The album was recorded at Come And Track It Studios in Austin, Texas, by John Petri and Justin McClenny, and mixed by none other than Jarrett Pritchard in Florida. In addition to Jay singing and Tony Goyang Jr. playing guitar and serving as primary songwriter, longtime guitarist Dustin Putz and Tony Goyang Jr. offered guitars and solos, Jake Holmes provided bass, and the band enlisted the services of MALEVOLENT CREATION's powerhouse drummer Ronnie Parmer (PERDITION TEMPLE, BRUTALITY, AMON, KERASPHORUS) to hold it all down.

Since the album’s recording, longtime and co-founding member Tony Goyang Jr. amicably parted ways with the band who are currently operating as a three piece. Jay and Dustin are now joined by drummer JP Campo (VX, EXTREMELY ROTTEN, SADISTIC FORCE).

BIO:

TRENCH WARFARE emerged from the barren wasteland of West Texas. The bassist who later performed on TRENCH WARFARE’s demo, Kelly Bogues, invited Jay Gorania to a jam at Tony Goyang Jr.’s place for what was a project that crumbled before it started. A member of that ill-fated band later shot a part of someone's hand off in an act of self-defense, but that's neither here nor there. Bizarre anecdotes aside, upon finding out at that first meeting that Tony was also into bands like BLASPHEMY and BEHERIT, artists essentially unheard of in the region, Jay asked him if he wanted to start a band in the vein. TRENCH WARFARE was born.

Following their well-received 2015 demo Perversion Warfare and a few songs on the subsequent multi-band split/comp Of Vultures and Vermin / House of the Unholy, released the very next year by Surrealistic Fatality Releases, the band released it's raging debut long-player Hatred Prayer via India's Transcending Obscurity Records.

Nuclear War Now! Productions then re-released the band’s acclaimed demo on cassette format in 2023, and the unholy union continues as the band has played the label's curated shows, festival and they performed at the Helios Press (vinyl plant) fundraiser.

Now, the savage death/black metal band that proudly boasts its war metal roots is set to finally end the long wait for its sophomore album. Achtung! Destroy The Weak will be unleashed on cassette and CD on August 10 via its new label, Conjuring Records.

TRENCH WARFARE has performed throughout the lone star state, including a recent gig in Austin with Texas satanic death metal legends IMPRECATION, and at fests in Chicago, Denver and New Jersey, keeping their eyes on the road to support Achtung! Destroy The Weak in 2026 and 2027.

ENTERRÉ VIVANT RELEASE "KUROGOKU"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

ENTERRÉ VIVANT – 黒獄 KUROGOKU

LABEL: TRANSCENDANCE

RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 2nd 2026

Formed in 2019, Enterré Vivant is an atmospheric black metal entity like no other; a creative force where two disparate cultures meet and entwine, becoming something unique and remarkable. Rooted in the dynamic, enigmatic and irrepressible French black metal scene, yet steeped in the spiritual essence of Japan, infused with its history and philosophy, its topography and changing seasons, Enterré Vivant’s music marries violence and serenity in a transportative, hypnotic elixir. Their enthralling, atmospheric black metal knows no boundaries and is beholden to no laws. Their debut EP, Shiki, emerged in 2021, an invocation of the four seasons and was followed in 2023 by the full-length album Shigenso 四元素 and the intriguing and inventive Les Bonbons EP, before a second full-length album, Akuzaï 悪罪 was released in the spring of 2025. Now, with a new alliance with Transcendance in place, multi-instrumentalist Erroiak and vocalist/lyricist Sakrifiss are ready to unveil the third Enterré Vivant album, welcoming us into the dark hells of 黒獄 Kurogoku...

Each song that forms part of 黒獄 Kurogoku is dedicated to one of the six realms of reincarnation from Buddhist teaching, where all beings wander in an endless cycle of death and rebirth, their path dictated by their own actions and impulses. Yet rather than just a simple presentation of these evocative realms beyond death, 黒獄 Kurogoku also explores the thoughts and emotions that bind the individual soul to its particular eternal journey. Each song is both a grand envisaging of a realm and an intimate portrait of a state of mind.

The album begins in Gakidō 餓鬼道 (Realm of hungry ghosts), the guitars like shattered ice, the drums an elemental thunder and the vocals howling from the tattered, fraying edges of sanity. The immediate impact is glorious, exhilarating, but as it progresses the breadth and depth of Gakidō’s true power becomes ever more apparent. Layers upon layers are revealed, different instruments drifting like ghosts through the storm, the beautiful, ethereal vocals of Uguisu slipping between the shadows…there is a sense of illusion, of unreality, of notes that may or may not have truly been heard…and when it returns to the fore that initial ferocity remains breathtaking. Upon its arrival Ningendō 人間道 (Human realm) transforms the landscape with its measured, haunted pace, all the complexities of our world and its multitudinous characters expressed through the varied vocals. Immensely listenable yet constantly mysterious, here we begin to understand that the music of Enterré Vivant transcends its creators and the instruments used in its expression, seeming to take on an independent existence and it’s an incredible thing to witness. This is music to open yourself to, to relinquish control of the listening experience and let the songs themselves guide you through the realms they so vividly reflect. From the tension between joy and the knowledge of impermanence that shapes Tendō 天道 (Heavenly realm) to the simpler, raging majesty of Chikushōdō 畜生道 (Animal realm), the transcendent vocals amongst the flames and pain of Jigokudō 地獄道 (Hell realm) to the constant confounding of expectations that is Shuradō 修羅道 (Realm of the Asuras), there is so much to experience. For music and concept to be so intrinsically enmeshed is a rare and precious thing indeed.

Mixed and mastered by Déha at the Opus Magnum Studio (Angellore, Cult Of Erinyes, Nachtlieder etc) 黒獄 Kurogoku possesses the perfect sound for its vivacious, unfettered nature, allowing the sonic shades and shadows to dance in perfect synchronicity. For the cover artwork, different for both the CD and vinyl formats, Enterré Vivant sourced authentic photographs from the Meiji era - a time when Japan was caught between tradition and modernity – an echo of the impermanent states and continual transformation found within the album’s concept and music. Transcendance will release 黒獄 Kurogoku on October 2nd, on Double LP, CD and digital formats, with the vinyl including a bonus track, Ningendō (Version Vivant Enterré) where Erroiak and Sakrifiss exchange vocal roles. There is no easy list of bands to whom Enterré Vivant can be compared. Rather than musical peers they have kindred spirits – those who also stand alone. Follow the path less travelled and discover music of weight and worth beyond the average experience.
