FROM MORTIIS:

Hey!

Farewell Romero, the final single from Ghosts Of Europa, is now streaming everywhere.

This single is special in several ways, as it might be my favourite, artwork wise, of all the 4 singles, and it also comes with 2 bonus tracks:

A «madrigal» version of Violent Silence, with Laurie Ann Haus, mixed by Sean Beavan and a rather evil and dirty piano based (it starts that way, and degrades into something else along the way) version of Farewell Romero, featuring Nicolas Horvath, mixed by Marc Urselli

Here´s also a few pictures of Enya, holding some vinyl versions of Ghosts Of Europa, in the same location we shot her photos, for the album artwork.

It only took about 3 weeks of negotiations, to get her to leave her room, and pose for these.

Those photos were taken by Linda Ellefsen.

You can grab copies of Ghosts Of Europa from either of the EU or US Mortiis webstorees (different coloured vinyls from the ones in the photos too), or directly from Prophecy Productions or Wolf Mountain Productions.

IGNEA'S studio was effected by a RUSSIAN STRIKE.

IGNEA unleashed "DREAMS OF LANDS UNSEEN", 4/28/2023 via NAPALM RECORDS.

FROM IGNEA and NAPALM RECORDS: :

Cosmonauts,

This is your pre-launch briefing.

Today, we're sending the first transmission from our upcoming album, Monumental — a song called "Dreams of Lands Unseen."

This song is about the blend of ambition and illusion, where space wasn't an escape but a conquest shaped by ideology and dreams. Across Ukraine and many post-Soviet countries, mosaics still depict this promised future: cosmonauts, rockets, bold visions of worlds yet unseen.

This song isn't nostalgic for space exploration itself, so much as for an aesthetic that was itself already nostalgic, looking back at a future that was already passing.

Still, I guess each of us has dreamt of becoming an astronaut at least once... haven't you?

Premiere today at 2 PM CET. See you there.

Video: Lame Perfect

Mixing & Mastering: Jacob Hansen

__________________________

New album "Monumental" to be out on October 23, 2026, through Napalm Records. Digital & physical pre-orders are up and running.

DYMNA LOTVA: "Okay, seriously though, this criminal case is 100% politically motivated and is connected to my participation in the protests and my support for Ukraine. It's even flattering that, six years after the protests and five years after I left Belarus, the regime is still keeping an eye on what we're doing. It confirms that we're on the right path and motivates us to keep going."

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0000

NOKT, singer of Minsk, Belarus, Poland depressive black metal warriors DYNA LOTVA has been charged with five crimes for supporting the Ukrainian army in the war against Russia,

DYNA LOTVA are set to release "VYRAJ", 8/7/2026 via PROPHECY PRODUCTIONS.

DYNA LOTVA, via BANDCAMP, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "WORMWOOD" (EP), unleashed 8/15/2017 via DER NEUE WEG PROMOTIONS.

DYNA LOTVA unleashed "THE LAND UNDER THE BLACK WINGS: SWAMP", 11/5/2016 via DER NEUE WEG PROMOTIONS.

FROM DYMNA LOTVA:

Our singer Nokt is charged under five criminal articles (our comments added in brackets):

Part 1 of Article 289-1 Propaganda of terrorism (for public supporting Ukrainian army and Belarusian volunteers who defend Ukraine) - up to 3 years in prison;

Part 1 of Article 290-1 Financing terrorist activity (for donations and collecting money for Ukrainian army and Belarusian volunteers who defend Ukraine) - up to 12 years in prison;

Parts 1 and 2 of Article 361-4 - Assistance to extremist activity (for participation in protests against dictatorship) - up to 7 years in prison;

Article 366-1 Prohibition of violence or threat of violence, destruction, or damage to property against Lukashenka (for dictator's voodoo doll ) - up to 9 years in prison;

Part 1 of Article 368 - Insulting Lukashenka (for telling the truth) - up to 4 years in prison.

She has been asked to appear before the Investigative Committee of the Sovietsky District of Minsk. Hahah, really

The court hearing is scheduled for August 14.

MESSAGE FROM NOKT:

People say that nowadays metal, including black metal, has become too safe and too tame. Okay, hold my beer - I’m being charged under five articles of the Belarusian Criminal Code, including charges of "extremist activity" and "financing terrorism." I could be sentenced to up to 12 years in prison! Maybe the lukashenka's regime wants to make extreme metal extreme again?

Okay, seriously though, this criminal case is 100% politically motivated and is connected to my participation in the protests and my support for Ukraine. It's even flattering that, six years after the protests and five years after I left Belarus, the regime is still keeping an eye on what we're doing. It confirms that we're on the right path and motivates us to keep going.

I want to ask our fans not to worry about me. In Poland, I have legal international protection status because of political persecution. In Belarus, as a result of this trial, my property could have been confiscated - if I'd had any. Spending all my money on music turned out to be a great idea!

And to the Investigative Committee of the Sovietsky District of Minsk, I'd like to say:

Kiss my extremist ass.

We dive into the early days of the band, as Ken shares stories from their first-ever tour, supporting none other than the legendary Emperor. We also talk about Abigail Williams’ evolution alongside the development of the US black metal scene, and Ken shares the story behind the making of the band’s most recent album, A Void Within Existence.

On the Weekly News Rant, I’m answering YOUR questions, including which non-metal guests I’d love to have on the show, which revered bands I just can’t get into, and which musicians I’ve interviewed whose music I ended up liking more — but the person less. Plus, plenty more!

I also round up new music from Tony Iommi, Silvertomb, Sigh, Krallice, Kanonenfieber and Critical Defiance for judgment.

PLUS — Illinois blackened death metallers @solt_metal serve up a man-sized helping of “Unsanctioned Filth”.

The band themselves have sworn to release ten albums in ten years, or commit group suicide if they fail.

Ridiculously brutal moronic caveman death metal from members of PSYCROPTIC, THE BERZERKER, ABRAMELIN, THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM, and THE AMENTA.

For fans of MARDUK, MARDUK, fucking MARDUK, and getting your teeth kicked right the fuck in.

Artwork regular Mitchell Nolte is back with a terrifyingly trademark cover featuring crucifixions, baby kebabs, and a werewolf army.

Mixed and Mastered in Hobart by Joe Haley (PSYCROPTIC) who has lost so much IQ from being forced to sit through WEREWOLVES mixing sessions that he has lost the power of speech.

Seasoned death metal performers who have done laps of Australia with ARCHSPIRE, MAYHEM, ABBATH, INGESTED, and ULCERATE bringing zero appeal to a wide range of audiences who all equally loathed the dirty blastbeats crammed down their worthless throats. They all purchased merchandise and albums instantly.

Released on Oct 9th

preorder details soon!
