Dresden-based black/thrash newcomers LEAD INJECTOR present their debut album "Witching Attack" - an uncompromising homage to classic extreme metal, recorded over seven intensive days in August 2025 at Stereoid Studios in Schönfels, Saxony. "It was a really awesome time, we experimented a lot, racked our brains and learned a great deal," recalls vocalist/bassist Leo about the sessions. Founded in 2022, the trio is the first serious band for all three members after experiences in solo projects and school ensembles, and they quickly found their place in the local scene with their 2024 demo "From the Crypts... of Hell". "Witching Attack" now combines re-recorded demo tracks with fresh material written in the meantime. From the beginning, Lead Injector have demonstrated a knack for catchy song structures that sets them apart from average acts in this style. "We make sure that each of our songs is individual and unique, no two sound alike," Leo emphasizes. This approach creates variety and memorability – qualities not taken for granted in the genre. With "Witching Attack", Lead Injector make a statement: extreme metal with recognition value, authentically produced and carried by the energy of a hungry young band that will significantly help shape the scene in the future.

Sweden's October Tide was the project formed by Katatonia members Jonas Renkse and Fredrik Norrman in 1995, with much of the material being written during a period of inactivity for their main band.
Grey Dawn was October Tide's second album, originally released in 1999.

Following the successful launch of the comprehensive reissue campaign for the musical legacy of Sweden's pioneering melodic death metal band Edge of Sanity and versatile hard rock outfit Nightingale, the fourth and final chapter of titles is set to be released in spring 2026.

Dan Swanö, the frontman of both EDGE OF SANITY and NIGHTINGALE, as well as a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and acclaimed metal producer (Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection, Bloodbath, etc.), released his debut (and only) solo album, Moontower, in 1999. This featured keyboard-oriented, atmospheric, and 1970s-inspired death metal.

CD in deluxe Digipak with 20-page booklet.

Born from ritual, trance, and joyful defiance, EIHWAR stand apart in the modern pagan scene. The duo fuse Nordic folk, electro-industrial pulse, and raw percussive power into something fiercely alive.
With ‘Hugrheim’, EIHWAR take listeners deep into the tenth, hidden world of Yggdrasil. This second album expands their mythic universe with thunderous war drums, chanting in trance languages, and an irreverent energy that rejects solemn reenactment in favor of visceral experience. Each track functions as a gateway, moving between battle rites, ancestral memory, and altered states of consciousness. The record balances ritual intensity with sharp rhythmic drive, shaped for both solitary immersion and explosive live settings.
Anchored in Norse inspiration yet free from dogma, ‘Hugrheim’ feels both ancient and strikingly present. It is a concept album, a soundtrack for transformation, and a celebration of spirit made sound.

For fans of HEILUNG, DANHEIM, CARPENTER BRUT, LAIBACH.

Emerging once again from the abyssal depths of the underground, FOSSILIZATION return with "Advent of Wounds", a work of sheer ferocity and oppressive gloom! A relentless onslaught where its frantic and inexorable rhythms hammer with suffocating intensity, while riffs coil like sepulchral invocations in a maelstrom of death, doom, and blackened chaos.
Bleak, crushing and claustrophobic, "Advent of Wounds" is a summoning of despair that drags the listener into a chasm where brutality and anguish entwine. A suffocating testament to extremity that confirms Fossilization as one of the most formidable forces in contemporary death metal!

Hardcover Digibook with 40-page booklet containing lyrics + parchment paper pages, sticker on cover & clear tray.

Making heads turn since 2016 with the old school yet progressive cosmic death metal exposed in their demos, EPs and split with Undeath and Into Coffin, Italy's Devoid Of Thought released their 40 minutes debut full-length album Outer World Graves via Everlasting Spew Records in 2021. Between 2022 and 2025 the band focused on live activities, playing a number of prime festivals and shows such as Frantic Fest, Brutal Assault, Stige Fest, several European tours with Artificial Brain and Ad Nauseam and supported bands like Beherit, Necrot, Suffering Hour and many more…

Combining influences from bands like Timeghoul, Blood Incantation, Voivod and Incantation in a unique, bizarre and twisted vortex, the Italian quartet is now ready to celebrate its tenth year of existence with their sophomore studio record, self-titled Devoid Of Thought.

From outer world graves, where stars go to die and the effigies of distant planets are found, the portal has now opened toward a quantum leap, placed at the incipit of the end. The panspermic biodome is a colorful multiverse, awash in stellar life and boiling with transformation. Time here represents an entropic euphoria and is no longer a mortal clock. From a putrescent mire, a new form of life is born, endowed with an unprecedented shell, different from that of any known species. Consciousness is now ready to cross the cosmos once again and navigate through oblivion, until returning to a new beginning, in order to experience itself into many forms.

KERZENLICHT carve his own path within the genre, blending primal energy with atmospheric, madrigal tones, cold and unforgiving as the northern wilderness itself!

Oratio ad Septem Profanationes
Invocation to the Seven Desecrations

You who kneel before the frail architraves of the divine, behold the eruption of the Primordial Antagonist, whose essence subverts the very fabric of creation. This sonic compendium, forged in the crucible of 1990s orthodox Black Metal, is the anti-litany that decrees the corruption of the Seven Sisters—once pillars of cosmic harmony, now collapsed beneath the weight of absolute negation.

Each emanation of this opus is a syllogism of desolation, an ontological rupture that dissolves the illusion of order and enthrones the supremacy of malignant entropy. The Adversary offers no redemption - only a mirror wherein your insignificance is revealed, an abyss wherein your faith is pulverized.

Let those who cling to the light falter, for this is the mandate of the Enemy, whose sovereignty brooks no opposition. Submit to the annihilation of the sacred, or be devoured by the maelstrom of eternal dissent.

ASTRAL SPEAR are a newcomer with an old sound. Hailing from Poland, indeed do the mysterious entity harken to their homeland's ancient black metal style - cold, mystical, defiant - and with similarly strong songwriting to boot. However, to say that Astral Spear stands in the glare of burning churches isn't entirely accurate. With their own fire blazing brightly, ASTRAL SPEAR erect surging monuments of stoic darkness, under a funeral moon but taking their torch to other dread places. Righteous and robust in their physicality but equally emitting an ethereal aspect, ASTRAL SPEAR's opening salvo is a 22-minute journey to forgotten realms: truly named!
