Crushing Death Metal for fans of Morbid Angel ('Gateways' era), Dead Congregation, Immolation 

Icons of goth and doom, PARADISE LOST will release their long-awaited, 17th album Ascensionon September 19th. The band’s first album in 5 years, following 2020’s critically acclaimed Obsidian, was produced by guitarist Gregor Mackintosh and mixed/mastered by Lawrence Mackrory. Ascension is a testament to the band’s longevity and relevance over their 35+ year career, encompassing their signature styles of gothic, death and doom fans have cherished along the way.

Ascension’s album cover fittingly features the painting The Court of Death (1870-1902) by renowned British artistGeorge Frederic Watts, which hangs in the ate Gallery in London. The painting depicts Death as an enthroned angel flanked by allegorical figures of Silence and Mystery guarding sunrise and the star of hope, while a warrior surrenders his sword and a duke his coronet, showing that worldly status offers no protection. The painting’s bleak, prophetic vision embodies Ascension’s dark, tormented soundscapes as mournful verses collide with dire, foreboding riffs

+ANCESTRAL BLACK METAL+ Remastered reissue of debut full-length by Dutch-Chilean band INVUNCHE. Featuring the original cover art and never before released lyrics. II is inspired by Ildjarn, Dawn of Humans and Bone Awl, channeling vile black metal punk into two seamless psychedelic.

Australian death metal fiends Vile Apparition are back with their second album. Proudly released by Me Saco Un Ojo Records and Dark Descent records.

Mechanically precise drumming violence and crazed riffs fire you into an onslaught of malevolent extremity with intense, guttural vocals spewing through the mix. The ruthless aggression shown from the very beginning will transport you back to the brutality of the 90s with a modern twist showcasing only the most gruesomely barbaric ideas from the band. Warped ideas contort into truly abysmal visions of gore and depravity with only the most malignant of sounds making the cut. Along with the groove-laden riffing, technical solos fit the unwavering madness to give some impressive shred flair to the monstrous hammering assault.

If pounding madness and malicious technical flourishes is your thing then Vile Apparition have you covered. This is totally cranked brutality and unwavering musicianship taken to its logical and perverse conclusion. A torturous blend of brutal death metal that takes no prisoners and gives no quarter. Find yourself holding your breath from the unending ruthless musical mayhem (or perhaps the stench of offal in the air). “Malignity” delivers what the title promises, and your brain matter will be splattered by the end of a single listen of this record.

From the forbidden depths of vampiric sorcery emerges Black Funeral's most haunting conjuration, "Empire of Blood" - a spectral tapestry woven from the arcane mysteries of the undead nobility. This otherworldly opus channels the ancient magicks that flow through immortal veins, where centuries-old rituals bind the living to eternal darkness. Black Funeral is one of the originators of "Vampyric Black Metal" from the early to mid 1990's!
Each track unfolds like an incantation from blood-stained grimoires, driven by haunting tremolo melodies that spiral through the shadows like phantoms in midnight procession. The album's ethereal atmosphere conjures visions of pale aristocrats performing forbidden rites in candlelit chambers, their empire sustained not by conquest but by the dark arts that transcend mortal understanding.
Serpentine riffs weave through the silence like whispered spells, while hypnotic rhythms pulse with the heartbeat of ancient, vampyric. The production's spectral clarity preserves each nuance of the supernatural - every note suspended in the liminal space between life and death, each vocal invocation rising from lips that have tasted eternity.
Melancholic passages drift through the compositions like mist through gothic arches, evoking the profound loneliness of immortal existence. These moments of haunting beauty reveal the tragic splendor of creatures who have traded their souls for dominion over the night.
"Empire of Blood" stands as Black Funeral's most atmospheric testament - a sonic séance that channels the vampiric essence through centuries of accumulated darkness. This is music for the witching hour, when the veil grows thin and the ancient magicks of the blood-sworn nobility stir in their eternal slumber.
