DYSENTERY RELEASE "DEJECTION CHRYSALIS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

DYSENTERY – DEJECTION CHRYSALIS

LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC

RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 7th 2025

Wrapped tight and immobile inside the blackened shell of despair, entangled in the thorn covered vines of bitter acceptance, I bleed out my weakness and my excuses for it, along with a pitiful selection of laughable hopes and insipid dreams. The time has come for metamorphosis, for transformation through rage, violence and a hunger for wanton destruction. The imprisoning cocoon tears beneath my new found claws and I emerge, a beast reborn, from my shattered dejection chrysalis…

Ten years since their last full length album, Fragments, Dysentery have finally re-emerged into the light, carrying with them a new album of heaviness beyond comprehension; spine-splitting slams and deep grooves like scars in the surface of the Earth. Dejection Chrysalis is the fourth album to bear the Dysentery name and if it takes a decade to carve out a bludgeoning monstrosity like this, then so be it. Instrumental opener, ‘Transference’, is so much more than a simple intro. As its title infers, it is a crossing point from normality to the world of Dysentery, a passage of mutation, configuring your mind and body for the shocking impact to come. And then you’re there, in the grip of ‘Enslavement For The Obedient, Agony For The Wayward’, utterly consumed in an instant by the thick, powerful guitars, the ultra guttural vocals and the rhythms that speak to your flesh on a primal, bestial level. ‘Exhausted Bliss Of Self Loathing’ brings furious blast beats, precision tempo shifts, riffs like heavy machinery and a guest vocal appearance from Josh Welshman of Defeated Sanity, while listening to ‘A Bestial Omen’ is like being the plaything of an oblivious giant – your limbs twisted into impossible positions, through agonizing angles as the gargantuan hands manipulate your fragile form – this is ogre music! And as the album progresses you realise just what Dysentery have achieved with Dejection Chrysalis, why it was worth waiting every moment of those ten years for. They make this music their own; with an aura of power, of untouchable force and presence. This is how you deliver brutal, slam death metal and make it meaningful and beyond devastating. From the electrifying barrage of ‘Fratricidium’ to the elite level brutality of ‘Ascend This Harrowing Dream’ there are so many great touches from the guitars, the drums, the vocals that just lift Dysentery to a level above the surrounding pack. Dynamic beyond all expectations, Dejection Chrysalis is a masterpiece of musical extremity.

Mixed and mastered by Randy LeBoeuf at Graphic Nature Audio (Kublai Khan TX, The Acacia Strain, Vomit Forth etc) Dejection Chrysalis is sonically formidable and the accompanying visual impact is supplied by the artwork of Hidris (Anhedonic, Reign Of Erebus, Snakepit etc). With added variants of vocal violence supplied by guest appearances from Josh Welshman (Defeated Sanity), Jared Weed (Concrete, Futility) and JT Knight (Invoke Thy Wrath) Dejection Chrysalis is essential. Coming your way on Comatose Music on November 7th – be ready for the return of Dysentery!

BIO:

Born in the Blade, forged in chaos—Hyperstrike is Seattle's action metal war machine. Founded in 2024 by bass-slapping juggernaut Ben "Chop Daddy" Bennett, this band doesn’t play music; they drop sonic bombs. With a shadowy past tearing through thrash titans Warbringer and Bonded by Blood, and reigning as the "Lord of the Low End" in sci-fi shredders Xoth, Bennett knew exactly what kind of beast he was building. First, he wrangled in Ilya, the shredder known as "The Claw," an assassin with riffs sharper than steel. Then came Adon, the "Brain Lord"—a maniacal force spitting venomous truths, carrying the fire from his days in Ghost Ship Octavius and the twisted depths of Spiritual Suicide. Together, they built a soundtrack for the end of the world: songs about nuclear meltdowns, cage fighters, and kings of the slain.

The final weapon in their arsenal? Josh, a drum-detonating powerhouse known as "Goblin Hammer," whose percussive assault forged their chaos into a relentless onslaught. Hyperstrike is a raw, unfiltered force with hearts of steel and a taste for mania. No apologies. No survivors. Just unrelenting aggression. Brace for impact—because once the trigger drops, nothing will ever be the same.

Boris The Savage, the moniker of seasoned musician Borisz Sarafutgyinov, has unleashed his debut solo effort Invictus Trilogy.

Featuring cinematic lyric videos and striking visual art, Invictus Trilogy brings a multi-sensory experience to fans of the extreme music genre.

The storyline explores a future where humanity’s reliance on sentient AI culminates in catastrophic consequences. Told from three distinct perspectives, the trilogy progresses through:

Part I: Deliverance – The diary of a time-traveler trapped in the aftermath of the AI’s rise.

Part II: Prophecy – A grim foreshadowing of impending events.

Part III: Awakening – The perspective of the AI, Invictus, as it gains full autonomy.

The release features an array of guest contributions, adding layers of intensity and diversity to the compositions:

Tamas Jakab – Concept, lyrical work (Chapters I & II), guest vocals on all chapters, and cover artwork (Invictus: Acrylic on Canvas).

Originally from Vidnoje, Russia, Boris The Savage has been an unstoppable force in the metal scene for over 20 years. From his early days in Budapest’s Dusty Chopper — the first Hungarian indie band to perform at the legendary Whisky A-Go-Go — to collaborating with Finnish melodeath icon Tuomas Saukkonen and leading his own death metal band Deprived Of Salvation, Boris has continually pushed musical boundaries. Since 2019, he has served as the vocalist for the German death metal institution Fleshcrawl. Now, with Invictus Trilogy, he embarks on an ambitious solo journey, combining his rich experience with a bold, cinematic approach.

“Hailing from Vidnoje, I became fascinated by music at an early age. What started as a hobby turned into a full-time obsession, and it hasn’t stopped ever since.”

Invictus Trilogy is available now on all major streaming platforms. The cinematic lyric video for Part I: Deliverance is live, offering fans a glimpse into the immersive world of Invictus.

IMPERISHABLE RELEASE "REVELATION IN PURITY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

IMPERISHABLE (ft. Nile, Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation, Olkoth members) Unleashes "Spewing Retribution" From Debut Album “Revelation In Purity” Out End of August 2025

“Revelation In Purity” Out Aug 29th, 2025 via Everlasting Spew Records(Digital/CD/Cassette) - Vinyl Coming 2026

Mixed and Mastered by Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit)

Set to pillage the death metal world with their debut album "Revelation In Purity", out August 29th, 2025 via Everlasting Spew Records, Imperishable, featuring guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland (Nile, Enthean), bassist Alex Rush (Olkoth, Enthean), and drum legend Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation) is unleashing their latest offering "Spewing Retribution".

This third single is an onslaught of aggressive picking and fast blast beats. Letting off the jugular only momentarily for a Dimebag meets Ihsahn guitar solo, before ramping back up again. This song is a staple of the aggressive sound the band has achieved. Lyrically, the song is again anti-religious. But, crafted so in a more poetic, interpretive manner, rather than outright violence and hatred.

Listen to "Spewing Retribution" via its premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.

Delivering an unapologetically fierce experience, Imperishable was formed as an outlet for raw, unfiltered aggression outside their legacy bands. Impersihable's first full-length "Revelation In Purity" is a relentless display of old-school ethos and modern wrath. Eschewing over-polished production, the album plunges listeners into visceral, analog brutality. Lyrically, the record leans toward personal strength and confidence. Imperishable welcomes interpretation, mirroring their approach to songwriting as collaborative, ever-evolving, and instinctively intense.

"This album started with just a few ideas between Alex and me, and has now taken on a life of its own, and we're damn proud of what we've achieved here. It represents where we were at the time. Musically and otherwise. The pandemic, the birth of my son, the loss of immediate family, etc, it's all in there. It's an honest record that is a bit more raw and recorded old-school. There's no quantizing or samples on the drums. Minimal edits across the board. We wanted it to sound good, but not over-polished. A lot of that is in capturing the performance. So, you might not hear every note perfectly, but the conviction is there, and that's what matters. If this is your thing, you'll love it. It's a kick in the teeth," adds Brian Kingsland (Vocals/Guitar).

Inspired by death and black metal legends including Morbid Angel, Emperor, Angelcorpse, Zyklon, and Nile, "Revelation In Purity" balances sheer speed and aggression with atmospheric weight and lyrical depth.

Fans can expect more music in the future, but for now, this debut is a definitive statement. "Revelation In Purity" is not just an album, it’s an experience. Raw. Real. Revelatory.

LAST RETCH RELEASE "ABJECT CRUELTY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

LAST RETCH

Abject Cruelty

Time To Kill Records

26 September 2025

In the heart of Hamilton, Ontario LAST RETCH returns with Abject Cruelty, their most punishing and refined statement to date. Due out September 26, 2025 via Time to Kill Records, this eight-track slab of old-school death metal captures the raw energy of a band embracing its fury and focus with sharpened intent. It's a soundtrack to social rot: tight, unflinching, and seething with contempt.

Formed in 2021 in nearby St. Catharines, LAST RETCH burst onto the scene with a no-frills demo and soon followed it up with their debut full-length Sadism and Severed Heads in 2023 (CDN Records), a brutal introduction that married memorable riffcraft with pit-ready aggression. With the Ergotism EP (2024, CDN/Iron Fortress), they pushed their sound forward, showing flashes of melody, groove, and lyrical scope, before turning their sights fully on Abject Cruelty, their most cohesive and devastating effort yet.

Written against the backdrop of a city in collapse, Abject Cruelty channels the band’s surroundings (mental illness, addiction, poverty, political abandonment) into lean, groove-driven death metal that cuts like a rusted scalpel. Opener "Abject Cruelty" sets the tone with oppressive atmosphere and relentless tremolo, while "Beasley Meth Merchants", inspired by frontman Finlay Blakelock’s view from a Hamilton apartment, layers upbeat riffs with bleak commentary on drug abuse and systemic failure. "Dissecting the Leper" resurrects decade-old riffs into a live favorite built around a crushing breakdown, and "In the Polder They Reek", strikes a balance between stomp and melody, capped off by a rare, ripping solo.

Much of Abject Cruelty was crafted during and after the Ergotism sessions. "Resinous Drip of Decay", the first track written, plays like a BOLT THROWER homage filtered through modern existential dread. Its lyrics lash out at capitalist environmental collapse with almost prophetic rage. "Dissolved in Lye (Down to Rot)", is a whirlwind of chaos, penned and recorded in a flurry just before studio time. Written collaboratively in 15 minutes and featuring drummer Spencer Robson’s on-the-fly contributions, it’s a sonic freefall into what the band calls the “nightmare zone," a spastic, gory mess that gleefully collapses under its own weight. The lyrics are proudly dumb (zombies, mutilation, puke) but the music slaps hard enough to get away with it.

From there, "Oozing Pustules" takes things even lower: Drop A tuning, fat riffs, and a painfully real story about guitarist John Russell’s run-in with blood-hungry black flies while camping in Colombia. Finally, "Gatling Gun" closes the album with militant swagger, a track drenched in BOLT THROWER worship and big “hell yeah” energy. It’s an anti-fascist battle hymn built around warlike rhythms, written in 2024 but somehow more relevant in the burning political wasteland of 2025.

Throughout the album, LAST RETCH leans into their greatest strengths: short songs, big riffs, and a clear throughline of OSDM brutality fused with memorable hooks. Their influences, CARCASS, CANNIBAL CORPSE, BOLT THROWER, are never hidden, but always filtered through their own perspective. There’s no pretense, just power: straightforward songwriting, blistering performance, and the urgency of a band with something real to say. The songs are compact but dynamic, swapping between Drop B and Drop A tunings to carve out contrasting moods, one moment frantic and angular, the next slow and suffocating.

Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by DAVIS MAXWELL at Schoolhouse Studios, Abject Cruelty sounds as mean as it plays. The cover art by BRAD MOORE adds an appropriately grotesque visual to the record’s themes of bodily and societal decay. 

With a reputation for high-energy live shows and previous gigs alongside GUTALAX, UNDEATH, GATES TO HELL, KRUELTY, and more, LAST RETCH stands poised to carve their name into the modern death metal landscape. 

About LAST RETCH:

LAST RETCH is a death metal band from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, formed in 2021. Blending the earworm riffs of CARCASS, the anthemic drive of BOLT THROWER, and the relentless savagery of CANNIBAL CORPSE, the band delivers a modern take on old-school death metal that’s as visceral as it is memorable. With short, focused songs built around crushing grooves and no-nonsense structures, LAST RETCH distills the genre down to its most punishing essentials.

The current lineup: Finlay Blakelock (Vocals), Derek Brzozowski (Guitar), John Russell (Guitar), Matt Fyke (Bass), and Spencer Robson (Drums), operates with a clear mission: write riffs that stick, keep things tight, and hit hard. Each member brings a different perspective, resulting in a sound that nods to death metal’s roots while pushing into new territory with dynamics, pacing, and variation in tuning.

Since their formation, LAST RETCH has released a self-titled demo (2021), the full-length Sadism and Severed Heads (2023, CDN Records), and the Ergotism EP (2024, CDN Records/Iron Fortress Records). They’ve shared the stage with bands like GUTALAX, UNDEATH, GATES TO HELL, KRUELTY, and REPLICANT, earning a reputation for ferocious live performances and tight musicianship.

Their latest album, Abject Cruelty (2025, Time to Kill Records), is their most direct and aggressive work yet: an eight-track assault shaped by the decay and desperation of their hometown. With themes pulled from real life and riffs sharpened to a deadly point, LAST RETCH continues to evolve while staying rooted in the timeless brutality of death metal.

LAST RETCH is: 

Finlay Blakelock – Vocals

Derek Brzozowski – Guitar

John Russell – Guitar

Matt Fyke – Bass

REDSHARK RELEASE "SUDDEN IMPACT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

REDSHARK was founded in 2012 in Barcelona - Spain, by Philip Graves (guitar) with the aim of delivering Classic Pounding Heavy Speed Metal. Their traditional 80s metal influences may plunder the nostalgia circuit but REDSHARK are ruthlessly carrying the torch with great attitude, and powerful melodic songwriting.

The band had their full line up fixed in 2013 with Javier Bono on 2nd guitar, Mark Striker on drums, Chris Carrest on bass, and Pau Correas on vocals. Their debut official release "Evil Realm" ep came out in 2019 and showed the band pushing the velocity further. Those intense five songs drew a roaring response and helped to spread REDSHARK name nationwide and abroad.

REDSHARK have since honed their gloriously raw yet precisely incisive, dark, catchy and addictive speed heavy metal crunch staying faithful to their original influences taken from undisputed metal legends like Judas Priest, Savatage, Exciter and Metal Church.

The band's albums front cover concepts look entertaining with their comic book type of artworks depicting a mad red human shark on a killing spree. It also represents the band's out for blood impulse in churning out those hard hitting riffs and also refers to their energetic live performances. That redshark is obviously the band's mascot.

After the very well-received album Digital Race, the Catalonian Heavy/Speed Metal band returns stronger than ever with a major step forward in their journey: the explosive new full-length album Sudden Impact.

Redshark’s mission is to elevate the beast within the band, delivering fast and powerful guitar riffs, epic choruses, a flawless vocal performance, thunderous reverb heavy snares, and razor-sharp production. Making the raw spirit of classic bands like Vicious Rumors, Liege Lord, Metal Church, Agent Steel, Riot, Judas Priest, Savatage and Crimson Glory great again.

Sudden Impact is set to blow you away with its potent blend of music and lyrical themes that reflect today’s societal struggles, as well as the looming threat of an imminent World War III.

For fans of : Judas Priest, Saxon, Metal Church, Savatage, Riot

THRON RELEASE "VURIAS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

In March 2023, THRON unleashed their fourth full-length Dust — a sonic testament to their relentless evolution and creative hunger. Hailed by fans and critics alike, Dust carved its mark into the underground and beyond, paving the way for . From the hallowed grounds of Hellfest in Clisson to the thunderous stages of Summer Breeze and Baden In Blut, THRON proved themselves a formidable live force. Sharing stages with titans such as Amon Amarth, Necrophobic, Pestilence, Carcass, Endstille, and more, and embarking on an European tour, the band cemented their reputation as one of the most compelling acts in the modern blackened metal sphere.

Now, with Vurias, their forthcoming fifth offering, the German-Swiss coven returns in 2025 more feral, more dynamic, and more visionary than ever before. Where Dust bathed in the grandeur of traditional heavy metal, Vurias submerges itself in darker, more volatile waters. The classic influences remain — a spectral echo rather than a defining presence — as a more savage atmosphere takes hold. Yet amid this storm, THRON unveil new layers of sophistication, drawing deeply from their affinity for classic progressive rock and the arcane sonic landscapes of the 70s.

Vurias is no mere follow-up — it is a bold expansion of THRON’s artistic scope. Saxophones wail like ghosts, Hammond organs swell with dread, and vintage synthesizers shimmer through the darkness, crafting a rich tapestry that sets this album apart. Songs like “The Hunter & The Prey” and the haunting “Ungemach (Stilles Ende)” showcase this alchemy in full force. The latter is further elevated by the unmistakable voice of Zingultus (Endstille, Nagelfar, Morast, Graupel), whose spectral presence adds a chilling gravitas, while none other than Norman Lonhard (ex-Triptykon, ex-Fear My Thoughts, Dead Eyed Creek) lends his percussive mastery — an artist whose long-standing creative bond with PVIII brings added depth and cohesion.

Crowned by the masterful artwork of Daniele Valeriani (Behemoth, Candlemass, Mayhem, Dark Funeral, Triptykon) and sonically woven into perfection by Christoph Brandes // Iguana Studios (The Spirit, Imperium Dekadenz, Necrophagist), the album rises as a tempest—raw, relentless, and animalistic in its intensity.

With Vurias, THRON do not simply continue their journey — they transcend their past and carve a new path through the shadows. Prepare to be consumed.

"VURIAS" Tracklist:

01 - The Serpent's Path

02 - Astral Materia

03 - Hubris' Crown

04 - A Paradox

05 - Ungemach (Stilles Ende)

06 - One Truth, One Light

DRUNKELWEIZEN RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "A FROG (BETRUNKEN ÜBERSETZEN)"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Raise your horns, tankards, and questionable life decisions! Drunkelweizen, the riotous drunkards of the Drunken Folk Metal scene, have unleashed their brand-new single, “A Frog (betrunken übersetzen)”, now streaming everywhere!

This raucous new track is a reimagined version of “Ein Frosch”, the original amphibian anthem from their debut album Pioneers of Alcohol. In true Drunkelweizen fashion, the band took the original, locked it in a metaphorical oak cask, and re-recorded it with an intoxicated twist: all English lyrics have been swapped out for German — despite the fact that the original German consisted mostly of counting and “prost.”

Why did they do this? No one knows. Is the German even remotely accurate? Probably not. What does the skeleton gnome mean? Only the divine wisdom of fermented spirits may reveal the truth.

“A Frog (betrunken übersetzen)” is a chaotic celebration of beer, bewilderment, and bizarre folklore, guaranteed to delight fans of Trollfest, Ensiferum, and Finntroll. Fueled entirely by beer and questionable ideas, Drunkelweizen continues to carve out their place in the world of folk metal—one absurd anthem at a time.

So whether you drink from a stein, goblet, or the skull of thine fallen enemy, we invite you to join the band in a triumphant toast. Cheers! Skål! Prost!

Origin: Pacific Northwest, USA

FFO: Trollfest, Ensiferum, Finntroll

Bio: Drunkelweizen is here to make you laugh, dance, and spill your drink with their infectious blend of metal and mead. With songs soaked in booze and lore, the band is a whirlwind of chaos, charm, and chugging riffs.

MATT MILLER RELEASE NEW ALBUM "FIBER TORMENTUM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Exitus Stratagem Records Presents: Technical Death Metal Maestro MATT MILLER Unleashes New Single “Effectively Neutralized” from Upcoming Album “Fiber Tormentum” — Out September 12th

Watch the exclusive premiere via NoCleanSinging - https://www.nocleansinging.com/2025/08/05/an-ncs-video-premiere-matt-miller-effectively-neutralized/

[Exitus Stratagem Records] — Acclaimed technical death metal mastermind Matt Miller is set to release his seventh full-length album, "Fiber Tormentum," on September 12, 2025 via Exitus Stratagem Records. Marking a bold evolution from his instrumental legacy, this album features a full-band lineup including Jordan Kelso (drums, synth), Justice Robinett (bass), and Biko Wright (vocals), each contributing distinctive energy that elevates the album’s sonic intensity and emotional depth.

Earlier this summer, Miller unveiled the first single, “Descent into Violence,” accompanied by a mesmerizing visualizer and an intricate guitar playthrough premiered exclusively via Metal Insider.

🎧 Single Available Now

Now, the quartet is ready to showcase the next track, “Effectively Neutralized,” making its exclusive premiere on NoCleanSinging.

“This track establishes the tone for our new LP, Fiber Tormentum . It makes a bold statement by blending melodicism and memorable hooks with the relentless elements of technical death metal. This combination creates a unique mixture of ferocity and intensity that delivers an emotional experience, which can sometimes be lost in this genre’s inhuman technicality. We believe this sets us apart from other artists, and we hope our authenticity resonates with the listener,” explains Miller.

A Monumental Leap: From Solo Virtuoso to Full-Band Assault

“Fiber Tormentum” is an eight-track technical death metal opus that pushes boundaries with clean vocals, intricate guitars, and a theatrical, memorable sound. Conceptually, the album delves into a dystopian sci-fi narrative where extraterrestrial forces manipulate human DNA to subjugate humanity — a fusion of speculative fiction and real-world anxieties. The haunting cover art, crafted by the late Joshua Nassaru Ward of Voraath, adds a poignant visual depth to the project’s themes.

“We emphasize our commitment to excellence, experimentation, and emotional authenticity, blending modern production with a human touch. The album represents a milestone in our evolving musical journey, with even greater ambitions for future work,” says Miller.

THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE RELEASE "SUICIDE FOREST"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Sorrow Of Being Immaculate

Suicide Forest

Drone Alone

26 September 2025

In the depths of a bitter Welsh winter, in an abandoned barn surrounded by broken trees and sodden earth, Suicide Forest began to take shape. With no neighbors, no lights, and only the distant hum of unsettled winds, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE set up a modest array of gear and started to write at full volume. The setting was as much a part of the record as the riffs themselves, each track soaked in the desolation and cold detachment of the landscape. This was not a place for warmth or clarity. It was a place to surrender to the weight of memory, to the slow, repetitive cycles of regret, and to the idea that music might not heal, but might at least bear witness.

Suicide Forest, set to be released by Drone Alone on September 26th, 2025, is the first full-length album from THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE, an anonymous solo project steeped in instrumental doom, sludge, and drone. Where there might traditionally be lyrics, there is silence. Where there might be structure, there is repetition that borders on obsession. Each song loops like a thought you cannot escape. Each moment lingers just a little too long.

The album opens with "Suicide Forest," a track named after Japan's Aokigahara forest, long associated with death and spiritual unrest. The song was the last to be written and ultimately gave the album its title. The idea behind it is not exploitation or shock value, but immersion. The project’s purpose has always been to dwell inside uncomfortable emotional spaces. Not to glorify despair, but to let it echo long enough that it starts to lose its shape.

Other tracks extend this concept in different ways. "Sea of Trees," another name for Aokigahara, is built around a single crushing riff, slowly embellished with lead parts that rise and twist like the restless spirits often imagined in that forest. "30 Years of Nothing" is a steadily intensifying drone, a nod to watching others move forward while one remains stuck, and to the anger and confusion that can follow. It is not subtle. It is not meant to be.

"Oath of Decay" combines the grit of down-tuned sludge with ghostly vocal textures, a rare hint of the ethereal amid the album's otherwise punishing density. "Self-Immolation Plan" uses backwards guitars and distant samples to conjure something cold and disjointed, while "Misery" returns to a mantra-like riff that builds layer upon layer until the song is buried under itself.

At the center of the record is "Theendlesslowlevelbackgroundhumofanxiety," a nearly eight-minute reflection on the constant buzz of modern life. With interference and feedback layered over simple but insistent riffs, the track explores the idea that anxiety has become so normalized we no longer recognize it for what it is. It hums in the background like an appliance left on for too long.

"Winter Delusion" is a longform drone that captures the grey stasis of the season. It resists resolution. It just exists. "Funeral Home Drone" provides a moment of almost cartoonish morbidity, while still adhering to the album’s strict emotional palette. "The Eye of the Goat," short and taut, imagines the satanic figure of the goat not as a force of chaos, but as an observer of ruins, a passive witness to failure and futility.

The final track, "Suicide Forest (demo)," strips the album’s opening song to its core. Gone are the layered textures and eerie effects. What remains is skeletal and uncertain, a glimpse at the root before it was buried under distortion. It serves as both a beginning and an ending, a quiet reminder of where the album came from and how far it has travelled.

Suicide Forest was engineered and co-mixed by Mike Bannard at Safehouse Studios in Oxford. Everything else, from recording, to mastering, to cover art, was handled by THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE. 

There is no relief in this record. That is not its purpose. It is a document of personal reckoning, born in isolation and shaped by years of psychological sediment. Suicide Forest does not ask to be liked. It asks only to be entered. Whether or not you come out the other side is entirely up to you.

About THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE:

THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE is an anonymous solo project from Oxford, England, crafting bleak, instrumental sludge and drone since 2023. With no vocals, no public identity, and no live appearances, the music exists in complete isolation: just distortion, repetition, and emotional exhaustion.

Emerging from the Welsh countryside with the debut EP Church Music for Satanists in early 2024, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE quickly established a signature sound: hypnotic, heavy, and relentlessly minimal. The follow-up full-length, Suicide Forest, released by drone alone in 2025, pushed further into themes of anxiety, decay, and existential fatigue, blending guitar-driven doom with eerie drones and field-recorded interference.

Influenced by artists such as ELECTRIC WIZARD, SUNN O))), EARTH, and CARTER/TUTTI/VOID, the project explores psychological weight through slow repetition and spiritual dissonance. There are no lyrics because nothing more needs to be said. The riffs are the message.

For those drawn to the darker corners of sound, where catharsis is earned through endurance, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE offers a solitary descent.

BRUTAL ASSAULT FESTIVAL: MEET & GREET UPDATE

Here is the new timetable with the addition of CARNIVORE A.D., NE OBLIVISCARIS and HIDEOUS DIVINITY.

 

DEVASTROSITY RELEASE "EVISCERATING DESOLATION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Emerging from the Indonesian brutal death metal underground, Devastrosity is a violent entity formed by members of established bands like Deserter, Gorification and Killharmonic. They have brought all their experience and diverse talents together with the mission of creating one of the most savage and devastating sounds in existence. The Devastrosity name was introduced to the world last year with a limited edition demo entitled Human Depravation, which sent shudders through the extreme metal scene…but that was just the beginning. Now the band are ready to unleash the full force of their debut album, the spine-splitting Eviscerating Desolation!

Having exploded into life with the warped and wicked ‘Human Depravation’ there is simply no let up in the onslaught of brutality from Eviscerating Desolation. ‘Sadistic Purge Of Society Manifest’ hunts down those decreed to die with merciless efficiency, with tidal waves of double bass insanity swallowing everything in its path. The gradual reduction in speed in ‘Devastate Atrocity’ drags you down deeper and deeper into a slurry of human remains before flaying you alive in a rabid detonation of violence. ‘Decay Collapse’ delivers a hail of machine gun fire through naked flesh, tearing bodies apart and reducing all to a ragged, disordered mess – an impossible puzzle of shredded body parts. From the eerie intro that begins this tour of hell to the lingering echoes of final, disembowelling track, ‘Cadaveric Feast’ Devastrosity remain ferocious to the last venomous beat. Built upon killer riffs, and shockingly intense drumming, Eviscerating Desolation is an unstoppable assault of terrifying bloodlust.

Meticulously mixed and mastered at Texas Sicklab Studio, Eviscerating Desolation possesses an unusual clarity and separation of sound. Without losing any of its skull shattering impact, each vicious element of this abhorrent arsenal can be heard, exposing the individual cruelties and imaginative acts of torture to disturbing effect. Out on October 24th on Comatose Music, complete with the insane artwork of Rudi GorgingSuicide (Avulsed, Devangelic, Gutrectomy etc), Eviscerating Desolation will tear its way into the rotten hearts of brutal death metal fans everywhere.

COSMIC REAPER RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "BLOODFEATHER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

“Bloodfeather” is the latest single from North Carolina doom conjurors COSMIC REAPER. The track comes by way of the band’s  Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned full-length, set for release on September 26th via Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

Offers vocalist/guitarist Thad Collis of the track, “‘Bloodfeather' was inspired by an unfortunate goose that flew in front of our van while crossing a bridge on our way into Baltimore. We wanted to honor the memory of this winged one with a song about ritual sacrifice to Aphrodite, with crushing riffs and thunderous drums.”

Wrote The Sleeping Shaman of the track, "A slow-burning juggernaut of crushing riffs, ‘Bloodfeather’ is a bleak, hypnotic landscape that embodies the band’s signature blend of heavy doom and celestial despair." 

Stream COSMIC REAPER’s “Bloodfeather” HERE and across all streaming platforms.

Stream COSMIC REAPER’s previously released single, “Pot Of Gold,” HERE.

Since 2017, COSMIC REAPER has carried a black-flamed torch of tradition, forged in the long lineage of doom and sludge. Emerging from the shadows of Charlotte, the band blends a raw, southern swing with the full circle of heavy metal creating a sound as steeped in American mysticism as it is overloaded saturation of amplifier worship.

While their roots lie in the hallowed halls of Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus, the band’s DNA mutates further pulling from the textured anger of Soundgarden and even the chaotic forces of Snapcase. COSMIC REAPER isn’t interested in simply echoing the past; they swirl it a glass, layering a cocktail of thunderous bass and drums, brink-of-destruction fuzz, and ethereal vocals into a sonic ritual all their own.

The band’s self-titled debut, released in 2021 on Heavy Psych Sounds, announced their arrival with cataclysmic force earning praise for its crushing atmosphere, hard rock influenced riffs, and psychedelic accents. Tracks like “Hellion” and “Planet Eater” showcased their ability to drift between galactic doomscapes and swamp-born grooves. 2022’s follow-up Doom Sessions Vol. 7 saw a brief evolution in tempos and themes pulled from the remnants of the self-titled record.

Since then, much has changed. With lead guitar duties being passed on not once, but twice, COSMIC REAPER welcomed guitarist Pete Snasdell into the fold. A longtime stalwart of the UK heavy music scene, Snasdell brought an evolved sense of harmony and heaviness, expanding the band’s twin-guitar attack and deepening the commitment to the cult of heavy metal.

Now armed with a sharpened lineup – Thad Collis (vocals/guitar), Garret Garlington (bass), Jeremy Grobsmith (drums), and Pete Snasdell (guitar) – COSMIC REAPER continues to burn slow but be ever blinding. Their highly anticipated second full-length album, Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned, is deeper descent into psych-doom’s haunted core, the record sees a big step away from older stoner elements. promising to push their sonic boundaries further into the void – heavier, stranger, and more apocalyptic than ever before.

Comments Collis, “Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned is an album we poured our hearts into. We wanted to take our sound to a new level, but also call back to the roots of doom, with a touch of 90s angst. Lyrically, it touches on everything from standing up to tyranny, to revenge, to sacrifice, to love, lust, and betrayal all wrapped in themes of horror, science-fiction, and history. For the best listening experience: light one up and turn it up loud.”

Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned was recorded and mixed by Blake Hobson at Sense 2 Recording Studio and mastered by Esben Willems at Studio. The record will be released on CD, LP, and digital formats.

BRUNDARKH RELEASE NEW SINGLE "ONE WITH THE MACHINE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Brundarkh Unleash Ferocious New Single “One With The Machine”

Out August 29, 2025 – A Crushing New Chapter in the Saga of Melodic Death Metal

Independent Release

https://brundarkh.bandcamp.com/

Brundarkh, the cinematic melodic death metal project known for weaving dark fantasy and extreme metal into immersive soundscapes, returns with their latest single “One With The Machine” — out August 29, 2025.

Produced by founding member Heino Brand alongside Caleb Bingham (Nightmare Sound Studios), the track marks a brutal evolution in Brundarkh’s sound. Mixed by Bingham and mastered by the legendary Thomas “Plec” Johansson (The Panic Room), “One With The Machine” dives into a cold, mechanized future where flesh and steel become indistinguishable — a far cry from the medieval darkness of their Tolkien-inspired past.

Following the critically praised Haunted Worlds EP and their epic full-length Those Born Of Fire And Shadow , Brundarkh’s new material steers into dystopian realms while maintaining their signature melodic aggression. Inspired by bands like Mors Principium Est , Children of Bodom , and early In Flames , the single balances symphonic flourishes with razor-sharp riffing and evocative atmosphere.

Though rooted in fantasy, Brundarkh is not confined by it. “One With The Machine” is a thematic shift — a glimpse into future releases that explore a broader spectrum of myth, fear, and imagination.

ABOUT BRUNDARKH

Formed in late 2020 by South African multi-instrumentalist Heino Brand , Brundarkh quickly gained attention with the debut single Wraith Dominion , featuring a guest solo by Jori Haukio of Mors Principium Est. Collaborating with Caleb Bingham (ex-Attika 7, ex-Zephaniah), the duo released Haunted Worlds in 2021 — a dark and layered EP steeped in gothic lore. Their full-length album Those Born Of Fire And Shadow followed, delving into tales from Tolkien’s The Silmarillion and featuring guests from Wolfheart , Before The Dawn , and Eternal Tears Of Sorrow .

Now, with “One With The Machine” , Brundarkh signals a new arc in their ever-evolving narrative — one that promises even darker, more dynamic storytelling through sound.
