CD

Spanish blackened death metal quartet Akouphenom is about to release their new EP, Connections To The Erebus, through Avantgarde Music’s death metal division, Unorthodox Emanations. This release marks a significant addition to the band's discography, following their 2023 debut album, Death·Chaos·Void. Formed in 2014 in A Coruña, Spain, Akouphenom is known for their fusion of blackened death metal with elements of doom and noise, aiming to reflect absolute evil in their creations

Marking 35 years of Sigh, a 2025 fully re-recorded edition of the band’s classic 2007 opus, Hangman’s Hymn (the band’s first concept album).

The resulting work is by far the fiercest, most brutal, and most symphonic Sigh album to date.

Blackened Thrash meets Classical music.

SHINING announces a new EP that will include unreleased tracks (both original and cover-songs) with B-sides recorded during their last studio-session. Revering tradition, long-time producer Andy La Rocque have again mixed, mastered and produced, while French painter Maxime Taccardi have also once more contributed with artwork.

DIVIDED YOU’LL STAND AND UNITED YOU’LL FALL marks the end of what at first seemed like a promising era for the band, but one that also ended abruptly. Founder and sole remaining original member Niklas Kvarforth comments: “We are releasing these songs so that we can get the last three years out of our systems, which is a necessity for us to have fully dealt with before its time to record our next album”.

The first official release of Lost Relics has been unveiled. Originally a limited bonus CD for the first edition of Tales of Othertime, Lost Relics will now be presented as a MC with completely new art by Gabriel Danilchik. Featuring 5 tracks of dungeon synth and fantasy ambient derived from this first era of the band.

Comes in a 4-panel digipack with a 8-page booklet.

The fearlessly hypnotic third album from MÜTTERLEIN - the vehement and shadowed project of Marion Leclercq (ex-OVERMARS) - is a compelling reconstruction: a cry, a lament, and a promise of resilience against collective suffering.

Taking the layered electronics, cavernous sound-design and magnetic rhythms of 2021's "Bring Down the Flags" to a logical conclusion, "Amidst the Flames, May Our Organs Resound" is anchored by an abrasive and darkly cinematic Industrial aesthetic - contrasting brutality and catharsis in a flickering, spellbinding and unsettling trip into hyper-conscious rage.
