GODLESS RELEASE "ADVERSUS PAROUSIA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Chilean death metal veterans GODLESS are now streaming their new album “Adversus Parousia” in its entirety through an exclusive premiere hosted by Death Metal Promotion, ahead of its official release on June 6th, 2026 via Nuclear Winter Records.

With “Adversus Parousia”, GODLESS deliver a work that demands commitment from the listener. Far removed from immediate gratification or conventional songwriting formulas, the album unfolds through complex structures and an atmosphere of constant tension. Its challenging and angular nature reveals itself gradually, rewarding repeated listens with new layers of depth and detail.

Remaining faithful to the band’s longstanding vision, “Adversus Parousia” combines technical precision and uncompromising death metal intensity into a cohesive and deeply immersive experience. The result is a mature and ambitious album that further reinforces GODLESS’ status as one of the most distinctive and enduring names within the Chilean underground extreme metal scene.

Listen to the full album at THIS LOCATION. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktYRUhOd4Nc

Since their inception, GODLESS have operated with an unwavering devotion to the darkest corners of death metal. Long before Chile’s scene garnered international attention, the band forged their path, crafting music of uncompromising intensity. Composed of seasoned veterans, GODLESS have always approached their work with meticulous care, and "Adversus Parousia" is the culmination of years of patient refinement.

The new album demonstrates a rigorous adherence to traditional death metal principles, yet its execution is anything but predictable. Every riff and atmospheric detail is carefully considered, resulting in a sound where weight and nuance coexist in perfect balance. Tracks crawl and coil with a pitch-black intensity, yet subtle dynamics emerge, revealing layers of depth beneath the surface of the oppressive, obsidian-toned compositions. The music exudes a solemnity that only true masters of the craft can orchestrate, commanding attention with its ceremonial gravity.

Following a nine-year silence since their last EP, "Omega Omnipotens", GODLESS return with a work that challenges both themselves and their listeners. "Adversus Parousia" embodies fidelity to the ethos of death metal, eschewing pretension for a direct confrontation with darkness and dissolution. The album fuses trance-like momentum, fervent aggression and an unwavering sense of transgression, producing an experience that is as merciless as it is mesmerizing.

With "Adversus Parousia", GODLESS reaffirm their position as architects of Chilean underground death metal, presenting a record that is simultaneously complete, refined and uncompromising. For those attuned to the gravest depths of the genre, this release promises a profound, immersive encounter with the essence of death metal at its most solemn and potent.

Witness the return of pure hostility.

MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY RELEASE "WASHINGTON STATE CHARM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY RELEASE NEW SINGLE FOR 'WASHINGTON STATE CHARM'

YOUTUBE    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICl8NvDrwLg

DIGITAL SINGLE   https://bfan.link/washington-state-charm-1

PHYSICAL PRE-ORDER   https://shop-listenable.net/en/1177_monument-of-misanthropy

DIGITAL ALBUM PRE-SAVE  https://bfan.link/washington-state-charm

Georg Wilfinger comments on the new album single : "The title track “Washington State Charm” is where things really lock in. Joe wrote this one — same genius behind all of “Unterweger” — and he’s been shaping most of our upcoming new record alongside our drummer Simon. The two of them have been studying jazz together over here at a music conservatory in Austria, and you can hear that push and pull all over this track. It’s technical, but never just for the sake of it — everything still hits with groove, weight, and intent through all the brutality.

 

And the track's story behind it is just as heavy: July 14th, 1974 — Lake Sammamish State Park: Thousands of people out in the sun, families hanging out, swimming, just a normal summer day where nothing’s supposed to go wrong.

But right there, in broad daylight, Ted Bundy used nothing but charm and manipulation to abduct two women — Janice Ott and Denise Naslund. That contrast and false sense of safety, that’s the core of this song.""

Originally founded as a solo project by singer Georg Wilfinger (ex-Miasma) in 2010 in Austria, MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY has released three studio albums, an EP and a demo up to now. Previous full-length album "Vile Postmortem Irrumatio" was released in August 2024 and drew roaring reviews worldwide.

Those relentless purveyors of auditory violence and “Mindhunters” of brutal Death Metal — have crawled back out of the basement with a brand-new full-length slab of extremity entitled 'Washington State Charm’ .

The new opus is a wholesome little concept album chronicling the coming-of-age story of a serial killer: the awkward upbringing, the early extracurricular activities, and the grand finale on the electric chair, America’s probably most prolific serial killer , Ted Bundy.

 

Georg Wilfinger comments : " While we’ve stayed 100% true to ourselves musically which means constantly reinventing ourselves. We’re pretty damn sure you’re going to love this new album. We obsessed over every microscopic detail, whether it’s a hidden arpeggio, a lyrical pun, or just another described act of unspeakable horror and maybe some truths about Ted you might not even have known yet. This isn’t just another death metal record you half-listen to while bench-pressing.

It’s an experience. A deep look into a very, very sick human being’s brain."

MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY' s new guest-filled album 'Washington State Charm' is scheduled for a June 26, 2026 release date on Listenable records.

WYRDSTÆF RELEASE "PRIMORDIAL BLOODLINES"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

WYRDSTÆF – PRIMORDIAL BLOODLINES

LABEL: APOCALYPTIC WITCHCRAFT

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 4th 2026

In a time before history, in an age before memory, they walked the vastness of the earth, an earth untainted by the plague bearing, rapacious hand of ill-named civilisation. An earth where the clinical, dissecting sterility of science had yet to drain the essence of nature, the power of magick from the world. A time before light was an instantly available commodity, disrupting the rhythms of existence, a time when shadows were deeper and concealed dreams, nightmares, friends and enemies. A time when there was no certainty of the dawn arriving after the long hours of night, but when every moment thrummed with the vibrant, vital wonder of existing. They walked in the shadow of giants, the true kings of all existence who knew no fear from man’s busy, wicked minds. They lived on the brink of death, more alive than we can ever be, when humanity was part of life’s miraculous, intricate weave, not a devil apart, setting fire to Eden…

The UK’s Wyrdstæf invoke the spirit of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic ages, where our distant ancestors roamed a world of ice and natural wonder, hunter-gatherers amongst the incredible megafauna. An existence of brutal harshness in an untarnished but unforgiving world. Through a hypnotic and transportative elixir of layered throat singing, distorted guitars, field recordings and ritualistic chants they seek to reach back into the distant past, not in an act of mimicry, but in an attempt to connect with the essence of a time that exists in the deepest waters of cultural memory and the collective unconscious. Having appeared on national television, performing Egil’s Saga, an Icelandic family saga about the life of 10th century warrior-poet and farmer, Egil Skallagrimsson, on the Channel 4 programme Britain’s Most Historic Towns, the band self-released their debut EP, Great Migrations, in 2021 – a meditation upon ancestral movement and extinction. Now, having signed to Apocalyptic Witchcraft in the Autumn of 2025, Wyrdstæf are ready to unveil their first full length album, the incredible journey that is Primordial Bloodlines!

With its elemental rhythms and tribal chants, an encroaching thunder, ‘White Spring’ draws the listener into Wyrdstæf’s prehistoric vision, forming a gateway into this distant reality which exists in the liminal space between dream and memory. Then ‘Great Migrations’ surrounds us in all its majesty – the cavernous vocals and furious onslaught of sound bringing to life something beyond ancient, something harsh and extreme that can never be forgotten. There’s a sense of shamanistic power entwining with the blackened metal tumult as it carries us through the haunted lands of ‘Hyperborean’ into the wild, visceral celebration of sheer survival that is ‘Parhelion’ – infused with a primitive vigour that strikes fear into the tamed, muzzled soul, in its soft, comfortable chains. Circling the fires that keep the terrors of night at bay in these epic tracks, the brittle modern attention span is cast aside as we reach deep for the innate understanding that lies within. This monumental journey ends in the bower of ‘Primordial Bloodlines’, a song of reflection, beauty and melancholy. A hymn for precious things lost and the pathways that lead back through the mists of countless centuries. Wyrdstæf have crafted something special and filled it with the spirit of an age that could be the saving of us all.

In the words of the band themselves, “Wyrdstæf has always been about tapping into something ancient and primal; a memory of a world that once was. For us, this is a way of reflecting on and channelling the primordial origins of humanity.” Join them – and remember things you have always known. Primordial Bloodlines will be released by Apocalyptic Witchcraft on September 4th, on limited edition splatter vinyl, digipak CD, cassette and digital formats.

Line-up:

Urzhan – Vocals

Shaman – Guitars

Baksu – Bass

Malang – Drums

Revenant - Guitars, Electronic

ROTTEN TOMB RELEASE "VESTIGES OF TORTURED SOULS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Chilean death metallers ROTTEN TOMB are now streaming their entire new album “Vestiges of Tortured Souls” in an exclusive premiere hosted by Death Metal Promotion, ahead of its official release on June 6th, 2026 via Nuclear Winter Records.

With “Vestiges of Tortured Souls”, ROTTEN TOMB take a significant step forward in their artistic development, delivering what is arguably their most accomplished and cohesive work to date. While remaining firmly rooted in the raw intensity and dark atmosphere that have characterized the band since its inception, the album reveals a more confident and deliberate songwriting approach, built around memorable structures and a stronger sense of identity.

Across its tracklist, each composition stands out through its own distinct character, allowing the record to maintain a compelling sense of variety without sacrificing cohesion. From relentless death metal aggression to darker and more atmospheric passages, “Vestiges of Tortured Souls” unfolds as a carefully crafted journey that highlights the band’s growing maturity as songwriters. The result is a powerful and distinctive statement that further solidifies ROTTEN TOMB’s position within the contemporary underground death metal scene.

Listen to the full album at THIS LOCATION.

Formed in 2016 in Iquique, ROTTEN TOMB have steadily risen as one of the most compelling acts within the South American extreme metal scene, blending death metal with doom-laden atmospheres and occult undertones. Following the strong impact of "Visions of a Dismal Fate" (2022) and the equally praised "The Relief of Death" (2024), the band now returns with their most ambitious and fully realized work to date.

"Vestiges of Tortured Souls" stands as one of the most anticipated death metal releases of the year. On this new record, ROTTEN TOMB refine their sonic identity without sacrificing intensity or authenticity. The riffs are sharper and more cohesive, while the melodies take on a more prominent role, painting soundscapes that feel more sorrowful and evocative than ever before.

Without losing any of the crushing heaviness and sense of decay that defined their earlier material, the band now delivers songs with an immediate and lasting impact. Each track strikes a balance between overwhelming force and carefully crafted lead guitar work, resulting in compositions that are both memorable and devastating.

The album channels the oppressive weight of the genre’s darkest pioneers alongside a deeply mournful and introspective atmosphere, while still maintaining a distinct and personal voice. This duality allows ROTTEN TOMB to push their sound forward, achieving a level of songwriting maturity that marks a clear evolution from their previous efforts.

"Vestiges of Tortured Souls" represents a major step forward for ROTTEN TOMB, solidifying their position at the forefront of Chile’s increasingly renowned extreme metal scene and extending their reach far beyond national borders.

DICHOTOMY RELEASE "LUCIFER OWNS THE FENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

DICHOTOMY – LUCIFER OWNS THE FENCE

LABEL: ROTTWEILER RECORDS

RELEASE DATE: JULY 3rd 2026

Jordan Varela knows death metal; the essence of it runs through his veins. He’s the drummer for the crushing Lust Of Decay, the multi-instrumentalist behind the ferocious music of Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement and an ex-member of legends of brutality, Lividity…and those are just the most notable of his achievements in the scene. So, when Varela announces a new solo project, a new album overflowing with rampant death metal riffs, firmly anchored to the roots of the genre but hitting with a powerful contemporary impact…well, you sit up and you pay attention. Under the name of Dichotomy, Jordan Varela is set to unleash the fiercely focussed intensity of Lucifer Owns The Fence – featuring nine tracks of unequivocal death metal.

There’s no messing around on Dichotomy’s debut, as a savage vocal roar ushers in blistering opening track and first single, ‘He Is…’. The rhythms are wild, frantic, dizzying, the riffs twisting and turning before locking into passages of incredible force and power. It’s a case of hanging on for dear life as a maelstrom of precision performance threatens to tear you apart. However, there is nothing chaotic about the music of Dichotomy, as within the maze of fury and complexity that characterises tracks like the searing ‘What A God’ there is a very definite plan and structure. Gleaming hooks wait to ensnare and everything crackles with an electrifying energy as addictive riffs draw you in ever deeper, revealing an inherent sense of melody within the tornado of sound. With every listen these tracks hit harder and harder, from the unflinching, determined attack of ‘Better To Be Drowned With A Millstone Around The Neck’ to the jabbing, thrusting riffs and screaming harmonics of ‘The Greatest Lie Ever Told’. This album is not background listening; it deserves your full attention and demands to be played loud. Finishing with the massive impact of ‘Satan Will Kill You’ – unswerving in message and music – Lucifer Owns The Fence will leave you exhilarated and utterly destroyed.

Every note, every beat, every excoriating roar on Lucifer Owns The Fence is the work of Jordan Varela and that singularity of vision, purpose and performance has resulted in one of the most formidable and accomplished albums of his career. Lucifer Owns The Fence will be released by Rottweiler Records on July 3rd, so be prepared for a monumental death metal assault!

Tracklist:

1.He Is... 04:45

2.The Antithesis

3.What A God

4.The Fence 03:37

5.Better To Be Drowned With A Millstone Around The Neck 03:37

6.The Perserverance

NOTHINGNESS RELEASE "GODSLAUGHTER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

NOTHINGNESS 'Godslaughter' (July 31st 2026)

With 'Godslaughter', US band Nothingness push their Digressive Death ethos into a realm of unrestrained extremity - a convulsing surge of dissonant fervor, emotional upheaval, and atmospheric dread that shatters structural convention and cements the Minneapolis entity as one of the most uncompromising voices in contemporary death metal!

"Godslaughter is a confrontation. Where Supraliminal was largely a look inwards, our new record is a glare out into the world, and a concise statement that gradually unfurls into the excess of oblivion."

Nothingness, Minneapolis-based purveyors of Digressive Death, create music as an honest expression of extremity. What results is a cauldron of metallics, melodies, rhythms, and atmospheres that reflect the personal experiences and emotions of its creators.

The band formed in 2018 with the goal of making something that is true to their own tastes, talents, and with no preconceived notions for structure. Nothingness has previously honed their craft on two full-length albums: 'The Hollow Gaze of Death' (2019, Independent) and 'Supraliminal' (2023, Everlasting Spew Records).

For their 3rd full-length album 'Godslaughter' the band once again worked with their longstanding engineer of choice, and local Minneapolis sound freak, Adam Tucker of Signaturetone Recording, with guest appearances from Gabriele of Cosmic Putrefaction and Brendan of Altars/Convulsing.

Tracklist:

1.Incinerated Immediately

2.Convulsing Putrefaction

3.Skull Evulsion 02:45

4.Trenchant Glunch

5.Vanquishing Providence

6.Divine Irresponsibility

INSCRIBED RELEASE NEW SINGLE "ON THE STAGE OF DEATH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

INSCRIBED Release New Single “On the Stage of Death” Out Now | From Upcoming Debut Album Upon the Twisted Throne Due June 19, 2026 via Awakening Records

Pre-order:

CD: https://awakeningrecordscn.bigcartel.com/product/inscribed-upon-the-twisted-throne-cd

Digital: https://awakeningrecordscn.bandcamp.com/album/upon-the-twisted-throne

Miami, Florida death/thrash metal trio INSCRIBED have released their new single “On the Stage of Death”, available now. The track is the second preview from their upcoming debut full-length album Upon the Twisted Throne, due out June 19, 2026 via Awakening Records.

Following the intensity of “Machinery of War,” this new single pushes deeper into the band’s progressive death/thrash identity, delivering shifting structures, technical precision, and a darker, more cinematic edge. Built around unpredictable transitions and layered songwriting, “On the Stage of Death” highlights INSCRIBED’s growing ambition and refusal to play it safe.

Inspired in part by Kentaro Miura’s Berserk, the track explores themes of religious extremism, human suffering, and psychological collapse, unfolding like a descent through escalating chaos and reflection. It’s both brutal and strangely controlled, balancing technical aggression with dramatic pacing and emotional weight.

INSCRIBED continue to carve their own lane in modern extreme metal by blending classic Florida death metal influence with a progressive mindset rooted in complexity and storytelling. Drawing from acts like Atheist, Hellwitch, Sadus, Cynic, and Nocturnus, the band pushes forward without losing that raw underground bite.

The band comments that “On the Stage of Death” represents one of the most ambitious structures we have written, built over years of refining ideas and pushing ourselves beyond comfort zones. It captures the shifting emotional weight we wanted this record to carry.

Upon the Twisted Throne was formed through years of relentless writing and live performance, with the core trio of Evie Austin (bass), Lucas Moore (drums and vocals), and Mario Alvarez (guitar) sharpening their identity across Florida’s underground scene.

“On the Stage of Death” continues to showcase the band’s bass-forward approach, with intricate low-end work driving the composition alongside razor sharp guitar phrasing and punishing drum intensity.

Upon the Twisted Throne features INSCRIBED:

Evie Austin — Bass Guitar

Lucas Moore — Drums & Vocals

Mario Alvarez — Guitar

Additional lead guitar by Fernando Calero.

The album was engineered and mixed by Ferny Coipel at The Shack North, with guitar and bass recording by John Sample at Sathanas Studios. Mastering by Chris Barcia. Artwork by Stephanie D-Sorensen with additional design contributions from Raphael Sanchez, Deborah Moore, Beatriz Freire, Gabriel Caggiano, and Arioch.

“On the Stage of Death” is out now.

Upon the Twisted Throne arrives June 19, 2026 via Awakening Records.

For fans of Atheist, Hellwitch, Sadus, Cynic, Nocturnus.

TOMB SLAB RELEASE "TOMB SLAB"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

TOMB SLAB – TOMB SLAB

LABEL: ROAD TO MASOCHIST

RELEASE DATE: JULY 17th 2026

The first foundation stones for what would become the brutal architecture of Tomb Slab were laid back in 2024. The Atrocity Exhibit guitarist James Caygill and The Infernal Sea vocalist Dean Lettice discovered their mutual admiration for the anarchic, angry sludge of bands like Iron Monkey and Eyehategod - and slowly words and thoughts became riffs and lyrics, which then became early, rough demos. While other commitments soon intervened, the pair were determined to return to the sleeping behemoth they had christened Tomb Slab and in 2025 they did just that; now accompanied by Oneiros bassist John Hunter and Shyrkull drummer Kez Whelan. The beast was awake – and those early demos began the process of transformation into a self-titled debut album of soul crushing doom and sludge. With Road To Masochist, champions of the malign and malformed creatures of the UK underground on board, Tomb Slab the album is now ready to leave its nest of ash and bone and crawl out into the light…

Opening track ‘Kingdom Of Tyranny’ emerges from a wailing wall of feedback with a grim, purposeful air. The thudding drumbeats land with colossal power while the vocals are vicious to the point of self-destruction; you can almost feel the mucous membrane in Lettice’s throat tearing with every venomous, bilious utterance. The song pauses momentarily at its midpoint simply to bathe in the radioactive hum of the guitars before a well-placed death grunt kicks it back into action. ‘The Butcher’ follows, riding a dirty, attitude infused groove, the drumbeats still falling like hammer blows and you start to feel like there are only two ways to respond to Tomb Slab – you either commit to violence and wanton destruction or you enter a catatonic state, consciousness lost to the implacable riffs. With an intro that’ll bring a smile to all but the most po-faced of listeners, ‘Rawhead’ is part lively, obnoxious celebration and part grinding, hypnotic riff-poisoning, while the circling guitars of first single ‘What’s Below Remains Below’ demand a headbanging response and won’t be satisfied until something inside breaks. ‘Tomb Of Flesh’ then grows organically from the wreckage of ‘What’s Below Remains Below’, a darker, grimier thing, with a nasty glint in its eye, dragging itself forward with malicious intent until it collapses, dying in feedback screams that slowly become the gargantuan ‘Toils of The Unclean Spirit’. There’s a bleak resignation about this Godzilla like conclusion to the album, a life sapping ennui that sucks the energy from the song like marrow from a bone. It slows at its heart, almost drowning in its own bitter lethargy, just managing to pull clear from the quicksand long enough for a wandering bass line to inject enough vigour to get it moving again, staggering away into the screaming void from whence it came.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Ian Boult (Mage, Abduction, Shyrkull etc) at Stuck On A Name Studios in Nottingham, Tomb Slab’s sonic palette is part rusted razor wire, part rubble and decay, but there’s a sparse clarity to it that allows every element of its brutal, broken choir to sing. Featuring the striking artwork of Amy Edwards (The Atrocity Exhibit etc), Tomb Slab will be driven from its place of confinement by Road To Masochist on July 17th and will be available on transparent yellow and black vinyl variants and CD.

James Caygill - Guitar
