THE BLEEDING RELEASE "GODLESS COMMUNION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

UK death metal force The Bleeding return today with their new album, Godless Communion, OUT NOW worldwide via Redefining Darkness Records.

Marking a defining new chapter for the band, Godless Communion introduces Craig Land (ex-De Profundis) as The Bleeding's new frontman following the departure of longtime vocalist Germ. Rather than simply replacing vocals on an already completed record, Craig's arrival ultimately reshaped portions of the album around his distinctive delivery, pushing The Bleeding's already vicious combination of death metal brutality and thrash-fueled aggression into even darker and more sinister territory.

At the same time, Godless Communion reaches throughout The Bleeding's history and into the wider death metal underground. Longtime vocalist Germ remains present through special guest appearances, while Dutch death metal legend Adrie Kloosterwaard (Sinister) appears on Bestial Bloodlust. Ryan Howes (Sodomized Cadaver) joins the band for their crushing rendition of the Cannibal Corpse classic Born in a Casket, and original The Bleeding vocalist Themis K. returns for a special appearance on a reimagined version of Death Eternal.

Speaking on joining the band, Craig Land comments:

"When Tasos approached me about joining The Bleeding, and having spoken to him about his vision for the band, I jumped at the opportunity. The new album, Godless Communion, is totally killer, and I was thrilled to be asked to re-record the vocals so that I could be a part of it and be integrated into The Bleeding so quickly. It has been a whirlwind so far, and working with people so passionate and committed to the music and lifestyle has rekindled my own enthusiasm for playing again. I can't wait to help take The Bleeding to the next level, both musically and on stage. Prepare to die!"

From the speed metal-infused assault of Altar of the Ram, through the Adrie Kloosterwaard collaboration Bestial Bloodlust and the sinister transformation of Immortal Flesh, Godless Communion captures a band undergoing a major evolution without sacrificing the brutality at its core.

THE BLEEDING – GODLESS COMMUNION is OUT NOW on all streaming services and available physically via Redefining Darkness Records.

THE BLEEDING

Godless Communion

Redefining Darkness

18 September 2026

Since emerging from London's underground in 2010, The Bleeding have forged a reputation through a series of increasingly savage releases, including Rites of Absolution, Rise Into Nothing, Morbid Prophecy, and 2023's critically acclaimed Monokrator. Combining crushing death metal brutality, thrash-fueled aggression, and an uncompromising commitment to extremity, the band have become one of the UK's most consistent and respected underground forces.

Violent, relentless, and steeped in pure death metal hostility, Godless Communion stands as both a defining moment in The Bleeding's evolution and a triumphant celebration of underground death metal devotion.

AMTHRYA RELEASE VIDEO FOR "SHUDAN BOREI"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Italian black metallers Amthrya have released “Shūdan Bōrei”, their brand new single, accompanied by an official lyric video.

The track is the first official single taken from Onnen, the band’s upcoming album, due for release on 11 October on digital platforms and as a digipak CD via Ad Noctem Records.

“Shūdan Bōrei” (集団亡霊) takes its story to the shores of Izu, where history and legend collide. In the aftermath of a Second World War bombing, 250 people are said to have been swallowed by the sea. Ten years later, their unresolved rage transforms the victims into executioners.

Driven by an unrelenting grudge, the ghosts of Izu drag the living into the depths, trapping them in an endless cycle of death.

"Onnen"

Black Metal

Italian black metal band AMTHRYA return with their new album "Onnen", set for release on October 11th, 2026 via Ad Noctem Records. The album will be available on digipack CD and across digital platforms.

Fronted by Kasumi Onryō, AMTHRYA are known for dissonant atmospheres and imagery rooted in Japanese folklore and mythology. "Onnen" opens a new chapter for the band and arrives alongside the introduction of a revamped line-up.

The album takes its title from the Japanese concept of Onnen (怨念), understood as deep-seated rancour or persistent hatred. AMTHRYA use that idea as the foundation for a record centred on hatred as a physical, metaphysical and universal force.

Structured as a five-act opera, "Onnen" follows that force as it spreads through reality, fuels wars, poisons spaces and eventually drives the world towards ruin.

Chinmoku no Jinja

OCEAN OF ILLUSIONS RELEASE "NEXUS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

New Jersey death metal architects OCEAN OF ILLUSIONS will unleash their new EP, Nexus, on October 30th via Bleeding Art Collective.

OCEAN OF ILLUSIONS has been pushing the boundaries of the extreme music genre since their inception, as captured on their debut album Unrecognizable (2022) and single release “Helminth.” Layered dynamics, pit inducing hooks, and crushing breakdowns all find a place in the band's repertoire. Traversing influences that range from European melodic death metal, through to djentcore and New York death metal, OCEAN OF ILLUSIONS can pull together these broad influences to create a sound that stands apart.

With the release of the new singles “Nexus” and “Doomed” in 2025, and the video for “Doomed” reaching 129K views on Slam Worldwide, the band has further expanded and refined their sound, where moments of introspection, weight and massive groove all combine to deliver the bands best work to date.

Having shared the stage with titans such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Ingested, The Last Ten Seconds Of Life, Bodysnatcher and others, OCEAN OF ILLUSIONS have now partnered with Bleeding Art Collective for the release of Nexus, just in time for Halloween. 

The band comments, “‘Nexus’ is defined as a connection or series of connections linking two or more things or a central focal point. The definition resonated with us and what we're trying to accomplish. This EP is a good representation of each band member's style artistically, testing the waters to see what we’re capable of. The plan was to have every member write a song in their style and we mesh it into what we already had going. When we could see the difference from where we started with high tides to what we're doing now, we knew we had something special. We were anxious and had doubts but once the finished product came out, we were surprised with the outcome. 

“There was a lot of back and forth but it was worth it in the end for what we were able to create. Sometimes we are aligned with our emotions and other times we are not. I think that’s why our music takes on a couple styles and forms. We all come with different perspectives of heavy music so it makes it a bit interesting. While some of the tracks may be callbacks to Unrecognizable thematically, instrumentally we experimented with different styles for this EP.”

In advance of the EP’s release, today the band drops a video for “Ash Hoarder,” noting “This song explores the duality of fire – to bring warmth or cause irreparable damage. This song highlighted Josh’s style of playing, he focused on the riffs, and if the crowd could dance to it . This song is on brand for signature style.”

Watch OCEAN OF ILLUSIONS’ “Ash Hoarder” lyric video HERE.

Watch the band’s previously released video for “Doomed” HERE.

OCEAN OF ILLUSIONS’ Nexus was mixed and mastered by Dave Ricco of Face Yourself and will be released digitally with presaves available in the coming weeks.

2. Doomed

3. Imminent Incursion

NOROTH & MORTUAL RELEASE SPLIT ALBUM

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Two of the most compelling names in today's underground death metal scene are set to collide in one devastating release. NOROTH (USA) and MORTUAL (Costa Rica) proudly announce their upcoming split album, arriving October 30th, 2026 on 12" vinyl via Night Terrors Records (Netherlands) and CD/MC via Goat Throne Records (USA).

Bringing together six brand-new tracks and one cover, the split showcases two bands that continue to champion the timeless values of death metal: memorable riffs, carefully crafted songwriting and an uncompromising dedication to atmosphere over excess. In an era where technical display and sonic density often overshadow composition, NOROTH and MORTUAL stand apart by writing songs that linger long after the final note fades.

NOROTH contribute three exclusive tracks, expanding upon the cavernous and battle-scarred sound that has established them as one of the strongest emerging forces in American death metal. Their material seamlessly blends suffocating heaviness with haunting melodies and a sense of organic flow that recalls the genre's finest traditions without ever feeling derivative.

On the other side, MORTUAL unleash four new songs steeped in blasphemy, violence and relentless aggression. The Costa Rican quartet delivers their most focused and punishing material to date, balancing savage intensity with memorable riffing and a commanding sense of dynamics that reflects years of dedication to the underground.

The first taste of the split is available now through Decibel, with both premiere tracks streaming online:

NOROTH – "Tongue ov Soot and Ash"

MORTUAL – "Eclipse of Dominion"

Coinciding with the release, NOROTH will embark on a European tour alongside American death metal legends Drawn And Quartered, running from October 29th through November 13th, 2026, with booking handled by Killtown Bookings.

Tracklist:

1. Noroth - Crowned in Pestilence

2. Noroth - Tongue ov Soot and Ash

3. Noroth - Sepulchre ov Hollowed Eyes

4. Mortual - Eclipse of Dominion

5. Mortual - Crown of Unbeing

6. Mortual - Sanctified Decay

7. Mortual - Black Magic (Slayer Cover)

OMBRA RELEASE "NIGHT TERROR"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Emerging Montreal metal trio OMBRA has officially released their debut EP "Night Terror," out now as of September 14th, 2026. Rooted in old‑school thrash, sludge, groove metal, and psychedelic rock, the five‑track conceptual project delivers a visceral, front‑to‑back descent into fear, obsession, chemical collapse, and the psychological weight of modern life, blending raw emotion, razor‑sharp riffs, and the band’s signature fusion of horror and real‑world chaos.

​Formed by lifelong friends Giuseppe “G” Criniti (vocals/guitar), Marco Sisti (guitar/bass), and Nico‑Angelo Sisti (drums), OMBRA evolved naturally from their previous cult acts NRTH and Hidden Pride. The trio grew up together in Lachine, attended the same schools, and came from families who immigrated from Italy together, making the band’s formation feel less like a decision and more like destiny. In late 2020, G and Marco left NRTH to pursue heavier music, and Nico, Marco’s cousin and a respected drummer in the Montreal scene, joined shortly after departing Hidden Pride.

​A true concept EP about fear, collapse, and the human condition, "Night Terror" was written between 2021 and 2026. The EP reflects the band’s lived experiences and observations of a decade marked by upheaval, media distortion, obsession, war, and emotional collapse. The EP is intentionally designed as a continuous experience from Track 1 "Hysteria" through Track 5 "So It Goes", each chapter deepening the psychological descent:

​​"We wrote this EP as a reflection of our own experiences, feelings, and emotions throughout the last few years. The world has gone through so much change, turmoil, and war; this EP is our commentary on some of the major events of the last decade. Our objective is to encourage others to explore their own minds, make their own opinions, and live true to themselves. This EP reflects our thoughts and observations. We encourage all individuals to express themselves freely through art, speech, and any medium they see fit." - Ombra.

Recommended for fans of Power Trip, High On Fire, Motörhead, Mastodon, Testament, and Rammstein, "Night Terror" is now available on all digital platforms at https://too.fm/eab92od.

ÜBERCHRIIST RELEASE "DÆMONIC APOTHEOSIS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

U.S. Black Metal band Überchriist are set to release their second full-length album, Dæmonic Apotheosis, on September 25 via Deanwell Global Music.

"Anti-Phoenix Descent," the album's first single, is available on streaming platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

First coming together in embryonic form in 2010 by two local musicians whose human names are long forgotten, Überchriist formed with the purpose of transcending the boundaries between human, demon and god. Now a quartet, the band has spent the years since sharpening that idea into Dæmonic Apotheosis. What phantasmagorical wonders and horrors could await in this unconscious realm of the unknown? For only facing the deepest darkness can bring true enlightenment, and that is the ultimate goal of this musical undertaking.

Transformation is the thread running through Dæmonic Apotheosis. Ten tracks, 38:23, and most of them pull downward. Apotheosis is elevation to the divine, and on this record the road there runs straight down.

"Anti-Phoenix Descent" opens the album and was the first single. It leans on maritime musical themes, a journey down into the abyss in the company of the titular water elemental, and it works as a battle cry for the madness that follows. "Serpent's Shroud," the forthcoming second single (9/18/26) turns inward. Tears, terror, and the last threads of the mortal coil fall away, and the serpent offers the shroud of transformation. Being wrapped in it is not burial. It's rebirth. Relentless blast beats carry the self down layer by layer into the voids beneath the darkest lands. The other eight songs go through the abyss, demonic transformation, hell, tombs, voids, and rites carried out somewhere well below ground level.

Musically this is classic black metal at the root. Blast beats, tremolo picking, all the cold. But the band lets melody in when a song asks for it, and there's a real streak of old-school heavy metal in the riffing.

Track Listing:

1. Anti-Phoenix Descent (5:43)

2. Serpent's Shroud (3:14)

3. Vicissitudes Ov Fate (3:40)

4. Tomb Creeper (2:59)

5. Faith In Darkness (3:59)

6. Black Void (4:30)

7. Subterranean Goat Transfiguration (3:25)

8. Everdark Calling (2:38)

9. Awakening Ancient Power (3:16)

10. Psychocosm (4:59)

Credits: Überchriist is Überroth (vocals, guitar), Blastphümii (drums), Voidseer (vocals, guitar) and Namirrah (bass).

Recorded and mixed by Thomas Morton at Bookhouse Recording.

Mastered by Thomas Morton at Jamgood Mastering.

AUTUMNFALL RELEASE "THE ARCHAIC SINS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish melodic black metal veterans AUTUMNFALL have shared a new song from their forthcoming album "The Archaic Sins": "Crystal Skies" is now streaming, offering another glimpse into the melodic richness and atmospheric depth of the record, due out on September 25, 2026 via Ardua Music.

The new single further reveals the peculiar balance at the heart of AUTUMNFALL, where black metal intensity is shaped by flowing guitar lines, understated drama and a strong emotional sensibility. "Crystal Skies" unfolds without rushing, allowing its melodies to gradually build and intertwine while the rhythm section provides a firm but unobtrusive foundation. There is a distinctly melancholic quality to the song, yet its melodies retain a sense of openness and movement, reflecting the band's ability to find beauty without sacrificing the darker shades of their music.

Stream "Crystal Skies" at THIS LOCATION.

Composer Jussi Hänninen comments:

"'Crystal Skies' is probably my favorite track on the album, and has been since I first heard it re-recorded and brought to this age. It's an interesting piece in the sense that the lyrics actually have somewhat of a positive undertone."

Formed in Finland in 2019 by Jussi Hänninen, best known as the primary songwriter of Fall of the Leafe between 1996 and 2007, AUTUMNFALL emerged as a continuation of the musical sensibility that characterized the earlier years of that influential band. Joined by vocalist Tero Ruohonen, Hänninen has developed the project into a vehicle for revisiting old ideas while giving them renewed shape and purpose.

Following "Ghosts of Light" (2021), "Bleak" (2022) and "The Archaic Shadows" (2024), "The Archaic Sins" once again draws heavily from the past. With just one completely new composition, the album is primarily built around songs written between 1998 and 2001, now brought into the present through fresh arrangements and performances.

The result is fluid, finely arranged melodic black metal that never needs grand gestures to make its impact. AUTUMNFALL weave melodies together continuously, allowing guitars and rhythms to move with a natural, unforced sense of progression. The music can evoke wonder one moment and bitterness the next, shifting between emotional shades without ever disrupting its graceful flow.

Carefully considered rhythmic patterns provide a solid foundation for compositions that remain loose and organic, while the constant interplay of melodies gives the album its distinctive character. There is an unmistakable sense of musicians who have spent decades understanding how songs work, knowing when to add detail and, just as importantly, when to let an idea breathe.

Whether described as melodic extreme metal, dark metal or simply AUTUMNFALL, "The Archaic Sins" offers a sound rooted in experience, melody and atmosphere: material from another era that finds an unexpectedly natural home in the present.

Tracklist:

1. Halo In Utopia

2. Lightless Depths

3. Dark Goddess

4. Mists of Eternity

5. Crystal Skies

6. Pulse

7. The Blind Brother

8. The Timeless Kin

FUNERAL WITCHERY RELEASE "BEYOND THE LIGHT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

FUNERAL WITCHERY – BEYOND THE LIGHT

LABEL: INVIMA RECORDS

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 18th 2026

You are far from home and the darkness seems to stretch into forever. You have wandered deep into the desert night, dust at your feet and a thousand times a thousand stars above your head – scattered across the black velvet sky like ice shards, diamonds, doorways, eyes… The air is cold, bitter and sharp, biting at your lungs with each trembling breath, but there is a fire up ahead, flames dancing in the cruel wind. A voice seems to whisper to you from that oasis of warmth and light…an invitation, a temptation, a command…sensuous, poisonous, irresistible. And you are so very far from home…

Spawned beneath the blistering desert sun in Tucson, Arizona in 2020, Funeral Witchery are purveyors of fierce, unforgiving black metal. Everything about their music, their lyrics, their ideology is utterly uncompromising and intensely focussed. They are conjurers of nightmares and dedicated disciples of the dark, their creed a simple one – ‘Death will take you. Hell will keep you.’ After four independently released singles, the band have now joined the select ranks of InViMa Records for the release of their first full length album…Beyond The Light.

The power builds steadily as opening track, ‘Sheol’ is unveiled, a summoning of atmosphere, an invocation of ancient, primal darkness – and then all hell is unleashed, a savage vocal howling above a cavalcade of chaos. An impenetrable cloak of night descends with this initial onslaught and never lifts until the nightmare of Beyond The Light has finally passed. The ‘Wolfqueen’ tempts you into madness, a violent force rampaging through a landscape of haunting, desolate beauty, while ‘I Am The Tyrant’ casts you to your knees beneath its baleful gaze in a display of ironclad domination; riffs and drumbeats falling like hammer blows as the track thunders forwards with unstoppable force. ‘Nun Fucker’ is as direct, unflinching and blasphemous as its title suggests, steeped in wickedness and drowning in sin, and the rabid violence of ‘Beast Reich Occupation’, with its swirling solo like a kaleidoscope of razors, ensures that no-one leaves this hell ride unscathed or unscarred. The final proclamation of doom, the last rites for the light come with ‘Nemesis Divinus’, weighty and imperious, a triumphant march into the night leaving ravaged souls weeping in its wake. With Beyond The Light Funeral Witchery have delivered a fearsome first strike of unadulterated black metal might.

With its unnerving cover art, created by Zeinz and a sound that emanates bloodlust, dire cruelty and unspeakable knowledge, Beyond The Light will be sent forth by InViMa Records on September 18th. Pledge your allegiance and let Funeral Witchery lead you into the black.

Carlos Martinez - Vocals/Guitars

Ross Foree – Drums

BOSCO SACRO RELEASE "INHABIT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Supernatural Cat Records, the label operated by members of Ufomammut and the Malleus Rock Art Collective, welcomes Italian quartet BOSCO SACRO for the release of their second album, Inhabit, today unveiling the album’s details including a mesmerizing video for the title track.

BOSCO SACRO was formed in 2020 by Paolo Monti (The Star Pillow, DAIMON), Giulia Parin Zecchin (Julinko), Luca Scotti, and Francesco Vara (both formerly of Tristan da Cunha, with Vara also active in Altaj). Inspired by the sublime and restorative power of nature and its landscapes and driven by a shared belief in music as a healing and liberating force, they create immersive soundscapes where dreamlike atmospheres, slow-moving rhythms, and spiritual depth converge.

Since their inception, BOSCO SACRO have performed throughout Italy and Europe, appearing at festivals such as Brutal Assault, A Colossal Weekend, Frantic Fest, Curtarock, and Bear Stone. Their live performances have earned praise for their passionate, cathartic, ritualistic, and immersive nature, establishing the band as one of the most distinctive voices emerging from Italy’s contemporary underground scene.

BOSCO SACRO’s critically acclaimed debut, Gem, was recorded with producer Lorenzo Stecconi and released in 2023 via Avantgarde Music. In 2025, following an artistic residency at Villa Albrizzi Marini in San Zenone degli Ezzelini, the band released Live At Chiesa Armena via Go Down Records, capturing a performance recorded inside a striking 17th-century church.

BOSCO SACRO’s second studio album, Inhabit is a captivating exercise in sonic existentialism and a bold departure from their prior work. Entirely composed live in their rehearsal room and recorded by the band over a seven-day session with producer Lorenzo Stecconi, the album captures a raw, collective energy. Across eight interconnected tracks, the band crafts a modern ritual of ego dissolution and rebirth, weaving a diverse sonic tapestry where the crushing weight of doom and slowcore meets the weightless beauty of dreamgaze, ambient, and trip-hop.

Inhabit was recorded by BOSCO SACRO with producer Lorenzo Stecconi (Amenra, Zu, Ufomammut, Lento) at Daniele Onori’s AMM, Monteggiori Studio, immersed in the hills of Tuscany, mixed and mastered by Stecconi at Triple Sun in Rome.

The dialogue between the physical and the metaphysical is embodied by the album's artwork. The cover features Testa di Terra (Head of Earth), a striking raw clay sculpture by Italian artist Roberta Busato. Just like the music within, the sculpture is born from the soil, fragile yet enduring. Depicted with closed eyes, the face alludes to a deeply meditative state, serving as the ultimate visual incarnation of the album's concept: a bold invitation to step out of the noise of customary, ordered life, embrace the fertile void, and leap headfirst into a world where the future and the past exist all at once. Artwork from the regular edition reappears within the layers of the limited edition, connecting the two versions. The limited cover features an irregularly shaped cutout and holds four differently colored inserts; these, too, are concentrically die-cut to reveal the final layer, the hidden object emerging from within: the disc itself, an artifact to be unearthed and listened to. The inner sheets can be rotated randomly, ensuring that every single copy of the limited edition has a slightly different appearance.

The first preview of Inhabit arrives through its title track, which opens the album, delivered through a somber video created by Michele Canevari. The band reveals of the song, “‘Inhabit’ is a mantra born from a deep, deliberate, and obsessive search between the textures of a guitar loop and a mystical vocal melody. We took different paths, pushed boundaries, and ultimately landed on the sound that feels closest to our roots, yet new to us. Conceptually, it explores the paradox of human attachment and serves as an invitation to dissolve into the present moment.”

Immerse yourself in BOSCO SACRO’s “Inhabit” video now playing on YouTube HERE, and stream the song everywhere including Bandcamp HERE.

Supernatural Cat will release Inhabit on LP, CD, a Limited-Edition LP + CD bundle, and digital formats on November 6th. Preorders, merch, and presaves are all available at THIS LOCATION. Fans of Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Lankum, Portishead, Massive Attack, Esben And The Witch, and Third And The Mortal, should not miss BOSCO SACRO.

Additional previews of the album will drop over the coming weeks.
