Today, American black metallers Luring stream the entirety of their highly anticipated third album, Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy. Set for international release on December 13th via Iron Bonehead Productions, hear Luring‘s Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy in its entirety here:
Belonging to the Order of the Broken Sword circle which includes labelmates Azathoth’s Dream and Wuldorgast, Luring made their public debut in 2018 with the Interitu Caret Devotione ad Coronam Satanas demo. From there, with the successive full-lengths Victory Fires Ablaze Under the Banner of Lucifer and the Iron Bonehead-released Triumphant Fall of the Malignant Christ last year, Luring have slowly-yet-assuredly become one of the most exciting developments in American black metal of recent years, effortlessly finessing a stridently classicist form that doesn’t point toward preceding idioms too obviously nor overly.
Perhaps reaching their apotheosis of such, Luring now deliver Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy. The trio’s third album features much of the same foundation as its two LP predecessors – rippling physicality fused with otherworldly texture, inspired by contemporaneously early Abigor and Gorgoroth as equally as turn-of-the-millennium Nocternity and Lunar Aurora – but here do Luring intensify the extremes of their sound. On one hand, that physicality goes a more gutted direction, digging deep into sepulchral catacombs almost deathly. On another hand (and especially as the album plays on), their once-subtle melodicism goes to bolder lengths: some more melancholic, others more triumphant, but always with a fully developed narrative arc. Interestingly, half the album is given to instrumental tracks that aren’t strictly “ambient” in the usual black metal sense(s), imparting haunting / alluring atmospheres that thread seamlessly into Malevolent Lycanthropic Heresy‘s overall sensory experience; however, there are touches of true ambient within the other four, otherwise-black-metal songs. Altogether, and armed with a cleaner and yet still-analog production, Luring render their third full-length a never-belabored masterclass in black metal both authentically ancient and refreshingly modern.

Today, Signal Rex announces January 31st, 2025 as the international release date for Nachash‘s highly anticipated second album, Eschaton Magicks, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Formed in 2011, Norway’s Nachash have patiently etched out a unique space in the wider metal underground. A power-trio from the very beginning, the band’s members currently play or have played in such bands as Celestial Bloodshed, Askeregn, Knokkelklang, Hideous Death, Kosmik Tomb, and Black Edifice among others. Black metal is the beginning base – unsurprisingly, given their country of origin – but elements of other metallic styles have been intertwined in varying degrees. The goal, ultimately, has been to conjure a dark and aggressive atmosphere yet keeping an epic bent to the music throughout, as well, by drawing on several traditions and styles. Nachash took their first steps toward that goal with 2015’s Conjuring the Red Death Eclipse EP and then accomplished exactly that with their debut album, 2018’s acclaimed Phantasmal Triunity. Now, they’re set to eclipse that estimable full-length with LP#2, Eschaton Magicks.
Once again tellingly titled, Eschaton Magicks builds upon the shocking maturity of Nachash‘s debut album. Some six-plus years removed, it’s understandable that no small amount of growth would occur in the interim, but the trio’s shifting of sonic goalposts – from their earlier “deathened black metal” to a proud declaration of “Norwegian Metal of Death” – has only served to make their sound ever more unique. On the surface, Eschaton Magicks breathes bigger, fuller breaths of atmosphere; the tones are cleaner but not without grit, superficially more “black metal” in that sense. But that’s simply the surface: the songwriting itself is anchored fully to eldritch death metal, still flexing the same muscles as before but with a slightly more ethereal aspect – and as EPIC as ever. As such, the songwriting takes on wilder, more-winding contours compared to the debut’s patient pulse, but Nachash are nothing if not thorough in their thoughtful approach to song construction; riffs flow with poetic ease, alternately haunting and heroic, and the rhythm section suitably roils and tank-rolls with serpentine fervor.
Past references to the likes of GBK, Ares Kingdom, Mortuary Drape, Varathron, and Sacriphyx are relatively valid, but with Eschaton Magicks serving as their second full-length display of their all-too-considerable powers, Nachash have hereby staked their claim as contemporaries of those esteemed bands – and more so, as heralds of noble heavy metal songcraft.
In the meantime, hear the brand-new track “Sojourner of the Dark Passage” here:

Today, Darkness Shall Rise Productions announces February 27th, 2025 as the international release date for a reissue of Hell Militia‘s cult-classic debut album, Canonisation of the Foul Spirit, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
Hell Militia – an assemblage of the vilest and most depraved individuals the French underground has spawned who have earned themselves a bad reputation by participating in Mütiilation, Arkhon Infaustus, and Temple of Baal among others – burst onto the scene with their first full-length in 2005. Preceded only by an appearance on a split 7″ and a demo, the aptly titled Canonisation of the Foul Spirit was unleashed to wreak havoc and soil anything pure and holy in utter contempt. The album comprises 10 tracks (Psalms) with a professional but not-too-clean studio production, allowing for each instrument to be easily distinguished from one another without resulting in sounding polished or sterile. The riffs which are not too far removed from what one can hear on some of the albums the members have had a hand in and the quality of the songwriting disclose the fact that Hell Militia are anything but newcomers. The demented vocals that grace jolly carols like “Burning Human Pigs,” “Prophecy from the Mutilated Children,” or “Black Fucking Cancer” are cantillated by none other than Meyhnach from Mütiilation. Listening to him preaching the false gospel and spewing foul bile in his characteristic, unmistakable way of madness is certainly one of the highlights of Canonisation of the Foul Spirit.
Out of print for nearly 20 years, this reissue features an exclusive bonus track. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Today, Armageddon Label releases Wolf Hex‘s highly anticipated debut album, Profane Heresies, on vinyl LP format.
A group filled with longtime Rhode Island punk/metal veterans, Wolf Hex announce their first full-length, Profane Heresies: nine tracks that blend old thrash, black, and old-school early death metal. Long in the works, it’s time to unleash this beast and set it free.
From the ashes of Hell Bent, Wolf Hex was formed to carry on in the tradition of brutal old-school death and thrash metal in the vein of Death, Blood Feast, Hellhammer, Bathory, Onslaught, Sodom, Destroyer 666, Venom, and many more. Their music is a unique-yet-familiar approach to extreme metal, with songs about the occult, war, death, regional myths, and folklore. Wolf Hex include current and former members of veteran Rhode Island bands like Dropdead, Ulcer, Straight To Hell, Paindriver, and Advocate.

Invictus Productions in conspiracy with The Ajna Offensive are proud to present Necromaniac‘s long-awaited debut album, Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Invictus will handle the album’s release for Europe while Ajna will handle its North American release. The CD version is scheduled for release on January 13th, 2025 to coincide with the Wolf Moon, while the LP version will be released at a later date.
Forged in heretical fire while lurking in the darkest shadows of the underground for the past 13 years, this London-based (UK) band formed by Swedish, Spanish, Greek, and Polish musicians has crafted a debut album that’s guaranteed to send cold shivers down your spine. A truly sinister musical journey containing 9 forbidden rites steeped in witchcraft, necromancy, and an overall occult atmosphere, Necromaniac‘s first full-length is everything its weighty title promises…and more!
Those who were possessed by their 2015 demo tape and 2018 7″ EP don’t need to worry, as the Necromaniac sound of old is reanimated here. Only now it’s given delirious flight on demon wings of ecstasy: blacker, more metal, more epic, more atmospheric, more “mature,” more of MORE. Joining these morbid ghouls on their devilish quest are guests A.A. Nemtheanga of Primordial, Negative Plane’s Nameless Void, and one A Corpse Without a Soul, whose signature throat should not be unknown to astute underground dwellers. The sum effect of Sciomancy, Malediction & Rites Abominable is a sonic bacchanalia informed by the ageless wisdom of Hell’s heavy metal.
No mercy, no forgiveness, no salvation, no return…MORBID METAL TO THE DEATH!

When CRYPTOPSY emerged from Montreal, Quebec in 1993, their groundbreaking blend of technical prowess and brutal intensity left an indelible mark on extreme metal.
Right away, Cryptopsy showcased their unparalleled musicianship with their debut album. Blasphemy Made Flesh (1994) set the stage for a career that’s been defined by innovation and boundary-pushing. Their next album solidified the band as pioneers of death metal. None So Vile (1996) earned them critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase across the world.
“Brutal and beautifully chaotic…a must-have for any extreme metal fan’s collection”, wrote Metal Hammer, who named None So Vile one of the best death metal albums ever.
Cryptopsy has continued to evolve throughout their storied career. Their 30-year discography defies any one categorization, ranging from jazz fusion on Whisper Supremacy (1998) and the avant-garde rhythms of Once Was Not (2005) to the melodic experiments of The Unspoken King (2008).
In 2012, Cryptopsy released their self-titled album, which signaled a return to their brutal roots. Three years later, the band embarked on The Book of Suffering, an ambitious two-part EP that Decibelregarded as “an absolute fucking burner”.
Almost 30 years into their career, Cryptopsy won the JUNO Award for Best Metal/Hard Music Album for their latest album As Gomorrah Burns (2023). They followed that up by earning another prestigious honor: joining Death to All on a tour of North America.
Along with their celebrated discography, a relentless work ethic and reputation as blistering live performers has cemented Cryptopsy as one of metal’s most influential and respected bands. But while their legacy is safely established, the band remain committed to expanding the definitions of extreme music. Having now signed with Season of Mist, they’re preparing to release new music, along with definitive reissues from their classic catalogue, starting with The Book of Suffering: Tome I and Tome II.

Through unholy sacrifice and hellish Norwegian winters, for 20 years years, Tsjuder were blessed by Anti-Christian. But when the band’s heretical drummer bowed out ahead of their first album in eight years, founding members Nag and Draugluin needed another maniacal player to take their drum throne.
As willed by the Lords of Metal, iron beast Jon Rice ensured that Helvegr held hard and fast to the band’s eternally uncompromising spirit. Now, as they prepare to burn through Inferno and other European festivals, Tsjuder have officially announced their new permanent drummer.
“We are proud to announce Emil Wiksten as our permanent drummer”, says Nag and Draugluin. “We have been in contact with Emil for quite a few years and have been rehearsing and playing together live for some time now.
“A huge thanks goes to Jon Rice for playing on Helvegr and Scandinavian Black Metal Attack, as well as a bunch of our gigs”, they continue. “We would also like to give the same huge thanks to Eivin Bryre for performing on all our European gigs over the last four years”.
This isn’t the first time that Emil Wiksten has joined an esteemed band like Tsjuder. Not only has the Swedish native drummed for Blood Red Throne, Aeon and the legendary Abbath. He also helped arrange several songs on Helvegr, including the album’s fist-pumping lead single “Gods of Black Blood”.
“It’s another gnarly, kickass ride that reminds me that when I get on a Tsjuder kick, I can’t listen to black metal for a while. First, because it’s hard to find black metal I enjoy this much. And second, because my ears are bleeding” – Angry Metal Guy
“Helvegr is an utterly diabolical ride through the harsh, licking flames of Hell and one that’ll remind fans why Tsjuder are some of the titans of the genre” – New Noise
“You can’t make a better black metal album” – Metal Bite
“They are still an incredibly relevant and influential force that could still run circles around the majority of modern black metal acts with ease” – Distorted Sound

Since their inception in 1993, Oslo’s TSJUDER have been responsible for some of the most hate-filled ferocity perpetrated under the banner of TRUE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL.
The band’s unholy fire was initially lit when founding members NAG (vocals/bass), BERSERK (guitar) and DRAUGLUIN (guitar) grew weary of playing death metal and sought out engorged levels of extremity to sate their increasingly profane ambitions. The time was ripe to inaugurate a ceaseless campaign committed to an uncompromising strain of brutally raw black metal, influenced by the primal thrash blasts of Sodom, Kreator, Destruction, Sarcófago and early Sepultura; black metal first wave trailblazers such as Bathory and Hellhammer; and, most vitally, Mayhem’s seminal Deathcrush, and Darkthrone’s game-changer, A Blaze in the Northern Sky.
Assuming the TSJUDER name, a moniker plundered from a mythical, murderous Northern tribe, various embryonic line-ups gathered around the all-conquering core of Nag and Draugluin, laying the fearsome foundations for what was to follow with two demos – Ved Ferdens Ende and Possessed – recorded between 1995-96. But it was with 1997’s EP, Throne of the Goat, that the black metal underground really began to sit up and take notice, the release establishing TSJUDER’s reputation as a blasphemous bulldozer hellbent on crushing the insipid and nostalgic in relentless blizzards of sub-zero riffage, punitive blast beats and blood-curdling screams.
Recordings for an inaugural full-length in 1999 were lost to a computer virus, but from the scavenged remnants of these sessions would emerge the Atum Nocturnem demo, an obnoxious foretaste of the group’s debut album, Kill For Satan, an international breakthrough slathered in slime-encrusted sacrilege. That damnable release saw the aptly-named ANTI-CHRISTIAN open his TSJUDER account, the drummer blasting a succession of gateways though the underworld, pulverising a punitive march to the band’s malevolent maelstroms.
Demonic Possession (2002) and Desert Northern Hell (2004) sustained the band’s focus on death, devils and destruction, while ratcheting up the production levels on a barbaric brace of flesh-strippers conjuring a landscape of frost-bitten wastes and foul abyssal realms. With the music press busy dishing out plaudits, the band’s burgeoning confederacy of fanatics were becoming desperate for some TSJUDER live action. Heeding the clarion, the band embarked on a full European tour with fellow countrymen Carpathian Forest. They also recorded a pair of gloriously powerful live performances in 2005, in Norway, which would subsequently be documented on the group’s NorwegianApocalypse DVD.
TSJUDER would take a deserved hiatus in 2006, with members finding other musical outlets for their creativity; Nag launching heretical black metal outfit KRYPT; Draugluin and Anti-Christian doing time with the thrashier TYRANN.
But it wouldn’t be long before the irresistible call of TSJUDER would exert itself once more. The band reconvened, reenergised and eager to make up for lost time, returning to live performances in 2010 before finally unleashing the mighty Legion Helvete (2011), a typically uncompromising comeback interspersed with pronounced Motörhead influences on punkish hyper-blasters such as ‘Slakt’. It would be another four years before TSJUDER issued the merciless Antiliv (2015), a snarling lycanthropic howl of a record, heavy-loaded with vindictive black’n’roll swagger and lashings of buzzsaw guitar.
TSJUDER quickly set about creating the follow-up to Antiliv, but musical differences and protracted disputes led to a parting of the ways, with Anti-Christian bowing out after an impressive 20-year tenure with the group. Undaunted, Nag and Draughluin enlisted doyen tub-thumper JON RICE to provide the requisite drum artillery and continued to work on new recordings – fine-tuning guitar tones and sharpening mixes.
Then COVID-19 struck, the pandemic further stymieing the album’s release as the world tumbled from its fragile axis. But humanity is now benignly settling into its most chronic phase of perpetual abnormality and TSJUDER are steeled again to hoist their inverted cross above the barricades of conciliation. Their latest opus, Helvegr, is a devastatingly savage offering, one which fully adheres to the band’s eternal credo of “NO FUCKING COMPROMISE”.

Today, Balkan black metallers CMPT reveal the new track “U raljama košave.” The track is the first to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated second album, Na utrini, set for international release on December 27th via Osmose Productions. Hear CMPT‘s “U raljama košave” in its entirety here:
The second in the ambitious Balkan black metal trilogy, started with the debut album Na utrini, offers a conceptual prequel set before the events of the previous album begin to unfold. Utrina comes from the local vocabulary usually meaning a neglected, uncultivated land that no one pays attention to anymore. It is a desolate piece of land at the end of villages, between fields and forests, roads and marshlands, alienated and abandoned by common folk.
While Krv i pepeo carries the symbol of bloodlust, Na utrini paves its way in symbols of land, mud, and dirt and, as such, explores the world located on the northern wing of the Danube bank in the lower part of the Pannonian basin. These wet and muddy lands at the foot of the Carpathians were, for centuries, both home and the grave for numerous empires and civilizations, many of which still have their mark in local folklore, beliefs, and toponyms. It was here that the ancestors of the southern Slavs made their last stop before definitively settling on the Balkan Peninsula.
Once again following the night and the local “demon hour” (Serbian: “gluvo doba”), Na utrini is a record about the darkness of abandoned places, old ruins, cemeteries, wastelands, and liminal spaces that time has forgotten.

Today, Osmose Productions announces January 31st, 2025 as the international release date for the highly anticipated third album of Russia’s Pyre, Where Obscurity Sways, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
After four long years of silence and absence in the fog of the pandemic and war, like a heavy sledgehammer rushing towards your head, Russia’s Pyre return with their third full-length murderous opus, Where Obscurity Sways.
With the unique, fresh-sounding production but yet traditionally made in the old-school vein, along with the new level of performance, the new album delivers mid-tempo darkness and colder atmosphere of their previous album, complemented by classic phrases of band’s well-known high-speed crushing low-tuned rattling riffage with obscure melodies and solos and surely recognizable signature frantic voice.
