Uncompromising Dutch Black Metal – DOODSWENS’ sophomore album out in April via Svart Records

Doodswens is a Dutch Black Metal band formed in 2017 by I. Live she performs the drums and vocals, joined by R. & P. on bass and guitar. Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch translates better to Driven by Death. The self-titled sophomore album by Doodswens is out on April 17^th 2026.

After establishing themselves in the Dutch scene, Doodswens gained an international following doing tours with Marduk & Gorgoroth. Doodswens’ performances are ceremonial and ritualistic, which have been reported to be as uplifting as they are devastating, depending on the demons you bring them to offer. Whatever you carry with you will be exposed. They like to confront instead of bringing comfort.

LP version with black vinyl, A4-sized 12-page booklet, double-sided poster and OBI strip.

Stormkeep return with symphonic black metal that feels hand-built and world-sized: sweeping orchestration, driving momentum, and a darkly radiant sense of grandeur. Bridging distant, mythic eras with the urgency of the present, their songs unfold as transporting epics—majestic, precise, and utterly absorbing.

While writing their upcoming album (due later this year), Remina ended up with three songs that no longer fit the album's themes as it began to take shape. Rather than let these songs become lost in the ether, these were gathered in a brand new ep, "Erebus".

Initially released digitally only in June 2024, the ep found a huge success and pushing us to offer the band a one-off only edition on vinyl and cd.

Italian Symphonic Black Metal Legends OPERA IX has been co-existing with us normal deadly people since 1988. Spreading their sounds, moods and chants across the globe in a soon 40-year career they are true phenomenon. Some might even say a force of nature or an element of their own. The myths are many, and the tales are long and plentiful.

The band elaborates further:

“Veneficium” is a pilgrimage through the labyrinth of the dark arts, a botanical dominion that only the wisdom of women dared to master. These are the echoes of a primal past that still thrum within our blood and resonate in our souls ensuring that such a legacy shall never be surrendered to oblivion.”

The stability of the band despite lineup changes stands as a proof of the dedication of the group and the individual sacrifices and dedication to the cause. An entity with its own occult spirit with core consisting of founder Ossian and vocalist Dispas who joined in 2018.

Icy winds and solitary woods - the debut of one man project Skuggor

"Where Sun Resigns" is the third album of ambient black metal band Skuggor. An evocative exploration of shadowy forests, hypnotic introspection, and the profound sorrow of fading light. Immersing listeners in a soundscape of melancholic melodies and raw intensity, the album weaves themes of meditation and darkness into an ethereal sonic journey that captures the essence of nature's mystique. From haunting riffs to immersive ambient passages, "Where Sun Resigns" invites the listener to embrace the beauty in sorrow and find solace in the depths of shadow.

Avantgarde Music is proud to announce their collaboration with Saidan, an Eastern horror-themed band from Nashville, TN.

Born in 2020, Saidan released three studio albums so far, mixing the weird, over-the-top aesthetic of visual kei with fast, melodic riffing in the vein of labelmates Moonlight Sorcery.

Fangdriller: Scars Beneath Memories Wrist is the fourth studio album born from the minds of multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk and drummer Hundosai, a new chapter in the narrative concept that links together all Saidan releases. In the band’s own words, Fangdriller follows the story of a student named Junko, depressed and miles away from the people she loves. In the depths of her isolation, she finds comfort in a mysterious cult called Ethereal Blood. But unbeknownst to Junko, her anguished seclusion has made her the perfect victim.

2026 reissue !

'An Undying Love For A Burning World' is the first new release from Neurosis in a decade, and a potent statement of intent and rebirth - one that marks the first new steps of resolve and resilience.

'An Undying Love For A Burning World' is an epic album of colossal hypnotism - beautiful, fearsome and utterly compelling in a way that only Neurosis can be. Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis) joins the band on vocals and guitar, a name whose legacy is intertwined with the band’s own and a true kindred spirit.

Neurosis have never been afraid of change, and here they embrace endless regeneration, surrendering to the emotional exorcism through heaviness and distortion that their music incites. Just as the universe tends towards balance, Neurosis’ cacophony of noise, rhythm and dissonance always resolves towards moments of beauty. The addition of Turner's powerful vocals and wildly creative and unhinged approach to guitar proves to be a vital force as Neurosis find themselves again at the mercy of evolution and expression.

The album was recorded by Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City, Sumac, and Great Falls) at Studio Litho in Seattle during three weekends this winter, and mixed in three days just six weeks before release at Evan's Antisleep Audio in Oakland.
