REVENANT MARQUIS set release date for new INFERNA PROFUNDUS album, reveal first track

Today, Inferna Profundus Records sets January 20th, 2020 as the international release date for Revenant Marquis’ highly anticipated fourth album, Youth in Ribbons, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hailing from the United Kingdom, Revenant Marquis is a mysterious yet incredibly prolific entity. Having just revealed its first public work in 2018, the aptly titled Pitiless Black Emphasis album, two more full-lengths quickly followed, Polterngyst and Anti Universal Compassion, both in 2019. This trifecta of albums displayed a restless ghoul firmly in the grips of the rawest black metal possession, but dispensing with terror and truth with almost preternatural ease. Now making a blood pact with Inferna Profundus, Revenant Marquis adds to that canon of foulness with Youth in Ribbons.

Challenging and defiant, once more does Revenant Marquis return from the sequestered black waters of Wales with Youth in Ribbons: a long-play collection of raw black metal necromancy that serves to bring the tortured, the forgotten, and the abused back from the choking abyss. There is no space for hope nor light in this assembly of rituals, as the listener must break bread with the maligned forces that lurk eternally waiting for granted passage. This is not music, but rather a covenant between the listener and the spectral realm.

As such, riffs seemingly slice the listener’s skin yet retain an elusive, almost-ethereal quality. There is power and propulsion here, too, but never does it feel like rote “violence” for its own sake; rather, any physicality or momentum is upended into a hypnotic disconnect that keeps that listener enthralled – literally, in thrall to Revenant Marquis’ diabolic conjurations. The title itself, Youth in Ribbons, is quite telling of the virtual deflowering at hand here, debasing the listener with ever-apparent ‘n’ arrogant disregard for comfort. A suffocating netherworld, beckoning ever so tantalizingly…indeed, “The Incorporeal Hallways.”

UK black metal is continually being renewed, continually cycling through new generations of devotees – and pretenders. Revenant Marquis cares not for contemporaries, neither domestically nor abroad; only the experience of black metal’s most sacred sensations matter. With Youth in Ribbons, figuratively and again literally, Revenant Marquis dares you to discover the profound and the profane in that experience.

Dare with the brand-new track “Ephebiphobia” here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

HAVOHEJ stream long-awaited new HELLS HEADBANGERS album

Today, legendary iconoclast Havohej stream its long-awaited third album, Table of Uncreation. Set for international release on November 15th via Hells Headbangers, hear Havohej‘s Table of Uncreation in its entirety HERE:
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.

DIE KUNST DER FINSTERNIS stream new LAMECH / AMOR FATI album

Today, horror metallers Die Kunst der Finsternis stream the entirety of their highly anticipated third album, Revenant in a Phantom World (Queen of Owls Addendum), here:
Vampiric in singleminded intent, draped in black shining leather, here does Die Kunst der Finsternis continue its inexorable ascent, its glorious rebirth into more muscular and dynamic directions. Forever a forgotten soul lost in space and time, Revenant in a Phantom World (Queen of Owls Addendum) is experimentation and expressionism writ large, dark poetry of the night rendered in its most robust form. Set for international release on October 31st via Lamech Records in conspiracy with Amor Fati Productions, hear Die Kunst der Finsternis‘ Revenant in a Phantom World (Queen of Owls Addendum) in its above.

Die Kunst der Finsternis was formed as a solo project in the beginning of 2007 in Stockholm, Sweden with Deacon D. (AKA Schattenriss) as the sick mind behind it; the man has a prolific recording history, within the well-respected Hetroertzen and without. The first demo under the Die Kunst der Finsternis banner, tellingly titled Alter Schwarz Metall, was recorded at home during March 2007, in Stockholm, Sweden and given away as a gift exclusively to close friends and peers. A couple of years later, the Swedish occult label SDP distributed a limited stock of 66 handmade CDs of the demo.

In 2010, Deacon D. creates the songs and lyrics for the first Die Kunst der Finsternis full-length, henceforth called Das Geheimnis des Vampirs, with nine tracks of dark and sickening Metal of Death with gothic horror parts as interludes, which also includes the re-recorded songs from the demo. The obsession with death and the horrors of the crypt literally takes Die Kunst der Finsternis to the grave and keep it buried (but not forgotten) for the coming years.

In 2017, an exhumation is performed and new life is blown into the old rotten body of Die Kunst der Finsternis, somehow bringing it “back to life” and giving it the breath to create all the pieces for the Queen of Owls album. An Addendum of Queen of Owls is added later on, putting another gravestone in the cemetery of the odd arts. The band’s third full-length, it bears the title Revenant in a Phantom World (Queen of Owls Addendum) and once again, louder and more powerfully than ever, proclaims that Die Kunst Der Finsternis performs Horror Metal exclusively!

NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION set release date for new SUN & MOON album

Today, Sun & Moon Records sets November 25th as the international release date for Nocturnal Depression‘s highly anticipated ninth album, Tides of Despair, on digipack CD format.

French masters of nostalgic, depressive black metal, Nocturnal Depression return with their latest opus, the ever-aptly-titled Tides of Despair. A special occasion to say the very least, 2019 sees the return of Herr Suizid, founding member of the band who left in 2012, rejoining with fellow founder Lord Lokhraed. As a result, Tides of Despair has all the elements which make Nocturnal Depression stand out from all the thousands of cliche DSBM pretenders, many of whom were inspired by the band’s pioneering early works in the mid-2000s: immediately memorable riffs, achingly melodic leads, dramatic tension, and altogether dynamic songwriting.
  Surprisingly, Tides of Despair begins in quite a positive manner – but deceptively so, as Nocturnal Depression soon embark on a gloomy, atmospheric journey, guiding the listener onward into an exhaustingly emotional turmoil. Claustrophobic somberness comes to a climax on the perfectly titled “Living in a Mass Grave,” forlorn acoustic moments abound, despair and depression suitably mark songs like “Solitude and Despair Again” and “Farewell Letter,” epic gloom in “Muse of Suicide,” and all concluding with the bleak and melancholic “Reveries.” Throughout, the surprises continue with the integration of French horn, pianos, chimes, and bells, with a multitude of guests from different bands (Psychonaut 4, Sarkrista, Tulpa, Darkend, Selvans) making the album even more refreshing.   Completed by mixing & mastering courtesy of Alessandro “Algol” Comerio from Forgotten Tomb/Hiems, Nocturnal Depression prove with Tides of Despair that both the past is alive and the future is bleak!

First track premiere to be revealed shortly. Preorder info can be found HERE.

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

BLACK BLOOD INVOCATION reveal new lyric video from upcoming split album with IMPRECATION

Today, Greek black/death upstarts Black Blood Invocation reveal a new lyric video for “Evocation of the Alla Xul.” The track hails from the band’s highly anticipated split album with America’s Imprecation, Diabolical Flames of the Ascended Plague, set for international release on December 6th via Helter Skelter Productions (distributed & marketed by Regain Records). See & hear Black Blood Invocation‘s “Evocation of the Alla Xul” lyric video in its entirety here:
Truly titled, Diabolical Flames of the Ascended Plague brings together two of the most bestial death metal cults of the modern era. Imprecation, of course, fought the good fight for most of the ‘90s, crafting a handful of now-classic EPs and demos that displayed their vision as being decades ahead of the game. Reinvigorated in 2009, Imprecation have only continued to get better and better, belying their veteran status as band: most their age wimp out, but not these Satanic Texas warlords! Here, they deliver two exclusive tracks (plus mystical outro) which hammer and slice, doom and dredge, whipping forth a maniacal warlust that’s as black and bewitching as it comes. Of especial note is a rerecording of the 1994 track “Emperor of Infernal Spirits,” which features guest vocals by Seth Decay of Ritual Decay and Morbus 666.
Not to be outdone, Black Blood Invocation likewise deliver three exclusive tracks (plus atmosphere-setting intro) that continue the malevolent momentum created by their preceding EP and demo. As such, their militantly pulsing blackgrind purports a uniquely Greek aspect, goatly and ominous and drawing down the moon. While influences of Archgoat and VON were indeed clear before, now are the duo setting upon more individualist ground, tantalizing the devout for their inevitable full-length debut.

With always classic artwork courtesy of the master Chris Moyen, Diabolical Flames of the Ascended Plague is a gutsfucking, middle-fingered statement of intent from the allied forces of Imprecation and Black Blood Invocation! In the meantime, see & hear Black Blood Invocation‘s “Evocation of the Alla Xul” lyric video HERE at Helter Skelter‘s official YouTube channel. Also hear Imprecation‘s previously revealed “Swine Full of Maggots” HERE at Helter Skelter‘s Bandcamp, where all three formats can be preordered.
Aforementioned cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Diabolical Flames of the Ascended Plague 1. A World Consumed in Fire
2. Swine Full of Maggots
3. Emperor of Infernal Spirits
4. Sigil of Lucifer
5. Congregation of Profane Ascension
6. Evocation of the Alla Xul
7. The Burning Effigy of Moloch
8. Atazoth Nexion

NEBULAR CARCOMA to release GAUA’s debut mini-album on tape

Today, Nebular Carcoma sets November 15th as the international release date for Gaua‘s striking debut mini-album, Feeble Psychotic Vortex, on cassette tape format.

Originally released last year on CD and LP by Portugal’s elite Altare Productions, Gaua‘s Feeble Psychotic Vortex was a startling first fuller-length strike from this still-young Spanish entity. Ever aptly titled, the 37-minute Feeble Psychotic Vortex indeed sends the listener into a vortex of wild, wounded emotion and raw, red hatred, all transposed onto the grimmest black metal. Both malevolent in its marching melodicism and favorably punkish in its fury, each of these four epic-length tracks sees Gaua bewitching with hypnotic ease, all culminating in a massive ‘n’ mesmerizing cover of Vlad Tepes’ classic “Drink the Poetry of the Celtic Disciple,” extending that song’s malodorous ecstasy to a staggering 14 minutes.

Naturally, that choice of cover should say more than enough about Gaua‘s aims and intentions. Do not enter the Feeble Psychotic Vortex lightly!

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

BROKEN SPIRIT to have demo collection released on vinyl by GOATOWAREX

On December 1st internationally, Goatowarex is proud to present Broken Spirit‘s Demo Collections 2012-2017 on double-LP vinyl format. Originally released on CD in 2018 by Portugal’s elite Black Gangrene, this vinyl version will feature laser-etched artwork on Side D, the first of such type of release done by Goatowarex. As per the band’s wishes, it shall be limited to 160 copies, with newly remastered sound.

Emblematic of the newer breed of black metal coursing through the deepest, darkest veins of the underground, Australia’s Broken Spirit is unflinching misery & misanthropy incarnate. Perfectly monikered, Broken Spirit is but another face of prolific enigma B.H., who counts among his current endeavors Drohtnung, Grave Worship, Mors De Corpus, and Pestis Cultus. But, put more directly, indeed is Broken Spirit his most personal and most challenging face.

Broken Spirit‘s first public recording came with Promo 2013, a four-song fucking of your soul: blown-out but with a nuanced-if-peculiar approach, here was triumphantly turgid black metal that dared you to enjoy it. Picking up the pace, both release-wise and more so tempo-wise, was the three-song Rotting in Void a year later, with its disturbingly clanging riffs creating an unsettling dislocation of body and soul. Thereafter, with 2015’s Solò otro cerdó and successive, super-limited split tapes with the considerable likes of Obskuritatem and Drohtnung did Broken Spirit‘s sonics become more ghostly, hovering like a forever-lost spectre – truly, a Broken Spirit – but charging forward into a vortextural vacuum with self-inflicted violence, B.H. truly matching form with content.

It is with this history, this complementary alternate life to Broken Spirit‘s cult Vivid Dreaming debut LP (which will receive the Goatowarex vinyl treatment in the coming year) with Portugal’s likewise-elite Altare Productions, that Goatowarex wishes to preserve for posterity on black vinyl, serving as a reverberating curse before the next penultimate chapter begins…or ends.

The Great Old Ones stream entire new album ‘Cosmicism’

Lovecraftian black metal band THE GREAT OLD ONES have teamed up withus for the premiere of their new album ‘Cosmicism’. The anticipated fourth album of the French band will be released tomorrow, Friday October 25 via Season of Mist.
Listen to ‘Cosmicism’ here:
The band comments: “It is now time to unveil this journey into the cosmos. We are proud to present “Cosmicism”, our new album, in its entirety. Live the fate of protagonists meeting the unspeakable Lovecraftian creatures, and let yourself be caught by the inexorable attraction of the black hole.”
Press quotes on ‘Cosmicism’

Grimm Gent (BE):   “The Great Old Ones‘ latest album by the French black metal outfit is a milestone in the band’s discography. ‘Cosmicism‘ is a journey into deep dark space. This is a supreme cosmic black metal record of the highest quality. Once again they have released a splendid album in the modern age of black metal!” 9.6/10

Lords of Metal (NL): “This is pure classe”! 9/10

  Ave Noctum (UK): “This is without a doubt TGOO’s best release since ‘Al Azif’ – they have not only captured the eldritch evil of their first album, but expanded upon it. There’s an urgency to ‘Cosmicism’ that simply wasn’t present on any of their previous releases and it makes for an album that keeps its listeners constantly on their toes, never knowing what to expect.” 8/10  

The Black Planet (UK): “Expect something that sounds epic, immensely aggressive and intensely chaotic, enfolding and disruptive. Expect greatness. Expect The Great Old Ones.” 9/10

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…

DESTRÖYER 666 continue to do what they are best at: kicking ass and hammering out heavy metal that is slamming straight into the face. No compromise, no sell out, no bullshit!

The Australians fill the gap between albums with the hard-hitting EP, ‘Call of the Wild’ that comes with a distinct taste of an unrepentantly classic flavour.

DESTRÖYER 666 don’t do whiny nostalgia but simply stick to their old school roots, which are reaching straight down into the golden age of metal while allowing themselves to sound fresh and remain relevant.

The band originally started out as a solo project of BESTIAL WARLUST guitarist KK in Australia in 1994. As early as with debut album ‘Unchain the Wolves’ (1997),  fast-tracked towards international acclaim. The even stronger second full-length, ‘Phoenix Rising’ (2000) had the Australians relocating to Europe to be able to satisfy the soaring demand for touring and festival shows. After a round of line-up changes, third full length ‘Cold Steel… For an Iron Age’ (2002) cemented the band’s excellent reputation. After a hiatus caused among other issues by disenchantment with the business, DESTRÖYER 666 returned with ‘Defiance’ in 2009 and followed up on this success with the rough and gritty ‘Wildfire’ seven years later that saw them touring and performing at all the relevant metal festivals worldwide on a regular basis again.

‘Call of the Wild’ comes with three fresh tracks and the revisited classic, “Trialed by Fire”, which was first published on ‘Terror Abraxas’ (2003). Now come and get yours!
