ATRÆ BILIS - Sophomore Album Aumicide via 20 Buck Spin - Track Premiere
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces the sophomore full-length album of Vancouver's Technical Death Metallers ATRÆ BILIS, entitled "Aumicide", set for release on April 19th 2024.
Like all bands that meld metal’s numerous disparate incarnations, ATRÆ BILIS are not easily pigeonholed. Death Metal, atmospheric dissonance, tech brutality and much more are all thrown into the ATRÆ BILIS meat grinder coalescing beautifully and disturbingly into their own signature fusion like a perfectly functioning innovative machine.
Produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson of Cryptopsy, the massive production on "Aumicide" utterly pulverizes, elevating the Canadian power to uncharted extremities of deadly heaviness. This manifestation results in one of the most singularly ambitious underground releases of 2024, propelling the often backward-looking Death Metal genre unflinchingly into a far more terrifying future.
A first track, "Salted In Stygia", can be checked out at this location: https://youtu.be/yW-HpjTUE98
Cover Sculpture by Michael Perry and Angela Webber at Grayhouse Studios.
Tracklist:
01. Protoxenesis
02. Hell Simulation
03. Salted In Stygia
04. Inward To Abraxas
05. To Snuff The Spirit Guides
06. Aumicide
07. A Kingdom Of Cortisol
08. Monolith Aflame
09. Through The Hologram’s Cervix
10. Excruciate Incarnate

BEYREVRA - Debut Album "Echoes: Vanished Lore of Fire" out now via Trollzorn Records - New Video Clip
 German Melodic Death/Black Metallers BEYREVRA have revealed a video clip for the song "Burning Fate", taken from the band's debut album "Echoes: Vanished Lore of Fire" which is out now via Trollzorn Records.
Check it out here: https://youtu.be/k81EgHEHK2M
With diversified riff and melody structures and distinctive vocals, BEYREVRA have created an record with a somber and menacing tone. Hard blastbeat sections are alternating with decelerated and heavy riffs, and atmospheric guitar solos are following on energetic and complex melodies. Lyrically, they tell stories about the oppression of mankind by religion and the church, partly inspired by historic events.
Founded in 2018 in Nuremberg, BEYREVRA completed their line-up over the following years. After the recordings were completed in the Mordor Sounds Studio, renowned Endarker Studio took over the mixing and mastering and gave “Echoes: Vanished Lore of Fire” a unique and yet typically Swedish touch.
Cover artwork by Markus Graupner (Northem Arts).
Tracklist:
1. Sentenced
2. Path of Baptism
3. Burning Fate
4. New Aeon Rising
5. Erased
6. Fallen Son
7. Beheading the Truth >>> Video Clip
8. Barren Tales
9. The Hermit's Torment >>> Lyric Video

EXHUMATION - New Album "Master’s Personae" via Pulverised Records - Track Premiere
 Yogyakarta/Indonesia based Death Metallers EXHUMATION have announced their fourth full-length, "Master’s Personae".
The album will be released on April 26th 2024 via Pulverised Records on CD, LP and in digital formats. It was mixed by Bable Sagala at Watchtower Studio and mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door Mastering (Aura Noir, Darkthrone, Bastard Priest, Frozen Soul, etc). The cover artwork was created by José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal. Featuring guest appearances of Sindre Solem / Obliteration, S. Iblis / Possession, Shyaithan / Impiety, Sabbac / ZOM and Bable Sagala / Watchtower Studio.
A first track, entitled "Chaos Feasting", can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/2R43uAsimlI
With a forlorn howl of a meandering beast, the entire record breathes an animosity between atmospheric solace and Death Metal carnage impassioned by a blaze of unending fire. "Master’s Personae" is enshrouded in a sublime traversal of musical perturbance but the megalithic depths which EXHUMATION possess is undoubtedly an immutable stare into the embodiment of supreme sordid verve of Metal of Death.
Tracklist:
01. In Death Vortex
02. Pierce The Abyssheart
03. Funereal Dreams
04. Chaos Feasting
05. The Martyr’s Lament
06. Thine Inmost Curse

08. Thy Mighty Locution
09. Mahapralaya
10. The Scenic Desolation

Wormwood's "Trilogy of Death" is a conceptual journey through historical and existential themes. "Nattarvet" explored the 19th century famine in the Nordics, "Arkivet" delved into the downfall of humanity, and in "THE STAR", the band reveals the story of the universe's last breath.
Tracklist:
1. Stjärnfall
2. A Distant Glow
3. Liminal

5. Thousand Doorless Rooms

"We wanted to finish these pieces of music that were started ‘for Bill’," explains Lavery, "and the material we felt was certainly strong enough to inspire us to do so." Regarding the guitar parts he specifies: "Bill is there where we could pull his tracks off the demo recordings, in much the same way the Beatles were recently able to rescue John Lennon’s voice from an old demo tape. however be assured this album is not 'a demo', nor does it sound like one, our new guitarist Eric does most of the heavy lifting as far the recording, but all of the music was written by Bill and we stayed very very faithful to what he wrote."

CIVEROUS - Sophomore Album "Maze Envy" via 20 Buck Spin - Video Premiere
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces the second full-length of LA’s most creatively destructive Death / Doom ensemble CIVEROUS, entitled "Maze Envy", to be released on March 22nd 2024.
A video clip for the track "Labyrinth Charm", featuring guest vocalist Derek Rydquist (The Zenith Passage, The Faceless), can be checked out here: https://youtu.be/9fZzjXbDsCQ
With the towering new album, CIVEROUS let loose a freshly evolved but no less brutal conflagration of immersive horror and morbid lamentation. Where Death / Doom may often stay in safe and unadventerous realms of narrow focus, "Maze Envy" presents a more far-reaching breadth of ambition, where unusual technicality, progressive atmospheres, string flourishes and chaotic mysticism radiate a purple light of the soul’s ascension from the black oceans of dread CIVEROUS inhabit. Chain-dragging dirge, blackened blasting, and the savage ferocity of Lord Foul’s hellish vocal exorcisms exalt "Mazy Envy" with a hellish grandeur within its myriad paths to oblivion.
With a massively crushing sound, "Maze Envy" is end times music for an age in which that reckoning feels unfathomably close. CIVEROUS batter the senses into a state of labyrinthian turmoil from which emergence is ever more implausible.
Recorded, mixed and produced by Andrew Solis at Deadstare Audio. Mastered by Nick Townsend at Infrasonic Sound. Cover art by Juanjo Castellano (Majesties, Voidceremony, Avulsed, Gates of Ishtar).
Tracklist:
1. The Azure Eye
2. Shrouded in Crystals
3. Endless Symmetry
4. Labyrinth Charm (feat. Derek Rydquist)
5. Levitation Tomb
6. Maze Envy
7. Geryon (The Plummet)
