From the mind of Gore Metal pioneer Matt Harvey, LEFT TO DIE pays homage to Chuck Schuldiner's revolutionary Metal band, DEATH.
Initium Mortis, the upcoming new album from LEFT TO DIE, sees the DEATH-inspired supergroup—including original DEATH members Terry Butler (OBITUARY) and Rick Rozz (MASSACRE)—joining Harvey (EXHUMED, GRUESOME) and Gus Rios (GRUESOME) to capture DEATH's deep, die-hard-only catalog.
Featuring tracks like Arcangel, Witch of Hell, and Legion of Doom expertly executed in the now, Initium Mortis is a must-have for DEATH fans and collectors alike.
"For Initium Mortis we wanted Death fans who had never heard these demo songs to hear them with good production," says Harvey. "Most of these early demos were poor quality, often recorded on a boom box, so by the time someone got a demo through tape trading it was almost inaudible!
We think these tracks are a good representation of the birth of Mantas/Death. This is ground zero - where it all started: three 15 year-old kids creating Death Metal history, and even within these choice cuts from the demo days you can hear the evolution of the music."
"Left To Die went from a thought to doing a full US tour in about 3 months! Pretty remarkable if you ask me," says Butler. "We wanted to play the early material for the fans that weren't able to see the first albums in a live setting. There are many young fans at our shows that are hearing the foundation that DEATH stands on to this day live for the first time! With Matt channeling the best Chuck Schuldiner out there and Gus playing the material perfectly and respectfully we hit the road and haven't looked back."
Ultimately, LEFT TO DIE celebrates a seminal band and the camaraderie of the genre's most extreme corner of music. "First off I would like to thank Gus, Matt and Terry for making Left To Die happen. It's been an honor and pleasure working with them for the past few years and beyond," says Rozz. "It's really cool to be able to hear these tunes from 1984 properly! Old-school Death fans are going to dig this release. Cheers & Peace."

The fourth Woewarden full-length album “The Roots Of My Neglect” is the natural successor to their previous work but is intentionally more visceral. Woewarden have maintained the melodic, melancholic approach to depressive black metal – inspired by the likes of Silencer, Psychonaut 4, and Insomnium— but they have injected a heavier, more abrasive edge reminiscent of the raw torment and fury of 90s Scandinavian legends like Dissection and Emperor.
Musically, this has allowed them to push the contrasts of their songwriting further. In one breath, the arrangements deliver some of the heaviest passages to date; in the next, they are bittersweet, embroiled in vocals ranging from maniacal wails and throat chants to screams of anguish and haunting croons. It is an exploration of neglect, both self-inflicted and external, and the rot that settles when hope is finally abandoned.

"Neapolitan song" has inherently influenced much of the popular and folk italian music and it's worldwide renowned for its expressive and communicative power.
Its origins date back to the XIII century and over the centuries has come down to us, keeping unchanged its attractiveness.
SCOURN (which means “shame” in Neapolitan language) was founded in Naples in 2008 by Giulian (Vocals, All Instruments & Orchestral Arrangements) properly to worship the cult of Parthenope by revealing the most ancient legends and history of the mysterious Neapolitan lands, known over the centuries for their hellenic and roman origins and for being fervent cradle of the Italian culture.
After signing in middle 2016 a two-albums deal with Dusktone, in Ferbruary 2017 SCOURN released the much-anticipated debut album “Parthenope”, recorded mixed and mastered at the world-acclaimed 16th Cellar Studio in Rome in 2016 by the producer Stefano “Saul” Morabito (FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, HOUR OF PENANCE).
Very special guest on the album is the “maestro” Riccardo Studer (from Italian extreme epic metal pioneers STORMLORD) who shaped an impressive orchestra for this incredible debut album. The concept album is focused on the most ancient greek-roman origins of Naples, and each song is related to a specific legend from those times, such as the 79 a.d. volcano Vesuvio’s eruption who destroyed Pompeii and many others.
Riccardo Studer commented the orchestral bonus CD version : " “The orchestral scoring for this album was a long and intense process, but extremely rewarding. Giulian and I worked out how the music should sound to create the right atmospheres and setting according to Parthenope’s concept and lyrics. The result was a truly massive and majestic orchestral texture, with full instrumental ensemble and the addition of the parthenopean traditional folk instruments, the band’s unique trademark. It was a really exciting challenge, brace yourselves …”
The epic black metal atmospheres, strongly influenced by the world famous “canzone napoletana”, and the sound of traditional folk instruments melt with majestic orchestrals and evocative lyrics in native language, express the concept of the band at its best.
All the emotional charge of such profound culture finds full expression in this SCUORN' debut album and track after track will lead you on an epic journey through dreams, successes, struggles and failures of mankind.
Deities that rise above the evil to be as bad to be reason for living, explosion of the volcano as a desire for purification, terrible visions with Father Virgil and Mago as painted veil from its shroud issues the will of hades: all of you have to die and you have to listen to the resurrection through the flames of the sacred "O Vesuvio". Burn and live forever.
“Nature Skrik” is progressive black metal, combining elements of old and new, with influences from old Arcturus and Ulver, as well as newer DHG and Oranssi Pazuzu. Moving beyond standard tremolo picking, the newer material emphasizes "cultish" chanting and ritualistic acoustic bridges, merging together in a chasm of sound, from the deep abysses, to the highest peaks. It is the sound of «nature's scream», which also is the title of the album in Norwegian.
Cynic's journey began with their Uroboric forms, a sonic evolution captured through four demo tapes ranging from interesting to legendary. Released between 1988 and 1991, these recordings trace a path from raw, aggressive thrash to the zenith of technical death metal.
The '88 Demo and '89 Demo laid a foundation of blistering speed, while '90 Demo introduced the complex, jazzy textures they’re known for. By the 1991 Demo, the uroboric cycle was nearly complete and refined, featuring the lineup that would eventually record the landmark “Focus”.
The "Uroboric" motif represents the eternal return—death and rebirth— Mirroring how the band constantly dismantled and rebuilt their identity. These demos were later officially unearthed in the Ureboric Forms collection, giving fans a raw look at the blueprints for progressive metal's future.
Paul Masvidal’s shifting vocals and Sean Reinert’s inhuman drumming transformed simple metal tropes into a philosophical, cyclical art form. They remain a masterclass in how a band finds its soul through evolution. Presented in a three-panel digipak, “Uroboric Forms” stands as the ultimate demo collection for the legendary Florida band.
