Sarkom are back with a vengeance with “Exceed In2 Chaos”, their fifth opus after “Anti-Cosmic Art” released in 2016. In the meantime, they have kept themselves busy releasing several EPs containing some new tunes and a memorable rendition of the Prodigy classic “Breathe”. Anyway, 2025 marks the comeback in full form: “Exceed In2 Chaos” is a grand return to classic, razor-sharp norwegian black metal in pure Sarkom tradition. Since the artwork, Sarkom again push the boundaries of Black Art with a challenging, violent and brightly coloured design.
Musically speaking, “Exceed” displays nine tracks of cold, evil black metal enhanced by a great production and a bone-chilling vocal performance by Unsgaard. Balancing between fast splinters and panzer-like mid-tempos, the record clocks at almost 50 minutes of pure darkness!
Following on from last year’s bleak and disconsolate Wounds single, Finland’s purveyors of
‘Anti-Life Black Metal Misery’, Grave With A View, have returned with their most powerful and
harrowing release to date – Raw Illumination. A full length album steeped in isolation, violence, self
destruction and death, Raw Illumination is not an album for the faint of heart or the fragile of spirit.
Recorded and mixed by O.H.R and mastered by Haldor Grunberg at Satanic Audio (Behemoth,
Dopelord, Christ Agony etc), Raw Illumination is the sonic distillation of caustic chaos and grim,
unmitigated despair – every malicious note cutting straight to the bone – and its aura of desperate
degradation has been perfectly captured in the cover imagery; the artwork and layout by Danny The
Destroyer, utilising powerful, unsettling images of model Anna Iivana Julma, captured by the band.
When it crawls from the crypts of label Dusktone on November 29th, Raw Illumination will hunt down
the broken and the flawed, the outcasts and the lepers and swallow them into its maw of ice and
pain.
For fans of Norwegian Black Metal and melodic Black Metal.
For fans of SETHERIAL, MARDUK, DARK FUNERAL, NECROPHOBIC.
HELVITNIR with their first album deliver classic but yet melodic black metal with a pounding production sound
Consumption is one of the creatures born from the mind of Håkan Stuvemark, mastermind of WOMBBATH and now making music with several projects such as Skineater, Leper Colony and Crossbow Suicide. The first two records established for the band a strong reputation in recovering a classic form of death metal influenced by the mid-period Carcass and the goriest landmarks of the 90s. In particular the second one, “Necrotic Lust” out on Hammerheart Records in 2022, was a fine collection of catchy riffs, abrasive melodies and up-tempo structures. With a blood-spattered cover artwork by Felipe Mora, “Catharsis” tries to raise the bar, gathering twelve bullets of straight-to-the-point old school death metal for a grand total of fifty minutes of dark and hammering vibrations!
LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST was born in 2001 by Stefano G. and Nicola D.A. and nowadays plays a technical and progressive form of extreme metal with heavy influences from black metal. "Laetitia" means happiness, "holocaust" means sacrifice: so the moniker stands for "happiness in sacrifice".
Main sources of inspiration lie in somber visions, past times, dream omens, philosophy, darkness and war.
LIH's fifth full album - after an interesting effort such as the EP "I Fall With The Saints" released in 2021 - is entitled “FANCIULLI D’OCCIDENTE”, and the title is both a memorandum and a wish.
A memorandum for today's people of any age: the visions and values of those who shaped the history of Europe, that is, its children, our ancestors, are sacred and cannot be lost. A wish for our children: may you be worthy of the blood shed by the Children of the West.
LIH plays a blend of avantgarde black metal rooted in the visions created by acts such as Ved Buens Ende, later Spite Extreme Wing or the mighty Mayhem in their "Grand Declaration Of War" vibes
“Björndansen” is the new album by Hagathorn, a folk project by American musician Will Ott. The material is largely derived from traditional Nordic folk songs which feature added improvisation and thematic elements to compliment the original melodies. Two of the tracks are not traditional but rather original Hagathorn compositions inspired by Nordic folklore.
The atmosphere and aesthetics of “Björndansen” are conjured with a historic sound driven by rhythms from an older era. Mystery and melodies from the past intertwine to invoke feelings of magic, ancient forests, and rural antiquity.
With 'A Furrow Cut Short', DRUDKH are continuing on the course charted with their previous release 'Eternal Turn of the Wheel' (2012), where the black and bleak sound of the band's roots seemed to overshadow the progressive and lighter tone of 'Handful of Stars' (2010). Mastermind Roman Sayenko is heavily drawing inspiration from 20th century Ukrainian poetry once more, which often deal with the bloody struggle of this old country to build a nation from foreign oppression. DRUDKH still refuse any kind of interview or promotion and demand to be understood through their music alone. This album equally represents the blood soaked sound of black despair and full hearted resistance to vile treachery and evil as well as the beauty of landscapes and culture.
While we await the anticipated sophomore album from Trondheims MISOTHEIST, their vocalist recorded an album on his own, writing, performing and producing all the music himself(with some very special guest appearances included). Four tracks spanning 40 minutes of cleverly arranged Black Metal ranging from mid-tempo fury and raging aggression, to more epic, grandiloquent parts, all blended in an impressive way.
It's a stunning debut album and yet another amazing project from Trondheim, Norway, released under Terratur Possessions exclusively.
