I HELVETE RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "PÄÄTÖSMATKA"

PRESS RELEASE:

i Helvete’s third album is getting closer while the release date is set to 6th of November 2026. The band has released the third and last single from the upcoming album "Halla". Combining melodic black and death metal, i Helvete’s new song "Päätösmatka" includes various instruments like violin, piano and vibraphone but also a massive choir in the choruses.

The album’s first single Nälkätalvi was selected as one of Metal Hammer’s Tracks of the Week alongside 11 other songs.

"Halla is a theme album about old times when surviving against nature was a daily life struggle. Halla is a Finnish word and lazily translated means "frost". It is a phenomenon, but in Finnish mythology it is also a fairytale character that destroys the fields with its coldness. All the single and album covers draw inspiration from the works of the Finnish painter Hugo Simberg (1873-1917), whose art also inspired us in our songwriting and composition process.” The band comments.

Finnish melodic black/death metal band i Helvete will release their third album, "Halla", on November 6th, 2026. The self-released album will be available digitally.

"Halla" brings together the atmospheric side of i Helvete with the intensity that has remained central to the band's black metal roots. Across six tracks, the album makes use of a broader range of instruments, with session musicians also contributing to the recordings.

The material itself was completed in 2024, but line-up changes during that year delayed the production process. The finished record now arrives as the band's third full-length.

The album was recorded by i Helvete and mixed and mastered by Jari Prinkkilä.

OMNIKOLOSS RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "OMNISYNDROM ALPHA 17"

PRESS RELEASE:

With black metal at its core, OMNIKOLOSS delves further into electronic music, analogue synthesis, ambient and industrial sounds in the third studio album Quantum Fleshdrive. Across the track list, acoustic drums and guitars collide with programmed beats, field recordings and layers of synthesizers including the Moog Sub 37, Korg MS-20, Polysix, Minimoog and Juno-60. Quantum Fleshdrive will arrive on December 4, 2026, via Unholy Conspiracy Deathwork. The first single, "Omnisyndrom Alpha 17," is available now.

The narrative of "Omnisyndrom Alpha 17" questions the existence and autonomy of two nameless humans. One is trapped in a life reduced to maintenance: work, consume, recover, return, while the second appears to live beyond this system with apparent freedom.

"Human one is imprisoned by material reality; Human two is imprisoned by perception." OMNIKOLOSS explain. "The overworld could be a protected class, a simulation, a religious illusion, a digital heaven or even the final dream produced by an exhausted brain before collapse. The world below may be hell, but the world above may only be a beautifully rendered interface hiding the same machine. One person knows they are trapped. The other has forgotten what a trap looks like."

"Omnisyndrom Alpha 17" erupts with intensity combining furious blast beats with an immersive atmosphere and an electronic march. The band's dedication to worldbuilding is shown through field recordings made around small lakes and moors including frogs and the surrounding night sounds. The electronic march is built around a sample from Tetsuo: The Iron Man.

The world behind the album takes its influence from body horror, cyberpunk and dark science fiction such as Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Akira and Blade Runner. Flesh and technology are no longer opposites. Machines move into the body, voices enter the mind, reality becomes unstable and the distinction between human and artificial slowly disappears.

Quantum Fleshdrive was produced and mixed by David Feistel at Cave Sustain, and mastered by Markus Stock at Klangschmiede Studio E. Cover artwork by Karmazid, with additional layout by Johnny Doe.

Quantum Fleshdrive will be released on 12-inch vinyl: 150 x Hypnotoad Green; 100 x Fleshdrive Red. The limited edition consists of 20 special sets with Fleshdrive Red vinyl, an exclusive DIY cassette and an OMNIKOLOSS pin.

About OMNIKOLOSS:

With black metal as their foundation, the band began in 2020 with an intense writing session between Tobias Norbinski (DER ROTE MILAN) and David Feistel (STELLAR MASTER ELITE). SURVIOLENCE (CAPTAIN CAVEMEN) joined shortly after, and these initial compositions laid the groundwork for what would become OMNIKOLOSS. The addition of vocalist Khonan completed the line up and the band's focus on creating an extreme sound that is unafraid to venture further into experimental and atmospheric realms.

Electronic music, ambient, synthwave, industrial, analogue synthesis and soundtrack influences became a key component for OMNIKOLOSS. Atmosphere and thematic concepts behind the music are just as important as traditional song structures in their writing.

OMNIKOLOSS released Wandering Through Concrete Valleys through Unholy Conspiracy Deathwork in 2023, selling out its vinyl edition. コンクリートの谷を彷徨って II released as one 26:53 composition in 2025, also via Unholy Conspiracy Deathwork, alongside a handcrafted VHS box which sold out shortly after its launch. Now in 2026, OMNIKOLOSS prepare to unveil their third sonic offering.

Quantum Fleshdrive goes somewhere else.

Technology is no longer just part of the environment.

It has entered the body.

The music itself was created through the same process OMNIKOLOSS has followed from the beginning. Recordings sit next to spontaneous performances, deliberately written passages, electronic manipulation and acoustic material. Where something was recorded matters much less than what happens when these elements are put together.

Quantum Fleshdrive is not an attempt to make Black Metal sound futuristic.

It comes from a place where the distinction no longer matters.

OMNIKOLOSS Is:

Surviolence - Drums / electronic beats / additional vocals

David Feistel - Bass, synthesizers, additional guitars, sampling, production

Khonan - Vocals

Tobias Norbinski - Guitars
