KARG - New Single "Annapurna" revealed - New Album "Marodeur" out soon via AOP Records
 Austrian post/atmospheric black metallers KARG present another track from their upcoming new album "Marodeur", set for release on April 18th 2025 via AOP Records.
"Annapurna" feat. Klara // Firtan: https://youtu.be/1FV2SWtbv6k
KARG was founded back in the summer of 2006 as a one-man project. Between 2010 & 2014 KARG was fully formed as a band to play gigs, formally in Germany, Austria and Central Europe. In the years till 2018 KARG was, like in its beginning, held as a one-man project and released to more albums. With the release of the sixth studio album “Dornenvögel”, KARG did celebrate its rebirth as a live band for a few special dates in 2018 & 2019. They did their first real tour supporting their 7th album “Traktat” in February 2020. Since then, and during the years of the pandemic, KARG recorded the EP “Resilienz”, and the albums “Resignation” and “Marodeur”, the second to be released April 18th via AOP Records, the first album by KARG written as a collective. The band will play a short album release tour through Europe in the release week of “Marodeur” together with Harakiri For The Sky and Swiss Trio E-L-R. More dates will follow.
The musical style of KARG is a furious, hysteric mixture of Atmospheric Black Metal and a huge load of Post Rock, with influences also from Grunge, Shoegaze and Post Punk. The influences from other genres than Black Metal evolved more and more within the last few years but were there in abridged form since day one. Textual KARG always was about the more melancholic side of life, such as broken relationships, lost love, estrangement, drug abuse, loss or suicide thoughts and depression. In contrast to many other bands KARG’s lyrics are as equal important than there music and are written in the dialect written near the Tennen Mountains, where frontman Michael J.J. Kogler grew up.
Tracklist:
1. Schnee ist das Blut der Geister
2. Findling
3. Yūgen
4. Verbrannte Brücken
5. Annapurna
6. Reminiszenzen einer Jugend
7. Kimm
8. Anemoia

LORD VIGO - New Album "Walk The Shadows" coming in May 2025 via High Roller Records - Video Clip Premiere
 German epic doom metal masters LORD VIGO have announced their sixth full-length "Walk The Shadows", set for release on May 30th 2025 via High Roller Records on all formats.
Following the highly acclaimed "Danse De Noir" (2020) and "We Shall Overcome" (2022), which formed part one and part two of a trilogy, the new album is not connected to this concept. Drummer, vocalist and keyboard player Vinz Clortho explains: "'Walk The Shadows' stands on its own and is not part of the trilogy. There is no coherent concept this time around, not a specific plot. These are all individual songs. It was quite a change for us after two very elaborate concept albums, and it was fun."
Songs like "Through A Glass Darkly", "Servant Of The Dark" or "The Triumph Of The Killing Heart" evoke some sort of Gothic Horror feel. If you delve into "Walk The Shadows", you will find a pretty eclectic mix of epic metal, gothic rock and post-punk, with traces of Sisters Of Mercy, Fields Of The Nephilim and even The Cure.
"Walk The Shadows" was recorded at Atomic Age Studio, produced / mixed by Vinz Clortho & Lord Vigo and mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony. The front cover artwork was created by Markus Vesper, the back cover by Mirkow Gastow.
A video clip for the album’s title track is available here: https://youtu.be/fBxybsuEaRs

POWER SURGE - New Track Premiere - Debut Album "Shadows Warning" via FHM Records in May 2025
 POWER SURGE proudly present a second song from their upcoming debut "Shadows Warning", to be released on May 2nd 2025 through FHM Records.
Check out the lyric video for "A Dream Into a Nightmare" at this location: https://youtu.be/T8YaHLfoV_Q
POWER SURGE is a new hard melodic metal band formed by Croatian singer Roko Nikolic and London based guitarist Srdjan Bilic, their music primarily evoking the late 1980s when bands were taking classic metal origins to the next step - whether ramping up the pace with faster technical riffing, introducing progressive twists, or adding a touch of AOR mystique.
The members of POWER SURGE are no strangers to the European metal scene - Roko has performed direct support to bands like Whitesnake and Armored Saint, leads his own band Flesh and is a long term collaborator of Jelusick. Srdjan has spent most of his career rising through the ranks of UK metallers Primitai, most recently leading them to a double appearance at Bloodstock festival, European dates with Firewind and Enforcer. The line-up is completed by Srdjan’s regular partners in crime, guitarist Calvin Lever and bassist Radek Koval. Drum duties are handled by Milan “The Yeqy” Jejina, a highly sought after drummer on the festival and arena circuit in the balkans.
Exclusive album presale at Keep It True Festival on 25th April 2025!

THE GREAT SEA - New Single / Visualizer Video - Debut Album "Noble Art Of Desolation" via AOP Records in April 2025
 THE GREAT SEA proudly present another song from their upcoming debut album "Noble Art Of Desolation", set for release on April 25th 2025 via AOP Records.
A visualizer video for the track "Upright In Nothing" is premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/aCdrvG6AM3k
Guitarist SH comments: "The song is about the cold and mystical ecstasy of a dead winter. A’s vocals are as cutting as the guitars, expressing the icy coldness reflected in the lyrics as well. Throwing grapes onto lips of frozen horses…"
As the world turns more modern with every second, THE GREAT SEA tries to hold something dear that seems to fade out: The origin of mankind in its most primordial way, with the burden of aeons on our back.
With the feeling of what once was and a touch of what should never be forgotten they strife through powerful aggression and sentimental bereavement, without repeating what has said so many times before. Through the waters of forgetfulness their debut-record glitters through frost, fallen leaves and the restless waves.
THE GREAT SEA was founded in 2022 by JR (Long Distance Calling) and SH (Ordeal & Plight) with the ambition to create an atmosphere that can keep up with the majesty of the mountains and the horrible depths of the seas, with a glimpse into the never ending darkness that is behind and before us. To give the sound what it deserves, they invited Phil Jonas (Crone, ex-Secrets Of The Moon) and Azathoth (Gràb, ex-Dark Fortress) to leave their mark on this record, creating a connection between this world and spheres that can never be spoken of. Both songs are integrated to the rest of the record with maximum black glue, giving the listener the experience of deep current.
This record is a journey to find yourself rooted back to where mankind belongs: home.
Tracklist:
1. The Water Remains
2. Eden Unfolded
3. The Maze
4. No Peace Among Men
5. Fading (Instrumental)
6. Upright In Nothing
7. Walking At The Edge Of Death

ANTROPOMORPHIA - New Single / Music Video revealed - New Album "Devoid of Light" through Testimony Records in May 2025
 Dutch death metal veterans AntropomorphiA have unleashed another song from their new album "Devoid of Light", coming on May 16th 2025 through Testimony Records on CD, LP and in digital formats.
Check out the video clip for "Unending Hunt" at this location: https://youtu.be/KDKWBt0WpyI
"Devoid of Light" was recorded and mixed by Marco Stubbe at Aftermath Studio / Kaatsheuvel (NL), accompanied by Daan Janzing at Pitchfork Studio / Tilburg (NL), and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound, Osterby (DE). The cover artwork was created by Richard Schouten.
When AntropomorphiA created the album over a period of two and a half years, the recording process was spread out through a much longer process due to a variety of reasons. During the whole time, the band never lost sight of their vision: to combine a wide variety of harsh musical textures including fanatical, white-eyed aggression, misanthropic and nihilistic lyrics, and dark emotions such as anger, despair, and pain among many others into dark and oppressive soundscapes.
AntropomorphiA were originally spawned from the foul stench of death in the Dutch city of Tilburg in 1990. At the time, they were pioneers, which soon turned them into a corner stone of the brutal music scene in the Netherlands. After releasing their first official demo "Bowel Mutilation" (1992) the band immediately captured a record deal and recorded the EP "Necromantic Love Songs" (1993) only a few months later, which became a cult classic. Despite the occasional hiatus, AntropomorphiA continuously cemented their status as underground icons with a string of acclaimed releases. The debut full-length "Pure" (1998) was followed by the albums "Evangelivm Nekromantia" (2012), "Rites ov Perversion "(2014), "Sermon ov Wrath" (2017), and "Merciless Savagery" (2019).
Their uncompromising approach and ever expanding vortex of musical textures that included a growing influx of black metal elements into AntropomorphiA's musical and visual DNA, the Dutch have accepted invitations by the most relevant festivals and performed at Brutal Assault, In Flammen Open Air, Summer Breeze, Motocultor, Netherlands Deathfest, Roadburn Festival, and Eindhoven Metal Meeting among many more live events.
Now AntropomorphiA are returning with "Devoid of Light" to show the world that they are still hungry to push the limits of both their own band and the death metal scene to new frontiers. Crank the volume up to 10 and let this album rip!
