Spain’s INTOLERANCE set release date for MEMENTO MORI debut, reveal first track

In their endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage death metal, Memento Mori in conspiracy with Fucking Kill Records and Godz ov War Productions are proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Spain’s Intolerance, Dark Paths of Humanity: Memento Mori will release the CD version on April 25th, Godz ov War will release the tape version on May 13th, and the vinyl version will follow later from Fucking Kill.

The death metal mongrels collectively known as Intolerance hail from Zaragoza, the same city that Ataraxy are natives of. Spawned back in 2015, this quartet’s intent is to pay homage to timeless death metal and the fetid stench that exuded from the malicious tones of the bands that populated the scene and helped define the genre back in the late ’80s and the early ’90s. Nothing fancy or wimpy here: only demise and putrefaction to be found when you creep in Intolerance‘s mortuary.

After a demo in 2016 and an EP in 2020, now you can creep deepest into Intolerance‘s mortuary with their full-length debut, Dark Paths of Humanity. Just as they did on their preceding records, with Dark Paths of Humanity do Intolerance honor the old ways of death metal, and proceed to add their own gutted & grimy personality to it. No more but definitely no less, Dark Paths of Humanity is a DEATH METAL record for death metal maniacs, by death metal maniacs. But Intolerance‘s subtly nuanced and surprisingly dynamic blend of such synthesizes the best elements of classic Bolt Thrower, Grave, Asphyx, Morgoth, Entombed, Convulse, Obituary, and Unleashed. Think 1991 and you’re in their wheelhouse – but then you’ll be utterly CRUSHED by their tank-tread of a sound, world-eating and wondrously so. Again, nothing fancy or wimpy here!

Completed by cover art courtesy of CL Artworks and featuring devastatingly era-authentic production, with mastering by Javier Felez at Moontower Studios, Intolerance dredges up the oldest, richest dirt with their Dark Paths of Humanity!

Start rooting among that dirt with the brand-new track “Embodiment of Chaos here:

Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Intolerance (Spain)’s Dark Paths of Humanity
1. Embodiment of Chaos
2. Death Before Slavery
3. Beyond the Axis of Truth

5. Echoes from the Past

8. Dark Paths of Humanity

MISTCAVERN set release date for IRON BONEHEAD debut mini-album, reveal first track

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces April 15th as the international release date for Mistcavern‘s highly anticipated debut mini-album, Into Twilight, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.

Mistcavern are a quartet hailing from Hungary, formed in 2019. Not long after forming, the band recorded their debut demo, Winds of Misery, which was initially self-released in super-limited quantities but then made widely available by Iron Bonehead at the dawn of 2020. Now, two years later, Mistcavern strike with their most assured work yet, making good on the plentiful promise displayed on Winds of Misery.

As it was in the beginning and as it is now, Mistcavern unabashedly pick up the torch left behind by the second-wave Nordic acts with their works of pure and otherworldly atmospheres in the first half of the 1990s. In many ways, the resultant Into Twilight is 26 minutes of veritable time-warp: one can verily be transported to dark medieval times, at the dawn of a dying sun, feeling an ærie descent. And for those still dealing with the loss & curse of reverence, whether there at the start of those long-flickering fires or later generations who hear the call down time immemorial, Mistcavern will surely satisfy all dark desires. But taken another way, Into Twilight reveals its own ancient imagination. Far from mere “retro” replication or insincere genre exercise before jettisoning for some other fickle fancy, this four-piece deeply understand the richly mystical vibrations beneath those hallowed tomes of yore, building on the duality of both concealed and boundless imagery, showcasing scenes buried in thick fog, far from the ordure of man and deep in nature’s embrace while also glorifying of the infinite emptiness and the longing for the End of All.

And paradoxically, with Into Twilight will one find a new beginning. Roam the new hinterlands of old with Mistcavern, and raise the torches high!

Begin roaming with the brand-new track “Dissolving in Infinite Despair” here:

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Mistcavern’s Into Twilight
1. Towards the Eclipse [6:54]
2. The Shielding Twilight [5:50]
3. To the Starless Domain [6:13]
4. Dissolving in Infinite Despair [6:44]

Dark Buddha Rising – new video and single “Sunyaga”

Dark Buddha Rising unveil their seventh album, Mathreyata on Friday the 13th of November 2020 via Svart Records. 

Video for first single “Sunyaga” revealed. Video by Dehn Sora:

Finnish “dark underlords of psychedelic drone” Dark Buddha Rising return with their heaviest and darkest record yet.

V. Ajomo from Dark Buddha Rising states:

“Mathreyata follows the visions that were received from Inversum’s implosion and is the accession of what we invoked with the II EP. Before completing the great circle, all cycles must be dissolved. In the end we are standing at the edge of the abyss with all our previous work as weights, impatient to dive in. We recorded the basis of the album just before the Waste of Space Orchestra project began and mostly because of that, it took a few years to get it finished. Finally the material that we have performed live for several years can be experienced as a recorded album.”

Dark Buddha Rising’s abyssic and meditative sonic-void has been opening up over the last 10 years to swallow more and more devotees in their wake. Since their inception in 2007, with their first four albums being highly-coveted, sold-out private pressings, to subsequent Svart Records reissues, to their burgeoning fifth album Dakhmandal, Dark Buddha Rising have been shining like a black diamond for those that go mining for the real thing. Embraced into Neurosis’ Neurot Records fraternity, with 2015’s critically acclaimed sixth album Inversum, Tampere-based psychonauts, Dark Buddha Rising have captivated the collective consciousness of the heavy underground and achieved cult-legend status.

2019’s climactic and highly praised Waste Of Space Orchestra collaboration with local kindred spirits Oranssi Pazuzu at Roadburn Festival, put Dark Buddha Rising’s Wastement home studio: “the asylum of eternal feedback,” firmly on the International music world map and into the hearts of the pitch-black psych-rock underworld. Gathering a throng of newly devoted adherents who worship at the altar of their churning vortex, Dark Buddha Rising’s live shows are a transformative experience that are religiously revered by audiences across Europe, with Invisible Oranges calling their performance “brain melting.”

Metal Hammer describe Dark Buddha Rising’s music as “a shamanic voice chanting before a tumultuous void, soon all encompassed by a yawning riff chasm, contorted by keys, chants, rants and abyssal atmospherics,” and to put words into what Dark Buddha Rising does to the listening audience is to describe the band surrendering fully to the intuition and primal instincts as altered states of mind.

Prepare your mind and body for an initiation into the dark arts of Mathreyata on Friday the 13th of November 2020. Dark Buddha Rising have channeled a work for dark spirits and those who seek to travel beyond the unknown. 

Mathreyata features inlay artwork by Adam Burke.

First single “Sunyaga” drops on the 9th of October 2020. Mathreyata album on Friday the 13th of November 2020.

CENOTAFIO to release second album on vinyl via BLOOD HARVEST – streaming now

Today, Blood Harvest Records sets September 11th as the international release date for Cenotafio‘s striking second album, Larvae Tedeum Teratos, on vinyl LP format.

Originally released in 2019 on CD and cassette, Larvae Tedeum Teratos saw Cenotafio cement their position as one of Chile’s best new-breed black/death bands – no mean feet, given the rich history of Chilean underground metal and its ever-thriving scene that’s arguably even stronger today. Then again, the duo comprising Cenotafio are no mere newcomers, as both members have been playing in a number of hordes for over a decade, but both together in the esteemed Invehertex…

Nevertheless, as Cenotafio, the duo of drummer/vocalist Patricio Kusnir and guitarist/bassist/vocalist Daniel Hermosilla have created a considerable canon in just five years together. A demo and a couple singles introduced the band initially, but it was 2017’s La fatídica excrecencia de la subtierra debut album which put Cenotafio‘s supremely sepulchral ways on the international metal map. Amazingly, the duo topped that feat with the follow-up Larvae Tedeum Teratos. A more concise but somehow simultaneously more sprawling work, Cenotafio‘s second album spread tendrils of terror and tension across the helpless listener and refused to relent its dread hold. Effortlessly shifting between ripped ‘n’ roiling speed and drowning-in-the-deep doom, Larvae Tedeum Teratos created a horrific world, its ceaselessly humid and punishingly physical soundfield wielded as almost an instrument onto itself. Blackened death metal, deathened black metal, blackdeathdoom, whatever you want to call it: Cenotafio truly arrived with this album.

Fans of the band since the beginning, Blood Harvest is honored to be finally unleashing Cenotafio‘s Larvae Tedeum Teratos on the format it so deserves – vinyl!

In the meantime, stream the album in its entirety here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows
Tracklisting for Cenotafio’s Larvae Tedeum Teratos 1. La Apoptosis [10:50]
2. El Martirio [8:25]
3. La Sentencia Y La Plaga [7:20]
4. Maleficae [10:35]​

DARKENED set release date for EDGED CIRCLE debut album, reveal first track – features members of GRAVE, MEMORIAM, A CANOROUS QUINTET, EXCRUCIATE+++

Today, Edged Circle Productions announces September 11th as the international release date for the highly anticipated debut album of pan-international quintet Darkened, Kingdom of Decay.

It was but the summer of 2019 when Darkened burst onto the international stage with their debut EP for Edged Circle, Into the Blackness. Although an otherwise-brand-new entity at the time, Darkened boasted a wealth of experience in the death metal underground, comprising drummer Andy Whale (ex-Bolt Thrower / Memoriam), bassist Daryl Kahan (ex-Disma / Funebrarum), vocalist Gord Olson (Ye Goat-Herd Gods / Demisery), and guitarists Linus Nirbrant (A Canorous Quintet / This Ending) and Hempa Brynolfsson (Excruciate / Ordo Inferus). As such, the band’s opening salvo was truly a sum of all its not-inconsiderable parts: all-caps DEATH METAL of a cool and cruising and above all CRUSHING aspect. Unsurprisingly, Into the Blackness garnered widespread acclaim, and heightened anticipation for the band’s inevitable first full-length.

At last, it arrives under the ominous title Kingdom of Decay. Darkened here have undergone a slight lineup shift, with Kahan departing as bassist and Tobias Cristiansson (Grave / ex-Dismember) taking his place – another underground veteran whose presence is perfect for the band’s increasingly confident crush. Everything on Kingdom of Decay is an intensification of that short-but-sweet debut EP: the riffs more patient but punishing, the doom darker and doled out more effectively, the songs more world-eating whilst effectively exploring a greater wealth of dynamics and, it must be said, atmosphere. Elsewhere, the winning formula of Into the Blackness remains largely unchanged – the stately, steely pulse of later Bolt Thrower or the subsequent Memoriam dusted with the classy melodicism of A Canorous Quintet and successors This Ending, but all done with a touch that’s somewhere between comfortably familiar and subtly unique – and you can now also add a touch of the tank-like onslaught of prime Grave, with everything given a gleaming CRUSH courtesy of the mixing by Tobbe Sillman (General Surgery) and mastered by the one and only Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity) in the famous Unisound Studio in Sweden. This is what debut-album dreams are made of…or nightmares!

Graced with unforgettably austere cover artwork courtesy of Juanjo Castellano Rosado (Unleashed, The Black Dalhia Murder, Gates of Ishtar), Darkened‘s Kingdom of Decay is guaranteed to be one of THE death metal albums of the year. DEATH METAL for death metal maniacs, by death metal maniacs!

Begin hearing for yourself with the brand-new track “The Burning” here:

LUNAR APPARITIONS to release BAŠMU’s second album on CD – features members of FLEŠŠ+++

Today, Lunar Apparitions, a division of Nebular Carcoma, announces August 6th as the international release date for Bašmu‘s haunting second album, VVitchblood, on CD format.

Bašmu is the sole domain of the mysterious Xülthysy, who’s also insanely prolific across other such projects as Flešš – with whom LUNAR APPARITIONS reissued their debut album and demo on separate A5 digipack editions last year – Chaoist, Drenglyndr, and Girtablullû. Although all but Chaoist are some iteration of black metal, with Bašmu does Xülthysy explore the shimmering shadowself of the most rotten, mildewed depths of the ancient ’90s black metal underground – back when traditional witchcraft, vampirism, blood rites, self-hatred, and generally antisocial behavior were all mandatory. Taken another way, if Flešš is comparable to Belkètre, then Bašmu most definitely would be comparable to Moëvöt.

Indeed, it’s not uncharitable to liken Xülthysy to the works of Vordb Dréagvor Uèzréèvb, the insanely prolific deviant of France’s infamous Black Legions. As such, Bašmu mines equally chilling – and equally stratifying – territory, travelling from dungeonic violence up above to lost-in-the-forest ambience. Originally released in 2017 but only on cassette tape, VVitchblood arguably plunged deepest into this treacherous terrain and most definitely with the most unorthodoxy. Undeniably raw, there exists a concertedly detailed soundfield utilizing, paradoxically, the sparsest palette. Each note is where it needs to be, hovering and anguished and unearthly, and others comes in when ready and melt into further reverberations. Xülthysy spares no weapon in his quest for medieval ruination and rancor; FX pedals are applied liberally to guitars and vocals, malforming both into new (and more horrifying) manifestations, while the synth/organ work here will unnerve even the steeliest of constitutions. VVitchblood undoubtedly bears strong resemblance to black metal “back in the day,” but its atonal ‘n’ atagonistic aspect puts it into a realm all its own…and one perpendicular (rather than parallel) to other nowadays raw black metal.

Bašmu is Xülthysy’s muse alone, and we can only guess at what haunts his soul. Lunar Apparitions is honored to resurrect VVitchblood from those dungeonic depths and ruin your day with its long-overdue CD release.

In the meantime, hear the track “The Crooked Wand of the Ophidian Craft” here:

Cover and tracklisting as follows:

Tracklisting for Bašmu’s VVitchblood 1. VVitchblood
2. Majestic Serpentine Temples
3. Crimson Eyes of Djinn

CAEDES CRUENTA to reissue second album thru HELTER SKELTER on vinyl and tape, preparing third album

Today, Helter Skelter Productions (distributed & marketed by Regain Records) sets July 16th as the international release date for Caedes Cruenta’s classic second album, Ερείπια Ψυχών, on vinyl LP and cassette tape formats.

Formed in 2003, Caedes Cruenta are the foremost torchbearers for the classic Greek black metal sound. For them, the early Hellenic flame of the “Big Three” – Rotting Christ, Varathron, and Necromantia – never died, nor did the contemporaneous flames of Septic Flesh, Thou Art Lord, Kawir, Zemial, and Nightfall among others. “Greek black metal” may have changed shapes and styles over the past 30 years, but for the members of Caedes Cruenta, the ancient days of the early ‘90s burns stronger than ever.

Caedes Cruenta indeed made it their mission to uphold this noble sound, and it arguably reached its perfect on their second album, Ερείπια Ψυχών, originally released at the end of 2014. Whereas their Σκιές δαιμόνων debut album from four years previous took an altogether more atmospheric route, here Caedes Cruenta expanded from a duo to a quartet, and immediately is that classic Greek physicality felt: pulsing and patient but portending ominousness and metallic might, Ερείπια Ψυχών is the surging, Alpha sound of ancient brimstone made forever vital and virile. Bass-heavy in its infinitely potent throb and tastefully embellished with subtle layers of mystical synth, one could be forgiven for thinking Caedes Cruenta transported the listener back in time, so authentic and invigorating is its Hellenic classicism.

Thus, Helter Skelter is proud to make Ερείπια Ψυχών available again on vinyl and cassette. This reissue comes in lieu of Caedes Cruenta‘s forthcoming third album, Of Ritual Necrophagia and Mysterious Ghoul Cults, which is currently being recorded and will be released by Helter Skelter in late 2020 / early 2021.

In the meantime, stream Ερείπια Ψυχών in its entirety here:
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Caedes Cruenta’s Ερείπια Ψυχών 1. Ροκανίζουσιν κουκία: Το θανατικό (Intro)

ÚLFARR set release date for new PURITY THROUGH FIRE album, reveal first track

Today, Purity Through Fire sets October 31st as the international release date for Úlfarr‘s highly anticipated debut album, Hate & Terror – The Rise Of Pure Evil, on regular jewelcase CD and A5 digipack limited to 100 copies.

Since 2011, Úlfarr have stood for uncompromising, antisocial UK black metal – or, under their own banner of Cumbrian Black Metal. Helmed by Dominus, AKA Hrafn, who counts the equally prolific Thy Dying Light amongst his activities, Úlfarr released a couple demos its first few years and then a split album with comrades Hrafnblóð. Another demo followed in 2014, followed by, uniquely, two live albums.

Time has festered for five years as well as Hrafn’s hate, and at last comes Hate & Terror – The Rise Of Pure Evil, Úlfarr‘s debut album. Although released earlier by the cult Worship Tapes in an extremely limited edition, the fire burning through Úlfarr‘s first full-length statement has lost none of its potency. In fact, those flames are even more devouring: unapologetically traditional black metal in the vein of classic Craft, Darkthrone, Mayhem, One Head One Tail, and Death Cult. As ever, Úlfarr are inspired by the desolate landscapes of their homeland, the unrelenting dismal climate, and a shared disdain towards humanity in the overpopulated wastelands of modern Britain. You don’t so much as listen to this album as FEEL it – and it hates you, too.

DIY as always, Hate & Terror – The Rise Of Pure Evil was recorded entirely by Dominus, with drums programmed by Skoth and mixing & mastering by Azrael. No hope, and NO CONTACT! Úlfarr plays CUMBRIAN BLACK METAL exclusively!

Begin feeling that hate & terror with the new track “Hate & Terror – The Rise of Pure Evil – Part I” here:

Since rising to prominence with his first band Trelldom, legendary singer, front man, artist and composer, Gaahl, has been one of Norway’s most talked about and respected extreme metal musicians. His work with Trelldom, Gorgoroth and God Seed has been widely regarded as some of the best the black metal scene has had to offer.

Gaahls passion and dedication to his art has earned him followers far and beyond the realms of the metal community, becoming a household name in the art scene and a he has become a well-respected alternative thinker.

In 2015 the charismatic singer assembled some of Norway’s finest metal musicians under the new moniker Gaahls WYRD. The band consisted of Ole Walaunet (The Batallion, God Seed, Grimfist), Frode Kilvik (Krakow, Aeternus), Sir (Trelldom, Djerv, God Seed) and Bård Kolstad (Leprous, Borknagar).

The band’s first show was an appearance at the one-off festival BlekkMetal, held in Bergen, Norway the same year. The show was recorded for the live EP “Nov. 15”, released by the band in 2017. The EP was celebrated during the bands two European runs “Vardøger 2017” and “Vardøger” 2018. Bård Kolstad was replaced by Kevin Kvåle (Horizon Ablaze) in the 2nd half of 2017 and Kårstad stepped out of the band after the first leg of the “Vardøger” tour.

In mid 2018 the band teamed up with producer Iver Sandøy (Enslaved, Emmerhoff & the Melancholy Babies) to record their first full-length album “GastiR – Ghosts Invited”, set to be released by Season of Mist (World) and Indie Recordings (Norway) on May 31st.  

The highly anticipated debut album from Gaahls WYRD will see the band chart territories within the extreme metal genre no one has ever walked before.
