Profanatica release second new track of forthcoming album!

Blasphemous black metal legion PROFANATICA are now premiering the second new track taken from their upcoming release ‘Rotting Incarnation of God’, which will hit the stores on October 11th, 2019. Listen to the new offering ‘Eucharist in Ruin’ here:
The band comments on the upcoming effort: “The only problem with the new Profanatica is that it eventually ends.”
The artwork of ‘Rotting Incarnation of God’ has been created by Paolo Girardi and can be viewed together with the track-list below.

1. Liturgy of Impurity (03:38)

Total: (37:37)
One of the first wave of American black metal bands, PROFANATICA have purveyed primeval blasphemy on nigh for three decades. ‘Rotting Incarnation of God,’ their latest album and first with Season of Mist, vomits forth a most vulgar strain of black metal ejaculate. Led by founder Paul Ledney, the trio desecrate everything sacred with a ferocious stream of chainsaw guitars and relentless battery. PROFANATICA walk as kings in the murky depths of the black metal scene, and ‘Rotting Incarnation of God’ cements their well-deserved reputation as one of the genre’s most wicked creations. Some music was meant to stay underground.

In 1990, Aragon Amori, Paul Ledney, and Brett Makowski departed INCANTATION due to artistic differences, leading to the birth of PROFANATICA. Influenced by such classic cults as VENOM, NECROVORE, SARCOFAGO, and BATHORY, the unholy trinity together had a passion to create raw and sacrilegious Black Metal. The band has since released four full-lengths and over a dozen demos, splits, and compilations. However, their story is not one without controversy as the masters for what was supposed to be their first full-length, initially titled ‘The Raping of the Virgin Mary,’ were unfortunately destroyed in the studio, although, there are conflicting stories about what really happened. The band parted ways until Ledney resurrected PROFANATICA with two new members in 2001. Despite dropping their first demo in 1990, their long overdue debut full-length, ‘Profanatitas de Domonatia,’ was released 17 years after the band’s conception.

Now, PROFANATICA’s latest chapter is nothing short of blasphemous perversions, sacrilegious incantations, and furious, unrelenting black metal. The kings of USBM are back to bless you with another assault of unholy hellfire.

Final order for IRON BONEHEAD / NUCLEAR WAR NOW!-curated NEVER SURRENDER fest announced – tickets on sale

NEVER SURRENDER FEST VOL. II

In 2009, Iron Bonehead  and Nuclear War Now! worked together to present the first NWN! Fest. The collaboration proved fruitful and the event was a success, so we continued the partnership, presenting four additional installments over the years. As Iron Bonehead ascended to become one of the preeminent underground labels, it began to make more sense to present bands from both Nuclear War Now! and Iron Bonehead, resulting in the Never Surrender Fest, the first edition of which took place this past November. We held all of the previous fests in Berlin because it was a centralized location, allowing us to bring more bands from Australia and Asia, while also presenting many North and South American bands to a European audience for the first time. Ten years later, it seems like the right moment to put together a fest in the United States, particularly, Oakland, California—the home of NWN! To that end, Iron Bonehead and NWN! are presenting the first-ever U.S. edition of the Never Surrender Fest, scheduled to take place on October 19th and 20th, 2019, in Oakland, CA, with a pre-show scheduled for October 18th, 2019. There will be 16 bands performing, with 8 bands chosen from each label. Full fest order follows, as well as poster art.

ORTHODOXY set release date for THE SINISTER FLAME debut, reveal first track – includes DOMAINS member

On October 31st internationally, The Sinister Flame is proud to present Orthodoxy‘s highly anticipated debut album, Novus Lux Dominus, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.
 
A so-far shadowy entity, Orthodoxy hail from Spain and formed sometime during the past decade. In 2015, the band’s first demo, Shaarimoth, burst forth from the womb, displaying a band fully, frighteningly formed. Indeed, this collective were no mere youngsters; the band’s founder hails from well-respected cult Domains, also a part of The Sinister Flame‘s very selective cabal. However, that demo was but a mere taste of the salacious, supernatural slime to follow…
 
At last, it arrives in full-length form, bearing the title Novus Lux Dominus. Howling from a black void, Orthodoxy arrogantly stride forward with far more focus and utterly gutted execution. No more but certainly no less, Novus Lux Dominus is all-caps DEATH METAL – pure and proud, dark and sinister, sidestepping all the muddled miscegenation of nowadays “death metal” – and duly delivers a nine-song/44-minute journey below the bowels of the Beyond. Magickal in every sense, Novus Lux Dominus weaves an alternately hypnotic and disruptive spell, beckoning the listener ever deeper into their devastating energies, only to flay both body and soul with a sadism borne of incomparable darkness. Thusly, Orthodoxy create a Metal of Death that’s haunting and crushing in equal measure. A cursory reading of some of the album’s component song titles – “Flame of Primordial Essence,” “Residues of an Obsolete Trance,” and “Voluptuous Death” among them – should more than spell out the righteous diabolism that awaits…
 
Strident, almost martial, Orthodoxy‘s Novus Lux Dominus heralds a new era of ageless darkness. Step forward to that New Era with the new track “Flame of Primordial Essence” here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Orthodoxy’s Novus Lux Dominus
1. Evocative Darkness
2. Key to Victory
3. Flame of Primordial Essence
4. Novus Lux Dominus
5. Eerie Presence
6. Voluptuous Death
7. Abyss of Aberration
8. Acausal Emanation
9. Residues of an Obsolete Trance

BYYRTH set release date for new IRON BONEHEAD mini-album, reveal first track

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions sets October 18th as the international release date for a special new mini-album from Byyrth, Cold Autumn Shadows, on CD and 12″ vinyl format. The release will coincide with this year’s edition of the Iron Bonehead / Nuclear War Now!-curated Never Surrender Fest, set to take place on October 19-20 in Oakland, California.

Following on from their critically acclaimed second album, Echoes From the Seven Caves of Blood, here on Cold Autumn Shadows do Byyrth continue to strike a new, frightening face for vampiric black metal. More effortlessly than before do they eschew the withering frivolity and frivolousness of most definitions of anything “vampiric” in regards to black metal: this Californian quartet kick in quickly with a ripped-raw and unrepentantly punkish attack. Blown-out and harshing everyone’s mellow, each iron-fisted anthem of theirs marches forward with absolute arrogance and an enviable swagger, but true to this mini-album’s title, Cold Autumn Shadows indeed imparts a newfound melancholy for Byyrth that’s equally potent.

Make no mistake, though: Byyrth‘s vampirism is an indomitable variety, the alpha to everyone else’s omega. And once again, they accomplish their sanguinary goals with an almost militant efficiency: Cold Autumn Shadows imparts dark medieval times in a compact 26 minutes, swirling the listener into a lysergic haze of ancient-days mysticism. Somehow more brittle but emboldened, this is the sound of Byyrth spreading black leathery wings of doom ever wider…

Feel that black-leather embrace with the new track “Parasitic Twin” here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Byyrth’s Cold Autumn Shadows
1. Infernal Abomination
2. Cold Autumn Shades
3. Parasitic Twin
4. Sanguitorium
5. Archaic Triumvirate
6. In the Hall of Sacrilege

IGNIVOMOUS begin European tour this week, DATES UPDATED – to release long-awaited new album on NUCLEAR WAR NOW!

Australian death metal warmasters Ignivomous begin a full European tour this week, starting at the Morbid Catacombs Fest and following with an appearance at Kill-Town Death Fest. The tour precludes the release of the band’s long-awaited third album, Hieroglossia, set for international release on November 15th via Nuclear War Now! Productions on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. Fully updated list of dates as well as event info & poster art are as follows:
30 August – Berlin, Germany – Zukunft Am Ostkreutz – Morbid Catacombs Fest [EVENT INFO HERE]
31 August – Warsaw, Poland – Poglos [EVENT INFO HERE]
1 September – Wroclaw, Poland – D.K Luksus [EVENT INFO HERE]
2 September – Dresden, Germany – Chemiefabrik
4 September – Hamburg, Germany – Bambi Galore (KTDF Warm Up) [EVENT INFO HERE]
5-8th September – Copenhagen, Denmark – Pumpehuset – Kill-Town Death Fest [EVENT INFO HERE]
9 September – Utrecht, Netherlands – dB´s [EVENT INFO HERE]
10 September – Deinze, Belgium – Elpee [EVENT INFO HERE]
11 September – Nantes, France – La Scène Michelet [EVENT INFO HERE]
12 September – Zurich, Switzerland – Ebrietas
13 September – Oberhausen, Germany – Helvete [EVENT INFO HERE]
15 September – Kiel, Germany – Alte Meierei [EVENT INFO HERE]
Seven long years after the release of their sophomore album, Contragenesis, Ignivomous return with their third full-length, Hieroglossia,unveiling eight tracks of organic, primal death metal — the kind the band has become synonymous with in its 13-year existence within the death metal underground.

Borne out of the members’ desire to see a resurgence of a heavier, more dissonant style of death metal, Ignivomous were among the first wave of bands to reignite interest in the genre in the first decade of this century. Hieroglossia preserves the core membership of the band present throughout its tenure — Sean Hinds (guitar), Chris Broadway (drums), and Jael Edwards (vocals) — and presents the recording debut of Lewis Fischer on guitar (Altars) and Chris Jordon (Inverloch, Eskhaton) on bass, both of whom have cemented the band’s live assault for the previous few years in a campaign of high-profile shows in their native Australia. This lineup in its current form has secured and built upon the band’s unrelentingly legacy, oozing raw, sinister death metal pushed a step further into the void, creating an album which synthesizes the band’s influences with a definitive and individual vision. While projecting a murky and atmospheric take on the death metal template, Heiroglossia avoids sacrificing the primacy of the riff for reverb-drenched formlessness or songwriting in favor of dissonance for its own sake.

Thematically, Heiroglossia continues Ignivomous’ investigation into topics of Philosophical pessimism, influenced by the works of Thomas Ligotti and E.M. Cioran, and Gnostic concepts of the fallen and hostile nature of the material world, presented throughout with a literary sensibility which should be accustomed to those familiar with their previous output.

Pending the general issue of the album on vinyl and CD via Nuclear War Now!, a strictly limited tour edition digipack version of the album will be available for purchase during the above-mentioned tour. In the meantime, hear the brand-new track “Thalassophobia” here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

6. Blood and Mercury
7. Gaunt Redemption Parasite
8. Vitriolic Swarm

BLACK METAL ASSASSIN DAGGER CULT SICARIUS FINISH TRACKING NEW ALBUM, GOD OF DEAD ROOTS

August 25, 2019 – Los Angeles, CA – Hailed by Metal Hammer as “USBM with serious forward thrust,” the nihilistic assassin dagger cult SICARIUS have finished recording their new album, “God Of Dead Roots,” the follow-up to their acclaimed 2017 full-length debut “Serenade of Slitting Throats.”   Due to be released in early 2020 via M-Theory Audio, “God Of Dead Roots” was once again produced by Mick Kenney (Anaal Nathrakh, Benediction, Empyrean Throne). It marks the recording debut of new guitarist Travis “Grimnir” Wilheim (Carnifex, As Blood Runs Black), who was hand-picked by SICARIUS’ founding guitarist Argyris to be his successor last year.   The band recently issued the following update: “The time has come! With a new arsenal of sonic terrorism, SICARIUS completes the recording process once again. Retaining and purifying our razor-sharp brand of chaotic black metal, this new album entitled ‘God of Dead Roots’ exceeds the standard set by our previous work. With the addition of new guitarist Grimnir, we continue to explore the violent aspects of first- and second-wave black metal with an increased fervor. All primary production responsibilities were performed by returning master Mick Kenney of horror-metal pioneers Anaal Nathrakh, assuring our relentless pursuit of auditory extremes.”   Founded five years ago, SICARIUS – meaning contract killer or assassin in Latin – draw influence from and pay homage to classic black metal bands, yet also inject a modern, high-velocity sense of immediacy into their bludgeoning and bloodthirsty extreme metal assault. The group has performed extensively in the Western U.S. alongside such genre heavyweights as Carach Angren, Uada, 1349, Goatwhore, Vader, Helheim, Sadistic Intent, Skeletal Remains, Wolvhammer, Sixes, Witch Casket and Tombs.   Experience SICARIUS live: 8/24 San Diego, CA – The Merrow w/ Mictlantecuhlti, Ruines Ov Abaddon 8/31 Lancaster, CA – American Legion w/ Master, Claustrofobia 9/21 Los Angeles, CA – Five Star Bar w/ Highland, Imperialist   “Theirs is a vision steeped in anger and aggression, a noxious brew of blackened thrash with a healthy pinch of genre-appropriate misanthropy to aid in fermentation.” – Invisible Oranges“Combining black metal with a violent immediacy and pairing it with their bloody, corpse-painted aesthetic, SICARIUS have found a style that sets them apart.” – Decibel   SICARIUS is: K. Karcass – Voice Merihim – Guitars Carnage – Bass Grimnir – Guitars

BLACK CURSE reveal first track from SEPULCHRAL VOICE debut, to play Killtown Deathfest

Today, Sepulchral Voice Records reveals the first track from Black Curse. Titled “Charnel Rift,” the track is the first to be revealed from Black Curse‘s striking debut album for Sepulchral Voice, Endless Wound, to be released later this autumn on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Hear Black Curse‘s “Charnel Rift” in its entirety here:
Black Curse is a cryptic expression of madness & possession – a vision of Hell, a revelry of torment. Inspired but not indebted to North American, South American, Finnish, and German masters, Black Curse finds its own voice amongst the chaos and ruin of those before. This is an expression with no regard for current trends or stylistic narrowness. 

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Black Curse will be making their international debut at this year’s Killtown Deathfest in Copenhagen, Denmark on September 6th. Release date for Endless Wound to be announced imminently.

NUPTA CADAVERA set release date for NUCLEAR WAR NOW! EP – includes members of Denmark’s Korpsånd Circle

Today, Nuclear War Now! Productions sets September 15th as the international release date for Nupta Cadavera‘s striking debut EP, Nupta Cadavera, on 7″ vinyl format.

With this debut EP, Nupta Cadavera make a defiant proclamation of purpose. The membership of the band is largely unknown, except that it is comprised of an international group of musicians, including members of the Korpsånd Circle in Denmark. Gaining wider recognition in the last few years, the many bands affiliated with Korpsånd and their Mayhem venue/rehearsal space have collectively broadened the spectrum of the Danish black metal scene. 

The two songs on this self-titled EP possess a distinctive approach, one that reflects a self-annihilating synthesis of sounds commingled. The band’s name draws upon this trait. “Nupta Cadavera,” Latin for “marriage with a corpse,” signifies the union of the living with the dead, the twin pillars of existence, entangled, symmetrically braided. The two tracks feature the gilded glint of guitars, metallic and bold, crashing together and coiled around the melodic thrust of the keyboards, the two elements at times clashing in a brassy display of internecine discordance. Nested within the compositional armature of the songs, the vocals, desperate and grim, break the tension. The dissonance is then sculpted in the service of songs that are punchy, succinct, and imminently listenable, immediately commanding repeat plays. 

It is difficult to reconcile the quality of these songs with the fact that this is the band’s debut recording, and one hopes more will soon follow. 

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

DENIAL OF GOD set release date for new OSMOSE / HELLS HEADBANGERS album – reveal cover, tracklisting

At long last, legendary black metallers Denial of God return with their LONG-awaited third album, The Hallow Mass! Set to be jointly released by Osmose Productions and Hells Headbangers on October 25th, The Hallow Mass was preceded by the short ‘n’ sweet The Shapeless Mass EP in June, which stoked the fires for yet more new recordings since 2012’s Death and the Beyond. To say that this album is massively anticipated and very long overdue would be quite the understatement! 

By now, Denial of God should need little introduction. Since that fateful year of 1991, the brothers Azter and Ustumallagam have perfected an idiosyncratic style of black metal that’s positively drenched in the supernatural and remains firm in their conviction of more classicist-styled songwriting. In fact, “black metal” might even be a misnomer; rather, BLACK HORROR METAL would be more accurate. 

This past June, Denial of God – utilizing the same lineup that’s been firm since 2005, with Azter and Ustumallagam joined by Galheim – released the critically acclaimed The Shapeless Mass EP, which served as a special teaser for the full-length The Hallow Mass. With that EP’s title track intended as a springboard for LP#3’s themes and aesthetics, Denial of God proceed to return in grand, GRAND form with The Hallow Mass, reminding those legions just why their brand of Black Horror Metal is so special whilst uncovering new, undead ground. 

Recorded once again at Berno Studio, where the previous two albums and several EPs were recorded, The Hallow Mass is indeed a MASSIVE experience, comprising seven epic-length tracks in an incredibly visual 63 minutes – or put more accurately, six central songs and one intermezzo, underlining Denial of God‘s undeniably cinematic approach to metal. Indeed, within that cinematic experience lays the band’s most varied and diverse album to date, and boldly do they begin with the 15-minute sorta-title track “Hallowmas,” which includes a compelling middle section consisting solely of keyboards – even more bold for Denial of God, as they generally end their albums with the longest track. Nevertheless, The Hallow Mass ends on a high note with the straightforward-yet-twisted “The Transylvanian Dream,” and in between those two tracks do the trio somewhat subvert their trademark melancholy: more aggressive overall than, say, the solemn Death and the Beyond, but dive deeper into the material and discover that same strong sense of melancholy, built upon their characteristic horror aesthetic and theatrical performance. Of course, backed by outstanding drumming from Galheim, frontman Ustumallagam gives another commanding performance which further underlines Denial of God‘s ever-unique nature: raw, blackened vocals that never become senseless screaming, but which actually make the lyrics relatively easy to understand and penetrate the listener’s consciousness. 

Topped off by stunningly atmospheric full-gatefold artwork by Markus Vesper, who delivered the unforgettable art for Death and the Beyond, Denial of God‘s The Hallow Mass is the timely return of true BLACK HORROR METAL! 

First track premiere to be revealed shortly. Preorder info can be found HERE at Hells Headbangers‘ Bandcamp as well as at Osmose‘s Bandcamp HERE.

The Great Old Ones reveal lyric video for ”Nyarlathotep”

French Lovecraftian black metal masters THE GREAT OLD ONES have revealed a lyric video for the song “Nyarlathotep”, taken from their upcoming record ‘Cosmicism’
The band comments: “We are proud to present you “Nyarlathotep”, a song based on the Lovecraft’s text with the same name. What better than a dark and heavy track to bring us in front of the “messenger, heart, and soul” of the Outer Gods, to sink into madness and the knowledge of occult secrets. Enjoy the encounter, be afraid for your sanity. He is the scourge, he is the wounds, he is the purge, who brings the final dooms”.
The artwork for ‘Cosmicism’ has been created by Jeff Grimal and can be viewed below, together with the tracklist.
Tracklist
1. Cosmic Depths (01:47)
2. The Omniscient (09:26)
3. Of Dementia (06:16)
4. Lost Carcosa (08:57)
5. A Thousand Young (11:44)
6. Dreams of the Nuclear Chaos (04:27)

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”  H.P. LOVECRAFT (1890-1937)
 
Channelling the spirit and literary heritage of author H.P. Lovecraft, French Atmospheric black metallers THE GREAT OLD ONES have returned with their most impressive work to date. ‘Cosmicism’ lures the listener deeper into darkness with intricate, beautiful and twisted melodies, ultimately encompassing them with madness.
                                                                                         
THE GREAT OLD ONES emerged in 2009 from the old parts of the ancient Aquitanian harbour city of Bordeaux, FRANCE, a city famed for its secrets and deep red wine. After releasing their first album, ‘Al Azif,’ the reactions of critics and fans were unanimously positive.  
 
The band followed up with their second full-length, ‘Tekeli-li,’ which garnered even higher praise. As a result, THE GREAT OLD ONES played a show at the acclaimed Roadburn festival, opened for BEHEMOTH in their homeland, played at Hellfest, and supported label mates SHINING and DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT.
 
The third full length, ‘EOD – A Tale of Dark Legacy,’ (2017) marked another big step in the band’s fast rising career. The five-piece took the road with the legendary GAAHLS WYRD and embarked on a successful European co-headline tour with label mates AUÐN from Iceland. THE GREAT OLD ONES also appeared on the billing of respected festivals, such as Brutal Assault and Eindhoven Metal Meeting, in front of a gigantic crowd of cultists.
 
Now, the French worshippers of Cthulhu reveal their fourth offering to the old ones. “Cosmicism” is a literary philosophy developed by H.P. Lovecraft. The idea behind “Coscmicism” is that humans are godless creatures who are totally insignificant in the grand scheme of our cosmic universe.
 
The production of this album was entrusted to Francis Caste (SINSAENUM, LOUDBLAST, SVART CROWN, REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMER, HANGMAN’S CHAIR) of the Studio Sainte-Marthe, who managed to capture the singular essence of THE GREAT OLD ONES.
 
The record is a true journey in the cold deep of space. Each song features a Lovecraftian entity and parallel the dark destiny of the protagonist who meets her and in turn, slowly succumbs to admiration and madness. Lyrics inspired by H.P. Lovecraft layered over haunting, melodic beauty result in a perfect match. Just listen and you will find out what awaits down there…
