HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY - Sophomore Album "The Mortuary Hauntings" via Pulverised Records - Track Premiere
 Horror aficionados HOUSE BY THE CEMETARY are rousing the undead once again with their sophomore album "The Mortuary Hauntings".
With a tried-and-true formula of pummeling riffs and mid-paced Death Metal that throbs to herd a wall of zombies, Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, ex-Bone Gnawer, Massacre, etc) and Mike Hrubovcak (ex-Monstrosity, Azure Emote, ex-Vile, etc) cleverly disintegrate and reconstruct their love for Metal and old horror films; fortifying the two genres into an unwavering subculture hallmark but with a stylistic departure on their debut. “The Mortuary Hauntings” continues with the endearing worship of retro-Death Metal and the timeless devotion to cult horror-flicks.
Check out the new track "Cadavers Emerge" at this location: https://youtu.be/SOJHxsOKNpY

ACOD - Samael Cover "Black Trip" revealed - New Abum "Versets Noirs" via Hammerheart Records
 ACOD have revealed their cover version of Samael's "Black Trip", taken from the band's upcoming album "Versets Noirs" which will be out on April 26th via Hammerheart Records on CD, LP and digital!
Check out the lyric video at this location: https://youtu.be/Nmt8S4pl27E
Fred / ACOD comments: "In 1994, Swiss band Samael released one of the most influential albums in the black metal world. The dark, hard-hitting opening track on this masterpiece takes us back to those glory years. We wanted to pay tribute to these architects of the black kingdom."
Jerome adds: "'Ceremony of Opposites' had a significant impact on us, and the title fits perfectly with the theme of the occult journey you'll find in 'Versets Noirs'. It's interesting to do your own version of a track as important as the one you knew as a teenager. Many bands are content to cover most of the famous names, like Slayer etc... Our influences are broader, but mainly based on the period from the 80s to the 2000s."
Tracklist:
1. Habentis Maleficia
2. The Son of a God (The Heir of Divine Blood)
3. A Thousand Lives in a Second
4. May This World Burn
5. Black Trip (Samael cover)

ASPERNAMENTUM - Debut EP via Soulseller Records - Track Premiere
 Soulseller Records proudly announces the debut release of Swedish Black Metal act ASPERNAMENTUM.
The EP entitled "Primal Judgement Manifesto", clocking in over 25 minutes, will be released on May 17th 2024 on MCD, MLP and digitally. It was recorded at Wing Studios in 2022 and mixed and mastered by Sverker Widgren.
ASPERNAMENTUM is the creation and vision of multi-instrumentalist D. Johansson. In a scene flooded with vague mindsets and a artificial approach to meaningful and pure Black Metal, ASPERNAMENTUM carves it’s own path fuelled by the true essence of Satanism. "Primal Judgement Manifesto" is the culmination of a seed planted years ago. It’s the first step and presentation of Aspernamentum and it signifies the core elements of the true spirit of black metal. Primal, simple and honest.
You can listen to the opening track "Epiphanies Of The Night's Light" at this location: https://youtu.be/urzQamVl0uM

NADSVEST - Debut Full-Length Album via Soulseller Records - Track Premiere
 Serbian Black Metal entity NADSVEST have announced their debut full-length album, "Slovo meseca i krvi", set for release on May 17th 2024 via their new label home Soulseller Records on CD, LP and digitally.
NADSVEST, comprised of Serbian native "S" (Gorgoroth) and New Zealander "A" (Barshesketh), is a hellish combination of the first, second-wave and bestial black metal scenes, with unhealthy doses of heavy metal and nods to Serbian folk music. Lyrical themes deal with the black arts through the lens of the darker aspects of Serbian folklore. Conceptually, “Slovo meseca i krvi” is an epic poem exploring the stages in the process of awakening the primal werewolf force in the warrior, the triumph of the spirit and the ultimate sacrifice of the flesh. The sound was forged in Sonorous Studio with the goal of evoking the noise of the tortured soul.
The first single "Vihori boja" is streaming now at this location: https://youtu.be/bL9auqYaYZ0

CRYPT SERMON - New Album "The Stygian Rose" via Dark Descent Records - Video Clip Premiere
 Dark heavy metallers CRYPT SERMON unveil their bewitching new album, "The Stygian Rose", set for release on June 14th 2024 via Dark Descent Records on CD, LP, cassette and digital formats.
Featuring guitarist Steve Jansson (Daeva, Unrest), vocalist Brooks Wilson (Unrest), drummer Enrique Sagarnaga (Daeva, The Silver), guitarist Frank Chin (Daeva), bassist Matt Knox (Horrendous, The Silver), and keyboardist Tanner Anderson (Obsequiae, Majesties), the Philadelphia-based sextet parlayed their time away from the spotlight into a grander, more mysterious CRYPT SERMON. The interflow of doom and heavy metals underpins "The Stygian Rose", but these boundaries are effortlessly transcended. From the blistering solo salvo of "Glimmers in the Underworld" and the commanding rhythm of "Heavy is the Crown of Bone" to the evocative Near Eastern vibes of "Thunder (Perfect Mind)" and the intricate, masterful journey of the 11-minute title track, "The Stygian Rose" epitomizes the band's burgeoning musical and conceptual prowess.
CRYPT SERMON tracked "The Stygian Rose" with acclaimed producer Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Cirith Ungol) and engineer Aidan Elias (Blood Incantation, Wayfarer) at Redwoods in Philadelphia. Although Rizk handled "Out of the Garden" (2015) and "The Ruins of Fading Light" (2019), the team captured the band's multi-genre chaplet in a new light this time. Singles "Glimmers in the Underworld," "Heavy is the Crown of Bone," and "Thunder (Perfect Mind)" are frighteningly effective in their [Neil] Kernon-esque production. At the same time, deep album tracks "Scrying Orb," "Down in the Hollow," and "The Stygian Rose" cast long, mysterious shadows. Rizk summoned from CRYPT SERMON the same big-stage sound producers Dave Jerden and Rick Rubin coaxed out of Alice in Chains and Trouble, respectively.
Adorned with captivating artwork and featuring an enchanting (yet dark) lyrical concept by Wilson, this is CRYPT SERMON’s level-up moment. Dive into "The Stygian Rose" and experience its rich rewards.
Check out the offiical video for "Heavy is the Crown of Bone" at this location: https://youtu.be/Edx1tziAbZA
Tracklist:
1. Glimmers in the Underworld
2. Thunder (Perfect Mind)
3. Down in the Hollow
4. Heavy is the Crown of Bone

6. The Stygian Rose

KAWIR - New Lyric Video revealed - New Album "Kydoimos" via Soulseller Records
 Greek Cult Black Metallers KAWIR have revealed a second song from their upcoming new album "Kydoimos", set for release on April 19th 2024 via Soulseller Records.
Check out the lyric video for "Hecatonchires" at this location: https://youtu.be/H30NJ8f3t7g
KAWIR formed in the early Greek black metal scene of the 90s and have been exploring Greek mythology, literature, and mysteries for 30 years - and no other band really captures the essence of those stories and times the same way. The name of the new album derives from one of the Makhai (Μάχαι,) Ancient Greek daemons (personifications/spirits) of war. Kydoimos in particular refers to the personification of the cacophony and bedlam of battle.
"Kydoimos", their ninth overall full-length album, sees KAWIR achieve new heights in both unrelenting heaviness and epic atmosphere!

STRYCHNOS - Sophomore Album "Armageddon Patronage" via Dark Descent Records - Track Premiere
 Dark Descent Records proudly announces "Armageddon Patronage", the second album from Copenhagen’s purveyors of ‘accursed death’ STRYCHNOS, set for release on May 17th 2024 on CD, LP, cassette and in digital formats.
Listen to the first preview track "Winds Warning the Final Storm" at this location: https://youtu.be/M09KXx6gmpw
Armageddon Patronage embodies the immense drive of a band operating at full throttle, refining their distinct blend of extreme metal bound to no god, master, or genre. Following a string of intense and blood-stained festival performances STRYCHNOS is now the name on the underground’s lips. Propelled by this vast momentum, the band toiled tirelessly to record and release "Armageddon Patronage" less than two years after their debut.
"This release will showcase a natural continuation of what A Mother’s Curse began," reflects bassist/vocalist Martin Leth Andersen. "The band seek to refine and push further key elements from the debut - in ways of both aggressiveness and the more atmospheric parts. This follow-up also showcases an array of new details like alternative instrumentation, vocal-variations, intros, outros, and a couple of noticeable guest appearances."
Rare is the band within these realms that improves so exponentially with each new release. Do not miss the flight of STRYCHNOS… for one may never know how long the underground can contain them.
"Armageddon Patronage" was recorded and mixed by Lasse Ballade at Copenhagen’s Ballade Studios and mastered by none other than Necromorbus’ infamous Tore Stjerna. Cover artwork by Phoebus Moreleón / Lïv & Död.
Tracklist:
1. Winds Warning the Final Storm
2. Armageddon Patronage
3. Choking Salvation
4. Endless Void Dimension
5. Pale Black Birds
6. Stanken af Dyd
7. Sweeping Storm of Suicide
8. Nattevandrerinden
