Squelching Flesh is a new project emerging from New Jersey. Set against the grimy backdrop of 1985 Manhattan, their album "Psychic Incarceration" is not just another brutal release; it's a headbanging journey that brings innovation while staying true to the roots of the genre. The album artwork, an original piece by Vladimir Chebakov, intensifies the horror theme with its evocative style.

The creative minds behind Squelching Flesh are Tom Anderer (Reeking Aura, Grey Skies Fallen) and Terrell Grannum (Reeking Aura, Thætas), who skillfully blend the bone-crushing old-school slam with the gritty punch of goregrind. Their unique use of a six-string bass adds a deeper texture, and guest vocals from Will Smith (Afterbirth, Reeking Aura) and Paulo Paguntalan (Miasmatic Necrosis, Encenathrakh) elevate the intensity. Mastered by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice), "Psychic Incarceration" achieves new heights of crude excellence, offering an exquisite mix of barbarity and precision.

Each track on the album narrates a tale of psychological torment and primal fear, drawing listeners into a dark world where demons lurk in the shadows of city streets. The clever lyrics and intricate compositions set this album apart, making it a must-listen for fans who appreciate bands like Blasted Pancreas, Afterbirth, and Demilich.

LANZERRATH STREAM FULL NEW TRACK "NEBULAR COLLAPSE: THE DISSOLUTION OF ORDER AND MEANING"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The full 20-minute version of the new song from black metal horde LanzerRath is now streaming.

"Nebular Collapse: The Dissolution of Order and Meaning" is a 20-minute journey into darkness that can be found on the band's split release with Shroud of Despondency, out May 10 on Northern Spire Productions.

LanzerRath's "I" comments on the song, "The song is a cosmic odyssey that traverses the depths of nihilism and the search for meaning in a universe indifferent to our existence. With a backdrop of the sun's enduring flame and the decay of mortal coils, the lyrics challenge us to find significance in the fleeting moments of life.

"It's a journey through time, space, and consciousness, where the ultimate liberation lies in embracing the cosmic explosion—the final release from the erosion of eternity. This song is not just a musical piece; it's a philosophical inquiry into the essence of being, a tesseract of thought nestled in the infinite expanse of oblivion."

The split is now streaming in its entirety via Metal Insider. Listen now at this location.

Order the split now at northernspire.bandcamp.com

In 2018, founding members "I" and "II" created LanzerRath. A grassroots vision that pays homage to pioneers of black metal through four albums of pure energy and raw emotion. Now in 2024, LanzerRath brings us their magnum opus on cosmic nihilism.

Using their signature metal maelstrom to convey the insignificance of human life among the vast vacuum, ensorcelled by chaos, LanzerRath delivers it all. Compelling atmospherics, aggressive riffing, blast beats, and scathing vocals produce a uniquely dynamic soundscape. With themes of madness, misery, and mystery propagating their almost Lovecraftian universe. If that wasn't enough, they’ve also paired up with the northern black metal act Shroud of Despondency to round out the split.

Shroud Of Despondency/LanzerRath Split Tracklist:

Shroud Of Despondency:

1. The Source of Multiversal Degradation

2. Celestial Venom

LanzerRath

DELIRIA RELEASE VISUALIZER FOR NEW ALBUM "PHANTASM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Post-black metal band DELIRIA have released a visualizer for their spectral new album Phantasm, released May 3, 2024.

The band comments, "We are thrilled that Phantasm is now available. The album reflects darkness and struggle, and this time we bring a more focused, ghostly approach. All of the time we spent tracking this shines through, all the guitars we used on the recording (amongst others a '72 Gibson SG) and the LPs came out amazing. From the spectral artwork to the reverb soaked melodies, the album delivers a haunting atmosphere. Celebrating with our recent album release show was truly unforgettable."

Stream the visualizer for Phantasm: https://youtu.be/1BXqOQzV6Mc

About DELIRIA:

DELIRIA is an evocative post-black metal band from the San Francisco Bay Area formed in 2017 by David Scanlon (DAWN OF OUROBOROS). A fundamental critique of consciousness, the band crafts ordinary life in endogenous melancholia. Quickly joined by vocalist Adam Rupp (KILL THE MESSENGER), the duo sought drummer Jared Klein (RIVERS OF NIHIL) to record their debut album, Nausea. 

Inspired by existential dread, Rupp's tortured misery and Scanlon's somber melodies coalesce in bleak pessimism and gloomy aurorae. In 2018, the additions of guitarist Brent Rockwell (THE UNDYING) and Jade Forsythe (EMBRIUM) secured a live lineup, with DELIRIA performing alongside acts such as TYR, ULCERATE, and THE ZENITH PASSAGE. 

The band re-entered the studio in 2020 to record their second full-length album, Phantasm. Bolstered by Andrew Baird (FALLUJAH) on drums, DELIRIA expands its melancholic approach, this time highlighting its morbid and occult arrangements. DELIRIA's current lineup features the addition of drummer Brandon Clevenstine (SYMBOLIK). Together the quintet has gathered enthusiasm among fans of their influences, such as KATATONIA, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, and FIELDS FO THE NEPHILIM. 

Band Lineup:

Vocals: Adam Rupp (KILL THE MESSENGER)

Guitar: David Scanlon (DAWN OF OUROBOROS)

Guitar: Brent Rockwell (THE UNDYING)

Bass: Jade Forsythe (EMBRIUM)

Drums: Brandon Clevenstine (SYMBOLIK)

KITSA RELEASE VIDEO FOR "SEEDS OF FAMINE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

KITSA is a rousing heavy rock act hailing from the salted aura of Port Orchard, Washington. Launched in 2022, the band's music is deeply rooted in weighty riffs, spanning various genres over several decades, with a deep nod to Pacific Northwest grunge.

With Elder, The Sword, Down, Alice In Chains, and Nazareth cited as some of their influences, the foursome of KITSA comprises members from eclectic bands, including Devilbilt, YEDD, Teepee Creeper, Pivot Point, Earthwreck, and Abused. In April 2023, KITSA released three incendiary live demo tracks recorded by Jeremy Deede and Tony Reed at Devils Child Records. 

Later in 2023, the band set out to record their full-length debut, 'Dead by Dawn.'  A melting pot of musical forces, the record features an assortment of sweet, sweeping vocal harmonies on the title track "Dead by Dawn," the live fan favorite "Journeyman," and a classic rock banger "Seeds of Famine." Dead by Dawn is transcended by hard-hitting muscled tracks like "She" and "Hate." 

Doomed & Stoned premieres the brand new music video from the band’s recent debut LP, presenting the first track, "Seeds Of Famine," in a motion graphics treatment by DrainHope. 

So says Billy Goate of D&S:

 "'Seeds of Famine' is a grungy, swampy heavy rock number with hints of Alice in Chains and Black Sabbath. Husky vocals from Skot Davis fall somewhere in the neighborhood of Kurt Windstein and Zakk Wylde. Lyrics reflect regret in the face of one’s mistakes, drowning sorrows in hard work, loud music, and a tall frothy beer."

Give a visual whirl to the new video for KITSA's "Seeds Of Famine" over at Doomed & Stoned:

VALFREYA RELEASE VIDEO FOR "LE PERIPLE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Since 2009, Canada’s Valfreya has been honing their sound bringing in elements from black metal, and folk metal with touches of symphonic metal to create powerful music that has been heard around the world. With an impressive five albums already under their belts, they are gearing up for the sixth “Dawn of Reckoning”, coming out on May 24, 2024. A formidable concept album that tells of the goddess Hel striking back at humanity, it is a gritty, aggressive journey into mythology. The band comments on the second single “Le Périple” (“The Journey”), which is being released now in lyric video form:

“This album marks a significant evolution in our sound. While our earlier works leaned heavily on joyful and folkloric elements, “Dawn of Reckoning” takes on a symphonic blackened death metal approach. As for the single, it represents a human’s life: Innocence, discovery, ambition, false ideas, lies... This being slowly realizes that humanity is not virtuous.”

Gone are the days of folk metal and Viking metal. Valfreya invites listeners to embrace dark symphonies intertwined with tumultuous guitar riffs that will leave an indelible mark on their minds. “Dawn of Reckoning” promises to guide audiences through a journey of bitterness, nostalgia, and apocalyptic destruction, all set against a backdrop of cold nature and epic melodies.

Valfreya is a Canadian blackened death symphonic metal band hailing from Montreal. With a diverse discography that spans multiple genres, Valfreya continues to push the boundaries of metal music with its innovative sound and uncompromising vision. They are recommended for fans of Xaon, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Carach Angren.

CRYPTIC HATRED emerged from the depths of the Finnish underground death metal scene in 2020, with their debut demo titled “Free From The Grave”. Founded in 2019 by a group of four school friends driven by their passion for extreme music, the band quickly gained recognition for their intense and visceral old school sound.

Initially drawing inspiration from the old-school Florida death metal scene, CRYPTIC HATRED embarked on a journey of sonic exploration, pushing the boundaries of their genre and forging their own unique path. With a relentless dedication to their craft, the band honed their skills and evolved their sound, blending elements of death metal with haunting melodies and cryptic atmospheres. As CRYPTIC HATRED continued to refine their sound, they gained a reputation for their mesmerizing live performances, where the raw energy of their music collided with an aura of mystique and darkness.

In 2022, CRYPTIC HATRED released their debut album, "Nocturnal Sickness" which received critical acclaim for its unrelenting intensity and haunting melodies. The album showcased the band's ability to seamlessly weave together brutality and their cryptic harmonies, leaving a lasting impression on listeners.

Now, as they prepare to unleash their sophomore album, "Internal Torment", upon the world in the summer of 2024, CRYPTIC HATRED stands poised to solidify their place as pioneers of their cryptic metal take on death metal. With each track crafted to evoke a sense of inner thoughts and existential dread, "Internal Torment" promises to be a journey all the way from Florida Death Metal bomb blast beats, to melancholic Finnish death metal atmospheres.

Driven by a relentless passion for their art and an unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of extreme music, CRYPTIC HATRED continues to defy expectations and redefine what it means to create truly mesmerizing and cryptic metal. With their sophomore release on the horizon, the band's enigmatic allure shows no signs of fading, ensuring that their legacy will endure long into the future.
