advances the band’s crushing riffs and characteristically moldy grimness toward a more malicious and brutal soundscape. UNEARTHLY RITES does not merely document the atrocities of capitalist society but explicitly calls for action in defense of nature and the rights of ethnic, gender and sexual minorities.
The band comments: “'Tortural Symphony of the Flesh' deepens our critique of capitalist oppression as a force that devastates nature through ecocide, erodes minority rights, and promotes conservationist ideology that ultimately reinforces colonialist power. Nature and humanity are inseparably fused in imagery of metal, roots, mud, flesh, and ice, forming a visceral rejection of fossil-industrial society. Queer BDSM lust and the words of William Blake are offered as an antidote to the christofascist trajectory.”
The album’s lead single "Solstice" is a song about death and returning home, a threshold passage in which life is returned to the soil through the obliteration of the ritual body in extreme winter cold. Slow heavy riffs that rip the skin, crush your bones and rot your intestines.
UNEARTHLY RITES will be promoting the upcoming album in Finland in March, followed by a release tour around Europe in April-May together with Sonic Poison delivering full speed combat grind.
Tracklist:
01. Tuonen tulijat, manan menijät
02. Sokli Fields Forever / A Radiative Picnic
