Eight years after the acclaimed Slow Motion Death Sequence, Norwegian experimental visionaries Manes return with To Burn Is To Shine, their sixth full-length album and the beginning of a new chapter in a career defined by fearless artistic evolution. Since their inception in Trondheim in 1992, Manes have consistently refused to remain confined within stylistic boundaries. Emerging from the early Norwegian black metal underground with the cult debut Under Ein Blodraud Maane, the band soon embarked on a remarkable transformation that culminated in the landmark Vilosophe, an album that would become one of the defining statements of avant-garde metal. Throughout the following decades, Manes have continued to blur the lines between metal, dark electronica, alternative rock, trip-hop and experimental music, developing a sound that remains unmistakably their own.

To Burn Is To Shine also features contributions from several distinguished guests, including Ana Carolina Skaret (Mourning Sun), Eskil Blix (Djevel, Vemod), Marita Hellem (Enevelde), Rune Folgerø (Atrox, Drontheim) and Tom Christian Engelsøy (Drontheim), while Vegar Larsen (Whoredom Rife) performs drums on two tracks. The striking visual identity of the album has been created by New York-based designer Michael Houtz, whose handcrafted artwork extends across the physical editions and accompanying merchandise.

Rooted in a sombre, tragic and epic expression of Doom-infused Melodic Black Metal, “Cursed Songs from the Garden of Twilight” carries a style hard to link to other specific bands. THE SCARS IN PNEUMA (brought forth by Lorenzo Marchello, ex-Kolony Records) blends stunning melodies and dramatic atmospheres, interweaving them within structures balanced between slow/fast-paced rhythms and haunting interludes, resulting in a continous unfolding of compositional details. Cavernous growling vocals float above the instrumental flow, enhancing the stream of emotions in intensity.

Jewelcase

Norwegian progressive black metal stars Enslaved are back with their 17th studio album, 'Mið', which showcases a band that is constantly taking on new challenges and evolving. From the multi-layered beauty of “Tales of Trees” to the devastating, Gojira-esque twist in “Mountain” to the sheer power of “I Am Ice”, 'Mið' is a focused and intense opus that underscores the Spellemannprisen-winning band’s exceptional status in today’s metal scene.

Italy's melodic death doom collective Shores of Null open a new chapter with their new album "Homesick," set for release October 16th, 2026. Once again, the record will be full of sharpened songwriting, emotional depth and the unmistakable blend of doom, gothic, blackened, and melodic death metal that has become their signature. "Homesick" represents the band’s most mature and focused work to date. Conceived as a complete listening experience, the album moves through longing, loss, anger, vulnerability, and the search for belonging. It captures Shores Of Null at their most confident and emotionally honest, balancing crushing moments with some of the most memorable melodies the band has written to date, enriched by guest appearances from Natalie Koskinen (Shape of Despair) with her vocals on "The Numbing Void" and Shaun MacGowan (My Dying Bride) on several tracks, including violin on "Dreaming of a Scar" and "The Numbing Void".

The Long-Awaited 4th Chapter of Despair from Finland’s DSBM Masters MORTUALIA!!!

Emerging once again from the endless darkness of Finland, MORTUALIA returns with its haunting fourth full-length album, “Cold in the Earth.” Spearheaded by the enigmatic Shatraug, the revered mastermind behind Horna and Sargeist, MORTUALIA continues its descent into the abyss with a work steeped in sorrow, isolation, and hypnotic melancholy. Following the acclaimed “Wild, Wild Misery,” this newest offering further refines the band’s signature fusion of depressive black metal and mournful doom into a cold, emotionally devastating experience.

Across seven desolate hymns, including the crushing title track “Cold in the Earth,” the somber passages of “Remembrance I & II,” and the bleakly mesmerizing “Winter’s Due,” MORTUALIA conjures an atmosphere of hopelessness and spiritual ruin unlike few others in the genre. Shatraug’s masterful songwriting once again balances raw black metal aggression with slow-burning funeral dirges, weaving memorable melodies and sorrow-drenched hooks into every shadowed corner of the album.

Dark, introspective, and utterly consuming, “Cold in the Earth” stands as another towering achievement in MORTUALIA’s discography - a bleak monument to misery forged by one of black metal’s most distinctive and enduring creative forces.

"You're Weak And You Know You're Weak" is the seventh album from WEREWOLVES in seven years.

The band themselves have sworn to release ten albums in ten years, or commit group suicide if they fail.

Ridiculously brutal moronic caveman death metal from members of PSYCROPTIC, THE BERZERKER, ABRAMELIN, THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM, and THE AMENTA.

For fans of MARDUK, MARDUK, fucking MARDUK, and getting your teeth kicked right the fuck in.

Artwork regular Mitchell Nolte is back with a terrifyingly trademark cover featuring crucifixions, baby kebabs, and a werewolf army.

Seasoned death metal performers who have done laps of Australia with ARCHSPIRE, MAYHEM, ABBATH, INGESTED, and ULCERATE bringing zero appeal to a wide range of audiences who all equally loathed the dirty blastbeats crammed down their worthless throats.
