WITCHER RELEASE VIDEO FOR "ÖRÖKLET"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

WitcheR’s history started back in 2010. The band was formed by Gere Karola (synths, vocal) and Neubauer Roland (guitars, drums, vocal) in order to perform atmospheric black metal music based on classical music elements and strong synths harmonies. From the very beginning, catchy melodies and elevated mood took important parts in the music. The lyrics are mostly about witchcraft, Hungarian folklore, adherence to old values, and the maximum opposition to the modern world.

New album "Öröklét" was released November 4, 2025 on CD and tape via Filosofem Records (pre-order), on vinyl via Beveria Productions (pre-order) and popular streaming platforms (Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon, Apple, Deezer, Tidal). Cover artwork was done by Grafit & Hamu Artworks.

The third video clip by WitcheR has been released, created for the title track of their fourth full-length album, "Öröklét (Eternity)".

The work is not only a musical piece but also a visual special feature, as the clip was created over the course of an entire year and evokes the ancient rituals of pagan witches.

“We didn’t just want to make a video clip, we wanted to experience the entire year in the spirit of the song.” — WitcheR comments.

The freshly released video further deepens WitcheR’s dark, mystical universe, where music, nature, and ancient traditions form an organic unity. The rituals appearing in the clip are rooted in pagan ceremonies tied to solstices, witch traditions, and the cycles of nature.

The long, year-long creative process made it possible for the video not only to tell a story, but also to convey time and cyclicality, and even to document the changing of the seasons.

“This song and this video are about time. About how everything returns, and nothing passes without leaving a trace.”

SHINE STREAM NEW SONG "KNEEL BEFORE THE SERPENT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Poland's SHINE is now streaming a new track off their forthcoming debut album, Wrathcult. "Kneel Before the Serpent" marks the second taste of the fury to come later this month with the album's impending release.

Stream "Kneel Before the Serpent" now at youtu.be/Z_JCjauzBtU?si=eNOu52l2XdcBOhzb

Wrathcult is due out January 30 on Dark Descent Records.

Pre-order Wrathcult on digital, CD and vinyl formats at:

Dark Descent Records: www.darkdescentrecords.com/shop

Dark Descent Records EU Store: ddmsuo.eu

Dark Descent Records Band Camp: darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

Born from the grips of the pandemic, SHINE are the newest brainchild of Hazael’s Tomasz Dobrzeniecki, and their first album Wrathcult leaves no doubt that a new force in Polish extreme metal has awakened.

Inspired by the likes of Emperor, Bathory, Morbid Angel, Entombed and Dismember, Dobrzeniecki’s new outfit channels that lineage into something raw, relentless, and unmistakably its own.

“‘SHINE’ for me is a sheen of a sword's blade, the last thing that your foes see in their lives. You can also relate it to the Promethean light given to people that enlightens or sometimes blinds us. It can also be a glare of rage stemming from the resistance towards the unnatural rules forced upon us,” explains Dobrzeniecki when asked about his new unit’s name. “Our music is full of references to ancient rules and rituals and times when people lived in accordance with nature and cosmos using the primeval knowledge.”

Dark Descent Records will handle the release, having previously collaborated with Dobrzeniecki on the reissue of Hazael’s classic opus. Wrathcult continues in similar thematic territory, invoking forgotten ancestral knowledge and tapping into primal forces, and mythic echoes of a pre-Christian world.

“Lyrics for the album are mainly inspired by the pre-Christian spirituality and mythology of our forefathers and based on such books as Bestiariusz Słowiański, Mitologia Słowiańska by J. Bobrowski and M. Wrona, and Słowiańska Czarownica (Slavic Bestiary, Slavic Mythology, Slavic Witch). The lyrics pay homage to nature and higher powers in order to upkeep the memories of the beliefs that once shaped our heritage. We live on the borderline of three cultures that blend together in some way – Germanic, Norse and Slavic mythology have quite a lot in common.”

The album was recorded at Heinrich House Studio in Legionowo, Poland - a small city on the outskirts of Warsaw that holds an important place in metal history, being the hometown of Daray (Dimmu Borgir, Vesania), Orion (Behemoth, Vesania) and Heinrich (Vesania, Decapitated). “Me and producer Heinrich (Filip Hałucha) have known each other for about 20 years. If you want to record a metal album that 100% meets your expectations, I think he's the only person that I trust.”

An uncompromising slab of ancient fury awaits! “See you in Valhalla! I’ve heard the parties there are worth dying for,” exclaims Dobrzeniecki. 

Wrathcult Tracklist:

1. Ancient Chaos

2. The Lamb Against the Wolf

3. Kneel Before the Serpent

4. Oddajcie co moje

5. The Cult of Oak

6. The Horror of the Night

ERADICATION RELEASE "ERADICATION" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Eradication: São Paulo-based Death Metal band releases brutal self-titled debut EP with special release show

Formed in the interior of São Paulo in the city of Cerquilho, the death/thrash quartet Eradication released their debut EP on January 16th. "Eradication", released on streaming platforms through the label Verde Produções, emerges with weight and conviction, a work with an overwhelming rhythmic cadence driven by a striking vocal performance and razor-sharp instrumental work.

"Eradication portrays the inevitable collapse of humanity consumed by greed and arrogance. Amidst the shadows that devour the light and cities transformed into ashes, Eradication leads a final march towards the abyss, where collective agony announces the end of all hope for humanity," states the band.

Formed in late 2024 the band consisting of Fernando (vocals), Ygor (guitar), Danilo (bass), and Heric (drums)  brings a blazing maturity and solidity, inspired and influenced by names like Bloodbath, Morbid Angel, Deicide and Behemoth. The band emerges from chaos and violence presenting songs with a dense atmosphere, with striking riffs, dark guttural vocals, and a raw, visceral approach. The lyrics question and challenge faith in humanity, exploring the ruin of a civilization corroded by its own corruption.

The debut EP "Eradication" was recorded at Fraktal Studio in Cerquilho and features recording, mixing, and mastering by Fernando Roma and Hiorito. The material presents six solid tracks that officially introduce a substantially promising and powerful band, which can soon be officially experienced live at a free performance at the Underground Fest festival in Cerquilho on January 24th, along with four other bands.

Tracklist:

1. Intro

2. Eradication

3. Profane Ecstasy

4. Necro-Apocalypse

MONASTERY DEAD RELEASE VIDEO FOR "RAPTOPHILIA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Russian death metal juggernauts Monastery Dead have unleashed their brand-new music video for “Raptophilia”, taken from their 2024 full-length Ego Sum Dolor. The track delivers the band’s signature blend of traditional death metal brutality and modern technical precision, striking a brutal chord for fans of Bloodbath, Misery Index, and Jungle Rot.

Formed in 2004 by bassist Vadim Nikolaev, Monastery Dead have cemented a formidable reputation on the global extreme metal stage with four full-length albums, multiple singles, and videos, touring across Russia and beyond. They’ve shared stages with legends such as Haemorrhage, Dying Fetus, Debauchery, Benighted, Unleashed, and Impaled Nazarene, proving their live power time and again.

The “Raptophilia” video, directed by Alexander Korsak of Black Line Films, matches the track’s unrelenting ferocity with striking visuals exploring human suffering, existential torment, and self-destruction. Recorded at BuzzyLick Studio with Ivan Dmitriev, and mixed and mastered by Dmitry Kim, this latest visual assault reaffirms Monastery Dead as one of Russian death metal’s most dominant forces.

PRESS RELEASE:

Stuttgart, Germany – The wait is over! German Melodic Death Metal juggernaut Helldrifter has officially released their highly anticipated new album Shell of Inexistence via Violent Creek Records , now available worldwide on all digital platforms!

As a final preview before the full release, the band has dropped a lyric video for their latest and last single, “Martyrs Of A Dying Age” – now streaming at: YouTube

Opening the album, “Martyrs Of A Dying Age” catapults listeners into Helldrifter’s dystopian vision of nuclear doom. With an atmospheric intro and pummeling execution, the track sets a dark tone, lyrically painting images of despair and the collapse of civilization.

This comes on the heels of their previous singles, including the crushing “Suicide Strike” , a ferocious composition that channels the chaos of a suicide bomber through guttural grooves and intense riffage reminiscent of Cannibal Corpse’s Evisceration Plague and Morbid Angel’s God of Emptiness .

Additionally, Helldrifter recently unleashed the official video for “Reckoning In Blood” , a brutal visual assault highlighting their signature blend of aggressive precision and apocalyptic themes.

LEVIATHAN A.C. RELEASE "GOD´S FAILURE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Leviathan A.C was spawned from the dark streets of Venezuela in 1999. Rooted in primordial obscurity and guided by blasphemy, the band forged four discographic productions through years of relentless rehearsals, chaos, and underground rituals. One of these releases, “God’s End Is the Path”, was issued by the Colombian label Manitu Records in 2005, while bestial live performances took place across various stages in Venezuela and Colombia.

In 2009, Leviathan A.C signed with the Swedish label Salute Records, releasing its fourth full-length album, which had already been completed in 2006, Through the Unholy Rules We Shall Rise—a work that pushed the band’s vision forward through stronger compositional arrangements while firmly reinforcing its path within the most raw and hostile territories of Black Metal.

Following the relocation of Nebirus (vocals / guitar) to Spain, Leviathan A.C entered a prolonged period of silent incubation. Years of perseverance, devotion, and compositional fermentation led to the rebirth of the project in 2024 with the EP “The Rise of Leviathan”. Recorded at Bohinum Home Studio in collaboration with Rey Vaj, the EP delivers four tracks of impious, oppressive, and blasphemous Black Metal, deliberately reviving the filth and violence of the band’s earliest era while achieving a solid and uncompromising sound.

In the present cycle, Leviathan completed the album “God’s Failure”, scheduled for release on January 23, 2026, through a joint alliance between Vacula Productions (Ukraine), Artes Negras Prods (Uruguay), and Impaled Records (Brazil), later expanding the contamination into Mexico through Nekromanthra Records.

With the new lineup, Leviathan A.C prepares for a new phase of live manifestations. The band’s intent is absolute: to channel devotion and blasphemy into suffocating stage atmospheres, invoking a hostile and ritualistic presence, and delivering Black Metal in its most personal form—unfiltered and charged with contempt.

“God’s Failure” is not an album; it is the sound of the collapse of divinity—a ritual of negation where faith rots and only blasphemy remains: a ceremonial execution of the God of Abraham.

BEYOND THE PALE RE-RELEASE "MONUMENT IN TIME"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

BEYOND THE PALE – MONUMENT IN TIME

LABEL: BLACK METAL ARCHIVES

RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 30th 2026

Forged in the confusion and anxiety of the global pandemic in 2020 and then tempered in the flames of tragedy and the cold ice of loss when their friend and founding member, Jeroen van Donselaar, collapsed on stage in 2022, struck down by a fatal cardiac arrest – Utrecht’s Beyond The Pale emerged from adversity unbowed and unbroken. With a renewed sense of purpose, they recruited former Martyr guitarist Geoffrey Maas and set about honouring the memory of their fallen comrade. The Monument In Time EP was released independently in The Netherlands in 2024, featuring an array of Jeroen’s accomplished guitar riffs, but this release deserved more. Now, with the backing of new British label, Black Metal Archives, Monument In Time – with two bonus tracks that have never been released on any physical format before – will find its way to a global metal audience. This tribute to friendship and the power of metal, this searing attack of thrash and melodic death metal, will carve the name of Beyond The Pale into the annals of extreme music forever.

Monument In Time explodes into life with the precision riffing of ‘Liberation For The Damned’ – a finely honed thrash/death weapon with every element fiercely focussed; from the interlocked twin guitars to the prominent bass lines that subtly weave their way through the axe attack, the powerhouse drumming to the stunning, ferocious vocal presence of Janneke de Rooy (ex-Altar). The essence of Beyond The Pale is summed up in this opening fusillade, but each song that follows possesses an individual character that adds immeasurably to Monument In Time’s vehement and venomous delivery. Be it the atmospheric intro and irresistible refrain of ‘Walk The Plank’, the power, hook-filled and instantly addictive ‘Facts And Figures’ or the viciously intense thrashing fervour of ‘Payback Is A Bitch’, with its touches of melodic lead adding an extra dimension, Beyond The Pale crush with every song, every note, every venomously articulated word of imperious rage.

The two bonus tracks that have been added to the track list of Monument In Time are the original 2021 recording of the band’s first single, ‘Storm en Drift’ – a song that appears in a re-recorded form elsewhere on the EP – and a reimagining of the thundering ‘Facts And Figures’, remixed by Japanese artist Frost (Gods Of Decay, Godfrost). Frost has added gleaming circuitry and bionic enhancements to the monstrous original and ‘Facts And Figures’ is a track with the strength to emerge from this invasive surgery still bristling with malicious intent, but with a new horror-tinged atmosphere infused into its bones.

Engineered and mixed by the team at Mass Audio Studios in Utrecht and mastered by the renowned Tony Lindgren (Amorphis, Arch Enemy, Insomnium, Kreator etc) at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, the sound that has been captured on Monument In Time is exceptional – with clarity, a cutting edge and formidable force all accorded equal importance. A fitting tribute to the much-missed Jeroen van Donselaar and a titanic barrage of expertly blended thrash and melodic death metal, Monument In Time is about to receive the release it deserves through Black Metal Archives on January 30th.

Line-up:

Janneke de Rooy - Vocals

Johnny Derechos - Drums

Frank van Boven - Bass

Boudewijn de Kraaij - Guitars

ORCHID THRONE RELEASE "BURIED IN BLACK"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

One-man Melodic Doom Metal outfit, Orchid Throne,have released debut full-length album, Buried in Black.

Stream/Purchase:

orchidthrone.bandcamp.com/album/buried-in-black

open.spotify.com/album/4v1DrmEm39lSKCmv0kejTS

music.apple.com/us/album/buried-in-black/1863303696

Orchid Throne consists solely of Nicholas Bonsanto (Lör, Empress, Helianthus, Barren) who performs the music, as well as producing, mixing and mastering the album.

After nearly 17 years of playing supporting roles in various bands, Nicholas Bonsanto (Lör, Empress, Helianthus, Barren) is proud to make his debut as a solo artist as the man behind Orchid Throne. Bonsanto not only wrote and performed all of the music for Buried in Black, but also produced, mixed, and mastered the album.

While not a concept album, Buried in Black weaves themes of anxiety, depression, fear of death, and the search for life’s meaning throughout its lyrics. The title describes both the music itself and the feelings that Bonsanto has kept buried within for years. It may sound bleak, but what is buried in black will be set free and brought to light on January 9.

“This album is a long time coming for me,” said Bonsanto. “For more than a decade, I collected little recordings of ideas in the hope that one day they’d be useful. I could not be more proud of myself for how the album came out and for all of the things I have learned along the way.”

Bonsanto's Musical Journey to Buried in Black:

“As a musician performing in bands since I was 16, people who know me have seen me play a supportive role, and hear my musical contributions to my bands. But not everyone knows that I have always dreamed of releasing a record of my own. I am passionate about all kinds of music, and while I love playing in my current bands, doom metal is a big love that I long felt like I had no outlet for. 

“While I’ve honed my songwriting abilities over the years, I began this project with zero knowledge of how to produce a record on my own. I introduced Orchid Throne to the world one year ago on my birthday with only one song done. Over the past year, I have finished writing, recording, and producing my entire debut record. I have finally achieved this goal and it's even better than I ever imagined it could be. It means so much to me to get this out there, to truly reflect who I am as an artist, and I’m already excited to create more.”

EXHUMED RELEASE "RED ASPHALT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

EXHUMED: New Album, Red Asphalt, To Drop February 20th On Relapse Records; “Unsafe At Any Speed” Video/Single Now Playing, Preorders Available + Live Dates Announced! 

EXHUMED will hit the blood-soaked road with their new album, Red Asphalt, set for release on February 20th via Relapse Records.  

The masters of gore metal rev up and prepare for one of 2026's most frenetic, unhinged slabs of sonic obliteration with a new video for lead single, “Unsafe At Any Speed.”

"We're very stoked to be back in your earholes with Red Asphalt. Our recent albums have taken you with us through the graveyards and operating theaters of 19th century Scotland, the horror aisles of the video rental stores of our youths, and through the band's history itself,” notes EXHUMED mastermind Matt Harvey. "This time around, we're inviting you to accompany us to a place that we spend a disproportionate amount of our lives, someplace familiar yet far more dangerous than it feels, a place that can take you to the hospital or the grave in more ways than you can imagine: the American roadway."

Watch EXHUMED’s “Unsafe At Any Speed” video HERE. Stream/presave the track HERE.  

Preorder Red Asphalt on LP/CD/CS/streaming via Relapse.com HERE.

The latest wrong turn from the driving force of gore metal, EXHUMED, Red Asphalt crashes the band's hook-laden, high-speed deathgrind into whiplash-inducing grooves and dangerous musical curves. Red Asphalt is a love letter to the road – horrific accidents, vehicular homicide, defective cars, gore-filled instructional videos, zombified biker gangs, and more.

True to the band's spirit, Red Asphalt drags the listener through a whirlwind of riffy madness. Tracks like the aptly titled "Unsafe At Any Speed," the horrifying "Shovelhead," and "The Iron Graveyard" ooze with sleaze and groove while retaining all of the high-octane, full-throttle, white-knuckle madness you've come to demand from EXHUMED. Take the album for a spin and get your kicks on Route 666!

Red Asphalt Track Listing:

1. Unsafe At Any Speed

2. Red Asphalt

3. Shock Trauma

4. Shovelhead

5. The Iron Graveyard

6. Crawling From the Wreckage

7. Signal Thirty

8. Death On Four Wheels

9. Symphorophilia

10 The Fumes

EXHUMED will take Red Asphalt on the road throughout 2026 starting with the US from February 19th through March 21st with Oxygen Destroyer and No/Más! Following a quick pit stop, EXHUMED returns to Europe/UK this Spring with labelmates Gruesome from April 4th through May 2nd. Tickets are on sale now.

KRUSHOR RELEASE NEW EP "TASTE OF HATRED"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish thrashers Krushor released their debut EP 'Taste of Hatred' on January 9th 2026 via Inverse Records. 

LISTEN to the EP on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/krushor-ep 

The band comments:

"The themes of the songs on EP are not the easiest to grasp, but they are extremely important! I have always wanted to write about my own experiences and the things happening around me, especially the negative things and mental struggles. It's kind of therapeutic to get the words down on paper first and then shout these themes out as loud as I can, maybe that's my way of dealing with difficult things. 

The process itself was very exciting. We did the recordings ourselves for the first time and got the necessary equipment for it. It wasn't the easiest way to do it, but we're happy with the result. There is always room for improvement, and that drives us forward. We want to learn new things and get better at these things too. Most of the actual recording was done by our guitarist Joni, and we owe him a big thank you for his time, effort, and perseverance in the name of "creativity." 

Next, we will focus on gigging, as long as we are blessed with gigs, and on writing new songs. Our goal is to make a whole album, which we also intend to record ourselves. The schedule is not rushed, so don't hold your breath just yet. Making the EP was a great process, we got what we wanted out of it and learned a lot through the process!"

BIOGRAPHY:

The band found its current identity through shared musical tastes, playing together, and a shared hobby. We are a group of people who enjoy making and playing music that works for all of us. A big part of this is that composing, writing lyrics, and editing songs is open to everyone. All songs and compositions are created by the whole group, not based on one person's vision or goal. 

Our influences definitely come from older metal, but that doesn't matter, because mixing genres actually adds a lot to our music; there's no one right way to do things. Krushor's goal is to make music that sounds good and at the same time talk about the difficult things that are part of life. For many people, music can be therapeutic, and if even one person feels that way about our music, we feel we have succeeded.

- Digipack CD 13€ Presale now at Bandcamp -

https://devilsharvest.bandcamp.com/album/est-iv-xx

"Doom, Sludge, Drone, Crust & Blackened Punk,

Crushing Fuzz Riffs, Repetitive Grooves & Raw Aggression.

Oppressive Atmosphere & Uncompromising Intensity.

DevilsHarvest unleashes a brutal, suffocating soundscape

built on slow-moving doom, crust-infested aggression, and hypnotic drone layers.

Repetitive riffs, bone-crushing bass, and relentless drums create an oppressive,

end-time atmosphere where heaviness and tension rule.

This doesn’t aim to comfort - it drags you straight into the abyss and keeps you there."

COLLATERAL DETRIMENT RELEASE "INTO THE DETRIMENT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Collateral Detriment Announces the Release of Their New Studio Album "Into the Detriment"

The Venezuelan Cyber Death Metal band Collateral Detriment—featuring Alex Detriment (guitar and vocals), Jhon Detriment (guitar and vocals), Pelusso (bass and backing vocals), A\B (keyboards), and Fraino (drums)—is thrilled to announce the release of their highly anticipated full-length album, "Into the Detriment," available on all digital platforms this May 16, 2025.

"Into the Detriment" promises a sonic immersion into a dystopian future dominated by technology and its consequences. Each track weaves intense and reflective stories, fusing the brutality of Death Metal with the cold, oppressive atmosphere of Industrial Metal and the complexity of Progressive Metal—all under the distinctive Collateral Detriment seal.

This new record marks a milestone in the band's career, featuring a total of 9 powerful tracks. The album includes fresh compositions that explore uncharted sonic territories, as well as reinterpretations of fan favorites delivered with renewed power. "Into the Detriment" is a deep dive into the evolution of Collateral Detriment’s Cyber Death Metal sound.

Fans will find lyrics that delve into themes such as computer-driven control, brainwashing, genetic manipulation for genocidal purposes, and the omnipresent threat of rogue artificial intelligence, expanding on ideas teased in their previous works.

The album was recorded in Valencia, Venezuela, at the band's own studios, and was subsequently mixed and mastered by Ruben Moyano at Cromosoma Estudio in Montevideo, Uruguay, ensuring high-quality production for this new release.

About Collateral Detriment

Founded in 2015 in Valencia, Venezuela, Collateral Detriment has cultivated a unique sound that has resonated with critics and metal fans worldwide. With the release of "Into the Detriment," the band continues to expand its sonic universe, solidifying its position as an innovative force in the contemporary metal scene.
