The most dense, dark and disturbing Death Metal force from Finland, DESECRESY, rises once again from the depths to seal a new chapter in their alliance with Xtreem Music. Their 9th album, "The Secret of Death", will be unleashed on May 21st through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, cassette and digital formats.

A new descent into oppressive and mortuary realms where the band reaffirms their monolithic, cavernous and utterly suffocating sound.

DESECRESY is the singular vision of Tommi Grönqvist, who has consistently handled all songwriting and instrumentation since the band’s inception. From the fifth album onwards, he also took over vocal duties, pushing the sound into even deeper, more guttural territory. The band’s style remains unmistakable: dark, putrid, mysterious and hypnotic Death Metal infused with Doom-laden atmospheres, evoking the spirit of acts such as BOLT THROWER, INCANTATION, RIPPIKOULU, MYTHIC, ABHORRENCE (Fin) and ROTTREVORE.

With a clear artistic direction and a wealth of material from the very beginning, DESECRESY swiftly entered the studio to record its debut full-length, “Arches of Entropy”, completed in the summer of 2010. The album was immediately sent to Xtreem Music, marking the start of a long-standing collaboration through which DESECRESY has firmly established itself within the lineage of Finnish Death Metal.

A steady stream of albums followed under the same label: “The Doom Skeptron” (2012), “Chasmic Transcendence” (2014), “Stoic Death” (2015), “The Mortal Horizon” (2017), “Towards Nebulae” (2019), “Unveil in the Abyss” (2022) and “Deserted Realms” (2023).

“The Secret of Death” stands as DESECRESY’s ninth full-length release and the fifth crafted entirely by Tommi alone. The album continues the band’s relentless descent into oppressive sonic realms, blending early 90s-inspired brutality with an atmosphere drawn from the darkest layers of the psyche.

DESECRESY represents a fully self-contained entity: music, production and artwork all originate from a single mind. The result is a monolithic and immersive sound rooted in Finnish Death Metal, enriched with Doom influences, deep subterranean vocals, churning riffs and haunting lead guitars, often shifting through unconventional structures and tempos.

Tracklist for "The Secret of Death":

01. Gorge of the Dead

02. It Appears in a Dream

03. By the Slowing Vortex of Time

04. Crypthymn

05. Ancient Timbre of Demise

06. Rotting Ghouls

07. Summoned With Necrolunar Telepathy

08. Vanishing Existence

Release date for "The Secret of Death" will be May 21st through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP, Cassette & Digital formats.

MUERTO: POST NEW RELEASE "ECLIPSED REALMS"

Mexico based black metal warriors MUERTO have posted the bands anticipated debut release "ECLIPSED REALMS", due to be unleashed soon in 2026 (release date T.B.A.) via TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS.

FROM TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS:

NEW RELEASE PREORDER: Muerto (Mexico) - Eclipsed Realms (Black Metal)

New song - https://youtu.be/GoU3BQEIiPc

First song - https://youtu.be/YtPb077owCA

Bandcamp - https://muerto-label.bandcamp.com

Store links - https://linktr.ee/transcendingobscurity

Info -

There is something about the rawness of emotions expressed in their pure, undiluted form and that's probably what's most appealing about this release. Against the backdrop of harrowing, plaintive music are the hollow echoes of an aggrieved, possessed-sounding woman, adding more malice to the music than anything possibly contrived. Over here is something dark, unseemly, insidious if only by being so naturally real and relatable. The intriguing doom-laden black metal music throbs and twists with a firm grip of the atmosphere pressing down on the listener like a hand to the throat. Muerto's disarmingly direct delivery, masterful juggling of various emotions in an aura of suffocating darkness, and their refreshing rawness in a time of overly processed music make them a band worthy of your attention.

For fans of - Amenra, Emptiness, Opera IX, Deathspell Omega

Genre - Black metal with doom metal elements

Line up:

Penelope Matamoros - Vocals & Bass

Juan Mondragon (Necronos, ex-Castleumbra) - Guitars

Eddel Jared - Drums

Swedish Death Metal force REVOLTING strike back with full intensity, unleashing the first advance single along with the complete tracklist and cover artwork of their tenth studio album, “Supernatural Anthems”. A first taste that makes it clear their machinery is still running at full power, with no intention of slowing down.

The album is set for release on June 4th through Xtreem Music on CD and digital formats, and is shaping up to be another relentless dose of filthy, razor-sharp, and infectious Death Metal. No compromises, no frills, no mercy — REVOLTING return to spread the rot once again..

Swedish Death Metal purveyors REVOLTING return stronger than ever with their tenth studio album, “Supernatural Anthems”, once again through Xtreem Music. Since emerging in 2007 under the vision of Revolting Rogga, the band has built a relentless discography rooted in the classic Swedish sound, delivering a steady stream of filthy, catchy, and uncompromising releases that have earned them a solid reputation within the underground scene.

With a career spanning over a decade and a half, and a string of acclaimed albums across labels like FDA Rekotz and Transcending Obscurity, REVOLTING have proven time and again their ability to blend raw aggression with memorable hooks. Their previous works, including “Born to Be Dead” (2022) and their 2024 follow-up "Night of the Horrid", reinforced their position as one of the most consistent acts in modern old-school Death Metal.

Now, with “Supernatural Anthems”, the band delivers another crushing dose of rotten riffs, relentless grooves, and infectious darkness. A new chapter of pure, unapologetic Death Metal that keeps the filth alive and kicking.

Tracklist for "Supernatural Anthems" is as follows:

1. Supernatural Anthem

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE:

Sam Bean, bassist and vocalist for Into The Necrosphere favourites Werewolves, returns to the podcast this week for a wide-ranging discussion spanning both musical and personal territory. He reflects on his experiences as a musician, shares a major update on Australian noise merchants The Berzerker, and offers insight into future plans for Werewolves and Faustian. In a surprise twist, we also get unexpectedly deep on our respective journeys through adulthood, careers and relationships.

On the Weekly News Rant: I rank my favourite drummers and guitarists, and round up the latest singles from Reeking Aura, At The Gates, Cognizance, Behemoth, Wandar and more for judgement.

PLUS: SIK’s new single, “Sons of Pestilence”, basks in the glow of the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight, while a chance discovery of a black metal “sketch” list merits a brutal Swirly of the Week—and a one-way trip to the porcelain bowl of justice.

Out now on all digital platforms.

Iron Maiden have always been about our relationship with our fans above anything else, including awards and industry accolades. However, having said that, it’s always nice to be recognised and honoured for any achievements within the music industry too!

It also seems appropriate for the band to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year as we continue our 50th anniversary celebrations with our Run For Your Lives World Tour visiting the Americas and beyond. We would also like to congratulate our fellow 2026 inductees and extend our gratitude as ever to our fans for their loyalty, perseverance and support for over 50 years now! See you all, somewhere on tour.”

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Western Cape, South Africa thrash metal warriors HALVAR have announced bassist JOSH BARKLEY has left the band.

FROM HALVAR:

Boys, girls, and NBs. It is with a bittersweet feeling that we announce the departure of Josh, aka “The Djenga Paralyzer,” from Halvar.

After much thought, Josh has decided to move on and shift his focus to new chapters in his life. Josh’s impact on the band can’t be understated. When he joined several years ago we were not the thrashy boys you know today. Promo ideas, the live show, the music videos he’s produced and edited as well as all the other hard work and brilliant ideas he brought to the table. His value will live on for many years to come. Thank you for all the good times.

While we are incredibly sad to see him go, we fully support his decision and wish him nothing but love and prosperity in everything he does next. We love you, Jawsh!

As for what’s next, the show must go on! Catch us at Armchair on April 18th for the Wacken Warm Up Party. Information regarding the search for a new low-end specialist will follow soon.
