BAALZAGOTH RELEASE SECOND SINGLE FROM "NO GOD, NO SAVIOR"

 


PRESS RELEASE:

BAALZAGOTH, a band from Kostrzyn nad Odrą (Poland), makes it clear from the very first notes: there is no room for compromise, salvation, or mercy. Embracing the aesthetics of blackened death metal, the band delivers music that is brutal, direct, and consciously aimed at religious dogma. Their sound is a sonic assault - heavy, dense, and permeated with a darkness that not only accompanies but overwhelms.

Baalzagoth draws from the hellish legacy of the death metal scene—you can hear echoes of the merciless power of Morbid Angel, the suffocating chaos of Incantation, the ritualistic severity of Immolation, and the extreme intensity of Hate Eternal. However, this is neither a copy nor a nostalgic homage - the band takes what is heaviest, most sinister, and most primal in death metal, then ramps up the brutality to the breaking point.

Since its inception, Baalzagoth has consistently forged its own identity: anti-religious, dark, and ruthless. Their compositions are tightly constructed and precisely executed - massive riffs, a crushing rhythm section, and a tempo that leaves no room for breath. This is music that attacks head-on, without embellishment, without flirting with lightness - pure, primal power.

The culmination of this journey is the album "No God, No Savior" - the band's most polished, ruthless, and mature release. It's intense and conceptually coherent material, consciously evolving their existing sound toward even greater extremes and expressiveness.

All music was written and arranged by the band, except “Auto da fé” which was composed, performed and recorded by Michał “Joda” Sobczyński. Ika Klimaszewska (soprano vocals & vocal samples) appears as a guest on the tracks: “Satan”, “Excommunicatus ab humanitate”, “Auto da fé” and “Gloria Apostasiae”. Drums were recorded at Sound of Records Studio by Mikołaj Kiciak (Blindead 23, Leash Eye), guitars at Tetra Wave Studio by Krzysztof Kostencki (Morrath, Sothoris), and the material was subsequently recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered at Heinrich House Studio by Filip Hałucha (Azarath, Behemoth, Hate). The album cover artwork was conceived by Oktavius, with artwork and layout created by Ksenia Kot, based on a photograph by Maciej Pieloch. Band photography was done by Maciej Pieloch (Batushka, Hate).

The band comments on the upcoming release: "No God, No Savior is not just an album—it's a manifesto of extremes. A sonic declaration of the rejection of the idea of salvation, an affirmation of chaos, and the triumph of darkness over the illusion of meaning. Baalzagoth doesn't attempt to reinvent death metal. We remind you what this genre truly is: aggression, negation, and the unbridled violence of sound. No compromise. No god. No salvation."


New studio album "No God, No Savior" will be released on June 6, 2026 in digital format and on CD via the Polish underground label Putrid Cult (pre-order).

Baalzagoth follows up their well-received title track announcing the album “No God, No Savior” with a second strike. The new single, “Excommunicatus Ab Humanitate,” showcases a heavier and more monumental side of the band, enriched by the guest appearance of soprano vocalist Ika Klimaszewska.

AKANTOPHIS RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR "RENEWAL"

 


PRESS RELEASE:

AKANTOPHIS channels transformation, nature, and inner change in the new visual release, “Renewal”


Wormholedeath is pleased to announce the release of the official lyric video for "Renewal," an impressive atmospheric black metal offering from German band Akantophis' latest album, Erneuerung.

Akantophis frames “Renewal” around the concept of transformation, both personal and universal. It underlines the idea that change begins within each individual, beyond any belief system. At its core, the track also reflects the band’s respect for nature, recognizing humanity as one part of a greater whole.

Founded in a small town in the Harz Mountains in 1998, Akantophis established a stable line-up by mid-2000 and made an early mark in the underground scene with their debut album Galaria: Terra@ Exitus (2001), followed by the live-plus-new-material release Live im Klima. The band went on hiatus in 2004, with members active in other projects including Hidden in the Fog, Throat Cut, and Psykra. They reunited in April 2017 with a revised line-up and released the 7-inch vinyl Wiederkehr in 2018. The MCD EXITUS XX (2020) concluded the band's earlier chapter and set the stage for Erneuerung, their most recent full-length.


The Lineup:

Andi : vocals

Sebastian: guitar

Lars: bass guitar

Micha: drums
