WODOS RELEASE "FROM THE GRAVE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In a world dominated by appearances where everything is designed to please, the easy path is taken, and individual success reigns supreme. A world where the music industry has turned into a game of shortcuts, pandering, and profit, where mistakes are forbidden and every detail is calculated to appeal. In this bland artistic landscape where artists cast aside their values to feed their egos, the tired formulas of artificial success no longer suffice. This world needs to be shaken up. This protest against posers isn’t something you read or speak about it’s something you listen to directly FROM THE GRAVE.

Official release: September 20, 2026

Artwork by Sebastiàn Frigerio 

Wodos is an old-school thrash metal band from Lévis, Quebec, Canada, formed in the winter of 2024. Rooted deeply in the DIY ethos, the band has built its foundation from the ground up hand-crafting show flyers, recording demo tapes, and making their own banners.

In early 2025, Wodos released their debut three-song demo on both cassette and CD, making a major splash in the local and international underground scene. The release garnered coverage in numerous magazines and received airplay on over 50 radio stations worldwide. Known for their fast, aggressive sound and reputation as heavy beer drinkers, Wodos tore through over 30 shows across Quebec and Ontario in their first year alone, sharing the stage with acts like Chris Holmes (W.A.S.P.), Quebec thrash legends Soothsayer, BARF, and many others.

Looking ahead, Wodos has an extensive lineup of upcoming shows, including high-profile dates with Canadian thrash pioneers DBC (Dead Brain Cells).

Drawing direct influence from 80s legends like Slayer, Sadus, Demolition Hammer, Dark Angel, and early Quebec underground thrash, their debut full-length album, From the Grave recorded entirely on analog equipment is set for release on September 20th. It’s a raw, fast, and aggressive record built for authentic old-school fans.

Wodos is the answer for anyone fed up with new bands relying on TikTok trends or catchy videos: no gimmicks, no polished over-production just speed, aggression, and pure 80s thrash metal. Fuck the posers—thrash till death.

2023: Release of the transitional demo Even after Death and reissue of their early tracks.

Live Shows: The band actively returned to the stage, performing in over 60 concerts and festivals across Europe.

EXTERMINATION DAY RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO: "FILL THE SWAMP"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

EXTERMINATION DAY Unleash New Single and Video “Fill the Swamp” and Announce New Album Forty Miles of Bad Road

The Minneapolis Hoss Rock outfit takes aim at political corruption on their new single, with their full-length album arriving November 27 via Argonauta Records.

Minneapolis, Minnesota's EXTERMINATION DAY return with “Fill the Swamp,” a brand new single and official video offering another taste of their upcoming album, Forty Miles of Bad Road, due November 27, 2026, via Argonauta Records on CD, deluxe colored vinyl, and digital formats.

Blending the crushing heaviness of Trouble and The Obsessed with the raw aggression of Poison Idea, the crossover intensity of Blind-era Corrosion of Conformity, and the unpredictable energy of Die Kreuzen, EXTERMINATION DAY deliver their own distinctive brand of Hoss Rock: a volatile mix of punk, hard rock, doom metal, and garage rock, driven by crushing riffs and a healthy contempt for authority.

Watch the official video for “Fill the Swamp”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXulCabApOE​

Taking aim at political hypocrisy and the corrupting influence of wealth, “Fill the Swamp” targets a member of the current US administration's cabinet, turning familiar political rhetoric into a biting indictment of those who promise to clean up the system only to become part of the problem.

The band comments:

“This song is directed at a current US administration’s cabinet member; people can listen and take a guess as to who it is. More broadly, the theme of the song is about how wealth corrupts and how the US government is full of charlatans who promised to ‘drain the swamp’ and instead ended up filling it.”

Following the previously released “Ruse Cycle,” the new single sets the tone for an album that confronts institutional corruption, social disillusionment, and the absurdities of modern life with unfiltered aggression and dark humor.

Featuring current and former members of Suffering Hour, Satan’s Satyrs, and Kult of the Wizard, EXTERMINATION DAY bring their underground pedigree and uncompromising attitude to a record that embodies everything their self-proclaimed Hoss Rock stands for.

The band says:

“Forty Miles of Bad Road represents the path we are on as a species and our disdain towards employment, police, the government, war, and the state of the world in general. Influenced by a wide variety of styles including punk, hard rock, doom metal, and garage rock, as well as our own lived experiences and tongue-in-cheek humor, the album demonstrates a sound we've created which is reflective of our unwavering hoss rock spirit. Loud amps, facial hair, grim lyrics, undermining your boss, explosions, evading taxes, not trusting authority - every box is ticked. This album is a solid concrete slab of top notch rock that many credible music critics say is as groundbreaking and relevant as Deep Purple's ‘In Rock’ or Whitesnake's self-titled masterpiece.”

BEFOULED MALEDICTION RELEASE "DESPERATE NECROMANCY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Emerging from the shadowy circle surrounding ORDO VAMPYR ORIENTIS, BEFOULED MALEDICTION bring their debut album, "Desperate Necromancy", to Black Metal Promotion, where the record is now available to hear in its entirety ahead of its official digital release on October 30, 2026.

Across seven tracks, the mysterious US project spins a macabre tale of grief, forbidden knowledge and a warlock's desperate attempt to resurrect his deceased beloved. Melodic black metal, spectral keyboards and sinister harmonies shape a narrative that gradually spirals from mourning into obsession, as the pursuit of lost love gives way to increasingly disturbing consequences.

Drawing on the Scandinavian melodic black metal tradition while embracing the eerie atmosphere of dungeon synth, "Desperate Necromancy" unfolds as a supernatural tragedy in which the boundary between devotion and damnation grows ever thinner. Limited vinyl editions will follow on November 13 through Ixiol Productions and Dawnbreed Records.

Stream the album at THIS LOCATION.

As part of the ever-changing ORDO VAMPYR ORIENTIS collective, BEFOULED MALEDICTION features associates also active in BAT MAGIC, BAD MANOR, BENEATH MOONLIGHT and other related projects.

GOLGOTHAN REMAINS RELEASE "BORN OF DARKNESS ABSOLUTE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Sydney merchants of blackened-death GOLGOTHAN REMAINS return with Born From Darkness Absolute, their third full-length - and first in nearly five years.

Despite the lengthy gap between longplayers, the quartet have never rested on their oars - releasing blistering MLP Bearer of Light, Matriarch of Death in 2024…

A mere sign of things to come… a warning, if you will…

The band has shared the album's first preview track, "An Emanation of Exorcism." Stream the song now at youtu.be/yYJxi5Mbjvs?si=vL8d5NMJRD8mxxIE

Dark Descent Records will release Born From Darkness Absolute on digital, CD and vinyl formats on November 20.

Pre-orders available at:

darkdescentrecords.com/shop

darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

ddmsuo.eu (EU orders)

Track listing:

1. A Barren Zeitgeist

2. Malevolent Rites of Desecration

3. An Emanation of Exorcism

4. A Feast of Cadaverous Remains

5. A Perilous Pledge to the Grave

6. Gnashing Fangs of Blasphemy

7. ...On Charnel Wings of Oblivion

The material on Born From Darkness Absolute favors a “more direct approach, embracing an almost back to basics, ferocious sound, with little room for experimenting or pushing the boundaries of the genre, while remaining true to the band’s established style,” summarizes M.

Fueled by a string of crushing live appearances, including a tour alongside Dead Congregation and Concrete Winds, the band sought to capture that same visceral energy on wax.

“For this record, we really focused on writing towards something that would translate live really well. As a result, I think this is some of our fastest material, packed with energy, while still retaining the atmospheric tendencies we’ve always incorporated. It feels like once you hit play it doesn’t let up for the entire runtime.”

What is left is an album resembling a book one cannot put down; a compelling aural narrative matched by equally engaging lyrics: 

“Driven by the aggression of the music and the ferocity of riffs, the lyrical themes return to the raw foundations of the genre: religious hypocrisy, anti-society, conflict, blasphemy, and at times, the occult.” 

As with MLP Bearer of Light, Matriarch of Death, the album's sonic weight is reinforced by the work of Greg Chandler (Priory Recording Studios, Esoteric-fame), who once again took the helm at the mixing desk. Artwork by Misanthropic Art complements the music's thematic concerns, drawing on Slavic folklore and Orthodox religious imagery.

“To complement this, we chose a more unconventional colour palette for a death metal release, giving the album a distinct and memorable aesthetic.”

GOLGOTHAN REMAINS is:

Matthieu Van den Brande - Vocals

Matt Hillman - Guitars

Adam Martin - Bass

Aled Powell - Drums

ANTHYR RELEASE "TIDENS FAMN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Anthyr released debut album

----------------------------------------

Swedish Melodic Death/Black Metal band Anthyr released their debut album «Tidens Famn». The release was recorded, mixed and mastered by Markus Kristiansen Seterlund in "Nordblod Studios".

https://open.spotify.com/album/50vUZchT4RDRcXZqMjlErF

https://music.apple.com/us/album/tidens-famn/6814039885

Hailing from the cold landscapes of Sweden, Anthyr is a solo metal project forged at the intersection of atmospheric black metal and melodic death metal. Rejecting modern trends, the project builds expansive, immersive compositions anchored by striking melodies, deep atmosphere, and vivid storytelling. Drawing profound inspiration from Scandinavia's pre-Christian heritage, ancient Norse pantheons, and northern spiritual traditions, Anthyr channels both ferocious aggression and introspective gloom. The result is a captivating sonic journey that explores not merely the darkness itself, but the ancestral forces and forgotten lore that reside within it.
