WORM RELEASE "NECROPALACE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Worm has incessantly built upon their sonic palette of ‘Necromantic Black Doom’, with roots in nearly every worthy corner of extreme metal’s history - from the grandiose heights of ‘90s symphonic black metal to the emotional technicality of ‘80s shred metal. Today Worm emerge with their next studio album and first release with Century Media Records, Necropalace.

The Floridian band have only grown more powerful, showcasing a level of grandiose songcraft that is beyond modern compare. On Necropalace, Worm has managed to do what many others in this day and age can only attempt: They walk backwards into the future.

Alongside the release of Necropalace, Worm have revealed part three of the album’s official music video series and opulent closer, “Witchmoon - The Infernal Masquerade (Feat. Marty Friedman)” which was created by Worm’s Phantom Slaughter via his production company, Nightfang Productions.

SHADOWSPAWN RELEASE TITLE TRACK FROM NEW ALBUM: "CADAVER DOGS"

PRESS RELEASE:

Shadowspawn hails from the greater Copenhagen area in Denmark and has existed since 2013. They released several critically acclaimed records ("Ashes of Sorrow" (EP, 2015), "Hope Lies Dormant" (2017), "The Biology of Disbelief" (2021), "Blasphemica" (2023)) and established themselves as a powerful force on the Danish metal scene. They are known for their uncompromising blend of groove, black, and old-school death metal, Shadowspawn masterfully balances brutality, heaviness, and technicality!

After 3 years, now Danish band is preparing for releasing 4th studio album!

With "Cadaver Dogs", Shadowspawn unleash a landmark album that both expands the band’s musical horizons and cements their ability to craft a cohesive sound where groove and darkness go hand in hand with crushing intensity.

Bue Jensen comments: "We’re back with a truly killer, thoroughly crafted record, and we’re proud and excited to present it to our fans! We’ve created a narrative about

the insane world we see around us, where power-hungry dictators and religion set an agenda built on fear, murder, and oppression. In other words, human carrion feeders who exploit everything they possibly can!".

The material for the new album was recorded at Corpsekennel Spawncamp. All was mixed & mastered by Kelvin Dam. Cover artwork was designed by Swedish artist Henry Pyykkö, and the layout was created by Jess Larsen. Album will be released on February 20, 2026 in digital format and CD by Polish label Via Nocturna (pre-order).

In April this year, Shadowspawn will go on tour across Denmark together with Defacing God (symphonic black/gothic) and Maceration (death). More info at Metalized Tour Fanpage.

Band already released video to the second single from upcoming album.
