AVARICE RELEASE "PERPETUAL RUIN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Danish metal act AVARICE return with their second full-length album “Perpetual Ruin”, released via Mighty Music. The album delivers ten crushing tracks exploring humanity’s endless cycle of rise, failure, and collapse. 

Blending classic death and thrash metal with elements of hardcore and melodic death metal, Avarice present a sound that is both brutal and dynamic. Razor-sharp riffs, crushing rhythms, and relentless intensity drive the record forward, while the lyrics draw on themes of antiquity, morality, punishment, and the darker impulses of human nature.

“Perpetual Ruin” will be released on LP, CD and digital formats on 19.06.2026, via Mighty Music. Pre-orders are available here. The first single of the album, "Underling", hits all the streaming services next week and can be pre-saved via this link.

After a 13-year hiatus, they returned in 2021 with the EP “Reborn In Blood”, reigniting the band with renewed focus and a heavier direction. 

With “Perpetual Ruin”, Avarice push their sound further than ever. A record that fully comes to life on stage, where the band’s raw, aggressive energy proves impossible to ignore.

VANIR RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO: "BOUDICA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

With “Boudica”, their new single, Danish melodic death metal unit VANIR deliver another fierce chapter from their upcoming album “Wyrd”. The song, out today, tells the story of the legendary warrior queen who led her people against the Roman Empire - a figure of defiance, vengeance, and unbreakable will.

More than just a tale from history, “Boudica” is a battle hymn of resistance and empowerment. As the queen fought for her people’s freedom and her rightful place as their leader, the song resonates as an anthem of women’s strength and the fight against oppression across the ages.

Merging blistering melodic death metal with epic storytelling, Vanir breathe new life into the legacy of a woman who refused to bow, and whose name still echoes as a symbol of power and rebellion.

"Boudica" is available now on all streaming services and has also been released in a lyric video, which can be seen below or in one of our official media partners for its release, which premiered the video earlier today:

VANIR "Boudica" lyric video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY4bQcZsuiA

Swords, helmets and shields can be heard in the distance once more, as Danish warriors Vanir return with their new album, “Wyrd”. The record revolves around the timeless theme of fate - spun from war, from the choices of humankind, and from the consequences that have shaped our world. As a mirror of our own time, where decisions carry the weight of future destinies, “Wyrd” invites the listener into stories of downfall and triumph, of lives lost and victories won.

The visual core of the album is brought to life by artist David Troest, whose dramatic cover depicts the Winged Hussar, one of history’s most fearsome war machines. The scene is the legendary Battle of Vienna in 1683, where the Polish cavalry forced the Ottoman Empire to retreat, halting its expansion into Europe. This clash of civilizations forms the backdrop for the song “Never Surrender”, told through the eyes of those who defended Vienna from invasion.

But “Wyrd” is more than just a historical album. It is a musical journey into humanity’s struggle with power, destiny, and the eternal conflicts over survival and dominion. Vanir combine melodic death metal with epic storytelling, reminding us of that history always repeats itself, and that the choices we make today hold the seeds of tomorrow’s battles.

The album has been mixed and mastered at Demigod Recordings, ensuring a powerful and razor-sharp sound that does justice to the weight of its themes.

As one of Denmark’s most prominent melodic death metal bands, Vanir has forged its own take on epic for over a decade now, with history-themed melodic death metal, merging crushing riffs with tales of fate, battle, and myth. With “Wyrd”, the collective once again sharpen their steel and march onto the battlefields of history.

“Wyrd” will be released on LP, CD and digital formats on 03.04.2026, via Mighty Music.

SHADOWSPAWN RELEASE TITLE TRACK FROM NEW ALBUM: "CADAVER DOGS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Shadowspawn hails from the greater Copenhagen area in Denmark and has existed since 2013. They released several critically acclaimed records ("Ashes of Sorrow" (EP, 2015), "Hope Lies Dormant" (2017), "The Biology of Disbelief" (2021), "Blasphemica" (2023))  and established themselves as a powerful force on the Danish metal scene. They are known for their uncompromising blend of groove, black, and old-school death metal, Shadowspawn masterfully balances brutality, heaviness, and technicality!

After 3 years, now Danish band is preparing for releasing 4th studio album!

With "Cadaver Dogs", Shadowspawn unleash a landmark album that both expands the band’s musical horizons and cements their ability to craft a cohesive sound where groove and darkness go hand in hand with crushing intensity.

Bue Jensen comments: "We’re back with a truly killer, thoroughly crafted record, and we’re proud and excited to present it to our fans! We’ve created a narrative about

the insane world we see around us, where power-hungry dictators and religion set an agenda built on fear, murder, and oppression. In other words, human carrion feeders who exploit everything they possibly can!".

The material for the new album was recorded at Corpsekennel Spawncamp. All was mixed & mastered by Kelvin Dam. Cover artwork was designed by Swedish artist Henry Pyykkö, and the layout was created by Jess Larsen. Album will be released on February 20, 2026 in digital format and CD by Polish label Via Nocturna (pre-order).

In April this year, Shadowspawn will go on tour across Denmark together with Defacing God (symphonic black/gothic) and Maceration (death). More info at Metalized Tour Fanpage.

WITHERING SURFACE RE-RELEASE "UNIQUE" DEMO

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Danish melodic death metal pioneers WITHERING SURFACE re-release their long-lost debut promo “Unique” today digitally, via Mighty Music. Originally recorded in 1995, the four-track demo is now available on all streaming services for the first time ever, nearly 30 years after its original underground release.

Originally self-released as a cassette promo, "Unique" marked the birth of Denmark’s first melodic death metal band, capturing a raw and formative moment inspired by early At The Gates, In Flames, Amorphis and Eucharist, at a time when the genre was virtually unknown in the Danish metal scene.

Recorded in just three days at Take-One Studio with producer Kasper Munkebo (Dominus), "Unique" was originally distributed through tape trading and mail orders, selling close to 2,000 copies worldwide and even receiving a licensed cassette release in South America - an impressive feat in the pre-internet underground.

For this 2026 digital re-release, as well as for the previously released vinyl edition (which can be ordered here), the original cassette sources were carefully restored and remastered by Henrik West at Medley Studio, preserving the raw intensity while making the material suitable for modern listening platforms.

Withering Surface went on to release four full-length albums between 1997 and 2004, touring extensively across Europe and beyond, appearing at major festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Roskilde, and sharing stages with bands like Arch Enemy, Opeth and Dimmu Borgir. After a 15-year hiatus, the band returned in 2020 with “Meet Your Maker”, followed by their latest album “Exit Plan” in 2024, accompanied by extensive touring.

"Unique" is available now on all streaming platforms. Stream/buy it via this link.

EMPIRE DROWNS RELEASE "ENDLESS NIGHTS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Today, Danish collective EMPIRE DROWNS unveil their new album “Endless Nights” - a powerful journey through the emotional extremes of melodic doom and death metal.

Inspired by the bleak beauty of Scandinavian winters and the vivid contrasts of East African landscapes, the record captures a world where beauty and despair intertwine. Combining towering growls, mournful harmonies, thunderous percussion, and ghostly keys, the band crafts an atmospheric yet melodic sound that recalls Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, and Anathema, while remaining distinctly their own.

Recorded by Marco Angioni (Tygers of Pan Tang, Thorium) and mixed/mastered by Tue Madsen (Moonspell, The Haunted, Baest), “Endless Nights” balances emotional depth with dense, precise production.

“Endless Nights” is out now on LP (grey vinyl, limited to 150 copies), CD, and digital via Mighty Music. It can be ordered and streamed via this link.

TROLD RELEASE LIVE ALBUM "TIL GILDE UNDER ULVEN (LIVE AT COPENHELL 25"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

On a sunny afternoon, as the sky glowed over Refshaleøen, thousands of souls gathered for a feast no one will ever forget. At Copenhell 2025, folk metal berserkers TROLD stormed the festival’s Hades stage, and with an explosion of fire, confetti, and raw power, the day was transformed into a fairytale of shouts and revelry!

Now the band releases it all under the fitting title “Til Gilde Under Ulven  (Live At Copenhell ’25)” - a tribute to the party, the community, and the raw troll magic that made both mortals and otherworldly beings dance in the sunlight.

The press wrote about the concert:

“From the green realm of the forest to Copenhell’s dusty asphalt jungle – TROLD created a folk festival in broad daylight.” - GAFFA

TROLD themselves roar from the depths of the forest:

“This afternoon was more than a concert - it was a feast, a roar, a merging of troll, human, and fire. We now share this day with you all - so the Wolf may howl again!”

So polish your boots, tighten your belt, and get ready - for “Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live at Copenhell '25)” is coming soon, and the party calls once more.

ORM RELEASE "GULD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

ORM: Denmark’s Atmospheric Black Metal Outfit Releases Intense Fourth LP, GULD, Out Today And Streaming Everywhere Through Indisciplinarian

Stream ORM’s GULD HERE.

Danish black metal band ORM delivers their fourth album, GULD, out today through their long-running allies at Indisciplinarian.

With GULD, ORM marks yet another important step in their musical development, building on their characteristic epic and progressive approach to black metal – this time in a more direct and intensified format with five shorter and more concise compositions. Musically, GULD is ORM’s most focused and uncompromising album to date. The five songs, which range from six to twelve minutes, are built around intense riff structures, relentless rhythmic shifts and complex melodies that weave in and out of each other like a musical kaleidoscope. The album moves between furious aggression, deep sorrow, and ominous calm, placing ORM in a field of tension between traditional black metal and progressive elements drawn from both death metal and classic metal.

Thematically, GULD explores modern humanity’s self-destructive cultivation of negative emotions – a vain and manipulated pursuit of perfection and recognition that leads to fear, isolation and downfall. The album uses frameworks inspired by folklore and fables to portray human vanity, envy and self-deception as universal forces that have haunted mankind’s stories throughout history. Gold becomes a symbol of both wealth and decay – an alluring but poisoned promise that can never be fulfilled without a heavy price.

GULD was produced by guitarist/vocalist Simon Sonne Andersen and ORM, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Internal Bleeding, Vastum), and completed with artwork by Asger W. Krogh and photography by Lasse Høgh.

Listen to ORM’s crushing GULD today on Bandcamp HERE and all other streaming services HERE.

GULD is out today in three vinyl formats – 500 on Black, 150 on Red Gold, and 150 on Bio White –a CD digipak of 200 copies, a cassette run of 100 copies, and digitally at the Indisciplinarian webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE.

ORM was formed in 2015 and released its eponymous debut album in 2017, introducing the band’s melodic and ambitious approach to black metal. On their second album Ir in 2019 and its successor Intet • Altet in 2022, ORM expanded their musical palette with long, epic works and a deep thematic foundation rooted in mythology, folklore, and existential narratives. With GULD, the band once again takes a step toward a more riff-driven and aggressive expression, without abandoning the emotional and yearning atmospheres that have made them one of the most acclaimed names on the Danish metal scene.

ORM unites human synergy and analog craftsmanship – both in their music and in their visual expression, where collage artist Asger Krogh’s tactile artwork stands in contrast to today’s AI-driven aesthetics and emphasizes the album’s physical and organic undertone. With GULD, ORM once again demonstrates their ability to combine extreme music with deep thematic layers and artistic ambition, cementing their position as one of Europe’s most visionary black metal bands.

MEZMERIZER RELEASE LYRIC VIDEO FOR "WHISPERS OF LEVIATHAN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

MEZMERIZER Goes Full Prog in Lyric Video About the War Between the Woke and the Unawakened

Single: Whispers of Leviathan

Release Date: March 10, 2025

Location: Odense, Denmark

FFO: Nevermore, Devin Townsend, Artillery

Danish experimental metal band Mezmerizer is taking the global metal scene by storm with their latest release, Whispers of Leviathan , accompanied by a brand new lyric video that dives deep into the socio-political tensions of today. The band’s diverse fusion of prog metal, death metal, black metal, groove metal, and djent is now on full display, pushing boundaries both musically and lyrically.

Since their formation, Mezmerizer has captivated listeners worldwide, with over 4,000 Spotify streams before even completing their first interview. Much of this early attention is attributed to the band's frontman Michael Bastholm Dahl, known for his extensive touring experience with Danish thrash legends Artillery across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. However, the diverse backgrounds of the other members, including prog metal and death metal influences, have enabled the band to create a unique and genre-defying sound.

Released in late 2024, their debut album Whispers of Leviathan surprised both the band and their record label, Downfall Records, when fans gravitated towards the longer, more intricate tracks, such as the prog-metal-inspired "No Gain" and the virtuosic "Harbinger of Apeiron." Building on this momentum, Mezmerizer is now unveiling the lyric video for the title track, Whispers of Leviathan , a dark and twisted anthem that reflects the ongoing struggles within society.

Band composer Flemming Goldberg-Larsen explains: "Michael puts a lot of effort into the lyrics, and I hope metal journalists will ask him about them. He's a philosophy buff, and you’ll find references to Orwell’s 1984 and ancient philosophers throughout. While not a concept album, the lyrics speak to power struggles throughout history and the tensions of today’s society. We had many discussions about the events that have recently unfolded in our world—the assault on Capitol Hill, the Russia-Ukraine war, the Yellow Vests movement, and the growing divide between the 'woke' and 'unawakened' populations. This lyric video embodies those struggles.”

The lyric video for Whispers of Leviathan offers fans a visual journey through the band’s powerful commentary on the current state of the world, capturing the essence of a battle between societal factions. The video pairs perfectly with the song’s complex and aggressive composition, showcasing the band's musical versatility and philosophical depth.

Fans can look forward to a thought-provoking experience with this release as Mezmerizer pushes the envelope of modern metal and challenges listeners to engage with the realities of the world around them.

ROHAN RELEASE "SUFFERING WITH A SMILE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: Rohan

Album: Suffering with a Smile

Country: Denmark

Genre: Death Metal

Release date: January 24, 2025

One-man death metal project ROHAN is set to release the debut album ‘SUFFERING WITH A SMILE.’ The album’s eleven songs are both versatile and vicious, focusing on energetic drive, groove, and breakdowns. Copenhagen, Denmark based musician Thomas Berg formed this project with the goal of playing death metal that honors the variety of the genre’s many eras, from its primordial origins to more complex, modern compositions. ‘SUFFERING WITH A SMILE,’ is a strikingly dynamic offering of extreme metal that presents a macabre tapestry of punishment offered by the death metal genre over the years. Thomas’ catchy and brutal vocal lines add an addictive layer to the bludgeoning compositions.

PHRENELITH RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "A HUSK WRUNG DAY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Copenhagen death metal entity PHRENELITH is streaming a new song off the forthcoming Ashen Womb. Listen to "A Husk Wrung Dry" now at this location.

Dark Descent Records and Me Saco Un Ojo Records will release Ashen Womb on CD, vinyl, cassette, and digital formats on February 7. Pre-orders are available at:

darkdescentrecords.com (North America)

ddmsuo.eu (Europe)

mesacounojo.com

darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

Copenhagen’s PHRENELITH emerges from the darkness once again with their third and most unholy full-length offering, Ashen Womb. Nine sinister funeral marches, draped in a bleak and blackened atmosphere, provide a lens into the forthcoming end of times.

Ashen Womb Tracklist:

1) Noemata

2) Astral Larvae

3) A Husk Wrung Dry

4) Lithopaedion

5) Nebulae

6) Stagnated Blood

7) Sphageion

8) Chrysopoeia

9) Ashen Womb

A droning tone fades in, opening up a slow dirge that eases us into the apocalyptic explosion of death that will follow for the next 40 minutes. Where guitars anxiously scale the fretboard & weave morose melodies while drums pound and smash with the force of the Chicxulub impactor. Interspersed between the infernal, seismic, blackened stampedes are droning psychedelia & ambient noise interludes, immersing us further into the ever-growing darkness. But there are also moments of overwhelming beauty, like on tracks "Nebulae" and the eponymous "Ashen Womb," where PHRENELITH indulge in the repetition of their sinister melodies, layering Serpentinian guitars atop each other, spinning a web of desolate harmonies around the listener.

With Ashen Womb, PHRENELITH gives us the foretold sound of the apocalypse, but whether it’s a warning or a celebration is yet undecided.

MEZMERIZER Announces Debut Album Whispers of Leviathan, Set for Release on November 29, 2024

Danish metal collective set to unleash years of musical evolution with their highly anticipated debut release through Downfall Records.

Mezmerizer, the Danish metal collective, is proud to announce the release of their debut album Whispers of Leviathan, set for November 29, 2024, through Downfall Records. Formed in 2009 as a creative outlet for metal musicians from Odense, Denmark, Mezmerizer has evolved over the years, experimenting with different musical styles and influences, culminating in this highly anticipated debut.

Originally conceived as a side project where musicians could break from their main bands and explore new sounds, Mezmerizer quickly gained attention with the release of their first track on a compilation album. Over the years, the band has collaborated with some of Denmark’s finest metal vocalists, including Jonas Viuff (Terrorpy), Esben Elnegaard Hansen (Hatesphere), and Michael Bastholm Dahl (Artillery). The music of Mezmerizer has continuously evolved, and with the departure of Michael Bastholm Dahl from Artillery in 2023, the band seized the opportunity to focus on refining their sound in the studio.

Whispers of Leviathan represents the culmination of years of experimentation and growth for Mezmerizer. The album fuses elements from across the metal spectrum, from the harshest black metal riffs to the most melodic harmonies. Speaking about the album’s style, Michael Bastholm Dahl notes, “The music is composed and recorded by artists who love all kinds of metal… we listen to each riff and try to come up with melodies, harmonies, punchlines, and rhythms that add something interesting to the overall sound.”

Flemming Goldberg-Larsen, the band’s primary composer, shares that Iron Maiden has been a life-long influence on his songwriting. “I love a million different metal bands, but when I work on new material, I remind myself that a live show can be built around aggressive tunes like ‘Wrathchild,’ epic songs like ‘Seventh Son of a Seventh Son,’ and crowd-pleasers like ‘Fear of the Dark.’ I may not have the same skills as Iron Maiden, but I will always strive to honor the tradition of bands that go the extra mile to give their listeners a memorable experience.”

The lyrics on Whispers of Leviathan tackle the double standards often seen among society’s leaders, exploring themes of deception and hypocrisy. The band emphasizes that the messages in their music and upcoming videos will challenge listeners to think critically about the world around them. As Mezmerizer reflects, "In a time where many people point fingers at each other, conflicts can often be avoided if we remember that things are seldom as they seem—neither in Denmark nor anywhere else."

For Fans Of: Iron Maiden, Artillery, Hatesphere, and experimental metal bands that blend aggressive and melodic elements.

Whispers of Leviathan will be released digitally and on CD via Downfall Records on November 29, 2024.

Stream previous HYPERDONTIA releases on Spotify and Apple Music.

Firing on all cylinders from the get-go, their relentless brand of pulverizing guitars and punishing drums with intricate bass lines cut only by monstrous vocals spew forth. Monolithically mixed to grant us the most viscerally lacerating blows of Death Metal might, those who salivate for true morbidity will revel in the ecstatic putridity that immediately grips you. From the gut-wrenching rhythmic torment to the phenomenal soloing, aside from sheer brutality, Hyperdontia have technical abilities that far surpass most of their contemporaries while never feeling obnoxious with their utilization. Some utterly mad bass guitar moments or ripping solos show a band who clearly know their way around a fretboard while the consistently savage drumming doesn’t let the rhythmic battery relent. As we heard on their prior works; Hyperdontia are a confident and unforgiving entity and that continues here.

Although they are inarguably merciless and intense, there is such dynamic strength on this new record from the maelstroms of grooves to the more otherworldly sections, all tied together to plunge headlong into abhorrent chaos. Barbaric and yet precise, each blow lands with ferocity and yet a cleverness to every moment is present too. If you value Death Metal being of the highest quality but without sacrificing the true macabre spirit of old, Hyperdontia is the perfect middle ground and their new album showcases that formidably. Promising a harvest of malevolence and ultimately delivering much more, Hyperdontia decimate all in their pathway with some of their most violently intense and cyclonic Death Metal to date.

Tuna - Drums

Mustafa - Guitars (lead)

BLAZING ETERNITY RELEASE "A CERTAIN END OF EVERYTHING"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

A Certain End Of Everything

by Blazing Eternity

Label: Mighty Music

Tracklist:

1.One Thousand Lights 07:29

2.The Secrets Of White 06:16

3.A Certain End Of Everything 07:09

4.The Ghosts Of Another Broken Life 05:17

Danish doom/gothic metal combo Blazing Eternity is back with a new album. “A Certain End Of Everything” – to be released on April 19th 2024 – is the first new album since 2003 from one of Denmark’s pioneer bands within the melodic doom/goth metal genre.

“A Certain End Of Everything” consists of seven new tracks, including the already released first single “One Thousand Lights”. The music has the well known Blazing Eternity atmosphere and fingerprint – a melancholic, epic and atmospheric doom/gothic metal mix with weeping guitars and harsh vocals. The album is bleak and melancholic, but with a certain beauty shining in the darkness – and with very personal lyrics dealing with death, depression, and personal tragedies. But

with a gleam of hope in the end…

Will appeal to fans of early Katatonia, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost.

“A Certain End Of Everything” was written and arranged by original members Peter Mesnickow, Morten Kroll Lybecker and Lars Riis Korsholm – with additional synth arrangements by Flemming Kaspersen from electronic act Delayscape.

Blazing Eternity was formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1993 and released two successful demo tapes in 1996 and 1998 leading to a deal with German Prophecy Productions. This resulted in the two albums ”Times And Unknown Waters” (2000) and ”A World To Drown In” (2003) as well as performances on big festivals such as Roskilde Festival and Wave Gotik Treffen.

After 2004, the band were not active anymore – until 2011/2012 where Blazing Eternity reformed for four concerts in Denmark and Germany.

After this, the band went into hiatus, but secretly started working on new material in 2018. But with big challenges in the process. First the death of vocalist Peter Mesnickow’s long-time wife Lilja, and secondly the death of Blazing Eternity live-keyboardist Jens Hansen. Two events that have affected the new songs a lot – but in the end leading to the brand-new album “A Certain End Of Everything”. to be released in April 2024.

Recorded with Jacob Gundel (Withering Surface, Invocator etc). Mixed and mastered by Markus Stock Schwadorf (Empyrium, The Vision Bleak, Alcest, etc), who also produced the first two albums by Blazing Eternity.

Blazing Eternity is confirmed for Metal Magic Festival (DK) and Næstved Metal Fest (DK) in 2024, but more live performances will be announced later.

“I absolutely loved to mix and master this album of my old friends Blazing Eternity. Not just because of reasons of nostalgia but because it is an absolutely beautiful and soulful album that lives in the past and the here and now“ (Markus Stock Schwadorf)
