FEN are climbing to a new artistic height by coming down to earth with their eighth full-length "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth". The East Anglian trio has turned to their 'roots' in every sense, by distilling the true essence of what constitutes their sound through everything that they have learned and added in the last two decades. While the previous album, "Monuments to Absence" (2023), was deliberately arranged dense, fast and intense, FEN decided to leave breathing space on this album to allow more time for themes and ideas to exhale and unfurl. Of course, there is still much sonic aggression but channelled differently as large parts of "Mourning Earth" were recorded live to allow an organic nature to flow, and to permit the natural rhythms of the pieces to develop. Lyrically, FEN sum up their basic idea behind "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth" in their own poetic words: "The morning mists clearing over the boggy expanses of the fens to reveal another grey, gloom-laden day of sorrow and regret. And at twilight, the slow, sad realisation that tomorrow promises only more of the same – tormented by the half-heard whispers of the spirits bound to the soils, our pain continues. And we can only endure." With "Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth", FEN have reached a new pinnacle in their exciting career and achieved a perfect balance between their black metal foundations and post-black metal innovations. FEN take their listener on a journey to grim bogs, languid waterways, and dismal fogs over bare rock – yet on the other side waits a sense of surcease to the endless existential ennui within.

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."

ABIGOR’s 1994 full length debut captured the sudden discharge of the scene´s massive energy, which had built up in the early ’90s. As a result, Verwüstung turned out a bold, forceful but also deeply emotional album, created by adolescents who already had a sharp and individual idea how Black Metal should sound like. Although Verwüstung has in retrospect sometimes been overshadowed by the impact of Nachthymnen (From The Twilight Kingdom), its songwriting easily matches the 1995 classic and shows even more variety. No other ABIGOR album displays such a mix of demonic furore (“Kingdom Of Darkness”), complexity (“Universe Of Black Divine”) and atmosphere (“Midwintertears”), in addition Silenius delivered a vigorous peak performance and never sounded more powerful before or after.

For the first time, DSR presents a vinyl edition with the original 1994 cover collage. Verwüstung comes in a gatefold sleeve with an extensive 40 page booklet, including a comprehensive collection of photos and artefacts from that year, an A4 sticker sheet with the two blasphemous slogan-flyers made in early 1994, as well as liner notes and two detailed interviews:
one with Bruder Cle, talking about the tape-trading scene which shaped the emergence of Black Metal as well as this very album, and one with Georg Hrauda (Hörnix Studio), who recorded all the classic ABIGOR albums in the ’90s.

The vinyl sound – also for the first time – has been cut true to the original Hörnix master, while the download code leads to a new master, especially created for today´s mobile digital devices.

Formed in Kraków in 2019, Cursebinder set out to dissolve the lines between extreme metal and just about anything else. The self-produced demo EP (2020) announced the intention; the debut full-length Drifting (Avantgarde Music, April 2023) delivered on it, with forty minutes of haunting atmosphere, nuanced guitar work and shifting rhythms that earned the band a reputation for music impossible to pin down and difficult to forget.

Three years later, Psychohazard is a force with no shape and no mercy. The second full-length by Cursebinder hits harder and cuts deeper than anything they’ve done yet. Their latest release sees the band push for a more introspective, organic and life-affirming direction, circling the existential clash between the urban rat race and the human desire for love and connection.

At its center is raw human experience with all its contradictions; its veins overflow with a burning desire to look ever closer at the intangible forces that drive our lives. The band smashes their way through eight tracks of demolishing riffs dissolving into hazy atmospheres, jazz-inflected drift surfacing from the dark and layered rhythms drenched in pure psychedelic rage, baring their souls to those willing to listen. 

Their commitment to the ideas, unrelenting emotional power and the intensity of their live shows spill all over this record. So does everything else.  Unpredictable, elemental and intimate, Psychohazard is an invitation to ask the questions we’ve been avoiding.

“The Storm” offers a first glimpse of Armagedda’s forthcoming fifth album, STORM OF EVIL: two new recordings pressed into seven-inch form, pairing the title track with the exclusive “The Sermon Never Heard”. 

Following “Svindeldjup ättestup” (2020), Armagedda once again turns toward older bones. These songs draw a line back through the torn austerity of the band’s origins, the heavier, death-inflected pulse that emerged around “Only True Believers”, and the sickly spiritual oppression later perfected on “Ond spiritism”. Yet the result is not retrospective. It is a further descent, carried by the same adversarial will under a harsher and more immediate guise.

Conjured at Necromorbus Studio in October 2025 alongside Tore Stjerna, “Storm of Evil” stands as a premonition of what is to come: grave-bound, accusatory black metal with the stench of old death in its breath. No mourners. No prayers. Only the sermon never heard.
