CONCRETE WINDS - New Album out now via Sepulchral Voice Records - Full Album Stream
 CONCRETE WINDS are back to push spikes, needles, and barbed wire into your flesh and ears!
Their highly anticipated third album, self-titled "Concrete Winds", is out now via Sepulchral Voice Records on CD, LP and MC formats. It was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory - with the help of Matti Mäkelä - at Rorysounds Studios in Uppsala, Sweden.
Listen to this sonic beast in its entirety at this location: https://youtu.be/uvEwdrq97Es
CONCRETE WINDS have always gone further than any recent extreme metal outfit and leave out everything that's established in music, cut off what became comfortable in metal, and blow away what still feels "appropriate" in extreme metal. It seems that this once-urgent attitude to explore limits finally has a new helmsman. Nevertheless, they stay ever loyal to the elder originators of bloody metal mayhem, but evolve those inspirations taken from masters like Morbid Angel, Necrovore, and Repulsion to a very unique and nearly "reference-less" hellwitchin’ sound.
Order options: https://www.hrrecords.de/SEPULCHRAL-VOICE
Tracklist:
1. Permanent Dissonance
2. Virulent Glow
3. Daylight Amputations
4. Infernal Repeater
5. Subterranean Persuasion
6. Hell Trance
7. Systematic Distortion
8. Demented Gospels
9. Pounding Devotion

FIRTAN - New Album "Ethos" via AOP Records - Final Single available
 FIRTAN have revealed the final single for their new album "Ethos", coming on September 13th 2024 via AOP Records.
You can listen to "Contra Vermes" here: https://youtu.be/eteqnFVE8Es
With three albums and two EPs to their name, FIRTAN's discography showcases a clear and audible progression. Their fourth album "Ethos" promises to be their deepest, rawest, and heaviest yet. It delves into serious existential themes in an abstract manner, contrasting decline and opportunity within an ambivalent context. This juxtaposition is reflected in the music itself, confronting listeners with the harshness and sonic tension between harmony and dissonance, revealing the meaning and emptiness of existence.
"Ethos" will be following the critically acclaimed "Marter" and stands as a testament to the vibrant dynamics within the German Black Metal Scene. The album will feature guest performances from J.J. (Harakiri for the Sky, Karg) and L.G. (Ellende). Expect to be immersed in a world where melody and chaos collide, where unapologetic riffing and haunting melodies guide you through the shadows of the human condition.

IMMORTAL BIRD - New Album "Sin Querencia" via 20 Buck Spin - Details and Track Premiere
 Chicago’s IMMORTAL BIRD make their long-awaited return with their third album, "Sin Querencia", to be released on October 18th 2024 though 20 Buck Spin.
You can listen to a first song entitled "Plastered Sainthood" at this location: https://youtu.be/C6d1kUQMssg
Abandoning genre constraints, IMMORTAL BIRD coherently fuse elements of Death and Black Metal, Hardcore tumult, a dose of their city’s Noise Rock agitation, and a compositional complexity that recalls stalwart boundary-pushers like Gorguts and Ulcerate. The trio have evolved their collaboration to forge a cacophonous maelstrom of jagged metal intricacy with a surgical clarity, seeing the combination of Nate Madden on guitar and Matt Korajczyk on drums at its most centered and engaging.
Recording as a 3-piece on "Sin Querencia", Madden recorded the majority of bass along with multi-instrumentalist bandmates Rae Amitay and Matt Korajczyk. Vocalist Rae Amitay’s thought-provoking lyrical range weaves through visceral subject matter, threading together allegory and allusion in vehement admonishments of hypocrisy, as well as confronting our brutal complicity and complacency in our current reality.
"Sin Querencia" marks a new milestone in IMMORTAL BIRD’s now 10+ year history as the band’s most structurally extreme and wide-ranging performance to date.
Tracklist:
1. Bioluminescent Toxins
2. Plastered Sainthood
3. Consanguinity
4. Propagandized
5. Ocean Endless
6. Synthetic Alliances
7. Contrarian Companions
8. Sin Querencia

ATARAXIE - New Extreme Doom/Death Album "Le Déclin" via Ardua Music & Weird Truth Productions - Details and Teaser revealed
 Extreme doom/death veterans ATARAXIE have revealed a teaser for their upcoming fifth full-length album "Le Déclin", set for release on October 25th 2024 via Ardua Music & Weird Truth Productions on CD, double LP, tape and digitally.
Check it out here: https://youtu.be/bHjmWphWf3E
Born in the fall of 2000 in Rouen (France), ATARAXIE take their main inspiration from the early 90s doom/death metal scene and slowest 80s/90s death metal bands. Thus, their genre mainly includes old school death metal parts and classic doom metal ones slowed down in the most extreme way but also various influences from the bleakest metal genres. Their music plays a lot with contrasts in general: ultra slow crushing parts alternate with furious blast beats, mournful parts with more epic ones, and vocals also varies from really deep grunts to tormented screams. Topped by a triple (!) guitar attack, ATARAXIE is a must for fans of diSEMBOWELMENT, Evoken, early My Dying Bride, Morgion, Cathedral, Esoteric, Asunder, Mournful Congregation, Spectral Voice or Incantation.
Lyrically, "Le Déclin" pushes the themes that were already present on its predecessor "Résignés" with a focus on subjects like manipulation and obfuscation of the masses, the cult of selfishness, dehumanization towards a parasiting virtual life, global warming insolubility, and reflects the unique musical style of ATARAXIE.
Tracklist:
1. Le Déclin
2. Vomisseurs De Vide
3. Glory Of Ignominy
4. The Collapse
Line-up:
Frédéric Patte-Brasseur - Guitar
Hugo Gaspar - Guitar
Jonathan Théry - Bass / Vocals
Julien Payan - Guitar
Pierre Sénécal - Drums

MINDLESS SINNER - New Album "Metal Merchants" via High Roller Records - Lyric Video Premiere
 High Roller Records proudly announces the new full-length album of Sweden's MINDLESS SINNER!
"Metal Merchants" will be released on October 25th 2024 on CD, LP and MC versions.
Flying the flag for traditional Swedish Heavy Metal, tunes like the up-tempo opener “Speed Demon” (also the first single) or the title track “Metal Merchants” (a song about the metal community) show how much experience MINDLESS SINNER have gained over the years since their initial foundation in the early 80's.
Vocalist Christer Göransson comments: "I guess 'Metal Merchants' picks up where 'Poltergeist' left off in 2020. We feel like 'Metal Merchants' is the best we have ever done. Overall, 'Poltergeist' got great reviews and it was a very strong record. But it was released like a month before the Covid outbreak struck, so I guess it was left to oblivion. The material on 'Metal Merchants' is particularly strong, and also the production and the cover are great."
A lyric video for the track "Speed Demon“ has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/uPMGa4x-h-8
