K.F.R mainman reveals GRIIIM: sets release date for PURITY THROUGH FIRE debut, special video featuring MÜTIILATION’S Meyhna’ch

Today, Purity Through Fire sets October 31st as the international release date for Griiim‘s shocking debut album, Pope Art, on limited digipack CD + DVD set.

Although a seemingly new name, Griiim is another horrifying manifestation of multi-discipline artist Maxime Taccardi, musically known for his polarizing work in K.F.R. Here with Griiim, he presents a different but equally nightmarish face, one that stares back at you with eerily hateful tension, a reflection of the face staring at him.

A staggeringly dense and sprawling work, Pope Art is as much about sensation – diseased, decaying, but utterly “new” its oldness – as it is about music. As such, Griiim is born from the urban decay of society, a musical nightmare taking influences from the most depraved black metal to the darkest corners of industrial, electro, ambient, and rotten hip-hop. With Maxime Taccardi’s characteristically challenging touch, Griiim is meant to be the sonic equivalent of the filthy streets and asphalt areas of his native Paris, France. Composed and recorded by entirely by Taccardi, Pope Art is crucially completed by a visual BAD TRIP divided into 12 parts, which he likewise directed, filmed and edited entirely himself. Just like the album’s musical component, it’s meant to be watched in the dark at maximum volume…

It is very unlikely, if not impossible, you will hear nor especially see an album like Griiim‘s Pope Art this year, or next, or the year after or… Guest performances by Mütiilation’s Meyhna’ch and Obskuritatem’s O simply grind the filth deeper into the earth, waiting for its eventual (and HORRIFYING) excavation. Beware…

In the meantime, see & hear the eerie video for “The Church of Negation,” featuring the aforementioned Meyhna’ch of Mütiilation here:

HAVOHEJ set release date for long-awaited new HELLS HEADBANGERS album, reveal first track

Today, Hells Headbangers sets November 15th as the international release date for Havohej‘s long-awaited third album, Table of Uncreation, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

There has never been another artist quite like Havohej. Perhaps Beherit, but whereas that band’s Holocausto Vengeance reveled in primitivism and eventually flipped the script with little to no warning, sole Havohej visionary Paul Ledney has studiously pursued the outer limits of BEYOND-black metal, patiently utilizing primitivism as a foundation to explore esoteric vibrations ‘n’ undercurrents only the most tweaked of ears are in tune to. Of course, the name Paul Ledney should be well known in the underground from his preceding Profanatica, but Havohejis the man’s vision alone, and it is a vision that’s massive and miasmic to behold.

Each Havohej release has been a world unto itself, even when those worlds fall within the remit of an EP release. The band’s earliest releases – the Unholy Darkness and Impurity EP and Dethrone the Son of God full-length, both from 1993 – essentially took the characteristic Profanatica template and proceeded to make it even more primitive. But, it was 1994’s landmark Black Perversion EP where Havohej took black metal to the hinterlands of unorthodoxy, sublimating conventional “black metal” instrumentation into a suffocating slab of transcendental foulness. That same year, Ledney released the Black Mist EP, which further separated itself from black metal convention by being an eerily minimalist expression of electronic ritualism.

Although a period of quiet mystery followed, in 2000 did Havohej release the volcanic Man and Jinn EP, which feature a brand-new track and intro alongside totally revolutionized covers of Venom and Impaled Nazarene, in essence reclaiming the source material and making it undeniably Ledney-esque. Following that EP, a revitalized Profanatica became Ledney’s focus for the next number of years, until 2007 and 2008 revealed a pair of EPs – Tungkat Blood Wand and Hornbrook Seytan, respectively, both released by Hells Headbangers – which showed Havohej stripping down the Black Perversion aesthetic to a crude ‘n’ crushing sort of black-doom drone. In 2009 did Kembatinan Premaster arrive courtesy of Hells Headbangers; across this stratifying full-length did Ledney largely recombine the previous Havohej records into an utterly devastating form of bestial black metal far, far removed from (and superior to) the “bestial metal” resurgence that was just taking shape.

Ever the iconoclast, Ledney brings back Havohej a whole ten years later with yet another defiant, shapeshifting form: Table of Uncreation, his third album under the banner. Exploring the seemingly wide divide between space and suffocation, here does Ledney draw the two together into a mesmerizing, monged-out subversion of black metal into simply BLACK. Traces of the entire Havohej aesthetic are well represented here on Table of Uncreation, and then spliced ‘n’ diced into juddering panoramas of primitive sonic filth. Truly, Ledney pierces the veil of forbidden forces only revealed to the blackest and most depraved of minds, as Table of Uncreation indeed lives up to its namesake and aborts “black metal” convention and instead vomits forth a crude, caustic, yet exceptionally nuanced type of undead birth. It’s as blasphemous as Ledney’s legendary work in Profanatica, but defiles tradition with an evil avant-garde touch that is Havohej‘s alone.

Quite simply, there’s very little, past and especially present, that can be compared to Havohej. While Ledney could’ve certainly left his legacy intact and left the name in permanent hiatus, with Table of Uncreation does he continue to challenge even the hardiest and hardened ears – and defiles them forevermore. Long live Havohej, and may it continue to die exquisite deaths.

In the meantime, in the leadup to this momentous event, hear the brand-new track “Seven Jinn here:

Reanimated Finnish black metal cult Black Beast premiere the new track “Nocturnal Bloodlust”

Today, reanimated Finnish black metal cult Black Beast premiere the new track “Nocturnal Bloodlust”. The track hails from the band’s LONG-awaited debut album, Nocturnal Bloodlust, set for international release on November 8th via Primitive Reaction
Hear Black Beast‘s title track “Nocturnal Bloodlust” in its entirety exclusively HERE:
Formed in the dark days of 2002, Black Beast made their public debut in 2005 with a self-titled 7″ EP. Back then, the band’s native black metal underground was making an international name for itself, and has since established itself as one of black metal’s most immediately identifiable idioms, not to mention one of the most enduring. The Black Beast EP introduced the duo with violent, vulgar aplomb, slotting well alongside their erstwhile Finnish contemporaries and yet exhibiting a refreshingly Motorheaded aspect (or at least one Venomous). They quickly capitalized on that enviable momentum with an even stronger showing the next year on a split album with comrades Bloodhammer, which was the first release by a then-young Primitive Reaction. Then, nothing…the Black Beast name sadly receded into the shadows.

Alas, bad habits die hard and ugliness is forever, and at long last, Black Beast deliver a full-length recording. Aptly titled Nocturnal Bloodlust, the now-trio’s debut album picks up exactly where they left off with the Bloodhammer split LP – as if an unlucky 13 years hadn’t passed – and then pumps the shocking waste full of narcotics and, yes, nocturnal bloodlust. Charging hard, giving no quarter, Black Beast whip forth an infinitely headbanging fury here, a resolutely asskicking Motorcharge that’s nevertheless not short on atmosphere. It’s purely and proudly all-caps BLACK METAL – after all, are they not monikered Black Beast? – and poignantly proves that, sometimes, the most singleminded focus yields the most gripping results.

Indeed, Nocturnal Bloodlust possesses a grip of near-anthems (eight total, as well as a show-opening “Prelude” banger); by “near,” we make clear that the band do NOT write “hits” for “the fans” or crowd approval or other dumb bullshit. Rather, Black Beast offer unyielding obeisance to Satan, as all true black metal should, and declare as much on the album’s final two tracks, “Fist of the Devil” and “Symbol for My Devotion.” Through it all, the album exudes a raw-yet-robust production, thick and viscous but just as equally emitting space and shade, ably highlighting that this recording does, in fact, feature actual humans playing actual music – not cut ‘n’ paste computer crap, like so much nowadays “extreme metal.”

Older, uglier, but just as hungry as the far-more-unforgiving days of the black metal underground from which they spawned, Black Beast have returned to claim their rightful dark throne with Nocturnal Bloodlust!

Also step forward with the previous revealed “Your Cold Grave” HERE at Primitive Reaction‘s Bandcamp.

The album-release gig shall take place at the SteelChaos festival November 8-9th in Helsinki, Finland. Also on the same release date shall Unholy Finnish Black Horror Union, the aforementioned split album with Bloodhammer, shall be reissued by Primitive Reaction on CD and, for the first time ever, vinyl LP and cassette tape formats.

FRONT BEAST to release new mini-album on HELLDPROD, reveal first track

Today, Helldprod Records sets November 15th as the international release date for a special mini-album from underground legends Front Beast titled Shadows on cassette tape format.

Since the late ’90s, this German entity has been lurking in the darkest corners of the black metal underground and accrued a cult status to kill for. Helmed by mainman Avenger – whose resume includes a dozen other bands/projects, most notably Nocturnal but also including the likes of Szarlem, Angel of Damnation, Black Priest of Satan, The Fog, and Exorcism among many others – Front Beast have stayed committed to a pure ‘n’ proud vision, honoring the ancient ways with a supremely prolific stream of demos and split releases.

Ever restless, it’s surprisingly been a quiet couple of years for Front Beast since their last fuller-length recording, the album Third Scourge From Darkness. A split 7″ with Mournful Winter came in 2018 courtesy of Avenger’s long-running Deathstrike label, but otherwise, the faithful have had to wait for a longer Front Beast recording. At last, it arrives with the simply titled Shadows, and no finer a distillation of the man’s aesthetic you will find. Recorded nice ‘n’ raw like a classic rehearsal but no less rich ‘n’ robust, Shadows perfectly encapsulates the Front Beast experience in a tidy 21 minutes: damp dungeon atmosphere, crude-yet-commanding execution, thirsty ‘n’ miserable vocals, an aura of hideousness and unhealth, and an unselfconscious obeisance of time-honored heavy metal values. More so, there’s definitely an old-school sinister thrash aura in Front Beast‘s musical approach that surpasses today’s black metal aesthetics due to the influences of such bands as Celtic Frost, Iron Angel, and Destruction – along with, naturally, early Bathory. So, Shadows is a true metal attack from the past!

Some 20 years later, Front Beast is still proudly producing trend-free black metal of an ancient, mystical hue. Feel the flames of Hell – again, or for the very first time – and beware of Shadows! Beware of the brand-new track “Morbid Visions,” which can be heard here:

ÖRNATORPET reveal first track from new NORDVIS album

Today, dungeon synth sorcerer Örnatorpet reveals the new track “Nykr.” The track is the first to be revealed from the artist’s highly anticipated fifth album, Vid Himinsenda,  set for international release on November 1st via Nordvis Produktion.Hear Örnatorpet‘s “Nykr” across all major digital platforms here:
Thus far, it is rare for Nordvis to work with a dungeon synth artist. As the genre has experienced remarkable growth the last five-plus years, so, too, has its overall quality been inversely affected. Among that glut, however, Sweden’s Örnatorpet stands tall: cold and alone, gleaming and glimmering myriad shades of mystery all emanating from the richest obsidian. So smitten with the artist’s work that Nordvis welcomed Örnatorpet into its family with last year’s Bergtagen, followed by Hymner Från Snökulla earlier this year.
  Paradoxically, for music so glacial, Örnatorpet works at a feverish pace, and now arrives the artist’s second album this year, Vid Himinsenda. As ever, the magick ‘n’ mysticism of the mid ’90s is invoked once again, recalling the long-lost sounds of such originators as Mortiis, Fata Morgana, and Trolltjern. Despite working exclusively with synths, there is nature worship aplenty across the recording – one need only view the cover art for cues – thus making Örnatorpet a perfect spiritual fit for the Nordvis collective. However, the spare ‘n’ plaintive textures, motifs, and general atmosphere Örnatorpet employ here suggest something far, far more ancient; like the best dungeon synth, one could confidently qualify Vid Himinsenda as “medieval.”
  However you can classify the album, there’s no denying that Örnatorpet‘s Vid Himinsenda works a majestic, mesmerizing spell. Truly, this is a portal to a forgotten realm, an arcane age whisked into the present if only to be witnessed within the mind’s eye. Don’t blink and miss it…

HORROCIUS reveal first track from OSMOSE debut

Today, Turkish black metal cult Horrocious reveal the new track “Perceived Integrity of Lord.” The track hails from the band’s highly anticipated debut album, Depleted Light and the Death of Uniqueness, set for international release on October 25th via Osmose Productions.

Inexorable hatred occurred with the coming together of Godslaying Hellblast, Sarinvomit, and Persecutory members in early 2015. Horrocious started as a two-man black metal band to spread the infernal sounds that symbolize the destruction of the universe under the infinite chaos and eternal dominance of diabolic nothingness, and in this way, they recorded a four-track debut EP, Obscure Dominance Of Nothingness, which was released as limited-edition cassette in 2015 and CD edition in 2016. Later, three new members (C.G. on guitars, E.K. on bass, Alexey on drums) were added to the lineup to record an eight-track debut full-length in the first quarter of 2018.

On this debut full-length, Depleted Light and the Death of UniquenessHorrocious points the egoism and ambition of the divinity and his spatial prison in the thearchia light of his orders when he wanted to be respected, and prepares the ground for an endless struggle. True power of the Lucipherian energy above the spiritual light and embraces infinite sinfulness by rebelling against the incomprehensible secret uniqueness trapped in sanctity. Would it be forgotten that the war of freedom given by the falling angels and the wrath of sealed old evil spirits? From the creation to the scarcity of information, the salvation of humiliated existence will be realized by the destruction of all the things mentioned as goodness, so the control of the worlds was only an embarrassing force, and the irresistible principles and authorities destroyed endless dissatisfaction and the system was designed in stages and the system of interdependence was inevitable. Because this was rebellious son Lucifer’s eternal war against the integrity of all worlds…

In the meantime, hear the new track “Perceived Integrity of Lord” here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Horrocious’ Depleted Light and the Death of Uniqueness

HEGEMONY reveal first track from HELLS HEADBANGERS debut – also cover and tracklisting

Today, uprising American black/death cult Hegemony reveal the new track “Rise in Turmoil.” The track hails from the band’s forthcoming debut album, Enthroned by Persecution, which will be released by Hells Headbangers during the first quarter of 2020 on CD and vinyl LP formats. Hear Hegemony‘s brand-new “Rise in Turmoil” in its entirety HERE at Hells Headbangers‘ official YouTube channel.

Hailing from Alabama, the four members of Hegemony – drummer Ruination Wielder, bassist Primordial Dominator, guitarist Barbaric Progenitor, and vocalist Fanatical Deathtitan – formed in 2015 and released their first demo a year later. Although a then-brand-new entity, the members of Hegemony possess a wealth of experience in other southern US bands, and that experience for sure showed on Demo MMXVI: a foul explosion of filth, bestial metal savagery executed with exacting cruelty. Not surprising that its three component songs are titled “No Throne Left to Topple,” “Driven by Hedonistic Vice,” and “Fist of Heretical Triumph.”

With those latter two songs reprised for their debut album, Enthroned by Persecution, Hegemony nevertheless strike upon newer, uglier territory here. Still unrepentantly and punishingly physical, here Hegemony move away from the more familiar bestial metal tropes as proffered by such bands as Bestial Raids and earlier Demonomancy and instead drive deeply into the idiom’s most viscous underbelly, bringing to the fore their latent death metal muscle and dragging everything down into caverns most doomed, dire, and disgusting. Arguably more world-eating than before, Hegemony’s ripped ‘n’ roiling attack is now more reminiscent of such overlooked bestial touchstones as Finland’s Belial and Mythos, Incantation’s earliest work, and especially ’90s Demoncy. As such, alongside labelmates Abysmal Lord‘s recent Exaltation of the Infernal Cabal, with Enthroned by Persecution are Hegemony standing at the forefront of the American South’s rising bestial metal vanguard.

South of Heaven, below Hell, become Enthroned by Persecution with Hegemony! Release date and preorder info to be announce shortly. In the meantime, hear the new brand-new track “Rise in Turmoil” here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Hegemony (USA)’s Enthroned by Persecution

GRYLLE to release expanded vinyl edition of ANTIQ debut album

On November 20th, Antiq is proud to present Grylle‘s striking debut album, Les Grandes Compagnies, on vinyl LP format.

With their first demo, 2014’s Monstres et Merveilles, Grylle brought to life a new metal genre: simply, let’s call this medieval black metal. Not that the genre did not exist thematically or musically from a technical point of view; surely, plenty recordings past and present could be qualified as “medieval black metal,” but within quotation marks. But so far, by contrast, Grylle is the first and only to play black metal without the use of a single distorted guitar – only medieval instruments, truly making their Medieval Black Metal appellation authentic in every sense of the word.

Unfortunately, that first Grylle demo suffered from quiet sound and a messy production and mix, and while imposing the style, it lacked some rhythmics and variations. Although another demo came a year later, Les Nuits Sur Les Monts in 2015, all that is now in the past with the band’s modern-classic full-length, Les Grandes Compagnies, grandly receiving a new double-LP vinyl version courtesy of the Antiq stronghold.
Led by frontman Hyvermor, here with Les Grandes Compagnies do Grylle present a new kind of epic & raw medieval music mixed with black metal and rock. No more happy instruments, no more Renaissance Faires; only sadness and bitter anger remain, boiled with a passion and vision beyond compare. In a manner most idiosyncratic and devilishly anachronistic, the album’s lyrics are historically based in the present times but turned in a medieval way, mixing personal memories, experiences, and deeds. The imagery is not left aside, with a great gatefold made to remind one of the beginning of mass printing, and now including two vinyl-exclusive (and surprising!) bonus tracks. To say there is a totality here on this 75-minute monument is an understatement to end all understatements.

Hark, for Grylle‘s expanded-vinyl Les Grandes Compagnies is the first and FINAL word on medieval black metal!

Antiq is a label dedicated to the fully coherent concept of making music through sound, image, video, and attitude. They have been putting their entire existence into it since 2009. Over the years, Antiq have been identified as producers of not only perfectly coherent lyrics and themes through music, but also conceptual art and, of course, the manufacturing of beautiful objects. The label tries as much as it can to work with French creators, and if possible, with the smallest and most serious structures.
  In the meantime, stream the entirety of the original CD version Les Grandes Compagnies, released earlier this spring here:

NATTVERD sign with OSMOSE, set release date for new album

Norwegian black metallers Nattverd have inked a deal with Osmose Productions for the release of the band’s second album. Titled Styggdom, it is the follow-up to 2017’s debut album Vi Vet gud Er En Løgner and is set to hit the streets on the January, 31st 2020. Work on the album has been completed, and more details will follow. When Nattverd first announced their existence two years ago, they were absolutely adamant that they should be judged purely on their music, and not on any former, current, or future bands or releases the members may be involved with. And this is a philosophy Nattverd adhere to today, with the only additional information being a slight change in lineup, with original members Ormr still on vocals and guitars whilst Atyr concentrates on guitars and hands over bass duties to new member Sveinr, whilst former session drummer Serpentr takes on vocals and AntiChristian (Tsjuder et. al.) takes his place as session drummer. So what exactly does the music itself reveal about Nattverd? Most obvious is the fact that this is a band that plays black metal in the traditional way: cold and nasty and filled with fury and hate, with the occasional foray into more atmospheric and melodic realms, keeping the whole thing interesting and original. The other thing that stood out about Nattverd from the debut album was the confidence and musical skill demonstrated by its members, marking the individuals out as extremely experienced and talented musicians, and definitely not fledglings dipping their toes into the black metal pool for the first time. More Nattverd news – including cover art, tracklisting, and preorder for Styggdom – to be revealed shortly.
