OBVURT RELEASE NEW VIDEO: "PATIENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

OBVURT Unleash New Video “Patience” – A Testament to Resilience and Reinvention

Quebec City, Canada — Canadian death metal innovators Obvurt return with their crushing new single “Patience,” out now via Brutal Mind . Known for their boundary-pushing approach to technical death metal, Obvurt continue to redefine the genre with fresh ideas, fearless experimentation, and deeply personal songwriting.

Following the acclaim of their 2022 debut full-length Triumph Beyond Adversity ( Unique Leader Records ), and their 2025 sophomore effort An Alternate Dimension ( Brutal Mind ), the band shows no signs of slowing down. “Patience” stands as a bold example of frontman Philippe Drouin’s commitment to innovation—marking the first song he ever composed on his now-signature double-guitar .

  “The writing process changed everything for me,” Drouin explains. “The double-guitar opened a whole new dimension of sound. No chugs, no tremolos—only hammer-ons and pull-offs. It forced me to rethink what brutal riffs could be.”

Obvurt have built their reputation not only on their ferocious musicianship but also on their spirit of resilience. After releasing their debut EP The Beginning in 2021, the band made headlines for performing an unorthodox set in front of an elementary school class where Drouin once worked as a teacher. Since then, they’ve endured lineup changes and challenges, but emerged stronger than ever with their current lineup:

Philippe Drouin - Guitars

Enzo Roussel - Bass

Michel Gagné Bouchard (Mitch) - Drummer

Drawing inspiration from icons like Decapitated, Suffocation, and Dying Fetus , Obvurt continue to carve their own identity in the death metal underground. Drouin’s personal journey—relearning guitar left-handed after injury, and adapting his technique to the radical double-guitar—is woven directly into the DNA of “Patience.”

The song embodies both struggle and endurance, channeling the very perseverance that defines Obvurt’s path. Fans got an early taste of this spirit with the recent single “Hold On To Hope,” inspired by Jason Becker’s resilience in the face of ALS. “Patience” takes that same ethos of survival and determination and pushes it into heavier, more brutal terrain.

With “Patience” and An Alternate Dimension , Obvurt prove that death metal can be more than brutality for brutality’s sake—it can be a canvas for meaning, innovation, and unbreakable will.

Listen to “Patience” now via Brutal Mind and prepare to experience Obvurt in an entirely new dimension.

For fans of: Decapitated, Suffocation, Dying Fetus

Label: Brutal Mind

GORRCH RELEASE "STILLAMENTUM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Gorrch

Stillamentum

Label: Avantgarde Music

Release date: January 30th, 2026.

Formats: CD / LP / Digital

Country: Italy

Genre: black metal

Hailing from Northeastern Italy, Gorrch formed in 2010 as a duo composed of brothers Droich (guitars, bass) and Chimsicrin (drums, vocals, keyboards). Over the years, Gorrch carved their niche in the Italian underground with a singular, uncompromising vision of black metal — from the feral intensity of their 2013 self-titled EP and the 2015 full-length 'Nera Estasi', to the more experimental, dissonant, and atmospheric textures of their 2020 EP 'Introvertere'.

Rare live performances and an aura of mystery — not least the vocal-masked front presence of Chimsicrin — have helped Gorrch build a cult following among the followers of extreme, chaotic black metal.

Produced by Andrea Petucco (Ad Nauseam), 'Stillamentum' marks Gorrch’s long-awaited return, as well as the first collaboration between the duo and Avantgarde Music. 'Stillamentum' is a full-length album steeped in claustrophobic intensity, dissonant chord structures, and relentless sonic tension. From punishing tremolo riffs and blasting drumming to cavernous production that evokes suffocating atmospheres, the record channels the band’s obsession with sound as ritual and catharsis. Gorrch push further into darkness with an unwavering commitment to raw emotion and existential dread, crafting a labyrinth of shadows and pain.

Avantgarde Music will release 'Stillamentum' on CD, LP, and digital on January 30th, 2026.

WITCHER RELEASE VIDEO FOR "ÖRÖKLET"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

WitcheR’s history started back in 2010. The band was formed by Gere Karola (synths, vocal) and Neubauer Roland (guitars, drums, vocal) in order to perform atmospheric black metal music based on classical music elements and strong synths harmonies. From the very beginning, catchy melodies and elevated mood took important parts in the music. The lyrics are mostly about witchcraft, Hungarian folklore, adherence to old values, and the maximum opposition to the modern world.

New album "Öröklét" was released November 4, 2025 on CD and tape via Filosofem Records (pre-order), on vinyl via Beveria Productions (pre-order) and popular streaming platforms (Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon, Apple, Deezer, Tidal). Cover artwork was done by Grafit & Hamu Artworks.

The third video clip by WitcheR has been released, created for the title track of their fourth full-length album, "Öröklét (Eternity)".

The work is not only a musical piece but also a visual special feature, as the clip was created over the course of an entire year and evokes the ancient rituals of pagan witches.

“We didn’t just want to make a video clip, we wanted to experience the entire year in the spirit of the song.” — WitcheR comments.

The freshly released video further deepens WitcheR’s dark, mystical universe, where music, nature, and ancient traditions form an organic unity. The rituals appearing in the clip are rooted in pagan ceremonies tied to solstices, witch traditions, and the cycles of nature.

The long, year-long creative process made it possible for the video not only to tell a story, but also to convey time and cyclicality, and even to document the changing of the seasons.

“This song and this video are about time. About how everything returns, and nothing passes without leaving a trace.”

SHINE STREAM NEW SONG "KNEEL BEFORE THE SERPENT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Poland's SHINE is now streaming a new track off their forthcoming debut album, Wrathcult. "Kneel Before the Serpent" marks the second taste of the fury to come later this month with the album's impending release.

Stream "Kneel Before the Serpent" now at youtu.be/Z_JCjauzBtU?si=eNOu52l2XdcBOhzb

Wrathcult is due out January 30 on Dark Descent Records.

Pre-order Wrathcult on digital, CD and vinyl formats at:

Dark Descent Records: www.darkdescentrecords.com/shop

Dark Descent Records EU Store: ddmsuo.eu

Dark Descent Records Band Camp: darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com

Born from the grips of the pandemic, SHINE are the newest brainchild of Hazael’s Tomasz Dobrzeniecki, and their first album Wrathcult leaves no doubt that a new force in Polish extreme metal has awakened.

Inspired by the likes of Emperor, Bathory, Morbid Angel, Entombed and Dismember, Dobrzeniecki’s new outfit channels that lineage into something raw, relentless, and unmistakably its own.

“‘SHINE’ for me is a sheen of a sword's blade, the last thing that your foes see in their lives. You can also relate it to the Promethean light given to people that enlightens or sometimes blinds us. It can also be a glare of rage stemming from the resistance towards the unnatural rules forced upon us,” explains Dobrzeniecki when asked about his new unit’s name. “Our music is full of references to ancient rules and rituals and times when people lived in accordance with nature and cosmos using the primeval knowledge.”

Dark Descent Records will handle the release, having previously collaborated with Dobrzeniecki on the reissue of Hazael’s classic opus. Wrathcult continues in similar thematic territory, invoking forgotten ancestral knowledge and tapping into primal forces, and mythic echoes of a pre-Christian world.

“Lyrics for the album are mainly inspired by the pre-Christian spirituality and mythology of our forefathers and based on such books as Bestiariusz Słowiański, Mitologia Słowiańska by J. Bobrowski and M. Wrona, and Słowiańska Czarownica (Slavic Bestiary, Slavic Mythology, Slavic Witch). The lyrics pay homage to nature and higher powers in order to upkeep the memories of the beliefs that once shaped our heritage. We live on the borderline of three cultures that blend together in some way – Germanic, Norse and Slavic mythology have quite a lot in common.”

The album was recorded at Heinrich House Studio in Legionowo, Poland - a small city on the outskirts of Warsaw that holds an important place in metal history, being the hometown of Daray (Dimmu Borgir, Vesania), Orion (Behemoth, Vesania) and Heinrich (Vesania, Decapitated). “Me and producer Heinrich (Filip Hałucha) have known each other for about 20 years. If you want to record a metal album that 100% meets your expectations, I think he's the only person that I trust.”

An uncompromising slab of ancient fury awaits! “See you in Valhalla! I’ve heard the parties there are worth dying for,” exclaims Dobrzeniecki.

1. Ancient Chaos

2. The Lamb Against the Wolf

ERADICATION RELEASE "ERADICATION" EP

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Eradication: São Paulo-based Death Metal band releases brutal self-titled debut EP with special release show

Formed in the interior of São Paulo in the city of Cerquilho, the death/thrash quartet Eradication released their debut EP on January 16th. "Eradication", released on streaming platforms through the label Verde Produções, emerges with weight and conviction, a work with an overwhelming rhythmic cadence driven by a striking vocal performance and razor-sharp instrumental work.

"Eradication portrays the inevitable collapse of humanity consumed by greed and arrogance. Amidst the shadows that devour the light and cities transformed into ashes, Eradication leads a final march towards the abyss, where collective agony announces the end of all hope for humanity," states the band.

Formed in late 2024 the band consisting of Fernando (vocals), Ygor (guitar), Danilo (bass), and Heric (drums)  brings a blazing maturity and solidity, inspired and influenced by names like Bloodbath, Morbid Angel, Deicide and Behemoth. The band emerges from chaos and violence presenting songs with a dense atmosphere, with striking riffs, dark guttural vocals, and a raw, visceral approach. The lyrics question and challenge faith in humanity, exploring the ruin of a civilization corroded by its own corruption.

The debut EP "Eradication" was recorded at Fraktal Studio in Cerquilho and features recording, mixing, and mastering by Fernando Roma and Hiorito. The material presents six solid tracks that officially introduce a substantially promising and powerful band, which can soon be officially experienced live at a free performance at the Underground Fest festival in Cerquilho on January 24th, along with four other bands.
