It took a very, very long time for Tiwanaku to be satisfied with their debut album. The prog death metal band, originally formed in 2003 by ex-Nocturnus guitarist Ed Mowery, in its long life featured musicians like Richard Christy (ex-Death), James Murphy (ex-Obituary, ex-Testament) and late Michael Estes (ex-Acheron) among the many. Now, no less than nineteen years later, Tiwanaku is ready to release their first studio album, Earth Base One, via Avantgarde Music / Unorthodox Emanations on November 4th. The album will include contributions from many renowned musicians, from the aforementioned Michael Estes to Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse), and will feature a stunning artwork by Spanish art master Juanjo Castellano

TERRA are one of the most intangible and enigmatic presences to emerge from within the UK underground music scene in recent times. The Cambridge-based Atmospheric Black metal group formed in 2014 and since have worked dedicatedly to carve an atypical niche for themselves with their uncompromising musicality, seeking to communicate a shared experience of existentialism. 

The band comments: "Für Dich Existiert Das Alles Nicht is the purest example of this bands determination to concentrate all of its unrelenting elements into a pressure vacuum and explode them out into new and unexpected textures that will remain with the listener in a multitude of ways. TERRA have been biding their time; sharpening their claws on the pavement they have dragged themselves through to better utilize a way to gift the most honest statement of intent imaginable."

Fresh on the heels of their second album, “Strayed in Shadows”, Sweden’s premiere gothic rock band De Arma return with a three-song EP called “Nightcall”. Whereas the full-length still showed some traces of De Arma’s metal past, the EP introduces elements of darkwave into their ever-expanding sonic palette. Nonetheless, it retains many of the characteristics which earned the previous effort such critical acclaim: the outpouring of raw emotion materialising through sweeping dreamscapes, gripping choruses, and the mesmerising interplay between vocalists Andreas Pettersson and Maria Oja.

Opening with a fug of crypt-dwelling ambience, and the distant howls of the bloodthirsty Wampyre, building through riff and atmosphere towards a clearer skied climax in the more epic medievalism from Ages of Blood. A perfectly ascendent split with euphoric trajectory from the raw to the radiant, balanced by the pivotal Beulenpest who features in both projects.

SERPENT SPAWN is a brand-new formation of old-school German veterans: drummer Markus Winterstein (Malaphar), guitarist Rob Wenglorz (ex-Blood, ex-Dawn), and vocalist/guitarist/bassist Martin Witchskinner (Blood). Given such an '90s-entrenched pedigree, it's no surprise that the power-trio's debut recording, the EP Crypt of Torment, is an authentic slice of ripping, straightforward DEATH METAL.

25 years after their first collective effort - the neo-classical ambient recordings that would eventually appear on Urfaust’s ground-breaking release ‘Geist ist Teufel’ - IX and DOLEN are once again re-defining their creative landscape under a new moniker:
M3†H ΔSSΔSSIN.

Combining their life-long fascination with 80s industrial acts such as GGFH and Skinny Puppy with modern subgenres such as witch house, horrorcore, while remaining deeply rooted in the black metal movement of the last millennium, they are again exploring new sonic extremes. ‘The Reptilian Side of God’ is a relentless and dystopian tour de force, demonstrating a total lack of respect for stylistic boundaries and conventions. It is a musical aberration, a freak project, if you will – cold and bleak – with powerful, pulsating basses, devastating drums and harsh synth leads, supplemented by the intense vocal performance of Urfaust’s IX – ushering the listener into uncharted and hitherto unknown territories.

M3†H ΔSSΔSSIN’s ‘The Reptilian Side of God’ presents a claustrophobic vision of a world about to end; nihilistic in its intent, raw, pure and precise in its execution. It is the final death growl of a disillusioned era – infused with demons, eagerly awaiting the triumphant return of The Eternal Adversary.
