Italy's melodic death doom collective Shores of Null open a new chapter with their new album "Homesick," set for release October 16th, 2026. Once again, the record will be full of sharpened songwriting, emotional depth and the unmistakable blend of doom, gothic, blackened, and melodic death metal that has become their signature. "Homesick" represents the band’s most mature and focused work to date. Conceived as a complete listening experience, the album moves through longing, loss, anger, vulnerability, and the search for belonging. It captures Shores Of Null at their most confident and emotionally honest, balancing crushing moments with some of the most memorable melodies the band has written to date, enriched by guest appearances from Natalie Koskinen (Shape of Despair) with her vocals on "The Numbing Void" and Shaun MacGowan (My Dying Bride) on several tracks, including violin on "Dreaming of a Scar" and "The Numbing Void".

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.

The ultra-prolific Jason Köhnen (BONG-RA, THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE, THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID, CELESTIAL SEASON) continues a rich seam of form with the 5th full-length emission from THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET, in which the feral obscurity of avant-primitivist-Black Metal is injected into his patented cinematic Darkjazz.
