SELIAS RELEASE "KILLKARMA"

PRESS RELEASE:

Killkarma marks a darker, more emotionally intense chapter for SELIAS. The album merges crushing riffs, moody synths, and raw vocals into a tightly crafted, immersive metal experience. Fans are already getting a preview of what’s to come. SELIAS has been showcasing new material from Killkarma on their multiple 2025 Canadian tours, delivering high-octane performances complete with immersive lighting, smoke effects, and dramatic synth moments that elevate their already intense live presence. Musically, SELIAS draws influence from bands like In Flames, Soilwork, Rammstein, and Orbit Culture, offering a sound that balances melodic brutality with cinematic depth. The album promises to be an emotionally charged and unapologetically heavy statement from one of Canada’s rising metal acts. A sure not to miss for 2025 and 2026.

Founded in 2020 by guitarist Steve Elias, SELIAS combines melodic death metal with groove and alt metal elements. Their sound is heavy and cinematic, built on aggressive riffs, heavy and melodic vocals, and atmospheric textures.

The band’s lineup includes vocalist Guillaume Pascual, whose blend of guttural growls, soaring clean vocals, and ambient keys adds emotional range; Daniel Bouwman on hard-hitting drums; Jeff Hyde anchoring the sound with melodic, heavy bass lines; and Steve Elias, the band’s architect, with intricate, commanding guitar work. Together, they forge a sound that’s both emotionally resonant and relentlessly heavy.

DECONSTRUCTING SEQUENCE RELEASE "TENEBRIS COSMICIS TEMPORA"

PRESS RELEASE:

Deconstructing Sequence

Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora

Black Lion Records

7 November 2025

West Pomerania, Poland-based black metal vanguards Deconstructing Sequence will release their upcoming second full-length, Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora, via Black Lion Records, set for 7 November 2025 on CD as well as across digital/streaming platforms.

Deconstructing Sequence was formed in 2012 in Taunton, Somerset (UK) by Tiberius. Alongside former Northwail bandmate Morph, the duo sought to explore more progressive and avant-garde territories within extreme music. Soon after, J. Nerexo (from Shadows Land) joined on drums, culminating in a more aggressive and twisted edge to the band’s progressive sound. This lineup produced two EPs and one full-length album.

The debut EP Year One (2013), mixed and mastered by Arkadiusz “Aro” Jablonski at Monroe Sound Studio, laid the foundation for a new era of artistic freedom. The follow-up, Access Code (2014), featured a video created by Costin Chioreanu of Twilight13Media, hinting at an evolving musical vision. In 2017, Deconstructing Sequence’s first full-length album, Cosmic Progression: An Agonizing Journey Through the Oddities of Space, released via Polish label Via Nocturna in 2018, was praised worldwide for its unconventional approach and bold sound.

After relocating to Szczecin, Poland, Tiberius began shaping a new creative direction for what would become the band’s second full-length. With Morph stepping away, drummer Dark Soul joined in 2018, injecting fresh energy into the band. Over the next few years, Deconstructing Sequence meticulously constructed what would become Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora, recorded at Monroe Sound Studio under the supervision of Arkadiusz “Aro” Jablonski between 2022 and 2025, with guest vocal contributions from Mazak and Adrian. In 2023, bassist Immortal joined as a full-time member, followed by Uruk on second guitar in late 2024, finalizing a complete and stage-ready lineup.

Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora blends the furious riffing of Mayhem, the majestic elements of DHG and Emperor, and the haunting depth of Akhlys, forging a journey through idiosyncratic sound and vision. While their previous album lent significant credence to death and post-metal in manifesting their progressive black metal art, this new opus sees the band truly deconstructing their earlier sequence — shapeshifting into a weirder and more unhinged black metal entity.

Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora unfolds as an allegory of humanity’s self-destruction and self-conceit. It follows the last human’s journey from Earth’s destruction to his transformation into a godlike being consumed by his own creation. Guided first by Lucifer and later corrupted by cosmic forces, he witnesses the collapse of faith, power, and meaning. In his quest to control and recreate existence, he becomes the very force of ruin he once fled — until only the void remains, reflecting the eternal flaw of humanity itself.

Looking ahead, the band is already working on new material, rehearsing demo tracks, and continuing their relentless pursuit of twisted, black metal innovation.

Wake up, the void is near!
