DRACONIAN unleashed "UNDER A GODLESS VEIL", 10/30/2020 via NAPALM RECORDS

FROM DRACONIAN:

ANIMA is out now!

Lyric video by Gaui H Pic in comments.

Anders Jacobsson about the new single:

ANIMA began as a poem I wrote in 2019—an exploration of the soul’s duality and the inner territories we tend to avoid, or fear to face. It moves through paradox, cloaked as a flowing inward journey, culminating in a quiet reckoning: an acceptance of one’s own darkness, embraced rather than denied. The title itself nods to the Jungian archetype.

Sonically, the track leans into a more gothic atmosphere than our earlier work. We invited Daniel Änghede to take on lead vocals, and his dreamy presence aligns seamlessly with the mood we envisioned. His voice intertwines beautifully with Lisa’s, creating a resonance that feels both intimate and expansive.

ANIMA stands apart on the album through its atmosphere, its intent, and the performance it carries.

We sincerely hope it finds something in you.”

FROM NAPALM RECORDS:

Thrash Legends Flotsam and Jetsam To Unleash Rats In The Temple via Napalm Records August 28, 2026!

Pre-Order: http://lnk.to/FlotsamAndJetsam-RatsintheTemple

Can you hear them gnawing? They’re almost through the walls!

American thrash metal pioneers FLOTSAM AND JETSAM are gearing up to unleash their explosive Napalm Records debut album Rats In The Temple, on August 28, 2026.

The legends from Arizona have been a fixture of the metal scene for the better part of the last four decades. With modern renaissance records like The End of Chaos, (2019) and I Am the Weapon, (2024), capturing the glory of their inceptional material, the Kerrang! championed classic Doomsday for the Deceiver, (1986) and No Place for Disgrace, (1988), it’s no wonder they’re still raising hell for their throngs of dedicated fans along festival circuits internationally!

Rats In The Temple lunges out full force with 13 rabid onslaughts of ornate guitarmonies, pummeling double bass kicks, hypnotic bass grooves, and exalted frontman Eric A.K. Knutson’s unmistakably haunting wail. As the temple is besieged by vermin, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM line the walls with grim tales of death, abuse, betrayal, and war, inviting listeners into a dark world not too distant from our own.

Frontman Eric A.K. Knutson said about the album:

“This record is a BEAST, truly our best effort to date!! Do yourself a favor. Dim the lights, grab a drink, put the headphones on, and crank this up. You will not be sorry you did!!!

NACHTHEEM: SET TO UNLEASH "WAAN VAN DE LEEGTE", POST NEW TRACK "GEEN VUUR IN GODS HALLEN"

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Thu, 07 May 2026 13:43:00 +0000

Netherlands based black metal warriors NACHTHEEM have posted "GEEN VUUR IN GODS HALLEN", a track from the bands anticipated debut release "WAAN VAN DE LEEGTE", due to be unleashed 6/6/2026 via TERRARTUR POSSESSIONS...

FROM TERRARTUR POSSESSIONS: ..

NACHTHEEM - Waan van de leegte CD/LP/SHIRT

NEW SINGLE STREAMING ON YOUTUBE NOW!
With zero paid promotion, my channel is as always hidden so any sharing helps!

‘Geen vuur in gods hallen’ is a brand new single from the upcoming fullength ‘Waan van de leegte’ by the Dutch atmospheric Black Metal band Nachtheem, a band shrouded in mystery well below the underground.

The album is a testimony to a sleeping world and its inherent emptiness that has beckoned those avoidant of a deeper truth. The sound found on previous demo and split releases has been refined, crafting a more matured vision of their style of atmospheric dark metal. They explore floating and hypnotic structures combined with a healthy dose of aggression, making ‘Waan van de leegte’ a unique recording of a sound that is solely their own.

This, and much much more coming this Friday, May 8th!

Distribution by Amor Fati Productions.

FROM EVERGREY:

LEAVING THE EMPTINESS - OUT NOW

Who is excited for the new album?

Our new single is a high-energy firecracker that makes you want to jump — we know, because we just played it in Brazil twice and people were more in the air than on the ground.

But don’t let the adrenaline fool you. Underneath the surge is something rawer — a song about the moment you stop running from what hurts and finally turn to face it. “Leaving the Emptiness” hits hard because it earns it. The tension between the euphoric, major-key drive and the weight of the lyrics is completely intentional — we want you to feel joy and ache at the same time, because that’s what it actually feels like to face your demons and come out the other side.

We also made a video that matches that energy in every way, and we genuinely cannot wait for you to see it.

BIZZAREKULT, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "DEN TAPTE KRIGEN", unleashed 1/27/2023 via SEASON O

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE:

Roman V — founder and creative force behind black metal outfit Bizarrekult — returns to Into The Necrosphere this week. We go deep on the creation and themes of the band’s new album, Alt Som Finnes, with Roman opening up about the personal struggles that shaped it, and how unexpected support from a scene legend helped bring it across the finish line. We also cover his experience performing at this year’s INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL NORWAY, and plenty more.

On the Weekly News Rant, fellow Horseman of the Podcasting Apocalypse Mike Scondotto joins me for an epic breakdown of the latest singles from Ride For Revenge, Lorn, Inferno, Arroganz and more. We also get into the recent layoffs at MetalSucks and Metal Injection — and what they signal about the state of metal media — before Mike drops a “bad metal take” that needs to be heard to be believed.

PLUS: Soothsayer premiere their latest single on the Sphere, Werewolves throw down the black metal gauntlet with Faustian, and a delusional rockstar wannabe earns a watery reckoning in my Swirly of the Week.

Out now on all digital platforms.
