The black metal crusaders in GOAT TORMENT return with ‘Forked Tongues,’ their first new album/release in over 6 years. A blast furnace of primal satanic fury, delivering a savage onslaught!

GOAT TORMENT was formed in 2008 by Kwel and K.J. with the intention to create music as a weapon of mass destruction and to annihilate everything which the so-called society stands for. For a start Kwel was supposed to play bass and K.J. would handle the vocals. But they didn’t find a guitarist who fitted with the ideology on a serious level. Thus Kwel decided to handle all the guitar parts and K.J.. started to play bass. After some months of research, the band recruited drummer Perversor. Then the band released a 4-track demo tape, released in 2009 through Terrorghoul Productions from Austria. The reactions were tremendous and bigger labels contacted the band interested to release the future offerings of GOAT TORMENT.

At this point, the band shared stages all over Europe with bands such as Grave Miasma, Hell Militia, Enthroned, Black Crucifixion, Black Witchery, The Devil’s blood…to name but a few. At the beginning of 2010 GOAT TORMENT had to part ways with drummer Perversor due to musical differences. During the early days of April 2010 a new burning entity was found: S. claimed the throne behind the battery. The Death wielding Trinity of GOAT TORMENT was complete. New songs were written, gigs were played and blood was shed.

Exactly one year later, the band entered the infamous Blackout Studio in Brussels (BE) to record some tracks for two upcoming releases: A 7” split EP with The Beast which was released at the beginning of 2012 and later that year another 7” EP , called “Into The Mouth of the Serpent”. Directly after the split EP was released, Kwel an S. decided to part ways with K.J.. due to different views about their future. In that moment GT decided to go on as a duet recruiting session members for live-shows.

The band returned to Blackout Studio in the fall of 2012 to record their first full-length album ‘Dominande Tenebrae’ ,which was released in February 2013 by Amor Fati Productions from Germany. After a year of a few European shows, the band had their first live appearance on American soil (Maryland Deathfest XII). The band had plans to go on as a four piece, but that didn’t work out because of different views. A South American tour was planned for August 2014 with the Belgian maniacs of ENTHRONED, but the two bands were forced to cancel one month before due to the irresponsible promoter.

In September 2014, S. decided to leave the band, due to other personal priorities and having no time anymore for drumming. It didn’t take long for Kwel to find somebody to take over the hammers. A new era began and Torturer (Mor Dagor, Bethlehem, ex-Belphegor) joined GOAT TORMENT as a new full member, so the duo was complete again. The band returned to Blackout Multimedia Studio in the beginning of 2015 to record their second full-length album.

In the summer of 2015, ‘Sermons To Death’ was released by Amor Fati Productions. The band toured the US West Coast in October 2015, accompanied by Saroth and Vagus Nox as live members. Shortly after, Vagus Nox joined forces to write new material. At the end of 2020, the third studio album ‘Forked Tongues’ had been completed.

The new offering delivers ultraheavy darkening passages that only serve to temper the relentless blasting speed. ‘Forked Tongues’ is musical punishment writ large, and sounds as if forged in the crucible of hell!

NECROFIER unveil new album details and share first single

Texan black metal battalion NECROFIER are now unleashing the second track of their upcoming debut record ‘Prophecies of Eternal Darkness’. The ominous new single “Madness Descends”, which was created by Dwayne Cathey, is now streaming in the form of an official music video here:

The cover artwork for ‘Prophecies of Eternal Darkness’ is created by Burney and can be found below along with the track-list.

Track-list:
1. The Black Flame Burns (WATCH)
2. Darker than the night
3. Madness Descends (WATCH)
4. Return to Chaos
5. Death Comes to Us All
6. Unholy Hunger
7. Betrayal of the Queen
8. Plaque Requiem
Total: 34:32

The rise of American black metal is a cult movement whose vast influence and growth cannot be ignored. Houston’s NECROFIER carries this torch, embodying the hallmarks of melodic black metal while embracing their Texas roots, delivering what can only be described as total Southern darkness as they bridge the divide between true Norwegian black metal and American gothic.

In the fall of 2018, fate coalesced when vocalist/guitarist Bakka Larson (VENOMOUS MAXIMUS, NIGHT COBRA) saw an open call on social media from drummer Dobber Beverly (OCEANS OF SLUMBER, INSECT WARFARE) who was looking to work on a traditional heavy metal project. Larson had already been working on black metal songs as an outlet to explore the themes of the supernatural and unknown and exploring this darkness, so he jumped on the opportunity and quickly reached out. The two immediately connected over their shared passion to create dark, old school music in which they could inject their Southern flair.

The duo eventually recruited Beverly’s OCEANS OF SLUMBER counterpart and bassist Mat Valentine and soon wrote and released a debut EP, ‘Visions in Fire,’ which channeled the spirit of late-era DISSECTION, WATAIN, CLOAK, and TRIBULATION while staying true to their own homegrown sensibilities.

Not long after the EP release, the band scored an opening slot with UADA. Needing a second guitarist to fill out the sound, Josh Bokemeyer (CHURCH OF DISGUST) was eventually tapped to fill that role, completing the band’s inception. The four-piece later released a music video for the EP title track and went on to perform with a vast array of their black metal brethren such as 1349, Goatwhore, and Cloak, including an appearance at a coveted SXSW showcase. Now, the band is emerging from the darkness of 2021, ready to fan the unholy flames and finally release their devastating debut full-length, ‘Prophecies of Eternal Darkness.’

TEMPTER’S SACRAMENT set release date for INVICTUS debut EP, reveal first track

Today, Invictus Productions announces October 1st as the international release date for Tempter’s Sacrament‘s striking debut EP, Temptation Steel Scourge, on cassette tape formats. The CD and 12″ vinyl versions will follow next year.

Hailing from New Jersey and formed in early 2020, Tempter’s Sacrament are a band seemingly custom-made for the barbed-wire sensibilities of Invictus. The band are a duo of Hades Tempter – guitar, bass, and vocals, as well as all songwriting – and Infernal Deceiver – drums and effects, and a member of Nihil Verum Nisi Mors collective – and together, they’ve erected a neutron hammer of scuzzy black/death METAL. No quarter, no compromise, Tempter’s Sacrament stand for merciless defiance in the face of weakening/weekend “metal” shat out in the social media era.

The duo made their recorded debut with the demo Putrid Triumph last fall, and now return a year later with the longer and stronger Temptation Steel Scourge. Indeed, Temptation Steel Scourge is fucking perfectly titled, as Tempter’s Sacrament reap the whirlwind of the old gods and smite those who’d dilute the essence of true, ancient death metal and its blacker variant. Mind-melted solos fly fast and free, battery bends and bruises at insane speeds, vokills summoned from sulfurous pits, and absolute RIFFS scythe and slice with cruel precision – there’s no escaping this Temptation Steel Scourge!

References to be made include Invictus alumni like Vomitor, Apocalypse Command, Slutvomit, and Beastiality as well as the almighty Slaughter Lord, but with a full-length already in the works, Tempter’s Sacrament are well on their way in asserting a Christ-crushing identity all their own. In the meantime, beware the Temptation Steel Scourge!

Face the first scourge with the brand-new track “Megiddo Ecstasy” here:

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Finnish black metal legends Azazel premiere new track

Today, Finnish black metal legends Azazel premiere the new track “Jesus Christ Impotent Rotting Saviour” . The track is the second to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated third album, Aegrus Satanas Tecum, set for international release on September 24th via Primitive Reaction. Hear Azazel‘s “Jesus Christ Impotent Rotting Saviour” in its entirety here:

Formed in that fateful year of 1992, Azazel are among the first black metal bands to hail from Finland – and undoubtedly, one of the most cult. The band released a demo in 1993 and a mini-album in ’96, but then receded into the shadows and misery for many years. Following a split album in 2011, however, the black flame of Azazel was burning brightly once again, resulting in the full-lengths Jesus Perversions (2012) and Witches Deny Holy Trinity (2015). And while it would seem that the shadows of misery ensnared the band again, some demons never die…

Now, at long last, those shadows recede and reveal Azazel‘s long-awaited third album, Aegrus Satanas Tecum. Immediately and righteously recognizable as Azazel, Aegrus Satanas Tecum is a unique record in that it bridges all the band’s eras whilst opening new portals into the black beyond. Here, one will find the near-bestial filth & fury of Jesus Perversions alongside the more haunting and even stately sensations of Witches Deny Holy Trinity. But, like anything in Azazel‘s wild & weird world, ramshackle insanity runs riot – and often – and thus is a variety of songcraft employed to mangle the mind and ruin the spirit. And yet, the finesse with which Azazel accomplish this, playing something “primitive” but in clear & cutting fashion (and vice versa), bespeaks some strange magick on the band’s part and lends even more staying power to their ever-uncompromising sound. Above all, Aegrus Satanas Tecum is an album that’s equally early ’90s as it is NOW: Azazel are more undead than ever.

“Accomplished”? Perhaps? Ancient? Always. Azazel may be predictably unpredictable, but Aegrus Satanas Tecum proves that their twisting saga is far from over…

Hear the previously revealed “Demons Attack the Nun’s Chapel” HERE at Primitive Reaction‘s official YouTube channel. Cover artwork, courtesy of the legendary Chris Moyen, and tracklisting are as follows:

Tracklisting for Azazel (Finland)’s Aegrum Satanas Tecum

FECULENT to have debut EP released on CD by CHAOS RECORDS

THE AMENTA – “Solipschism” out now

THE AMENTA‘s latest offering “Solipschism” consists of two new compositions whose sound may best be described as dank, grimy, and eerie. The songs ‘Solipschism‘ and ‘Labourinth‘ were originally crafted during the recording sessions for “Revelator“. As such, they further enrich the sinister journey THE AMENTA have embarked on their latest album. Today, “Solipschism” is officially released and available on vinyl via Debemur Morti Production’sEU, US, and Bandcamp shops. The EP can be streamed via Bandcamp and on the label’s YouTube channel:

THE AMENTA‘s Timothy Pope comments on “Solipschism“:

“Both songs share a sound, but for different reasons. The verses of ‘Solipschism‘ have that dankness from reverb and delay. It’s a really damp, cold sounding recording. ‘Labourinth‘ shares the dankness, but mainly because of the environment that it was recorded in. When that song was being recorded, it was just about to storm, and the piano was swelling and performing strangely due to the moisture in the air. The result is a creaking, weird-sounding piece, directly affected by the dankness of the air. Both songs are grimy, the first because it is caked in our traditional distortion. Everything is distorted, guitars, vocals, keyboards, and drums. The second track is grimy from its lo-fi nature. The track was recorded straight to a very cheap condenser mic, and the samples and effects are deliberately very lo-fi, so there is a lot of grit and audio artifacts throughout. Lastly, the songs are eerie as they both live in that area of tense waiting, just before the final destruction.“

“Solipschism” must be understood as a link to THE AMENTA‘s recent past. However, the band is currently also working on new material:

“As it is with all our material, we have no idea what it is or how it will sound until it is finished. Even “Solipschism” went through numerous changes of orchestration and structure. The initial demo is unrecognizable from the final tracks. The new material we are working on is very bare bones, as it always is at this stage. We’re also finalizing another recording project, which will be an interesting one. Without reveling too much, you could consider it an exposure of some of the inspirations for “Revelator“. But once that is done, we will leave the world of “Revelator” behind and experiment to find a new direction for the next release. There are some great ideas already forming. One, in its current form, I would describe as BIG BLACK playing IMMOLATION, in a jam with the GODFLESH drum machine. But that’s a demo. By the end it may sound like Stravinsky.“

THE AMENTA is ugly, dissonant, electronically-lacerated Extreme Metal from Australia, featuring the core creative line-up of Cain Cressall (Vocals), Erik Miehs (Guitars) and Timothy Pope (Keyboards, Samples & Effects) with Dan Quinlan (Bass) and drummer David Haley (PSYCROPTIC, ex-ABORTED) rounding out the lineup.

Early experiments with dissonance resulted in 2002’s “Mictlan” MCD. Two years later, the band had signed to Listenable Records who released the debut full length, “Occasus”. Next came 2008’s divisive “n0n” album. “n0n” was a dense, ugly, sprawling hymn to urban decay. A filthy paean to political manipulation. It was anti-everything.

Upon returning to Australia after extensive European and American touring, THE AMENTA recorded a free download of a huge multimedia release in 2011 entitled “V01D”. The release featured the new title track, re-recordings of tracks from the two previous albums, as well as professionally filmed and recorded live performances and film clips. The new song showcased one of many new directions THE AMENTA could take. Epic chords held in stasis by drones: melody where before there had only been dissonance.

In 2013, THE AMENTA released “Flesh Is Heir”. The most organic and open of THE AMENTA’s releases to date, “Flesh Is Heir” built huge sculptures of sound from decayed choir loops and found percussion, the strongest riffs and guitar hooks in THE AMENTA back catalogue and an immaculate vocal performance.

After taking a hiatus from live performance in 2014, the band resumed activity in 2019. Inchoate rumblings slowly took shape. In 2020, THE AMENTA is excited to announce a partnership with Debemur Morti Productions, a label whose name is synonymous with art and with the most forward thinking bands in extreme music.

LE CHANT NOIR set release date for new PERSONAL RECORDS album, reveal first track – features members of ANCIENT, TROOPS OF DOOM, PATRIA, MYSTERIIS+++

On October 22nd internationally, Personal Records is proud to present Le Chant Noir‘s highly anticipated second album, La Société Satanique des Poètes Morts, on CD format. Digital distribution will be handled by Blood Blast.

Formed in 2016, Le Chant Noir arrived on the international metal map with single-minded purpose: deliver a grandiose statement of the majestic and macabre. And that’s exactly what they did with their debut album, Ars Arcanvm Vodvm, in 2017. Then again, Le Chant Noir was hardly a “new” band, comprising as they do a veritable “supergroup” of the Brazilian underground: vocalist Lord Kaiaphas, well known for the classic albums of Norway’s Ancient, Mad Grandiose Bloodfiends and The Cainian Chronicles, as well as Thokkian Vortex among others; guitarist Mantus AKA Marcelo Vasco, known for such bands as The Troops of Doom, Patria, and Mysteriis as well as being an acclaimed graphic artist for the likes of Slayer, Kreator, Machine Head, Soulfly, and Hatebreed; and the drummer Malphas, who’s a bandmate of Vasco’s in Mysteriis.

At long last, Le Chant Noir deliver their second statement of the majestic and macabre: La Société Satanique des Poètes Morts. Building upon the firm foundation of its acclaimed predecessor, Le Chant Noir‘s second album threads together the darkest fibers of archaic black metal, doom metal, and even dark metal, arriving at a sort of avant-garde symphonic black metal that’s simultaneously authentic throwback and refreshingly modern. Taken another way, immerse thyself in the chilling waters of La Société Satanique des Poètes Morts and one can imagine this sort of high drama slotting well alongside Rotting Christ, Bethlehem, and Arcturus during the late ’90s – indeed, the very era where DARK METAL was in legitimate parlance. References or none, however, there’s no disputing the spindly, spellbinding power of Le Chant Noir here, as their unsettlingly odd textures and vampiric, olde-worlde atmospheres easily transport the listener to centuries long ago and perhaps long forgotten, of French cabarets populated by aristocratic Satanists and those practicing medieval witchcraft. Simply, it’s an entire sonic/psychic landscape unto itself, and one you’d be hard pressed to locate in today’s metal scene.

Bells toll, and fog rolls in. The symphony of the damned strikes its first chord. Casks of bloodiest vintage are cracked open. Tread warily into Le Chant Noir‘s La Société Satanique des Poètes Morts!

Begin treading with the brand-new track “Priére á Satan” here:

CULT OF EIBON set release date for IRON BONEHEAD debut album, reveal first track

Today, Iron Bonehead Productions announces October 29th as the international release date for Cult of Eibon‘s long-awaited debut album, Black Flame Dominion, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed in 2015, Cult of Eibon are literally a band out of time, so richly and robustly authentic is their classic Greek black metal sound. The duo made their recorded debut in 2016 with the 7″ EP Fullmoon Invocation, but it was next year’s Iron Bonehead-released Lycan Twilight Sorcery which launched Cult of Eibon onto the international underground map. With almost preternatural ease, these Greeks hailed Hellas through 32 minutes of mesmerizing mysticism and ancient METAL. Truly, one could imagine the record being released on Molon Lave circa 1993.

In the interim, Cult of Eibon released a split 7″ with fellow ancient-minded Greeks Caedes Cruenta, but the anticipation (and mystery) built for a full-length work. At long last does it arrive with Black Flame Dominion. Immediately, the listener is whisked to forgotten realms; the sorcery coursing through its atmospheres is potent, the heady, hazy potion pulsing with the same addicting, ageless black magick that made the early works of Rotting Christ and especially Varathron massively influential in Greece and far beyond. Indeed, THAT PULSE is what pulls the listener in and refuses to let go, that locked-in and hypnotic surge idiomatic of Hellenic classicism, as well as liberal layers of swelling synth to fully transport that listener to an archaic age. But, much as they mightily proved on Lycan Twilight Sorcery, Cult of Eibon‘s Black Flame Dominion is no mere work of replication: one must truly LIVE THIS to be able to create it, and a bewitching, almost-(were)wolven identity all their own emerges. Or, put another way, the band’s debut album is an authentically ancient-minded modern entry into that classic canon – no hyperbole, no trends!

Startlingly familiar but also startlingly awe-inspiring, Cult of Eibon add to their homeland’s enduringly unique “folk language” with Black Flame Dominion. HAIL HELLAS ETERNALLY!

First eternal hails can be found with the brand-new track “Into the Realm of Na-girt-a-lu” here:

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

CRYSTAL COFFIN set release date for new A BEAST IN THE FIELD album, reveal first track

Today, A Beast in the Field announces October 15th as the international release date for Crystal Coffin‘s highly anticipated second album, The Starway Eternal.

Crystal Coffin is a melodic black metal trio from Vancouver, Canada that has played together since 2017. The band consists of Aron Shute (vocals, bass), Lenkyn Ostapovich (guitars, vocals, synths, piano, balalaika), and Rob Poirier (drums). Crystal Coffin is influenced by the progressive black sounds of Enslaved and Wolves in the Throne Room, the straightforward aggression of High on Fire, and the haunting keyboard work of Fabio Frizzi. Lyrically, the band re-imagines 20th century atrocities into poetry and melody. In March 2020, the band released their first full-length, The Transformation Room, on A Beast in the Field to positive reviews. For the remainder of the year, the band wrote and rehearsed the music that would form their second album, The Starway Eternal.

Massive and mesmerizing, The Starway Eternal continues Crystal Coffin‘s contemplation of worldly struggle and the fine line one can find between hope and hopelessness. Cast against the historical realities of the Chernobyl power plant meltdown of 1986, the assumed protagonist – an operator at the power plant – discovers the portalway behind an inoperable console and soon finds that her longing for meaning in this chaotic world answers the opportunity to seek out the purported gods and angels that live among the cosmos in our known solar system. To find such entities would be to imbue a sense of importance in our collective existence beyond the daily disorder and existential despair that one accepts. Her trips into various corners of space reveal little to no such beings, and during one such fruitless endeavor, her portalway back to earth is shut permanently; reactor 4 at Chernobyl back on earth has suffered its meltdown during shutdown operation. Frantic, she makes the decision to return to earth by falling through the fiery atmosphere as a lonely, final and futile act of desperation. Of course, survival is impossible, and such an act becomes a metaphor for our time wandering the earth with little connection to anything beyond the physical world.

Indeed, with a thematic scope so portentous, Crystal Coffin‘s compositions suitably follow that awe-inspiring arc, collectively comprising the band’s best and most adventurous work to date. Musically, The Starway Eternal was written during the lockdown months of spring-into-summer 2020 and rehearsed as restrictions started easing into the autumn. The music and vocals are intentionally more aggressive than its no-less-considerable predecessor while also trying to paint a landscape that contains elements of science fiction and moments of pathos. As they did with the content of that first album, on The Starway Eternal did Crystal Coffin reflect upon actual events of the 20th Century in Eastern Europe to create poetic images of struggle, defeat, regret, and the hope for a lifeless form that yields a form of peace beyond our consciousness can consider. More immediately, each of the band members come from families rooted in European backgrounds and have a shared interest in history, science fiction motifs, and vintage horror.  

Refreshingly cinematic, palatably modern, and unselfconsciously adventurous, Crystal Coffin dazzlingly skirt the outer boundaries of black metal and psychedelic, space and time, with The Starway Eternal.

COFFIN MULCH sign with MEMENTO MORI, to release debut album

In their endless quest to push and support current underground acts that perpetuate the odor of vintage death metal, Memento Mori are extremely thrilled to announce a new signing: Coffin Mulch, from Scotland.

Coffin Mulch are Al on vocals, David on guitar, Rich on bass, and Fraser on drums. They’ve been going for around three years and have released one demo and one EP so far, the reaction to which has totally been massive. They come from a diverse musical background, having played in a variety of different bands throughout the years, but started Coffin Mulch to play old-school, heavy & pounding death metal influenced totally by late ’80s / early ’90s bands like Entombed, Autopsy, Massacre, Death, Bolt Thrower et. al. They’re all punks at heart, and the DIY ethic and aesthetic is just as important to them as the tunes. They’ve got a flexi single coming out in tribute to the great L-G Petrov soon and a split 7″ with their friends Cryptic Brood, and are currently polishing off songs for their debut album, which will be released on CD by, according to Al (the band’s vocalist and also owner of the underground label At War With False Noise), “the most esteemed Memento Mori, an excellent old-school label who do things right!”

Memento Mori will unleash the CD version of their debut full-length on July 25th, 2022. Further details to follow in the coming months. For more info, consult the links below.
