PRESS RELEASE:
Unorthodox Black Thrashers Torrefy, in collaboration with No Clean Singing, have premiered "Enslaved New World," the second single from forthcoming album, Necronomisongs. Check it out below!

Coinciding with today's premiere, the band has also unveiled the artwork for Necronomisongs, as seen above (credit: Blackstory).
Torrefy released the following statement about the new single:
"Enslaved New World is the next track we've premiered from our upcoming album Necronomisongs! With every track on the album being based on a favorite book of vocalist John Ferguson, this next one is from the fantasy series The Death Gate Cycle. One of his favorite takes on the fantasy genre; it lulls you into a sense of familiarity with an almost paint-by-numbers fantasy setting and story, which quickly evolves into a vast conceptual tapestry of excellent lore, characters and subjects."
The band previously released the official video for "Of Wind and Worm," the first single from Necronomisongs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99z15p-7HXE
Necronomisongs is targeted for a Fall 2024 release.
FFO: Skeletonwitch, Absu, Vektor, Witchery, Nocturnal
Necronomisongs Credits:
Recorded by Torrefy and Cody Baresich at Circle A Studios.
Mixed by Cody Baresich.
Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.

Ashen Horde Unveils New Black/Death EP “Decayed” in Celebration of 10th Anniversary
Progressive extreme metal band Ashen Horde is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its debut album with a brand-new EP! Decayed, which features four new songs that tie back to the band’s previous four albums, will be available on limited 10” clear vinyl, cd and digital. Along with the four new recordings, the cd will feature 12 additional songs, compiling the band’s original, nonalbum material released from 2015-2021. The EP is currently available for preorder at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ashen-horde-10th-anniversary-ep-decayed#/
Lead single, “The Reaping,” serves as a mini-sequel to the 2015 album Nine Plagues.
It picks up many years after the album, and looks at one descendent of the people onto whom the plagues (detailed on the album) fell. Due to the belief that their ancestors were cursed, the bloodline has been viewed as lesser, and all members of it have been treated as useless dregs. But one among them is done being trod upon, and vows to break the curse by taking vengeance on all who have treated them as less. The song juxtaposes blast-beat driven sections with melodic passages; brutally harsh vocals with majestic clean sections; in other words, quintessential Ashen Horde.
Formed by guitarist/vocalist Trevor Portz in 2013, Ashen Horde was created to be an extreme metal band that refuses to be bound by any one genre, instead embracing elements from across the extreme metal (and even rock) spectrum. Originally a one-man band, Ashen Horde has expanded to include a full lineup, including renowned drummer Robin Stone, bassist Igor Panasewicz, and new vocalist Karl Chamberlain. Chamberlain, who makes his debut on this EP, replaced long-time vocalist Stevie Boiser, who is currently fronting tech death stalwarts Inferi.
The band’s most recent full length, Antimony, was released in 2023 by Transcending Obscurity Records, and received much critical acclaim for its diversity and complexity. As noted by Everything Is Noise, “grungy, technical, blackened, progressive, doomy, melodic, atmospheric – many adjectives describe Antimony…” The band is currently at work on the follow up, which promises to follow the same path of genre-blending extremity.
Though the band have not performed due to the fact that they live all over the globe, discussions are in the works to finally bring Ashen Horde to the stage. Portz, having recently completed a tour with his band Abhoria, is keen to at long last do some Ashen Horde dates in the near future.
