DOODSWENS: POST NEW RELEASE "DOODSWENS"

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Dutch black metal warriors DOODSWENS have posted the bands anticipated new release "DOODSWENS", unleashed 4/17/2026 via SVART RECORDS.

: @licht.zwart / Fraukje van Burg

DOODSWENS unleashed "LICHTVREES", 12/3/2021 via SVART RECORDS.

FROM SVART RECORDS:

Uncompromising Dutch Black Metal – Doodswens’ sophomore album out in April via Svart Records

Album’s lead single Driven by Death out now!

https://youtu.be/V_kUkQijHxU?si=5CTrgz2Qyinwre7E

Doodswens is a Dutch Black Metal band formed in 2017 by I. Live she performs the drums and vocals, joined by R. & P. on bass and guitar. Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch translates better to Driven by Death. The self-titled sophomore album by Doodswens is out on April 17th 2026.

After establishing themselves in the Dutch scene, Doodswens gained an international following doing tours with Marduk & Gorgoroth. Doodswens’ performances are ceremonial and ritualistic, which have been reported to be as uplifting as they are devastating, depending on the demons you bring them to offer. Whatever you carry with you will be exposed. They like to confront instead of bringing comfort.

If you've been on the verge of ending your life, or think about it more often than not, then you're living with a death wish. A heavy feeling, like a gray cloud hovering around you, gasping for breath and blurring your vision. This is incomprehensible to anyone. Except for those caught in the middle of it. But this album isn't about giving up. It's about finding strength, about someone who regains new energy after facing death. This album isn't about wishing for death, but the death of the wish.

Band’s establisher I. talks about the new single Driven by Death:

“For me, it was on the way back from a spontaneous adventure, full of music, new connections, and inspiration. A path without a plan and a journey without a goal, with only a very strong feeling that this is where I'm meant to be. With a misty horizon of endless asphalt before me. A large tree at the edge of the road, in the corner of my eye, screaming that this could just be the end. But what I felt wasn't fear, it was happiness. With the thought that if I crash into that tree now, I won't care at all. Because up until this moment, I've done everything possible, experienced every adventure, and each time, gotten up again and faced life with that gray cloud around my head. I have a death wish, so if it happens now, it's okay, and I'm at peace with it. This was the moment I realized, I'm not afraid of life. I'm driven by death.”

Doodswens’ self-titled sophomore album is out on Svart exclusive Cream White/Yellow/Orange vinyl, limited Violet vinyl, classic Black vinyl, CD, and digital platforms on April 17th 2026. Official Doodswens T-shirt with the album art also available for pre-order now.

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.

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

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

2. At Dusk They Rise

3. Upon the Chopping Block

4. Undead Wife, Happy Life

5. Those Who Never Lived

6. The Dead are Craving

7. Dungeon Overture

8. A Midnight Massacre

9. The End so Near

Release date for "Night of the Horrid" will be June 4th, 2026 through Xtreem Music on CD & Digital formats.

Regarding the new HECATE ENTHRONED album the band states:

"The long-awaited follow-up to our 2019 release - Embrace of the Godless Aeon" - sees us reclaiming our throne with songs that feel like artifacts unearthed.

These are huge, epic offerings, meticulously carved from the same stone as the band's legacy but delivered with a sharper, more lethal edge. There's a menacing veil woven through lyrics that channel the ghosts of ancient Britain—transforming forgotten legends and pagan lore into a sonic assault”

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 12:05:00 +0000

SAM BEAN of Australian blackened, technical death metal warriors WEREWOLVES was recently interviewed by INTO THE NECROSPHERE..

WEREWOLVES unleashed "MY ENEMIES LOOK AND SOUND LIKE ME", 8/11/2023 via PROSTHETIC RECORDS.

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.
