Three years after their crushing debut Defiled In Oblivion, Castrator return with Coronation Of The Grotesque, an album that not only exceeds all expectations but leaves them shattered in its wake, firmly cementing the band among the North American death metal elite. 

A bludgeoning autopsy of death metal, gore and deathgrind, the low-tuned grooves, discordant leads and mid-tempo rumble of Cerebral Rot is evident in tracks like “Spinous Forms Of Mortal Abhorrence” and the title-track while setting the bar for a melted transformation into more ghastly liquified forms. The gargling slime vox of Ian Schwab are dangerously radioactive, summoned straight from the sealed basement of a nuked morgue narrating a splatter-fest of morbid poetry, decomposing flesh, absurd experiments, and gruesome transgression. Each song plays out like a medical examiner’s case file crossed with the fevered ramblings of a psychopath—precise in its anatomical horror and repugnant in its bizarre depravity.

 collection long in the shadows, “Songs of Hiraeth” brings to light a body of work written and recorded between 2009 and 2011 – songs once set aside, scattered across forgotten splits or lost to the passing of time. Now, remixed, re-amped, and newly presented, these tracks finally take their rightful place within the Panopticon canon.

Originally intended for collaborative releases that never materialised, these seven songs were born during a formative period for Austin Lunn – a time of travel, personal growth, and political reflection. Themes of indigenous history, green anarchism, and the consequences of industrialisation blend with a deep sense of nostalgia and the urge to shed past trauma.

“Songs of Hiraeth” stands not as a meditation on death, but as a tribute to transition, memory, and paths once wandered. It captures the spirit of an era – now brought into focus with the clarity of hindsight.

Arkhaaik has managed to massively expand their sound and created songs that lend a gripping vibrancy to the archaic world of prehistoric times, with an emphasis on utter brute force that is completely foreign to the comforts of modernity. The band has retained a distinctly primitive edge, which sets them apart from more polished contemporaries, while still sounding utterly colossal. While UIHTIS (the hunt) is a highly atmospheric, almost cinematographic album, it showcases some absolutely scorching riffs and "balls to the wall" grooves that are sure to cause whiplash for any listener.

Formed in 2016, Osi and the Jupiter has been steadily crafting a unique sound that blends Nordic folk traditions with the evocative storytelling of Americana. Rooted in acoustic instrumentation, their music features intricate melodies and soulful vocals that resonate deeply with listeners. The band has toured the US and Europe and contributed music to the Vikings series on Netflix, further cementing their connection to Norse mythology.

Larvatus marks a return to the band’s earlier, more mystical sound, evoking the haunting qualities of albums like Uthuling Hyl and Nordlige Runaskog. This album, which began taking shape during the uncertain years of 2020 and 2021, reflects the emotional turbulence of the pandemic. Despite the chaos surrounding its creation, Larvatus is a demonstration of resilience and its introspective and contemplative nature offering a sense of refuge amid a world in flux.

Kentuckian living in Minnesota returns with his most sorrowful, introspective album yet. A search for hope in a bleak world. Easily the darkest and heaviest record of his entire career.
