PEST
Eternal nightmares

Pest returns with one last full length. Big was the shock when co-founder Mrok passed away in 2011, but inspiration was found a decade after his death and rather than searching for a new drummer, founder Scum honoured the legacy of Pest and Mrok and took up drums himself again. Combined with his and Atax’ trademark sounding riffs, as well as input from new member Brandt, the new album “Eternal nightmares” sounds really as if no time has passed since. The maniacal vocals from Mr. Blasphemy and Atax still cuts through your bones. The storm of riffs are trance-inducing yet ultra aggressive. All with the classic medieval weirdness to the sound that was already present on their demo and first albums. For Pest, innovation means retrogression. The new album still fully recorded and mixed by the band themselves in the rehearsal room, just as 25 years ago. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.

GARDE
Harbinger of revenge and war (CD)

While “Viking metal” has largely lost its original meaning in these days of Eurofest silliness, GARDE stride forth across tundra both tangible and spiritual to restore the honour, valour, and pride central to the subgenre. Thusly aptly titled, Harbinger of revenge and war is Viking Berserkr Metal for fans of Scald, Mayhemic Truth, Norden, Countess, and of course the pioneering trilogy of Bathory.

Lead vocals and choirs by Dan Capp. Original cover painting by Wesley Dewanckel. Additional guitar solos by JS.

SEASON OF THE DEAD
Zombie Chronicles Vol.1

Zombie Chronicles Vol. 1 is the first full-length chapter of Season of The Dead, a macabre journey into the heart of horror-infused death metal. Conceived as a blood-soaked anthology, the album unfolds like a collection of short horror stories, each track inspired by the grotesque imagery and suffocating atmosphere of cult splatter cinema.

From the suffocating dread of City of the Living Dead to the visceral gore of Zombie 2 and the raw savagery of Cannibal HolocaustZombie Chronicles Vol. 1 channels the atmosphere of lost VHS nightmares, translating them into riffs, growls, and pounding rhythms. The result is a record that feels like a horror film soundtrack possessed by the rotten spirit of Necrophagia, Mortician, and Fulci.

Across its running time, the album delivers a relentless assault of death metal brutality, layered with cinematic tension and ritualistic atmospheres. Dual vocal performances, crushing basslines, and necro-sounding guitar work create a soundscape where zombies, decay, and gore come to life in audio form.

ARCHAIC THORN
Malicious Spears

Archaic Thorn have been active in the German death metal underground since 2010, evolving steadily from their early demo "Hydra Throats" (2013) through the EP "In Desolate Magnificence" (2015) to their acclaimed debut album "Eradication" (2020) - all without losing their original ferocity. Anyone who appreciates the old-school sound of bands like Degial, Necrovore, or Repugnant will also love "Malicious Spears". On their second studio album, the Saxon trio logically continues this path. "From our point of view, it’s more catchy and features more distinctive riffs," says guitarist CL. "The sound hits exactly what we were aiming for - we wanted an organic production that honestly reflects our band’s character and still delivers modern punch." The album was mixed and mastered by Christoph Brandes at Iguana Studios (Necrophagist, Fragments of Unbecoming, among others). Stylistic consistency and a solid line-up go hand in hand for Archaic Thorn. "Lyrically, nothing has changed since our demo," vocalist/bassist MF emphasizes. The lyrics continue to revolve around "occultism, death, war, and damnation," themes that are also reflected in the eye-catching cover artwork by Sadistik Exekution vocalist Rok. "Malicious Spears" is likely to win Archaic Thorn a host of new fans. Anyone who can combine uncompromising brutality with refined songwriting on this level is capable of standing alongside the heavyweights of the genre.

KATLA - Módurástin
Second hand

KATLA
Módurástin

Katla is an Icelandic band featuring ex-Sólstafir drummer and visual artist Guðmundur Óli Pálmason and singer/multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Guðmundsson (Fortíð, Potentiam). Named in tribute to one of Iceland's greatest active volcanos, Katla creates powerful, panoramic music where shimmering guitars, crushing melodies and atmospheric density meet dark, entrancing power.

Katla's debut album, "Móðurástin", shines a spotlight on the band's hook-heavy, horizon-stretching sound. The lyrics tell tales of living in a country of contrasts; a land where fire and ice co-exist and dark winters are offset by the summer's midnight sun. Iceland: a country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture.
"Móðurástin", Icelandic for (a) Mother's Love, might seem like a strange title for a metal album, but Katla dares to be different. What on Earth is stronger than a mother's love? Nothing. Not hate, not lust, not greed.

ARSTIDIR (ICE)
Hvel

Originally released in 2015, ÁRSTÍÐIR's third album 'Hvel' offers atmospheric, hauntingly beautiful songs that take elements of folk, rock, and classical music among other styles, which are arranged into new patterns that have invited comparison with RADIOHEAD, SIMON & GARFUNKEL, PENTANGLE, ÓLAFUR ARNALDS, and most of all SIGUR RÓS. The latter happens perhaps inevitably due to superficial similarities as ÁRSTÍÐIR often sing in their native Icelandic tongue and use acoustic instruments extensively.
