ANTIQ releases DORMINN’s spellbinding debut album – currently streaming

Antiq is proud to present the striking debut album of Dorminn, simply self-titled Dorminn.

Dorminn is a one-man project of dark ambient / neofolk, at the crossroads of Moëvöt, Enmity, and Yele Solma. He uses ancient instruments from different continents, and draws inspiration from cults and traditions from all around the world that he corrupts with the hatred and the nihilism of acoustic black metal, raw and dark.

The project takes all its dimension live, when the shaman, alone onstage, builds up the music track by track with a looper. The ritual is transcended by these hypnotic loops that help him conjure up the demons of a modern cosmogony.
The self-titled first album of Dorminn was entirely recorded on an old tape recorder – REMCO S4000R from the ’70s – to breathe into the music an ancient and dirty carnation. Some pieces of the album might bear relics from the shaman.

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

Benighted enter studio for new album!

Extreme French metal outfit  BENIGHTED have entered the studio for the recordings of their brand new album “Obscene Repressed” which will be released via Season of Mist in 2020. Drummer Kevin Paradis has kicked off the drum recordings last weekend at the Kohlekeller Sudio in Germany.

Vocalist Julien Truchan commented: “Fellows, it’s about time to give birth to the very twisted and violent little brother that ‘Necrobreed’ deserves. We are back to the Kohlekeller Studio (Powerwolf, Aborted, Cremator) in Germany and if some of you thought that it would be difficult to go even further in brutality and insanity than Necrobreed, we are impatient for you to throw an ear on this new piece of our guts… Our humanoid machine Kevin Paradis started yesterday recording the drums for the upcoming album called ‘Obscene Repressed’ and we can’t wait to deliver you the most intense stuff we’ve ever made!”

Julien continues:
“This concept-album is about the story of a schizophrenic young man, with a cleft palate and serious oedipal issues that lead him to think and do extremely delusional things that you will discover among the songs… Hope you will enjoy this new beautiful love story! Ah ah! Stay sick, my friends!””

The new album is scheduled for release in 2020 via Season of Mist
BENIGHTED‘s latest EP ‘Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master’ was released in 2018. Artwork, track list and album info can be found below.

Madness reigns! BENIGHTED deliver the radical soundtrack to these savage times.

BENIGHTED were spawned by members from French Death and Black metal bands DISHUMANIZED, DARKNESS FIRE, and OSGILIATH, who joined forces in 1998 for a more brutal, heavy and modern way of expression. When their first self-produced and self-titled full-length hit the streets in 2000, it immediately had a strong impact. This turned a side-project into a main act. A fast-growing fan base was built by a string of acclaimed albums: ‘Psychose’ (2002), ‘Insane Cephalic Production’ (2004), ‘Identisick’ (2006), and ‘Icon’ (2007) were all enthusiastically received. With their latest full-length ‘Necrobreed’, the French sidestepped the steadily growing complexity of their previous albums ‘Asylum Cave’ (2011) and ‘Carnivore Sublime’ (2014) by recalibrating their sound along their roots. ‘Necrobreed’ came based on a theme revolving around the abysmal potential of the human psyche.
 
On the live front, BENIGHTED quickly started to capture audiences with sweat driver performances that bulldozer any resistance mercilessly aside. This allowed the French to climb up the ladder fast and soon came invitations to all major European festivals including Neurotic Death Fest, Hellfest, Wacken, Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze, and Inferno Festival among many more.
 
After their 20th anniversary, it was time for BENIGHTED to capture the live madness on ‘Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master’ which not only contains three brand new tracks and the brutal  AT THE GATES cover of ‘Slaughter Of The Soul’, but also live recordings with guest musicians such as Sven Decaluwé (ABORTED), Nikita Kamprad (DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT), Arno (BLACK BOMB A), Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING) and Ben Wright (UFATHOMABLE RUINATION).
 
‘Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master’ gives yet another extreme musical voice to the madness lurking within!

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.

MARRAS set release date for debut album, reveal first track – includes members of VARGRAV, FÖRGJORD+++

Today, Spread Evil Productions announces November 19th as the international release date for Marras‘ striking debut album, Where Light Comes to Die.

Rising from the depths of mid-Finland, Marras might be a new name as a  band, but the forces behind it surely are not new to the scene and the Black Arts. Featuring members from known Finnish hordes Vargrav, Förgjord, Nekrokrist SS, and Mimorium, the result is undoubtedly an image of  its creators: reaping, hateful, and bleak, reeking of the northern unlight and harsh coldness that’s well known in Finnish black metal. Shifting  from fast, raging black metal to more atmospheric parts, accompanied by samples and mid-intros to boost up the mood, this aptly titled debut album completely captivates the listener with all that you can expect from the souls of the North. Indeed, Marras show you Where Light Comes to Die…

In the meantime, follow their lead down that path with the new title track “Where Light Comes to Die” HERE. Distribution for the album is handled by Militant Underground.

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Marras’ Where Light Comes to Die
1. Prologi (Guidance)
2. Overture of the Lonely Journey
3. Lifeless Sculptures
4. Prologi (Faith)
5. Sea of Trees
6. Prologi (Damnation)
7. Transition of the Lightless Path
8. Where Light Comes to Die
9. Prologi (Desolation)
10. Chamber of Penance

MONGREL’S CROSS announce ABSU’s Proscriptor as new vocalist

Today, Aussie metal vanguard Mongrel’s Cross announce Absu’s Proscriptor as their vocalist. A statement from the band reads: “It is with great pleasure to announce the entire vocal performance for our upcoming full-length, Arcana, Scrying And Revelation, will be handled by none other than Proscriptor McGovern of Absu fame. Proscriptor has been a huge influence on us, and to have him bless our work is beyond humbling. Over the past few months, we have been conversing with the warrior of Ulster, and his dedication to metal and magic(k) is truly inspiring. You can expect nothing short of perfection with such a master of his craft at the helm.”

This momentous album will see release through Hells Headbangers next year, with a spring / summer release expected. Mongrel’s Cross released their long-awaited second album, Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court, this past August to international acclaim; the album can be heard here:

ATEIGGÄR set release date for EISENWALD debut mini-album – includes members of Helvetic Underground Committee

Today, Eisenwald sets November 15th as the North American release date for Ateiggär‘s striking debut mini-album, Us d’r Höll chunnt nume Zyt, on 12″ vinyl and cassette tape formats.

Give heed and cower before Ateiggär! Gather before this fearsome entity that has, after deliberate and meticulous examination, managed to decode and transcribe into audial form the supernatural formulae containing concealed wisdom on the spheres of might, the nature of time and space. Embark upon a mystical journey through soundscapes detailing visions of Levania, and explorations into the conscience of gods told through the twisted soundscape of total arcane mastery!

Ateiggär (suitably, their moniker meaning “Initiator of Ideas”) was formed in early 2019 by Fauth Temenkeel and Fauth Lantav. While their lyrical universe is formed around alchemistic and mystic ideas stemming from the early modern period,  Ateiggär‘s sound is deeply rooted in the traditions of second-wave black metal. Proudly purist yet not exclusively backwards-looking, the five songs comprising Us d’r Höll chunnt nume Zyt – the band’s first public recording, a veritable bolt from the blue – compellingly create a tapestry of mysticism and splendor strongly breathing the air of the ancients, of staunchly ’90s-entrenched majesty and might, despite their relatively young age. Perhaps not surprisingly, the band is associated with Switzerland’s infamous Helvetic Underground Committee, but on their own merits, Ateiggär are an exciting new proposition, a wily ‘n’ youthful twist on old-style black metal.

First track premiere to be announced shortly. Ordering info can be found at Eisenwald‘s North American webstore HERE.

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Ateiggär’s Us d’r Höll chunnt nume Zyt
1. En Seelefunke
2. Und d Korybante tanzed in Sturm

5. De Dämon us Levania

Black metal enigmas Ancient Moon stream new album

Today, black metal enigmas Ancient Moon stream the entirety of their highly anticipated second album, Benedictus diabolica, Gloria Patri. Set for international release on September 20th via Iron Bonehead Productions, hear Ancient Moon‘s Benedictus diabolica, Gloria Patri in its entirety exclusively here:
Ancient Moon are a cross-continental entity whose membership and locale are a mystery and frequently speculated upon. Rather, they’ve let their works speak for them, with 2015’s Vvltvre debut being a staggeringly epic single-track album, followed last year by an equally epic side-long split album with Prosternatur, courtesy of Iron Bonehead.

With those lofty (and mesmerizing) precedents set, it should come as no surprise that Ancient Moon plunge deeper into the abyss and ether alike with the two-song, 38-minute Benedictus diabolica, Gloria Patri. Much like its Latin title, this second album imparts a stultifying austerity – ceremonial, even – that thoroughly entrances the listener right from the very beginning, so bewitching is their black metalled hypnotism. However, under the crushing weight of its two component tracks (18 and 21 minutes, respectively), Ancient Moon safely evade rudimentary inertia by winding each of those compositions through a wealth of harrowing, haunting territory: truly, EPIC(s) in every sense of the word. Shimmering and spectral and yet also grim and gnarling, Ancient Moon here display seemingly contradictory faces; underneath those masks lays the same free-flowing spirit, one which manages to make time stand still and simultaneously move in reverse. Indeed, under an ancient moon does a uniquely spellbinding mysticism reside…

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Germany’s KRATER set release date for new EISENWALD album

Today, Eisenwald sets November 15th as the North American release date for the highly anticipated fourth album of Germany’s Krater, Venenare, on CD, vinyl LP, and limited-edition cassette tape formats.

A study in patience and progress, Krater formed in 2003. In the band’s earliest days – across two demos, two splits, and 2006’s debut album, Das Relikt des Triumphes – the Krater sound tended more toward pagan black metal, but powerfully so. Come 2008, however, a period of silence and self-reflection followed…

When at last those sounds arrived, Krater had taken on a new form: one partly tied to their earlier traditionalism, another more so modernized. This burst-chrysalis came in the shape of 2011’s Nocebo, and following yet another lineup shake-up, 2016’s masterful Urere, courtesy of current label home Eisenwald. However, with these still-poignant albums as the foundation, Krater have now delivered their magnum opus with Venenare.

A 50-minute work broken into nine songs but unified as one winding, widescreen composition, Venenare shows Krater at the height of their all-too-considerable powers, a blinding and windswept vortex of sumptuous songcraft and passionate execution. Motifs slice and dice, blast and race with a grace that’s simply stunning, as melodic counterplay runs riot with a proud ‘n’ powerful assertion of classic metal sensibility. Krater‘s contours here undeniably exude a sleek and urban quality, but with abstracted hints of their pagan past subtly woven in to the soundfield, the result is staunchly second-wave black metal bravely recast for the 21st century. Venenare is thus timeless, yet forward-thinking all the same.

With cover artwork courtesy of Misanthropic-Art and mixing & mastering handled by Esoteric’s Greg Chandler, Krater have gone full-force to deliver a great work for the ages with Venenare. The only hurdle is resisting its spellbinding pull…

First track premiere and preorder info to be announced shortly. Aforementioned cover and tracklisting are as follows:
Tracklisting for Krater (Germany)’s Venenare
1. Eruption
2. Prayer for Demise
3. Zwischen den Worten
4. Stellar Sparks
5. When Thousand Hearts

CANNABIS CORPSE release second new track of ‘Nug So Vile’

Stoner death metal icons CANNABIS CORPSE are now releasing the second new track, taken from their upcoming album ‘Nug So Vile’, which will be released on November 1, 2019. The new offerin ‘Blunt Force Domain’ is now streaming
Phil Hall comments on the track: “Hey stoners! Here is another pot-provoking jam from the forthcoming album “Nug So Vile”. Just a quick lyric video to satisfy anyone jonezing for some weed metal. Stay tuned though! We just finished shooting an amazing video with My Good Eye Visuals that should be finished in the next couple weeks! “
CANNABIS CORPSE have previously revealed the artwork and track-list of ‘Nug So Vile’, which can both be viewed below.
Tracklist:
1. Conquerors of Chronageddon (03:15)
2. Nug So Vile (03:08)
3. Blunt Force Domain (03:43)
4. Cylinders of Madness (02:42)
5. Blasphemy Made Hash (03:40)
6. Cheeba Jigsore Quandary (03:23)
7. Edibles Autopsy (03:14)
8. Dawn of Weed Possession (03:27)
9. The Cone is Red (Long Live the Cone) (02:21)
10. The Ultimate Indicantation (03:57)
Bonus track:
11. From Enslavement to Hydrobliteration (02:53)
CANNABIS CORPSE’s latest strain of weed-metal is another potent dose of bong ripping brutality laced with tasty riffs, vicious drumming, and powerful THC. With a title inspired by CRYPTOPSY’s seminal album, ‘Nug So Vile’ is a horrifying look into the mind of a hardcore marijuana abuser with the demented fantasies of a reefer addict fully on display. The record is more than just a mere follow up to 2017’s ‘Left Hand Pass’, but rather serves as a solid companion piece, seamlessly picking up right where the band left off.

Sharing a passion for marijuana and death metal, brothers Phil ‘Landphil’ Hall (MUNICIPAL WASTE, IRON REAGAN) and Josh ‘Hallhammer’ Hall formed CANNABIS CORPSE in 2006 in Richmond, VA as a loving homage to the genre’s forefathers. The brothers decided from the start to separate themselves from the pack by infusing a green sense of humour into their horror-inspired lyrics. Meanwhile, it has become a badge of honour for many of the Halls’ idols to have one of their titles parodied by the Richmond outfit.

Now, CANNABIS CORPSE has returned as a three-piece and despite slimming the line-up down since ‘Left Hand Pass’, ‘Nug So Vile’ still sounds as full and thick as ever, solidifying their place among death metal’s elite. So, roll a blunt, grab a neckbrace, and prepare yourself for another nasty assault from the kings of weed metal.
