SAPROBIONTIC RELEASE "OF FIRE AND BLOODSHED"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Saprobiontic

Of Fire and Bloodshed

Black Lion Records

23 October 2026

Black Lion Records presents German death metal brutes Saprobiontic’s third full-length, Of Fire and Bloodshed, scheduled for October 23 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.

Formed in 2012, Dresden-based Saprobiontic has undergone several lineup changes throughout the years, with founder Chris remaining the band’s only continuous member. With two critically acclaimed full-lengths under their belt, the German brutal death metallers have appeared at numerous festivals while sharing stages with the likes of Massacre (US), Cryptopsy, Jungle Rot, and Disgorge (US).

Recordings for the new album, Of Fire and Bloodshed, began in April 2025 at Deep Deep Pressure Studios in Austria, with Flo Musil (Agrypnie, Theotoxin) handling the drums and Lukas Haidinger (Profanity, Distaste) serving as sound engineer and producer.

Built on crushing riffs, relentless aggression, and a dark, uncompromising atmosphere, Of Fire and Bloodshed delivers a fierce blend of old-school death metal brutality and modern intensity. Expect ultra-tight drumming packed with furious blast beats, a menacing guitar tone, rumbling bass, plenty of groove, and guttural vocals throughout. The album combines furious, accentuated riffs with body-mutilating shifts, drawing influence from the likes of Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse.

Following the recordings, and with forthcoming shows in mind, the Saprobiontic completed their lineup by recruiting Loppi (Pikodeath) as their new lead vocalist later that year. Loppi also appears as a guest vocalist on the track “Shepherd of Doom.”

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish death-grind duo GOATBURNER have unleashed a brand new music video for "Leaf Blower", taken from their recently released EP "Time of Danger", which arrived on October 9th, 2026, via Time To Kill Records.

Combining crushing death metal riffs, abrasive grindcore intensity and filthy sludge-driven grooves, "Leaf Blower" captures the band's raw and uncompromising approach to extreme music.

"Time of Danger" brings together material from the band's early releases, combining the 2022 "Danger" EP and their self-released 2018 debut "Time to Burn". Newly mastered in 2026 by Keijo "Kaos" Niinimaa, the six-track EP gives these recordings a renewed presence, introducing them to a wider audience while preserving the raw energy and underground spirit of the original versions.

Formed in 2017 by Jaakko "Spider" Forsman and Keijo "Kaos" Niinimaa (ROTTEN SOUND), GOATBURNER have established themselves as a formidable two-piece force, delivering a massive wall of sound built on primitive grooves, relentless aggression and crushing heaviness.

The release also features cover artwork painted by Forsman himself, reflecting the themes of uncertainty, danger and death that run throughout the record.

Tracklist:

1. Lights Out

2. Leaf Blower

3. Brutal Awakening

4. Melting Misery

5. Suffocating

6. Scorched
