FER DE LANCE - Debut Full-Length "The Hyperborean" in April 2022 via Cruz Del Sur Music
 On April 22th 2022, FER DE LANCE will release their debut full-length album "The Hyperborean" via Cruz Del Sur Music. The follow-up to their 2020 "Colossus" EP was again produced and engineered by Matt Russell at Altered States Studio in Chicago.
Occupying the hard-to-find place between "Hammerheart"-era BATHORY, and Rainbow's "Rising”, FER DE LANCE have expanded upon "Colossus" with seven new compositions that are rife with intricate and melodic guitar riffs, powerful and soaring vocals, and crisp acoustic guitar arrangements. The band has also expanded their lineup, bringing on the talents of former SEPT OF MEMNON drummer, Scud, and Mandy Martillo of MIDNIGHT DICE and SATAN's HALLOW on acoustic guitars and vocals. MP again played electric and acoustic guitars in addition to lead vocals and tin whistle. Now with a full-time drummer in the band, Rusty focuses solely on bass. All joined in on background vocals and choirs.
"The goal is always artistic progression," comments the band. "We wanted to keep the atmosphere established on Colossus, but we were determined to expand on that statement with our debut album. The album is venomous, yet also melancholic. In addition to incorporating more diverse soundscapes and dynamics, the songs are heavier, more complex and have a deeper underlying meaning."
"The Hyperborean'' title means "one beyond the north wind." According to the band, it combines classical myth with more modern ideas regarding the "idealized" North. The cover artwork represents the album's journey from the Mediterranean Sea to the Arctic North and was painted by Adam Burke with the layout elegantly designed by Annick Giroux.
"The album tells the story of a mariner,” says the band. “Leaving behind the depravity and injustice of the "civilized" world, the mariner travels north in search of a land devoid of pain and suffering. At the forefront of the artwork, the temple represents both the starting place and the civilization that the mariner aims to leave behind. The aurora borealis and the mountain of ice represent the desolate destination and the stars above, the guide." The band continues, "The mariner and his crew follow the stars in the hope of salvation. However, what they find is not what they expect and those left unburied never cross Acheron."
In addition to already working on material for further releases, FER DE LANCE is currently slated to perform at the prestigious Keep It True festival in Germany this April. Additional live performances in the USA are also in the works.
Tracklist:
1. Aurora Borealis
2. The Mariner
3. Ad Bestias
4. Sirens
5. Northern Skies
6. Arctic Winds
7. The Hyperborean

BLOOD TORRENT - New Full-Length Album "Void Universe" via Trollzorn - Details and Lyric Video revealed
 Trollzorn proudly announces the new full-length release of German Black Metallers BLOOD TORRENT!
"Void Universe" will be released on April 8th 2022.
BLOOD TORRENT was founded in 2005 and have developed an own individual style during the years. They fuse their Black Metal sound with progressive elements and influences of classic Hard Rock and Punk. After several self releases, the band now presents their new album via Trollzorn Records, offering a natural sounding recording, especially considering the drums and guitars.
“Void Universe” is not a concept album itself. However, there is a recurring theme within its lyrics: it is about the argument of self-extinction within the Fermi paradox. It raises the question of what would happen if society could start again.
A lyric video for the track "The Cosmic Breakdown" can be checked out at this location: https://youtu.be/QitTSu9DPT4
Tracklist:
01. The Renascence
02. A Knowledge of Light
03. Decay and Transformation
04. The Cosmic Breakdown
05. Elemental Scorn
06. Necromass
07. Raised Knives
08. Phantom Propaganda

VANUM - New track premiere / New album out in April 2022 via Eisenwald
 American Black Metal act VANUM has premiered a new song! Taken from the upcoming album "Legend", out April 22nd 2022 via Eisenwald (Europe) and Profound Lore Records (North America/Rest Of World) on CD/Digital/Tape, Vinyl out at a later point.
Check out "Adversary" at this location: https://youtu.be/U9IB5mnsJ8c
After a period of smoldering dormancy, VANUM reappears, blazing and alive, with their third full-length album, Legend. Continuing the triumphant march of previous works, but raising the stakes even higher, Legend finds Vanum both expanding and refining their approach, and in turn delivering their most fully realized recording to date.
The core of the band's sound remains unchanged: unyielding and grandiose Black Metal that traces a hellish through-line from the power of mid-era Bathory, through the riff-craft of the Hellenic masters, to the bitter fury of the Slavic greats. But amidst the pantheon of familiar influences, new touchstones become ever more apparent. With Legend, the continuum is charted further back and to new lands. Within the throes of the Black Metal maelstrom, echoes of classic heavy metal are increasingly recognizable, further bolstering Vanum‘s towering melodic sensibility and epic songwriting. Coupled with a deeper and expanded exploration and use of ambience and synthesizer, the album is imbued with a richness and sense of majesty that underpins each of its five towering compositions.
Due to the global chaos of 2020/21, initial recording plans had to be scrapped in favor of extremely detailed demo and pre-production work, followed by a remote-tracking process. As the album was recorded in various locations throughout the country, producer Andrew Oswald was enlisted to oversee technical and performance nuance from afar before handling the mixing duties in which he meticulously sculpted the thunderous, full sound of the album. Adorned with an original painting by Petri Ala-Maunus, the entire package from concept through composition, execution, and presentation is one unified by a sense of strength, power, and romantic awe.
While musically dynamic as ever, the overriding theme of the album is one of victory. Victory amidst bloodshed; triumph amidst loss. This is Black Metal as spiritual war, the aural embodiment of ancient combat and heroic struggle. This is Legend.
Tracklist:
1. Adversary
2. The Gateway And The Key
3. Frozen In Vile Illumination
4. Legend
5. Beneath The Pillars Of Earth And Air

AD NAUSEAM - Debut album available on vinyl for the first time - Lavadome Productions
 Italian death metal visionaries AD NAUSEAM have just released their 2015 debut album "Nihil Quam Vacuitas Ordinatum Est" on double-LP vinyl edition for the first time via Lavadome Productions.
The album has been remastered to obtain a more in-depth and improved sound as well as gain more dynamic range. A dedicated master for vinyl has been sourced from the new remaster. T
The band, which is known for developing its own equipment to self-produce the sound of its records, comments:
"The mastering of "Nihil Quam Vacuitas Ordinatum Est" started to sound way too far from being perfect to our ears, despite that we are aware it was the best result we could get back then, and it still sounds cool. For this reason, a remaster was in the making since the beginning of 2017. What you can hear now is a high dynamic range remastered version where particular attention has been paid to improve its clarity, punch and dynamics."
Tracklist:
1. My Buried Dream
2. Key To Timeless Laws
3. La Maison Diev
4. Into The Void Eye
5. Terror Haze
6. Lost In The Antiverse
7. The Black Veil Of Original Flaw
8. Superimposing Mere Will And Sheer Need

CRYPTWORM - Debut Full-Length Album via Me Saco Un Ojo and Pulverised Records - "Spewing Mephitic Putridity"
 "Spewing Mephitic Putridity", the debut full-length of UK deathers CRYPTWORM, will be released on March 11th 2022 via Me Saco Un Ojo Records (LP), Pulverised Records (CD) and Extremely Rotten Productions (MC).
The opening track, "Disgorged Chunks of Life", can be checked out here: Youtube +++ Bandcamp
Through the album we see the rib-splitting heaviness grow as each of the fantastically ferocious elements of the bands 2 EP’s and split seem to be pushed further into overdrive. The faster parts are even more frantic, the slower parts more drudging and the crawling mids ooze slimy soundscapes that only the most vomitous snarls could penetrate them. Primitive yet full of dynamics (though only the most grotesque ones), this is Death Metal that will have every orifice in ecstatic convulsions as the cadaver mutates to the rhythmic destruction throughout.
The artwork was created by Skaðvaldur.
Tracklist:
1. Disgorged Chunks of Life
2. Immense Cerebral Decomposition
3. Reduced to Liquified Mass
4. Disembowelment (Draped in Gore)
5. Premature Entombment
6. Septic Phlegm Asphyxia
7. Amorphous Transmutations
8. Spewing Mephitic Putridity
Line-up:
Tibor Hanyi - Vocals / Guitars / Bass
Joe Knight - Drums
