NORDJEVEL - New Single "Gnavhòl" via Indie Recordings
 NORDJEVEL unleash the title track of their upcoming album "Gnavhòl", to be released via Indie Recordings later this year, and give us a detrimental taste of what lies ahead!
"Gnavhòl" is a sinister and captivating track that leads the listeners into the atmospheric darkness of hell. With Norwegian lyrics they truly capture the raw nature of true black metal.
“From the stench of rotting flesh and the howling of twisted minds, we give you Gnavhól!” - NORDJEVEL
Official Video / Track Stream: https://youtu.be/HSz6K4RugUE +++ https://orcd.co/gnavhol
NORDJEVEL entered the international black metal scene in 2015 and spread like a plague, capturing audiences at festivals such as Inferno, Kaltenbach Open Air, Wacken, Hellfest, Bloodstock, Maryland Deathfest and In Flammen Open Air. The band was founded by Doedsadmiral, and consists of established musicians from bands such as Ragnarok, Myrkskog and Dark Funeral.
NORDJEVEL`s brutal and true take on black metal impressed. Their atmospheric and committed sound paired with high technical finesse, unique interplay and raw, unfiltered imagery, has the chills go wild on any black metal fan. With their self-titled debut album in 2016, they entered the black metal scene like a freezing storm and quickly became a force to be reckoned with. In 2019, NORDJEVEL released the follow-up album “Necrogenecis”, and in 2021 they released the EP “Fenriir”. Both releases showing the hugeness NORDJEVEL is capable of, receiving raving reviews and top scores from press and fans all over the world.
All of NORDJEVEL's releases has made it to numerous “best of the year lists”, and they have quickly proved their position in the international black metal scene. A new full-length album is now on the horizon in 2022.

KAMPFAR – New Single "Urkraft" via Indie Recordings
 Indie Recordings proudly presents KAMPFAR's second new single, "Urkraft"!
https://youtu.be/NqnpLy3yHDs +++ https://orcd.co/urkraft
Band statment: "The second step. Out the door, the creaking sound of it shutting behind you, and off you wander into the valley. We have written an album, and we have recorded it. It was created and partially captured at home, in our little refuge, among the trees, belowthe mountain tops, right there by the river that is never silent. There are six parts, six stories, six conflicts, collected under one banner soon to be named for the world to hear. You will get to experience each one on its own, before they are released together in the fall. For now, part two is ready for your ears. Join us and we will find true riches together."
KAMPFAR is one of the original Norwegian Black Metal acts. Approaching 30 years of existence and having grown to become one of extreme music’s premier live outfits Kampfar prevails and continue to be a force to be reckoned with.

DEAD HEAD - New Album 'Slave Driver' via Hammerheart Records - Video Clip 'Polar Vortex' revealed
 Dutch Extreme Thrashers DEAD HEAD have premiered another song from their upcoming new album "Slave Driver"!
Check out the video clip for "Polar Vortex" at this location: https://youtu.be/U684ilZO2iQ
The band’s seventh full-length will be unleashed on April 29th 2022 via Hammerheart Records on CD, LP and digitally. It was recorded by Erwin Hermsen at Toneshed Studio (Trouble, Pestilence, Malevolent Creation) and features an artwork by Vladimir Chebakov (Katalepsy, Hidious Divinity).
DEAD HEAD have been around since the late 80`s which was a golden and extremely fertile period for Thrash Metal, and it shows. Their style is just about as aggressive as Thrash can logically get before having to refer to them as Death Metal whilst thankfully managing to retaining a slight 80's vibe.
Everything about "Slave Driver" just ooozes unadulterated seething hatred, and aural violence. It pushes the boundaries of Thrash Metal once again, intense and aggressive in its purest form available!
Tracklist:
01. Acolyte
02. Grim Side Valley
03. Frequency Illusion
04. Southfork
05. Drawn into the Wire
06. Polar Vortex
07. Grooves of Envy
08. Parabellum
09. Fear Scraper
10. Horrors of Hades

KAMPFAR - New Single "Lausdans under stjernene" via Indie Recordings
 Indie Recordings proudly presents KAMPFAR's new single, "Lausdans under stjernene"!
The return from the mountains is nigh. The four voices bringing with them a hexalogy of stories to share with the world, one by one, until the full picture is as vivid as the starry sky of Hemsedal on a crisp winter night. More will be known in time, until then, dance like the Devil is watching and there is no morning in sight.

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
