Eight years after the acclaimed Slow Motion Death Sequence, Norwegian experimental visionaries Manes return with To Burn Is To Shine, their sixth full-length album and the beginning of a new chapter in a career defined by fearless artistic evolution. Since their inception in Trondheim in 1992, Manes have consistently refused to remain confined within stylistic boundaries. Emerging from the early Norwegian black metal underground with the cult debut Under Ein Blodraud Maane, the band soon embarked on a remarkable transformation that culminated in the landmark Vilosophe, an album that would become one of the defining statements of avant-garde metal. Throughout the following decades, Manes have continued to blur the lines between metal, dark electronica, alternative rock, trip-hop and experimental music, developing a sound that remains unmistakably their own.

To Burn Is To Shine also features contributions from several distinguished guests, including Ana Carolina Skaret (Mourning Sun), Eskil Blix (Djevel, Vemod), Marita Hellem (Enevelde), Rune Folgerø (Atrox, Drontheim) and Tom Christian Engelsøy (Drontheim), while Vegar Larsen (Whoredom Rife) performs drums on two tracks. The striking visual identity of the album has been created by New York-based designer Michael Houtz, whose handcrafted artwork extends across the physical editions and accompanying merchandise.

After the lucky "Usurp The Throne", well-reviewed and extensively played on tour, UBUREN are back with a new harsh, unrelenting strain of black metal full of the usual viking metal edge. Once again, in the new batch of songs their sound sits cold and atmospheric, raw and haunting, built on tremolo-driven riffing in the best tradition of the second-wave black metal. Nonetheless, the underlying melody is never completely lost, highlighting melancholic passages that give the songs a Majestic weight.

Formed in 2010 in Sandnes, Rogaland, Uburen took shape around a shared obsession with Norse mythology and old Norwegian culture — a mutual ideology of resurfacing viking folklore through music built to be felt as much as heard. Following a lineup change in late 2019, Uburen entered the studio with new drummer Wrage Steinarson for what would become 2023's "Usurp the Throne" — an eight-track opus marking a new highpoint for the band. Cold, atmospheric and uncompromising, the album stood as Uburen's most fully realized record up to that point. The new opus, "Dødsdans I Aske", promises to raise the bar even higher.

For over two decades, ISKALD have stood among the leading names in Norwegian melodic black metal. Now performing as a five-piece, the band expands its trademark northern sound with its most ambitious and immersive work to date.
Built as a conceptual journey, "Curse of the Mind" unfolds through four interconnected chapters linked by ritualistic invocations, exploring themes of psychological torment, inner conflict, fragile hope and ultimate sacrifice. Framed within a stark, Norse-inspired vision of Helheim, the story is mythological in setting but deeply psychological at its core. Helheim is not merely a place, it is the shape taken by inner darkness. The true battlefield is the mind itself.
The album unfolds in four movements, connected by four ritual Invocations.

After three years and Ten Thousand Hells… SPIRIT POSSESSION unleash their third Full Length album Cathedral Speech to be released on Oct 2.
Seven attacking labyrinths of far venturing Black Heavy Metal, with all spires pointed down.
Where 2023’s Of the Sign… held a knifelike gaze into more erratic, adventurous hymns, Cathedral Speech sees SPIRIT POSSESSION awaken their most piercing, deranged, and narratively epic form yet. Spiraling guitar storms and explosive drum batterings channel first wave Black/Death assaults in the same breath as expansive ‘70s composition.
With Four steps into madness followed by a side long suite - These are vicious electric chants as towering as they are blasphemous.
 
Featuring S. Peacock (Black Curse / Ulthar / Mastery) on Strings and Vocals, and A. Spungin (Ormus) on Drums and Handmade Synthesizers.Recorded in the depths of the S•P Dungeon / and studio mixed at The New Menegroth, The Thousand Caves. Artwork by Luciana Lupe Vasconselos.

 2026 ninth album from Finnish DESECRESY, the one-man project of Tommi Grönqvist, continuing to develop his distinctive vision of dark, heavy and cavernous Finnish Death Metal. Since taking over vocal duties after the first four albums, Grönqvist has handled all the music himself, consolidating a style built around dense, crushing riffs, predominantly mid-paced and slow tempos, abyssal vocals and an oppressive atmosphere that connects classic Death Metal with darker Death/ Doom territory. “The Secret of Death” retains this unmistakable identity while introducing a more prominent use of synthesizers and more varied rhythmic structures, adding an almost cosmic and hallucinatory dimension.

6th album from 2026 by Swedish MEGASCAVENGER, the long-running project led by the ever-prolific Rogga Johansson, one of the most respected and productive figures in European Death Metal. Staying true to his passion for filthy old-school Death Metal, "Toxic Noxious Undeath" delivers another crushing dose of rotten riffs, morbid atmospheres and sinister melodies rooted firmly in the classic Scandinavian tradition, while taking the concept a step further through an exceptionally ambitious guest lineup.

Debut album from 2026 by Bulgaria's NECROMONGER and a true celebration of the foulest and most primitive early 1990s Death Metal. Featuring musicians from projects such as FECAL BODY INCORPORATED and COCKLUSH, the band embraces a vision deeply rooted in the genre's origins, rejecting modern trends in favor of the darkest and most repulsive sounds of the extreme underground.

Chile’s Ripper returns with their first full-length since 2016’s “Experiment of Existence”.

“Towards Rebirth” contains the band’s most violent work to date. Razor sharp guitar work, intense drumming and well-crafted songs are still there…only more concise, more vicious.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Pablo Clares at DM6 Studio. Artwork by Paolo Girardi.

In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, Chat Pile answer with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates Who Loves The Sun, their third full-length record. Since the band’s formation just over six years ago, the Oklahoma City-based quartet Chat Pile has grown from a scrappy passion project into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap’n Ron (drums) create a crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock that captures a raw, undeniably human essence in an age marked by technological overreach and the cold state of society. Nothing about Who Loves The Sun feels synthetic.

Whereas their debut album God’s Country depicted a particularly American flavor of dread, and the follow up Cool World showed a cruel planet defined by global systemic violence, Who Loves The Sun peels the skin back on how collective indifference defines this new century. Spanning imagery of coastlines devouring cities, dead-end jobs, and submission to data-driven inauthenticity, the album dissects the apathy-bloated state of 21st-century existence as a slow-motion apocalypse.

For their new album Scour Order, their sixteenth release, Krallice comes full circle and returns to Profound Lore (who initially released the band’s first three releases) with a new album that is raging and dark, dense but also expansive. One that slightly recalls the earlier phase of the band yet continues in the forward-thinking/next level singular sonic histrionics that the band have continued to expand and morph upon throughout the years. While the band have been experimenting more with their sound (band members switching roles, the band diving into more ambient and experimental territory etc.) over the last little while, Scour Order sees Krallice tether slightly back to more of a progressive black metal aura akin to the first four albums.
