HEXELLA IN CONSPIRACY WITH HELLS HEADBANGERS... A statement from Hexella reads as thus: "It is with extreme infernal indulgence that we announce the unleashing of Hexella's first album, an offering charged in unholy blood and hellraising black fire. In conspiracy with Hells Headbangers, the chaos unfolds on all physical formats in 2024."...read more>> VAULTWRAITH LAUNCH NEW ALBUM PRE-ORDER... With a true European-horror atmosphere and metallic-laced riffs conjuring BLACKENED HEAVY METAL, complete with Exorcist-vomiting and shrieking vocals from HELL, Vaultwraith’s third album, Decomposing Spells, is a 10-track album filled with nothing but the most catchy, memorable, and melodic guitar-solo-drenched songs of pure SKELETONIZED HORROR METAL that you can possibly imagine!...read more>> BLOODY APOSTLES to release long-awaited debut EP, reveal first track - features members of PROFANATICA, MURDER JUNKIES, ANTISEEN... The story of Bloody Apostles goes back to 1989, when the band got together to make a record with the infamous GG Allin. Unfortunately, it was never finished, and the band soon faded into the mists of time. Indeed, the band's self-titled debut EP authentically sounds like it could've come from 1989 (or earlier), with a rotten 'n' rude style of hardcore punk that the GG Allin would've been proud of. ...read more>> GENOCIDAL RITES to release new EP, prepare debut album... No more but certainly no less, "Exsanguination of the Gods" is as concise of an introduction to Genocidal Rites as any. The feral frequencies across this three-song/nine-minute assault are indeed black, white, and red all over: the Ross Bay gods of war loom large here, as do paradigmatic Black Witchery and especially Proclamation. No progression and no compromise, Genocidal Rites proceed to lay waste with a blown-out, blackgrinding iteration of bestial metal that suggests plenty of perversion still to come. And "Exsanguination of the Gods" is but a foretaste of the band's forthcoming debut album for Hells Headbangers....read more>> Finland's GRIEVE LAUNCH NEW ALBUM PRE-ORDER... Grieve have arisen from their own self-imposed grave with the second full-length Wolves of the Northern Moon. "We said we’d end the project for good, but we lied," state the band about that grave. "We exhumed it." Indeed, the exhumation also includes a nastiness last found on such Nordic classics as Kronet til konge, Pentagram, Til evighet..., or even Black Thrash Attack. Essentially, then, Grieve's ethics have not changed (nor should they have to), but one can nonetheless find here a pronounced asskicking sensibility that adds further antagonization to trendy ears as well as a noble march to mystical victories....read more>> SPITER REVEAL NEW MUSIC VIDEO - features members of DEVIL MASTER and SHITFUCKER... Featuring members of labelmates SHITFUCKER and Devil Master, SPITER made their recorded debut during the spring of 2021 with the Draconian Death Curse EP. Although it’d be semi-accurate to see the EP as a sonic union between SHITFUCKER and Devil Master, already SPITER exerted their own identity, ripping forth with a raw-yet-anthemic blend of cult blackthrash, obscure hardcore punk, and even the wildest deathrock. Immediately, the short-length garnered the band a great deal of attention. Now armed with HELLS HEADBANGERS, SPITER’s first full-length fully displays the band’s considerable powers. More ripping, more anthemic, wilder and weirder and laded with a crisp-yet-crushing production, Bathe the Babe in Bats Blood will put the name SPITER on the tongues of all who worship the dark and depraved. The album features 10 songs in 36 minutes, and will be available next year across all formats....read more>>
