HORRIFIC VISIONS RELEASE "REMNANTS OF ATROPHY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

HORRIFIC VISIONS – REMNANTS OF ATROPHY

LABEL: COMATOSE MUSIC

RELEASE DATE: MAY 22nd 2026

Grey skies and black earth, a pallor of sickness hanging over a rotten world. The wasted remains of civilisation, of mankind’s dreams and ambitions, lie mouldering beneath a cold sludge of ash and decay. New forms of warped, suppurating life squirm in entangled, mindless masses; nothing but pustulent worms driven by hunger, aggression and lust. Evolution has stumbled and fallen, never to rise again. The future is the present – this diseased sea of parasitic consumption and death…the repugnant remnants of life’s atrophy.

Twelve years on from their initial spawning in Texas’ ever-fertile breeding grounds of brutality, Horrific Visions are finally set to unleash their full-length debut album of shocking violence and colossal carnage. After two decimating EPs - Enlightenment Through Excruciating Torture (2022) and Monopoly On Violence (2024) - the time has come to stare into the dead eyes of Remnants Of Atrophy!

The album opens with the disorientating, spinning riffs of ‘Malnutrition’, inspiring visions of skin stretched across protruding bone to the point of tearing. Fired by depravation and desperation this track collapses into nerve-grating sounds, before reforming into a shape of pure evil; a huge riff of monstrous heaviness, inhuman vehemence and bone grinding malice. From this point there is no way back. Through the terrifying focus and precision of ‘Deranged Perversion’ to the aptly entitled and utterly barbaric ‘Primal Regression’, on to the reanimated, unhinged and unstoppable ‘Enlightenment Through Excruciating Torture’…God alone knows what clarity of vision awaits anyone subjected to this process of torment and rabid dismemberment…with the final, deftly executed process of extermination being applied by the album’s title track – ‘Remnants Of Atrophy’ – a sonic atrocity invoked by hellish vocals, a rhythm section as tight as a torniquet and guitars conjuring riffs like vengeful djinn. This debut album from Horrific Visions is a gift to the demented and the black of heart – one that has been well worth the wait.

Mixed and mastered by guitarist Mason Vickers at Rocker House Studios, Remnants Of Atrophy possesses a blistering intensity and a raw, serrated edge; it sounds like a deadly weapon, wielded with vicious intent. The final nightmarish touch has been applied by infamous artist John Zig (Aborted Fetus, Deeds Of Flesh, Defeated Sanity etc), enfolding this barrage of brutal death metal in a shroud of bleak, unnerving imagery. Remnants Of Atrophy will be released by Comatose Music on May 22nd…indiscriminate bloodshed and mass destruction await!

SAĦĦAR RELEASE "MIGJA TA MOHH MIGNUN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Maltese black metal entity SAĦĦAR has announced the release of its new full-length album, "Migja ta Mohh Mignun", set to arrive on June 12th, 2026 via Time To Kill Records.

Following the project’s recent signing with the label, the album marks a significant step forward in SAĦĦAR’s artistic evolution, further refining a sound rooted in isolation, heritage and a deeply personal vision. Emerging from a scene far removed from the genre’s traditional strongholds, SAĦĦAR continues to carve out a distinct identity within the contemporary black metal landscape.

"Migja ta Mohh Mignun" expands on the project’s established sonic framework, blending harsh intensity with subtle melodic layers and a pervasive sense of decay. The result is a work that feels both immersive and unsettling, enveloping the listener in a bleak, almost otherworldly atmosphere.

Balancing aggression and introspection, the album pushes deeper into expressive territory while remaining faithful to the raw essence that has defined SAĦĦAR’s output so far, offering a compelling glimpse into the next phase of its evolution.

The first single "Fil-Palazz Sejjahtilhom" is now available:

Mastermind Marton Saliba comments:

"Every sorcerer who displays their power attracts the eyes of unwelcome folk. That’s how the Sorcerer Falzun was eventually summoned from his palace and forced to face the Inquisitor, only for Falzun to fool the Inquisitor and disappear. His heresies were true, his power unfathomable. This is the 4th chapter from the concept album 'Miġja ta’ Moħħ Miġnun' (Journey of a mad mind), a journey is filled with occult rites, supernatural encounters, where in the end, this quest leaves Falzun both cursed and exalted; a figure suspended between madness, immortality, and damnation".

SAĦĦAR began as the brainchild of Marton Saliba, with the aim of creating harsh and extreme music rooted in black metal. From the outset, the project has balanced raw, blast-beat-driven tracks with more mid-tempo material enriched by synths and samples, often blending these elements together. Most of the lyrics are written in Maltese, SAĦĦAR’s native language. The first demo, "Genesis of Demise", followed a year later by the album "Maġija Sewda", gained attention both locally and within the wider underground scene during the MySpace era.

Following the well-received split "Thine Triumphant Death" and a subsequent album that was never officially released, SAĦĦAR entered an indefinite hiatus. The project returned in 2013 with renewed intensity through the EP "Mera Mkissra", showcasing a stronger focus on folklore elements, mid-tempo pacing, and synth-heavy arrangements. From then on, SAĦĦAR maintained a steady output, releasing an average of one EP or album per year until 2020, when the pandemic brought activities to a halt—though writing and studio work continued in preparation for future releases.

The release of the 2015 album "Kruha u Kefrija" also marked SAĦĦAR’s live debut, leading to performances supporting acts such as Destroyer 666, black metal legends Mayhem, and industrial outfit Gothminister. During the pandemic, SAĦĦAR remained active by contributing to online events, including Metal Injection’s "Slayathome" series and the Grimfest online festival.

In early 2020, SAĦĦAR was nominated at the Malta Music Awards in both the “Metal” and “Album in Maltese” categories for "Qilla tal-Qrun", which was well received within the scene. In late 2022, the project embarked on its first tour with a live lineup, spanning nine consecutive days across four countries (Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania), marking an important step forward in its live evolution.

SAĦĦAR’s sound can be described as “ruinous” black metal—combining grand, larger-than-life symphonic elements with minimal, almost doom-like riffs, as well as intense tremolo-driven passages and ambient, synth-based compositions. This wide-ranging approach is reflected in a discography of over 100 songs. Lyrical themes range from occult and folklore-inspired narratives to death, misanthropic catastrophes, and occasional critiques of organized religion.
