Members of Chaos Inception and Malignancy join forces to unleash a new crushing ensamble! Black Hole Deity are purveyors of old school mastery yet sounding modern and tight. This is Death Metal, period.
For years one of Finnish black metal's best-kept secrets, in recent times have FORGJORD sprung to prominence among the adventurous as practitioners of a strangely alluring sort of obsidian. Although existing since the mid '90s and patiently parceling out their recordings in an almost-clandestine manner, the upswing in activity began with FORGJORD's third album (and first with WEREWOLF), Uhripuu, in 2017 and was followed by the equally challenging Ilmestykset in 2019, the comparatively more rockin' Laulu kuolemasta a year later, and the draw-everything together Ruumissaarna Pt. 1 in 2022. Among those four full-lengths, the Finnish trio solidified and strengthened their strident aesthetic - malodorous melodicism, hypnotically rendered through a ripped-raw soundfield, making their strangely hummable ruminations on triumph & tragedy sound all the more alien, each album unified yet unique within that aesthetic - and made it all seem effortless. Finally, it seemed that the name FORGJORD was no longer a "secret."
RUTTOKOSMOS were one of the great "what if?"s of Finnish black metal. The band formed sometime in 2003 and released the five-song Ja minä näin kuoleman demo in 2006 and then the six-song Kärsimys demo a year later. Afterward, nothing was heard from RUTTOKOSMOS ever again. Only one member concurrently played in Divina Inferis, and the other two members either disappeared or played pseudonymously in other bands. In 2021, WEREWOLF compiled both demos onto one massive compilation, (re)introducing RUTTOKOSMOS to a newer generation starved for authentic mysticism in black metal, with the cryptic suggestion that a debut album may someday or decade arrive.

New England extreme metal powerhouse, Escuela Grind, will release its new LP, 'Dreams on Algorithms', on October 18 via MNRK Heavy. Recorded at Salem, Massachusetts' GodCity studio with producer Kurt Ballou, and mastered by Nick Townsend (Dr. Dre, Betty Davis) the record is the highly anticipated follow-up to Escuela Grind's celebrated 2022 full-length debut, 'Memory Theater', a recording hailed as "an opus of extremity" by The New York Times.Escuela Grind’s journey through the punishing sonic landscape of Grindcore has been anything but status quo. Their mantra of promoting inclusivity and acceptance within extreme music communities stands as a pillar of progression in an often gate-kept and closed-minded subculture. Vocalist Katerina Economou spreads the band’s spirit and core beliefs on every stage they touch – amplifying the voices of the underrepresented and connecting people on a level deeper than the music.Dreams on Algorithms is a sonic testament to the band’s ideologies – a bludgeoning display of progressive extreme metal that steps outside of genre boundaries.
Comdemned to Suffer was recorded in Croydon UK and mixed by London-based Tide Music Studios. This is our 3rd album, the most personal so far, as no guest musicians participated during recording and lyrics are more mature and complex, mostly reflecting different struggles that we’ve overcomed in the past 5 years as a band. In the melodic death metal genre, we like to add black metal elements to the mix as well to make the music sound a bit darker and intense. We’ve been influenced mostly by death metal pioneers from 90’s but there are also modern elements in our music. We were influenced by the bands like The Carcass, At the Gates and Dissection, so our music can be described as ‘similar’ to these bands with a pinch of modern elements on top. We put great emphasis on this album and worked really hard to make it sound profound and we believe this is the most mature album that we’ve released so far.
In the vein of AT THE GATES, DISSECTION & CARCASS
