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.

DISARRAY - Debut Full-Length "Religious Disease" via Jawbreaker Records - Swedish Thrash Metal / Track Premiere
 Jawbreaker Records proudly announces the debut full-length from rising Swedish thrashers DISARRAY, entitled "Religious Disease", set for release on October 25th 2024 on all formats.
Since their start in 2022, DISARRAY has played extensively in Stockholm’s underground scene and released the mini-album "Evil is Reborn" in the summer of 2023, which caught the eye of Jawbreaker Records. Fast forward to 2024 and it is time to unleash "Religious Disease", a full-on frontal assault of deadly thrash metal. Unlike the watered-out, so-called thrash metal that the contemporary scene has become used to these days, DISARRAY still keep it aggressive, angry and mean – just like how thrash should be played.
If you are a fan of hard-hitting thrash such as Sadus, Mezzrow or Vio-Lence you need to check out DISARRAY and "Religious Disease"!

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

ABRAMELIN - New Album "Sins of the Father" via Hammerheart Records - Track Premiere
 Australian Death Metal pioneers ABRAMELIN proudly presents their new song "Conflagration of the Dreamers", taken from their upcoming 4th full-length studio album "Sins of the Father" which will be released on October 4th 2024 through Hammerheart Records. Following on from their very well-received 2020 album, “Never Enough Snuff”, “Sins of the Father” is an all-out brutal Death Metal assault on the senses; while lyrically, it continues to push the boundaries of horror and depravity.
Check out the track here: https://youtu.be/s5zLWsnGWkc
Vocalist Simon Dower comments: "Conflagration of the Dreamers is the first track to be taken from our forthcoming album. We chose this track as not only does it totally shred, but it's also a great indicator of what's to come on the rest of our new dead set ripping compositions. A brutal Thrashy, Death Metal affair that combines the groove that Abramelin are known for, but also hints at our new sound and direction. Lyrically, "Conflagration of the Dreamers" is a follow up to "Flesh Furnace" (from our Deadspeak album, 2000), and brings us up to speed with this murderous pyro and his propensity for setting his sleeping victims on fire (thus the name of the track)."
Pre-order: https://abramelin.lnk.to/sinsofthefather
Tracklist:
01. Conflagration of the Dreamers
02. The Gory Hole

LACERATION - Full Album Stream via 20 Buck Spin - US Death/Thrash
 Shortly before its official release on July 26th 2024 via 20 Buck Spin you can now listen to the new album of LACERATION in its entirety.
Check out the full stream of "I Erode" here: https://youtu.be/RLwCjv32EzE
Over the band’s lifetime, years of work and subtle refinement manifest now in LACERATION’s most assured and viscious material to date. Absolutely loaded with hallmarks of US Death Metal’s peak era, "I Erode" vehemently explodes outta the gate with merciless riffs, savage tempos, tastefully fleshripping solos and the malevolent undercurrents of aggressive Death Thrash perfection. Striking an ideal balance of technical and straightforward, high speed and mid-paced breaks, and a concise, to the point attack packed with variety, "I Erode" offers a purely addictive shot of real Death Metal adrenaline in a lineage that includes Demolition Hammer to Morgoth to Suffocation.
While perhaps invoking a sense of nostalgia, the fact is LACERATION’s evolved confidence and commitment to a song’s unsparing execution erase any focus on era on the neck-breaking "I Erode". The dedication to the Death Metal form’s timelessness and high standards for true acknowledgment mark LACERATION’s output now more than ever.
The band's sophomore full-length was recorded by Matt Harvey of Exhumed / Gruesome and mixed and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios (Undergang, Vastum, Ulthar, High on Fire). The artwork was created by James Bousema (Frozen Soul, Kerry King, Celestial Sanctuary, Morgul Blade).
Tracklist:
1. Degradation (Intro)
2. Excised
3. Sadistic Enthrallment
4. Vile Incarnate
5. Dreams Of The Formless
6. Carcerality
7. Strangled By Hatred
8. Impaling Sorrow
9. I Erode
