BEDSORE - New Album "Dreaming The Strife For Love" via 20 Buck Spin - Track Premiere
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces "Dreaming The Strife For Love", the sophomore full-length of Italy’s BEDSORE. It will be released on November 29th 2024 on LP, CD, Tape and in digital formats.
With the new album, BEDSORE have jumped headfirst into the progressive warmth and obscure atmospheres of the 1970s. Inspired by the mysterious renaissance-era book ‘Hypnerotomachia Poliphili’, the album musically weaves the concepts of love as a battlefield, where desire and devotion are tested through trials and spiritual awakenings, with visions of pagan temples, mystical gardens, and arcane symbols.
Lush, symphonic, ambitious and romantic in scope, BEDSORE’s "Dreaming The Strife For Love" is 2024’s most surprising fusion of 70s Progressive and Dark Death Metal, old and new production elements, the passionate and the horrific. Like so many of their Italian brethren from Goblin and Devil Doll, to Death SS and Black Hole, Bedsore both embrace tradition and blow it up simultaneously.

NASTY SAVAGE - Lyric Video Premiere "Witches Sabbath" feat. Donald & John Tardy of Obituary - New Album out now via FHM Records
 To celebrate the release of their brand new album "Jeopardy Room", US Metal Legends NASTY SAVAGE have unveiled a lyric video for the revamped demo classic "Witches Sabbath", featuring Donald and John Tardy from OBITUARY as special guests!
Check it out at this location: https://youtu.be/4vQCAIJXPNc
The Tardy brothers comment: "It has long been know and well documented that early in Obituary’s career we drew inspiration from local bands in the Tampa area and non more than Nasty Savage. Not necessarily for the music style but for their 'never hold back' approach with over the top live show performances and the opportunity to follow their lead with album recording process at the legendary Morrisound Studios. We were very fortunate at such a young to be able to have conversations with Ronnie Galletti about the local music scene and follow in his footsteps on how to “promote” our band along with guidance on what to expect from the music industry. To this day we remain close friends and having the opportunity to re-record one of their all time classics 'Witches Sabbath' with them was a life long fantasy & dream come true for us. We had a blast with the band recording it and having Jim Morris mix it was just the icing on the cake!"

APOSTASIE - Debut Album "Non Est Deus" via Trollzorn Records - Lyric Video Premiere
 German melodic black metallers APOSTASIE proudly announce their debut album "Non Est Deus", set for release on November 29th 2024 in cooperation with Trollzorn Records.
A lyric video for the track "Theotókos" has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/hQm2z-ocqMw
APOSTASIE play melodic black metal with historical and atheist themes. In their first album "Non Est Deus", they narrate the "Historia Ecclesiastica Perversa" - the madness of dogmas, and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. The album discusses events in the so-called Christian "history of salvation", the Latin-Roman church history, as well as the closely related European history. These events and processes are staged as moments of religious madness, dogmatic contradiction and, at the same time, rational criticism and resistance. The events described cover the period from the so-called "turning point of time", i.e. the birth of Christ, to the so-called Reformation of the Latin-Roman church by Martin Luther.
Tracklist:
1. Intro
2. Non est Deus
3. Theotókos
4. Isapóstolos

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.”

You can listen to the tilte track here: https://youtu.be/q3FQ6810UJ8
ENTOMOPHTHORA was formed during a conversation about zombie flies in 2022, and consists of Roger Isaksen (vocals, bass, guitar) and Tom Wahl (guitar), both veterans in the Norwegian metal scene. Their earlier and current work includes bands like Vecordious, Nexorum, Maelström, Exeloume, Bethzaida, Killing for Company and Keep of Kalessin.

The result is their debut album "Instinctual Diseas", delivering eight tracks of powerful guitars, intense vocals and rapid rhythms. It was engineered and mixed by Roger Isaksen at Xhaos Xhult Studio and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studios.

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".
Beware of this massive maggot swarm, dissecting everyone and everything!

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

THE GATES OF SLUMBER - New Album Announcement & Track Premiere - Svart Records
 Indiana’s True Doom Metal legends THE GATES OF SLUMBER return with a new album out on Svart Records in November! The self-titled album is the band’s first full-length offering since "The Wretch" from 2011.
First taste from the upcoming sixth album is the single "Embrace The Lie", an ode to the lying news media and political talking heads.
https://youtu.be/LrMBHB00ol8
"I never intended to pick up with THE GATES OF SLUMBER ever again in 2014. While I did start the band and wrote most of the first album it was never intended to be a one man show." - Karl Simon, 2024
THE GATES OF SLUMBER was formed by Karl Simon in 1998. Various people were in and out of the group between 1998 and 2001, when the "Blood Encrusted Deth Axe" demo was recorded with Jamie Walters of Boulder on drums and Dr. Phibes/Athenar (later to form the cult black metal band Midnight) on bass. In 2003 Jason McCash took over the bass duties and was a long-time member of the band until his untimely demise in 2014, after which Simon decided it was time to call it quits. That was until 2019 when the renowned metal festival Hell Over Hammaburg wanted to bring the band back on stage to perform at the festival’s 2020 edition. Simon reformed the band with its original member Chuck Brown on drums and Steve Janiak on bass and got back to work. “We’d been asked several times to play Hell Over Hammaburg. But there was no “we” to play. The germ of the idea started. We started re-learning songs from the first LP. It wasn’t too long into the rehearsals that we started coming up with new songs.”, states Simon.
After a reunion tour was finished, Covid kicked in to slow down the process. Half of the album was already written but the remaining half took its time, and the songs were left to stew in their juices. With bastard heavy songs honoring the Doom Metal greats Saint Vitus and Penance, straight forward bangers, lyrics inspired by the Black Death and John Carpenter’s The Fog, THE GATES OF SLUMBER is a truly crushing album and a must listen to any Doom Metal fanatic.
Having toured with Pentagram, Reverend Bizarre, Cathedral, Slough Feg, Earthride, and Weedeater in addition to getting praised by Decibel Magazine such as "THE GATES OF SLUMBER have quietly gone about the business of becoming one of the best heavy metal bands in the world.", it’s safe to say The Gates of Slumber play some of the heaviest metal on this planet.
"The Gates Of Slumber" will be available on Svart exclusive black/white marble vinyl, limited transparent blue vinyl, black vinyl, CD, and digital platforms on November 29th, 2024.
