Soulburn announce new album “NOA’S D’ARK” and launch first single “From Archaeon into Oblivion”! Album pre-order starts today!
Dutch blackened Death Doom Metallers SOULBURN return with their fourth album and follow-up to 2016’s “Earthless Pagan Spirit” release. Entitled “NOA’S D’ARK”, the album will be released on November 13th, 2020 via Century Media Records.
SOULBURN’s frontman Twan van Geel comment about “NOA’S D’ARK” as follows:
“A symbiosis of the biblical tale and the mayhem of the currents inherent each present; a mirror of realities. Yes, a play of words, and even more so, a decay of births. So please indulge, feel free to dare wrapping your own mind around, for it for sure is, in the very core of its essence, a vessel in honour of the strength and the art, of chaos and freedom: NOA’S D’ARK.
Applied with the pleasure of pressure, a Satanic gesture if you wish - a clash – a crash of narratives of mundane hollowness, of empty parasites sucking on the big nothing. A lucid statement in praise of the ever-lurking darkness that surrounds us, drinking it, eating it, in triumph over boredom - to thrive. To exist through meaning brought to the surface by one’s own revelations rather than just by leaning into traps of false acceptance or flat expectations. To grow some horns that is, an existentialist beast - come feast!
Enter NOA’S D’ARK, a tale of life, and even more so, of the uncountable death’s ahead. Dig your teeth in its flesh, just like I did, and absorb. NOA’S D’ARK is yours as much as it is ours. And there is Magick, lots of it to salvage, it can be yours too, and hell yes, black as night it is!”

Cryptosis sign to Century Media Records & Release single and video to “Decypher”!!
Century Media Records are happy to welcome Dutch futuristic multi-metal eruption CRYPTOSIS!
A million miles from the old school fury of their previous incarnation, CRYPTOSIS have a sound that defies expectations and limitations with equal intensity. A dizzying blend of visceral extremity, symphonic pomp and wild, progressive invention.
Elements of blackened death, progressive thrash and grandiose symphonic metal are all present and correct, but Cryptosis have combined them in an exhilarating, unprecedented new form that promises to satisfy on both primal and cerebral levels.
Philipp Schulte, Director Century Media Records Europe comments:
“Getting completely surprised by a new band doesn’t happen very often, but CRYPTOSIS really impressed me. What this young band manages to deliver is nothing but a mind-blowing hell ride through the realm of extreme metal. What CRYPTOSIS do is not only for fans of Vektor, Coroner, Sadus or Demolition Hammer, but generally for everyone who is into death and thrash metal played at high speed on the highest level of aggression and technicality. The usual label hyperbole? If you think so, then check out the song. Welcome to Century Media, guys. We couldn’t be happier to have you with us!”
The band comments: “In light of recent events we are beyond happy that we are teaming up with Century Media Records to release and promote our debut album. It feels really good to work with such a professional team that understands our artistic vision and gives us a lot of freedom and resources to take everything we do to the next level.”
English metal legends CARCASS are back with their first collection of new music in 7 years. The Despicable EP is out on October 30th via Nuclear Blast. Today, the band release a new song titled "The Long And Winding Bier Road."
“The gift that keeps on giving, if you want it or not. Please try not to stare this gift horse too hard in the mouth….another song from the forthcoming EP taken from the new album recording session…..don’t worry there are still unreleased songs with even dafter titles!” - Jeff Walker
The new EP, Despicable, offers fans a taste of the brutality that awaits on the band’s heavily anticipated 7th studio album coming in 2021.
