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

ACOD - New Abum "Versets Noirs" via Hammerheart Records - Video Clip Premiere
 ACOD and are proud to present their cover version of Samael's "Black Trip", taken from the upcoming album "Versets Noirs" which will be out on April 26th via Hammerheart Records on CD, LP and digital!
"Black Trip" - Official Lyric Video / Samael cover: https://youtu.be/Nmt8S4pl27E
ACOD comments:
Fred: 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: "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.
"Versets Noirs" - 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)

Just like the earlier albums their new effort "The Exit Garden" once again shows influences by bands such as Black Sabbath, first and foremost, but also early UFO and Danzig.
